Return to Splendid

Chapter 159 Love at the Seaside

At this time, Shi Zhiyuan received a call. Someone was looking for him outside, so he asked the waiter to take them upstairs. He would be back in a few minutes.

Room is No. [-] on the third floor, a standard suite for two, with a double sofa, color TV, wardrobe and dresser, and a double bathtub in the bathroom.There is also a semicircular balcony with two wicker chairs and a small coffee table with tea sets and flowers in bottles.

The waiter said: "The best room in our hotel is the third floor on this side. The location is neither high nor low. If it is high, the wind is strong, but if it is low, you can't see the sea. Room No. [-] on the third floor was specially reserved by Boss Shi the day before yesterday. .”

Ni Shuzhen saw the sea in the distance and was so excited that she covered her cheeks with her hands and exclaimed: "Wow, it's so beautiful."

"satisfied?"

"Does that need to be said?" She rushed over to hug him and kissed him wildly on the face.

Xing Yi took advantage of the situation and gave a princess a hug and spun around on the balcony twice.

After settling in, Xing Yi asked Ni Shuzhen to rest first while he went to the front desk downstairs to complete the procedures and pay the fee.

The receptionist said: "You can rest assured that the accommodation fee has been paid in advance by the boss Shi."

Xing Yi said: "How can this be done? We are traveling to get married, and we have brought enough money. Please return the money Boss Shi paid in advance."

The receptionist said: "I'm sorry, we have two lines of income and expenditure, and we can't retreat."

Shi Zhiyuan came in, and Xing Yi quickly said: "It's interesting enough that you helped us contact the hotel, why do you have to pay the fee in advance for us?"

Shi Zhiyuan said: "Don't say any more. You are guests. It's a rare visit, so let me show my friendship as a landlord."

Xing Yi said: "I'm really sorry."

Shi Zhiyuan said: "You are getting married on a trip. What you need is sweet time between the two of you. I have no arrangements for anyone to disturb you. I will make arrangements for you. You can rest for the night and I will come back tomorrow."

The next day he came alone and said, "I won't keep you for a long time. I'll catch up with brother Xing Yi. After saying a few words, I'll leave. You can have a good time."

While introducing them to the surrounding attractions, places to visit, delicious snacks, and shopping stores, it was almost time. I said goodbye with folded fists and drove away.

The two of them enjoyed the happiest time in their lives.

After three days of fun at the beach, there was a jewelry store next to the hotel. Xing Yi took Ni Shuzhen in to choose a gift for her.

There is a pair of sterling silver earrings with exquisite processing and pure color. Ni Shuzhen likes them very much. The price is 2888 yuan, which is not low. It should be said that it is worth the money.

When paying, the store owner smiled and said, "No need, someone has already paid for you."

"Is it Boss Shi again?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

The two young people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do. How could we feel so embarrassed when Boss Shi treated us like this?

Xing Yi arranged several classic dishes and specially invited Shi Zhiyuan to express his gratitude in person.

Shi Zhiyuan arrived at the invitation and raised a bottle of foreign high-end wine with a smile: "I just brought it, let's taste it together."

Xing Yi couldn't wait to talk about the sterling silver earrings: "I'll appreciate it if you do anything else, but I must give you the money for this item."

Shi Zhiyuan said: "It seems that if I don't tell you the true situation, you won't understand my feelings."

Shi Zhiyuan filled three glasses of wine and handed it to Ni Shuzhen with both hands. Ni Shuzhen stood up hurriedly and took it with both hands. She blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't drink."

Shi Zhiyuan looked at Xing Yi, who nodded and said, "Yes, she usually doesn't drink." Shi Zhiyuan said, "Then drink juice." Then he called the waiter, "Bring this lady a glass of fresh wine." Juice.”

The waiter went and a few minutes later brought out a plate with a goblet in the middle filled with orange-red juice.

Ni Shuzhen said quickly: "Thank you!" She took the juice and sucked it carefully.

While drinking, Shi Zhiyuan talked about the stone.

"After I brought that stone back, I put it at home for my friends to watch. People say that a gentleman does not take away from others what they like, but I have a friend who doesn't follow the rules and insists on letting me transfer it to him, leaving 30 yuan behind. It was taken by force.”

"Why did he give you so much money? Is it because of feelings?"

"No, no, you don't know, bloodstones like that are so rare here. Rare things are more valuable."

Shi Zhiyuan poured a second cup, clinked it with Xing Yi, finished it, put down the cup, grabbed Xing Yi's hand and shook it: "My friend is not too rich, but he likes it very much, and there is nothing I can do about it if he does this." , but for that stone, I only paid you [-] yuan at the beginning, but it has more than quadrupled in one month. Think about it, can I swallow this money in one gulp?"

Shi Zhiyuan poured the third glass of wine, and instead of holding the glass, he stared at Xing Yi: "When you asked for 20 or 23 yuan, I would give it to you, but you didn't do that. I admire your personality. Without generosity and straightforwardness, this stone would not have come here. You made me a net profit of [-]. From my point of view, I took advantage of you, so today I want to compensate. This is the most important thing in our industry. The foundation. Besides, what I give you in return is just a small change, which is nothing."

Xing Yi said: "How do you say it's me who makes the profit? I'm willing to give it to you. The stone is yours. How you sell it is your business. Before we came here, I was still thinking whether we were careless. We have just met once, and it was on business. Isn't it rude to bother you like this? After you arrived, you received me warmly and made thoughtful arrangements. I feel ashamed of my original thoughts."

Shi Zhiyuan said: "Come on, we two will do it! Sister, you can do whatever you want. Brother Xing, I have made a decision to be your friend. What I have done is just a small kindness. You must accept it no matter what. I will be very unhappy if you don’t accept it.”

Xing Yi could no longer control his emotions, so he said, "Boss Shi, please wait a moment. I'll go to the room and be back soon."

He ran upstairs, opened the room, took out the black leather bag from the cabinet, and took out two photos from the mezzanine. They were two rocks that he had arranged before coming and were taken at a good angle in the sun.

He showed the photo to Shi Zhiyuan for appreciation.

Shi Zhiyuan looked at the photo, his eyes glowing with the same color as the stone, and asked: "Why, are these two stones in your hands?"

"Yes," Xing Yi said frankly, "Boss Shi, point it out to me which piece you like, and I will send it to you when I get back."

"You sent it to me? Wait, I want to ask you first, what is your price for these two stones?"

Xing Yi said sincerely: "There is no price tag, as long as you like it, I will give it to you."

"No, no, it won't work if you don't put a price on it. Just like a person, you have no name or surname. Who knows you?"

"It's given to you, you can bid on it yourself."

"No, no, no, there are rules in the industry. The price is No. 1. I have supreme power over this stone."

"Then you are No. 1."

"Listen to me, you are too upright and forthright to be in this business."

"I didn't belong to this industry in the first place. It was by chance that I met chicken blood stone and made a fortune from it."

"I admire you even more for being so humble."

"As I said just now, we are destined to meet each other, and you are an expert. It is my honor to meet you. No matter which of these two pieces you like, I will give it to you."

Shi Zhiyuan was very excited and said: "You're frightening me. I'll help you contact accommodation and greet you for dinner. That's the courtesy of a landlord. What's more, you also reciprocated. That stone has already made me a lot of money." , you gave me such a big surprise again today. Hey!"

Shi Zhiyuan spread the two photos on the table, closed his eyes, raised his hands high, and said, "Move them."

Xing Yi followed his instructions, shifted the two photos a few times, and said, "Okay."

Shi Zhiyuan lowered his hand from the air and pressed one of them: "That's it."
