Chapter 89: Necklace
The second time they went to Las Vegas, Zhang Chen and Su Zhuorui were like thieves, after all, it was a huge bonus of more than one million US dollars, and if they were targeted by someone, it was really possible that there would be no bones.
Su Zhuorui and Zhang Chen discussed it, and they both thought that they should choose not to accept the award publicly. Su Zhuorui also bought an Arab woman-like burqa, planning to wrap it tightly to redeem the prize. After Zhang Chen saw it, he rolled happily on the bed, and said Isn't it more noticeable that you are like this?
In the end, Su Zhuorui only brought a hat and sunglasses, and still wore a T-shirt and shorts to claim the prize.
The staff at the prize center applauded the million-dollar jackpot winners. After Su Zhuorui received the transfer check, she hurriedly ran to the bank in the hotel and deposited the transfer check into her account.
The two had already bought a return ticket in advance, and Su Zhuorui didn't have the heart to play in Las Vegas for a few more days. The two of them rushed to the airport as if fleeing for their lives, and came on a day trip.
Fortunately, before Zhang Chen set off from China, he found a notary office to notarize the guardian power of attorney, and entrusted Su Zhuorui in the United States to be his guardian during his trip to the United States. Su Zhuorui used the identity of guardian to cooperate with Zhang Chen to open a personal account with Citibank, and then transferred $810,000 to Zhang Chen's account.
Su Zhuorui made two more trips to the IRS, although the bonus is after tax, but the tax declaration work still has to be completed by individuals. In addition, Su Zhuorui used her own "gift amount" and donated the $810,000 to Zhang Chen in the form of a gift, avoiding 35% of the gift tax.
So far, the US dollars in Zhang Chen's account have been completely laundered, and this money is now equivalent to RMB 7 million.
Zhang Chen, who has $850,000 in his hand, can't wait to hear the news from Tel Aviv.
Su Zhuorui got 200,000 US dollars, and after getting the money, Su Zhuohui was unexpectedly not so excited, but entered a calm period, neither shopping, buying a house, nor buying a car, nor sending money home, and even did not participate in the various parties he usually liked, and cultivated himself at home every day.
Zhang Chen looked strange, and couldn't help but ask Su Zhuorui: "Sister Su, what's wrong with you? ”
Su Zhuorui slumped on the sofa and said lazily: "I'm thinking about life." ”
Zhang Chenqi said: "Thinking about life?"
Su Zhuorui tilted her head: "Eh, you say this person, when I didn't have money, I thought about being rich, but now that I have money, I think that money is useless." ”
Zhang Chen sneered: "Do you think that there is no meaning in life all of a sudden?
Su Zhuorui pondered for a moment: "Well, it seems to be a little." “
Zhang Chen said seriously: "You are a typical upstart syndrome, it is estimated that you were too excited when you won the lottery, which led to endocrine disorders." “
Su Zhuorui said lazily: "you." “
Zhang Chen scared Su Zhuorui: "Really, don't take it seriously, if you can't adjust it, you may get depression." “
Su Zhuorui's face changed slightly: "Huh? What should I do then?"
Zhang Chen thought for a while: "This is easy to do, come, follow me." As he spoke, he pulled Su Zhuorui up from the sofa and pushed him into the bedroom, so that Su Zhuorui could quickly change his clothes and go out with him.
Su Zhuorui reluctantly changed her clothes, combed her hair, and Zhang Chen frowned, "Sister Su, you haven't washed your hair for two or three days, right?"
Su Zhuorui glanced at Zhang Chen: "Do you want to go out or not?" If you go out, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, if you don't leave, the old lady will rest at home." “
Zhang Chen said: "Okay, let's go." “
Zhang Chen asked Su Zhuorui to get in the car and drove to Union Square.
When he arrived at Union Square, Zhang Chen pulled Su Zhuorui out of the car and swaggered into the Nieman Marcus boutique next to Macy's.
Niemann Marcus is one of San Francisco's most luxurious shopping malls, with a magnificent interior and large glass moldings. In addition, there is a skylight on the roof, and the pattern of the ancient city of Paris is inlaid with stained glass, which is one of the most famous sights in San Francisco.
Zhang Chen pulled Su Zhuorui into Tiffany's counter, pointed to a necklace in the display cabinet and said to the salesperson, "Take out this necklace and we'll take a look." “
Although the salesperson doubted whether the two Asians could afford it, out of professionalism, he still politely took the necklace out of the counter wearing gloves and introduced in a reserved tone: "This necklace uses 72 South African diamonds, each of which has a color of E or above, the largest diamond in the middle is 1.1 carats, and the total weight of the whole diamond is more than 9 carats." The work of Paloma Picasso, a couture piece of Tiffany's couture piece, this necklace sold for $98,000. Finally, the salesperson vaguely reminded the two Asian children in front of him that this necklace is very expensive!
Zhang Chen said: "Let's try this necklace." The salesman wanted to refuse, but when he heard Zhang Chen's unquestioning tone, he had no choice but to carry the necklace and put it on Su Zhuoyuan's neck.
Su Zhuoyuan's eyes lit up when she saw the necklace. What woman would not be tempted to see such a beautiful necklace? Ever since the discovery of diamonds, an evil single carbon crystal, most women have gone crazy.
Mathilde, the heroine of Maupassant's 19th-century novel The Necklace, borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend for a ball. Unexpectedly, after the ball, the necklace was lost. In order to return his friend's necklace, Mathilde had to borrow money to buy a new one to return to his friend. After that, he cut back on food and clothing, worked hard, and spent ten years paying off his debts. When all the money was repaid, she mentioned it with her friend who had borrowed her necklace before, only to know that what she had borrowed was a fake necklace.
Su Zhuorui put on this necklace worth 100,000 US dollars, looked in the mirror, and her face was flushed with excitement.
Zhang Chen asked Su Zhuorui softly, "The necklace is very beautiful, isn't it very suitable for you?" You see, your neck is so slender, your pores are fine, and your complexion is healthy, is it different to wear such a necklace?"
Su Zhuorui asked Zhang Chen excitedly, "Do you want to buy it and give it to me?"
Zhang Chen shook his head solemnly: "No, I'm just reminding you that you can't afford it." “
Su Zhuorui glared angrily at Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen pretended not to see, and said to the waiter: "Okay, we tried, you can take the necklace back." “
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, although this necklace was not the most expensive in the store, he couldn't afford to pay for it if something went wrong. So he hurriedly took off the necklace from Su Zhuoyuan's neck carefully, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of contempt.
Zhang Chen ignored him at all, and said to Su Zhuoyuan: "Are you motivated now?"
Su Zhuorui took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "There is motivation, there is motivation to kill you." “
