Although I knew that the price of jadeite would soar overnight, I couldn't help but feel a little excited when I heard the news.

I touched the glittering water drop pendant around my neck, I smiled on my face, buried it back in the collar of my clothes, looked at my watch, walked to the courtyard, and pushed open the door of my parents' north house. It was nearly eight o'clock, and it was time for breakfast. Maybe I was too tired from work yesterday, and my parents, who were off on Saturday, hadn't gotten up yet, and were asleep. I was hesitating and calling them, but Mom chirped and rolled over and woke up.

“…… Whew, this sleep, net dreaming, well, what time is it? ”

"Eight o'clock."

"So late?" Mom turned around and picked up the sleeping father: "Wake up, I won't cook today, and I will eat at the door early." ”

While they were brushing their teeth, washing their faces and getting dressed, I would go to the living room and sit down on the sofa, turn on the TV with the remote control, and look for news about jadeite. The statement on TV is basically the same as what Jiang Yan told me, the price of jadeite skyrocketed overnight, and the industry insiders who predicted that there was still room for decline were shocked, plus the plunge in the market a few days ago, everyone basically affirmed that this was a long-planned speculation, and the entire industry was also chaotic, no longer as calm as before. Jadeite has not risen in price, once a few years ago in just a few months, the price of jadeite almost doubled, that is also the largest increase in recent years, but this time is different, a night, just a night, the fluctuation is too great, the result suddenly disrupted the market, made a little panicked.

It is said that if this momentum continues, the rise of jadeite will definitely be fine, but think about it from another angle, since it can skyrocket overnight, will it also plummet overnight?

Opinions are gradually divided, and this unrest has also made the pricing of jadeite in the market more delicate.

The same glutinous bracelet with good condition, Caishikou Department Store sells for 70,000 yuan, Parkson Mall sells for 80,000 yuan, and Xinjiekou Jade Store sells for 60,000 yuan, the price difference is jaw-dropping.

In short, the jadeite market can only be described in one sentence now - chaotic.

However, these have nothing to do with me, only I know that jadeite will rise, not just the current price.

"See?" Dad's voice sounded behind him, and he sat next to me with his shirt buttoned: "In the collection circle, there are too many things that have skyrocketed and plummeted, maybe a good thing bought at the auction the day before will cut off half of the price in a few days, well, so I won't let you touch the antique, it's too risky." ”

My mother glanced at the TV screen: "If I had known about the price increase, I should have bought a necklace too, and I could still make some money." ”

Dad said angrily: "What do you buy it?" The price of people is medium and high-end jade, can you afford it? ”

"Why don't I like to listen to you so much!" Mom glared at him with eyeballs: "I just said casually that I can't do it?" Can't you? You can handle it! ”

When they had finished arguing, I followed them and pushed the door out of the house, intending to go to the west side for breakfast.

"Eh, Aunt Zou, are you awake?"

In the courtyard, Grandma Zou, who was holding an aluminum pot, happened to come out of the East House, and when she saw us, she raised the pot in her hand: "I woke up early, Yue'e is too lazy to change, let me buy her some tofu brains and come back, hehe, what are you?" ”

"Oh, we're up late, and we're about to have breakfast." Mom said: "Hehe, speaking of which, I haven't seen Yue'e for two days, and I'm not there during the day or at night, or you call her, let's go together?" "Don't talk about my mother, I haven't seen Aunt Zou for two days, I don't know what I'm busy with.

"Okay, I'll ask." Grandma Zou didn't go back to the house, she stood in the courtyard and pulled her neck and shouted: "Yue'e, Xiao Cui asked us to eat breakfast with her, are you coming?" ”

A few seconds later, Zou Yue'e's drunken voice floated from the room: "Okay, wait for me for two minutes, change clothes." ”

My mom pouted to Nunu to the east: "Drinking again?" ”

Grandma Zou sighed nonchalantly: "Isn't it, sooner or later you will drink to death!" ”

"Gotta persuade her." Dad frowned: "There is more wine that can kill people." ”

"Alas, this dead girl, she doesn't listen to anyone, what do you think you can do?"

Grandma Zou went back to the house to put the pot, and when she came out, Zou Yue'e also followed her. Aunt Zou wore a relatively capable OL professional outfit, with coiled hair, white shirt, gray slim skirt, meat stockings, and black high heels. When I saw her come out of the house, I pretended to greet her and said, "Aunt Zou is good." ”

Zou Yue'e pulled her forehead bangs and nodded with a smile: "How are you, how are you doing with your homework?" ”

I said, "It's okay." ”

Mom smiled: "He, he's playing with the computer every day, how can he still review his homework, Yue'e, it's you, what are you doing these days?" ”

Zou Yue'e walked to the gate of the courtyard and held my mother's hand affectionately, "Looking for a job, I submitted a lot of resumes in two days, and I went to interviews every day, and I didn't have time to rest." ”

The old mother sighed and said strangely: "Didn't you say last time that you would rest first, and then talk about work after you found a partner?" ”

Grandma Zou snorted coldly: "Who knows what she thinks, she suddenly changed her mind and has to go to work!" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled: "If I don't go to work, who will pay your daughter's salary?" Why don't we sleep on the road? ”

"Yo." My mom touched her hand with concern: "Do you have no money there?" Don't be afraid, sister is still rich here......"

Zou Yue'e hurriedly waved her hand and smiled bitterly: "Sister Cui, thank you, I was joking just now, hehe, I have money, but I am too idle to stay at home, I want to find a class quickly, not to mention how much salary I earn, at least I can enrich a little." ”

Mom sighed: "If you have difficulties, tell your sister, you're welcome, by the way, have you found a suitable job?" ”

Zou Yue'e shrugged helplessly, and stepped on the asphalt briskly with her high heels: "Not yet, either they don't look down on me, or I don't look down on them, hehe, my requirements are really not high, it doesn't matter if you take a single day off or two days off, at least the working environment is good, but I walked a few places, and it was smoky, far worse than our tea city." ”

While talking, we have arrived at the place where we bought breakfast, the iron pot of fried fritters is steaming, flies and mosquitoes are everywhere, and the environment is really poor, but most of the roadside stalls in Yanjing are like this, and we are used to it. I found a table and sat down, pulled off a few pairs of chopsticks on the table that had been used once, and I asked for two fritters to eat, without speaking, listening to them.

My father and mother asked for soy milk, drank two sips, and my mother said: "It's easy to find a job, but it's hard to find a good job, listen to the eldest sister, don't be too picky, but you are good at dealing with people, you can speak well, and your work ability is also strong, you shouldn't worry, and then look for it, don't worry." ”

Zou Yue'e took a sip of tofu brain with a plastic spoon and nodded: "Well, take a day off today, I'm too tired, I'll look for it tomorrow." ”

At this time, I blinked and interjected: "Aunt Zou, I have a classmate whose father is in the jade business, or can I help you ask?" ”

Mom said strangely: "Who? ”

I said, "Jiang Yan, I came back to our house last time." ”

Zou Yue'e looked at me and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Then thank you?" ”

"You're welcome, you should." I touched her heels under the table on my tiptoes.

Zou Yue'e ignored me and didn't look at me, just lowered her head and ate tofu brain.

After dinner, I didn't go back to the courtyard with them, but said that I was going to ask Aunt Zou for work, and asked her to come over under the pretext. Before leaving, Grandma Zou stopped us from behind and instructed: "Always go to your house to eat, make me and Yue'e embarrassed, eat with our family at noon, remember to come back early." ”

After saying hello, we turned our heads and walked towards the mouth of the alley.

When I left the large area of the courtyard, I didn't rush to take her hand, but just approached Aunt Zou a little closer, and asked her: "I'll call Jiang Yan first to ask about the situation, if his father says okay, let's go over?" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled and nodded slightly: "You have the final say, you don't need to ask Aunt Zou." ”

I found a shade to stand with Aunt Zou, and I picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Yan.

“…… Feed? Mirror? What's the matter? ”

"Oh, that's right, I have a neighbor ......" I probably told her about Aunt Zou's situation, and then said, "Do you see that there is a shortage of people in your father's store?" ”

"Wait, I'll ask him." After a minute or so, "Uh, I'm sorry, there's no shortage of people in the store for the time being, so I'll go and ask you a few next to them." Jiang Yan's voice looked a little embarrassed.

I immediately said, "No, no, forget it, thank you." ”

Hanging up the phone, I turned around and touched my nose, and suddenly felt very shameless.

Zou Yue'e sneered, her eyes narrowed into a very charming line: "What kind of expression do you have?" If you don't make it, you can't do it, if you have something, let's go, go back. ”

I insisted: "It's coming out anyway, so you can follow me to a Liulichang shop, okay?" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled and took the lead in dragging her plump body forward.

We went to Yurou Pavilion in Xiliuli Factory, Boss Pei and Teacher Zhen have dealt with me many times, they are not bad, I want to ask them. As soon as she arrived at the door, Zou Yue'e was stunned, saying that this is not a place that brought me a long time ago, and that time we were selling Ming and Qing jade cards. I said it was a change of boss and walked in with her.

Boss Pei and Teacher Zhen were both in the store, and the two were chatting while drinking tea.

I said hello to them and said, "This is my neighbor, Zou Yue'e." ”

"Hello, good luck." After Boss Pei shook hands with her, he looked at me: "What kind of good things did you bring today?" ”

I snorted: "I haven't gained anything lately, what, that's the case, actually, well, my Aunt Zou wants to find a job, do you see that there is a shortage of people here?" "I didn't have much hope, so I just said it straight, but after saying that, I felt a little too direct, and I looked a little stunned.

Boss Pei suddenly sighed, smiled, looked at Aunt Zou and said, "You used to be?" ”

On the face of it, Zou Yue'e should be two or three years older than her, and she hooked the corners of her mouth: "Engaged in sales." ”

I added a sentence for her: "Manager of the sales department of Maliandao Tea City." "How majestic does that sound?

Next, Boss Pei and Aunt Zou went to the back tea table to sit and chat, and they didn't say whether there was a shortage of people in the end, just gossiping around the world. I don't know if it's my delusion, I found that Boss Pei seemed to like Aunt Zou very much, and his eyes were always aimed at her, breasts, buttocks, and legs, which made me mumble in my heart for a while.

Finally, after listening to their conversation, I understood a little.

"Sister Zou, you have a great figure, and you don't have to say anything about your eloquence, you are much better than me." Boss Pei said: "That's the case, this antique shop was opened on a whim, my roots are still in the beauty industry, well, if you really think my antique shop is good, just do it for two days, and when I stabilize the beauty shop in Siping, I am ready to open another branch with Yanjing, when the time comes, I want to ask you to come over to help, what do you think?" ”

So that's the case, Pei Yurou took a fancy to Zou Yue's interpersonal relationship, Aunt Zou knew a lot of customers when she was in sales, if Boss Pei opened a beauty salon in Yanjing, where she was unfamiliar with her life, I am afraid that these are what she needs most, not to mention, there are few women in the whole capital who are more beautiful than Aunt Zou, with a face, a figure, a means, shrewd and sleek, think about it, she is probably very suitable for this industry, right?

Zou Yue'e nodded when she heard this, and smiled: "Let me think about it, okay?" ”

"Of course, if you can come, you can also share Uncle Zhen's work, these days, it's tiring him."

Teacher Zhen joked: "Yes, I haven't been paid overtime yet." ”

Boss Pei glanced at him: "Don't listen to Uncle Zhen's nonsense, I never owe my salary." ”

It is easier for women to get along with each other than men, and Boss Pei and Aunt Zou seemed to be familiar at first sight and chatted happily.

After I asked Mr. Zhen a few ways to identify antiques, I heard Aunt Zou say that it was time to go back to dinner, so I got up and said goodbye to them.

Walk on the street of the West Liuli Factory.

I turned to her and asked, "Decided?" Want to delay a few days before replying to her? Don't make people think you're cheap? ”

"Hehe, you're clever." Zou Yue'e didn't answer me directly, but said with a smile: "I think when I first came to Yanjing, I really didn't have any other thoughts in my heart, I just wanted to eat a mouthful, so over the years, except for drinking, your Aunt Zou has no great interest in other things, just messing around, sometimes, in the dead of night, I often think, 'When is this a head', the more I think about it, the more I drink, hehe, in fact, Boss Pei's words just now reminded me of a lot of things, a lot of childhood things." ”

I knew that Aunt Zou had been very lonely, so I didn't interject and listened quietly.

Zou Yue'e blinked and said, "Seven years old? Eight years old? Nine years old? I also forgot, anyway, when I was a child, I especially wanted to have my own beauty salon, usually greet customers, and give myself beauty when I rested, hehe, I thought stupidly at that time, such a little child, how happy it is. ”

Looking at her eyes, I suddenly felt that Aunt Zou had changed a little after coming out of Yurou Pavilion, and her scattered eyes seemed to have condensed a lot, no loneliness, no sense of alcohol, and gradually showed a rare look.

"Jing ......" Zou Yue'e said with a smile: "I want to open a beauty shop, and I have never thought about it like now." ”

My eyes moved, "Okay, I'll give it to you!" ”
