Chapter 5 Reuniting Kangqiao
When Li Jingjing heard Xie Bin say that she was going to see her, she said happily: "Okay, okay, when are you coming?" I don't know anyone here, it's boring. β
"Your father, have you arranged for the staff to take care of you, besides, your English is so good, you can make new friends."
Li Jingjing grinned, "Can I make male friends?" I saw a very handsome boy today. β
Xie Bin coughed, "This can't be!" I'm going to be angry! β
"I'm scaring you, look at your stingy appearance, giggle," Li Jingjing smiled happily on the other end of the phone, obviously very satisfied that Xie Bin cared about her so much, and said: "But this place is really beautiful, I'll take you around Cambridge when the time comes." β
"Okay, it's better to go back to Kangqiao to have a look...... Xie Bin continued.
"Cambridge?" Li Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then giggled, "Fool, what Xu Zhimo said about Kangqiao refers to Cambridge, in fact, there is no small bridge called Kangqiao here, but a problem of translation." β
Xie Bin sweated, he wanted to admire the beautiful scenery described by Xu Zhimo, but he didn't expect that it was just a fantasy from others. But Xu Zhimo is really powerful, and he really doesn't have to say anything about his talent. Moreover, Xie Bin also knew that Jin Yong was Xu Zhimo's cousin, Shen Junru was Xu Zhimo's cousin, and Qiong Yao was Xu Zhimo's niece. I have to say that this family is really amazing.
However, Li Jingjing's correction did not affect Xie Bin's good mood, "It's okay, let's just find a bridge as Kangqiao, and then let's also write a poem, well, it's called 'Reunion Kangqiao', how about it?" β
Li Jingjing smiled: "Okay, but can you Xie Bin be better than Xu Zhimo?" He is a famous poet at home and abroad. β
Xie Bin said dejectedly: "What's so good about that guy?" Won't you be able to write poetry? As he spoke, he smiled and said, "I can't write or draw?" When the time comes, I can always paint a painting of "Reunion in Kangqiao", right? Presumably Mr. Xu doesn't have this ability, right? He can imagine a Cambridge, but I can draw my imagination on paper, haha. β
"Okay, I know you have the ability," Li Jingjing interrupted Xie Bin's narcissism with a smile and asked, "Are you okay at home?" β
Xie Bin pretended to be confused and asked, "Home?" That home? β
"I hate you, of course, it's our family," Li Jingjing said angrily.
Xie Bin smiled, "It's good, it's all good, well, my parents are very good, and it's good to go around, what about you?" Settled down? β
"Well, my dad arranged for someone to prepare it in advance," Li Jingjing said and suddenly asked, "Husband, when did you get that hairpin?" Where to buy it? β
Xie Bin said proudly: "Do I still need to buy other people's things for your husband?" I made it myself, how? Except for the hairpin, I made it myself. β
Li Jingjing said happily: "Really? Husband, you're so good, are you helping me make a few? No more, a carved phoenix-shaped hairpin, a beaded flower, a dotted emerald butterfly-shaped hairpin......"
Xie Bin hurriedly interrupted: "Stop, stop, stop!" β
Li Jingjing said aggrievedly: "What's wrong? You don't want to? β
Xie Bin sweated profusely and said, "You really use your husband as a craftsman?" It's already the limit to make such a simple one, and no matter how complicated the process is, my husband still has to go to the master to learn. β
Li Jingjing grinned, "Who made you arouse people's desire to collect, you are really beautiful, especially those leaf-shaped jade carvings, I can't bear to touch them." β
Xie Bin smiled, listening to Li Jingjing's praise, his heart was also beautiful, what can compare to his wife's praise? But that hairpin really deserves Li Jingjing's praise. To say that the process is actually very simple, but the ornament is not simple at all.
Not to mention anything else, just those few leaves consumed a lot of material, although this material is not a glass species, but it is also a high-grade ice species, which was specially selected by Xie Bin. And in order to carve it into a leaf shape, Xie Bin really spent a lot of effort.
Although the hardness of jadeite is very high, but when carving, it is easy to crack, and the general craftsman in order to save the material or ensure the integrity of the material, it is rare to carve like Xie Bin regardless of the cost. And ordinary people don't have the ability to carve jadeite into such a thin leaf.
And when carving, in order to be realistic, Xie Bin also carved dark lines on the leaves, as the veins of the leaves. These leaves alone took Xie Bin almost half a month's effort.
On the contrary, those beads are relatively simple to make, although those beads have more patterns, but they are not too difficult to make, especially in Xie Bin's hands. It's just that looking for materials of various colors made Xie Bin waste a lot of effort, and that's it, a few red beads didn't reach the ice species.
However, it is still very beautiful to match, the materials selected by Xie Bin are all less impurities, even if the color and foundation are a little worse, the appearance after polishing is still very good. And when paired together, those less obvious shortcomings are masked.
There are a few small bead chains hanging from the emerald green leaf-shaped petals, which are inserted in Li Jingjing's black and shiny bun, which doesn't feel too wonderful. After Xie Bin helped Li Jingjing with the thrush that day, when he inserted the hairpin, he looked at the beauty in ancient costume in the mirror, which made Xie Bin almost think that he had really arrived in ancient times.
Li Jingjing is an intellectual beauty, with a cold temperament, and with the cold hairpin with a hint of luxury, it is really a perfect match, no wonder Li Jingjing likes it so much. In particular, this hairpin is dynamic and static, with cold and bright green leaves as the main static, supplemented by colorful and changeable bead chains, so that a small hairpin becomes very different.
In fact, Li Jingjing liked to collect hairpins when she was young, and there are countless hairpins of all kinds at home, and Xie Bin also made it deliberately because of Li Jingjing's hobby. It's just that this hairpin is just a brass hairpin, not a gold one. In fact, it's not that Xie Bin can't afford to use the gold hairpin, but he thinks that the gold is too cheesy, and using brass can add some solemn atmosphere.
Xie Bin and Li Jingjing chatted for more than an hour, until the mobile phone was in arrears. After all, it is a man and a woman in love, and sometimes it is not possible to live it with common sense. In other words, which couple in love is not like this, and they can't wait to stick together every day?
The next day, Zou Xintong hurriedly came to Xie Bin again, and as soon as he saw Xie Bin, Zou Xintong came over with a smile, "Big boss, it's time to pay for it!" β
Xie Bin was stunned for a moment, and paid for it? Looking at the white and soft palm stretched out by Zou Xintong, Xie Bin was a little distracted, and suddenly thought of the spring light that he had inadvertently glimpsed the day before yesterday.
"Hey, hey, what do you want?" Zou Xintong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xie Bin's eyes a few times, and said dissatisfiedly: "If the big boss doesn't invest money, this work can't continue." β
"Huh? Ah, okay," Xie Bin came back to his senses, quietly wiping the saliva that didn't exist, and then completely reacted, the person in front of him was here to ask for money. Thinking of this, Xie Bin asked, "How much do you need?" What is it for? β
This is not that Xie Bin wants to interfere with Zou Xintong's work, but to achieve a minimum understanding. Zou Xintong trusts Zou Xintong very much, but it does not mean that he has to call his fate to Zou Xintong's hands. In the foreign movie that Xie Bin likes very much, there is a line that says it very well, "I trust you, but I don't trust the devil in your heart", this sentence is very classic.
No matter how noble a person is, there is a devil living in his heart. Just like a loyal man, when he sees a beautiful woman on the street, he will have some thoughts, but he can resist the temptation. If this superb woman was lying naked on the bed and seducing him with all her might, would he be tempted? If this woman says that I just admire you, and after this time, none of us know anyone, and no one will know about it, do you think he will pounce?
A famous saying on the Internet also says very well, "People don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are not high enough." Of course, Xie Bin doesn't fully agree with this sentence, it's too biased. But sometimes I have to think so, because the current environment is like this.
Xie Bin trusts Zou Xintong, but he doesn't say that he will throw millions and ignore it. Last time, I helped Zou Xintong at a high price, which was Xie Bin's own willingness. Throwing things away by yourself and being stolen by others are completely different things, especially Xie Bin doesn't want to have a bloody plot where he is betrayed.
Another one said that Xie Bin himself is a major shareholder, and he must have some understanding of the progress of the store, so it is normal to ask such questions. To Xie Bin's surprise, Zou Xintong was not at all unhappy about not being trusted, but sat down excitedly to tell Xie Bin about the work she had done that day.
After listening to Zou Xintong's results for a day, Xie Bin also had to applaud this woman, mainly because she did a really good job. She spends all her time shopping, which is not simply shopping, but looking for a suitable storefront.
The island city is not big, and it is not small to say that it is not small, but it is not easy to find the right storefront. And Zou Xintong not only found it, but also very suitable. She even told her why she chose that place.
This made Xie Bin feel a little ashamed of his villain. However, she was soon aroused by Zou Xintong to listen, because the scene she depicted was indeed good.
Xie Bin himself is not very familiar with the island city, but he still knows the place Zou Xintong said. It's definitely in the downtown area, but it's a good place to stay in the middle of nowhere. The faΓ§ade is not big, but there is a pedestrian street outside the door, and there is a five-star hotel and two large shopping malls nearby. What's more, there is a parking lot here, so you don't have to worry about customers not being able to find a parking space.
In big cities today, the importance of parking spaces is becoming more and more obvious, and Xie Bin is no exception, and he is not willing to let his customers park their cars a few hundred meters away and then cross the pedestrian street to the store.
Of course, the better the location of the store, the rent is not cheap, it is 240,000 yuan a year, and a full 20,000 yuan a month. In addition, it is necessary to redecorate, order the counter, purchase a safe, install a monitor, etc., all of which cost money.
After listening to Zou Xintong, Xie Bin took out the money quite happily, and directly transferred five million to the account in the store. Xie Bin spends money cautiously, not that he spends money stingily. In fact, he has a feeling that he treats money like dung, just like the last time he helped Zou Xintong out of the siege, he has Li Bai's heroic spirit of "the daughter is scattered and comes back".
Such a character can be gathered in him alone, and I have to say that this is the result of the environment creating people.
