Chapter 1697 - Precious Gifts
In winter, the night Huashi is extraordinarily quiet and peaceful under the shroud of lights, which is in great contrast with the traffic during the day. Probably because of the cold weather in winter, after dark, most of the people living in the city shut themselves in their homes to keep warm.
Occasionally, a few hurried people in the street, most of them tightly wrapped in their warm coats, walked much faster than usual, as if there was a warm meal waiting for them to taste at their destination.
By the time Zhang Feng and the others drove out of the parking lot, there were basically no pedestrians on the road, and all that remained were cars that occasionally passed by at a speed on the road, and most of the people in the cars were heavy overtime workers in the city.
They may have just come out of a drinking party, with a slightly drunken body, sitting in the back with their eyes closed, resting, and letting the driver or substitute driver drive in front, regardless of whether they ran a red light or used the nearest road.
Some are drivers who deliver goods to corporate chains late at night, and only then are the roads unobstructed, and they will not delay the time for them to deliver fresh food from the terminus, although it is winter, but many foods need to be cold chain all the way.
And the time requirements of each store are different, so they are not sloppy at all, they are all lone wanderers who travel through the city at night, and they are also used to the cold and sparsely populated emptiness of the city in winter.
In order to make the road seem less boring, most people will put some music in the car, so that the atmosphere is more lively, and the warm air in the car blows out from the air outlet, which is obviously in two states with the cold outside.
Zhang Feng and their car kept maintaining a speed of sixty yards and drove towards He Xuan's house. At this time, it was close to the early hours of the morning, except for the traffic lights on the main trunk and branch routes, which were still working normally, the rest of the auxiliary roads were replaced with flashing yellow lights due to the sharp decrease in traffic volume and the pedestrian crossings were pedestrian bridges.
John Wang, who was sitting in the front, probably saw this kind of traffic light with rest for the first time, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Even the traffic light is off work, but we are still on the way home." He couldn't help but yawn as he spoke.
Last night, he hesitated and kept thinking about the two maps in Zhang Feng's study, but he didn't sleep all night, and he spent all night studying the structure of Zhang Feng's house, and wanted to sneak over to see what was going on, but unfortunately he still didn't have the courage after all.
After the overwork of this day, he couldn't bear it anymore. His body is naturally not comparable to Zhang Feng, he watched Zhang Feng work in the study all night, who knew that during the day, Zhang Feng couldn't even close his eyelids.
can still be so energetic now, as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, which makes John Wang not admire Zhang Feng. This kind of person is simply not a normal person, this is probably a fighter among human beings, a fighter among fighters.
However, Wang John could only put these words in his heart and thought silently for a while, and did not dare to say them. Although Zhang Feng has always been very friendly to him, and they all show that they are very friendly and close to him, John Wang, a social person who has grown up outside since he was a child, naturally knows what to say and what not to say.
He leaned on the co-pilot's seat groggily, he could still open his eyes and enjoy the scenery along the way, and the two people in his ears were talking about today's auction.
But helpless drowsiness finally overcame his will, his eyelids gradually drooped down, and the voice from behind him was also intermittent, as if it came and went, and the night scene in his eyes became more and more blurred, more and more hazy, as if it was soon blurred into an abstract painting.
Riding side by side with Zhang Feng and their car was a Passat business car, in which sat the owner of a small company, he was coming out of a business reception, and he didn't drink much alcohol today, but he also drank several glasses in order to please the guests.
Fortunately, he didn't need to drive himself, otherwise he wouldn't know how to drive the car back safely. The driver sitting in front of him was his brother-in-law. Originally, this job was hired by him as a driver, and he had been doing it for several years.
But his wife had to let him fire the driver and let her own brother come over to drive for her husband, firstly, because the younger brother was not young, but he had never had a formal job, and his parents urged him to keep saying that they were doing well in the big city now, and they didn't care about the poor relatives in the family.
Second, it is also because her husband always goes out to socialize, which is not day or night, and sometimes she often comes home in the middle of the night, she is always not at ease in her heart, how can this driver be reliable, of course, her brother is reliable. can also monitor his man by the way, lest he mess with flowers and grass outside, and he still doesn't know at home.
How could this boss not know his wife's intentions, although he was unhappy, but he could only follow his wife's wishes, and dismissed the old driver who had been with him for several years, and let his wife and brother replace him. He is busy outside all day long, where does he have the energy to fight wits with his wife at home.
What's more, his wife has been helping the family for so many years, and he has only turned a blind eye to these. In fact, he knew in his heart that his brother-in-law had always been a problem in the hearts of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and if he hadn't arranged it for him, it was estimated that he would have to help him for the rest of his life.
Instead of this, it is better to let him go to his side for another salary, so that he has his own job, and it will be difficult for the old man to say anything in the future. The wife will not be talked about by those relatives in her mother's house, so it is also a way to get the best of both worlds.
But since he changed his wife and brother to drive for himself, although this kid said that he didn't cause any big trouble for himself, he seemed to have no privacy at home, and this brother-in-law and his wife were on the same front all day long, staring at him 24 hours a day.
Now he seems to have a mobile monitor with him, and he has to report to his sister no matter what he eats or drinks. It's not easy to go home and it's not peaceful, and this kind of day has passed for more than half a year, even if he has good tolerance, there will be times when he feels uncomfortable.
Although he was a little dizzy from drinking at the moment, he had been pretending to rest with his eyes closed since he got into the car. In fact, he knew in his heart that he just didn't want to talk too much to his brother-in-law, so as not to make another small report after he went back.
Zhang Feng sat in the car and saw that He Xuan's spirit was also extremely good, this look was a typical night owl, he couldn't wake up during the day, he didn't want to sleep at night, and his two eyes were bigger than copper bells. Zhang Feng took out the information of the auction, he opened the lot that will be auctioned tomorrow and handed it to He Xuan and said: "You see if you have anything you need to buy tomorrow, I should prepare in advance, so as not to take your favor when the time comes." ”
He Xuan glanced at the things on it, he pouted and said: "Today, those valuable and marketable gadgets have been swept by you, I photographed the sacred tree, where do you have any extra thoughts to think about other things, forget it." ”
Although He Xuan said this in his mouth, his eyes kept looking at the leaflet in Zhang Feng's hand, in fact, Zhang Feng already knew in his heart that He Xuan had always had a hobby of collecting the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Feng had seen two in his house before.
It was precisely because he saw that Xuande furnace that he deliberately asked He Xuan, he was worried that he would be accidentally taken away by his subordinates. Although it is said that the money is made up by everyone, and some of it is made up by him personally, but when it comes to the hands of Daguanyuan, it is not this price.
This time, He Xuan has been busy with the auction, and he also gave them a loud alarm bell at the best time, and he Zhang Feng naturally can't forget this kindness. So Zhang Feng deliberately handed the leaflet to He Xuan, just to see if He Xuan was interested in this furnace.
Although he said don't want to, but his eyes couldn't be moved smoothly, Zhang Feng naturally knew the little calculation in He Xuan's heart. As his good friend, Zhang Feng certainly understood what to do.
If this matter were changed, someone else might have taken a picture of it directly and sent it to He Xuan at that time, but it was Zhang Feng, a person who did not play cards according to common sense. He has always done things straightforwardly, especially to his closest and best friends, what surprises and surprises, these are meaningless at all.
He felt that those were all gimmicks, and there was no practical place at all, and if he really wanted to give them to He Xuan, he would justifiably say them. Instead of taking pictures of them yourself and giving them to He Xuan at that time, that would seem a little too hypocritical and deliberate.
Zhang Feng shook the propaganda page twice and said: "You should be able to see this Xuande furnace, I will take a picture of it and give it to you tomorrow, as a thank you for the guys in the Grand View Garden." This time, we will die in the Grand View Garden, and it is thanks to you that we can fight back in the Jedi, otherwise we will be like frogs at the bottom of the well, sitting in our respective shops and waiting to die. ”
Zhang Feng is right, He Xuan did help a lot in the matter of the Grand View Garden this time, but Zhang Feng gave such a valuable gift at every turn, although he said that he thanked him He Xuan for the people of the Grand View Garden, but this money was paid by him Zhang Feng alone, and he probably just wanted He Xuan to accept it in his heart.
He Xuan glanced at Zhang Feng, he knew that Zhang Feng had always been one, and he would never make some rhetoric or write blank checks to others. But he couldn't accept such a gift calmly, if Zhang Feng usually gave him a stove, he felt that there was no problem at all.
But it happened to be today, it was this time, it was when he was helping Daguanyuan, if Zhang Feng bought this stove and gave it to him, He Xuan felt that he was really sorry for Zhang Feng, and he felt that it was not worth it.
Zhang Feng looked at He Xuan as if he was not very happy and reluctant, he was naturally a little puzzled in his heart, he knew that He Xuan liked this kind of thing, but He Xuan didn't show too much surprise, could it be that he already had this one?
But this kind of thing doesn't seem to come in pairs, does it? Although Zhang Feng doesn't play with the stove, he knows more or less about this way.
This Ming Xuande furnace is now hard to find, not a matter of money or not at all, but the number is really small, most of them are in the hands of some private collectors, and people will not take it out for auction at all. The Xuande furnace that came out this time was still an illiterate foreigner who accidentally fell into the market.
