Chapter 434

Chen Li didn't expect Tang Xiao to not return to Qingquan and stay in Pujiang this Spring Festival, nor did he expect to run into him here. If he had anything to worry about, just the moment when Tang Xiao and Zheng Bingyang met, he didn't expect that he would hit him unexpectedly. He thought that he would have nothing to do in the afternoon and propose to go shopping. How comfortable it would be to stay at home with Chen Tong and Zheng Bingyang. At this time, he couldn't dig a hole and bury himself in.

When Zheng Bingyang saw Tang Xiao walk in, he was also a little stupid.

If you look closely at Zheng Bingyang's eyebrows and eyes, there are some differences between him and Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao's facial features give people a gentler feeling, while Zheng Bingyang's eyebrows and eyes are more generous and brighter. But at first glance, he is especially wearing a tweed coat of the same color, and also has a high ponytail. At the same time, he looks surprised, like seeing another self in a mirror.

Zheng Bingyang subconsciously looked back at Chen Tong. Seeing Chen Tong timidly raise his hand to greet Tang Xiao who was walking in, her beautiful eyes were wide open. It was hard to imagine that Chen Tong knew this girl who looked so similar to her, but she could not even hold on and mention it to her.

Zheng Bingyang also noticed that Tang Xiao had just entered the store and saw Chen Li's bright smile. It was a joy of unexpected meeting. She looked at Chen Li in confusion, wondering what Chen Li had to do with Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao was also a little confused when he saw Zheng Bingyang beside Chen Li.

She was still during the Spring Festival last year. She saw Chen Tong and Chen Li together in KTV. She knew that Chen Tong was Chen Li's cousin. Looking at Chen Li again, Chen Tong did not return to Qingquan during the Spring Festival and stayed in Pujiang with another girl. She ran to the mall to go shopping on the second day of the Chinese New Year. She also knew that the girl's relationship should be very close to Chen Li.

Although Zheng Bingyang and Chen Li had no physical contact, did not hold their arms or press them together, they were also close to each other, and there was no slightest distance between them. This was a distance that only when they had a good impression of each other or were in love.

Since her parents came to Pujiang last time, Tang Xiao has not had any active contact with Chen Li. She had long thought that these years have passed. Even if Chen Li doesn't have much to do with Li Meng, there will definitely be other girls around her. She and Chen Li are already in two different worlds, but she did not expect that the girls around Chen Li would look like another self in the mirror at first glance.

Tang Xiao also knows what's going on?

"Tang Xiao, I just saw the girl next to your ex-boyfriend. I was really shocked. I thought to myself why you took the wrong medicine and why did you make up with this guy again? I looked at it for a long time before confirming that it was not you. Think about it, your ex-boyfriend is really infatuated with you. They broke up with you. The girl you newly fell in love with is simply poured out of the same mold."

Qian Li walked over and took Tang Xiao's arm and pulled her into the mall. Her mouth was like spitting beans, and she kept talking nonstop.

"I just called you to come here just to ask you if you have any sisters or sisters who have been separated or taken away by others."

If Chen Li had a stapler in his hand, he would definitely nail Qian Li's thin mouth.

Seeing Zheng Bingyang's face stiff, Chen Tong hugged her arm and whispered to save Rao: "I only met her two years ago. I have always hinted that my brother is not a thing, not that he has reminded you."

Seeing Chen Tong rushing to Zheng Bingyang and her, and selling him clean without any slightest loyalty, Chen Li was also amused and glared at Chen Tong. Chen Tong stuck out his tongue and hugged Zheng Bingyang tighter, as if she wanted her to choose between Chen Li and Zheng Bingyang, and would choose Zheng Bingyang without hesitation.

"Are you Chen Li's girlfriend? Hello, I am Tang Xiao, and I am just classmates with Chen Li. When I was in my freshman year, I was joking for a while and I didn't even hold my hands. Later, I found that the two of them were really not suitable to be together, so I separated." Tang Xiao walked over and reached out to Zheng Bingyang.

"Yes, yes," Chen Tong hurriedly explained affirmatively, "Anyway, when I was in college, I had never seen any girl around Chen Li. I kept muttering to you, not to mention my brother's physical or psychological defects..."

"Ah," Zheng Bingyang was also a little surprised. He stretched out his hand unexpectedly, shook Tang Xiao, and said, "You, don't get me wrong. Chen Li and I are just ordinary friends now, not the relationship you imagined..."

Tang Xiao smiled, not convinced Zheng Bingyang's words, and turned around and said to Qian Li: "Mr. Zhao may not like any jade. Why don't we go to another place to pick a birthday gift for Mr. Zhao?" She thought to pull Qian Li away quickly so that Chen Li would not continue to embarrass him.

"..." Qian Li was very frightened. Not only did she hold grudges against Chen Li, she was also jealous of Tang Xiao's sudden reuse from Zhao Rongrong during this period. She actually took over the company's own brand and product matters. Now she has seized the opportunity to cure Chen Li and Tang Xiao at once. How could she leave? She smiled, "You said that Chen Li knows women's minds very well. He brought two girls to pick jade. He obviously recognized beautiful women like jade jewelry. But the salesperson here said that they had been picking and picking here for more than an hour, but they didn't choose anything. By the way, when he was with you, did he have difficulty choosing or just blocking the door and unwilling to buy some good things for girls?"

Tang Xiao didn't know that Chen Tong was learning to appreciate the quality of jade, so he looked at Chen Li in confusion. Qian Li said something a little sarcastic. She wanted to help Chen Li, but she didn't know how to respond.

"Maybe Mr. Zhao is shopping outside, or we call Mr. Zhao to come and pick it up in person. Mr. Zhao will definitely be shocked when he sees the girl next to Chen Li." Qian Li was afraid that the world would be in chaos, and thought of pulling Zhao Rongrong over, but she didn't wait for Tang Xiao to stop him. She picked up her cell phone and pulled out the phone.

"Are you still satisfied with this piece of lotus branch Nanhong? Why don't you let your customers come and choose first?" Seeing Chen Li and the others' situation, the manager of the Jade Industry was a little impatient and thought to ask them to move a little outside to not affect their opening of the business.

Chen Li and the others looked extraordinary, but Chen Li accompanied Chen Tong and Zheng Bingyang to pick and pick up here for more than an hour, but he didn't choose a piece of jade. Many salesmen had been impatient for a long time, and the manager could see clearly in the inner room.

Qian Li just walked in and was full of momentum, but when they took out the suppressed Lianzhi Nanhong, Qian Li suddenly shivered and asked the manager to see it. She knew that the group of people in front of her could not do any business, and now she thought they were in the way.

"...Do you think we are getting in the middle of the place or what, you know we can't afford it," Qian Li's personality was sarcastic and fierce. She was rushed over by the store before the store was rushed over. She immediately rejected it, "Your Nanhong material looks quite small, but the carving and the quality are all about 460,000 yuan - how does your store price? Do you ask us if we don't understand the market at all?"

"Ms., you may have misunderstood. We really don't mean this," the manager said with a false smile. "You may not be able to see this Lotus Branch Nanhong carving work, but it is also the best Nanhong ornament in our store. Today, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we are hosting an event. New and old customers can get 68% off when they come to the door. If you really like it, I can give you a 50% off and a 230,000 yuan deal. If you think this Lotus Branch Nanhong is not high-end, there are more high-end emeralds and jadeites for you to choose from in the counter there..."

Listening to the manager's soft nails, Qian Li couldn't do anything, and she was really not generous enough to join forces with several executives to buy jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for Zhao Rongrong as birthday gifts. Her momentum became a little weaker, and she said timidly: "You said that the profits in your industry are so terrifying. You always get 50% off. I don't know how 50% off it has been. According to me, it's expensive to have a 20% discount."

"There are really not so many false heads. We provide the appraisal certificate from the National Appraisal Institute. Moreover, our store promises to repurchase at least 10% off for the jade wares sold. The reason for repurchasing 10% off rather than repurchasing the original price is that our store also requires costs and requires employees to pay..." said the store manager.

Seeing Qian Li tangled with the manager of the jade artifacts and couldn't leave, Tang Xiao smiled awkwardly when he looked at Chen Li, while Zheng Bingyang and Shen Tong lowered their heads and pretended to look at the jade artifacts on the counter, otherwise they wouldn't know how to resolve the embarrassment in front of them.

It’s not that I couldn’t guess that Chen Li might have emotional entanglement with other women, and Zheng Bingyang had thought that she would really choose to be with Chen Li, and that part of her emotions might be divided by others, but I didn’t think that she might become a substitute for others.

However, thinking about it again, apart from the misunderstandings of her family, she and Chen Li did not really get together. She wanted to be sad but couldn't feel sad. She could only use the warm and greasy jade artifacts in front of her to divert her attention. She was in a daze and did not notice that there was a statue of Guanyin carved with mutton fat on the counter next to her. Her sleeves were hung on the corner of the tray, and she took some out of the tray.

The girl who had just greeted Chen Li and the others at the counter was startled and quickly reached out to hold the tray down.

It would be fine if this girl didn't press it. Just a corner of the tray was taken out of the counter and would not slide down. But when she pressed it suddenly, the mutton fat jade Guanyin in the tray was thundered, fell down, and rolled out of the tray. Chen Li couldn't even catch it, and watched the mutton fat jade Guanyin "splash" and smashed into several petals.

The girl was so scared that she was pale. A piece of mutton fat jade pendant priced at 98,000 yuan was broken into a pile of broken jade. Even if she was 50,000 yuan, she would have to pay her annual salary. She didn't want to avoid responsibility. She looked pale and said to the store manager with a trembling voice: "Manager, I was accidentally, thinking that the pallet was going to be taken down."

The store manager cut her a fierce look, stopped her from continuing, looked out, and said to Zheng Bingyang: "Miss, you have seen it too. No matter whether the employees of our store stop it or not, the mutton fat jade Guanyin will definitely fall down - we will not ask you to compensate according to the original price. If this is the case, we are responsible for helping you to make the broken jade into a complete Guanyin statue as much as possible, and you can buy it at a 50% discount..."

Zheng Bingyang wanted to argue that it was not her main responsibility to break the fat jade Guanyin, but when she saw that the girl at the counter was about to cry, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

"We don't say whether anyone is responsible or not. We buy it at a cost price. Is it okay?" Chen Li said to the store manager.

Chen Li knew that even if they had cleared the responsibility, the girl would have to compensate the store at a cost price. Just now, only this girl was patient enough with them. Chen Li couldn't make this girl uneasy during the New Year.

Seeing the store manager hesitant, Chen Li said again: "You will take out the purchase receipt and show us the cost price - or you don't think it's OK, then we will check the surveillance video through the police to determine who is responsible, and then talk about the follow-up matters..."

"Okay..." The store manager saw the scene just now. He didn't need to check the surveillance video and knew that the main responsibility was not on the other party. If he really wanted to continue to get involved, today's business would definitely not be able to be completed, and Xiao Cai would bear the main compensation liability. Then she would do it in vain for half a year and directly asked someone to go to the office to find the purchase documents, so that Chen Li and the others could recognize the cost price, thinking about ending the matter.

After reading the original purchase receipt, the cost price of Guanyin that mutton fat jade is only 18,000 yuan.

"Smack, you said your store is not so stupid enough. The Guanyin logo of mutton fat jade less than 18,000 yuan is less than 98,000 yuan. It's less than 20% off," Qian Li smacked her lips and said sarcastic words, "According to our calculations, you can make a big profit if you add the store rent and the staff cost of 25% off."

"If you still like this lady, I can't make money by selling it to you at 25% off, even if you make a friend." The store manager said to Qian Li without any effort.

Lianzhi Nanhong is 25% off, which is more than 110,000 yuan, which is a huge margin for gift budgets for Qian Li and Tang Xiao.

Qian Li curled her lips and didn't answer the store manager's words.

"You are the owner of this store?" Chen Li smiled when he saw that the store manager could make up his mind, "In this way, you will take out the purchase documents for all the jade we selected just now. I will add 30% of the cost price to you..."

Chen Li could see that Qian Li was a bully and fearful person. As long as she could suppress her, she would naturally block her mouth. Moreover, he could not dig a hole to bury himself in, nor could he escape with urine. Thinking of it, he could only buy a fortune and divert the attention of Zheng Bingyang and the others.

"Mysterious, why do you buy these?" Shen Tong glanced at Chen Li. She knew that Chen Li was not short of money, but she also knew that for Chen Li, there was no collection value for jadeware less than one million. When this pile of jade jewelry worth hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands, there was a place to put it?

"What kind of difference can you see here?" Chen Li said, "Just like playing games, if you can't be a technical player, just be a RMB player. Buy it and learn it slowly, but we have to agree first. Even if you are tired of playing, you will be responsible for dealing with this pile of things. Don't throw it away from me to take up space..."

"That's right!" Chen Tong's eyes lit up after hearing what Chen Li said. This is a shortcut for her to quickly improve the level of jade appreciation. And Chen Li was bleeding. Of course, she was not polite and pulled Zheng Bingyang and said, "These we just saw were not enough. Those emerald necklaces look so beautiful. I want to take two of them back and learn to appreciate with Bingyang..."

"The cost of those emeralds is hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Can't you kill me like this?" Chen Li shouted regretfully.

Unlike gold and silverware, the transaction volume of jade products is much lower. Even during the Spring Festival, it may not be sold every day. The unit price is sold at a lower price, and the cost of renting a manual store cannot be calculated. Even if the Lianzhi Nanhong can make 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, selling at such a low price will affect the reputation of Dingyuzhai. The manager will not agree to the transaction. However, when encountering a wealthy dealer like Chen Li, who treats this place as a vegetable market for wholesale, the cost price of the things they selected before is 70,000 to 800,000 yuan. And the two girls directly passed the top emerald necklaces with the highest value content in their store. Even if they choose two, they will be a few hundred thousand yuan in total, and the profit on that day will be much more considerable...

The store manager, who still had Fengyun, came to his senses and quickly arranged for the salesperson to clear the shop, specifically receiving Chen Li and other high-end customers.

Qian Li was a little unbelievable, and glanced at Tang Xiao without saying a word. She didn't stay or leave. Chen Li sat aside and said to Tang Xiao: "Chen Tong has been learning jade appreciation recently. I accompanied her to see the truth. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qian got into a misunderstanding and I was cheating on the little girl again. She didn't think about it. Chen Tong is not easy to cheat? It's a blessing that I didn't forget my wallet at home today, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to go out of the store today."

Chen Li took out his wallet from his coat pocket and said to the young woman manager who was standing at the counter: "Every kind of jade, from ordinary quality and ordinary carving to the top collection in your store, you recommend two items in the sample - I'm calling the bank now to see how much money my card can overdraw today, so as to avoid not being able to make a payment later and making jokes..."

Chen Li had only an ordinary credit card from CCB in his wallet. In 2007, CCB had not opened a private banking business, and the limits of most other domestic banks were about one million, so Chen Li did not open an account in other banks.

Chen Li rarely has the opportunity to use a credit card. I really don’t know how much the CCB card he has promised to be used for the top customers, but the style is no different from that of ordinary platinum cards.
