Chapter 31: Jumbo Zhai opens
At the end of July, Jiangcheng
On the top floor of the headquarters of Mingyao Group, a young girl sat comfortably on the sofa, holding a courier letter that had just been delivered, and the man sitting behind the desk looked up and said, "Who sent it?" ”
"It's supposed to be an admission letter from No. 1 Middle School."
The girl who spoke was Gu Hualan, they had been in Jiangcheng for more than a month, and everything was going well. Hearing this, Pei Mingyi walked over from behind the desk, "Take it apart and take a look." ”
Gu Hualan answered, opened it and saw that it was indeed the admission letter of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. Pei Mingyi suddenly smiled like a flower on his face, took it and looked at it carefully, "Tut, this famous school is strict, what kind of military training will be done when the school starts, just these flowery students now, I can't see it." ”
Gu Hualan noticed the other contents attached to the notice, the school started on September 1, but the military training had to start two weeks in advance, and he was not allowed to take leave for any reason unless he had a major illness.
"No. 1 High School is known for its excellent teachers and teaching quality, and the school spirit is also known for its rigorousness, so it is not surprising that such training activities are carried out." Gu Hualan said lightly, no matter how unbearable the training in the eyes of ordinary people was, it was just a matter of consuming some physical strength when she came here, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Pei Mingyi still knows Gu Hualan's physical fitness very well, and this is it, it is difficult for his daughter.
Gu Hualan glanced at his watch, it was almost nine o'clock, he stood up and said to Pei Mingyi: "Dad, I have something to do today, so I'll leave first." ”
Although Pei Mingyi didn't know what to say about his daughter's busy going in and out for a while, he knew that there were definitely a lot of secrets on this little girl, and he didn't ask much, just waved his hand and pretended to be impatient to drive people away: "Let's go, let's go, I also have a party today, so I won't accompany you to eat at noon." ”
After Gu Hualan said hello, he went downstairs directly, stopped a taxi, and went straight to the commercial street.
Today is indeed a big day, at the beginning of the month, Zhenbao Zhai was officially renovated, and after some arrangement, Gu Hualan felt that it could be opened, at this time He Siyuan told his owner mysteriously, in order to pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, he specially went to the ancient temple on Zhongxiu Mountain in Jiangcheng, and asked the abbot of the temple to find a good day, no, today is the auspicious day that should be opened.
As early as a week ago, Zhenbao Zhai posted widely, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise that Gu Hualan left in Myanmar. In addition to the three pieces of superb jadeite obtained at the original auction, He Siyuan took Gu Hualan to many jade trading venues, and gained a lot, and then through the carving of the masters, the appearance of this treasure Zhai will surely cause the world to marvel!
Zhenbao Zhai is located in the center of the street, Gu Hualan got out of the car, and the first thing he saw was the signboard carved from the golden silk nanmu purchased with a lot of money, which was engraved with the three big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - Zhenbao Zhai.
Gu Hualan opened the door and walked in, very satisfied, this He Siyuan really understands a little.
The overall decoration adopts a Chinese style, with precious mahogany furniture such as the display counter and the sofa and coffee table for customers to rest in the lounge area, and the matching carpet is paved, showing the luxury but simple shape of the crystal chandelier exudes a soft but not dazzling light. The overall feeling is luxurious and restrained.
He Siyuan wore a solemn suit today, and his beard and stubble were all shaved, and the whole person looked extraordinarily energetic. As soon as Gu Hualan entered the door, he saw his owner and hurriedly greeted him:
"I was still thinking about when you will arrive at the owner's house, I have all the preparations for the opening, you have to be the first to speak today."
Who knew that Gu Hualan shook his head, pulled him aside and said, "You forgot?" You're the boss. ”
He Siyuan hurriedly waved his hand in surprise: "Owner, how can this work, I He Siyuan can't take your place, you see, I have prepared this draft for you." ”
Gu Hualan saw He Siyuan's stubborn temper coming up again, so he had to patiently explain to him: "Uncle He, I have never treated you as a subordinate, your strength in this treasure is definitely far beyond mine, if you have to give you a title, then you are the boss of Zhen Bao Zhai, my partner." ”
Seeing He Siyuan hanging his head and not speaking, Gu Hualan continued to persuade: "You don't know who my stepfather is, my current property has not yet reached the point where I can let him know about it, not to mention, I will have to start school in less than a month, don't you still have to rely on you, the boss on the surface, for many things." ”
He Siyuan listened to Gu Hualan's words, and was very moved, remembering that the owner had rescued him from the siege in Myanmar and silently cleaned up those messes for himself, and was so appreciated by others, he should work hard to repay the owner. I had already made a decision in my heart, and said to Gu Hualan firmly: "Dongjia, this life of my Lao He was saved by you, and with me in Zhenbao Zhai, I will definitely climb to the top and stand tall!" ”
patted He Siyuan on the shoulder to show encouragement, Gu Hualan continued to look around the store, and after not finding any problems, he asked He Siyuan, who was accompanying him, "How many people will come today?" ”
He Siyuan thought for a while and replied: "After you released the news in Myanmar, many people came to inquire, and a total of sixty invitation letters were issued, among which Xu Zhengxiao, the chairman of the Hong Kong capital Xu, personally called and said that he would definitely arrive on time, and other people also said that they would come, but what the actual situation is, it depends on the scene." ”
"There will definitely be some of these people who come to see the excitement or spy on the strength, I will watch from the audience, and the surrounding security work must also be in place, after all, Zhenbao Zhai is a fledgling, but the quality of jade is of the highest quality, so it will inevitably hinder the financial path of some people, you have to pay attention to yourself." Gu Hualan spoke indirectly past the tea poured by the waiter, took a sip and frowned:
"Zhenbao Zhai takes the boutique route, the people who come here to consume are not what you can use with these teas that I can't get used to, save some good tea, we won't be able to get it."
He Siyuan secretly scolded himself for negligence, and looked at the time a little anxiously, "Boss, what can I do today, people should come in another hour, where to find good tea!." ”
"Just in time." After Gu Hualan finished speaking, he went out and made a phone call, and when he came back, he sat on the sofa in the customer's rest area and closed his eyes to recuperate.
......
Twenty minutes later
The door of Zhenbao Zhai was pushed open, and Gu Hualan knew who was coming just by the steady footsteps.
"Sister, I brought you something, and I'll put it here for you." Ye Yuqi put a box that didn't look big on the coffee table, and then he wiped the sweat from his head with his free hand.
Gu Hualan took a handkerchief and gave it to him, "Sit down and drink saliva." ”
"Sister, I thought that it was too wasteful for the big red robe to drink for those who didn't know how to do it, but which one in the tea room was not the best, I looked for a long time, and I could only bring some hair tips that you don't usually drink, but if it is compared with the cup in front of you, it is also a world of difference." Ye Yuqi pursed his lips and glanced at the previous cup of tea on the coffee table with a little disgust.
Gu Hualan couldn't cry or laugh, Ye Yuqi was always full of defensiveness and hostility to outsiders because he had been tortured a lot before, "It's okay, let's live together today, and then go back and find a good one." ”
He Siyuan also smacked his tongue in his heart, Pei Mingyi was really spoiled by his baby bump, glanced at the quartz clock hanging on the wall, and said to Gu Hualan: "Boss, I'll go to the front to watch first, and it's time for people to come one after another, so you can sit down and rest for a while." ”
After He Siyuan left, Ye Yuqi moved to Gu Hualan's side, looking around at the decoration in the store, "Sister, I dare to pack tickets, I can't find a second one in the whole Qing Province that can compare here." His words were full of pride, and Gu Hualan was getting closer and closer to a god-like existence in his eyes.
Gu Hualan smiled and didn't speak, those design concepts of later generations are naturally ahead of their time today, and they are just borrowing from them.
At this time, Gu Hualan saw a row of cars driving in the direction of Zhenbao Zhai, his ability flashed, and he couldn't help laughing, this old man Xu is really good enough, the first one arrived, "Yuqi, let's go, the distinguished guest is here." ”
When Xu Zhengxiao's car door opened, Gu Hualan had already stood at the door, looking at the old and strong head of the Xu family in front of him, Gu Hualan greeted him with a smile: "Old Xu, after a few months, you really look a lot younger." ”
Xu Zhengxiao was very happy when he saw this little girl who had grown a lot taller, her piece of Fu Lu Shou really helped him a lot! walked over and patted Gu Hualan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Gu girl is getting more and more watery, don't come to harm." ”
"Old Xu, please inside." Gu Hualan greeted Xu Zhengxiao, turned around and instructed He Siyuan a few words, and then left.
"Gu girl, your shop is really eye-catching." Xu Zhengxiao sighed as he watched.
Gu Hualan was confused, and replied jokingly: "Dong Xu's family business is huge, so naturally he doesn't look down on our small portals. ”
Xu Zhengxiao laughed, feeling more and more that this girl could speak, and asked: "I heard that later in Myanmar, you opened three treasures one after another, I don't know if I can be lucky to see them today." ”
"Where is Dong Xu, although the jade is rare, in the final analysis, it is just a valuable stone, if it is not appreciated, it will have little value."
Xu Zhengxiao's words made Xu Zhengxiao laugh non-stop, and in a short time, the huge hall of Jumbo Zhai was full of invited guests, and it was roughly estimated that the number of invitations had far exceeded the number of invitations issued. Gu Hualan had already greeted Xu Zhengxiao in advance and asked him to keep the matter of being the boss behind the scenes, and the other party was not ambiguous, and agreed to it.
He Siyuan saw that everyone was together, cleared his throat, and then calmly walked to the front of everyone. The funny and concise opening remarks won the favor of many people.
At this moment, a very discordant voice sounded: "Yo, isn't this Boss He, where did you make your fortune, tell my brother." ”
He Siyuan's face immediately sank, and he could only warn with a concealed warning, "Today is the opening day, I who come to cheer should be welcome, if you want to make something out of nothing, don't blame me for not giving face!" ”
Gu Hualan's good mood was also broken in an instant, she looked at the man who spoke provocatively, she was very angry, she was afraid that it was the person who had a feud with He Siyuan before, but now she didn't come forward, so she could only stare first.
The man seemed to have found a breakthrough, and he was even more unscrupulous: "Your face is worth a few dollars, such a big store, can you earn it with your face, hahaha" After speaking, he laughed without scruples.
Gu Hualan said a word to Xu Zhengxiao beside him, walked to the bodyguard who invited him to watch the venue and whispered a few words, the bodyguard nodded, immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked over, pressed the person and prepared to take him away.
The caustic abuse made everyone present feel disgusted, and it seemed that they were here to make trouble, and they deserved to be taken away.
Today's highlight is to trade some unpolished jade, many people also came for this, seeing that the guests are in high spirits, this treasure Zhai is definitely a first-class product, Xu Zhengxiao did not stay longer after getting an old pit seed, and returned to Hong Kong overnight.
After the opening ceremony, seeing that there was nothing to do with him, Gu Hualan took Ye Yuqi and prepared to go back, He Siyuan couldn't keep this handshaker despite all his tricks, so he could only give up.
......
Jiangcheng's newly opened jade shop has attracted the attention of countless people, whether overt or dark, and Mu Rong'an, who happened to lead the troops out to train today, passed by this shop that looked very extraordinary at a glance.
Jade... He thought of the rumor he heard by chance on his last trip to Myanmar, that there was a person who had opened a rare tricolor on the first day, and I wonder if she would be interested in these little girls' favorite things...
"Deputy Commander? Deputy Commander Mu? ”
The soldiers around him found that the deputy commander, who was known as the youngest deputy commander in history, was distracted, and shouted a few words one after another.
"You go on." Mu Rong'an came back to his senses, and continued to listen to his subordinates' reports on the results of today's training, the more he listened, the more dissatisfied he became, before he came, he knew that there must be a gap between the people in the military region and his former teammates in the special operations unit, but this...
Mu Rong'an looked at the report in his hand again, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he began to make a training plan for the next stage in his heart, not noticing the girl who walked out of the place where his gaze had just stopped.
As soon as Gu Hualan walked out of Zhenbao Zhai, she saw a row of military vehicles passing in front of her, and the last military Humvee looked very familiar, she subconsciously thought of the man who had not heard from her for a long time, and when she wanted to take another look, the car had already driven far away and gradually disappeared in front of her.
Ye Yuqi followed Gu Hualan's side, looking at her and didn't know where to stare away, although he didn't know what Gu Hualan was thinking now, but he could feel it very clearly. My sister must be thinking about someone right now... It's just that looking at her like this, I'm afraid I don't even know it.
