The night before the trip, Tang Ping prepared a luggage bag for Xie Huashan, which contained toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, and two sets of clothes.
Lu Ting repeatedly reminded Xie Huashan, "Comrade Huashan, I leave my wife in your care. You must protect her well. Remember, safety always comes first."
"Understood. I promise to complete the task."
Lu Ting actually didn't want Su Yan to run around, and he didn't want her to put herself in danger. Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, he could only support her silently in the end.
Su Yan also noticed that Lu Ting was worried, so in order to prevent him from thinking too much, she took him to the bed. This guy would not keep nagging in her ear if he was tired.
The next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, they set off. Before leaving, Su Yan asked Xie Huashan to pick up Yan Jun, Chen Jing and Gao Meixian.
After picking up the three people, Su Yan gave the co-pilot seat to Yan Jun and sat next to Gao Meixian.
The passenger seat was left for Yan Jun. If Xie Huashan got tired of driving, he could let Yan Jun take over.
As soon as they got in the car, everyone started chatting. Yan Jun said, "Boss Su, your car is great. It can carry both cargo and people. It makes me want to buy one too."
"Don't you have a bus at home? You need to register your truck, and you don't mind the hassle."
"The buses that my elders are given aren't mine, but now individuals can't buy private cars. Hong Kong is still better. Anyone with money can buy a car."
"You can move to Hong Kong City and settle down. Your eldest brother is there anyway."
"If I also go to Hong Kong, my brother, the second-generation rich kid, will be able to survive."
Chen Jing laughed and said, "Don't laugh at your brother. Your brother got married and had children before you. I think your niece looks like her father and is quite smart."
Gao Meixian asked Yan Jun, "It seems your sister-in-law also has a city hukou. She works in a government office, so she shouldn't be able to have a second child, right?"
Chen Jing gently squeezed Gao Meixian's hand and said softly, "If Yan San's wife wants to have a second child, she can go to Gangcheng to give birth, and the child can also be registered in Gangcheng."
"If she gets discovered by the higher-ups, she won't be able to do her job, right?"
"I started trying to get pregnant in August and September. Even with thick winter clothes, I couldn't tell. I started taking sick leave during the Lunar New Year and went to Hong Kong to live for a few months. When I came back, I left the baby at his eldest brother's house with a nanny."
Su Yan didn't expect that Chen Jing was so smart. They had figured out how to cleverly avoid family planning so early and not be punished.
If Yan Lao San's wife really gave birth to a child in Gangcheng, the child would not be under the name of the couple. Even if they brought the child back to raise, it could be said to be the child of the eldest son Yan Xi.
Moreover, the child can enjoy various benefits in Hong Kong City. As long as they refuse to admit that the child is theirs, who can prove that it is their child?
Su Yan jokingly asked Chen Jing, "When are you and your fiancée getting married? Are you planning to have two more children like this?"
"Boss Su, Meixian and I are getting married on National Day. You must come to the wedding. As for having children, maybe I, Chen, will be lucky. My wife also had three children in one pregnancy."
Gao Meixian smiled and gently pushed Chen Jing away, "Do you think I'm a pig? I gave birth to three babies in one litter."
Su Yan's heart turned cold when she heard this. Was Gao Meixian doing this intentionally? She had three babies in one pregnancy, so she meant that she was a pig.
Yan Jun said without hesitation: "Miss Gao, you are confused because of excitement. Our boss Su has two children and four babies."
Chen Jing knew that his fiancée was outspoken and brainless. If he had known, he would not have taken her out. "Sorry, Boss Su, Meixian made a slip of the tongue. She didn't mean it."
Only then did Gao Meixian realize that the triplets born next to her were already in their teens.
"Boss Su, I'm really sorry. I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about myself."
Su Yan's tone was very calm, and she uttered two words lightly, "It's okay."
Gao Meixian noticed that the atmosphere was not right and smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, may I ask what perfume you are wearing? Why does it smell so good?"
“Chanel No. 5.”
"What No. 5?"
Yan Jun pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law, Boss Su is talking about Chanel No. 5, a French brand."
Gao Meixian smiled awkwardly, "Actually, our domestic perfumes smell good too, especially the floral perfumes produced in Hai City. They come in three scents: osmanthus, jasmine, and rose. I like rose perfume the best."
That No. 5 spray that Boss Su uses smells good, but it's not suitable for young people."
Su Yan really wanted to say: "Young man, you have such good taste!" In the end, she just smiled and let it go. This Chen Jing has poor taste. Did his family choose a fool for him?
Along the way, Su Yan tried her best not to chat with Gao Meixian. This person not only has a low IQ but also an even lower EQ. He would kill the conversation while chatting, stepping on other people's boundaries and jumping back and forth on the edge of death.
Xie Huashan drove for four hours and found a place to have dinner in Hebei. Yan Jun drove for three and a half hours. After dinner in Henan, Xie Huashan drove for three hours again, and finally stayed in Hubei.
We set off early the next morning, had lunch in Hunan, and stayed in Guizhou at night. We walked and rested like this, and arrived at Ruili City, the border of Yunnan, in the afternoon of the third day.
Ruili City is located in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province, bordering Myanmar, the world's main jade production area. Relying on its unique location advantages, it is an important transit point for foreign jewelry to be sold domestically.
They are going to Myanmar, but before that, they want to visit the jade trading market in Ruili first, hoping they can find some good stuff.
There are crowds of people here during the day, and stalls are everywhere, selling finished jade ornaments and accessories, as well as raw jade.
Gao Meixian was dazzled by what she saw. She tugged at Chen Jing and said, "I used to think jade bracelets looked old-fashioned for young people, but now that I see such beautiful jade ornaments, I think I should be able to wear them too."
"Which one do you like?"
"That purple jade bracelet should be nice."
Chen Jing went up to the stall owner and asked, "How much is this bracelet?"
The boss looked at Su Yan and her group. It was obvious from their attire that they were not locals, and their accents sounded like Beijing dialect.
"Boss, this is top-grade violet. This bracelet costs 25,000 yuan. If your partner really likes it, I can give you a discount."
A bracelet like this cost 25,000 yuan, so he might as well just go and rob it. "Cough, cough, cough!" Chen Jing coughed non-stop at the inflated price.
Chen Jing asked him, "What about the one next to it?"
"This is only five thousand yuan."
Chen Jing was shocked. Who the hell said Ruili jade was cheap? A random bracelet would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. How rich must these jade merchants be?
Gao Huixian didn't expect the bracelet to be so expensive. Although she couldn't afford it, she still wanted to try it on. She pulled Chen Jing and acted coquettishly: "Brother Jing, look at this violet. It's so beautiful. Can I try it on?"
The stall owner said, "If you really want to buy it, I can give it to you to try on."
