Chapter 19: The Land of Diamonds
Although Yan Juan didn't have to bring too many things, when Yan Yixin saw that Yan Juan was just carrying a backpack, he was still thundered.
"Where's your luggage? Is it consigned? Yan Yixin asked in confusion and looked at the ticket in his hand. That's right, together with Yan Juan's one, it's all in the palm of your hand!
"Isn't that what it is?" Yan Juan patted his backpack.
"That's it?"
"That's right, I don't need to change my coat anyway, so I brought two sets of changing clothes, which doesn't take up much space." Yan Juan smiled easily. Those trips that fill an entire suitcase are not actually the way she likes them.
"I thought that when a woman traveled, she would bring several sets of clothes and cosmetics, so at least there would be a big suitcase. I'm still going to work as a coolie for you for free, but I don't think I need it? β
"Well, no, this backpack of mine is very light." Yan Wan smiled.
But Yan Yixin still carried the bag on his back with a gentlemanly demeanor, and his luggage was very simple, just a flat small suitcase.
"It seems that we are all traveling light." Yan Yixin rarely wears clothes other than uniforms, and Yan Juan found that he wears casual clothes, and he has a sunny handsomeness.
The seriousness of the office faded, and his gentleness seemed more amiable like a spring breeze.
"We're in economy class." Yan Yixin put the luggage in the overhead compartment.
"As long as it gets us to our destination." Yan Juan disagreed, "You are so poorly dressed!" β
"Brazil is in the southern hemisphere, which is the opposite of our season......"
"Ah......" Yan Wan patted his forehead in annoyance, "I actually forgot such geographical common sense, and I still wear a down jacket......"
Yan Yixin was startled by her surprise, and when she heard her "reason", she smiled dumbly: "It's cold here, just put it in the hotel when you get to Brazil." β
"I could have streamlined my luggage a little more ......," Yan Juan was still a little annoyed.
"This time, the schedule is relatively tight, I'm afraid it doesn't give you more time to shop." When walking out of the airport, Yan Yixin emphasized.
"I don't have a shopping fetish, and the most important thing is that Miss Ben is a poor person, and even if she has such a fetish, there are not enough tickets in my purse for me to squander." Yan Juan also expressed his views very calmly.
She doesn't really like to shop and sweep goods, but high society has such a habit, and when it comes to the season, anyone who doesn't go to Paris will look particularly shabby.
Lu Wenjun is the same, if he doesn't "squander" his money ruthlessly, he feels that the clothes on her body are not worthy of his identity.
The schedule was really tight, they got off the plane in SΓ£o Paulo and immediately transferred to Belo Horizonte. As soon as I arrived at the collapsed hotel, I didn't even have time to fall into the jet lag, and the reception car was already on standby downstairs.
"I'm afraid that the rough stones we originally planned to buy have been out of stock recently." Yan Yixin talked a few words on his mobile phone and frowned.
"Ah...... So what to do? Yan Wan exclaimed.
"Fortunately, the other party also made up for it and left us with quite enough rough diamonds. It is some diamonds that have been processed in the simplest way, and it may be easier for us. Of course, in terms of price, it may be out of budget. β
"Well, as long as you can get the goods, it's not in vain, right?" Yan Juan smiled and encouraged.
Yan Yixin's expression was relieved: "You're right. β
The driver who came by car wore a sleeveless vest with strong arms exposed. If someone says that he is a basketball player, Yan Juan also feels credible.
Yan Yixin seemed to know him: "Paul, why did you come in person?" β
Paul jumped out of the car and hugged Yan Yixin. Yan Juan saw Yan Yixin's hearty smile and was a little confused. In her concept, such unrestrained movements do not seem to be suitable for him who is as gentle as water.
The two quickly talked a few words, and Yan Juan was very sad to find that he couldn't understand a word.
"Did you just speak Portuguese?" Yan Juan asked softly.
"yes, you understand?" Yan Yixin asked happily.
Yan Wanran: "No, I can't understand a word." I just knew that Brazil was once a Portuguese colony, so I took it for granted that the language, which I didn't understand, was Portuguese. β
"You're smart." Yan Yixin praised her without hesitation.
Their cars sped down the highway and were picturesque along the way. The bright sun shines down, and it feels a little strange from the cold winter of the Northern Hemisphere to the hot summer of Brazil.
"How can a highway be built on a mountain?" Yan Juan looked at the winding and narrow scenery and asked curiously.
"The amount of precipitation during the rainy season is too high, and if it is built underneath, it is very likely to be hit by flooding." Yan Yixin replied, "When we get to the front, we can drink a little coffee and eat some bread rolls or something." Are you tired? β
"It's okay, not very tired." Yan Xuan's mental state is still very good.
The scenery of the Rainforest Valley is mysterious and dreamy, and the winds that blow in it seem to carry the dampness of ancient times. Those tall plants that have been sunburned for thousands of years are full of vicissitudes in their vitality.
Flowers in the sun, like enthusiastic maidens, greet travelers from afar. Because of youth, because of youth, there is no need to apply grease and powder. Facing the sky without makeup is the most primitive beauty.
Even if the trip lasted more than three hours, it didn't make Yan Juan feel depressed. Along the way, the brilliant colors are full of eyes. The original ecological scenery makes Yan Xuan, who is accustomed to seeing the city, and produces a yearning for a paradise.
"Here we are." Yan Yixin's voice brought Yan Juan back to reality.
The so-called "Diamond Country" turned out to be just a small town. As the prosperity approached, Yan Juan guessed that it was the center of the town. Their car did not stop for a moment, and continued to drive towards the desolate place until a gate wrapped in wire blocked the way next to an artificial lake.
Paul muttered a few more words, and Yan Yixin nodded happily. So they all got out of the car and walked along the path.
After walking for about ten minutes, a villa appeared in front of me. The exterior is so unpretentious that you can't tell that this is a diamond trading venue.
When I walked into the hall, I realized the atmosphere.
The marble floors are recognizable, and the entire dΓ©cor can be described as luxurious. Even the ceiling is carved with intricate lines, crystal chandeliers, and it hangs five or six meters long.
On the European-style gold-filled stairs, a middle-aged man walked down. Slightly curly hair and a cigar in his mouth. The clothes on his body are very casual, a bit like a tycoon in old Shanghai, China.
"Welcome, Yan!" He walked over and gave Yan Yixin a warm hug.
"Hello, Sanga!" Yan Yixin greeted with a smile.
Yan Juan breathed a sigh of relief, this time, she was finally able to understand the other party's words. Because this old Shanghainese tycoon speaks English.
