The two walked over and the middle-aged Jiang Zhenghe shook hands warmly.
"President Chen, long time no see."
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, long time no see, welcome."
When they shook hands, Mu Qingci noticed that the middle-aged woman standing next to her had been staring at her, so she nodded and smiled at her.
Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes lit up and she smiled at her.
After the two middle-aged men shook hands, Jiang Zheng introduced Mu Qingci first: "This is my junior sister Mu Qingci. I brought her here today to see the world."
"It turns out that he is also Mr. Peng's student. Welcome."
Mu Qingci had a decent smile on her face: "Hello, President Chen."
"Haha, okay." President Chen said, and introduced the woman next to him to them: "This is my little confidant. She should be about the same age as Xiao Mu. You two young people can play together later."
When Chen Zhiyi heard this, she walked to Mu Qingci, took her hand familiarly, and said with a smile: "We should be the two young girls attending this exchange meeting today. Let's go while the other guests are still here." If you don’t come, I will show you around first.”
Mu Qingci glanced at Jiang Zheng.
Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Mu Qingci followed Chen Zhiyi and walked inside.
Chen Zhiyi has a very cheerful personality, especially when both of them are wearing horse-faced skirts. She is even more enthusiastic about Mu Qingci.
"You don't know, the young people around me don't like to wear horse-faced skirts. They say I am an alien."
Mu Qingci didn't understand: "The horse-faced skirt is originally a traditional Chinese costume and was passed down from our ancestors. How can it be weird to wear it?"
"That's what I said, but those people just feel that wearing this is a bit strange."
"That's because they have no vision."
"I think so."
The two said, looking at each other and smiling.
The friendship between women is so wonderful. The two started talking about horse-faced skirts, and then moved on to antiques.
Chen Zhiyi's family was originally in the antique business, and there were many jewelry and antique shops in China.
"In addition to selling antiques, our family is also engaged in the jade and jade business." Chen Zhiyi said: "I have two brothers who are in the jade and jade business, so I follow my dad in playing antiques."
Both of them knew a lot about antiques, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
They didn't go out together until the guests arrived.
Many people brought antiques to this antique exchange meeting.
Mu Qingci discovered that private collections are so rich and colorful.
Mu Qingci stood in front of the glass cover of a Southern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon bowl with an octagonal string pattern and looked at it carefully.
Chen Zhiyi stood next to her and said, "I didn't expect that the Yao family still has this kind of collection. I also have one at home. My dad treats it like an ancestor. We have to stay one meter away to see it."
Mu Qingci said with a smile: "This kind of porcelain is rare, especially easy to break, so it must be well protected."
"Indeed, there are fewer and fewer porcelains like this in our country. The Cultural Relics Bureau should have a lot?"
"Not many, many are in museums in other countries."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyi snorted and said wildly: "Just wait, when one day I can be on my own, I will hire a group of mercenaries to get back all the Chinese cultural relics in those museums."
Mu Qingci turned her head and looked at her, and said to her seriously: "Tell me when you get it back, and I will write a copy for them. I want the whole world to know that we are the only things left by the ancestors of China. Only then can I understand them.”
Chen Zhiyi was inexplicably excited, took her hand and nodded: "Okay, it's settled."
After saying this, both of them couldn't help laughing.
Everyone eats here at noon.
Mu Qingci and Chen Zhiyi sat together.
Chen Zhiyi had just finished eating when he received a call.
At this time, everyone else was eating and talking about antiques. Mu Qingci was still listening carefully to what they were talking about about antiques, but suddenly she heard Chen Zhiyi’s unhappy and loud voice coming from next to her:
"I'm not going. The second young master of the Xue family couldn't choose me when choosing a concubine. I'm just going to be a foil. I also have to watch a group of women posing and posing like clowns, competing for the limelight. It's just a dirty look."
Not knowing what the other party said, Chen Zhiyi became even more unhappy: "If you want to get married, ask the eldest brother and the second brother to get married. If you force me again, I will become a nun!"
When Mu Qingci heard this, she looked at her with piercing eyes.
Chen Zhiyi just hung up the phone. When he saw Mu Qingci's eyes, he shrugged and complained: "It's so annoying when I grow up, being urged to get married every day."
Then he asked: "Ci Ci, were you also urged by your family to get married?"
"No, I'm still studying for a Ph.D., and my family is not in a hurry."
"I'm envious~ I've been pushed by my family for several years."
Mu Qingci gave her a sympathetic look.
Chen Zhiyi obviously didn't care much and changed the topic: "This exchange meeting should end at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Let's go play together in the evening to celebrate our friendship."
Mu Qingci smiled and nodded, "Okay."
As expected, the exchange meeting ended at 3:30, and when leaving, the Chen family gave everyone small gifts.
Chen Zhiyi also gave Mu Qingci a jade hairpin alone.
She said: "I wanted to change your hairpin at the first sight. Ciqi, you will definitely look better wearing a jade hairpin."
This jade hairpin was smooth and shiny, bright green all over, and the carved patterns were lifelike. Mu Qingci knew it was valuable at the first sight and was about to reject it. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiyi suddenly reached out and took the wooden hairpin away from her head, and placed it on her end. After her long hair fell down, she smiled and handed the hairpin to her: "I won't return this hairpin to you if you don't wear it."
Mu Qingci had no choice but to take the jade hairpin and put it on.
As soon as she put it on, Chen Zhiyi said in amazement: "Ci Ci, you are so suitable for wearing jade hairpins. Next time I will take you to try jade hairpins. They will definitely look good too."
Mu Qingci was startled and quickly refused: "No, these are too expensive."
She was already thinking about how to return the gift. For such an expensive hairpin, she couldn't be careless in her return gift.
"It's just a stone, and the money is made by rich people." After Chen Zhiyi finished speaking, he took her arm and said, "Let's go, we can go play. With you wearing a horse-faced skirt and going out with me, I feel like I Super confident.”
Mu Qingci smiled and said: "Then I will go and talk to my senior brother first."
"OK."
Mu Qingci went to talk to Jiang Zheng. Jiang Zheng was talking to Chairman Chen and several other people. When he heard that she wanted to play with Chen Zhiyi, he smiled and said, "Okay, but pay attention to safety and don't play too late." .”
"knew."
Mu Qingci said goodbye to a few people and went out with Chen Zhiyi.
Chen Zhiyi drove a red sports car, which was as flamboyant as she was. She smiled and said to Mu Qingci: "Let's go bomb the streets tonight and let everyone see how amazing Hua Guo's horse-faced skirts are."
"Um."
Chen Zhiyi took Mu Qingci to the antique street and let Mu Qingci buy several antique trinkets at extremely low prices.
It wasn't until dark that the two of them went to eat.
While waiting for the food to be served, Chen Zhiyi complained to Mu Qingci while scrolling through Moments: "Fortunately, I didn't go to the Xue family banquet today. It was so wonderful there. It is said that the eldest young master of the Xue family did not go back, and the second young master was cold the whole time." With a straight face, no matter how those women flirt in front of him, he doesn't notice, this banquet feels like a joke."
Mu Qingci didn't have much idea about upper class banquets, but she guessed something: "Is this banquet a blind date?"
"right."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyi's gossip factor became restless.
"Ci Ci, you know the Xue family, right?"
Mu Qingci nodded.
Chen Zhiyi: "The Xue family is a large family with a large population. It is said that there should be a large number of talents. However, the second generation of the Xue family has not produced a single business genius, so Mr. Xue has never chosen an heir from the second generation."
"But the Xue family's genes are really strong. The second generation was not very good, but the third generation directly produced several outstanding ones, especially the two young masters of Uncle Xue's family."
"Speaking of this, I have to mention the eldest son more. He is actually the most powerful one in the Xue family, but he was born with his mother's surname. He joined the army when he was a teenager. After serving in the army for more than ten years, he retired. He just opened a company of his own, and it is said that his company was backed by the military. Although he apparently quit, he actually didn’t quit at all.”
"It is said that Mr. Xue particularly wants to change his last name back."
Hearing this, Mu Qingci said unexpectedly: "This eldest young master should be the grandson of the Xue family. In such a big family, it is impossible for him to take his mother's surname. Is it possible that his mother's family is so powerful that even the Xue family is afraid?"
From ancient times to the present, big families value the surnames of their descendants.
"I don't know either. I heard from my mother that the eldest lady's family is not very powerful. This matter is an unsolved mystery in the circle." Chen Zhiyi talked about the second young master of the Xue family again.
"In addition to the eldest young master, there is the second young master. The second young master is also a business wizard. Mr. Xue directly cultivated him as his heir. But, the second young master said that he would not get married unless the eldest young master got married, so they are currently thirty years old. One is twenty-seven years old, and they are both single, so Mr. Xue and the eldest brother of the Xue family are worried."
"No, the Xue family throws a blind date banquet for them every once in a while. The eldest young master basically doesn't attend, and the second young master looks like he doesn't like anyone. Mr. Xue was so angry that he lost his temper many times."
Mu Qingci felt that this was a little different from the wealthy families she had heard about: "I thought the elders made the decision on marriages in wealthy families, but I didn't expect the two young masters of the Xue family to be so..." Mu Qingci thought for a while before finding an adjective: "Rebellious. "
"Haha... No, but they are really too powerful. Mr. Xue and Dafang can't control the eldest young master. The second young master often goes abroad to negotiate a big business worth billions and comes back. No matter how angry they are, they can't force them. Yes, Mr. Xue can only hold the Second Young Master in power and not hand over the position of president to him."
"The most interesting thing is that the other members of the Xue family want to remove the second young master from the position of heir."
