Rebirth in the 70s: A military wife who was married into a vegetative state

On the way back to the hospital, An Nian leaned on the back seat and looked at the street scene outside.

There are many people in Hong Kong City, and the roads are extremely narrow. It coincides with the rush hour after get off work, and cars stop and go.

The guard sitting in the passenger seat looked at her worriedly.

"Dr. An, are you really going to help the Chen family bet on stones tomorrow? I heard that nine times out of ten you lose when you bet on stones..."

Before coming to Hong Kong City, the guards obtained information about Hong Kong City. It was not safe here and gangs were rampant.

If the bet loses, I wonder if the Chen family will get into trouble. After all, there are only three of them.

"Yeah. I have to get my mother's stuff back."

An Nian turned back and smiled at her.

"It doesn't matter. I will take care of it when I bet on stones..."

"it is good."

They will also be ready to counterattack at any time tomorrow. No matter what, Dr. An must return to the mainland safely!

-

The next day, Chen Jinrong drove over personally to pick up An Nian.

An Nian got into his car, and the two guards followed behind.

Chen Jinrong looked back and rolled his eyes secretly.

"Cousin, these two bodyguards of yours are really doing their duty. I told you it was a family dinner, and they still want to follow me."

An Nian leaned lazily on the back seat: "This will reassure me. Is the dinner place far away from the place where we see the rough stones?"

Chen Jinrong knew that the relationship between the two was unlikely to ease, so he stopped beating around the bush.

"It's the same hotel."

"Ah."

An Nian closed his eyes slightly and stopped talking.

The car drove for half an hour and stopped in front of a luxury hotel in Central.

An Nian got out of the car.

"Click."

The sound of a camera rang. An Nian turned around and saw many reporters squatting across the street, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Chen Jinrong glanced at it and said: "There will be many celebrities from Hong Kong's political and business circles attending the meeting today, so there will be more reporters. It's okay, they don't know you."

There was disapproval in his words.

An Nian's face was like nobody's in Hong Kong, and no one would care at all.

"Ah."

An Nian looked away and followed him into the hotel door.

Across the street.

The reporter who happened to capture An Nian put down the camera thoughtfully: "The lady just now looked familiar."

"Huh? Does it look familiar? We must have never met before."

"No! We have met!" The reporter who took the photo suddenly lit up, "I remember! We photographed her at the airport a few days ago! She is Xiao Jinnian's lover!"

"No way?! Why is Xiao Jinnian's lover dating Chen Jinrong?"

"The biggest gossip of the century!"

At this time, An Nian and Chen Jinrong had no idea that the next day, the two of them would appear on the front page of Gossip Weekly together with Xiao Jinnian.

As soon as An Nian entered the venue on the third floor of the hotel, the old lady of the Chen family called to her.

"Niannian, come here, grandma will introduce you to our relatives and friends."

An Nian was pulled by her and wrote down a lot of people's names.

I also really saw how intricate the Chen family is.

The Chen family is a family business through and through. The family started from the old couple, the old lady and the old man. Over time, their relatives on both sides have grown into third and fourth generations. At a glance, they have reached four. More than ten people.

And these more than 40 people work at Chen Ruilin.

After learning all the above, An Nian said: "..."

The Chen family does not need her intervention at all, they will naturally die out in this era of rapid economic development.

It was said to be a family dinner, but in fact there were many business partners of the Chen family, and An Nian also got to know them.

The old lady's attitude left everyone confused, and the Chen family members even smiled on their faces, secretly looking at An Nian with a sharp look in their eyes.

"Come, Nian Nian, sit next to grandpa and grandma."

An Nian was pulled by her to sit down, and then she saw her busy grandfather.

The old man was talking to his business partners just now, and he can only take time now.

"Is this Nian Nian? The last time grandpa saw you, you were only five years old."

The old man looked kind and missed him very much.

"You look so much like your mother."

"Hello, grandpa." An Nian now only listens to the Chen family selectively.

"Okay, okay. I will accompany my grandpa to see the rough stones later. I heard from your cousin that you have studied the rough jade stones very thoroughly."

An Nian smiled: "I can't say it's thorough, just a little bit lucky."

Since the Chen family wanted to borrow her luck, she would lend it to them. Whether they could take it or not was not An Nian's business.

"Okay, okay, good luck is also a kind of strength." The old man nodded with a smile.

After a brief chat, the banquet started.

As the head of the Chen family, the old man stood up and began to speak.

An Nian quietly sipped the drink in the cup and listened with a smile.

After listening to the old man's words, An Nian realized that this dinner party could be regarded as a year-end summary of the Chen Ruilin Group.

The old man's words were cadenced and full of passion. It sounded to An Nian as if Chen Ruilin had become one of the world's top 500 companies.

If she hadn't gotten the specific information about Chen Ruilin from the Xiao family, just listening to Mr. Chen's words, she might really think that Chen Ruilin was a hot potato.

An Nian scanned the whole place without leaving any trace.

Many people had excited looks on their faces.

"Okay, everyone, let's eat and drink to your heart's content!"

The old man was very satisfied and ended the speech with a concluding sentence, and his face glowed brightly when he sat down.

"Nian Nian, since you have arrived at Hong Kong City, don't go back."

An Nian declined: "Grandpa, my husband is still in the mainland."

"It doesn't matter, he can also come and settle in Hong Kong City. The living conditions in our Hong Kong City are so good. Grandpa can give you whatever you want. Isn't it better than if you don't have enough food, clothing or warmth in the mainland?"

"No, thank you, grandpa." An Nian lowered his eyebrows slightly to cover up the impatience in his eyes.

"Okay." Mr. Chen didn't force her, he just turned the bowl of braised pork in front of An Nian. "Come on, eat more meat. You must have never tasted such delicious braised pork in mainland China. Eat two more pieces."

An Nian: "..."

Her Yuanyuan braised pork is a hundred times more delicious than this bowl!

Halfway through the meal, someone suddenly ran in and whispered something into Mr. Chen's ear.

Mr. Chen immediately put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

After the words fell, he lowered his head and looked at An Nian.

"Niannian, are you full? Are you going with grandpa?"

The question he used actually contained a hint of toughness in his attitude.

"it is good."

An Nian didn't care. Anyway, her purpose today was to get back her mother's things. Eating didn't matter.

In addition to the two of them, Chen Jinrong and his son also followed.

Including the two guards who were inseparable from An Nian, the group of six people walked in a hurry.

"The auction upstairs has started early. We must carefully observe the condition of the rough stone later and be sure to buy it at the most suitable price."

In the elevator, Mr. Chen explained in a deep voice.

"Nian Nian, if you have a rough stone that you like, just write down its number and give everyone else's to grandpa."

He was still wary of An Nian and didn't trust him very much.

An Nian nodded slightly: "Understood."

The elevator goes all the way up.

With a "ding" sound, it stopped on the ninth floor.

Several people walked out.

An Nian stood at the elevator entrance and looked around the entire ninth floor.

Its area is the same as the venue where we just ate, but because all the spaces are opened up, it is very open at first glance. Sunlight from all directions penetrates through the windows, making the entire ninth floor space very bright and transparent.

An Nian took a deep breath and felt that her mind was broadening.

"Mr. Chen! Long time no see!"

Someone saw Mr. Chen and came over with a smile.

"Mr. Wu! Hahaha, you still look..."

After a brief exchange of greetings, An said it and forgot about it, and she just walked forward.

"Nian Nian, let's go see the goods."

Chen Jinrong grabbed her arm and said in a low voice.

"When grandpa and the others finish their greetings, the auction will begin. We only have half an hour."

"it is good."

An Nian didn't really like listening to a group of people's hypocrisy. Listening to their pleasantries, he might as well go look at the rocks.

On the left are people talking loudly, while on the right there are various jadeite stones placed in a wider area.

They are not big in size, after all, they are put up for auction on the ninth floor.

"Despite their small size, they are not cheap."

Chen Jinrong explained in a low voice,

"The stones that can appear here have all been viewed by professional appraisers. Either the outer skin is in very good condition, or it has been opened.

The prices are not cheap, but the risks are much lower. Our family used to buy in the rough stone market, and after losing tens of millions of dollars in a row, grandpa wanted to reduce the risk..."

"Cough cough."

Father Chen coughed quickly when he heard that his son had almost wiped out all his family's wealth.

"Stop talking nonsense and look at the rocks quickly!"

He glared at Chen Jinrong, then turned to An Nian and said with a smile.

"Nian Nian, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense. Our family still has plenty of funds. If you have any rough stones that you like, just tell your uncle and he will buy you whatever he can."

He said this as if he was buying rough stones for himself.

An Nian felt funny in her heart, pursed her lips, and nodded obediently: "Okay, uncle."

After saying that, she focused on the rough stones on the ground.

It is said to be placed on the ground, but in fact it is placed on small shelves.

There is an exquisite sign next to each piece of rough stone. In addition to the number, there is also an introduction to it, such as the old pit species from Myanmar, its transparent appearance, etc.

Anyway, every word says it, it is worth the high price!

Oh, the price is also written in the center of the sign, which is the starting price.

These rough stones are all put up for auction.

This situation is actually very beneficial for rough stone merchants, but it is a bit difficult for buyers.

As a buyer, you not only have to write down the number of the rough stone and its characteristics before the auction starts, and give your own psychological price, but you also need to work hard to successfully buy it during the subsequent auction process.

No wonder Mr. Chen regards this auction as the last step and will not come to spend money unless it is absolutely necessary.

An Nian "looked" all the way.

She has a photographic memory. Basically, with just one glance, the appearance, number, and inner condition of the original stone are all clear.

Her unprofessional behavior also caused Chen Jinrong and his son to be stunned.

Father Chen approached his son and asked in a low voice, "Jinrong, are you sure An Nian really knows how to gamble on stones?"

Chen Jinrong's voice was a little floating: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes... but she did open two pieces of jadeite with very high clarity in a row."

When we were in Shencheng, the two best pieces of jadeite in Boss Liu's shop were both made by An Nian. After An Nian and his party left, Boss Liu's shop never sold ice jadeite again.

"Maybe she's just lucky?"

Father Chen glared at him: "You are unreliable!"

Chen Jinrong felt aggrieved: "I never said she was great, it was dad and grandma who said it themselves..."

"Shut up! Since she is unreliable, we can only work hard on our own."

"Um... Dad, my eyesight is not very good... I used to rely on Master Yan's calculations..."

Chen Jinrong smiled sheepishly. He didn't dare to tell the truth. If he failed, the whole family would criticize him.

Father Chen took a deep breath: "I understand. I don't rely on you!"

He raised his hand to cover his heart, always feeling suffocated. Why was his son so unable to get on the stage? He was completely incomparable to the Xiao family!

Speaking of Xiao Jinnian, he seemed to have seen Xiao Jinnian? !

Father Chen was startled and turned his head suddenly.

My neck was almost sprained.

Chen Jinrong also looked over, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Dad! Why is Xiao Jinnian here?! Is that the Hong Kong Governor next to him? No, who is the Hong Kong Governor coming with?"

"Stop pointing!"

Father Chen clapped his son's hand hard, lowered his head and tugged on his suit to make it more straight.

"Let's go say hello."

The two of them left in a hurry, completely forgetting to say hello to An Nian.

An Nian turned his head slightly and glanced at them, but didn't bother to pay attention and continued to "look" forward.

There are indeed a lot of good products here. She only looked at two rows and saw that several rough stones had jade in them, and the planting water was very good, almost all of them were above ice planting.

Sure enough, the rough stones selected for auction were all top quality.

only……

The prices for these fine products are a bit too high.

An Nian looked at a rough stone with the words "One Million" written on it.

It's not that big, only about the size of two basketballs. Well, two basketballs is not a subjunctive word, but a real thing.

This stone is composed of two spherical stones stuck together, a bit like a peanut and a bit like a gourd.

Its skin is very beautiful, light blue-gray, with python patterns and moss.

An Nian took the magnifying glass and flashlight from the side, bent down and took a look.

The skin at the intersection of the two "basketballs" is very thin, and the color inside seems to be visible when the light shines through.

blue-green.

Cutting it open, it might be sunny green, imperial green, or blue.

With raw jade, everything is possible before it is cut.

With such good performance, the price of one million is not high.

only……

-

At this end, Chen Jinrong and his son had already walked in front of the Hong Kong Governor. Chen's father said diligently: "Hello, Mr. Hong Kong Governor, this is..."

He was only halfway through his words when the foreign man standing next to the Hong Kong Governor suddenly lit up his eyes, raised his arm, waved away the two of them, and strode away to the right!

"Doctor An!"

"Hahaha, doctor Ann! Long time no see! You really look more and more beautiful!"

As soon as An Nian stood up straight, he was hugged gently.

The other party is very enthusiastic, but his behavior is very restrained. He only gives up lightly and quickly lets go.

At this time, An Nian also saw the face of the visitor clearly and smiled happily.

"Duke Abby, long time no see. You look very healthy."

"Hahaha, thanks to you! Since drinking the tea you gave me, my whole face has become radiant."

"Well, I look like I've lost a lot of weight."

Duke Abby's eyes lit up: "I lost a hundred pounds! I have recommended your tea to other old friends, and they all like it very much!"

The tea is not given for free. In addition to foreign exchange, there is also their friendship.

An Nian thought, no wonder Director Wang came to her to buy tea seedlings every year. It turned out that there was still this business.
