Chapter 004: Redemption (Medium)
In order to save Zhou Ying's heart, Yang Zhen came out of the barber shop, and when he passed by a flower shop, he hesitated a little and walked in.
When he came out, he already had a bouquet of red roses in his arms.
Speaking of which, Zhou Ying has been with him for almost six years, and he hasn't bought her tweed yet.
He didn't chase her, when he became the invincible Eagle Claw King in "Scarlet Rivers and Lakes", he was ranked double, and he was chased by Zhou Ying, a classmate in the same class.
I didn't chase him much at the time, but one night, she called his dormitory and asked him to go to the pavilion in the lotus pond of the school, and asked him if he could be her boyfriend, and they were together.
The so-called "women chase men, interlayer yarn" is as simple as that.
Because of this, Yang Zhen never chased her, and he never took flowers to confess to her.
Later, when the two got together, Yang Zhen felt that instead of wasting money to buy such expensive flowers, it was better to buy her some small jewelry, or invite her to a delicious meal, so that he hadn't given her flowers once for almost six years.
But then again, flowers are really expensive.
A rose costs ten dollars.
Yang Zhen bought nine sticks today, plus the grass in the flowers, and asked for 128 yuan.
This is still the price after the discount.
If it was before, Yang Zhen would be reluctant to buy such flashy things.
But tonight's situation is special, and he doesn't want to let go of anything that might make Zhou Ying change his mind.
Flowers have been bought.
Yang Zhen thought that he and Zhou Ying were already the eldest again.
He is 27 years old, and Zhou Ying is the same.
In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, let's just do it tonight with a marriage proposal!
Thinking like this, he hurriedly went back to get his bank card, and then took a taxi to the city's most famous jewelry store - Jinxin Jewelry.
In fact, I have been down-and-out for more than two years, and I have borne the living expenses of Zhou Ying and herself in the past few years, as well as buying clothes and gifts for my family, relatives and friends, as well as Zhou Ying and myself during the New Year's holidays.
After Yang Zhen bought a house, the money he had accumulated had already been spent.
Yang Zhen remembered that there should only be 10,000 yuan in his bank card.
Is it twelve thousand six? Or twelve thousand eight?
He doesn't remember very well.
But it should be twelve thousand, yes.
With so much money, it should be okay to buy a diamond ring of average quality. As for the money for marriage, Yang Zhen has two plans.
One is to mortgage the house and borrow some money from the bank.
Or, when the game is completed, go out and kill a few enemies and come back with a little money. Those enemies' martial arts are so high, any piece of equipment on their bodies can be sold for 12,800, killing a few should be enough for him to marry Zhou Ying.
It's just that the second method takes time, and it needs to wait for him to practice Paiyun Palm.
If Zhou Ying is not in a hurry to get married, this method is feasible. In case Zhou Ying is in a hurry to get married, he can only use the first method and go to the bank to get a loan.
The reason why he came to the city's most famous Jinxin jewelry store was only for the sake of credibility.
He himself has no knowledge of the quality of the diamond ring, so he has to choose Jinxin Jewelry, which is the most famous jewelry store in the city, and the reputation should be good, right?
Yang Zhen came here for this reason.
As the most famous jewelry store in the city, the grandeur of Jinxin Building is naturally needless to say.
Most of the people who choose jewelry here are successful people in suits and leather shoes, or beautiful women with good looks. It's more about well-dressed couples.
People like Yang Zhen who are dressed in T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers can hardly see the second one.
However, Yang Zhen is not here to compare with others. When I sank down, I began to watch along the counter one by one.
The first thing to look at is naturally the price of the diamond ring, and then the style.
After all, he only has 12,000 yuan in his bank card, which exceeds this price, no matter how good the style is, no matter how much he likes it, it is useless.
You can't always rob openly.
After carefully selecting for more than an hour, under the smiling service of the sales lady, Yang Zhen finally bought a platinum diamond ring.
The size of the diamond is 50 points, which is 0.5 carats.
According to the sales lady, this is the choice of most men who propose marriage.
The price is not outrageous, the diamond is not too small, and it will not be very embarrassing to take it out and propose.
The ring is in 18k white gold.
The price is 9999 yuan.
Yang Zhen tried to pay back a little price, but the sales lady smiled and wiped out his attempt.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the bank's diamond jewelry, no counteroffer, besides, the price you fancy this 9999 yuan, symbolizes that you and your lover have a long relationship, counteroffer, I don't think it's very auspicious, what do you think?"
The price didn't have to be returned, so Yang Zhen simply paid the money, waited for the packaging of the ring to be good, and then took it and left.
After a delay here for more than an hour, it was almost half past four, and Zhou Ying was about to get off work. Once she was off work, he didn't know where to look for her.
When the time comes, if she calls and she doesn't answer like she did in the morning, today's plan will be over.
It's rare to make up his mind to propose today, Yang Zhen doesn't want to wait until tomorrow, if he doesn't say it, he will have to suffer one more night.
All night wondering if she would agree to his marriage proposal tomorrow, it was not a pleasant thing. That torture was great.
……
With both anticipation and apprehension, Yang Zhen came out of the gate of Jinxin Jewelry Store, stopped a taxi, and told the driver the company address where Zhou Ying worked.
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped outside the gate of Zhonghai TV Station, and before getting out of the car, Yang Zhen felt anxiously and touched the diamond ring box in the pocket of his jeans.
Then he took out his wallet, paid for the car, and got out of the car.
As soon as Yang Zhen got out of the car, the taxi drove away, leaving Yang Zhen alone and standing alone in the square in front of the gate of the huge Zhonghai TV station with a large bouquet of roses.
Behind him are vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, there are many cars parked in the square, TV station buses, private cars, as well as battery cars and motorcycles, everything is available, and bicycles are also available.
At first glance, this square is a large parking lot.
Perhaps, this is not necessarily the parking lot of China Overseas TV in the first place.
All in all, there are a lot of cars parked here, but very few people.
So Yang Zhen stood alone at the edge of the square, looking a little lonely.
I took out my phone in my pocket and glanced at the time on the phone screen - it was 4:27.
In 3 minutes, the TV station will be off work.
As long as Zhou Ying doesn't work overtime tonight, she will be able to see her immediately.
Yang Zhen took two deep breaths a little nervously, and subconsciously wanted to find a cigarette to relieve the tension in his heart.
But as soon as I touched my body, I remembered that when I went out, I forgot to bring a cigarette and a lighter.
At this time, it looks like the TV station is about to get off work. He didn't have time to go to a nearby store to buy it.
Bear with me!
Enduring his addiction to smoking, Yang Zhen looked at the somewhat old door of the TV station and slowly adjusted his breathing.
He didn't want to be nervous when he appeared in front of Zhou Ying for a while.
Because he knew that once he was nervous, today's initiative would be completely in Zhou Ying's hands, and at that time, no matter how she decided, it would be difficult for him to change it.
