Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Treasure of the Town Store?
After all, a string of evenly colored Buddha beads, the jade on it is also from the same piece of jade material.
In this case, the price of jade must be extremely high.
Gently picked up the expectation in the box, the old shopkeeper's rough fingers rubbed gently, and there seemed to be some complicated thoughts in his eyes.
After a moment, he sighed lightly, and then put the Buddhist beads in his hand back into the brocade box, with some reluctance in the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
Guan Yasheng looked at the old shopkeeper's gaze, and paid more attention to the Buddhist beads in front of him.
"Sir, what is the history of this Buddha bead?" Guan Yasheng glanced at the old shopkeeper carefully, and there was a faint temptation in his clear eyes.
Listening to Guan Yasheng's words, the old shopkeeper also looked away from the brocade box in front of him, and nodded with a smile, "This piece of jade has been with me for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the treasure of the town." ”
The old shopkeeper's voice was light, but Sekiya heard a hint of emotion in his voice.
Obviously, the origin of this piece of jade is probably not as ordinary as she sees it.
But...... Even if the jade is a good jade, if it is really so precious, she really can't afford it.
"Old man, but this jade is good, but I'm afraid I don't have anything to do with it." As he spoke, Seki Yayoi smiled regretfully at the old shopkeeper in front of him.
Looking at Guan Yasheng's reaction, the old shopkeeper had a trace of thought in his eyes, and then shook his head with a smile: "Girl, if you are worried about the price, don't worry, I can guarantee the quality of this string of jade Buddha beads, and the price is only 20,000." ”
"Twenty thousand?!" Guan Yasheng listened to the words of the old shopkeeper, and finally couldn't help but exhale softly, looked at the old shopkeeper, and then looked at the Buddha beads in front of him, with some disbelief in his eyes.
Not to mention anything else, even if it is a jade Buddha bead of uneven color, 20,000 should not be able to come down, let alone this Buddha bead of uniform color.
The old shopkeeper looked at Guan Yasheng, who was shocked in front of him, just smiled lightly, and slowly pushed the brocade box in his hand towards Guan Yasheng: "Yes, only 20,000." ”
Listening to the old shopkeeper's calm tone, Guan Yasheng carefully looked at the emotions on the shopkeeper's face, obviously the other party didn't mean to joke.
Guan Yasheng frowned, looked at the old gentleman in front of him and said, "Old man, this Buddha bead shouldn't be just this price, right?" ”
"It's not just the price." As he spoke, the old shopkeeper gently touched the box in front of him, and the smile on his face seemed to carry a faint memory, "But this Buddha bead was originally not for sale, if you can find a suitable person for it, it can be regarded as giving it a good home." ”
"Old man, why don't you tell me about this approximate price, although you say so, I don't need to let you suffer, after all, you also want to do business, right?" Guan Yasheng said, smiling slightly at the old man in front of him, smiling brightly, with a hint of seriousness.
The old shopkeeper looked at Guan Yasheng in front of him, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally he just smiled and shook his head, but his gaze was already gentle: "No, girl, you don't have to have any pressure, spinach green is not so valuable, and I didn't let you take advantage of this price." ”
Sekiya listened to the old man's words and wanted to say something, but the old shopkeeper just waved his hand casually, obviously having made up his mind.
With a light sigh, Guan Yasheng no longer shirked the old man in front of him, thanked him, and then took the brocade box in front of him.
"Thank you, sir." Guan Yasheng said, and opened a bright smile at the old man, and his delicate little face seemed to be soaked in spring light for a moment, as if it brought a little warmth to the air.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, the old shopkeeper just smiled and nodded, and waited until Guan Yayoi left the store completely, and then the old shopkeeper walked to the phone on the side and dialed a number.
After a few blind sounds, the old man also laughed and cursed.
"Stinky boy, the Buddha beads you asked me to send out have also been sent out, and I have seen the girl, she is a good boy, don't bully others."
……
At this time, Gu Xingpei was sitting in the office, holding the mobile phone that had just been hung up, and on the desktop in front of him was an invitation to the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Chen family.
There was not a trace of emotional fluctuations on the angular Jun face, and there was a complex brilliance in his deep eyes.
A moment later, a faint knock on the door sounded in Gu Xingpei's office, accompanied by Cheng Lingsu's voice.
"Mr. Gu."
Listening to the sound outside the door, Gu Xingpei put down the phone in his hand, and his thin lips coldly turned out two words: "Come in." ”
Gu Xingpei's voice fell, and the closed door also opened, Cheng Lingsu walked in with the documents, and walked directly in front of Gu Xingpei, her delicate little face still had her usual coldness, as if the previous conflicts and contradictions no longer existed.
"Mr. Gu, there's a message from Chen's side, asking you about tomorrow's birthday banquet." Cheng Lingsu stood in front of Gu Xingpei, his expression was still faint, calm like a pool of stagnant water, as if no matter what Gu Xingpei left behind, it would be difficult to make a trace of waves in it.
"Tell them I'll be there tomorrow on time." Gu Xingpei's indifferent voice sounded, but it made Cheng Lingsu's body pause, and then looked at Gu Xingpei with a touch of disapproval in his eyes.
Zhu lips pursed, Cheng Lingsu stood in place, just hanging his head slightly, but this time he didn't say any opinions.
Gu Xingpei looked at the woman in front of him, but raised his eyes lazily, and his thin lips opened lightly: "You go with me." ”
The cold voice sounded slowly, making Cheng Lingsu's body pause, and suddenly raised her eyes, and met Gu Xingpei's dark eyes, just a glance, she immediately looked away, but the shock in her eyes couldn't hide it in the end, and it was completely exposed for a while.
Gu Xingpei looked at the shock in Cheng Lingsu's eyes, his expression was still light, and he didn't seem to have the slightest surprise at her reaction.
Pursing his lips, Cheng Lingsu stood in place, looking at the man in front of him, after a moment of stagnation, his face immediately hung with the original coldness and indifference, and he just spoke softly, and all his emotions were hidden in his words, "Mr. Gu, Chen's side said that there was Miss Guan." ”
"I told you to come with me." Gu Xingpei just repeated it lightly, and at the same time frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Lingsu's question.
Listening to Gu Xingpei's words, Cheng Lingsu's eyes flashed slightly, as if they were thoughtful, but they were still well hidden.
He bowed slightly towards Gu Xingpei, with respect, "Okay, I'll go down and prepare." ”
"Hmm." Gu Xingpei listened to Cheng Lingsu's words and retracted his gaze slightly, his thin lips coldly spit out a word, and then he turned his attention back to the document in front of him.
Exiting Gu Xingpei's office, the calmness and coldness on Cheng Lingsu's face also slightly cracked, a faint ripple appeared in his indifferent eyes, his lips raised a slight arc, and the corners of his mouth had an indifferent smile.
Instead of returning to his office, Cheng Lingsu directly dialed a phone number, and then walked towards the outside of the company......
Sekiya sat in his bachelor apartment, looking at the gifts and dresses that had been prepared in front of him, his fingers clenching his mobile phone tightly, and there was a touch of sadness in his clear eyes.
"Ahhhh Guan Yasheng irritably hung the pillow next to him, swiped his fingers on the mobile phone screen, and finally buried his face in the pillow irritably.
Just now she had already learned from the old lady that Gu Xingpei would also be in attendance, but so far, she had not received any news from Gu Xingpei.
It stands to reason that the two of them should not have discussed it a day in advance when they attended together?
Thinking about it, Guan Yasheng scratched his head, and the irritability in his heart became a little stronger.
Burying his head in the pillow, Guan Yasheng took a deep breath, and almost when he was about to suffocate, he raised his head suddenly, with a firmness on his palm-sized face, as if he had made some major decision, and directly grabbed the mobile phone next to him.
His fingers hesitated slightly, but finally pressed the familiar string of numbers.
After a few blind sounds, the man's low, magnetic voice sounded in his ears, with a sense of indifference and coldness.
Just as soon as he spoke, Guan Yasheng's mood had already dropped a lot.
"Something?"
Listening to Gu Xingpei's words, Guan Yasheng opened his mouth, but finally took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "Well, I heard that you also accepted the invitation of the old lady of the Chen family?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Xingpei's thin lips opened lightly, and he spit out a word lightly.
Guan Yasheng listened to Gu Xingpei's indifferent syllable, did not speak, but waited quietly for the rest of the text.
But the other side seems to ...... He didn't plan to talk more, and he didn't mean to invite her to go with him.
Guan Yasheng didn't speak, Gu Xingpei's thin lips opened lightly, and there was some dissatisfaction in his voice: "Something else?" ”
"You ......" Guan Yasheng said with a slight pause, bit his finger crampedly, opened his mouth tactfully, and said tentatively, "Who are you going with?" ”
Gu Xingpei couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Guan Yasheng's words, and the coldness in his tone seemed to have decreased a lot.
But this didn't wait for Guan Yasheng's nerves to relax, Gu Xingpei's words directly made Guan Yasheng's expression stiffen on his face: "Follow my assistant, Cheng Lingsu." ”
"......" Seki blinked as he listened to the familiar name in his ear to make sure he had heard correctly.
"What's the problem?"
"It's okay." The smile on the corner of Guan Yasheng's mouth stiffened a little, and even he himself felt the reluctance, and even the laughter was a lot fake, "Haha, I thought that someone like you would have no one to accompany you." ”
Listening to Guan Yasheng's words, Gu Xingpei's tone was still light: "Don't bother, you'd better worry about yourself." ”
"Of course I don't have to worry." Guan Yasheng said, deliberately raising his tone a few degrees, "There are too many people who want to accompany this beauty to attend, Gu Shao is still worried about himself." ”
Guan Yasheng's voice fell, and before she could say anything, the phone in her ear had been hung up, and there was an intermittent blind sound in her ear, which also made the expression on her face freeze directly on her face.
