***************************************************************************************************************************************

Because I had to wait for Philip's news, and after the loan contract was completed, I also had to sign and recognize it. Considering that Hong Kong is more convenient than Shanghai to handle this matter, I did not go back to Shanghai the next day, but stayed in Hong Kong. In fact, on the other hand, the company's affairs made me a little annoyed. I couldn't finish the documents and meetings every day. I felt a little exhausted recently. I just took this opportunity to relax in Hong Kong for a few days, have a good rest, and adjust my mood.

In addition to leaving an emergency contact number, I turned off my cell phone. First, I stayed in the hotel and didn't even go out. I slept greedily for two days, and I slept so hard that I was so dark. After I was satisfied, I walked out of the hotel and wandered around casually.

I have been to Hong Kong countless times and have known the geographical location for a long time, so after I left, I didn’t walk the avenue, and went into those alleys, enjoying the local customs and tasted Hong Kong specialty snacks.

When the lights first came on, I walked out of a stall street with satisfaction, looked at the sky, and then touched the food that was filled with all kinds of snacks. My stomach was slightly swelling, and I was in a very happy mood. With the crowds of people shopping, I gathered in it alone, looking around and enjoying the night view of Hong Kong, and strolling on the commercial streets.

After walking aimlessly for half an hour, I felt my legs and feet were a little tired and numb. Moreover, because I had eaten too many snacks in front and my mouth was a little dry, I wanted to find a better tea room or cafe nearby to sit for a while, rest before going back to the hotel.

After asking passers-by, I learned that there was a good cafe not far ahead. After saying "Thank you" to the other party, I walked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, before walking out of a street corner, I saw a sign hanging on the street, with colorful lights on, flashing in the night.

"It looks pretty pretty!" I looked up at the flashing introduction above, and nodded with satisfaction. "It's this place, go in and have a drink." I thought to myself, and walked in with my feet.

The cafe is on the third floor, and the ground floor and the second floor are a gold shop. The small TV next to the elevator after entering the main entrance is playing the discount advertisement for the gold shop. I took advantage of the boredom of waiting for the elevator and stood on the billboard and watched with interest.

On the right side of the price list of a row of goldware, there are eight big characters written on "Newly arrived Burmese Jade, 20% off!", and there are a few photos on the side as references, which immediately attracted my attention. I am not very interested in gold and silver, and I think that those things are too vulgar and I never buy them except for giving them to others. But I have a natural hobby for jade. I don't know that the elder once told me when I was a child that jade is spiritual, it can ward off evil and drive away evil, and it is clear to others. If a person has a good piece of jade on his body, it will gradually absorb the popularity of his owner, and will even become one with you over time. When you suffer a disaster or a disaster, the spiritual jade with your popularity will even help you catch the disaster and break up, and use the method of sacrificing yourself to protect the owner.

So, since then, I have always had an inexplicable favoritism towards jade and have a special preference for these things. Maybe it was the words of my elders that influenced me, or the special warmth and implicitness of jade that made me involuntarily develop my love for it, and I began to collect and bring jade.

"These photos look pretty good. Although most of the Burmese jade is jadeite, which is different from the white jade I like, it is still a good jade. Let's go in and take a look?" I couldn't help thinking in my heart. Regardless of the elevator door that had already gone down to the first floor and opened, I turned around and pushed open the glass door leading to the gold shop on one side and walked in.

"Sir, do you need help?" After a few steps, a lady in a neat uniform walked up to me with a smile, first bowed slightly to me, and then asked me politely in Cantonese dialect.

"I'll take a look first." Although I could roughly understand Cantonese, I couldn't speak. And I knew that if I spoke Mandarin, the other party might not understand. After all, it was only 1997 now. Although Hong Kong is almost back, most Hong Kong people still do not have the concept of Mandarin. It was not until three to five years later that the situation began to change. So when she asked me, I smiled and answered her in English.

"Okay, please give me." She still changed her mouth and answered me in English with her professional smile, and then kept a distance of about five steps from me. Without disturbing me, she followed me far away so that after I found something I was interested in, she could come up to serve me at any time.

Although the gold shop is large, the division is very detailed and reasonable. After walking a few steps, I followed the sign to the counter that specializes in jade. Looking at the different shapes and exquisitely carved jade placed neatly under the counter, my eyes lit up, lowered my head and looked carefully.

"These are the Burmese jade I just entered. The grade is good. In addition, our store is on sale and the price is very suitable." The service lady saw me staying at one of the counters and looked at them carefully. She hurriedly rushed to a few steps, stood beside me, and introduced me to the jade displayed inside.

"Are these all Burmese jade? Why are there so many jadeites? Are there other varieties?" I looked at it for a while and asked her.

"Yes, jade is popular now, and this type of jade is easier to buy in our store, so now it mainly displays this type of product. If you need other types of jade, you can come here to take a look." The lady answered patiently when she saw me ask.

"Yes." I nodded and walked to a counter next to me. I saw some white jade, topaz and other products on the counter. Although there were a lot of things, the grade and quality were not good. There were too many colors, and the quality was much worse than those of the Burmese jade. I shook my head as soon as I saw it. These goods could only be used by those who had just played with jade, and even a piece could not fit my eyes. Perhaps it was as the service lady said. Jade was popular now, and other types of jade were no longer easy to sell, so there were no good varieties in the store.

"These jades are much worse than those just now!" I shook my head and said.

"Yes, there are very few people buying this type of jade now. If you purchase a large amount of goods, you will not be able to sell it, so we didn't buy anything very good." As expected, the service lady said to me with an apology.

"It's better to have jade or white jade!" I sighed with regret.

The service lady seemed to know some common sense. She nodded and smiled and replied: "Sir, although you are right, white jade is no longer as fashionable as it is now. Jade is popular in the world now."

"Haha, this is pretty good. Jade looks dazzling. Is it as subtle as white jade?" I replied with a smile.

"Hehe" The service lady saw that I was a relatively peaceful person and spoke a lot, and half-selling and jokingly said to me: "What you said is really reasonable, it is indeed like this. Wearing jade is indeed more prominent than wearing white jade, but there is also a kind of implicit jade, but you may not have noticed it. Why don't you go back to the place just now and I'll introduce you to a few of them?"

"Okay!" I didn't plan to buy good white jade here, but I came in after seeing the introduction of jade. Since the lady said that, I agreed. It's good to sell a few good jade. When I come to Hong Kong, I always have to bring some gifts to Zhang Leyao and Ah Qian when I go back. Otherwise, if I see them after I go back to Shanghai and have nothing to take, don't whisper to me to death! So I'm not going to have a good idea to make a few beautiful jades as gifts.

In this way, with the introduction of the service lady, I returned to the original counter and carefully selected two high-quality jade pendants, and asked her to help me choose two unique platinum chains to inlay the jade.

Because the inlay requires some time to wait, the waitress took me to a rest place, brought me a cup of tea, and asked me to sit and wait for a while, and then she helped me get it after the jewelry was finished.

The lounge is not big, with only seven or eight tables, and only five or six people sitting. Because the services in Hong Kong's gold shops are different from those in mainland China, many customers like unique designs, so they always like to make some modifications when buying jewelry. Therefore, in order for customers to have a place to wait for a rest time, many large stores will open such resting places.

"Hi! Boss! Why are you here in Hong Kong?" While I was drinking tea, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded, and someone suddenly slapped on my shoulder.

I turned my head in shock and was wondering when I met that acquaintance in Hong Kong, a face appeared in front of me.

"Miss Yao? Why are you in Hong Kong?" The smiling face was Yao Wei. Her long curly hair was delicately folded up, with two diamond earrings on her earlobes, and a diamond necklace shining on her neck. She was wearing a half-long fur coat, carrying a brand-name handbag in one hand, and a huge diamond ring on her slender fingers in the other hand was dazzlingly shiny. She was wearing a jewel and a jewelry piece on her body, standing in front of me with a smile.

"Hi! It's really you! Long time no see! Why are you here in Hong Kong?" She seemed to be just not sure just now. Now when she saw me, she reached out and covered her mouth and smiled, and asked me happily.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since we haven't seen each other, is it okay now? I'm just coming to Hong Kong to do something. Why are you here in Hong Kong? Are you here to buy something?" I saw a man in black behind her, looking big and thick, standing aside with a grim expression, but he was carrying several packaging bags in his hand, which seemed to be her bodyguard. Seeing her asking, I laughed politely and greeted her.

"Yes! I came last week and started a big purchase! Hong Kong is really good. I bought a lot of things! I just bought some jewelry and was processing it. Boss, why did you come to the gold shop? Are you also buying jewelry?" Yao Wei sat casually on my side and asked with a smile.

"I still call me boss? I'm not your boss for a long time!" I reminded her with a smile.

"Hehe, it's easy to say!" She then recalled the shortcomings of the name and couldn't help but laugh.

"I just walked around and was about to go up to have some coffee. When I saw a gold shop downstairs, I came in and bought a small gift to take it back." I replied casually.

"Is it for your girlfriend?" She asked with a cunning look in her eyes.

"That's right, haha." I replied on purpose.

"Who is so powerful? He actually found you, the rich man, to be your boyfriend?" Yao Wei said with some envy.

"Isn't that good at your house? You still eat in the bowl and look at the pot? Be careful that Brother Yue is jealous!" I did not answer her directly, but instead reminded her.

"Tsk! A Quan can be richer than you! I know that your business is very big now, and I heard that you can make money every year (Shanghai dialect, which means making money very well). We A Quan are just making small fuss and can't compare with you!" She said with a little dissatisfaction with her mouth.

"Are you talking nonsense? You're not sure about my company? It's just a small business, just a little business! Brother Yue is a big business. Isn't you going to make a fuss between us?" I waved my hands repeatedly and said modestly.

"Look at you, you are still so humble?" Yao Wei waved his finger and said, "At that time, you were engaged in foreign trade, real estate, processing, and re-export businesses. These are not business that makes money? In addition, you also borrowed some money from him. If you didn't have more money than him, would he borrow money from you?"

"Haha, that's right, even if it's right! If you continue to calculate this, you will become who is more rich than your husband? It seems to be meaningless, right?" I answered undeniably.

"Yes, what have you been busy with recently? Why haven't you come to see us?" Yao Wei stood aside without caring about the bodyguard, leaned against me and asked with a close look.

"I'm busy! I'm running around the world every day, working hard!" I couldn't stand the smell of her perfume, nor was I used to being stared at by bodyguards behind me. I deliberately moved my body, smoked a cigarette, lit it, and then opened a distance, and waved it.

"It's so miserable?" Yao Wei stared at me exaggeratedly, looked at me a few times without believing, and then shook his head and said, "This is not to say that you, my A Quan, is much easier than you."

"Of course! How can I compare with him? I can't compare!" I said with a smile.
