Chapter 130: Surprised?
It turned out to be an exquisite glass tube with neatly arranged incense inside.
It was very thin, the kind of incense that you light in the house.
There isn't even a trademark on it; it looks so plain and simple.
"I know it's not appropriate to give you something valuable."
"You won't want it either."
"That's why I chose this for you."
"It's a bit of a coincidence, actually. The day I first met you, my Vietnamese client came to the company to give me some. It wasn't much, just two tubes. But it smelled good, so I gave you one. I hope you don't mind it being too cheap. It's really not a good thing. Not all girls like agarwood, and I gave it to you blindly."
Gu Xixing is a businessman and is very skillful in speaking.
He said he hopes you don’t think it’s too cheap, what else can you say?
Don’t want it because you think it’s too cheap?
And to be honest, Tu Ran really likes fragrance, all kinds of fragrance.
Even the smell of incense in a temple would make her feel happy.
"Thank you, I won't mind."
Tu Ran opened the lid, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xixing asked.
"This is agarwood from Nha Trang, Vietnam. It's wild and very expensive."
"Really? I don't know. Is there any difference between wild and artificial ones?" Gu Xixing actually knew everything, but he deliberately pretended not to know.
Because he didn't want to show off, nor did he want Tu Ran to think that this thing was expensive. Once she thought it was valuable, she would not accept it.
Tu Ran carefully put the lid back on. "The scent of wild agarwood is very unique and cannot be imitated artificially. It has a penetrating coolness. It has a chilling feeling, sweet but not greasy, and it is refreshing."
"Is there so much to pay attention to?"
"Don't pretend, Gu Xixing, you know everything. If you are an agarwood lover, you can't be unaware that this is wild agarwood. Wild agarwood is extremely expensive. And your client gave it to you, which proves that you must like it."
"Oh, you don't have to be so smart. It feels bad to be exposed." Gu Xixing smiled.
"I can't accept this gift."
As expected, Tu Ran still refused to accept it.
This wild Nha Trang agarwood, of this quality, costs at least tens of thousands per gram.
It would cost at least 50,000 or 70,000 yuan to buy so many incense sticks.
Bags and other things are nothing compared to it. This is a simple single-tube fragrance, which is a daily necessity for top wealthy people, but a ceiling that poor people will never reach in their lifetime.
"But I still want to give it to you, what should I do?"
"Will it be unlucky if I take back something I gave away?"
"Don't use moral blackmail on me." Tu Ran corrected.
"I don't have any."
"How dare I?"
"I really just think this is good. Considering that you are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, sometimes when you have a lot of energy, you can order this to refresh your mind."
"Then let me buy it." Tu Ran said.
"How can that be? What have I become? A salesman?" Gu Xixing immediately shook his head.
"If you don't agree, I can't take it. If you agree, I'll give you the money."
"Just give me five hundred."
"Five hundred is definitely not enough. Fifty thousand. If you want to sell it, I'll keep it. To be honest, I really like it. It's something you don't find easily."
"But if you don't agree, just take it back, Gu Xixing. I really can't take your things for nothing."
After Tu Ran came to Xiangcheng, he had a sense of boundaries with everyone.
After leaving the land where she once lived with her grandfather, the people in this big city were no longer worthy of her confiding.
So whether it is in the Xie family or when dealing with Gu Xixing.
She has that indescribable sense of detachment and propriety.
What Xie Nancheng hates is this sense of alienation and boundaries.
Gu Xixing has been looking for opportunities to break through, but it is difficult.
"Okay, I'll take your money."
Gu Xixing could see that she really wanted to buy it.
It would be a shame to take it back, so just accept it and find a chance to return the money later.
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you via WeChat."
After Tu Ran came to the Xie family, he had his own little treasury.
Although fifty thousand was a lot, she felt it was worth it to buy what she saw.
"Now that you have your driver's license, do you want to buy a car?"
"Um."
"Have you decided what to buy?"
"Not yet, we'll see when the time comes."
"I'm familiar with several 4S shop owners in Xiangcheng. You can tell me in advance and I'll ask them to give you the lowest discount and some other things, such as a driving recorder, seat cushions, etc. Of course, they're all small things." Gu Xixing said.
"good."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
"Goodbye, classmate Tu. I hope to have dinner with you next time."
Tu Ran just smiled faintly, hailed a taxi or two and left.
She felt that what she had said today was very clear.
After getting married, you won’t easily ask for gifts from others for free, so he will understand, right?
Tu Ran thought that he hoped he was just being overly suspicious and that Mr. Gu had no other thoughts about him.
It would be best to just treat her as an ordinary friend, or appreciate her talent in Chinese medicine.
After Tu Ran left, Gu Xixing looked at the 50,000 yuan he had just received and sighed slightly.
“This girl…”
"what do I do?"
He then took out his phone and said, "Keep an eye on Tu Ran's car purchase in the near future and contact all the major car dealerships in the city. If she goes to buy a car, tell me immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Xie Family Old House
Tu Ran came back early, chatted briefly with his grandmother, and then went into the greenhouse.
Xie Jiatong is still here. It seems that Yang Xin is seriously injured.
Tu Ran just heard from Pinggu that Xie Huaishan came in the afternoon and said that he wanted to temporarily send Xie Jiatong here for a while while he had to settle his personal affairs with Yang Xin.
It seems that the incident in the third room has caused a big stir. Tu Ran thought again, could it be the work of Xie Nancheng?
"sister in law."
"Um?"
"I want to eat ice cream." Xie Jiatong said in a baby voice.
"Ice cream?" Tu Ran came back to his senses and was stunned.
"Yeah, this greenhouse is very hot."
"Then go to the living room to find grandma, okay? You can't eat ice cream." Tu Ran picked up a tissue and carefully wiped the sweat from the child's forehead.
"Why can't I eat it?"
"My nanny often feeds me?"
"I give it to you often?" Tu Ran was shocked.
"Yes, even though my mom doesn't want me to eat them, the nanny will secretly give them to me when my parents are not at home to cheer me up. They are delicious. I like the vanilla and chocolate flavors. Sometimes, the nanny will give me five or six boxes a day just to make me happy."
Tu Ran was shocked...
She felt that she seemed to have found the reason why Xie Jiatong was in poor health and was always sick. This nanny was amazing.
Feeding a child five or six cartons of ice cream a day? I can’t even imagine it.
"Tongtong, eating too much ice cream will damage your spleen and stomach. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of maintaining good health. You are young and your spleen and stomach are not fully developed yet. You can't do that. It's not right."
"Ah? But the nanny always gives me food."
"But my sister-in-law is studying medicine. Do you think the nanny is better or the doctor is better?"
Xie Jiatong was hesitating to answer when Xie Nancheng strode in.
It was obvious that he had been drinking and reeked of alcohol.
"Come out, I have something to tell you." Xie Nancheng went straight to the point.
"That's great. I have something to tell you too." Tu Ran took a few steps forward.
