Under Hao Desheng's unified planning, coordination, and arrangement, the adults of Mengdu and Liping families carried out the preparations for the wedding of the couple in an orderly manner.

And, everything is going well!

Let's talk about Zhang Xueru's side first, since Zhang Xueru made a special trip to Hao Desheng's office to ask for advice, he immediately went to the street to turn around several high-grade electrical shopping malls and watch stores, and bought the iphone6 iPhone and iPad tablet suggested by Hao Desheng, and the Swiss-made Inag watch;

Then I booked a drum washing machine, refrigerator, disinfection cabinet, etc. from the home appliance store;

Finally, I went to the most upscale bedding store in the provincial capital and bought two sets of bright red and joyful quilt covers, bed sheets, pillowcases, and two innocent silk quilts.

After all the dowries in the planned purchase were purchased, the expenses were summed up, and sure enough, it was surprisingly consistent with Director Hao's budget last time:

$131,628!

What about the mayor's wife?

In order to buy authentic SH Old Town God's Temple jewelry, Hao Desheng made a special call to a friend of SH.

SH's friend, surnamed Chen, also works in a government department and is in a position in charge of market management.

Hao Desheng asked the friend surnamed Chen if he could take some time to accompany his old chief's wife, Vice Mayor Wang's wife, to personally go to the SH Old Town God's Temple to purchase a set of gold, jade, and diamond jewelry.

Generally speaking, between the government departments of various provinces and municipalities in China, whether it is daily work or personal exchanges, they have contacts with each other and take care of each other.

What's more, Hao Desheng is now working in the general office of the municipal government in the provincial capital, whether it is a domestic guest or a foreign guest, the affairs to be sent to him are within the scope of his responsibility.

Therefore, after years of accumulation, Hao Desheng has established a friendship relationship with the relevant departments of the provincial and municipal governments, which is absolutely first-class!

It is conceivable that after receiving Hao Desheng's special call, SH's friend surnamed Chen naturally agreed to Hao Desheng's request.

In order to reassure Vice Mayor Wang and the mayor's wife, after Hao Desheng arranged his work, he deliberately took a weekend to arrange a "Land Rover" off-road vehicle and personally accompanied the mayor's wife to SH.

The car departed from the provincial capital at half past nine on Saturday morning and ran on the highway for seven or eight hours straight. It was only when it was dark that the Land Rover arrived in SH.

In order not to disturb SH's friend surnamed Chen too much, Hao Desheng had arranged a life secretary of the office before leaving the provincial capital, and booked a hotel in SH in advance.

Therefore, after arriving at SH that night, Hao Desheng did not go to a friend surnamed Chen.

The next morning, Hao Desheng called the friend surnamed Chen, and asked the friend surnamed Chen to the hotel where he lived, and after meeting with the mayor's wife, Hao Desheng, the mayor's wife, the friend surnamed Chen, plus the "Land Rover" driver, a group of four people got on the off-road vehicle, turned left and right, and after several rounds, soon arrived at the famous SH Old Town God's Temple.

After arriving at the destination, Hao Desheng asked the driver Xiao Jiang to find a place to park, and then accompanied the mayor's wife, under the guidance of Mr. Chen, at about half past ten, entered a time-honored "Lao Fengxiang" gold and silver jewelry store in the old city God's Temple.

After entering the gold shop, Mr. Chen led the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng directly to the counter selling diamond jewelry.

Before the National Day, it is the peak season for gold and silver jewelry sales.

I saw that in front of the diamond jewelry counter, there was a bustling flow of people, you pushed me, and the rows of lights illuminated the commodity counters, which were surrounded by water!

"Come, come, borrow light, everyone, please borrow light!"

It can be seen that Mr. Chen of SH is obviously an acquaintance who often comes to the old temple.

Mr. Chen led the way in front, gently flicking the arms of some customers who were crowded in front of the counter just looking at them and not buying, saying "borrow light" while politely asking them to give way.

After a while, Mr. Chen led Hao Desheng and the mayor's wife to the diamond jewelry counter.

Come to the front of the counter and look inside the counter:

Wow——!

Under the golden and clear light, I saw that in the jewelry counter, various styles of diamond jewelry were carefully placed on the crimson gold velvet bottom plate, which was dazzling, golden and attractive!

Among the diamond jewelry, which is set in various colors and weights, there are dozens of very beautiful pure gold necklaces.

These gold necklaces are all of the thickness of rice noodles, which gives people a heavy feeling.

Underneath each gold necklace hangs the peach-shaped locks that are often seen on television and worn on the chests by ethnic minority girls, or the "heart" shape.

The heart locks the head, especially inlaid with a glittering gemstone, there is red, blue, dark green, golden yellow, all the gems are full of pride, the light is compelling!

Next to the gold necklace with the thickness of rice thread, there are also many earrings that are as thick as silk threads and are made in various petal shapes.

On the earrings, there are also hanging crystal gemstones of various colors with six glittering sides, which are delicate and beautiful, small and compact!

In addition to gold necklaces and earrings, there are also a variety of gold rings on the counter.

Gold rings are round, square, kidney-shaped, and leek leaf-shaped.

The texture of a gold ring is either a yellow gold backing or a white gold backing;

The gold ring is also inlaid with a variety of gemstones, which are exquisitely shaped and equal to each other!

Underneath the exquisite, breathtaking gold, silver and gemstone jewellery are neatly placed price tags with black letters on a white background and a slightly larger thumb.

The mayor's wife carefully inspected the price on the price list, but if the jewel was set with diamonds weighing more than one carat, the unit price was at least 28,000 yuan.

The price of jewelry weighing more than 1.5 carats, 2 carats, and 2.5 carats is even more expensive: the price is 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, or even more than 100,000 or 200,000!

Next, a friend surnamed Chen led the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng to the jade counter to inspect, the bracelets, pendants, rings, jade ruyi and other materials from the authentic origin of "Hetian jade", "Burmese jade", "QH jade" and other materials placed in the counter are also red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, milky white and other varieties are complete, jade is shiny, noble and elegant!

The price ranges from 5,000 to 30,000, 50,000, 80,000, or even hundreds of thousands!

Standing in front of the jade jewelry counter, I don't know what kind of mentality, the mayor's wife deliberately looked at an emerald jade bracelet in the counter, this bracelet is basically similar to the one given to him by Boss Jiang of the provincial Huayuan Construction Company last time, and the price marked on it is: 58,888 yuan!

Wow——!

I can't imagine that such a jade bracelet is so expensive!

The mayor's wife couldn't help but stick out her tongue and shook her head secretly.

The mayor's wife thought to herself, today, the jade bracelet will not be bought here!

After you go back, you just need to transfer the emerald bracelet that Boss Jiang gave you to Liping!

In this way, you can spend at least 60,000 less!

The mayor's wife looked at the various jewelry on the counter and began to think about today's purchase plan.

At the same time, she subconsciously quietly touched the Kun bag in her hand, as if she wanted to touch her bank card in the Kun bag and estimate whether the amount on the bank card was enough.

After touching the bag, the mayor's wife returned to the pure gold and gemstone jewelry counter and carefully inspected the various jewelry placed on the counter.

"Director Hao, could you please ask Mrs. Wang? See which pieces of jewelry she has chosen. If you choose well, give me a list of the various jewelry you like, and I can discuss it with the store owner and ask him to approve an internal preferential price. ”

Mr. Chen, who was SH, patiently accompanied the mayor's wife, and after turning around in front of the various counters for an hour, he estimated that the mayor's wife had almost made a choice, and then spoke to Hao Desheng, who had been following the mayor's wife.

"Well, okay, please wait a minute."

Hao Desheng nodded at Mr. Chen, then turned to the mayor's wife and said:

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, have you chosen which jewelry you want to buy?"

When Hao Desheng asked the mayor's wife, he deliberately used his body to block the crowded crowd next to him, for fear that they would collide with the mayor's wife.

Then, Hao Desheng approached the ear of the mayor's wife, lowered his voice and said to her:

"Mr. Chen just said, if you choose well, we will make a list, and then, Mr. Chen will go to the owner of this jewelry store. He will ask the store owner to settle the bill according to the internal preferential price. ”

"Oh, alright, alright! Come, Xiao Hao, you can take a pen and help me remember it. ”

The mayor's wife nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Mr. Chen with a pleasant gaze, which meant to thank him.

Then, the mayor's wife stood in front of the solid gold and diamond jewelry counter and began to choose her favorite jewelry.

At first, the mayor's wife wanted to choose a gold underpinned with a five-carat heart lock, and she felt that Mr. Chen of SH was by her side, in case the price of the jewelry she chose was low, she was worried that Mr. Chen would look down on her.

After hesitating for a moment, the mayor's wife was ruthless, pointed to a heart lock inlaid with two-carat diamonds, and quoted the name, model and price;

She then handpicked a pair of yellow gold gemstone earrings, a women's platinum diamond ring, and a men's platinum diamond ring.

Hao Desheng knew that this pair of platinum diamond rings was a token of love given by the mayor's wife to her son and daughter-in-law at the wedding.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, do you need to choose a few pieces of jewelry over the jade counter?"

After Hao Desheng registered the gold, platinum and diamond jewelry purchased by the mayor's wife, he gently reminded her.

"Oh, you don't have to buy jade. I plan to give Liping a jade bracelet, however, there is a ready-made jade bracelet at home, which is also a high-end jade. It was a few years ago, I asked a friend to bring it from Kunming, brand new, and I never wore it. After I went back, I gave the jade bracelet to Liping. ”

The mayor's wife explained her meaning to Hao Desheng.

"Well, okay. Mrs. Sister-in-law, will we choose these today? ”

Hao Desheng once again confirmed the jewelry he had just purchased to the mayor's wife.

"That's enough, it's a lot of money!"

The mayor's wife avoided Mr. Chen and whispered, somewhat distressedly, to Hao Desheng.

"Well, okay. Then I'll give the list to Mr. Chen. ”

Hao Desheng nodded to the mayor's wife, then took two steps to the side, handed the list in his hand to Mr. Chen, and said very politely:

"Mr. Chen, the jewelry has been chosen. Mrs. Wang said, buy these today. Would you like to go find the owner of the gold shop? ”

"No problem, please wait a moment."

Mr. Chen took the note handed by Hao Desheng, walked quickly to the cash register, and whispered something to a salesperson inside in front of a small locked door about one meter wide about the height of the counter.

The salesman immediately took the key to open the lock, quickly opened the small sliding door, and very politely invited Mr. Chen in.

When Mr. Chan entered the counter, the salesperson closed the door again and locked the padlock.

Immediately afterwards, he guided Mr. Chen along the passage in the counter to the manager's office, which was invisible to customers.

"Xiao Hao, the jewelry here is really beautiful, but the price is too expensive!"

While waiting for Mr. Chen to negotiate the price with the owner of the gold shop, the mayor's wife looked at the splendid jewelry counter for a while, and expressed her inner feelings to Hao Desheng with great emotion.

"Yes, when I made the list just now, I did some mental calculations, and it was about 250,000!"

Hao Desheng nodded at the mayor's wife and replied.

"No wonder someone has said in the past, well, what? Oh, by the way, it's called: 'If you don't go to Guangzhou, you don't know how much money you have; I don't know if I don't know the official until BJ; I don't know if I'm not in good health until SH'! Looking at it now, it's not just 'I don't know if I'm not in SH anymore', but I also have to add a sentence called 'I don't know how much money is less when I don't get to SH'! You say, don't you?

Fortunately, the balance on the bank card I brought exceeded 250,000. Otherwise, I will be out of the world today! ”

The mayor's wife sighed with infinite emotion, and then said to Hao Desheng:

"Now, you know why I didn't buy a jade bracelet, right? When it comes to SH's money, it doesn't seem to be money! ”

"Yes, Lao Fengxiang's things are very expensive! However, Lao Fengxiang's jewelry workmanship is indeed exquisite and beautiful! ”

Hao Desheng said, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the various golden and magnificent jewelry on the counter.

After looking at it for a while, he turned around and asked the mayor's wife:

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, if you still want to buy any jewelry, money is not a problem. Today, I also brought some money with me, you see, that emerald jade bracelet, did you buy it? ”

"Don't buy it, don't buy it."

The mayor's wife shook her head again and again to deny Hao Desheng's proposal.

Then, the mayor's wife suddenly remembered that Hao Desheng's son, Hao Min, was about the same age as Meng. Does Hao Desheng also want to buy some jewelry for his son?

So, the mayor's wife asked Hao Desheng with concern:

"Hey, Xiao Hao, since you have money with you, why don't you buy some jewelry for Hao Min? Take this opportunity to ask Mr. Chen to get an internal price! ”

"Hey, my son, he's not serious all day long. You see, he has a unit, but he never goes to work well. Originally, wouldn't it be nice to arrange him to work in the Municipal Health Bureau? He just wanted to open a clothing store with his girlfriend, that is, with that Shi Xiaochun. also said that when the clothing store made money, he would resign; What did he say, it is better to be a civil servant now than to be self-employed. What age is this, and he is still looking at civil servants from the point of view of the eighties of the last century.

Mrs. Sister-in-law remember, right? In the late 80s of the last century, when self-employed people in Guangzhou were educating their children at home, they often said, "You don't study hard, do you?" If you don't have the ability in the future, you will be asked to become a civil servant! ”

"Isn't it? At that time, self-employed people were all very good! ”

After being reminded by Hao Desheng, the mayor's wife remembered the social trend and secular concepts of the year, and said with emotion:

"You say that the development of this society is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi! Hey, Hao Min and Xiaochun's clothing store, how is business now? ”

"What else? I can't earn 3,000 yuan a month, so let's just eat! Look at my Hao Min, who doesn't do anything serious, and mixes with Shi Xiaochun all day long. I asked them when they planned to get married, what did you hear Hao Min say? He said that he and Koharu were going to try to marry for a while, and if they felt it was suitable, they would go to register their marriage. ”

"Trial marriage? Oh, young people now, I've convinced them! Many of their thoughts and practices are really incomprehensible! ”

The mayor's wife sighed deeply and said after a while:

"Don't talk about your Hao Min, my precious son, isn't it the same? I used to fall in love with other girls, and I saw that they had a very good relationship, but they didn't marry others, saying that love and marriage must be separated, and marriage can't be made a grave of love!

And last time, I asked you to help him introduce Caiyun, the daughter of the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, a college student culture, and our family is a good match, what a good marriage!

He suspected that the girl was not beautiful and not developed, so he insisted on not talking to Caiyun! It's okay, this time he took a fancy to Zhang Liping, and he took a fancy to a satisfactory girl! He and Liping got married early, and it was a matter of mine that was on my mind. Otherwise, God knows how he's going to toss around it! ”

"Well, Mrs. Sister-in-law, your dreams are much better than my unpromising son! Look at Liping in his photo, you have to have good looks, you have to have character, you have to be talented! I haven't reported to you in detail, isn't Liping working in the data room of the municipal government office? Her work level, ability, and especially the quality of her work are called beautiful! No matter what she does, as long as it is in her hands, she is always orderly, neat, and clean!

In their unit, whenever Liping's work is mentioned, no one doesn't give a thumbs up! ”

Taking advantage of this leisure, Hao Desheng boasted to the mayor's wife about her future daughter-in-law.

"Well, that's also the result of your care and help for her!"

The mayor's wife nodded in satisfaction.

While the two were talking, they saw Mr. Chen, who had gone to find the owner of the gold shop, come out of the small door he had just entered.

So, the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng stopped chatting.

"Mr. Chen, has the price been negotiated?"

When Hao Desheng saw Mr. Chen coming, he first glanced at the mayor's wife, and then turned to greet Mr. Chen.

"Well, it's been discussed, Director Hao, you see, the absolute internal price! All are converted at eighty-five. Well, before the discount, it was twenty-five thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight; After the discount, only 220,063 yuan and three cents will be charged. Erase the fraction again, and finally receive 220,000 yuan. A discount of 38,898 yuan. What do you think? ”

Mr. Chen used the shrewdness and delicacy unique to SH people, while calculating the prices before and after the discount to the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng, and at the same time handing Hao Desheng the list of prices that the owner of the gold shop had approved.

Between his words, Mr. Chan was marked with an element of boast and pride.

"Ouch, it's nearly 40,000 yuan off! Thank you, thank you so much! ”

After listening to Mr. Chen's calculations, Hao Desheng sincerely shook hands with him, and at the same time took the approval slip from the gold shop owner from him.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

The mayor's wife heard that the jewelry she bought was discounted by nearly 40,000 yuan, and she was also very happy to thank Mr. Chen.

"Oh, little things, little things, not worth mentioning. Madame Wang, this is what I have to do. Usually, when I go to your provincial capital to do anything, Director Hao will do his best to help me! ”

Mr. Chen nodded politely to the mayor's wife, and continued:

"Mrs. Wang, come, please come here to pay. You're bringing a bank card, right? ”

"Yes, I'm carrying a bank card."

The mayor's wife nodded to Mr. Chen.

Then, the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng followed Mr. Chen to the cash register of the gold store.
