Almost everyone in Cyprus has their own private cars, and they basically drive instead of public transportation. So there may not be many people coming to party, but there are quite a few cars. When Xia Yunjie drove there, there were already a long car parked by the small road in front of Marina's house.

Xia Yunjie parked the car behind the convoy and got out of the car with a gift.

Marina's home is a single-family villa with an area of ​​about 600 square meters and a private swimming pool. There are many flowers, plants and fruit trees planted in the yard. It is surrounded by walls made of verdant cypress trees. The house is two-story, with an area of ​​about 200 square meters. This kind of villa is probably worth very rich people in China to afford and afford, but it is more common here.

There is no way, whoever makes their land vast and sparsely populated, will make their land permanently owned. As a local, as long as you have money to build a house, anyone can live in a villa. Even if the money is not enough, you can still want to take out a loan. In short, with land, it is still easy to prepare a lot of money for building a house.

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

As the protagonist and owner of today, Marina is naturally very busy, and Sophia, as her good friend, is naturally also helping around the inside and outside.

"Xia, you are here, I'm really happy to see you again." Marina, who was busy, saw Xia Yunjie and immediately greeted her happily and gave him a warm hug.

"So too, I wish you a happy birthday Marina." Xia Yunjie and Marina hugged her warmly and handed her the gift.

"Oh, my God, this is a luxury product produced in China. "Ranya, now very popular in Europe." Marina took the bag and opened it immediately. Seeing that it was a beautifully packaged "Ranya" cosmetics, she immediately screamed in surprise.

Xia Yunjie did not expect that in just a short time, "Ranya" cosmetics have become popular all over the world. Even women in small places like Cyprus know "Ranya". They can't help but feel both emotional and proud.

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

Marina and Sophia are both working-class people, with monthly salary of only over 1,000 euros, and seven or eight hundred euros are worth more than half a month's salary. Moreover, foreigners' consumption concepts are generally used to consume in advance. Although their monthly salary is over 1,000 yuan, it is equivalent to about 10,000 yuan, but in fact, there is not much money that can really allow them to freely distribute in that month, because they have to pay house mortgages, car mortgages, mobile mortgages, gasoline fees, and water and electricity bills. They are basically moonlight.

There is not much money in your pocket. If Marina and the others suddenly take out seven or eight hundred euros to buy cosmetics, it would be a "huge" extra expense. If you don't plan one or two months in advance, you will definitely not be able to afford it. Therefore, unemployment is a very terrifying thing for ordinary European and American people, because they do not have more or less savings like Chinese people. Once they are unemployed, they will immediately fall into an economic crisis. There is no way to pay for house loans and no way to pay for car loans...

The final result is to sell houses and cars at a low price. So although Europeans and Americans are very rich, they are actually very poor, so poor that they will never have much money in their pockets.

Therefore, Marina and Sophia were naturally surprised to see that the gift given by Xia Yunjie turned out to be the product of the "Ranya" Princess series. They could not afford this luxury.

"Haha, this is a product from my hometown. If Sofia you like, I will send you a set next time it is convenient." Xia Yunjie said with a smile when he saw that there was enviousness in Sofia's eyes.

Although Sophia is more snobbish than Marina, she is also a passionate 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 prepared is limited, so this time there will definitely be no way to give her another set.

"Of course I like it." Sophia blurted out with surprise without thinking, but immediately she felt that she seemed to be too thick-skinned, and hurriedly said: "It's too expensive, it's still not necessary, no need."

"Haha, you're welcome Sofia, we are friends." Xia Yunjie smiled.

Sufia was so happy when she heard Xia Yunjie's words that she said thank you.

As he was talking, Vladimir, who had dinner with Maria yesterday, walked in. He was accompanied by a tall, big, white-skinned and blond hair, and he was obviously a young Russian man.

"Happy birthday, dear Marina." As soon as Vladimir came in, he opened his arms to give Marina a warm hug, and handed Marina the birthday gift.

Vladimir is a rich man from Russia, so the things he gives will naturally not be too cold. It is a 50-ml bottle of French Chanel CHANPL5 perfume, but after all, it is just a bottle of perfume. Compared to Xia Yunjie's set of "Ranya" Princess series cosmetics, as Vladimir's rich man from Russia, and his relationship with Marina and Sophia seems a little shabby.

Of course, Marina must have thanked Vladimir with surprise on the surface. As for the human nature, it is inevitable to compare his gift with Xia Yunjie's gifts. She feels that Xia Yunjie, a Chinese, is much more generous than Russians.

Not to mention Marina's secret comparison, even Sophia, who has always been very close to Vladimir, could not help but look down on him in his heart, thinking that he, a rich Russian son, was a little unworthy of his name and was really stingy.

Of course Vladimir didn't know this. After giving Marina the gift, he pointed at the young man beside him and said, "Let me introduce him. This is my friend Anufri. He has just come to Cyprus not long ago. He really wants to have a deeper experience of the living atmosphere of Cyprus locals, so I brought him, Marina won't mind."

"Of course not. I feel honored and happy that Mr. Anubli is here to attend my birthday party." Marina smiled.

"I'm glad to meet your beautiful Miss Marina, and I wish you a happy birthday." The young man known as Anubli also brought a gift and gave it out when congratulating him. It was also a gift worth nearly a hundred euros.

"Anuvri comes from our Moscow family, which is very influential in both politics and business circles. Yesterday I mentioned the matter of Queen Kenoviran to you. He mentioned it to me. His father Slava is the guest of honor for Her Majesty the Queen." After Anubri greeted Marina and others, Vladimir seemed to be afraid that Marina and the others would not know the dignity of Anubri's identity, and he looked a little show-off and added.

"Really? It's so amazing, so shocking." Marina and Sophia both shouted exaggeratedly, especially the latter. Seeing Anubli's eyes were already shining with stars.

"Haha, this is nothing. Oh, by the way, I don't know which city Mr. Xia comes from in China. I have been to China several times. My father also has a good relationship with Beijing. If you need help in China in the future, I will be happy." Anubli is obviously a playboy who loves to show off. Seeing Marina and Sophia's exaggerated expressions, he couldn't help but show off his face. However, when his eyes swept over Xia Yunjie's calm face, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xia Yunjie and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Anubli, I am from Jiangnan Province, China, but I don't think I need your Russians to help me in China." Xia Yunjie felt a little disgusted with this Anubli when he heard this, but he replied indifferently out of politeness, but anyone could hear it. The Chinese young man in front of him had already developed a little dissatisfaction with Mr. Anubli's arrogance.

Anubli and Vladimir's expression changed slightly when they heard this. They didn't expect that the Chinese man in front of them was quite proud.

"There are wine, drinks and some desserts over there. Please take whatever you like." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Marina hurriedly called Anubli and others to go to the yard to eat. Sophia even took the initiative to take Vladimir's hand and walked in.

Obviously, although Sofia thought Vladimir was not as generous as Xia Yunjie, it was obvious that a set of cosmetics from the "Ranya" Princess series could not change Xia Yunjie's status as inferior to Vladimir in Sofia's heart. After all, the latter is a rich son of Russia, who not only owns a luxury house, but also owns a private yacht.

After all, Marina's family is just an ordinary family, and this birthday party is just a dinner for ordinary people. In addition to drinks, wine and homemade desserts, today's main food is barbecue. Barbecue is also eaten immediately. Unlike some birthday parties of wealthy families, where there are long foods placed at the banquet and guests can take them. There are no waiters wearing white shirts and bow tie walking around the crowd with trays.

Under the vines, Marina's brother Andre was busy helping with the barbecue. The aroma of barbecue floated in the air with wisps of white smoke, adding a lot of atmosphere to the party.

Cypriots are obviously very enthusiastic about foreigners. When they saw Xia Yunjie coming, many people greeted him and asked him where he came from. When they heard that it was China, they all made surprise sounds, and some even gestured with exaggerated gestures, saying how small Cyprus is and how huge China is. Some have also been to China. When talking about the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Warriors, they were amazed repeatedly, which was really incredible and shocking.

However, compared to Xia Yunjie, Anubli and Vladimir are obviously more popular. This is also human nature. After all, Russians also belong to Europe in a traditional sense. Of course, the most important thing is because Anubli and Vladimir are rich sons.

In any country, money is always full of charm, and people always flock to it, and Cypriots are no exception. Many people chatted with Vladimir and said something with a hint of flattery.
