Chapter 1024 Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, please come in.
Chapter 1024 Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, please come in.
The car drove out of the city and stopped at a courtyard house in the far suburbs.
Su Zhenzhen was taken aback and looked at Zhou Jingyan.
She knew, of course, that this courtyard house was a private residence, and that its owner possessed countless rare treasures.
Many of them are even antiques and cultural relics that are not allowed to be taken out of the country.
Back then, Old Chen made his fortune using these things.
Even now, he remains the same, only he has whitewashed himself by donating to the country.
He is considered one of the top figures in the world of collecting.
Most importantly, many of the things you want can only be obtained through Mr. Chen, not through anyone else.
Su Zhenzhen had visited Old Chen many times, for a very simple reason: Old Chen was the only place that had the jade pieces her grandmother liked.
But she was rejected by all of them.
To put it bluntly, it means they are not of a certain social standing and are not people that Old Chen would receive.
But now that Zhou Jingyan is taking him, it's completely different.
Su Zhenzhen remained outwardly calm, looking at Zhou Jingyan with composure.
"You came to see Old Chen?" Su Zhenzhen asked directly.
Zhou Jingyan hummed in agreement, but didn't say much, and led Su Zhenzhen into the inner room.
It was obvious that it had been arranged in advance, so the butler looked at Zhou Jingyan with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, please come in."
Zhou Jingyan nodded in acknowledgment and led Su Zhenzhen into the room.
Old Chen is waiting.
Then Su Zhenzhen saw the jade artifact that her grandmother really wanted.
That jade artifact originally belonged to my grandmother's family, but due to various historical reasons, it was eventually sold off.
Su Zhenzhen searched for many years and went through many twists and turns before finally finding Old Chen.
But Mr. Chen was unwilling to sell and asked for an exorbitant price.
This sum of money was incredibly difficult for Su Zhenzhen to obtain.
She understood what Old Chen meant, so the matter naturally came to nothing.
Grandma's mental state is not very good right now.
The doctor said that if the grandmother's wish could be fulfilled, there would likely be a chance for her to recover before she passed away.
The Su family favored sons over daughters, and only the grandmother was always kind to Su Zhenzhen.
Since childhood, Su Zhenzhen's grandmother has made up for all the grievances she suffered at Su Yuming's hands.
So now, Su Zhenzhen also wants to fulfill her grandmother's wish.
She said nothing.
"Is this the jade bracelet that Mr. Zhou wants?" Old Chen asked Zhou Jingyan with a smile.
"Yes," Zhou Jingyan did not deny it. "Name your price."
Mr. Chen has always been in this line of work, and his resources far surpass those of anyone else.
Making a profit by reselling in the middle, the exorbitant profits here are unimaginable.
"Three hundred million," Old Chen said without changing his expression.
Su Zhenzhen frowned; the price was even more outrageous than the one Old Chen had shown her before.
She was somewhat unhappy.
Zhou Jingyan was direct: "Sure, but I won't allow any changes."
This statement is an agreement, a warning, and even more so, a threat.
It's an undercurrent of tension, a contest between them.
How could someone as intelligent as Old Chen offend the prince of Beijing's elite circles?
So he nodded: "Of course, Mr. Zhou coming here is a favor to me, so I'll pack it up for him in person."
Zhou Jingyan nodded.
Zhou Jingyan notified He Chen to make the payment.
It's obvious that everything was prepared in advance.
Mr. Chen packed everything up, and the payment arrived.
Old Chen handed the item to Su Zhenzhen with a smile, clearly knowing that Su Zhenzhen wanted it.
Su Zhenzhen nodded in acknowledgment, thus maintaining a semblance of decorum.
Then Su Zhenzhen left with Zhou Jingyan.
Once in the car, Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhou Jingyan and said, "He's overcharging. He told me it was only 100 million before, but now he's asking for 300 million with you."
It tripled.
Even unscrupulous merchants don't act like this; it's clearly extortion.
"Then you don't want it?" Zhou Jingyan asked directly.
Su Zhenzhen fell silent again.
Of course I can't do without it, especially since I couldn't even reach Elder Chen's threshold before.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Su Zhenzhen could not refuse.
Zhou Jingyan saw it immediately: "Since you want it, and absolutely have to have it, then the choice isn't yours, it's his. If he asks for a billion, that's his business. It's a free market, isn't it?"
"That's going too far." Su Zhenzhen frowned.
“No matter how outrageous it is, as long as it exists, it’s reasonable. Besides, how do you value something like this?” Zhou Jingyan coaxed Su Zhenzhen with a smile.
His hand naturally took Su Zhenzhen's hand.
Su Zhenzhen was holding a jade bracelet in her other hand.
"If it makes you happy, three hundred million is nothing to me," Zhou Jingyan said succinctly.
It's really nothing.
If this matter can resolve all the recent unpleasantness, then it's worth it.
Su Zhenzhen's heart trembled as she listened.
Then she quietly looked at the jade bracelet in the wooden box; it was what her grandmother wanted.
Because her grandmother mentioned it so many times, and she looked at the photos so many times.
This jade bracelet is of superior quality; you can recognize it at a glance.
"How did you know I wanted this?" Su Zhenzhen asked Zhou Jingyan quietly.
“Before we got married, you came to the capital to see Mr. Chen. After our relationship became public, Mr. Chen mentioned it to me during a meal,” Zhou Jingyan explained casually.
“I wrote it down, so I asked Old Chen to find a way to locate this jade bracelet.”
"In this matter, we should speak up for Old Chen. It was rumored that he had this jade bracelet, but the one he has is not the one you want. He's offering you a price because he doesn't want to do business with you, and he doesn't want to bother looking for it."
"This jade bracelet had already been lost overseas, and given that the other party's family was involved in many shady dealings, it was extremely difficult to acquire it. Old Chen went through many channels and resources, and finally bought it from them for 2 million, even risking his life in the process."
"His calculation of 300 million for me is not excessive."
Zhou Jingyan explained the situation in a calm manner, and Su Zhenzhen suddenly understood.
Then she fell silent.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingyan had taken his previous trip to the capital to see Old Chen to heart.
Suddenly, that unpleasant feeling vanished.
She thought, if someone is just going through the motions with you, they don't need to go to great lengths to please you.
Zhou Jingyan's deep voice quickly followed: "I wanted to surprise you on your birthday, but this bracelet only arrived this morning. Old Chen called me, and I came right away."
These words sounded extremely serious.
Zhou Jingyan's car happened to be parked in the mall's underground parking garage.
We went to the same French restaurant as yesterday.
Su Zhenzhen remained even quieter.
She suddenly understood what Zhou Jingyan meant; he was apologizing and wanted to celebrate her birthday with her again.
"So don't be angry with me. This kind of thing won't happen again. Although I missed your birthday, I will never miss it again," Zhou Jingyan said sincerely.
Su Zhenzhen could no longer refute this attitude.
She responded with an "oh".
Zhou Jingyan chuckled softly and suddenly kissed Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen passively watched this person, but did not refuse.
