Li Zhiyuan laughed again and said: "Mom, if you like it, you can keep it yourself. He has so many of these things... and he sells them at wholesale prices."
Zhao An took out a few more one-carat ones, put them casually in front of Lu Xiufen, and said, "There are indeed a lot... I picked a few of these when they were on sale.
And after the beginning of the new year, we will sell diamonds on a large scale... We must make the price of this thing civilian. "
Looking at the shiny diamonds on the table, Lu Xiufen stared straight at her eyes.
Brilliant diamonds are cut into various regular shapes, exuding brilliant light, which is very eye-catching.
Zhao An smiled, took out a few more red and sapphires, and still casually placed them on the table in front of Lu Xiufen. These were all cut gemstones, the big ones were 8 carats, and the small ones were at least two carats.
"These are all produced in our own mine. They are said to be very valuable, but in my opinion they are just stones. Mom, don't take them seriously..."
Seeing that all kinds of gemstones were stained with flour for making dumplings, Lu Xiufen quickly pulled a tissue over, wrapped each gemstone carefully, and said, "You child, you are sincerely showing off your wealth in front of your mother, right? …”
Zhao An: "Nothing, I mean, although these things are valuable in the market, we don't have to take them too seriously. If we like them, we can pick them up and make some jewelry.
It's not unusual these days..."
While talking, the doorbell of Zhao An's house rang.
"Son, go and open the door!"
Lu Xiufen walked into her room with the gem in her pocket and put it away. Zhao An opened the door and saw several people standing outside the room.
Wang Bing, Han Suyu, Wei Xiang, Wen Xuening, and Gao Qiang's family.
"Happy Chinese New Year boss, Gong Xi Fa Cai red envelope!!!"
Everyone greeted Zhao An in unison.
Zhao An exclaimed: "Damn, this is an appointment, isn't it? And Gao Qiang, why did you come here from so far away from Jiangcheng to join in the fun?"
Gao Qiang smiled and said, "I didn't come alone, I represented my hundreds of brothers, and came to pay Mr. Zhao a New Year greeting!"
"They have a mission and it is inconvenient to come here, so I have to do it for them."
"I wish Mr. Zhao a lot of money this year and a great future!"
Zhao An laughed and said, "Stop talking about those stereotypes, come in quickly."
Several people entered the door laughing and knowing that Zhao An didn't like giving gifts, so they all came empty-handed. Only Wei Xiang brought a piece of ham from his hometown to Zhao An.
Zhao An stared at Wei Xiang and asked, "My own?"
The source of this thing cannot be hidden from Zhao An.
Wei Xiang chuckled and said, "No, it was given by my relatives in my hometown. This is authentic Nuodeng ham. I thought it would be better to enjoy it alone than to share it with everyone."
"Hey, boss lady!"
Everyone greeted Li Zhiyuan again, and several women also hurriedly washed their hands, and came over to help wrap them up.
Lu Xiufen put the gems out and saw a lot of people sitting in the living room, some of them had met at Zhao An's wedding, some of them were unknown to her, but they were probably not Zhao An's friends, colleagues or something like that .
In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhao An introduced: "This is my mother, mother, these are the employees of the company, um, there are also the family members of the employees."
"Hello auntie!"
Everyone was busy with greetings again.
Only Wei Xiang hurriedly flattered and said, "Auntie looks so young..."
Zhao An dissatisfied: "What are you talking about, does my mother look young? She is already very young, okay?"
Well, this is also a sycophant.
Coaxing Lu Xiufen so happy, she hurriedly said: "Everyone be more casual, I'll cook for you."
With the help of the girls, the dumplings on the table were quickly finished, and several people rushed into the kitchen to help Zhao's mother, Lu Xiufen, cook together.
Several people surrounded Zhao An and sat down on the sofa. Gao Qiang couldn't help asking curiously: "By the way, you only saw your aunt, but you didn't see your uncle?"
Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, when my dad is at home, he usually goes for a bird walk early in the morning, sometimes he comes back at noon, and sometimes he comes back at night.
There is no entertainment in this small place, he likes to walk the birds, so the family let him go. "
Gao Qiang: "Uncle, this hobby is really unique..."
Dinner during the Chinese New Year is usually relatively early, basically between five o'clock and six o'clock.
With the help of Han Suyu and others, the dinner was prepared quickly, and when it was brought to the table, Zhao An asked everyone, "Will you drink? There is a lot of good wine at home."
Wang Bing replied: "You don't need to drink, we still want to take Squad Leader Gao to Ruili for a few days."
These few people are Zhao An's confidantes, and their usual friendship is not bad.
Zhao An didn't force it, and said, "Forget it, let's eat, everyone, order as you like, I don't like being too polite."
Wei Xiang smiled and sat next to Zhao An, and said, "Since we have been with Mr. Zhao, we don't know what it means to be polite..."
Zhao An scolded with a smile: "Such a big table of dishes, still can't stop your broken mouth?"
Everyone happily ate, during which Gao Qiang and Wei Xiang kept amused, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this moment, Zhao An's phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up, it was an unfamiliar call.
Originally he didn't want to answer, but Zhao An felt that few people knew his phone number, so he simply pressed the answer button: "Hello, who is that?"
"Zhao An, is that you? Zhao An, please save me!"
The anxious voice of Xia Feixue, Zhao An's high school classmate, came from the receiver.
Chapter 568 Xia Feixue's Difficulties
Chapter 568
Xia Feixue looked at the burly men in front of her, holding the phone nervously, as if she was about to cry,
She pleaded into the phone: "Zhao An, I really don't want to make this call,
I'm really cornered too, and I wouldn't be making this call if I had the slightest way to help...but now it seems only you can help me. "
Zhao An couldn't help frowning when she heard this. This high school classmate only met again on the street this afternoon. At that time, she felt that she seemed to be in some trouble, but she didn't ask much at that time.
I didn't expect to call myself now...
Seeing Zhao An frowning, the people who were eating together couldn't help but stop, and looked at Zhao An suspiciously.
Zhao An waved his hand to let them continue to eat, and said softly to the phone: "It's okay, old classmate, if you have anything to say, I'll help as much as I can, okay?"
The three words of the old classmate explained the origin of this call...
As he spoke, he inserted real eyes in Yun County to search for Xia Feixue's location.
I saw her staying in the corner of a room, which seemed to be her home, and he could see the situation inside the room clearly.
Xia Feixue seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but seeing the menacing eyes, she couldn't help but shivered, and was so frightened that she almost couldn't hold her phone steady.
"Zhao An...I...I want to borrow some money from you..."
Xia Feixue said in shame and indignation.
She and Zhao An are also high school classmates, and they haven't seen each other for several years. They just met today, so she called to borrow money, which really made her feel embarrassed.
However, due to the reality, she was forced to do this. Looking at the situation in front of her,
If she can't come up with the money today, I'm afraid these men won't let it go.
Zhao An said calmly, "Okay, how much do you want?"
Xia Feixue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the good words. He was afraid that Zhao An would hang up the phone with a snap, and then she might really be doomed. Who knows what wicked things this group of people can do.
Then how will I behave in the future.
She still spoke with hesitation: "Eighty...80!"
"Cash or transfer?"
"transfer......"
"Send me the number!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao An explained to Li Zhiyuan: "A high school girl met me this afternoon and wanted to borrow some money from me."
Li Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Why do you explain so much to me, and how much do you borrow?"
"80 million!"
Li Zhiyuan said with a half smile but not a smile: "You can figure it out."
Not long after, Zhao An received the bank account number from Xia Feixue, and he transferred 80 yuan without saying a word.
But with the vision of real eyes, they kept paying attention to Xia Feixue's home.
Everyone had almost finished eating, Han Suyu and Wen Xuening helped clean up the dishes, and Wei Xiang and the others were ready to say goodbye to Zhao An.
Zhao An stopped and said, "Don't be too busy, I have some things to help me..."
When Zhao An said that, Wei Xiang got excited first.
"If Mr. Zhao has anything to say, just say it, and I, Wei Xiang, will definitely go through fire and water."
Zhao An said angrily: "Fuck off, you don't expect anything good."
Wei Xiang laughed and said, "Aren't I showing my loyalty?"
Zhao An rolled his eyes and said, "My female classmate seems to have been coerced. You and Gao Qiang will drive to her house in a while, give my name to pick her up, and I will wait for you in the teahouse downstairs."
As he spoke, he looked in Li Zhiyuan's direction and asked, "Is Madam going too?"
Li Zhiyuan drooped her shoulders, said with a slight smile, "What am I going to do, I have a big belly, what do you expect me to do..."
Zhao An chuckled: "Aren't I afraid that you might misunderstand?"
"What's the misunderstanding, go to yours!"
Generally speaking, teahouses are not for drinking tea, and their main business is actually chess and card entertainment. To put it bluntly, it is a slightly private gambling place.
However, it can be used to meet guests.
When Wei Xiang arrived, Xia Feixue didn't believe it at first, until she called Zhao An again... Then she followed a few people to the private room of the teahouse.
As soon as she opened the door and saw Zhao An, Xia Feixue couldn't stop crying,
心里的委屈像是江水决堤了一般，情绪一下子就控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！制不住了，
With a sound of 'wow', I squatted on the ground and cried...
Wei Xiang and others went out wisely and closed the door, but the smiles on their faces were playful.
Zhao An had no choice but to get up and walk to her, handed over a tissue and said softly, "Don't cry, tell me what happened, maybe I can help you solve it."
Xia Feixue looked up at Zhao An, sobbed with tears in her eyes, "It's okay, they said that as long as they give money, they will release my mother.
Now that the money has been given, my mother should be back soon..."
Why is this matter related to your mother?
Zhao An complained in his heart, and continued to comfort him: "That's good. As an old classmate, I can't help you much. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it."
Maybe because she was afraid that Zhao An would misunderstand, Xia Feixue stood up quickly and explained: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's really hard to say it. I really don't know how to say it for a while."
Zhao An rolled his eyes: "Then speak slowly..."
It turned out that like Zhao An, Xia Feixue graduated last year. After graduation, she worked in Shencheng and came back at the end of the year.
But back home, the single mother who has been living alone with her...is not at home.
When I asked, I realized that I was going to play cards.
So she packed up her things, made a meal and waited for her mother to come back,
In the end, what I waited for was a reminder call...
Said that her mother played cards, lost the money and mortgaged the house, and owed 50 usury,
Ask her to take money to redeem her quickly...
But as a girl who has just started working, she only has tens of thousands of dollars in her hands. How can she get such a large sum of money? 50 is like an astronomical figure to her.
Hearing this, Zhao An was puzzled: "Isn't it 50, then why do you..."
Xia Feixue smiled miserably: "When I borrowed it, it was indeed 50."
"But do you know how high the interest rate is?"
