Chapter 15: Picking a Gift
"Xia Guodong, if you are a little promising, will things turn out like this? The old lady has paid for this family all these years, and I haven't seen you praise it once, and now you just forgot to buy a gift for the old immortal, and you began to scold the old lady. Let me tell you Xia Guodong, who gave you the courage? Is it really easy to bully an old lady? ”
In this family, Lu Yan is an overlord-like existence, on weekdays, only she scolds, how can others have the opportunity to scold her.
The gift was not prepared, and Lu Yan originally felt a trace of guilt in her heart, but Xia Guodong's scolding words once again hooked Lu Yan's temper that she had finally suppressed.
"And you, are your wings stiff, and now even your mother dares to scold, the old lady chose so many excellent men, but in the end, the old immortal insisted on letting you marry this waste, if it weren't for him, our Xia family would be like this?"
A person like Lu Yan, once her temper broke out, she no longer had any scruples, and after she counted Xia Guodong, she turned the finger to Xia Xueyi.
However, when she said Li Jiu, she subconsciously glanced at Li Jiu, but fortunately, Li Jiu was not angry, and Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, a trace of fear surged up in her heart.
"Idiot, long hair and short knowledge, you were miserable this time!"
In terms of quarrels, Xia Guodong was not Lu Yan's opponent at all, and he could only keep repeating the same words.
"Dad, don't be too anxious, I'll go to my friends and ask now to see if I can find a suitable gift!"
Xia Xueyi knew that it would not make sense to reason with Lu Yan, and now that the matter had come to this, it was useless to continue to entangle.
The plan for now is to find the right gift as soon as possible, and when she said this, Xia Xueyi had already begun to take out her mobile phone and send messages to her friends.
"Right...... Yes, Xiaoxue, you're right, I remember I have a friend who likes to collect antiques, I'm going to ask him! ”
After Xia Guodong heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his originally dull eyes, and while speaking, he also took out his mobile phone and began to connect.
"It's really a waste, it's a shame that you are the son of the Xia family, you have no ability at all, and you are a waste!"
After saying this, Lu Yan turned around and went back to the bedroom directly.
The gift Xia Guodong has already chosen, it is a pair of jasper unicorns, but in order to have enough grades, Xia Guodong chose the best jadeite, which needs to be customized.
Lu Yan originally went to the store to pick up the goods in the morning, but because of Xia Shu's matter, Lu Yan was delayed, and by the time she passed in the afternoon, the things had already been bought by others at a high price.
Lu Yan also knows a little about the situation of the Xia family, Lu Yan knows very well that she is at fault in this matter, but people like her are the most blameless, and she is reluctant to say it because of Xia Shu.
Xia Guodong's sentence of "idiot" made her feel very aggrieved, and her anger was immediately aroused.
Now that she has been scolded, the steps are also given to herself, so after Lu Yan returned to the bedroom, although she was still a little unhappy in her heart, she still contacted her good sister on weekdays to ask for help.
However, her friends can play cards to show off their wealth, and it is absolutely impossible to help.
In the living room, Natsuki has also left.
Xia Xueyi and Xia Guodong called from time to time, but every time they hung up the phone, their expressions gradually dimmed.
Li Jiu saw all this clearly, every time Xia Xueyi hung up the phone, the pain in his heart would worsen.
Li Jiu wanted to help very much, but he needed to be very careful in choosing a gift, for such a big birthday banquet, if the gift was not chosen properly, or the grade was not enough, it would only make Xia Xueyi ugly in the end, and the result would be worse.
"That's right, Wang Hang!"
Suddenly, Li Jiu's heart was shocked, and he thought of Wang Hang, the president of Huamin Bank.
Wang Hang was originally a person from the upper class of Qingzhou, and he definitely had more experience in this area than Li Jiu.
"Dad, my friends don't have any suitable gifts."
At this time, Xia Xueyi had already asked all her friends.
Although Xia Xueyi was born in the Xia family, she is different from ordinary wealthy girls, she rarely goes to wealthy banquets, and most of the friends she knows are born ordinary, and no one can help her in this matter.
"Hey, it seems that God is on the side of the second child, but I will suffer you in the future!"
Xia Guodong also stopped the movement in his hand, he let out a long sigh, and then sat down on the sofa, when he said this, his whole spirit suddenly withered, as if he was more than ten years old in an instant.
"I have a classmate, maybe he can help!"
Li Jiu had already thought of the wording at this time, he glanced at Xia Xueyi, who was pale, and spoke.
"At this time, don't make a fuss, if you are a little promising, Xiaoxue doesn't have to work so hard, and our Xia family won't be like this!"
Xia Guodong obviously didn't believe Li Jiu's words, his seventieth birthday was very important to the Xia family, and the old man valued it very much, so the gift to the old man should not only be of high grade, but also have a good meaning.
As the eldest son of Xia Lao, the gift chosen by Xia Guodong should not only not be too expensive, nor too cheap, but more importantly, the meaning should be good, and it should contain Xia Guodong's intentions.
If it is too expensive, it is suspected of borrowing money from the company, if it is cheap, the grade is not high, and if it is not good, it is not enough.
The unicorn is originally a rui beast, representing longevity and peace.
Jade represents beauty and nobility.
The combination of the two has the meaning of wishing the old man a long life and the Xia family being safe and beautiful, which can perfectly express his intentions. That's why Xia Guodong asked Lu Yan to prepare the jasper unicorn in the first place.
"It seems that the luck is not in me, but it is difficult for Xiaoxue to you!"
Xia Guodong seemed to be saying to Xia Xueyi, or talking to himself.
"Huh?"
Xia Xueyi frowned slightly, then turned her head to look at Li Jiu.
Li Jiu had already given her a surprise today, so she didn't disbelieve Li Jiu's words, but she didn't believe it either, but there was a trace of expectation in her eyes when she looked at Li Jiu.
Li Jiu didn't explain, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed it to Wang Hang.
"Brother Jiu, there are too many things to pay attention to, you are for the elders, then it is even more exquisite, I have expensive things here, but they are not worthy of your identity, if you give it out, it will not be good."
The phone was quickly dialed, and when he heard Li Jiu's question clearly, Wang Hang gave a direct answer and began to explain the importance of gift-giving.
"Can you help?"
As a Mr. Yin and Yang, Li Jiu knows more than many people that giving gifts is nothing more than expressing psychological things with things.
What Wang Hang said was complete nonsense for Li Jiu, so as soon as Wang Hang opened his mouth, Li Jiu was a little displeased.
"I don't lack things, if Brother Jiu likes it, I'll send it to Brother Jiu now. However, I suggest that Brother Jiu find Uncle Zhao, where is his taste, his taste is higher than mine, and there must be something that is most suitable for Brother Jiu's needs! ”
Sensing Li Jiu's displeasure, Xiang Wanghang didn't dare to talk nonsense.
After all, Li Jiu is now the chairman of Huamin Bank, and he is just the president of a branch in a small Qingzhou City, if he offends Li Jiu because of this incident and loses his job, it is definitely the least cost-effective thing for him.
Although Wang Hang didn't say it directly, Li Jiu knew very well that the Uncle Zhao he was talking about was Zhao Wenliang, and Li Jiu subconsciously touched the business card he put in his pocket.
Although he has not known Zhao Wenliang for much time, from Wang Hang's attitude and tone, Li Jiu can conclude that Zhao Wenliang's identity is unusual.
Today, Li Jiu saw that he was sick, and he could be regarded as doing Zhao Wenliang a favor, and he knew very well that if he asked Zhao Wenliang for help, Zhao Wenliang would help him nine times out of ten.
But in this way, Li Jiu will owe Zhao Wenliang a favor.
Mr. Yin and Yang, the most taboo thing is human affection.
The so-called favor is cause and effect, if Zhao Wenliang helped Li Jiu, then Li Jiu inherited Zhao Wenliang's cause, so that Li Jiu must return Zhao Wenliang a result.
This is definitely one of the least cost-effective things for Li Jiu.
If it was his own business, Li Jiu would never ask Zhao Wenliang for help, but now it is Xia Xueyi who has something to do, and he will definitely do anything for Xia Xueyi.
Thinking of this, Li Jiu hung up Wang Hang's phone, then put his hand in his pocket and took out his business card.
At the moment when his finger was about to touch the business card, Li Jiu's heart was shocked, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yes, I am from Guigumen, and I have an immortal seal in my hand, since the Xia family is going to be among the wealthy families in Qingzhou, what else can be as important to them as the immortal seal?"
At this moment, Li Jiu thought of the record left by his grandfather in his bag.
The Immortal Seal, a seal represents one thing, as soon as the Immortal Seal falls, no matter who gets it, the people of Guigumen will help him once, this gift is definitely more than anything else.
