the next morning.
As soon as Gu Jia woke up, she received a phone call. The content on the phone made her extremely moved.
It turns out that something happened to the fireworks company of Xu Huanshan's good friend Shen Jie last night. It was said that the production line exploded and two workers died on the spot.
After getting the news, Xu Huanshan, who was on a business trip in the capital, immediately flew back and went to Shen Jie's home with Gu Jia to check on the situation.
They met Shen Jie's wife and learned from Shen Jie's wife that Shen Jie had been taken away by the police overnight. The company was facing huge fines and compensation for injured and injured employees. Shen Jie would definitely go to jail, and the company's bankruptcy was inevitable. .
Fortunately, they had already prepared a way out, bought a house in Australia in the name of their mother-in-law, and left some savings.
Shen Jie's wife plans to take refuge abroad with her one-month-old child.
Duo Tuo's family was destroyed and displaced.
Looking at Shen Jie's wife who was sobbing, Gu Jia felt mixed feelings and emotions.
Shen Jie and Xu Huanshan were both engaged in the fireworks business. Seeing the fate of Shen Jie's family, Gu Jia seemed to see her own future. She became extremely anxious and eager to find a new way out for her family.
the other side.
Yang Chen also got customized metal playing cards from the hardware company.
This kind of metal playing card is the same size and thickness as normal playing cards. It is made of a tough alloy and will not break when broken, making it easy to reuse.
Each metal playing card weighs about 42 grams.
Yang Chen held a metal card in his hand, as if juggling, the metal card flew between his fingers.
Then he flicked his wrist, and the metal plate flew out with a "swish", flashing like lightning, and was nailed to a big tree seven or eight meters away with a "ding", nearly half of the way into the wood. Inch deep, the tail of the card is vibrating with a "buzzing" sound.
Seeing the power of this blow, Yang Chen showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"The master-level Flying Card Technique is only as powerful as that."
"With my talent, if I want to achieve this effect with ordinary playing cards, I will have to practice hard for at least several years."
Just change the card and save years of hard practice.
"However, there are still some subtle differences between metal cards and ordinary playing cards. We need to become more familiar with them in the future to maximize the accuracy and lethality of metal cards."
Back home, Yang Chen put most of the metal cards in the safe, leaving only a hundred in the golden space.
At this time, the large safe was almost completely filled, and he looked at the jadeite stones stored there.
Yang Chen picked up his cell phone and called Jiang Lai.
"It's rare, Boss Yang. I thought you were missing. Why are you willing to call me?" Jiang Lai's sinister voice came from the phone.
"Haha, it's my fault. I thought Beauty Jiang didn't want to see me, so I never dared to disturb you..." Humble Xiaoyang came online.
"To be courteous for nothing, to be either a traitor or a thief...Tell me, do you have anything to ask of me?" Jiang Lai heard something from his tone.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Beauty Jiang. I really need your help." Yang Chen complimented.
"I knew that was the case. Tell me, what's the matter?" Jiang Lai said.
"It's not a big deal. I recently got a few pieces of jadeite. I want to ask Miss Jiang if she knows any jade carving designers." Yang Chen said.
Jade carving is a very high-end industry. After thinking about it, among the people he knew, Jiang Lai was the only one who could have anything to do with jade carving.
"Are you still playing with jade?" Hearing Yang Chen's words, Jiang Lai became interested. "I do know a good jade designer, but his requirements are very high. People are too lazy to deal with ordinary jade. You first Bring me the jade and let me see it."
"Don't worry, I can definitely get the jade." Yang Chen said. "Where are you?"
"I'm at xxxx..." Jiang Lai said his address.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen took out three pieces of high-ice jadeite from the safe and went to the address given by Jiang Lai.
Soon, he arrived at a villa in the outer ring.
Jiang Lai appeared in front of Yang Chen wearing a gauze-like black lace suspender skirt. Yang Chen was about to go up and give her a hug, but Jiang Lai reached out and pushed her away: "Where's the jade, take it out and let me see it."
"good."
Yang Chen took out three pieces of jade from the plastic bag and placed them on the table.
"Is it true that you use shopping bags to pack jadeite?" Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of jadeite, and observed it carefully.
"Nonsense, what I took out could be a fake. Isn't this insulting?" Yang Chen said.
"The texture of these pieces of jade looks good." Jiang Lai clicked his tongue and took another piece of jade in his hand to play with.
"Of course, this is the high-ice jade I got from Zhimiandian. There are definitely not many jadeite with higher quality than this on the market." Yang Chen said.
"Not bad." Jiang Lai was delighted to see Hunter Xin, and said without any politeness at all, "By the way, I'll celebrate my birthday in a few days. When the jadeite is carved, you can give me two pieces as a gift."
"No problem, the jewelry is carved, you can choose whatever you want." Yang Chen said directly. The quality of these three jadeite pieces in his inventory is not high. Once they are carved, they will be given away or sold. It doesn't matter if you give a few pieces to Jiang Lai.
"So generous?" Jiang Lai glanced at him in surprise.
"What's that look in your eyes? Do you think I'm so stingy?" Yang Chen said angrily.
"Okay, just assume I'm wrong. I'll call the designer first to see if he has time..."
Jiang Lai immediately picked up his cell phone and called the jade designer. After a brief conversation, he hung up the phone and said to Yang Chen: "He is currently participating in a jewelry exhibition abroad and will not be back until two days later."
"Okay, then I will leave the jade here with you first. When he comes back, you can just hand it over to him." Yang Chen was very relieved about Jiang Lai and was not worried that she would lose these pieces of jade.
"That's okay." Jiang Lai nodded, "Do you have any design requirements?"
"There are no requirements. Let him decide how to maximize the value of the jade." Yang Chen said casually.
"Okay, I'll let you know when the jade is ready." Jiang Lai said.
"Thank you then." After saying that, Yang Chen reached out to hold her waist.
pia~
Jiang Lai slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?"
"Thank you." Yang Chen said.
"Is this how you thank others? Who do you think I am?" Jiang Lai looked at him with a half-smile.
"P...friend." Yang Chen quickly changed his words.
"Get out!" Jiang Lai heard his original thoughts and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Really don't want it? You enjoyed it very much the first two times." Yang Chen said again.
"Get out of here!" Jiang Lai became angry.
After leaving Jiang Lai's villa, Yang Chen touched his nose with regret and muttered secretly in his heart.
"Ha, man!"
When others are rushing to find you, you don't appreciate it. When others reject you, you feel a little uncomfortable.
…
this day.
Yang Chen went to Ruijing Mansion to find Wang Manni. When passing by a supermarket, he stopped the car and went in to buy something.
After Xu Li paid the bill, she came out of the supermarket carrying her things. When she glanced at the roadside, her expression suddenly changed. She saw a very familiar car.
It was Yang Chen's silver-gray Ferrari.
Xu Li suddenly froze, and the memories of her time with Yang Chen suddenly came to her mind. Her skin felt like electricity, her whole body trembled, and she walked away quickly.
Over the past month, she has been coming to this supermarket twice a day, hoping to meet Yang Chen again.
After waiting for a month, she finally saw this familiar car again.
Yang Chen hadn't come out yet, so she had to wait for him by the car.
After a while, two pretty girls aged 18 or 19 came out of the supermarket and their eyes suddenly lit up when they saw the Ferrari on the roadside.
"Look, is that a Ferrari 812? I heard this car costs more than five million yuan to buy!" said the girl with long hair.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that there are people driving this kind of car to the supermarket to buy things. Let's go over and take some photos and post them on a certain channel. Maybe we can get a wave of fans." said the short-haired girl.
"Okay, okay."
The two girls walked quickly to the car and saw Xu Li standing on the roadside.
"Sister, is this your car?" the long-haired girl asked.
"Lili, what's wrong with your look?" Before Xu Li could answer, the short-haired girl had already spoken. She looked at Xu Li contemptuously and said with a look of disgust: "The total cost of this aunt's outfit is less than one thousand yuan, how is that possible? You can afford to drive a car of this level.”
"That's right...Auntie, step aside. Jiaojiao, please take the picture for me first." The long-haired girl pushed Xu Li away, walked to the car, and leaned her upper body on the Ferrari, posing in a very enchanting pose.
"Okay..." The short-haired girl took out her mobile phone and was about to take a picture of her.
"What are you doing? No photography is allowed here." Xu Li suddenly became angry and pulled the long-haired girl away.
"Is there something wrong with you? Where does it say no photography is allowed?" The long-haired girl looked a little unhappy.
"That's right. Auntie, we can shoot wherever we like. What does it have to do with you?" the short-haired girl also said coldly.
"This is my friend's car." Xu Li said.
"Tch, you said he was your friend, he was your friend, and I said he was my friend." The long-haired girl looked disdainful, not believing her words at all.
"You are so vain at such a young age. Is it interesting to take advantage of other people's cars?" Xu Li lectured.
"Auntie, stop pretending. You are standing here because you want to chat with the car owner, but you still have the nerve to talk to us. We are all in harmony with each other, and we all rely on our abilities." said the long-haired girl.
"It's just that at such an old age, you still want to learn how to strike up a conversation. I don't know where you get the confidence. Are you as young as us? Besides, we are two people and you are alone. If I were you, I would leave quickly to avoid asking for it. It's boring..." The short-haired girl mocked sarcastically.
"You...I told you, this is my friend's car." Xu Li was very angry.
"Pretend, keep pretending..." The two girls looked at her with sneers.
Didi--
At this moment, Ferrari's lights suddenly flashed.
Yang Chen came over at some point, still holding the car keys in his hand.
When the two girls saw Yang Chen, they seemed to change their faces, and the sneers on their faces instantly disappeared.
"Brother, you are so handsome. Is this your car?" the long-haired girl said with a sweet smile.
"Brother, can you take us for a ride..." the short-haired girl hinted directly.
Seeing Yang Chen appear, Xu Li's body immediately tensed up and she looked at him nervously, fearing that he was still angry with her.
"Sorry, my car can only seat two people." Yang Chen smiled.
"It doesn't matter, I can sit on your lap." The long-haired girl said softly.
"Haha, I can't fit two people on my lap." Yang Chen chuckled, pointed to Xu Li, and said, "She is my friend, and there is already someone in the passenger seat. There is no room for you here, you can go. .”
"ah!"
The two girls' expressions suddenly looked dumbfounded, and they felt like countless slaps were being slapped on their faces.
"Sorry to bother you."
"Let's go first."
The two girls glanced at Xu Li awkwardly and ran away without the shame to stay here any longer.
Xu Li felt as if she had drunk Bingkuola, her heart was so happy, and a cheerful smile could not help but appear on her face.
Even a psychiatrist has trouble controlling his expression.
"Long time no see." Yang Chen said to Xu Li.
"Long time no see." Xu Li looked at Yang Chen, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"What do you want from me?" Yang Chen said calmly.
"I... I'm here to apologize to you." Xu Li looked uneasy, "I misunderstood you before. The person who robbed you that day was indeed mentally ill. I was self-righteous and wrongly blamed you... I'm sorry!"
Xu Li bowed down and apologized to Yang Chen very solemnly.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's a misunderstanding, just let it go." Yang Chen smiled.
"Well... let me treat you to dinner." Xu Li said again.
"Okay, let's get in the car." Yang Chen said.
After a while, the two came to a very design restaurant.
Xu Li skillfully ordered several signature dishes.
"The environment of this restaurant is good. Do you come here often?" Yang Chen said.
"Since it's an apology, it's natural to show sincerity." Xu Li smiled, and then said sadly: "Actually, I don't know anything about food, but my... ex-husband likes this kind of petty things, and this restaurant is also his He brought me here. In fact, he proposed to me here, and we would come here to have dinner every anniversary. Last year, I even lost a scarf that I liked. Who knew that this year, everyone would lose it? …”
"That's his loss." Yang Chen raised his glass and consoled him.
Ding!
Xu Li raised her wine glass and touched it with him, took a sip and said casually: "Let's not talk about him anymore. By the way, do you know how I found out that that person was mentally ill?"
"How did you find it?" Yang Chen asked.
"After the robber robbed us, he went to commit another crime soon, and was caught by the police. The Public Security Bureau asked me to conduct a mental evaluation on the prisoner. When I arrived at the Public Security Bureau, I recognized that person at a glance..." Xu Li recounted what happened that day and finally said, "By the way, your watch is still in the Public Security Bureau. Go get it back when you have time."
"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten it." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"I apologize to you again for almost losing something so important." Xu Li raised her glass.
