Chapter 43 [Fang Nan's Strange Performance]
I've got a mess in my head!
I just spoke to that Raymond on the phone last night, and it seems that the only way I can get the full ring is through another one in the hands of the European shipowner...... However, I didn't expect it to appear in my sight so quickly!
And so close!
To be fair, I actually had a chance to get it...... After all, this is a public auction, and as long as I have the money, I can buy it.
And the price doesn't seem to be expensive...... At least, I know that the European ship king spent millions of dollars when he bought this ring, and now looking at the reserve price marked on this booklet, it is only one million yuan, and the price difference is too much......
But then I realized that the generous European ship king himself might not have known the true value of the ring, and that it seemed to him that it was nothing more than a hobby that he had thrown millions to sponsor a scientific research project to do good, and that this ring, despite its beauty, was only one of many jewels to him.
Now it's casually thrown out again, and a casual "low price" is regarded as a good deed.
It's a pity that I can't afford even such a "low price".
Brother Huan left me 800,000 yuan, plus the 200,000 yuan that won the lottery last time at home...... Adding up, it's just enough to mark the reserve price...... And, the problem is, this is just the "floor price" of the auction!
Although I have never experienced auctions, I know that under normal circumstances, a lot will be sold much higher than the "reserve price".
What's more, this kind of charity auction in high society, I don't know how many rich people are waiting to throw money. When the time comes, any noble lady takes a fancy to this ring, but her financial resources will never have a chance......
I had a lot of thoughts in my head, and suddenly I heard the car door behind me being opened, and then Fang Nan got in and sat in the back. I could see from the inverted mirror that her face seemed to be a little pale and a little tired in her eyes.
"Miss Fang, where are you going?"
"Send me home." She seemed a little tired, leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to recuperate.
I already know Fang Nan's address, and as her personal assistant, when I came to the company today, Qian Pan had already handed over some information to me.
I drove steadily, and the Audi A8, which was worth nearly two million, was driving steadily on the road, and to be honest, I was actually a little absent-minded. Peeking at Fang Nan, who was napping in the back seat from time to time, a thought suddenly came to his heart: Can the hope of getting that ring be pinned on this woman?
Fang Nan is very rich, I have long seen this.
It can be seen from the company she owns, as well as her clothes, the house she lives in, and the car that belongs to her.
And yesterday, I casually swiped my card and swiped more than 20,000 yuan to buy me a suit!
To be honest, I'm not that gossipy to guess how much she has in the assets. It's all a professional habit.
Because I used to be a supervisor in a nightclub, I was specifically in contact with customers, and my professional habits made me have to understand the customer's financial resources based on the contact with customers.
Because in this way, you can estimate the spending power of this guest!
To put it simply, if I am facing a new customer, I need to see what price he can afford based on his clothes and mannerisms. Is it advisable for him to drink a bottle of Chivas for a few hundred dollars, or a royal salute for a few thousand dollars!
As a supervisor, this is a must-have experience.
In my opinion, Fang Nan, a woman's personal assets, is about tens of millions, and she should definitely have the financial resources to buy this ring.
Fang Nan lives in a place called "XX Garden Apartment" in the west of the city. The city is one of the city's emerging real estate developments in recent years. Originally, 2,000 years ago, it was still an old city with many bungalows, but now after years of construction and demolition, it has established patches of mid-range and high-end residential buildings. The garden apartment where Fang Nan lives is a high-end residential area that was just put on sale last year, and I saw an advertisement here last year, and invited several famous Asian celebrity contemporaries, with the lowest prices in the five figures, known for its beautiful European style.
To put it simply, in one word: expensive!
Driving into this closed community, the uniformed security guard at the door stood up straight, saluting respectfully to the car, I didn't wake up Fang Nan, who was taking a nap, but drove the car to look for it from building to building.
Fang Nan lives in a small townhouse on the edge of the gated community. Originally, a bungalow was divided into two houses for sale, so it was called "row of houses". However, it seems that Fang Nan bought the two houses together, so she occupied a bungalow to herself.
I found the sect number, looked at the green lawn in front of the house, and the garage on the side, and felt a strange feeling in my heart.
The life of a rich man...... The area of people's garages is probably much larger than that of many ordinary people's houses......
Stop, turn off the engine, I gently woke up Fang Nan, Fang Nan looked a little lazy, her face was a little flushed, I tried my best to control my gaze not to look at her seductive eyes and the hem of her skirt exposed straight calves: "Miss Fang, your house has arrived." โ
"Hmm......" She let out a soft snort from her nose, to be honest, this snort made my heart jump a few times, watching Fang Nan stretch her waist, and then heard her laugh softly: "I fell asleep just now?" โ
"Hmm." I replied steadily.
"I ...... Isn't it ugly to look like you're asleep? โ
"Huh?" I was stunned, smiled wryly, and tried to answer in a tone that didn't bring any emotion: "I was driving just now, I didn't pay attention." โ
Fang Nan sighed, a faint sense of loss flashed in her eyes, and then she opened the door and got out of the car and glanced at me: "You go in with me." โ
Honestly, I'd love to go in and see what this beautiful single woman's home looks like...... But reason tells me to forget it. This kind of temptation, just reverie in your heart, there is no need.
"No need, I'll wait for you in the car, just in time for a cigarette."
Fang Nan pursed her lips and smiled, she looked very good when she smiled, and the corners of her mouth on both sides were slightly upturned a little, like a crescent moon: "You're welcome, I may need a little time to get ready, and you're quite bored in the car." Go inside, I might have a little more for you to do. โ
Then she walked away to open the door. I thought about it, anyway, she is the boss, she said so, and I can't object to it.
When I got out of the car and entered the door, I really felt the life of a rich man......
The door is not keyed, but a combination lock, and there is a very advanced security system throughout the house, which is very human!
Such a system, if brute-forced, can drop metal fences on all doors and windows of an entire house in a matter of seconds! At the same time, after the door is opened, if it is not closed within a certain period of time, there will be a jวng newspaper system to notify the security office in the community immediately!
This system also has an advantage: if there are people in the house, especially single women, in order to be safe, the owner can temporarily turn off the security system, in such a state, only the people inside can open the door, and the people outside, even if they steal the password, can not open the door!
In any abnormal state, the system will directly send a jวng report to notify the security guard of the community.
It can be said that this system is very advanced, it is said that many wealthy people are using it, and it is a new product in Europe...... Of course, the price is also "international standard".
Walking into Fang Nan's house, after entering the door, she bent down and took off her high heels, and then threw them aside, I tried my best not to let my eyes sweep down, because when she took off her shoes and raised her legs just now, I was standing behind her......
"You can sit in the living room for a while, and there's something to drink in the kitchen fridge." Fang Nan left a word and went up the stairs.
The first floor is very large, about 100 square halls, very cleverly divided into a living room, then a row of European-style wooden railings, two steps up, is the dining room, the kitchen is translucent, it can be seen, very tidy.
I just looked around carefully.
Obviously, Fang Nan is a person who has high requirements for the quality of life, all the furnishings and furniture in her home do not have that luxurious atmosphere, it looks very warm, the sofa is red, the shape is very chic, as if it is a big or small boat, and there is a soft collapse next to it, probably used to lie on it and watch movies...... Because I saw a huge wall TV hanging on the wall.
In the corner is a fireplace, not for the kind of decoration, but for the real one! A circle of black sรจ metal fences, exuding a minimalist atmosphere, is very clean inside, and it can be seen that she does not use it often. The two chairs in front of the fireplace are obviously of a style that cannot be bought in China, and there is also a piece of animal fur on the floor.
I sat down on the couch and couldn't help but sigh. It's soft! I felt like I was stuck in a cloud pile, and the whole person was deeply sunk into the sofa, so comfortable that I couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Fang Nan walked down from upstairs, she changed into a simple casual clothes, the upper body was a wide white sรจt shirt, and below was a pair of very fat pants, and the long hair was a simple bunch at the back of the head, which looked a little bit of a little family woman.
"How's my home?"
"Great!" I am truly amazed.
She smiled, and threw me a cylinder, which I caught, and it was a cigarette, a red panda, the kind of hundred-stick.
I'm afraid I don't need to say much about how much this cigarette is worth.
But I'm curious...... The cigarette was unpacked, it was still new. But I vaguely remember that Fang Nan only smoked women's cigarettes...... How could she have this kind of men's smoke in her house?
Is it for someone else? Still is...... Specially for me?
I gave up this somewhat ridiculous thought in my mind, don't joke, what am I who I am......
"You're used to this, aren't you? I don't know what men like to smoke, but it seems like it's the best. I don't know if I bought it with your intentions. She smiled.
God, my heart is starting to pound! Was it really bought specifically for me?
"What do you drink?" Fang Nan seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and quickly walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator: "I have juice and beer here......
"Water will do." I hurriedly said, "I still have to drive, and I don't dare to drink." โ
Fang Nan took out a can of soda and walked over to me and threw it to me - in all fairness, I don't really like to drink this kind of soda water, but in this situation, where do I dare to be picky? I picked it up and poured it a few times.
Fang Nan squinted at me for a while, then sat down on another small single sofa beside me, picked up the red panda on the table, opened it and handed me a branch, and ordered another one himself.
It's a pity that as soon as she took a puff, she coughed and said with a wry smile: "I still can't get used to your men's cigarettes, it's too choking." โ
Seeing that I was a little cramped, Fang Nan's eyes were very calm: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as a guest at a friend's house." โ
I smiled exaggeratedly: "Please, you are my boss, and now I owe you 300,000!" โ
Watching me smoking, Fang Nan's eyes seemed to be in a trance, I didn't dare to make eye contact with her, I just said casually: "Miss Fang...... Well, didn't you just say that I had something to do? What is it? โ
"Oh...... Oh......" She seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, "I have a broken cabinet door in my kitchen, you know, we women are not very good at this kind of work......"
"Where?" I immediately pulled the cigarette out of my hand, stood up and rolled up my sleeves.
Then I felt like I was almost a coolie!
I first helped Fang Nan repair a cabinet door in the kitchen, then ran to the basement to dig out a toolbox that was almost rusty, and helped her check the cabinet doors one by one to reinforce every screw. Then she said that there seemed to be a problem with the lights in the kitchen, and I ran into the basement and pulled out a spare light bulb to help her change the lights in the kitchen.
Then she said that a wiring board in the living room had some bad contact, although I tried it on the spot and found that it was normal and there was nothing wrong, but I didn't say anything and still replaced her with a spare new one.
When I was running around to help her with these household chores, I felt that Fang Nan had been standing quietly behind me and looking at me, she didn't say a word, but seemed to be a little distracted...... So much so that when I helped her change the light bulb, I asked her to hold on to the ladder, but she didn't move at all, and I almost fell off!
I already feel that something is wrong!
She didn't seem to have anything to do at all, and many things were obviously not broken, but she asked me to fix them for her, as if she was just looking at me at work......
I was busy for an hour, although it was all small things, but I also sweated a little, my coat had been taken off, and my shirt was accidentally stained with a lot of dust.
"Anything else?" I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Fang Nan.
Fang Nan folded her arms in front of her chest, leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, with a very gentle expression on her face, hearing my inquiry, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if she was trying to think about it, before she hesitated: "Hmm...... And the lawn outside hasn't been mowed for a long time...... I have a weeder in my basement......"
โโฆโฆโ
I smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Fang...... I'm afraid I can't help you with this...... I won't weed, and I won't make that machine, I'm afraid to cut your lawn into a mess. โ
"It doesn't matter, the gardener comes every week anyway...... Ah......h
Depend on! Since the gardener comes every week, what kind of weeds do you tell me to remove!
My face sank a little. She's clearly playing tricks on me! Is it fun for the tribe to run me around and work?
The two of us stood in the kitchen, looking at each other for a while, Fang Nan suddenly sighed: "Chen Yang, I'm sorry, let's go out and talk." โ
I snorted, a little displeased, and put one of the wrenches in my hand into the toolbox.
When we were all sitting on the couch, she suddenly ran upstairs, came down with a flat box, and handed it to me.
It's a new set of shirts.
"You...... Your shirt is dirty, change it. Fang Nan's cheeks were a little red, but then she seemed to be trying to cover up: "You still have to attend that charity auction with me in the evening, you can't dress sloppily." โ
I looked at the shirt box in my hand, it was completely brand new, and even the size was exactly my size...... Obviously, this is also specially prepared for me......
"Okay." I sighed, I thought about it, and I could only smile bitterly: "...... Thank you. โ
