Chapter 13: The Reception
Xie Bin didn't know whether Li Xiaojun was intentional or unintentional, so he could only ask, to see who was there, if they were all strangers, Xie Bin didn't plan to go.
"It's all acquaintances, Xue Yuying is also here, come quickly, there is a Changle Villa on the side of Binhai Avenue, it's decent to clean up," Li Xiaojun explained, and specially instructed.
Xie Bin was speechless, what to clean up this big summer? Is it difficult to wear a suit and tie? However, Xie Bin still deliberately got a haircut, not to mention, the craftsmanship of this higher-grade barber shop is good, although the fee is more expensive, but it feels really good. It is said that in the past, Xie Bin used to get a haircut in those roadside shops every time, and the fee did not exceed ten yuan. And in this big shop, a simple haircut costs fifty.
Looking in the mirror, it felt very good, Xie Bin took a taxi and went straight to Changle Villa.
Changle Villa is a relatively well-known resort in the island city, which is next to a reservoir and backed by Zhushan, which is the first choice for many wealthy people to spend their leisure and vacation. Of course, the consumption there is not affordable for ordinary people.
However, when Xie Bin arrived at the villa, he regretted it a little, because there was a banner hanging at the gate of the villa, "Xingyu Jewelry Opening Ninth Anniversary Celebration Party", everyone who came and went was wearing very formal, women's uniform evening dresses, and men's least particular shoes were also wearing leather shoes. Xie Bin looked at himself again, T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, how to see how it doesn't match.
Xie Bin was thinking about whether he slipped away quietly, anyway, there would be nothing to do with such a big party, who knew that when he looked up, he saw Xue Yuying.
Xue Yuying was wearing a white bandeau dress, and she was walking in with a middle-aged man in her fifties. Seeing Xie Bin, Xue Yuying beckoned from afar, "Hi, Xie Bin." Xue Yuying's behavior made everyone's eyes focus on Xie Bin at once, and even the middle-aged people around her looked at Xie Bin curiously.
Xie Bin smiled bitterly, walked over and nodded with a smile at the middle-aged man, and said hello to Xue Yuying, "Hello Miss Xue." ”
Xue Yuying frowned, "Why are you calling it so awkward?" ”
Xie Bin pointed to the neatly dressed men and women around him and smiled bitterly: "Of course, I have to use a formal title for such a formal occasion, although I don't dress very formally." ”
"yes, why don't you dress formally?" Xue Yuying glared and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Li Xiaojun will say that you will lose face to him?" ”
"He didn't tell me that the party he was going to attend was of this nature, he just said that you were there, and I thought it was just a few friends having fun together," Xie Bin said with a sad face.
"That's what he said?" Xue Yuying frowned and snorted coldly, "Let's go, I'll help you find a suit." ”
Xie Bin hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget it, if it's a big deal, I won't go in, and I don't have anything to do anyway." Xie Bin looked at the crowd around him, and he really had a retreat in his heart. Xie Bin is not afraid of people, nor is he afraid of gags, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of party. Besides, there are not only many young people, but also many middle-aged people and even old men, how can he adapt? If he made himself a clown, Xie Bin's face would be embarrassed.
"Brother Xie, how can you leave, you are also half the protagonist today," Li Xiaojun laughed and walked over, followed by Zhang Lu, and a girl turned out to be Chen Minhan, and several young men and women also surrounded him, and the stars hugged Li Xiaojun around him.
Xie Bin was stunned and asked, "How come?" It's the anniversary of your jewelry store, it's nothing to do with me, right? ”
"Hahaha," Li Xiaojun laughed, and even leaned forward and backwards. Xie Bin felt uncomfortable for a while, what was so exaggerated about him to laugh at? Is your own question funny? Finally, after Li Xiaojun laughed loudly, he pointed at Xie Bin and said to the men and women beside him: "The piece of excellent material I opened a few days ago was selected with the help of Brother Xie, and Brother Xie's eyesight is really nothing to say." ”
Xie Bin was speechless, when did he help him pick up the material? Didn't he pick the material from ice to glass? Look at Li Xiaojun again, and give him a vague look. Xie Bin suddenly felt in his heart, it turned out that Li Xiaojun wanted to gather some halo for himself.
Li Xiaojun is the only heir of Xingyu Jewelry, and he will definitely be in charge of Xingyu Jewelry in the future. Now that he has got a piece of good material, Li Xiaojun wants to take the opportunity to take this credit to himself, so as to pave the way for his future development. Indeed, there is a young shopkeeper with a good eye, and the encouragement to employees is very great, especially the jadeite of Li Xiaojun's family is processed by himself.
Xie Bin wanted to understand this, and he didn't care about Li Xiaojun's small methods, anyway, he didn't expect this fame to live, but the smaller the fame, the better, and only when the fame is small can you unconsciously find good things, otherwise people will see you as a big celebrity, and it will definitely open your mouth.
During this time, the jewelry industry in the island city was really shocked by Li Xiaojun's generosity, especially when cutting out the egg-sized glass beautiful green jadeite, those large and small jewelers poured into the star jade jewelry, wanting to see the style of the best jadeite.
The island city is not very big, it has only developed in recent years, and the jewelry industry is not very developed, and there are not a few time-honored brands settled in. Xingyu Jewelry is a local predator, and now there is such a piece of excellent material shock, which immediately attracted most of the attention, and even appeared on the city TV station. It is precisely because of this that Li Xiaojun's family decided to hold such a party to expand their influence again, and it would be better if they could get out of the island city.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiaojun urgently needs the aura, what can be more attractive than cutting out the halo of the top jade? In the jewelry industry, there is such a person with a good eye, which means a steady stream of jadeite raw materials.
Li Xiaojun led a group of people to continue to greet the guests in high spirits, while Xie Bin followed Xue Yuying into the hall. Xue Yuying introduced the middle-aged people around her and said that it was her father.
Xie Bin was taken aback when he heard this, this middle-aged man who was not good-looking was the director of the city bureau of the island city? With Xie Bin's eyesight, he didn't notice it just now, and thought it was a businessman. Speaking of which, there are really not many cases where Xie Bin looks away, but this bureau chief let Xie Bin look away.
Xie Bin hurriedly shouted: "Uncle."
Xue Yuying's father said with a smile: "It's good." "It's definitely about the last time Xie Bin fought in the hotel.
Xie Bin hurriedly smiled, "There, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have been arrested by now." ”
"I didn't help you," Director Xue let go of Xue Yuying's arm and said, "You sit with this kid for a while, I'll go over there and have a look." ”
Watching the chief take a glass of wine from the waiter's plate and slowly pac away, Xie Bin dared to stand up straight and said to Xue Yuying: "Your father is really amazing." ”
"Of course," Xue Yuying said proudly, like a little swan.
Looking at the bright Xue Yuying, Xie Bin suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself, she was a proud white swan, and she was like that ugly toad, even if she had a few money, she was just a rich toad.
Xue Yuying didn't know how much Xie Bin had prepared himself in an instant, and asked with interest: "Did you really help Li Xiaojun pick that superb jadeite?" ”
Xie Bin nodded, pretending to be powerful: "Yes, how is it?" Awesome, right? ”
"It's amazing, it's a pity that no beauty can take a fancy to you, look at people, the beauties have gone over there," Xue Yuying said and pointed at Li Xiaojun.
Xie Bin looked up, and indeed, the current Li Xiaojun was surrounded by several girls, including Chen Minhan. I don't know what Zhang Lu on the side will think. Xie Bin looked over there, then at Xue Yuying, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ah, no! ”
"What's wrong?" Xue Yuying asked with wide eyes.
Xie Bin pretended to whisper mysteriously: "I also have a beautiful woman by my side, and it is a big beauty!" ”
Xue Yuying was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look, and suddenly punched Xie Bin's body, "Okay, you Xie Bin, you can also talk to you, Miss Ben also pities you to accompany you, you dare to laugh at me!" ”
Xie Bin pretended to be injured and begged for mercy, which made Xue Yuying sneer. This scene surprised some other people who paid attention, and they all knew what kind of character this eldest lady was.
And Xie Bin knew that Xue Yuying's words just now were just a joke, or an unintentional remark, but he was still a little bitter in his heart. Have pity on me? Indeed, he Xie Bin is an insignificant little person compared to the others here, and no one may be able to remember who he is after today, which is indeed worthy of pity.
Soon the party began, and the men and women began to drink, dance, and whisper. And Xie Bin didn't understand anything about this, and he didn't want to participate, so he sat in the corner alone with a glass of wine and watched them lively.
Not long after, Xue Yuying also sat diagonally opposite Xie Bin with a glass of wine.
"Why don't you dance?" Xie Bin smiled and raised his wine glass, not to mention, this champagne is still quite good.
Xue Yuying raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you go too?" ”
"I don't know how to dance, otherwise I wouldn't have missed such a good opportunity, it's the first time I've participated in such a high-end party," Xie Bin made a longing expression.
"High-grade, hum," Xue Yuying snorted twice, turned her head and asked, "Since you can gamble on stones, why don't you gamble yourself?" Don't have any money? I think you should have about 300,000 too. ”
Xie Bin smiled bitterly, this eldest lady knows him very carefully, but she is also faintly happy in her heart, being able to be noticed by this girl shows that she still has some status in her heart. However, since Li Xiaojun wanted this aura, Xie Bin would not say it to Xue Yuying like an eighth woman, but said with a wry smile: "Miss, this jade is not something that can be bought with money, let alone 300,000 if you are unlucky, it is 30 million." ”
"So serious?" Xue Yuying was very surprised, but quickly turned to Xie Bin and said: "Don't worry, your luck is not bad, maybe it will be your turn next time, just like Li Xiaojun, 300,000 becomes 60 million." ”
"Sixty million? Three hundred thousand? Xie Bin was stunned, it turned out that Li Xiaojun said to others that it was the material he bought for 300,000 yuan. Xie Bin thought that Li Xiaojun would say that he bought it for 23 million. In this way, Li Xiaojun's aura is boundless, 300,000 suddenly becomes 60 million, not to mention in the island city, this story will soon spread throughout the entire jade circle.
But is that stone really worth sixty million? Xie Bin was a little confused, which was much higher than his own estimate of more than 40 million. If it was really worth so much money, Li Xiaojun would be able to earn 37 million at once, and maybe even higher. Xie Bin didn't know how much the glass jewelry was worth, but he knew that the price would only get higher and higher over time.
Looking at Li Xiaojun's spring breeze, Xie Bin was a little silent.
Xue Yuying sat on the side, looking at Xie Bin looking at the crowd with confused eyes, and she was also a little distracted.
For a while, the two of them quietly held their wine glasses and no one spoke, but one was looking at the crowd and the other was looking at him. There is a bit of "you look at the scenery from the bridge, and the people who watch the scenery look at you from upstairs".
