"We stay at home every day, so boring. I don't want to be a star anymore, and I don't want to be an idol anymore. I want to quit the entertainment industry and live the life I want!" Xu Meng lowered her head and said softly.
Hao Meng was stunned for a moment. He could tell from Xu Meng's words that she was not in a good mood today. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, if you don't want to be in the entertainment industry, you won't be in trouble. What do you want to do and what I support you. Although I can't let you do whatever you want, I believe I have this strength in the future!"
Do whatever you want?
Xu Meng was stunned, raised her head and wrinkled her little nose, and said, "Then I will make unreasonable trouble in the future. You won't blame me, will you indulge me?"
"Yes!" Hao Meng nodded with a smile.
Xu Meng blinked and said, "Didn't you coax me?"
Hao Meng smiled and shook his head and said, "It must not be. You should know how important your position in my heart is!"
"Then I want you to marry me, will you agree?" Xu Meng asked with a playful smile on her face, as if she was jokingly asking.
"Marry!" Hao Meng nodded affirmatively.
"Really marry?" Xu Meng was stunned for a moment and asked repeatedly.
"Marry really!" Hao Meng said with a smile.
Xu Meng was happy and said with a giggle: "You think so beautifully. If you are willing to marry me, I may not be willing to marry you. It is so easy to marry me as a lady!"
Hao Meng touched his nose, it seemed you mentioned it first?
"I'm in a good mood now!" Xu Meng stood up with a smile, pulled Hao Meng from his seat, hugged his arm and walked out, saying, "Let's go, come with me to buy something. In two days, my grandfather's 60th birthday, I need to choose a gift for him!"
Grandpa’s 60th birthday? Hao Meng shook his head with a wry smile. He had never seen Miss Xu’s grandfather before. However, since Meiren Xu proposed it, he naturally couldn’t refuse.
"Your car?" Hao Meng looked at the black Land Rover parked on the road and asked curiously.
Xu Meng smiled and shook her head and said, "I can't afford this kind of luxury car. My aunt's brother's belongs to me. I'll lend it to me for a few days first. They'll drive away after school starts!"
"A wealthy family!" Hao Meng couldn't help but sigh. In the past, he could only look at such a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan and enjoy it. However, he is not envious now, because with his ability, he can afford it, or even exceed this level of luxury cars.
"A wealthy family? Is Mr. Meng laughing at the little girl? Compared with you, the future business giant, how many people in China dare to call you a wealthy family in front of you!" Xu Meng threw a charming look at Hao Meng and giggled.
After getting on the bus, Xu Meng asked, "What gift do you think, as a junior, should I give you?"
Hao Meng didn't know what gift to give to his elders. After thinking about it, he said, "It doesn't matter what gift to give. The most important thing is that kind of intention. The elders don't think of the things they are from the younger generation. Do you think this is the reason?"
"Yes!" Xu Meng nodded and drove to the antique market in Shicheng. He smiled and said, "My grandfather likes antiques, jade, etc., let's start from this aspect."
Hao Meng had no objection. He was just a staff officer throughout the process, not his grandfather's birthday.
Shicheng Antique Market is located in Guandi Temple. After the management standardization in recent years, it is considered to be the largest antique trading site in Shicheng. You can buy stamps, antiques, ceramics, and ancient jade here. Next to it is the newly built bird, fish, flower and insect market, all of which are next to it!
The two parked the car outside, and Xu Meng held Hao Meng's arm and walked inside. On hot days, there are not many people in the antique market, but most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, and the proportion of young people is not very large. There are not many young people who like antiques and other things now, or in other words, these things have no capital and cannot be played with. After all, young people are much different in this regard!
There are small vendors holding parasols on the roadside, and various antique shops on both sides. However, because of the vicious sun, everyone has a lazy and tired look on their faces.
"Boss, is this sheep a jade?" Xu Meng pulled Hao Meng down in front of a small stall, pointed to a jade-carved handpiece, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, the ancient jade of the Ming Dynasty!" The boss looked at Xu Meng's eyes lit up, and he instantly became much more energetic.
"It's from the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Meng thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It would be great if it was modern. My elders in my family don't like things from the Ming Dynasty, so they like modern high-quality imitations, which is a pity."
Hao Meng listened next to him and almost laughed, thinking that he was not making fun of others!
The owner of the stall was also stunned, but Xu Meng then pointed at the ancient coins beside the piece and asked curiously: "How do you sell these ancient coins?"
"These are fifty yuan each!" The vendor looked at Xu Meng, as if he was wondering what medicine was selling in this girl's gourd!
"It's so expensive!" Xu Meng muttered with a smile, pulling Hao Meng up and leaving.
"Beauty, don't leave. If you really want to buy it, I can count you as cheaper!" The boss saw that the two of them were about to leave, and hurriedly greeted them again.
"Three dollars per piece, I want one hundred pieces. Do you sell it?" Xu Meng stopped and looked at the other party and asked.
"Three dollars per coin? If you don't sell it, I'm more expensive than this one. If you really want to buy it, you'll cost ten dollars per coin!" said the street stall owner.
"Just three, one hundred pieces are three hundred. Not only that, you should also give me the 'Ming Dynasty ancient jade' you just mentioned, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it!" Xu Meng smiled and said in a coquettish voice.
Hao Meng smiled and said nothing, thinking that it would be strange if the boss could sell it. He bought 100 ancient coins for 300 yuan and also had to buy a piece of Ming Dynasty ancient jade hand-held piece, unless he was a fool.
But next, Hao Meng was confused!
The street stall owner thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll sell it to you, please pick it!" After that, he took a woven bag from the side. The woven bag contained at least two or three thousand ancient coins from various periods, but most of them were modern.
Xu Meng pulled Hao Meng back, squatted down and picked up a hundred pieces from the bag with good appearance, put them in, and then took over the sheep carving hand piece of "Ming Dynasty Ancient Jade" on the stall, and then took three red tickets from his small bag and handed them to the stall owner.
After leaving, Hao Meng couldn't help asking: "Is that boss stupid?"
Xu Mengjiao smiled and pinched him, and said softly: "You are stupid. People set up stalls to make money. Do you think the other party has lost money? Tell you that these ancient coins are bought by pounds. The purchase price of a hundred ancient coins will not exceed fifty yuan at most. I think the boss has recovered this 'Ming Dynasty ancient jade' for up to thirty or fifty yuan. So, just this transaction alone, someone has already earned 200 yuan today!"
Hao Meng was stunned for a moment, grabbed his head and smiled bitterly, "Then do you still buy it?"
