Chapter 431: Give roses as gifts, and the fragrance lingers in your hands
"Shopkeeper, Mr. Qi is here to bring you flowers again. This time it's a whole cart full of red roses! They smell so good, they smell so good..."
The little maid at the door shouted into the jewelry store.
Isn't the shopkeeper of Zhou Dafa Jewelry Store Zhou Yazhao?
Song Che didn't think it was that surprising. Zhou Yazhao was young and promising, with both virtue and skill. It was normal to have suitors.
Sure enough, Zhou Yazhao walked out of the jewelry store with a frown on his face. And when Song Che saw each mouthful, he suddenly became enlightened like an epiphyllum in full bloom.
Some people can't win a girl's heart even if they send 999 roses, and some people can win a beauty's smile even if they stand there.
"Song Che! When did you arrive?"
Zhou Yazhao came forward with a smile, unable to conceal his excitement at the reunion after a long absence.
"I just got off the passenger ship and came straight to you."
"Huh? Wenjun isn't here?"
"I will stay in Suzhou to take care of my family. We will move here on the seventh day of next month."
"Then it's good to be kind--"
"Hey, Shopkeeper Zhou, please collect them. These are freshly picked roses and they will wither easily!" the flower seller urged.
Zhou Yazhao was a little impatient, so he declined the salesman and said, "Please return this flower to Mr. Qi, and give me a message. I don't like flowers, and please don't spend any more money in the future."
"Huh?" The salesman scratched his head and was embarrassed: "But Mr. Qi also said that the flowers sent out cannot be taken back. The shopkeeper, Mr. Qi is also sincere. Even if you don't like it, just accept it, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain it when I go back. "
Zhou Yazhao glanced at Song Che and frowned slightly, wanting to refuse again.
Song Che asked the salesman, "Have you paid for this car?"
The salesman nodded and said yes.
"The flowers have been picked and the money has been given. If you don't want it, you can only let it wither. Let's just accept it." Song Che said.
"okay!"
The salesman quickly carried the flowers to the eaves.
Zhou Yazhao sighed: "Accepting Mr. Qi's flowers is somewhat of a favor. If you don't pay it back, alas... I really shouldn't accept this flower."
Song Che shook his head without saying anything. He picked up a flower and gave it to a female customer who had just left the house. He said politely: "Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance in your hands. If you are satisfied with the product, please give it to me when someone asks me about it in the future." Hope you give me a good review."
What woman doesn't like flowers?
How lucky and happy it is to be given flowers by others when you go out?
The female customer was flattered at first, then smiled, happily accepted the roses, and said: "I came here to have a look, but now that I have accepted your flowers, let me buy a jar of white jade paste." After that, she turned back seriously. I went to the store and bought a jar of white jade paste to take away.
Song Che pointed at the female customer who was smelling flowers while walking and said with a smile, "Look, flowers are very useful. If you don't want them, you can give them to customers. If they don't want them, you can send them to the rouge shop as spices."
Zhou Yazhao couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Boss Song still knows how to do business."
Therefore, every customer who comes in and out of the jewelry store, regardless of whether they make a purchase or not, will receive a rose as a gift. After collecting the flowers, some people lost face and went back to the shop to make a symbolic purchase.
One flower, one compliment. Ten flowers, one repeat customer. It's all earned.
After settling the embroiderers, Zhou Yazhao had a carriage prepared and took Song Che and Lin Yue to the Dongcheng residence.
"Originally, this house belonged to Zhang Yuanwai. Later, the Zhang family offended someone in the court. Old Yuanwai sold the property and fields, and the family moved to other places... Although this house is not as big as Zhou's mansion, it is It is also one of the best luxury houses in Hangzhou. It faces the sea to the east and the market to the west. It has excellent feng shui. Even the sale price cost nearly 200,000 yuan."
While Zhou Yazhao took Song Che and the others to look at the house, he introduced the past, advantages and disadvantages of the house.
What is the concept of two hundred thousand guan? If converted into modern RMB, it would be about 100 million.
The average monthly income of ordinary people in Hangzhou is 20 guan, which is 240 guan a year. If they want to buy such a house, they will have to save for more than 800 years without eating or drinking.
Housing prices in Hangzhou are too expensive. The same house in Suzhou can be purchased for 30% less.
However, fortunately, it was worth the money. Song Che took a tour of the mansion. He was very satisfied with the location, layout, and size.
Zhou Yazhao specially dispatched servants to guard the place, and he would send someone to clean it once a month. The furniture and kitchen utensils were all complete, and you only needed to bring your bags to move in.
In late autumn, night came quickly. Song Che simply made a bed. For the next half month, he would live in the house and plan the layout carefully.
After showing the house to Zhou Yazhao, she was ready to get on the carriage and go home. However, during the time they were together, she would always look a little dazed from time to time, as if she had something to say, but it was difficult to say it.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Che looked at her words and asked before she left.
Zhou Yazhao hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's about Mr. Qi today... Mr. Qi's name is Qi Hong. His family is a famous businessman in Wenzhou, specializing in rouge and spices. Last month he came to Hangzhou to find a jewelry store to purchase white jade paste. We We have just met each other, but who would have expected that he would secretly have a crush on me..."
"Um……"
Song Che said very calmly: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much, just follow your inner choice."
Zhou Yazhao said quickly: "Don't misunderstand me. I really don't like Qi Hong at all. I only regard him as a customer."
"Then why didn't you reject him decisively?" Song Che asked.
Zhou Yazhao sighed, "The amount of white jade paste ordered by the Qi family is very large. I am afraid that these things will affect the business between the two families, but every time I politely refuse, he refuses to give up.
I only met Qi Hong twice in total, and we never spoke more than ten words each time. But suddenly one day, he started sending me flowers, snacks every once in a while, and invited me to banquets many times... …”
Song Che frowned slightly.
From what it sounds like, this Qi Hong is either a shameless licking dog, or a wolf warrior who has been in love for a long time.
Zhou Yazhao holds the palm of the Zhou family and is the general agent of the Shen family in Hangzhou. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the "richest woman in Hangzhou". If anyone can marry her, it will not only be a gold brick but a gold mountain. .
"Qi Hong, where do you live?" Song Che asked.
Zhou Yazhao said: "He ordered eight hundred cans of pearl white jade ointment and is currently staying at Wangjiang Inn to wait for the goods to be replenished."
Song Che nodded, "Okay, I'll go meet him tomorrow to see what kind of person this person is and how dare he harass my aunt!"
"Song Che," Zhou Yazhao hesitated, tilted his head and asked, "In your heart, am I just your aunt?"
Song Che rubbed his nose and said softly: "Isn't this just a pass?"
Seemingly hearing a satisfactory answer, she smiled and stepped onto the carriage, "See you tomorrow then." She got into the car.
The moonlight in Hangzhou is equally beautiful.
