Chapter 139: It's worth the trip
Yan Xuan's injury healed quickly, which was a bit unexpected. I don't know if it's because of the change in her physique after being reborn, or because she is young and has a good recovery ability. The day before the start of school, she went to the hospital to change her 'medicine', and the doctors were a little surprised to see how easily she walked.
The driver's license was successfully passed, and Yan Juan temporarily owned a "second-hand car". In the car, there is the smell left by Yan Yixin, and it is an automatic transmission, which is very easy to drive.
"You don't have to send me to school in the future!" Yan Juan happily 'fiddled' with her car.
"No, let's talk about it after a while." Yan Yixin shook his head and rejected her elation, "I will try my best to come over and send you to school, I am going to move tomorrow, I rented a floor in the building opposite the company, and the rent is split in half." β
"Okay." Yan Wan nodded in agreement, "It's closer to the school!" I don't have to wait for you in the evening, I can go back to cook dinner directly out of the company's big 'door'. β
"You're a ...... A very competent housewife. Yan Yixin was dumbfounded, "One thing, didn't you think of the surrounding shops like a forest, but actually cooking?" β
"You can wear two fewer clothes, but can you eat two fewer meals?" Yan Juan retorted confidently, "On the contrary, eating is a need of people's lives!" β
"Well, you have a point." Yan Yixin shook his head, "Anyway, I enjoy my mouth, and your diligence has only fulfilled me." β
Yan Juan smiled and was silent.
As a result, the happiest person to get this news was Liu Li.
"Really? Yan Juan, you've finally got the hang of it! Then I can go to your place every day to eat, and it's convenient to get through! β
Yan Juan was also sincerely moved by him, so he said very sincerely: "As long as you don't dislike my poor craftsmanship, I wholeheartedly welcome you." β
"And the good news, I just received an invitation." Liu Li's smile is very bright, it seems that he also regards eating as a top priority in life, "Yan Xuan, congratulations, you are invited to participate in the award ceremony of the Jewelry Association." β
"How long?" Yan Wan's reaction was to calculate the number of days off from school and company.
"The ceremony lasted only one day and was held in New York. However, you have to count the back and forth, it will probably take a day. Liu Li smiled and handed her a hot silver invitation. I don't know what technology was used, but the whole invitation looks very gorgeous.
"If I have a weekend, then I just need to take a day off."
"What's in your head?" Yan Yixin was dumbfounded, "When others have such an opportunity, they have long been happy that they can't find the north, you are still thinking about these details?" β
"How can it be a minutiae? It's okay to talk about the classes in school, but it's a big deal to let someone else roll call me for me. However, if the company takes a day off, it will not get the full attendance award. β
Liu Li's image was suddenly lost: "I really don't know what to say about you, the full attendance award is only six hundred a month, and you still look at it so closely."
"Of course! I didn't get it in August, and I was 'forced' by Yixin to take another vacation! Yan Juan thought of the six hundred yuan that Bai Fei had dropped, and his heart was a little distressed.
"Xiaocai 'fan', don't tell anyone that you know me in the future." Liu Li couldn't cry or laugh, "You got a bonus of 3,000 last month, right?" Plus your basic salary, it's six thousand, and you still have to stare at these six hundred? β
"Six hundred is also money, so I can buy a month's worth of food!" Yan Juan said with a smile, but he didn't really care about the loss of six hundred yuan.
The rent of the new apartment is surprisingly cheap, located in the center of the city, and a 100-square-meter house costs only 2,000. and to her head, only pay a thousand. For her current salary, it is completely affordable.
"Because the owner is going abroad, he leaves the house in vain and no one takes care of it, and he is afraid that it will not be the same when he comes back. So these rents are just a meaning, and I just picked up a bargain for nothing. Yan Yixin explained with a smile.
A day after Yan Juan moved over, he met a neighbor and was startled when he asked the price. The house type is exactly the same as hers, but the rent is 6,000.
"Isn't our rent too small?" Yan Juan was a little hesitant, "Isn't there anything weird in the house?" β
"What's weird?" Yan Yixin helped Yan Juan tidy up his things, and he already had a cup of steaming coffee at hand. Although it is still melted quickly, Yan Yixin is used to drinking it, and he actually feels that it is not unpleasant.
"For example...... Well, what's the ...... of a locked room murder or something," Yan Wan said with a slurring voice.
"Pounce!" Yan Yixin's sip of coffee couldn't help but spray onto her 'chest'. A pure cotton white T-shirt was stained with a little faded stain.
"You ......" Yan Juan glared at him angrily, "Coffee stains are difficult to wash, do you know it!" Fortunately, someone invented the 84 disinfectant, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wear this T-shirt. β
"The reason why August Fourth was invented is to cope with the current situation!" Yan Yixin said disapprehantly, "Besides, it's still your fault, who made you come up with such an unbelievable reason?" β
"But it's ridiculously cheap, the same house, why do others ask for 6,000, and ours only cost 2,000? A threefold difference! β
Yan Yixin's face flashed with a touch of unnaturalness, but he quickly said: "I said that people just want people to come and help look at the house, and they don't really expect to live on rent." β
"However, even if it is rented out at the market price, it will not burn your hands for a few thousand dollars? If this is really the reason, the people who rob this house will probably grab their heads and bleed, and they are still waiting for you and me to pick up this ready-made bargain? β
"Of course for a reason, the owner of the apartment is my friend. I wanted to give it to me for free, but I don't think you will accept it, so I can only negotiate a price that everyone is willing to accept. As for him, there are no special requirements, as long as the original structure of his house is not destroyed. β
"I see! Then I'm relieved, I've watched too many ghost movies, and I'm a little afraid that this house will be ghostly. If a headless 'female' ghost runs out in the middle of the night, and you're not there, I'm afraid I'll be scared to heart attack. Yan Juan smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, you've always been bold." Yan Yixin glanced at her with a smile, seeing that she believed her words, and immediately put her mind at ease, "I've been busy moving in the past two days, and there are a lot of things in the company, and there are still some things to add, why don't we go and see things now?" β
Yan Juan looked left and right at the house: "I can't think of anything else to add!" It's all ready-made. β
"Don't you want to buy quilt 'bed' sheets for sleep?" Yan Yixin reminded.
"Oh, yes, that's true." Yan Wan nodded, "Although I brought two sets over, I still have to change them after all." Then why don't you go and buy two more sets, just go to the supermarket and buy the thin ones. β
"Go to the specialty store and buy it, the quality is better there."
Yan Juan disagreed: "It's just that the material is a little better, it's as thick as a copper plate, and I have to work hard to wash it!" I saw that the bathroom had a washing machine with a capacity of four and a half kilograms. If it's that kind of thin cotton, one bucket can wash one set. If it's a good material, I'm afraid you have to wash it twice. β
Yan Yixin was helpless, "Wash it twice twice, anyway, you don't have to do it yourself!" β
"The 'wave' costs water and electricity are not counted, but the 'wave' consumes time!" Yan Juan pulled him out, "School is going to start tomorrow, buy things today, and save me from remembering tomorrow." ββ
"Okay." Yan Yixin looked at her 'legs' worriedly, "Do you feel uncomfortable walking?" β
"I'm all right, jumping around, no problem at all." Yan Juan even jumped twice on the spot, showing off his recovery.
drove Yan Yixin's car, so the final destination, of course, can only be decided by Yan Yixin. They went to a specialty store for 'bed' products, and Yan Juan was a little secretly surprised when he saw a set of prices that were often thousands of dollars.
Even if you weave silver thread, it's not worth such a high price, right?
However, Yan Yixin bought it confidently: "I still have to sleep there, of course it's mine." β
Yan Juan had no choice but to watch him pay.
When I came out with my bag, I saw that there was a jewelry store next door. There were many colored gems on display in the store, and Yan Xuan's feet were stuck at once.
"This shop specializes in colored 'colored' gemstones?" Yan Yixin smiled and took her hand, "Let's go, go in and have a look." After seeing the shape of these colored gemstones, you will have a lot of inspiration! β
Yan Juan smiled and nodded, she also had this intention.
"What kind of jewelry would you like to buy?" Is it a pendant or a ring? "The salesperson is very enthusiastic and has a smile on his face, making it difficult to say no.
"Let's see, it doesn't matter if it's suitable." Yan Yixin opened his mouth before Yan Juan spoke.
Although he wore a simple white shirt and navy blue 'color' Western-style trousers, his good upbringing was branded out of his blood. Even if the salesperson couldn't see the brand of his clothes, he instinctively felt his strength.
Therefore, the smile is even brighter: "Sir, miss, please see, this counter is full of tourmalines." As a kind of natural gemstone, regular wearing will produce a magnetic field on the human body, which is very good for people's health. β
Yan Wan smiled: "Almost all natural gemstones are more or less beneficial to the human body, right?" But it's not worth such groundless publicity, the effect is a little bit, but it has to be worn for a long time. Moreover, the effect will not be so great, and there is no scientific basis for ten percent so far. β
The salesman's smile was a little embarrassed, but soon brightened again: "Miss knows a lot, it's true." However, tourmaline is beautiful, isn't it? β
"Yes, indeed." Yan Juan didn't refute this time, and looked down at the tourmaline on the counter.
Most of them are peach tourmaline, and the clarity is not bad. But the price tag surprised Yan Juan. The same tourmaline was only sold for half the price at Yan's counter. And here it is grandly marked with a high price.
Yan Juan asked the salesman to take out a ring, and the 'gorgeous' beauty of the peach tourmaline was even more eye-catching under the 'radiation' of the strong light.
"Beautiful, isn't it? The young lady's fingers were thin and fair, which was just right for such a bright gemstone. The salesman spared no effort to preach.
"Is it discounted?" Yan Wanhu asked suspiciously.
"For ordinary customers, we give a 20% discount, if the lady is interested in buying, I can ask the manager for instructions, and give the lady a 7% discount, how about it? This is the price we offer to VIP members, and it couldn't be lower. If you go to another house, you can get a 85% discount. β
That's right, although when the Yan family has activities, they will also make a little fuss about the discount of colored 'color' gemstones, but at most it is only an eighty-five discount.
The problem is that after a seven-percent discount, the calculated price is still more expensive than Yan's original price!
Yan Wanshen was silent, and the salesman thought she was moved, so he immediately added strength: "Don't look at tourmaline is not a precious gem, but its 'color' is very special." In particular, this 'bright' red 'color' can be used as a fake 'mess' to really take it as a ruby. When the young lady drove it out, even if she said three times the price, others would not believe it! β
Yan Wan was dumbfounded, what is this? Is it the price she wears, not the gem itself? She shook her head: "Although the tourmaline has a good 'color', it is not worth so much price. If rubellite wants to pass off as a gemstone, it will not be able to meet the standard in hardness alone. What's more, although this tourmaline has a bright face, the fire cannot be faked. The fire that comes out of the ruby is bright red, but the tourmaline has a little pink red. β
The salesman was a little sneering: "Really? I didn't pay attention. β
"Tourmaline is tourmaline, it is loved by many people with its own unique bright color, which is also normal! At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was an avid fan of tourmaline. Moreover, she especially likes pink 'color' tourmaline and jadeite, but she treats them as guests. Therefore, gemstones are famous because of people, and if someone likes them, they will multiply their status. β
"That's a good thing to say." The salesperson completely forgot his responsibility to sell, but agreed with Yan Juan's opinion, "Tourmaline really doesn't have to counterfeit rubies, right?" β
"Of course, every gemstone will find its own home." Yan Juan smiled and nodded, "Moreover, the special thing about tourmaline lies in the richness of its color. There are very few gemstones that have such a variety of colours. β
"Yes, yes, we still have green tourmaline here! This is a new item that only arrived today, do you come here to take a look? The salesman put the ring on the counter and led Yan Juan to fold it ninety degrees, "Look, these tourmalines are green, which is rare in ordinary jewelry stores." β
Yan Juan smiled and nodded: "This tourmaline!" β
"This is the most expensive tourmaline we have ever entered. You see this green, it's a very beautiful emerald green 'color'. The salesman brought the gem out.
"Yes, this is the best of the green tourmalines, known as chrome tourmaline. Compared to those rosΓ© tourmalines, the price of this tourmaline is not too high. Yan Juan put the tourmaline under the light and squinted to inspect it, "And the clarity is also very good." β
Although he finally rejected Yan Yixin's move to buy it, Yan Juan still felt that tonight was worth the trip, and even more so he had the idea of receiving a piece of chrome tourmaline as jewelry.
