Almost everyone in Cyprus has their own private car, and travel is basically by car rather than public transport, so there may not be many people partying, but there are quite a few cars. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhen Xia Yunjie arrived, there was already a long car parked on the side of the road in front of Marina's house.

Xia Yunjie parked the car at the back of the convoy, and then got out of the car with a gift.

Marina's home is a single-family villa, covering an area of about six or seven hundred square meters, with a private swimming pool, a lot of flowers and fruit trees planted in the yard, surrounded by a wall pruned by verdant cypress trees, the house is a two-story building, the area is about two hundred square meters. In China, it is estimated that only very wealthy people can afford to buy and live in this kind of villa, but it is more common here.

There is no way, who made their land vast and sparsely populated, who made their land permanently private. As a local, as long as you have the money to build a house, anyone can live in a villa, and even if you don't have enough money, you can also want to take out a loan. In short, with land, it is always much easier to prepare the money to build a house.

When Xia Yunjie arrived at the door, there were already many people standing or sitting in the courtyard.

Marina, as the protagonist and host today, is naturally extremely busy, and Sophia, as her good friend, is naturally helping out.

"Natsu, you're here, it's really nice to see you again. Marina, who was busy, saw Xia Yunjie and immediately greeted him happily and gave him a warm hug.

"Me too, Happy Birthday Marina. After Xia Yunjie hugged Marina warmly, he handed her the gift.

"Oh my God, this is your luxury 'Ranya' produced in China, which is now very popular in Europe!" Marina took the bag and immediately opened it, and when she saw that it was a set of beautifully packaged "Ranya" cosmetics, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Yunjie didn't expect that in a short period of time, "Ranya" cosmetics have become popular all over the world, and even women in a small place like Cyprus know "Ranya", and she can't help but feel both emotional and inevitably a little proud.

"Oh my God, it's really 'Ranya', and it's a princess series, I have a friend who has used it, and I heard that the effect is very good, but it's a pity that the price is too expensive, seven or eight hundred euros. Hearing Marina's call, Sophia also came over, and when she saw that it was indeed "Ranya" cosmetics, she couldn't help but exclaim, with a look of envy in her eyes.

Marina and Sophia are both working-class, and their monthly salaries are just over 1,000 euros, and seven or eight hundred euros is already worth more than half a month's salary. And foreigners' consumption concepts are generally consumed in advance, don't look at their monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to about 10,000 yuan, but in fact, the money that can really give them free disposal that month is actually not much, because they have to pay house mortgages, car mortgages, mobile phone mortgages, gasoline bills, water and electricity bills...... Seventy-seven-eighty-eight, they are basically moonlight, and they usually don't have much money in their pockets. For Marina and her family to suddenly take out seven or eight hundred euros to buy cosmetics, it is definitely a "huge" additional expense, and if you don't plan a month or two in advance, you will definitely not be able to afford it. Therefore, unemployment is a terrible thing for ordinary people in European and American countries, because they are not like Chinese who have more or less savings, and once they lose their jobs, they will immediately fall into an economic crisis, and they will not be able to pay the mortgage for the house, and the loan for the car will not be able to be paid......

The end result is a sale of houses and cars at low prices. So don't look at the Europeans and Americans are very rich, in fact, they are also very poor, so poor that they will never have much money in their pockets.

Therefore, Marina and Sophia were naturally very surprised to see that the gift given by Xia Yunjie turned out to be a product of the "Ranya" princess series, this kind of luxury, they can't afford to consume.

"Hehe, this is a product from my hometown, if you like Sophia, I will send you a set next time it is convenient. Xia Yunjie saw the look of envy in Sophia's eyes and said with a smile.

Although Sophia is a little snobbish than Marina, she is also an enthusiastic girl overall, Xia Yunjie naturally doesn't mind giving her a set of "Ranya" cosmetics, anyway, his family produces "Ranya" cosmetics. Of course, the number of "Ranya" he personally blended was limited, and there was definitely no way to send her another set this time.

"Of course I like it!" Sophia blurted out in surprise without thinking about it, but then she felt that she seemed to be a little too thick-skinned, and hurriedly said, "It's too expensive, it's better not to use it, not to use it." ”

"Hehe, you're welcome Sophia, we're friends. Xia Yunjie said with a smile.

Xia Yunjie's words made Sophia's heart flutter, and she even said thank you.

As he spoke, Vladimir, who had eaten with him yesterday at the port of Maria, walked in, accompanied by a young man who was also tall, with white skin and blond hair, and who looked like a Russian.

"Happy birthday, dear Marina!" Vladimir gave Marina a warm hug with open arms as soon as he came in, and then handed Marina the birthday present.

Vladimir is a rich Russian son, and the things he sends are naturally not shabby, it is a 50ml bottle of French Chanel Chanel5 perfume, but after all, it is just a bottle of perfume, compared to Xia Yunjie's set of "Ranya" princess series cosmetics, Vladimir's identity as a rich Russian son, and his relationship with Marina and Sophia is a little shabby.

Of course, on the surface, Marina must have thanked Vladimir with a pleasant face, and as for the common sense of human feelings, it is inevitable to compare his gift with Xia Yunjie's gift, and feel that Xia Yunjie, a Chinese, is much more generous than a Russian.

Not to mention that Marina secretly has this comparison in her heart, even Sophia, who has always been very close to Vladimir, inevitably looks down on him at this time, and feels that he, a rich Russian son, is a little unworthy of his name and a little stingy.

Of course, Vladimir didn't know this, and after giving the gift to Marina, he smiled and pointed to the young man next to him and said: "Let me introduce you, this is my friend Anuphry, who has just come to Cyprus for a short time, and I really want to feel the life atmosphere of the local people in Cyprus, so I brought him, Marina won't mind." ”

"Of course not, I am very honoured and happy that Mr. Anoufri is here for my birthday party. Marina laughed.

"Nice to meet your beautiful Miss Marina and happy birthday to you. The young man known as Anulfri also brought a gift, and when he congratulated him, he gave it away, and it was also a gift worth nearly 100 euros.

"Anoufri comes from our Petukhov family, which is very influential in Moscow in both political and business circles, and it was he who told me yesterday about Queen Kinowwillan, whose father, Slava, was the guest of honor of Her Majesty. After Anuphri greeted Marina and the others, Vladimir seemed to be afraid that Marina and they didn't know the dignity of Anupli's identity, and with a hint of showing off, he specially added.

"Really? It's amazing, it's shocking!" both Marina and Sophia cried out in an exaggerated voice, especially the latter, who was already starry when he saw Anoufri's eyes.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Oh, by the way, I don't know which city in China Mr. Xia is from, I've been to China several times, and my father has a good relationship with Beijing, so if you need help with anything in China in the future, I'd be happy to do it. Anuphri is obviously a gentleman who loves to show off his face, he saw Marina and Sophia's exaggerated expressions, and his face couldn't help but show a look of pride, but when his eyes swept over Xia Yunjie's calm face, a touch of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and his heart moved, and he deliberately looked at Xia Yunjie and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Anuphry, I'm from Jiangnan Province in China, but I don't think I need your Russians to help me in China. Xia Yunjie felt a trace of disgust in his heart when he heard this, and only replied lightly out of politeness, but anyone could hear it, and the Chinese young man in front of him had already felt a little dissatisfied with Mr. Anuphri's arrogance.

Anupli and Vladimir's faces changed slightly when they heard this, but they didn't expect that the Chinese in front of them was still quite proud.

"There are drinks and some desserts over there, please take what you like. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Marina hurriedly beckoned Anupri and the others to go to the courtyard to eat, and Sophia took the initiative to take Vladimir's hand and go inside.

Obviously, although Sophia thought that Vladimir was not as generous as Xia Yunjie before, it was obvious that a set of cosmetics from the "Ranya" princess series still couldn't change Xia Yunjie's status in Sophia's heart that was not as good as Vladimir. After all, the latter is a wealthy son in Russia, who not only owns a mansion and a luxury car, but also owns a private yacht.

After all, Marina's family is just an ordinary family, and this birthday party is just a dinner party for ordinary people. In addition to drinks and homemade desserts, the main food of the day is grilled meat. The barbecue is also freshly grilled and eaten, not like some rich families' birthday parties, where a long stream of food is placed in the banquet for the guests to take, and there are no waiters in white shirts and bow ties, holding trays and walking around the crowd.

Under the vine trellis, busy helping with the barbecue is Marina's brother Andre. The aroma of barbecue wafts through the air with wisps of white smoke, adding a lot of atmosphere to the party.

For foreigners, Cypriots are obviously very enthusiastic, and when they saw Xia Yunjie coming, many people greeted him one after another and asked him where he came from. When they heard that China was coming, everyone was surprised, and some even exaggerated gestures, saying how small Cyprus is and how huge China is. There are also a few people who have been to China, and when they talk about the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors, they are amazed again and again and say that it is really incredible and shocking.

However, compared to Xia Yunjie, Anupli and Vladimir are obviously more popular. This is also human nature, after all, Russians also belong to Europe in the traditional sense, and of course, the main thing is that Anupli and Vladimir are rich men.

Money is always attractive in any country, and people are always attracted to it, and the Cypriots are no exception. Quite a few people chatted around Anupri and Vladimir, saying something with a hint of flattery.

However, Rao is like this, Anuphri and Vladimir saw that many people always surrounded Xia Yunjie to ask questions, and they were always full of enthusiasm and interest in him, thinking of Xia Yunjie's "arrogance" just now, they still felt unhappy in their hearts.
