After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 97: It’s not a call from an old sweetheart, so what is he guilty of?

Zhang Rong's expression became serious when he saw how big these two pearls were. He had just taken off his gloves and put them on again.

He first picked up the golden one and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became: "Does this flame pattern form the shape of a deer?"

Jiang Xia smiled and nodded.

"Good guy! This is no longer a pearl, but a treasure!"

Jiang Xia: "Brother Zhang, look at this white one again."

Zhang Rong put down the golden pearl and went to get the white pearl from the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam.

"Camellia?" He looked at Jiang Xia in disbelief.

"Brother Zhang has good eyesight."

Depend on! What's the fate of this couple? Originally, most of the pearls in that pack were very good pearls, which were extremely rare!

There are actually two such the best of the best!

"Where did you two big guys get it? I'll go get it some other day too!"

Zhou Chenglei glanced at Jiang Xia: "Jiang Xia picked it up on the beach after the typhoon."

"Brothers and sisters are so lucky!"

Jiang Xia smiled: "It's just a coincidence."

"No, I will go to your place to try my luck next time after the typhoon passes."

Jiang Xia: "You are welcome at any time. Maybe Brother Zhang will pick up an even better pearl by then."

"Haha... I appreciate your words! These two pearls can definitely be put up for auction. I will have them sent to Hong Kong or abroad. It will definitely not be less than one thousand yuan per pearl. This is quite conservative. Fortunately, you did not sell this shell. If you take the conch shell together, it will be even more valuable. Some collectors abroad like to collect these.”

Jiang Xia: "I saw that these two conch shells were so big and quite beautiful. I kept them because they seemed to be some years old. I also know that some collectors like to collect these, just wondering if they can be sold for money."

"My brothers and sisters are very knowledgeable. Some people really like to collect conch shells. I will give you two thousand yuan for these two pearls, and you can sell them for as much as you want. Just wait for me."

Zhang Rong went to the room behind the office, took out three stacks of large unity from the safe, pulled out two, and then walked out.

Just then the office phone rang.

Zhang Rong said to the two of them: "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."

Zhou Chenglei: "It's okay, you take it."

Zhang Rong picked up the phone: "Hello."

A cheerful male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Second brother, I booked a train ticket today and will see you in two days. I will arrive at the station at five o'clock the day after tomorrow. Remember to pick me up at the train station."

Zhang Rong frowned: "Why did you come here if you have nothing to do? How many days will you come here?"

"Five days, I was ordered to send something to my captain."

"What are you giving me? Commander Zhou is here right now. Do you want to say a few words to him?"

Zhang Rui on the other end was surprised when he heard this: "Why is the leader at your place! I want it! Let him answer the phone!"

The excited voice was so loud that Jiang Xia heard it, and she looked at Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei didn't hear it.

Zhang Rong handed the phone to Zhou Chenglei: "That guy Zhang Rui said he wanted to see you."

Zhou Chenglei stretched out his left hand to take the phone, put it in his left ear and listened: "Hello."

"Captain, why are you at my second brother's place?"

"Selling pearls."

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seemingly surprised, and then said, "Ask him to give you a higher price. If he wants to charge you cheaper, I'll tell my grandpa to beat him!"

Zhou Chenglei didn't reply: "What's the matter?"

"It's your grain household relations and file information. I will send it to you. The train will arrive tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow. I will go to the village to find you then."

Zhou Chenglei subconsciously covered the microphone after hearing this and glanced at Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia didn't hear it and gave him a confused look.

Zhou Chenglei subconsciously turned slightly to the side, keeping the other end of the phone away from Jiang Xia without leaving a trace, and replied to the person on the other end of the phone: "I understand, you don't have to go to the village to find me. I will come to the second brother to find you when the time comes."

Jiang Xia: "..."

No, is there a man on the other end of the phone?

It’s not like we were old friends, so what was he guilty of?

The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say. Jiang Xia heard Zhou Chenglei say something else: "See if you can buy me two sets of diving suits, one for a man and one for a woman... I'll see you then."

Zhou Chenglei didn't want to say too much, so he hung up the phone after saying a few words.

The person on the other end of the phone is still covered!

He hasn't finished speaking yet!

Zhou Chenglei put down the phone and was still worried, and said to Zhang Rong: "Zhang Rui is here the day after tomorrow. Ask him to wait for me at your place, and I will come to see him."

Zhang Rong: "Okay."

Zhang Rong put the money in front of Jiang Xia: "Brothers and sisters, this is 2,800 yuan. When the pearls are sold, I will give you the remaining money. But it may take a little longer. We are not in a hurry and will take action slowly. , sell it at a good price.”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang. You can make the decision." Jiang Xia stuffed the money into her bag.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Zhang Rong glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock before he knew it. He said to the couple: "Let's go, it's a rare visit to my place. Let's go have dinner."

Zhou Chenglei did not refuse. Zhang Rong had helped them a lot. It was reasonable to treat him to a meal, and Jiang Xia was probably hungry.

Zhou Chenglei said to go to a state-owned hotel. Jiang Xia seemed to have a special liking for state-owned hotels. They and Zhou's father also made an appointment to wait at the state-owned hotel.

Zhang Rong got tired of eating in state-owned restaurants, so he suggested going to a newly opened restaurant.

Jiang Xia had already experienced state-owned restaurants, so he said: "Shall we pick up Dad and try the newly opened restaurant?"

Look at how the catering industry is doing now.

Zhou Chenglei naturally listened to her: "Okay."

So the three of them went to pick up Zhou's father outside the state-owned hotel, and then went to another newly opened restaurant.

After the reform and opening up, two restaurants were opened in the city. They went to a recently opened Xinfeng Restaurant.

It's time to eat, and there are not many people in the restaurant. After all, it is the city center, and there are not many private restaurants now. The hall is almost full. Jiang Xia knows that the catering industry also began to develop in this era, and it developed rapidly in the 1990s. .

Jiang Xia thought that when she got rich, she could open a restaurant. After all, there was less competition now and there was no shortage of people in the city who had money and nothing to spend it on.

Zhang Rong asked for a private room.

Zhang Rong asked Zhou's father to order, but Zhou's father refused: "I can eat whatever I want, you order."

He asked Jiang Xia to order: "Brothers and sisters, take a look at what you want to eat. The chef of this restaurant was just hired from Beijing. He does a good job of roast duck."

Jiang Xia ordered a Peking duck and a pickled cabbage vermicelli meatball, and then let the two of them order.

Zhou Chenglei ordered American ginseng and black-bone chicken soup for Jiang Xia to drink, and asked Zhang Rong to order it.

Zhang Rong also ordered braised sea cucumber, mushroom and chicken nuggets, shredded pork and stir-fried bamboo shoots, squirrel mandarin fish, braised pork and garlic cabbage, a total of eight dishes and one soup.

During the meal, Zhou Chenglei and Zhang Rong were talking, sharing their views on reform and opening up, and their predictions about the world. Zhang Rong would not ignore Jiang Xia and Zhou's father, and would say a few words to them from time to time.

He just watched Zhou Chenglei pick vegetables for Jiang Xia from time to time during the meal. Jiang Xia probably didn't like chicken skin, so he took the chicken skin she bit off and ate it. Jiang Xia didn't like to eat the vegetables and frowned slightly after taking a bite. He frowned when he saw her frowning. He handed the bowl over and asked her to give him the food.

Zhang Rong felt full after not eating much at all!

Father Zhou thought happily, the pearls must have sold for a good price.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal.

After dinner, Zhou Chenglei paid, saying that it was a wedding banquet for him when they got married, which made Zhang Rong feel embarrassed to compete with him.

A total of so many dishes cost about 10 yuan, which seemed to be a good deal. However, Jiang Xia turned around and thought that her current salary was only about 30 or 40 yuan a month, and she didn't think it was a good deal anymore.

After eating and saying goodbye to Zhang Rong, the three of them went straight to the shipyard.

The doorman of the shipyard also recognized Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia. They were really good-looking. He smiled and said, "Oh, you guys are good to come! There is a big bargain today!"
