Chapter 96 [Water Pearl Emerald]
After hearing what Zou Yue'e said, I wish I could hit her head and die on the curb. It was embarrassing, so embarrassing. This is the most shameful thing I have ever done in my life, but I never expected that I was caught by Zou Yue'e and made a move! I was dizzy! Since you were awake at that time, why didn't I stop me when I touched you? If you don't pretend to be asleep, I can't make a mistake!
"Aunt Zou, it's not like that. I, I'll answer the phone first." I dodged my eyes and didn't dare to look at Zou Yue'e's eyes. After taking the phone from her, I paid attention to the people around me, then held my tone and pretended to be very unhappy and said, "Hey, you are Wei Bin, Yue'e is my girlfriend. Don't bother her endlessly in the future..."
I wanted to say something, but Zou Yue'e took the phone over, "...I heard it? That's it, I'm hanging up the wire."
The atmosphere stagnated. Looking at Zou Yue'e who put her phone back in her bag, I hurriedly explained: "I really don't have any ideas about you. Yes, there is a small advertisement that has been posted on your skirt. I will help you take it off, then, then..." I stammered and didn't explain clearly. Looking at Aunt Zou's smile on the corner of her mouth, I slapped my forehead: "...It's eight o'clock, I have to go to the store quickly." After that, he left as if he ran away.
It's over and I'm completely embarrassed. What kind of shame do I have to see Aunt Zou in the future?
I was so embarrassed that I was so angry that I was hiding from her far away whenever Aunt Zou walked by in the morning.
However, Zou Yue'e should do whatever she should do, as usual, as if nothing had happened.
As the lunch break approached, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut came out of the sales manager's office. Aunt Zou smiled and sent him out, saying that Boss Xing walked slowly. Boss Xing also said politely: "Manager Zou, don't send him, go back." When the office door was closed, he turned toward the elevator. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, stopped his pace, turned around and walked towards me. After glanced at the shelves, he pointed to a tea set with a thermometer and said: "How to sell this?"
I said, "Six hundred and five."
Boss Xing frowned and said, "It's cheaper."
I said, "We all have clearly marked prices here, which is already the lowest."
"Are you new here?" Boss Xing glanced at me in displeasure and waved his hand out like a fly: "Go, come and change someone."
Before I could speak, Aunt Zhang, who was standing beside her, hurriedly walked over with a smile: "Oh, it's Boss Xing. What piece do you want to buy? Tell me."
I was speechless and had to retreat aside.
During lunch break, I quickly finished the work at hand, and then I thought of taking a walk around the nearby jadeite place, but I didn't pay attention and just walked on the stairs with Zou Yue'e. I took a breath, turned my head to the right, pretending not to see her.
"Xiao Jing." She turned around and called me: "Is the food in the cafeteria good? Why do you see you running out of Tea City every day at noon?"
I could only grit my teeth and smiled, "No, I went to the mall at noon and ate on the way."
"Mall? Go and see jade again?"
"Uh, that's right."
Zou Yue'e said, "I don't know what you are doing when you look at that thing. Just now, I heard a customer say that I ordered a jadeite with a tea shop on Yifang. It seemed to be some kind of glass. Haha, I can't understand it either."
I was stunned: "Glass? Where is it?"
The elevator had already reached the first floor, and Zou Yue'e pointed across from her finger: "Hey, it seems I bought it at B033."
I touched my nose awkwardly: "You are going to have a meal, then, goodbye Aunt Zou."
Zou Yue'e's lips raised a funny point: "Am I a demon or a ghost? Are you so afraid of me? Have you been hiding for a whole morning?"
I was immediately ashamed and dizzy. I was caught by you when I touched my thigh. How could I not be afraid of you?
The eyelids drooped slightly, and Zou Yue'e's charming eyes turned around my face: "...I don't have a good memory. I have forgotten what happened last night. Don't run away when I see me in the future. What does it look like? Do you know?"
I hummed and agreed, and waited for Zou Yue'e to leave before she let out a long sigh.
She said she forgot, that is, she forgives me? She doesn’t care anymore? Alas, she doesn’t think about it anymore, it’s important to find jadeite.
Since Aunt Zou said that the piece of green was booked by someone else, I didn’t have much hope and moved towards B033 with the mentality of hitting the great fortune.
The first floor was contracted from the building and did not belong to our company. There are dozens of tea and tea sets, and most of them are scattered merchants, and the competition is extremely fierce.
When I walked into this shop that sells Pu'er tea, I saw a thin man under fifty years old in the house. He was holding a teacup and smiling at me: "What kind of tea should I see?"
I couldn't ask directly, so I pretended to be a tea seller and looked at the Pu'er tea on the shelves and several large pockets beside the wall.
Maybe the business was not good, and the thin boss seemed very enthusiastic. He kept introducing the tea leaves in the store to me, and brought a tea set, brewed a pot of tea for me to try it for free. We sat face to face at the tea table inside, and suddenly, a dazzling green pierced my eyes. A red rope hung around the neck of the thin boss. The bottom end of the rope was decorated with a very green jade pendant, but it only exposed the pointed upper part, and it could not tell what shape it was. The lower part was buried in the thin boss's shirt.
I started the topic: "Hey, is this jade on your neck good?"
The thin boss smiled and pulled the jade out of his collar, "Cui is very verdant, but we, a big man, really has something to do with it." Only then did I see it clearly. It was a draped ornament in the shape of water droplets, very delicate, very natural, and beautiful.
I tasted the tea and pondered and tentatively said, "I also want to make a glass jade, but I haven't found a suitable one. Well, are you willing to sell it?"
"Haha, it's hard to find glass-type things. I'm willing to sell them, but this thing has been booked and left. I'm sorry."
"Oh, that's it, it's okay."
Anyway, I was idle, so I chatted with Boss Skinny. Through further conversations, I learned that this water drop jade was a gift he gave to his lover when he was young. However, a few years ago, his lover died of illness and the things were always on his neck. In recent days, the tea business has become increasingly difficult and there are problems with capital turnover. The Boss Skinny gritted his teeth and found a buyer. He wanted to use the money he exchanged for jade to continue to support the business. Otherwise, he would not want to sell this very meaningful thing.
After hearing his words, I hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "If it is convenient, can I tell me how much that person has bid?"
He dipped his fingers into the water marks on the tea table and wrote three numbers on the wood surface - 108.
One million and eighty thousand?
