Chapter Ninety-Seven: The "Xitai" Controversy
Chapter Ninety-Seven: The "Xitai" Controversy
When Xia Wei left, Huo Jun didn't get up to see her off. According to his words, they have been in contact for more than 10 years, and even if they meet by chance, they can only be regarded as acquaintances, but they no longer have the definition of friends. The service staff is already a big face for her to send off the guests on her behalf.
In this regard, Xi Yizheng sighed secretly, men, they are much more rational than women. But it also reveals endless coolness. In their opinion, a breakup is a breakup, and a few years later, you still greet me so familiarly. It's better to avoid it in a hurry, avoid it, and look at each other and smile is already a great patience. As for chatting more about the past when they broke up with each other for many years, or reminiscing about what they did when they knew each other and fell in love, it is troublesome for no reason. In the end, they may destroy each other's existing new feelings and new families.
It's just that men may be able to be so rational and neat, and if they say no, they don't want it, but women can't do it. She always hopes that she will find a better one after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, but occasionally she will remember her first boyfriend, and occasionally she always hopes that the other party will care about her, and it is best to forget it. This is what satisfies a woman's great vanity. If the other party has a new partner, and the other party's conditions are much better than herself, and the man's conditions are also much richer, then she will be lost, sad, and even hope that time will go back so that she can choose again, this is a woman who is emotional at any time.
But Xi Yizheng felt that he was not. At least when she faced a large box of hardcover books and the latest mini handy tools related to jadeite and design and carving sent by Fan Youmin from Canada, she didn't feel vanity at all, but suddenly felt that he was stupid, but very cute. Didn't he know that the postage of this large box was almost more than the price of the gift itself? Of course, his heart was indeed received. This one has been in love with himself since the second year of junior high school, oh no, and it may have been earlier, or he fell in love with Xi Yizheng, who was originally introverted and calm.
"Haven't you seen enough?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Huo Jun wrapped his arms around her from behind and complained jealously.
"I just feel lucky to have so many people around me who love me, love me, tolerate me, and encourage me." Xi Yizheng sighed lightly and prepared to move the big box to the workshop.
"I'll come" Huo Jun rolled up his sleeves and brought the box to her office, but he didn't plan to use it for her, but stuffed it into the bottom of the low cabinet. “
Xi Yizheng couldn't help but laugh at him in such a childish way of venting his anger, "I have nothing to do with him at all, it's purely a classmate relationship." What the hell are you angry about? ”
"Nope." Huo Jun immediately denied it. But the jealousy flew in his heart, and he couldn't wait to throw this box out of Fangzhong Mansion immediately.
Xi Yizheng didn't intend to expose him, so he let him stuff the box at the bottom of the entire cabinet. I didn't plan to change this set of tools in the first place. Designers have their own set of engraving tools, which will not be replaced at will unless there is a defect.
"Is this a discouragement? There are many words without mistakes" Huo Jun looked at Xi Yizheng expectantly, helped her pick up the "Sweeping Jewel" that had just opened for three days and was full of guests every day, and put the treasures of the town store into the safe one by one, planning to take her back to Huo Yuan for dinner after work.
It is said that the two of them met Xia Wei inexplicably on the opening day, and a box of gifts sent by Fan Youmin, who was far away from the ocean, so they were jealous, at first Xi Yizheng was a little uncomfortable, a little childish and awkward, just about to get better, Fan Youmin's big box of opening gifts made Huo Jun also eat a jar of old vinegar. Although the congratulatory gift does not have any emotional color at all, it is easier to make people think about it in detail. You say to give personal gifts such as jewelry, which can still be put aside and no longer remember, but these professional-related tools and books, even if she currently has her own use of handy, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be broken, and then she will remember this set given by others, which is hard to say for three years and five years.
Huo Jun also wanted to learn Xi Yizheng to play a little awkward, hoping that she would take the initiative to comfort him, but in the end, he was defeated and took the initiative to come to the door to do coolies.
In fact, at that time, Xi Yizheng really didn't expect Huo Jun to be awkward. She thought he was just busy. Just like herself these days, she spends almost every day "sweeping the pearl". Since the official opening, online sales have been temporarily suspended, and the website-based store has been changed to the website advertising of the physical store. Naturally, it also adds a lot of fame to the physical store. There are also many customers who have ordered on the website and find that the jade jewelry from "Xi's" is really good. Whether it is the quality of jadeite or the carving process, it is enough to be called a master's pen. Nowadays, as soon as I learned that the physical store is located in the most prosperous commercial district in Beijing, even if you don't want to buy, it is a good leisure shopping to visit.
What's more, the quality of the jewelry on the "swept pearl jade" on the cabinet is more in place than advertised on the website, seen with your own eyes, stroked by your own hands, mellow feel, beautiful colors, dazzling luster, so that customers who come to just want to observe the rise of the intention of buying and collecting.
It is conceivable that "Sweeping Jewel" opened for a month, and after all expenses, it recorded a profit of up to one million. Xi's mother couldn't close her mouth. She and her colleague's children who did not go to college learned design and sculpture under the advice of their father, and provoked the design profession. Let Xi Yizheng be speechless for a while. Well, because she has a bracelet, she can sense the aura of jade, so she has gambled on a lot of high-quality jadeite, which has laid a great foundation for her to open a store. In other words, there is no extremely powerful bracelet cheat, if you want to open a jade store, how strong the capital operation needs to be
Large, not to mention, at a certain stage, even if the funds are sufficient, it is very difficult to have a huge number of high-quality jadeite. Therefore, it is very unwise for those children to choose to take this path just by looking at the extraordinary success of her "Sweeping Jewel" sales.
"What are you thinking, so focused" Huo Jun came to pick her up from work, and saw her stunned in front of the blinds. stepped forward and patted her on the head, hugged her into his arms, and said as if complaining: "I haven't been to my house for a long time, let's go today, I let Uncle Wang already prepare dinner, how about eating Western food in the evening?" ”
"Okay." Xi Yizheng was amusedly trying to rub his head, trying to mess up his always refreshing hairstyle. Unexpectedly, Huo Jun grabbed his hands, trapped them in his chest, looked at her softly, and saw his projection in her smiling eyes, and then, with a slap, he kissed her sweet lips, "Zheng ......", and a low groan came from the moment he rubbed her lips. Inside, a beautiful scenery.
"Didn't you say that the benefits were okay? How can it be said that if it goes out of business, it will go out of business? Xi's mother was shocked, digesting the news she had just heard from Xi's father. What bank loans are tightening, and what can't be operated? Although, a few months ago, it was true that at the opening ceremony of "Sweeping Zhuyu", I heard Wang Wanru complaining about the current difficult situation of "Xitai". However, because I have heard from my children that Xi Yichen pulled the big business of "Xitai" to the "Huatai" that it had just established, it seems that he is transferring the capital chain, which leads to the operation of "Xitai" is indeed a lot more low-key, and it is impossible to have a higher profit appearance this year, but it will not be reduced to closure immediately. Is there something hidden in this?
Xi's mother turned her head to look at Xi's father suspiciously, and motioned for him to give an explanation. If it really goes out of business, don't say that they are uncomfortable, and Old Man Xi may be angry and sick on the spot if he knows it. Alas, Mama Xi sighed secretly, the uncle's family really went too far this time.
"I don't know why." Dad Xi shook his head, the eldest brother really did too much this time. The old man was already high in blood pressure, and when he learned that "Xitai" said that he would fall, maybe he would ...... Yes...... Dad Xi couldn't bear to think about it, but this paper couldn't contain the fire, and sooner or later he would know about it from outsiders, so it was better to confess it automatically.
"I'll hang up the phone for my eldest brother and let him come over." Xi's father groaned for a while, and instructed Xi's mother: "Dad, don't tell him yet, wait until you ask the eldest brother what's going on." After speaking, he went into the study and called Xi Guangzhi.
After Xi Guangzhi came, the brothers nested in the study and muttered for a long time before they came out.
Xi Guangzhi's expression was gloomy, and he didn't even leave lunch to eat, so he hurried back to Baoding.
"What did he say?" Seeing that Xi's father was waiting for Xi Guangzhi to be gone for a long time, she was still in a daze in the study, knocked on the door and went in to call him for dinner.
"Oh...... Alas, what else can be said that it is nothing more than a failure of operation...... Big brother, it seems that he has changed a lot, he used to not lie, but now he ......," Xi's father shook his head, "It seems that it is better to tell Dad about it earlier." After all, "Xitai" was grown in his hands, and now, it is facing bankruptcy. This blow is not small.
"Or ...... Husband, let's take it down. Xi's mother pondered, "No matter what, 'Xitai' can't fall yet." It's falling, what should the old man do? I'm afraid he won't be able to carry it. ”
"I've thought about it, but it's easier said than done." Mo said that they were willing to accept it, and with Wang Wanru's temperament, he might not be willing to transfer it to them. Xi's father didn't have much hope for this proposal.
"I don't know if I don't try." The more Xi's mother thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible, "Okay, I'll ask the children for advice." "When I turned around, I was going to discuss countermeasures with Xi Yixiao.
"Wait, I think it's better to talk to the old man, if he has other ideas, it may not be." Xi's father is worried that if their family really pays to receive the shell of "Xitai", it may be even more sad when Old Man Xi learns about it. The children not only unfilial failed the family business he had expanded, but even tried every means to hide it from him and transfer it privately. Such a result...... Alas, it must have made him worry even more.
"Okay, but look at the old man's physical condition, don't irritate him too much." Xi's mother sighed secretly.
