Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Mr. Feng sighed and said vaguely, "Everyone, there are a lot of things to do these two days. I have some trivial matters to deal with when I go back. Everyone, don't leave. I'll let Ah Jin..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his friend from Guangzhou, "Old Feng, you have to give us some freedom and just do your thing."

Having said that, Mr. Feng smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, gave some instructions to A Jin and Feng Si Tian beside him, and then left.

Feng Ruonan also left with him.

Feng Sitian, who was supposed to go back, stayed behind, looking at everyone with a slightly red face, "Dear elders, wherever you want to go, I will accompany you."

Ah Jin laughed and said, "There is a night market here too. The night view of Rongjiang West Lake Park is also nice. If you get tired of shopping, go to the KTV nearby to relax."

He spoke more fluently.

Everyone stood up and walked to the door of the restaurant. A few local bosses, led by Lao Liu, greeted Zhao Chen and two friends from Guangdong.

"You are too old to bear the torment. We are sorry, so we won't accompany you."

After seeing them off, Zhao Qin glanced at Chen Dong and was about to say something when Yu Shengyu and another young man, who had been watching them, came over.

"I just heard that you two seem to be interested in jade. We are going to the night market, where there are stone cutters. How about joining us?"

Chen Dong was eager to try it, but Zhao Qin spoke first, "Thank you, but it's not necessary. We are tired after driving all day. Let's go back and rest."

After saying that, he walked up to Ah Jin and muttered,

Two friends from Guangzhou were staying in a hotel with them. When they heard that the three of them were going back, they didn't make any other requests and went back with them.

Watching the car go away, Yu Shengyu narrowed his eyes slightly. A young man next to him said, "They won't fall for your trick, what can you do? So, why are you hostile to them? After all, you just met them at night."

Yu Shengyu snorted, "I just can't stand them being so pretentious here."

The young man thought about it and wondered whether he was pretending to be cool.

He didn't feel it at all, and thinking back to the performance of the three people at the table, Chen and Zhao behaved very decently, showed enough respect to the local jade merchants, and always humbly asked for advice.

The man with the surname Wang hardly spoke a word during the entire conversation. After he had eaten, he just sat there and listened.

He didn't know that the problem was that Old Feng treated Zhao Qin differently at the dinner table. Yu Shengyu had a good impression of Feng Ruonan.

According to the seating arrangement today, Feng Ruonan sat right next to Zhao Qin. Coupled with Old Feng's attitude, he had some misunderstandings, which soon turned into hostility.

In the car, Zhao Qin could feel Yu Shengyu's provocation, but he didn't understand why. If he knew the reason, he would have to explain that he was married and asked not to disturb him.

After arriving at the hotel, they exchanged politeness and went back to their rooms.

Zhao Qin was taking a bath when Yu Fa Ke called him. Yu Fa Ke didn't have any business to do, so he just said that he was free recently and wanted to come and play with him.

After hanging up the phone, I was about to take a shower when there was another knock on the door.

Thinking it was Chen Dong, he opened the door. Instead, a scantily clad young lady stood at the door, posing provocatively. "Sir, do you need any service?"

Well, forget about it, this is one of the characteristics of hotels in this era.

Without even seeing the other person's face, Zhao Qin said "no need" and closed the door. He turned around and unplugged the phone line next to him. Then he continued to take a shower.

Just after I finished washing and lay down, there was another knock on the door.

He didn't want to move at all, but the next moment someone kicked the door, "Open the door, it's me."

After opening the door, Chen Dong came in and inspected the place, even taking a look at the bathroom. Zhao Qin said unhappily, "Brother Dong, don't judge me by your own standards."

Chen Dong coughed twice, "I'm afraid you can't help it, I have to be responsible for my sister."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and frowned, "What do you mean by using your own heart? What you said makes me feel like..."

Well, he couldn't continue because Zhao Qin was staring at him. At this moment, the image of a girl named Rongrong appeared in both of their minds.

After coughing again, Chen Dong changed the subject very abruptly, "Aqin, I really want to cut a couple of stones. Why don't you agree to do it tonight?"

"If you want to cut it, let Ah Jin take us to the Yangmei Jade Market tomorrow. After all, we just met that young man, so there's no need for him to follow us.

If you get tricked, it's okay to lose some money, but if people talk about you as an idiot behind your back, that would be really frustrating."

Chen Dong thought about it and nodded slightly, "You are right. Let's wait for Lao Jin to come tomorrow and talk about it."

……

The next morning, Zhao Qin got up and planned to have breakfast at the hotel. However, just as he called Wang Jiasheng and Chen Dong to go downstairs, Lao Feng called.

"I'm sorry, brother. I asked you to come early. I was planning to take you out for some fun, but something went wrong with the original plan. I can't get away.

When the matter is settled, I will go to Fujian Province to apologize in person." Lao Feng's voice was full of fatigue.

"Mr. Feng, we are all businessmen, we understand. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"That's not necessary. I can handle it. By the way, I asked Ruonan to accompany you today. She's already downstairs, but she doesn't have your phone number."

Zhao Qin was just about to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but someone on the other end seemed to be calling Lao Feng, and the other end hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Come on, let's go downstairs."

When I got downstairs, Feng Ruonan was already waiting in the lobby. Compared to yesterday, she seemed to lack some energy and spirit today.

She didn't mind Zhao Qin's presumptuous address yesterday and forced a smile. "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? You don't have to eat at the hotel. I'll take you to eat some local specialties."

After getting on the business car, Chen Dong couldn't help but ask, "Are the two friends from Guangzhou coming together?"

"In addition to attending my brother's wedding, they also wanted to stock up on some rough stones. My dad asked someone in the industry to take them there today."

After that, the car fell into silence. After arriving at the destination, Feng Ruonan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still woken up by A Jin.

Seeing this, Zhao Qin couldn't help but say, "Let A Jin take us around later. You look like you haven't slept all night. You should go back and catch up on some sleep."

His words warmed Feng Ruonan's heart. Just as she was about to say no, she heard Zhao Qin say, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. After all, we are all your elders."

Hearing the word "elder", Feng Ruonan's face darkened. This time, he really didn't refuse. "Okay, just be careful, the three of you, and don't tire yourselves."

You are the elder, you are highly respected, that's enough.

Chen Dong couldn't help but turned his head away and laughed, but Wang Jiasheng just kept looking around coolly, as if it was none of his business.

I thought I would go to a Cantonese-style dim sum shop, but what I ended up at was a very ordinary breakfast shop. I even had to queue because there were not enough tables. Even though there were tables set up on the curb outside, there were still not enough seats.
