Su Yan had no idea what to talk about with this strange neighbor. If she hadn't been standing at the door talking to her, she wouldn't have casually invited her to her house.
"Mrs. Lu, my name is Zhang Yongfang. I'm your new neighbor. I used to live next door to you. Her husband was injured during a mission and has since been demobilized."
"Oh, hello."
"Mrs. Lu, are you very busy? I've moved here for more than half a year and I haven't seen you come back to the military compound."
"I live in the city and am usually too busy to come back. Plus, my children are all in the city..."
"No wonder Commander Lu rarely sleeps at home except at noon. It turns out he's back in the city. No wonder you're so relieved."
She only has money in her eyes now, and she is rarely at home, so how can she have time to care about that man? As long as they are at home, she will usually cooperate with him to roll out of the bed when necessary.
I didn't expect that Zhang Yongfang was quite gossipy. She wasn't very familiar with her, so there was no point in talking about these things.
She is now excited because she has made a lot of money from stock trading, but she is also worried about making a lot of money.
In fact, short selling with margin financing is not illegal. She did not receive any insider information from the institution in advance, and she did not have any malicious intention to short sell, but she was still worried about being investigated.
Money is so hard to make. Making some money in the stock market makes her look like a criminal now. Fortunately, she has no dealings with those institutions, otherwise she might really be investigated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Su Yan was still thinking about stock trading. Zhang Yongfang felt embarrassed when she saw that she didn't say anything, so she ate a piece of watermelon and offered to go back.
"Mrs. Lu, I'm going to the farm to buy tofu. I'll go back first."
Su Yan came back to her senses and said, "Okay, take care."
As soon as Zhang Yongfang left, Su Yan pushed the two suitcases back to the room, entered the space and began to organize the supplies she bought in the beautiful country.
She put all the red wine and foreign liquor she bought into the basement wine cellar. She originally wanted to sell these wines in her own store, but now she thinks it is better to keep them. It would be great to use them to entertain guests in the future or to keep them for when the price goes up.
When thinking about wine collection, Su Yan suddenly remembered the 1982 Lafite, which she could never finish drinking. Only 240,000 bottles of Lafite were produced that year, but three million bottles were sold in China. This shows how highly this wine was hyped.
In her previous life, she had never tasted the real 1982 Lafite. In this life, she wanted to buy some to try. It would be best if she could travel to France next fall and find a wine merchant to buy dozens of boxes of 1982 Lafite. She didn't know if she could succeed in buying them.
Su Yan spent more than an hour tidying up the wine cellar. After she finished, she saw that it was almost five o'clock, so she took out two bottles of XO and two bottles of red wine from the space and placed them on the five-drawer cabinet.
There is no way because there is no wine cabinet at home. What if the cupboard where I put the wine is knocked over?
Besides, this house is not big, and there is probably no place to put a small wine cabinet. Fortunately, the new house in Gangcheng is big enough and is still under renovation. She asked the designer to design a wall of Western-style wine cabinets in the restaurant.
Because there was not enough time, Su Yan did not go into the space to continue sorting. Lu Ting was about to get off work, and she had to go to his office to see if she could call her son.
Lu Ting did not have a meeting today, so he planned to clean up his desk and return to the city early. He had to go back and keep an eye on dinner time. His wife was not at home, so he had to take over many things.
“Boom boom boom~!”
"Come in!"
As soon as Su Yan opened the door, she met Lu Ting's deep eyes. "Yan Yan, why are you back? When did you come back?"
"I returned today. I went back to the military compound before returning to the city."
Lu Ting was extremely surprised to hear this. He stood up, locked the office door, and put his arm around Su Yan's waist. "Wife, did you miss me so you came here to wait for me to go home together?"
She came to the military compound because she hadn't seen him for a long time, and secondly because she wanted to tell Lu Ting about her life in the United States.
"Lu Ting, I went to the United States to visit my son some time ago."
"Ah, why did you go to the United States? Is Yiming doing well there?"
"My son is doing okay. He might have to stay abroad for a few years before coming back. I gave him some money before I left so he could get his driver's license first and then buy a used car. He and his classmates rent a house in the suburbs, at least 20 or 30 miles away. A car would make it easier for him to go to school."
“Are cars cheap in the United States?”
"There are cars worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of dollars. I asked Yiming to buy a used car worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."
Oh no, thinking about her son's driver's license test, she actually forgot to take the test in Hong Kong. Forget it, she might as well take the driver's license test in China first, and then go to Hong Kong to take the test.
"You gave Yiming so much money, he wouldn't do anything wrong, right?"
"Lu Ting, don't you know what kind of person your son is? These past few years, whenever he had free time, he would go out to work as a waiter with the international student he shared the apartment with."
"Is your son really short of money? Why is he working?"
Su Yan thought that all his classmates should go out to work, so there was no reason for him to eat dry meals at home alone. Besides, working in the United States was paid by the hour, and one day's work there might take a month in China.
"Wages in the US are higher than in Hong Kong, and so are the costs..."
Lu Ting also knew that the United States was very developed. Not to mention that the United States and Russia were more developed than China.
He had been on a mission to Russia before, when there was not enough food in the country and many people had nothing to eat. The people of Russia ate a lot of meat and fish every day, drank milk in the morning and wine at noon, and never lacked food.
"Yian will be taking the college entrance exam next year, so why not send him to study abroad?"
"He previously wanted to go to Renmin University. If he wants to study abroad, we will naturally support him, even if it means paying for it ourselves."
Everyone has their own path to follow. If his son didn't want to join the army, he wouldn't say anything. His own best option at the time was to join the army, which is why he never went to college.
"All of Tongming's classmates who went abroad with him have returned to China, and the government has arranged jobs for them. I don't know if my son, who stayed abroad to continue studying, will be assigned a job after he returns."
Su Yan shook her head. She was not sure whether her son was willing to return to China. If he did, many companies would come to poach him and there would be no shortage of jobs.
"You haven't called Yiming for a long time, right? Can we go to the telegraph department and call your son back?"
"Yan Yan, you forgot about the time difference. Yi Ming is probably still sleeping at this time."
Su Yan thought about it and realized that she was indeed sleeping at this time, so she decided to forget it. To make a domestic long-distance call, she had to call the long-distance station first to be transferred. Calling abroad was even more cumbersome. She decided to wait a while before returning to Hong Kong City to make the call.
During her time in Hong Kong, she didn't dare to make random phone calls to foreign countries, lest they think she had stolen some information abroad and maliciously shorted the stock.
Forget it, I'll find a way to call him next time.
"Yan Yan, since you're back, let's stay here tonight!"
"Let's go back. The kids won't be taken care of by anyone when we're not home. By the way, Lu Ting, the hot pot restaurant should be almost finished, right?"
“The renovation is almost done.”
