Chapter 537: Thanksgiving (I)

The next day, Wu Ke took Qiao Qian and Liu Guoju's family to visit the famous scenic spots in the capital, because they were afraid of any accidents, Chu Chen also sent them a female bodyguard.

As for Chu Chen, he went to Uncle Wu first, and then took him to his shop with him, after all, it will officially open tomorrow, and there are still some things to prepare.

Now that the decoration of the store has been completed, the antique atmosphere makes Chu Chen nod again and again, feeling very satisfied.

When he arrived at the store, Zhou Wenping first introduced the newly recruited clerk to Chu Chen, because unlike other antique shops, Chu Chen's store also sells jade jewelry, so the clerk recruited a little more, adding up to a total of five clerks, plus a cashier.

Regarding the hiring of the clerk, Chu Chen wanted to thank Lao Wu, because of his connections, these people recruited are all familiar with the roots, as long as they are trained a little and familiar with the store rules, they can take up their posts.

Chu Chen first distributed the gifts brought back by Xiangjiang to everyone, even those clerks also had them, which made them have a very good first impression of Chu Chen, the young and handsome boss.

Afterwards, the group came to the VIP room upstairs, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu made a cup of tea for everyone first, which made Uncle Wu nod his head again and again, and neither of them lost their sense of proportion because Chu Chen spoke to them well, and they were both interesting people.

Next, Chu Chen first inquired about the preparations for the opening, and Zhou Wenping took out a piece of paper and reported it to Chu Chen one by one.

Chu Chen learned from this that basically everything to be prepared for tomorrow has been prepared, in addition. Zhou Wenping also sent all the invitations to the people who Chu Chen had confessed before.

Seeing that there was basically no problem with everything, he smiled and said, "It's really hard for you!" ”

Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu hurriedly waved their hands. It means that it should be.

However, Uncle Wu frowned a little and said, "Xiao Chen, there are still some fine products and treasures in our store. Why don't you bring some of my collections? ”

Tomorrow opens, Chu Chen is going to bring out those treasures in his collection for the guests to enjoy, and it can be regarded as showing his strength, of course, the best products in his collection cannot be sold, so there are always some boutiques and treasures to prepare for the guests to choose.

However, Chu Chen's background is too shallow after all, of course, the background mentioned here. It's not those superlative, if it is the best, then he will take out two things casually, and others will be envious and jealous. The heritage here refers to the fine products that can be sold in the antique shop, or some treasures and other items that Chu Chen does not plan to collect.

You must know that Chu Chen wants to build his shop into a boutique antique shop, so he can't just sell ordinary things like a small vendor. But because Chu Chen's career time is too short after all, although with the help of Uncle Wu and Lao Wu. There are already some good and rare items to take the shot. But the number of these things is still too small.

If the customers who come tomorrow buy a lot, what should the store do next? This is exactly what Uncle Wu is worried about.

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, Chu Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." I'll figure it out first. By the way, after I went to Jiangxiang, did I receive some fine products or treasures? ”

"Received three!" Uncle Wu smiled and gestured.

Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this: "There are so many? ”

Uncle Wu nodded with a smile and said, "It's also lucky." There is a boss who has failed because of the business. I owe a lot of debts, so I want to sell some antiques to pay off the debt. Among his things, two were small treasures, and the fifth child also received a fine one. ”

Chu Chen couldn't help but smile happily: "Then counting the two pieces that I received first, there are already five pieces, and I can take some at home by then, which is enough!" Let's go, let's go and take out those three things for me to admire, lest I lose my face tomorrow if I don't know. ”

Everyone laughed, and then Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping walked towards the vault.

However, as soon as Chu Chen went out, he saw a clerk hurriedly walking upstairs.

"Boss, there is an old man named Sun Dayou below, who said that he wants to see you!"

"Oh!"

Chu Chen stopped, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this Sun Dayou was the old man whose granddaughter had leukemia, so he hurriedly said, "Go and ask him to come up!" ”

"What a shame!" The clerk answered, and then hurried downstairs.

Because Sun Dayou was coming, Chu Chen asked the fifth child to take out the things with Zhou Wenping, and he first made a cup of tea for Sun Dayou.

After a while, that Sun Dayou walked in with a cloth bag, and then first gave Chu Chen a deep salute: "Boss Chu, thank you so much last time, if it weren't for you and my granddaughter, it would probably be gone!" ”

Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Sun Dayou up: "Old Sun, you really killed me, we were just a fair deal that day, you don't have to thank me like this!" ”

Sun Dayou shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about that, I'm Xie Lu Xie for the phone call you gave me, it is because of the other party's help that my granddaughter can have surgery as soon as possible, if it is a little later, it is likely that her life will be gone." ”

It turned out that Sun Dayou's granddaughter needed surgery as soon as possible because of acute leukemia, but the level of the hospital where they originally lived was limited, although the operation could be done, but the success rate was really not guaranteed, and the stem cells of the key family did not match his granddaughter's, but the stem cells were not so easy to find at one time.

Subsequently, the family discussed transferring to the hospital, so Sun Dayou remembered the phone call given by Chu Chen.

As soon as Director Miao heard that it was Chu Chen's relationship, he immediately opened the door to convenience, and with his help, he quickly found the stem cells, and then immediately underwent surgery. It is precisely because of the timely treatment that the little girl has the possibility of recovery, otherwise she would probably have passed away.

Although this matter is considered to be the credit of Director Miao, and Sun Dayou's family also thanked him, if it weren't for Chu Chen, how could the head teacher of that big hospital try his best to help ordinary people?

Therefore, as soon as his granddaughter got better, Sun Dayou came over to thank Chu Chen, which was a coincidence, Chu Chen happened to come to the store today, if he came earlier, it is estimated that he would have pounced.

Hearing that Sun Dayou's granddaughter is recovering well, Chu Chen congratulated him, and said with a smile: "This matter is still the credit of Director Miao, I don't dare to take credit!" ”

"Don't say that!" Sun Dayou waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you the truth, if it weren't for your relationship, Director Miao wouldn't be so dedicated, it's all your favor!" I can't get a good thing to send to you, you like antiques, there are just two things handed down from your ancestors at home, do you like it? ”

As he spoke, he took out two boxes from his pocket and pushed them in front of Chu Chen.

However, Chu Chen did not open the box first, but said: "Old Sun, I can take the things, but we have to speak first, if it's just a gadget, then it's okay for me to accept it, but if the value of the thing is very high, then I must give you money, otherwise, you better take it back!" ”

"This ......" Sun Dayou seemed a little hesitant, after all, it was his granddaughter's reinvention grace, even if it was tens of thousands of things, he would be willing to give them to Chu Chen, as for saying that it would be worth tens of millions, he didn't think about it, because he didn't think that the little thing he brought this time would be such a precious treasure.

Uncle Wu also persuaded: "Old gentleman, there is a way to be polite and friendly, when Xiao Chen called you, he didn't go for money, if your gift is too expensive, it also seems too philistine, don't you say?" ”

Sun Dayou thought about it and felt reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Okay, if it's tens of thousands of things, then you can just accept it, after all, my granddaughter's life is not necessarily worth this money, right?" ”

"Okay!"

Chu Chen was not too pretentious, and responded directly, and then he opened one of the boxes, and his face showed surprise at that time, it turned out that there was a copper fetal painting enamel color snuff bottle inside.

Snuff box is the product of the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, snuff was introduced into our country, and later the snuff box gradually became oriental, producing snuff bottles. At that time, the nomads living there could not smoke with a cigarette barrel on horseback, and snuff was suitable for smoking on horses, and it soon became popular.

The color of this pot is gorgeous, and the double-sided moire opens the light of Western figures and flowers, and the characters echo nature and are colorful.
