Chapter 52: Qin Se and Ming

Early on Sunday morning, Zhao Yici flew from Kyoto to Puhai to enjoy the weekend with Li Jingwei.

Li Jingwei flew directly back to the United States from Puhai on Monday morning, and the two may not see each other for a long time.

The two originally planned to send Zhao Yici's luggage to the hotel, and then go to the City God Temple for snacks. As a result, when I arrived at the hotel room, I got tired of it. It wasn't until 1 o'clock in the afternoon that the radiant Zhao Yici dragged Li Jingwei, who didn't want to go anywhere, out of the hotel.

The City God Temple is located in the famous Yu Garden Scenic Area in Puhai City, which was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and has gone through vicissitudes and has now become a crowded tourist attraction.

In the City God's Temple Food Street, there are a variety of classic snacks, including the special dim sum of the Green Wave Gallery, the vegetarian buns of Songyue Building, the eight treasure rice of Songyun Building, as well as Nanxiang Xiaolong, Ningbo Dumplings and Wine-stuffed Dumplings, etc., which are all delicious snacks that cannot be missed.

When Li Jingwei and the two arrived here, they happened to stagger the lunch rush, and although the time-honored brands were still in the market, they still successfully found a vacant seat in the Green Wave Corridor.

Zhao Yici looked at the tempting pictures of various dim sum dishes on the menu, his eyes lit up, and he ordered more than ten kinds of osmanthus pull cake, crab roe xiaolong, eyebrow crisp, crystal shrimp, crab roe tofu, squirrel osmanthus fish, eight treasure hot sauce, stir-fried shrimp, radish cake, crab roe choy sum, shrimp and black cucumber, sauce duck tongue and so on. When everything was ordered, a table was filled.

Ignoring the surprised glances of the other guests, the two of them began to eat with some disregard for their image.

It may be that the energy consumption in the hotel in the morning is too great, or the dim sum is too delicious, both of them have a great appetite and eat with relish.

Zhao Yici even showed amazing combat effectiveness, and after eating another osmanthus cake, he even had to have another one, which was stopped by Li Jingwei in time.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out after eating that Zhao Yici's face was flushed and she looked very excited.

She said, 'I'm dead,' while her eyes were fixed on another long-established dim sum shop, hesitating to go in. In the end, reason prevailed and he walked away with some reluctance.

The two then went to the Yu Garden, which is adjacent to the Old City God's Temple.

Yu Garden was built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, covering an area of only more than 30 acres, which is not large. But it is a typical classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

From Yousui Hall to Deyue Tower, and then from Jade Linglong to Tingtao Pavilion, along the way, the quaint architecture and exquisite layout have left a deep impression on Zhao Yici. But, just like many other couples, the tour itself is not important, the important thing is to be with the beloved. Zhao Yici's interest was very high, and he didn't feel tired after walking for a long time.

The shop rented by Long Liyun was originally also in the jewelry and jade business. However, due to the different business philosophy and the layout requirements of the store, Long Liyun has been redesigned, and the specific decoration work is underway.

When Cao Xiadan heard about this, he asked to take a look. At this moment, standing in the basically renovated store, Long Liyun is full of expectations for the future development.

"Liyun, the location of this store is good, the customer flow is very large, I believe that the business will be good after the opening. Cao Xiadan also felt that Long Liyun's store location was very good.

The next step is to promote and gradually establish your own brand. The "Beauty" jewelry brand, different from the time-honored jewelry silver building, focuses on the fashion route, hoping to gain brand recognition mainly among young white-collar workers. Long Liyun said.

Cao Xiadan nodded in agreement and said: "The time-honored jewelry silver building, after years of accumulation, does have its own advantages in terms of brand and reputation, especially among the older generation, the degree of recognition is very high. However, among the new Puhai people, represented by young white-collar workers, the pursuit of fashion is also very strong. ”

She paused, then continued: "As far as I know, some time-honored jewelry and silver buildings have also begun to change their business philosophy, emphasizing product innovation, such as the pursuit of new fashion in terms of style. Therefore, I think your positioning of the 'beauty' brand is still very accurate, and you can also achieve differentiated competition to a certain extent, making up for the lack of competition in the time-honored jewelry silver building. “

"I have already started to design the 'Luna' series of jade pendants and the 'Jewels' series of bracelets, etc., which are ready to be launched when we open, hoping to take the opportunity to open up the market. Long Liyun said: "There are many time-honored jewelry stores in the City God Temple, I have been to see them, each of them has its own competitive advantages, and it is not easy to survive and develop in such a fierce competitive environment." Let's go, I'll take you to these time-honored shops. ”

Coming out of Yu Garden, looking up and seeing a time-honored jewelry and silver building, Li Jingwei's heart moved, and he pulled Zhao Yici and walked in. The waiter in the store saw that the two were dressed well and looked like lovers, thinking that they were here to buy a wedding ring, so they directly recommended the diamond ring counter guided by the two to the two.

A diamond ring with national characteristics of "Qin Se and Ming" attracted Zhao Yici.

"This is the only one in the world that our store specially invited the top masters in China to make by hand, which is very commemorative. Moreover, in traditional Chinese culture, the combination of qin and seer is often used as a metaphor for harmony, which is a metaphor for the harmony and harmony between husband and wife. Sir, I think it's perfect for you to buy for your girlfriend. I also wish you two a hundred years of happiness and happiness. The waiter's tongue was like a lotus, and Zhao Yici was even more moved by what he said, and glanced at Li Jingwei with a blank look.

"Okay, I like this one too. Please help us wrap it up. Li Jingwei not only likes the style design of the diamond ring, but also likes its meaning very much, so he said immediately.

"Yes, sir, the price of this diamond ring is 211314 yuan, which means 'love you for a lifetime'. ”

Li Jingwei sighed in his heart, this store is really powerful, and even the price is set so creatively.

After swiping the card to pay, Zhao Yici hugged it beautifully in his hand. This is the first time Li Jingwei gave her a gift to represent her lover, and the meaning for her has far exceeded the value of the diamond ring itself, and it will also be her lifelong treasure.

At this time, Zhao Yici, like other girls who fell in love, was strategizing and resolute in the shopping mall in the past, but at this moment they were melted away by the strong affection.

"Sir, Miss, today is the 170th anniversary of our store, according to your consumption, you can smash a golden egg, maybe there is a big gift. "I am very happy that the service has completed this business.

"Okay!" Zhao Yici said happily. It is difficult for outsiders to imagine that this is the chairman of a listed company worth tens of billions of dollars.

The two came to a row of golden eggs, and when they saw Zhao Yici who was eager to try, Li Jingwei picked up the hammer and handed it to her, saying, "Come, smash it open and take a look." ”

Zhao Yici took the hammer and said to Li Jingwei with some hesitation: "Why don't you smash it, I'm afraid I'm bad luck today!"

"It's fine. You've always had better luck than me, smash it!"

With a "poof", the golden egg burst open, and a well-made ring box fell out.

Zhao Yici opened it and saw it, but it was empty. She said to Li Jingwei with some frustration: "Empty!"

Li Jingwei was about to comfort her a few words, but saw the waiter next to him shouting excitedly: "Hit, hit!"

At this time, a middle-aged lady who looked like a supervisor walked over, looked at the empty box in Zhao Yici's hand, and said, "The two of you are really lucky, you won the first prize of our store celebration." Because it is too valuable, I only put the box in the golden egg, and the real thing is stored separately. Please come with me. ”

The middle-aged lady guided the two of them back to the counter where the diamond ring had just been adjusted, took out a matchbox-sized satin bag from the safe below, took out a piece of flannel cloth from the cabinet and spread it on the glass display case, and then carefully brought out the contents of the satin bag. An exceptionally fine pair of rings that sparkle in the soft light.

At this time, the waiter's face turned red with excitement and said excitedly: "The two of you are really lucky." The designer of this pair of diamond rings is the designer of the "Qin Se and Ming" diamond ring that the two people bought before, and the design master designed these two diamond rings in total, both of which are owned by the two of them. ”

This pair of rings is called "Xiang Yi Mo", which is the name chosen by the designer to commemorate his wife who has accompanied him for life. The middle-aged lady added: "The two of them bought the "Qin Se and Ming" designed by the master, and hit the "Xiang Yi Mo" designed by him, which must be fate and destiny!

Looking at Zhao Yici at this moment, he was also very excited, with a pink face and peach blossoms, and glanced at Li Jingwei beside him affectionately from time to time. Li Jingwei picked up one of the rings and helped Zhao Yici gently carry it on the middle finger of her right hand - the famous flower has the master.

Zhao Yici brought the other one to the middle finger of Li Jingwei's left hand. At this time, the customers who watched around burst into applause.

It was destined to be a day that the two of them would never forget.

The applause attracted Cao Xiadan and Long Liyun, who walked to the door, and the two walked into the store and saw Li Jingwei and Zhao Yici, who were frequently thanking everyone.

Cao Xiadan subconsciously whispered: "Is it really her?"

Long Liyun didn't seem to hear it, and looked at Li Jingwei in the crowd a little blankly, standing dumbfounded.

Cao Xiadan gently pulled Long Liyun and shouted, "Liyun." But seeing that Long Liyun was still staring at the front blankly, there was no response. She screamed twice, and Long Liyun came back to her senses, a trace of unnaturalness flashed in her eyes.

The crowd dispersed. Li Jingwei also saw Cao Xiadan and the two, and was thinking about not going up to say hello, after all, the two sides were not too familiar. saw that Cao Xiadan had already taken the initiative to say, "Mr. Li, meet again." Who is this?"

"Miss Cao, hello! This is my girlfriend Zhao Yici. Hello Miss Long!"

"Miss Zhao is really lucky!" Cao Xiadan said with a smile, she already knew the truth of the matter from the conversations of the customers, so she said this.

"Thank you!" Zhao Yici responded politely. Although she heard Li Jingwei talk about the acquisition on the phone before, and she also knew about Cao's enterprise in Fujian, she didn't know Cao Xiadan.

Since they were not very familiar friends, Li Jingwei and Cao Xiadan only met for the second time, so the four of them left after a few polite words.

After a while, Cao Xiadan saw that Long Liyun was not in a high mood, and seemed to have been silent since he entered the store, so he asked, "Liyun, are you uncomfortable?"

"Oh... No. Long Liyun didn't seem to be in a state, and responded after a pause.

"Do you know that girl named Zhao Yici just now? If I'm not mistaken, she's the chairman of Jixun. Cao Xiadan continued.

"Is it the U.S.-listed Gexun?

"Hmm. But I didn't expect her to be Li Jingwei's girlfriend. This Zhao Yici is not simple, she is worth more than 10 billion US dollars, and her background is even more amazing. Cao Xiadan leaned over Long Liyun's ear and said, "It is said that she is the only daughter of Zhao Weimin." ”

When Long Liyun heard this, her heart was even more lost.

I think that the Long family was worried that the Li family was unwilling to dissolve the marriage contract, I am afraid that people didn't take the dissolution of the marriage contract seriously at all, because the Long family took themselves too seriously. But looking back, didn't he also approve of the dissolution of the marriage contract at the beginning? This Zhao Yici is worse than himself in terms of life experience, wealth and appearance?

"Xia Dan, can you accompany me for a drink?" Long Liyun smiled bitterly and said to Cao Xiadan.

For the first time since growing up, Long Liyun was drunk and unconscious. Cao Xiadan was worried that something would happen to her, so he compensated her for one night in the hotel.
