Chapter 712: Birthday Banquet

Next, Chu Chen said a few more skills to identify whether it is A goods, and then said: "Actually, a bracelet like yours, if it is really a glass type of A goods, it is not 800,000 yuan that can be bought at all, with the current market, the price of raw materials is more than 800,000, if it is genuine, why should the other party sell it?" He's not stupid. ”

Everyone nodded, a businessman is not a philanthropist, how can he do that kind of thing that harms himself and others, even if he is an acquaintance, unless the other party asks for you, otherwise it is already good if he does not increase the price, how can he sell at a loss?

Such a crude truth, not to mention Zhu Dafu and others, even Hou Ming also understood, she cried with a sad face, and said:

"This is a birthday gift from my brother-in-law, and he must have been greedy for cheap to suffer such a big loss."

Speaking of this, she turned her head and asked Chu Chen: "I seem to have heard that B goods are also valuable, so how much can B + C goods be worth?" ”

Chu Chen explained: "Whether this B goods are worth anything or not depends on how well it is cleaned by strong acid, if there are only a few points, then it is okay, but if it is washed strictly, it is not worth much." This is because B goods jadeite can not stand the test of time, generally after a few years of silica gel oxidation, jadeite will become unrecognizable. And this bracelet of yours is washed more strictly. ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Hou Ming immediately hung her head, and after a while, she was angry and stuffed the bracelet into her bag.

"Humph! When I go back, I must ask my brother-in-law to return the goods! ”

An Gongshi comforted her and said, "Okay, my brother-in-law's bracelet was brought back from Myanmar by your uncle, and it's been almost two years. Return or something, don't think about it. ”

"How. Xiao Ming's brother-in-law is also in the jade business? Meng Yi asked when he heard this.

An Gongshi said with a smile: "He can buy B+C goods as A goods, do you think he will be a person who does jadeite business?" He's just in the timber business on the Burmese side. Gambling on stones is a hobby of his. In the past, he often bragged about how superb his gambling stone level was, but now it seems that this guy is probably also a half-ass. ”

"I don't think it's half-tricks, but seven tricks and six tricks, and I don't know anything!" Hou Ming muttered beside him.

When An Gongshi heard her say this, he reprimanded: "You girl, he is your elder after all, and he spent so much money to buy you gifts." How can you say that about him? ”

Hou Ming pursed her lips, still looking a little unconvinced.

Seeing this situation, An Gongshi could only shake his head secretly and sigh, this child was spoiled by his parents!

At this time, the guests began to take their seats, although today is the ninetieth birthday of the old gentleman, but not many people are invited, the old gentleman's family and the guests together, just three tables full of round tables.

These people are all relatives and friends of the old gentleman. In addition, a high-ranking official from the cultural department came to congratulate, this person's surname is Qi, it just so happens that Chu Chen still knows, and he is also from the Chu family. During the New Year, I also went to their house to pay respects to the New Year.

When everyone was seated, the service staff began to serve the food. Today's dishes are all farmhouse dishes, and all the ingredients are basically homegrown. It looks unpretentious, but the aroma is compelling. Attracted people to salivate.

Next, after the service staff poured a glass of wine or a drink for each guest, Ling Lao stood up with a red face and gave a simple speech, thanking everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to come.

When Ling Lao finished his speech and sat down, someone immediately stood up and raised his wine glass to congratulate Ling Lao on his birthday.

Seeing this situation, of course, the others also stood up one after another, wishing the old gentleman a prosperous sun and a long moon, and a long pine crane.

Immediately, Ling Lao stood up again, thanked everyone with a smile, and drank a small glass of rice wine in his hand, which announced the official start of the banquet.

In addition, today's dishes are all fresh farm ingredients, and the chef's level is very superb, so everyone nodded and praised again and again, and even Hou Ming, who was still sad just now, temporarily forgot his sorrow.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, someone stood up and offered the gift he had carefully prepared.

Although Ling Lao spoke before asking everyone not to break the bank, many of the guests who came still took out gifts worth hundreds of thousands, such as famous calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade and other things with auspicious styles, and so on.

However, everyone also took into account Ling Lao's feelings to some extent, and the value of the congratulatory gifts was not more than one million.

Speaking of which, our country is very particular about human relations, although Ling Lao received so many gifts, it seems that he made a fortune for a while, but in the final analysis, these favors still have to be repaid, which is also the sophistication of our society.

After giving the gifts, everyone talked and laughed, and the dinner was over, except for a few relatives of Ling Lao, everyone else politely said goodbye and left.

Just as Chu Chen and the others were also about to say goodbye and leave, the senior official surnamed Qi took his driver and walked up to Chu Chen with a smile, and the two parties greeted each other warmly, and exchanged a few words of greeting before the other party said goodbye and left.

Seeing this situation, Meng Yixian and the others, who didn't know, were very surprised, and Meng Yixian asked curiously: "Xiao Chu, do you know?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "He went to my house to pay respects during the New Year, and he is not too familiar. ”

When everyone heard Chu Chen say this, they were even more surprised, because according to Chu Chen's statement, his family at least had a higher status than the person just now, and looking at the enthusiastic expression of the person just now, maybe the status of Chu Chen's family is much higher than that person, so whose son is Chu Chen?

Seeing that everyone was speculating about Chu Chen's family background, Zhu Dafu smiled and said, "Don't guess, Xiao Chen's grandfather is Chu Lao." ”

"Lao Zhu, what are you talking about...... Chu Zhengrong, Chu Lao? Qiao Qingtai asked dumbfounded.

The expressions of the others were similar to Qiao Qingtai's, they knew that the status of Chu Chen's family should be very high, but to this extent, it must have been unexpected.

"Yes!" Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, and Xiaochen likes to be low-key, so you just don't have to do it in the future." ”

Chu Chen nodded and smiled, and didn't say anything, as the owner of the matter, he didn't want to say anything more in this regard, otherwise he would be a little suspicious of pretending.

Although Zhu Dafu said this, and Chu Chen was usually polite, everyone felt a little strange in their hearts when they learned about it.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back early!" Zhu Dafu said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go talk to Ling Lao......"

After saying goodbye to Chu Chen and the others, An Gongshi saw Hou Ming, who was a little sullen, and said with a smile: "I knew this earlier, so I won't bring you here today." ”

Hou Ming said angrily: "Even if you don't bring me, the fake is still fake, and it can't be true!" ”

"You girl, you're so smart, you can't guess what I mean?" An Gongshi looked at her with a smile.

"Humph!" Hou Ming muttered and said: "As the old saying goes, my fair lady and gentleman are good, and the reverse is the same, Brother Chu, he is so good, what's wrong with me liking him?" ”

"That's why I regret bringing you here!"

An Gongshi said earnestly: "Xiao Ming, you must know that it is difficult for a family like ours to marry into a wealthy family like the Chu family, and now, you don't even think about it, a family like him has only a small chance of getting engaged and will withdraw from the marriage, not to mention, Chu Chen also said that the relationship with his girlfriend is very good, under normal circumstances, there is a possibility of variables between the two, basically zero." ”

Hou Ming was silent for a while when he heard this, before he clenched his fists and shouted, "Why am I so unlucky today!" ”

…………

The next day, Chu Chen and others took a plane at nine o'clock in the morning and flew directly to the capital, and when they got off the plane, Hu Yong was already driving a business car and waiting at the airport.

Straight to the arranged hotel, Chu Chen accompanied everyone to have lunch, put the harvest in the store non-stop, and arranged the work matters, and took the business car to Wucheng.

In this way, after waiting for a day, Chu Chen came back from Wucheng, and before he had a short rest, he came to the military hospital to visit Zuo Shan and Le Fang and his wife.

Chu Chen first greeted them, and then asked, "Brother Zuo, are you still used to this time?" ”

"Thank you Chu Shao, we are doing well here." The couple expressed their gratitude to Chu Chen.

Subsequently, Zuo Shan said with a sad expression: "However, the doctor also said that because the treatment time is too late, it is very difficult to cure now." ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Shan's brows furrowed even tighter, the treatment was difficult, not to mention whether the treatment was good or not, the cost of treatment must be a lot of money, he was very worried, in Chu Chen's eyes, he was not worth the cost of treatment. There is a saying that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and if that is the case, he will have nothing to do.

Chu Chen also understood why Zuo Shan was worried, he said: "In this way, in terms of treatment, I will discuss with the attending doctor, as for the cost, I will be responsible, you don't have to think about it." ”

Zuo Shan was very excited when he heard Chu Chen say this.

And Le Fang is both happy and a little sad, after all, the ants are still stealing life, let alone her with a husband and son? However, she was worried that Chu Chen would arrange dangerous things for her husband, and she felt a little conflicted for a while, but now for them, what can they do besides being able to count on Chu Chen?

Afterwards, the two sides chatted a few more words, and Chu Chen went to the doctor's office to understand the situation.

The current Chu Chen's reputation here is not small, so Le Fang's attending doctor did not despise Chu Chen because of his young age. In addition, Chu Chen is not in vain, after Chu Chen expressed his opinion, the other party was amazed at the same time, and he also sighed in his heart, Chu Chen's brain didn't know how it was long!
