Life 1984

After sending Chen Meilin away, Li Yunhai called Guo Wanhua.

Guo Wanhua was lying on the bed, applying a facial mask. She used purely natural ingredients, cucumber slices, and some plant extract essences.

"Hai of Yun." Guo Wanhua had something on her face and could only speak softly, her voice seemed particularly soft.

"Sister Guo, is Meilin not with you?"

"No, I'm already lying in bed. I'm going to sleep after doing this facial mask. What's wrong?"

"Tell you something."

"Oh, you say."

"Are you taking birth control pills?"

"Well, yes! I can't do it without eating. I'm so old. If I get pregnant again, it's no joke. I have a son and a daughter now, and I'm very satisfied."

"Meilin saw the pill box you threw."

"what?"

"Meilin also knows that you have been widowed for many years and have never had a man around you. Suddenly seeing something like this, she was inevitably curious, so she came to talk to me. She even suspected that I was that man."

"This little brat is so arrogant! Oh! Just see it when you see it! I gave her that damn old man, a living widow after so many years, that's enough, right? Can't I find a man? Do you want her to agree?"

"Meilin was very emotional and said she wanted to pay a killer to kill the man."

"Pfft!" Guo Wanhua burst into laughter!
The cucumber slices on her face fell off one by one.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Guo Wanhua said with a smile, "She is the only one who kills people? Give her a fish and see if she dares to kill it!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm just telling you, be careful in the future and don't let her find out any more clues. I don't think she's in a good mood."

"We are all adults, how can we have so much emotional value?" Guo Wanhua said, "When I was her age, I was already taking care of children! But she is still like a child and needs adults to coax her!"

"Okay, as long as you know this."

Just as Guo Wanhua was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Mommy? Are you asleep?" came Chen Meilin's sweet voice.

Guo Wanhua said, "I'm not asleep yet. Is there anything wrong?"

Li Yunhai heard it on the other side of the phone and hung up the phone.

Chen Meilin opened the door and came in, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Mommy, are you lonely when you are usually alone?"

"Oh, yes!" Guo Wanhua thought of Li Yunhai's words and knew what her daughter was going to say, so she said, "It's quite lonely to be alone. I'm not like you, who knows so many musical instruments and has so many hobbies. I don't know anything. I don’t understand, it’s boring to be alone.”

"Mommy, have you found an uncle for me and my brother?" Chen Meilin finally stopped pretending and went straight to show her cards.

"Yeah!" Guo Wanhua didn't want to pretend anymore and said more directly, "Mommy is a woman and needs a man."

Chen Meilin was stunned, the rhythm of the conversation was disrupted, and the initiative was taken by Guo Wanhua.

She instantly didn't know what to say.

"Then, then, will you and him get married?"

"No!" Guo Wanhui answered resolutely, "He has a happy family, a young and beautiful wife, and several cute and well-behaved children. He will not divorce because of me!"

"Then you are with him, what do you want from him?" Chen Meilin asked angrily.

A gentle smile appeared on Guo Wanhua's lips, and she said: "It's not that I want anything from him, but that I need him. I need the care and love he gives me! I need the few moments of good time he spends with me! Meilin , Have you ever liked a man? If you have, you will understand. When you like someone, you don’t want anything from him, it’s just that you need his love and can’t live without it.”

Chen Meilin was stunned.

She also misses someone and loves someone.

She also misses a man's care and doesn't want anything from him.

So, she understood Mommy.

Guo Wanhua took her daughter's hand and said, "Mommy has endured loneliness for many years in order to bring you up. Now I don't want to endure it anymore. Can you understand Mommy?"

"Well, Mommy, I can understand." Chen Meilin nodded and said, "Mommy, I have made you suffer. Who is your uncle? Please invite him home for a meal, and let's get to know him!"

Guo Wanhua said in a daze: "He, he is a man with a family, so he usually doesn't want to show up. He and I only get together occasionally, maybe a few times a year!"

"Ah? What kind of relationship does this have?"

"Lover!"

"No, if they are lovers, they should be inseparable and want to be together every day."

"It doesn't matter. Mei Lin, go to sleep!"

Chen Meilin suddenly asked: "Is he my brother? Is he my brother? Li Yunhai!"

Guo Wanhua choked instantly and coughed hard for a long time before saying, "What are you talking about? Go to sleep!"

Chen Meilin had no choice but to torture her mother to extract a confession, right?
It was almost twelve o'clock when Lin Zhi and the others returned home after watching the movie.

When sleeping at night, Lin Zhi was very proactive.

When Li Yunhai asked, he realized that what they were watching was a romance movie.

As you can imagine, there are many beautiful scenes in Hong Kong romance films.

Lin Zhi was moved by the language of the movie's lens.

The next day, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

Nothing to do today.

There is no need for him to keep an eye on the branch office every day.

He then accompanied Linzhi and the others to go shopping.

There are still a few places to play in Xiangjiang.

Tai Yi Shan, Victoria Peak, Central District, Ocean Park, Victoria Harbour, History Museum, Shek O Beach, Temple Street Night Market and so on.

When you go shopping, you have more choices.

Xiangjiang has developed commerce, and the streets are full of century-old shops.

The inheritance of many old crafts is difficult to find in China, but can be seen on the streets of Xiangjiang.

Because Xiangjiang is small, all industries are concentrated together.

Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan and Lin Xin, holding hands, became a beautiful scene on the streets of Xiangjiang.

They went into a goldsmith's shop.

This store only sells old gold.

Old gold is the gold of the past, which is a kind of gold with lower gold content and higher impurities.

The reason why it is called old gold is because the previous gold purification technology was not good, which resulted in a lot of impurities in the gold, making it darker and look old.

The gold content of this kind of gold is usually as low as 50%, while the purity of gold on the modern market is generally above 99%, and the highest purity is even four nines.

But among a specific group, Lao Jin is very popular.

From a purely pure point of view, the purity of old gold is not as high as that of today's gold.

However, the real value of old gold is not reflected in the purity of the gold, but in its craftsmanship and historical value.

Old Gold has experienced the precipitation of time and can withstand the ups and downs of history before it can have a place on the stage of history.

If old gold with a long history is coupled with good craftsmanship, its market value is much higher than its material value.

Many shops in Xiangjiang sell old gold, and it has the original taste. The original craftsmanship is what it is, and it is still the same now, without any new processing.

Li Yunhai looked at the items in the store and felt that the old gold looked more beautiful than the new gold.

Doesn’t gold look bad after being purified?

Or were the craftsmen of the past, whose craftsmanship was much higher than it is now?
Lin Zhi took a fancy to a headdress made by Lao Jin and said, "It looks good, but I have no chance to wear it. Modern people rarely wear such a big headdress."

Shen Xiulan said: "You can wear it when attending important dinners. There are really no occasions where you can use it. Miss, can you take it out and take a look?" The teller is a snob. He knew that they were speaking Mandarin. He was from the mainland. He put his hands on the counter and said with a look of disdain: "This is old gold jewelry. It's very expensive! Most people can't afford it. You guys from the mainland, just take a look."

Shen Xiulan was startled and said: "I wonder which of your eyes can tell that we can't afford it? Isn't it just a lump of gold? It seems like we have no money to buy it!"

The teller curled his lips and said: "This is not ordinary gold, this is old gold! It is as precious as the cultural relics in our mainland!"

Shen Xiulan sneered and said: "This is just a cultural relic? Who are you bluffing? I know about Lao Jin. Isn't it just the gold used by people in the past? There are so many impurities. If you take it for recycling, other shops won't necessarily take it! Even if you accept it, the price is ridiculously low! ”

The teller was even more disdainful and said: "Countries, what do you know? This is a handicraft! It is a work of art! Those bronze cultural relics are definitely not worth anything if they are sold by the pound!"

Li Yunhai said: "Then tell me, which dynasty does this jewelry come from? And which celebrity or emperor used it?"

The teller was stunned and said: "That is not a royal thing, but it is also a treasure from the Qing Dynasty!"

Li Yunhai asked: "How much does the goldware from the Qing Dynasty sell for now? This is it."

The teller said: "15!"

Li Yunhai saw her boasting about it before and thought it was so expensive. Hearing this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "I thought it was so precious! 15 yuan of jewelry is not worthy of my wife's status! And this kind of thing is not worthy of my wife's status." Things are not impossible to copy. With advanced technology, the gold jewelry produced is even more beautiful.”

Seeing his loud tone, the teller sneered: "Sir, you're talking lightly, you can brag if you can afford it! 15 Hong Kong dollars, your monthly salary for mainlanders is only a few hundred yuan? This is something you can't afford in your life." of."

Li Yunhai said calmly: "You must have never been to the mainland, because you know nothing about the mainland. There are more than one billion people in the mainland, do you think everyone's salary is a few hundred yuan? There are millions of people in Xiangjiang, and everyone's salary Do you have 20,000 or 30,000 yuan? You guess your salary is only 5,000 yuan!”

The teller was stunned and couldn't find the words to retort.

Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi: "Do you like it? If you like it, buy it."

Lin Zhi said: "It's okay! Forget it, I won't buy it, mainly because there is no suitable usage scenario."

Lin Xin said: "That's right, it's better to buy a pure diamond tiara, at least it will sparkle!"

When the teller heard that they didn't want to buy it, he frowned again: "I knew you didn't have money to buy it! What are you pretending to be here?"

Lin Xin was so angry that she grabbed Lin Zhi's hand, raised her wrist, exposed her watch, and said, "Do you know this? I can buy a dozen old gold jewelry like yours with just one watch! You can't even afford something worth hundreds of thousands." You’re so ignorant! Go out and see more when you have time! The world is bigger than you think!”

The teller looked at the expensive diamond-encrusted watch and couldn't help but be stunned.

She is just a waiter at the lowest level in Xiangjiang. Her salary is not high and her life is difficult. Let alone traveling abroad, she has never been to the mainland.

Regarding the stereotypes in the Mainland, she only heard what others said.

Today, Li Yunhai and the others gave him a tough education lesson.

Lin Zhi and the others left the gold shop.

Lin Xin said: "I really don't know where these tellers get their sense of superiority? Aren't they just helping people sell things on the platform? Are they selling their superiority?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "There are people like this everywhere. Aren't the counter ladies in state-owned stores in China the same as looking down on the top? People in the city look down on country people, and locals look down on outsiders. This has been true since ancient times, so there is a saying , It’s cheap to ask people to leave their hometown! It’s expensive to leave their hometown.”

Lin Zhi said: "That's the truth, so don't pay attention to them."

A luxury sports car drove over and parked on the side of the road. The door opened and an elegant woman stepped out of the car.

She took off her sunglasses, looked at Li Yunhai, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

When Li Yunhai saw that the person was He Yongyun, he was surprised and said, "Miss He! Why are you here?"

He Yongjun was wearing a noble and elegant short skirt today, revealing her long, slender white legs. The neckline on her chest was cut a little low, showing off the undulating hills.

Her hair was disheveled, she wore light makeup, her lips were red, her face was fair, and her facial features were three-dimensional and delicate.

This image was completely different from the one she saw that night.

Before, she looked like a pure female college student.

Today, she looks like a beautiful big sister.

He Yongjun raised his hand gracefully, pointed to a building next to him, and said, "My company is here, and I'm here to work. Where are you?"

Li Yunhai said: "Go shopping."

He Yongyun looked at Lin Zhi and the others and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Li is so lucky, there are so many beauties around him!"

Li Yunhai pointed at Lin Zhi and the three of them, and said calmly: "This is my wife, this is my sister-in-law, and this is my friend."

He Yongjun snorted, stretched out his hand, shook Lin Zhi's hand, and said with a smile, "It's Mrs. Li! Sorry."

Lin Zhi smiled slightly and said gently: "Hello."

He Yongyun said: "Mr. Li, I just have something to ask you. It's a matter of cooperation between our two families. It's better to meet by chance than to invite you. Why don't you invite you to my company?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself that the last time Chen Meilin went on a blind date, the He family had a big disagreement, which would probably affect the cooperation between the two families.

Now that we have the opportunity, it would be good to mend the relationship between the two families.

So, he said to Lin Zhi: "You go for a walk first, and I will come find you later."

Lin Zhi and the other three nodded and left.

He Yongyun invited Li Yunhai to the entrance of the building.

The gold shop that Li Yunhai and the others visited before was right at the entrance of the building.

A teller ran out from there, who was serving Li Yunhai and the others just now. She came to He Yongyun, handed over an account book, and said: "Miss He, this is yesterday's revenue record, please take a look."

He Yongyun did not answer, but said: "Send it to my office later!"

The teller was surprised to see Li Yunhai standing with Miss He and asked, "Miss He, who is he?"

He Yongyun said: "He is my distinguished guest! He is the chairman of Sihai Group! What's wrong? Do you know him?"

Li Yunhai chuckled and said, "That's right. We just went to the gold store to look at things, but we didn't expect that this is also your property?"

He Yongyun said: "Yes, that is our industry. We have a chain of gold stores. Does Mr. Li want to buy goldware? I didn't see you buying it?"

Li Yunhai said: "My wife looked at it and thought it was too expensive and couldn't afford it!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the teller.

Of course the teller also knows Sihai Group, after all, it is a company listed on the Hong Kong stock market!

She never dreamed that this ordinary-looking mainland man was actually the chairman of Sihai Group and a guest of her boss.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, I, I, I didn't know you were the big boss!" the teller said hesitantly.

He Yongyun is a smart man, he observes people's words and soon understands that there must be a reason. He asked the teller: "What's going on? Tell me!"

The teller lowered his head and hesitated to speak.

Even if she didn't say anything, He Yongyun probably knew what was going on, and said to Li Yunhai: "Mr. Li, our people are ignorant and have offended many people."

Li Yunhai chuckled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Your staff look down on mainlanders, which I can understand. But now there are many wealthy mainlanders, especially those who can afford to travel to Hong Kong Island. The strength is not too bad. If you look down on people like this, you will lose a lot of business. "

He Yongjun said to the teller with a stern face: "You all have your tails raised to the sky, right? Who gave you such power to offend our customers? Every customer who enters the store is our VIP! No matter where they come from, What language to speak and what kind of clothes to wear! During the training, I told you that even if a beggar comes in, you have to give him a glass of water! Did you do it?

The teller didn't dare to speak.

He Yongjun asked: "Which product is Mr. Li interested in? Go get it."

The teller quickly turned around and left.

After a while, she walked over quickly holding the old gold headdress and said, "That woman took a fancy to this."

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "She is my wife."

He Yongjun pointed at the teller and said, "You are so contemptuous of others! Do you know who you rejected? That's the wife of a billionaire! You're a blind thing!"

The teller wanted to cry but had no tears.

If Lin Zhi were the wife of the chairman of Sihai Group, how could she behave in such a rude manner?

He Yongjun took the jewelry, handed it to Li Yunhai, and said, "I'm really sorry that Mr. Li and his wife have been wronged. I gave this gadget to Mrs. Li as an apology."

Li Yunhai didn't expect her to be so generous!
Although this gold item is not too expensive, it still costs 15 Hong Kong dollars!

Li Yunhai and He Yongyun are neither relatives nor friends. They have only met once. She is giving such an expensive gift. Do you want to accept it? (End of chapter)
