Chapter 169: What a Cheap Gift
Rao is plane is very fast, but from Beijing to stop for a while, will be a gift to Director Liu, and then take the train back to the provincial capital, and then from the provincial capital back to the county home, because of the time difference between China and the United States, China is now already in the afternoon, from time to time on the road to see the bicycle torrent rushing to get off work, the mighty bicycle torrent as a major feature of China, is very attractive to Alice's attention.
The car was a group of people who called the company when they arrived in Beijing, and looking at the large pile of luggage, Zhang Lan very consciously asked the company to send three cars - two off-road vehicles for luggage, and one sedan for sitting people. Even so, the rest of the space in the two SUVs was filled except for the driver's seat, and even the trunk of the sedan did not escape the fate of being stuffed.
How on earth did we move from the United States to China with so many things? Zhang Lan still feels very puzzled. Well, if it weren't for Xiao Chenxi and Alice's beautiful faces, if Zhang Lan had just been allowed to settle it by herself, probably these things would still be staying at the airport in the United States, right?
"Actually, it's not bad to ride a bicycle," Zhang Lan sat in the car with a smile, talking nonsense about the benefits of cycling to Xiao Chenxi and Alice, "This thing has no noise, no pollution, no emissions, infinite foot movement and speed change, you can be as fast as you want, you can be full and slow as you want, and at the same time, you can also breathe the freshest air in nature, and most importantly, you can also exercise by cycling," he said and looked at the crowd outside the window, directly ignoring the envious gaze of the crowd outside the car when they looked at him, "You two don't take the car often, Exercise on a bike as well. β
"It doesn't matter if we exercise or not," Alice glanced at Zhang Lan with disdain, "But some people, but they shout every day that they want to exercise, why don't you see some people riding bicycles?" β
"Of course it's very simple," Zhang Lan always seems to find a reason, "riding a motorcycle exercises the quick reaction ability of the nerves and the coordination ability of the body. So for me it's more appropriate to ride a motorcycle, and even after the stage where I need to ride a bike, I've moved up to a more advanced level. β
Time flew by in the bickering between Zhang Lan and Alice, and it seemed to be just a blink of an eye. The car had already arrived at the gate of the county seat, and when they heard the sound of the car outside the door, Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi, who had been waiting at home for a long time, hurriedly greeted them, both of them knew that Alice also came with them this time, and several people still carried a lot of luggage.
Even Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi were mentally prepared. But the large pile of luggage unloaded from the car in front of them still startled the two of them.
"Actually, we don't have much stuff," Alice was a little embarrassed, "the main thing is that the gifts for everyone take up a little space." β
Can this still be called a little space? Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi glanced at each other, speechless for a while: so many things are gifts brought back, how many things can be obtained!
The two children and Alice were tired all the way, so naturally they couldn't let them cook anymore, although what they made was really delicious, Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi still decisively stopped Xiao Chenxi from walking towards the kitchen - her daughter was tired for so long, how could she let her cook again? -- I went directly to the hotel and booked a table of banquets, which was regarded as a reception banquet for everyone -- although the skills of the two were not bad. But I'm really embarrassed to take it out and show it ugly.
Fortunately, the chef of this hotel is still quite good, although the dishes on the table are worse than those made by Xiao Chenxi, but the taste is still good, and it is worthy of praise.
"This is for us?" After dinner, Alice impatiently took out the gifts prepared for Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi, and presented them to the two of them. Seeing these exquisite jewelry, Yang Zhi asked with some hesitation, "These require a lot of money, right?" β
"You don't have to worry about money, eldest sister," Alice has been calling Yang Zhi eldest sister, "This is a gift from my sister to my sister." You must take it! If you reject me, how faceless will I be a sister? β
"But it's so precious, I really can't take it." Yang Zhi is not stupid, although he has not bought any jewelry for so many years, he has seen a lot. Eyesight is always there, these exquisite jewelry are all made of platinum, exquisite shape shows the designer's unique concept, noble and elegant temperament is completely different from the vulgar gold jewelry that is now crazy popular in China, elegant platinum jewelry is suitable for subtle and elegant Oriental women to wear jewelry.
Despite this, Yang Zhi still adheres to the principle of being a human being: it is okay to receive gifts. But you must collect it appropriately, and you can't accept anything that exceeds your own principles, no matter how good it is.
"But," Alice said, "I've already bought these, how can I return them?" I found someone to buy these for your age, and I don't wear them properly, right? β
This is a problem, Yang Zhi is a little hesitant, he really likes these exquisite jewelry in front of him, what should he do? After thinking about it for a while, I finally came up with a solution, "That's it, I'll keep these jewelry, how much money it cost to buy these jewelry, I'll give you the money." β
"Sister, aren't you scolding me," Alice cried and laughed, and was almost about to say that if your son found out, wouldn't he blame me to death? Fortunately, his head finally turned relatively fast, and this sentence was finally not spoken, "How can my sister give her sister jewelry and ask her sister for money?" β
"Then I don't care," Yang Zhi began to play tricks, "or you will accept the money, or you will take these jewelry away." β
"Then let's do it," the two of them were entangled for a long time and still had no result, Alice finally ran out of tricks and raised her hand to surrender, "Can I collect money for these things?" β
As long as you agree with me to collect money, I don't have the final say on how much I charge? Alice is very proud that she can come up with such a response in time, and it is a big deal that I will give the money to your son when the time comes.
"It's pretty much the same," finally heard Alice say this, Yang Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, she also likes these jewelry tightly, if she just gives up, it's a pity, "How much does it cost?" β
"10,000 US dollars, converted into RMB, you can give me 80,000 yuan according to the official price," Alice smiled playfully, "I erased the change, my sister won't mind the change with me anymore, right?" In fact, this price is only a fraction of these jewelry, and what Alice really erased is the figure in front of 10,000 US dollars.
"Is there really only so little?" Yang Zhi was a little skeptical.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask a friend to go to the United States and ask." Alice lied and didn't change her face, "These things are a little cheaper in the United States." β
"Oh," Yang Zhi nodded, although there were still doubts in his heart, but he had already accepted Alice's statement in his heart, it was indeed Alice who erased the change, and there was no need to worry about this little thing between the two, "Okay, I'll give you the money tomorrow." β
"I'm not in a hurry," Alice smiled sweetly, "I'm not in a hurry to use it, I can give it to me whenever I want." β
"These are the clothes that Sister Dawn picked out for Brother Zhang," Alice pointed to the several sets of men's clothes on the bed, "Won't these give me money too?" β
Call Xiao Chenxi sister, Zhang Zongjun big brother, Yang Zhi sister, Xiao Chenxi is the daughter of Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi, and the relationship between Alice and Zhang Lan's family is really messy enough.
"This is my daughter's pick?" Yang Zhi stood up with a smile, "How about I look at our girl's eyes?" As he spoke, he picked up a suit on the bed, looked at it carefully over and over again, felt the feel, and nodded, "It's very good, the texture is very good, the material is very soft and comfortable to the touch, it looks like the workmanship is also very good, the stitches are very fine, very good, this suit is not cheap, right?" β
It's not cheap, it's ...... Alice wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold backβif she wanted to laugh but couldn't, and had to hold back, it was a very painful thingβand the clothes were made to order from the oldest tailor shop on Fifth Avenue in New York, and this set of clothes alone was enough to fit a very nice car.
Of course, these Alice would not tell Yang Zhi, so she could only hold back her laughter desperately and nodded very seriously, "Well, indeed, it's not very cheap." β
I know that it is not cheap, Yang Zhi, who is used to living a hard life, is a little dissatisfied with Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi's lavish spending, why is it that every time my daughter buys things that are dead expensive, don't the two children know that it is not easy for adults to make money? Well, although they themselves own a lot of shares in the company, and they are not short of money, they can't spend money like this, right?
"How?" In Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi's bedroom, Zhang Zongjun asked, "Are you having fun in the United States?" β
"Happy," Zhang Lan nodded, "There are fun places to go every day, how can you not be happy?" "There is still a sentence that I haven't said, how can I not be happy when I look at it and ask for a large amount of dollars to get into my own bag?
"Just have fun," Zhang Zongjun nodded, "I'm afraid that the two of you who don't know each other well will not have fun there," suddenly remembered something, "By the way, your godmother came to you a few days ago, it seems that you and their county government have set up a wholesale market?" β
"Well," Zhang Lan nodded, "it's a comprehensive stone wholesale market that mainly does marble and granite, which are architectural and decorative stones. β
This kid! Zhang Zongjun held his head in pain, can't you be a little more stable? If you don't pay attention, you will come up with something that you don't know.
