Beads are on the side, the president is on the top

Chapter 20 The Pendant Really Cannot Be Transferred
"It's up to you to order." She finally decided to throw this difficult problem to Su Mingyu, who asked him to take the initiative to treat guests?
Su Mingyu nodded, and said casually to the waiter, "Two steaks, two salads, a bottle of your best red wine, and a dessert."

"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you." The waiter put away the menu and left.

Amidst the sound of flowing music, Su Mingyu found a comfortable sitting position, and smiled at Lin Xi: "It seems that we haven't introduced ourselves yet. Today, we have time to sit down and have dinner together. Why don't we introduce ourselves first?"

Lin Xi was slightly stunned, and then said: "My name is Lin Xi, I just graduated from school, and I am running a small business... Uh... You should know this, there is nothing else to introduce."

Su Mingyu then asked, "Are you a local?"

"No, my hometown is in Yunnan, and I came to Chengdu because I was admitted to university. What about you? Mr. Su, are you a native of Chengdu?" Lin Xi gradually got into the mood, and asked Su Mingyu back.

"Me neither, let me briefly introduce my situation. My ancestors moved to Zurich with their family during the war, and then returned to China after liberation, and moved the head office from abroad to China. Now Chengdu can be regarded as the headquarters. , I am one of the responsible persons in the country." Su Mingyu said as if remembering something: "I gave you a business card before, and you should know that I am from Shengshi Tianyi."

Lin Xi nodded, expressing that he knew that he worked in Shengshi Tianyi, but he didn't know that he was the person in charge there.Hearing what he said now, she wasn't so surprised that he was able to buy a pendant with a few million at will, and change the car at any time.

Because of a series of contacts with Su Mingyu recently, she got to know Shengshi Tianyi, a company, and gradually learned that Shengshi Tianyi is the vane of the antique industry in China and even in the world. The news often reports that they hold the world's top auctions, and the transaction volume is constant. It's hundreds of millions, billions. As the person in charge of Shengshi Tianyi, his worth is naturally immeasurable.

"Then I should call you President Su?"

"It's too vulgar, you can call me Mingyu."

"Then what's the matter, let me see, I'll call you Mr. Su." Lin Xi blushed, calling "Ming Yu" was too affectionate.

"Then do whatever you want." Su Mingyu is not a person who sticks to small details, he seems very generous, "What about you, what do you like to be called by others?"

"Lin Xi is fine."

At this time, the dishes started to be served. Su Mingyu poured red wine for Lin Xi himself, and said while pouring: "Lin Xi, the name contains water and wood, and the five elements correspond to wood. Because of the influence of the name, I prefer wood, so I started a wood carving bead business?"

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Su also understands the five elements." Lin Xi took the wine glass and said: "From ancient times, there is always a lack of horoscope birthdays. I heard from my grandma that my parents gave me the horoscope. .However, I am in the wood carving bead business because of pure love."

Su Mingyu didn't expect her to explain it so seriously, and said a little embarrassedly: "Just said it casually, don't feel offended. As far as I know, there are very few young girls in the wooden bead business, let alone in There are even fewer places like Antique Street. I just said it casually, and I don’t understand the theory of the five elements at all.”

"Hehe, Mr. Su, you are really humorous." Lin Xi couldn't help laughing.

Su Mingyu also smiled slightly, and the atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot.

Lin Xi relaxed a lot in the relaxed environment created by Su Mingyu, and paid attention to the surrounding environment. He saw a western restaurant paved with marble, about a dozen tables covered with white tablecloths, and bright crystal lamps sprinkled in the spacious space. Their table is facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, reflecting each other with the neon night scene that is gradually lighting up, making it look very splendid and gorgeous.

In the center of the restaurant, a woman in evening dress plays the piano.

Dining in such an environment, facing handsome companions, and chatting about pleasant topics, Lin Xi seemed to have entered another world.

This feeling is very novel and very happy, which makes her yearn for it.

At this time, Su Mingyu interrupted Lin Xi, who was distracted, and saw his sincere eyes, raised his glass to Lin Xi: "I apologize to you for forcing you to sell pendants a few times ago."

"Mr. Su is serious." Lin Xi accepted his apology, and clinked glasses with him: "I also offended you a few times ago, so I shouldn't take advantage of Mr. Su's desire to buy a pendant to be aggressive."

"That's also a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer." Su Mingyu admitted his mistake, but he was more positive.Seeing that Lin Xi was silent, he introduced her: "Try the steak here and see if it suits your taste."

Lin Xi cut off a piece of steak and ate it into his mouth.Tender steak, very tasty.

"Not bad, delicious." She admired.

Su Mingyu cut a piece of steak, stuffed it into his mouth, and tasted it.After he finished eating, he also praised: "Today's steak is really good. This way I can rest assured, I am afraid that the guests will not eat well when I treat them."

"Mr. Su is really considerate." Lin Xi relaxed completely, and his words returned to his previous sagacity.

Su Mingyu shrugged: "That's it, you don't think I have other purposes in inviting you to dinner."

"Uh...Actually, I came to see what your purpose is." Lin Xi was not stupid, she knew that sooner or later she would have to talk about Nanhong Zhuizi.

Su Mingyu was frank at the moment: "I invite you to dinner today, and I also want to tell you frankly what the Nanhong pendant in your hand means to me."

Lin Xi was naturally willing to listen, so he stopped eating and motioned for him to continue.

"How should I tell you about this matter? This pendant is related to my mother, please keep it a secret."

Lin Xi nodded solemnly and agreed to him.

Su Mingyu was leaning on the chair, stroking the goblet with one hand, the red liquid was bright red, reflecting his melancholy eyebrows, Lin Xi's heart couldn't help but move slightly, such a quiet and sad Su Mingyu seemed to be a different person.

He lowered his voice, a little depressed, his charming eyes drooped, looked at the corner of the table, and said softly: "I remarried to the Jin family with my mother, and my mother's surname is Su. Probably because of my existence , my mother's status in the Jin family has never been high. With the stepfather's abdication, the inheritance rights of Shengshi Tianyi, the most important property of the Jin family, are about to change. Jin Zhongguo secretly made a lot of moves against my mother, probably using her to deal with me I won’t mention these, let me briefly talk about it. My stepfather’s various methods made my mother’s madness worse. In order to cure my mother’s heart disease and untie her heart knot, I decided to find something that my mother was thinking about It is the Nanhong pendant in your hand."

Lin Xi listened quietly, not interrupting Su Mingyu's pause.

Su Mingyu raised his head: "The pattern on this pendant was drawn on a piece of paper by my mother when she was sane. The original picture is on a drawing of four beauties. You don't need to know about it, the general meaning That is, this Nanhong pendant is related to some secrets of my family, but all I care about is my mother's body, and I want to open her heart knot, so I want to ask you to buy this pendant, not because of its value itself, It's because of my mother."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lin Xi immediately understood why Su Mingyu's attachment to the pendant came from.

"I confessed the truth to you, are you willing to sell me the pendant?" Su Mingyu raised the question again, "Of course, in terms of price, you can add more to the 200 million I mentioned."

Lin Xi hesitated. Although Su Mingyu's affairs were important, she had already given away this pendant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, this pendant does not belong to me now, and I have no right to decide to transfer it to you." Lin Xi felt that the other party had talked about this, and she should be more honest.

"what do you mean?"

"I already gave the pendant to a friend of mine." Lin Xi smiled apologetically, "This pendant was originally intended to be given away, so I didn't sell it to you."

Su Mingyu didn't expect that there was such an inside story, recalling Lin Xi's attitude towards Zhuizi a few times, he felt that she should not have lied, so he tentatively asked, "Is it convenient for you to introduce me to your friend?"

"I'm afraid not, she has already gone to the United States." Lin Xi had many concerns. She didn't want to spoil the friendship between friends because of the wealth brought by the pendant, so she lied and would rather not sell the pendant. The pendant should also keep the friendship.

Su Mingyu was very disappointed, but he didn't know what to say.

He poured a glass of wine and drank it muffled.

Lin Xi saw that Su Mingyu really needed this pendant, she couldn't bear it, and once again weighed the value of the pendant and her love for her friend, she decided to discuss it with Chen Lu and see what Chen Lu would do.

Because the two had their own concerns, the atmosphere when they went back was not as pleasant as when they came.

When the two parted, Su Mingyu made another request: "I still hope that you can introduce your friend to me. This pendant is no longer its own value to me, but has a special meaning. Now, One is to ask your friend to come back from the United States. Regardless of whether we can finally reach an agreement, I will subsidize her round-trip air ticket and expenses at double the price. Second, please come to the United States with me, and meet Your friend, let's talk about the pendant on the spot, and I will subsidize your business loss."

Lin Xi accepted Su Mingyu's proposal and assured him: "I will explain the situation to her as soon as possible to see if I can find a compromise. I hope your mother recovers soon. Also, thank you for inviting me to dinner."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Su Mingyu couldn't relax much, but when he looked at Lin Xi who got into the car and left, he always felt that something was wrong.He suddenly remembered that when they met at the shop before eating, Lin Xi had said something like "I didn't bring the pendant with me today".

He changed his mind - if the pendant was really given away as she said, then she should say that the pendant is no longer in my hands or something!
Su Mingyu sat in the coffee shop, his eyes gradually turned cold. He immediately called and asked the detective agency to investigate Lin Xi's network.

In less than 24 hours, Su Mingyu had received accurate information.There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, obviously, he underestimated Lin Xi.
