The transaction went very smoothly. Fang Yitong then invited everyone to lunch at the hotel. The young man next to them had already booked a private room at the restaurant. Seeing that they had already made reservations, Chen Hong decided not to refuse. After all, she might need to deal with them in the future. And if she were to find ambergris again, wouldn't she still have to sell it through these high-end people?
Being able to befriend these people was exactly what Chen Hong had always dreamed of. When the banquet began, Director Jin and her daughter, along with her niece Xiao Jie and Dr. Wu's wife and son, also attended the luncheon.
As soon as the banquet began, Director Jin took out two bottles of red wine and poured them for the ladies. When the men saw that it was red wine they had brought themselves, and that it looked to be of good quality, they all stopped drinking baijiu and poured themselves a glass of red wine to enjoy together. When Chen Hong looked at the bottles, she realized that they were two of the eight bottles of red wine she had sent to her sister.
This wine was secretly made by me behind my father's back, using the first batch of grapes grown in my spatial dimension. I only made 50 bottles in total, and mailed eight to my younger sister. Unexpectedly, she couldn't bear to drink them herself and gave them to Fang Yitong's family instead.
Chen Hong only had a small glass of the wine when it was bottled; she hadn't tasted any since. Watching her friends from Beijing at the table savoring it so attentively, Chen Hong and her sister clearly didn't understand.
After everyone clinked glasses, Chen Hong downed half a glass in one go. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that the taste was much better than when it was first bottled. The aroma seemed stronger than before, and it had a slightly smooth, silky feel. Since she didn't know much about red wine, Chen Hong couldn't really describe her feelings, but in short, it was exceptionally delicious.
Seeing that everyone at the table was drinking with great relish, even 21-year-old Fang Xiaoying and 19-year-old Wu Qingmu, two teenagers, were drinking with great enjoyment, the two bottles of red wine were empty after only three rounds of pouring. Seeing that everyone was still not satisfied, the men wanted to drink two more bottles of baijiu.
Director Jin and Mrs. Wu quickly stopped them, explaining that everyone had work to do that afternoon, and that it was best to drink in moderation. They especially cautioned Fang Yitong, who was receiving special attention from Director Jin and had to drive that afternoon; getting drunk wouldn't do.
Chen Hong then realized that this was not good; even though she wasn't drunk, it was still considered drunk driving. She needed to call a designated driver at the hotel entrance when she left, otherwise driving like this would be illegal.
Chen Hong took the opportunity to go to the restroom to pay the bill at the cashier, but was told by the waiter that the bill had already been settled, as their private room was reserved by a gold card customer and the cost had been deducted from the annual fee.
Chen Hong had no choice but to slink back to the private room, pretending nothing had happened, and finish her meal with everyone. As they left and reached the door, Director Jin saw the driver Chen Hong had booked and praised Chen Hong for being so thoughtful.
Everyone parted ways at the hotel entrance. Fang Yi, along with Director Jin, Mrs. Wu, and her younger sister Xiaoyun, all had to go to work in the afternoon. Fang Xiaoying and Wu Qingmu also had classes in the afternoon. Dr. Wu, along with the serious-faced middle-aged man and the tall young man, went back to the traditional Chinese medicine shop.
Chen Hong strolled around, leisurely wandering the streets of Beijing. During this trip to Beijing, she obtained the official invoice and tax payment certificate for her house purchase. Even her sister had gotten the property certificate with Fang Yitong's help, without Chen Hong having to make a single trip. Having connections really makes things easier! If she had relied on herself, she would have run herself ragged and still not finished.
The bank has already deducted over 50,000 yuan for the first month's repayment. It's a bit painful to think about. Once I've completed my home purchase plan, I need to earn money as soon as possible to pay off the loan. 50,000 yuan = how many fish can I catch? I can't think about it, I can't think about it!!!
On the way, Chen Hong saw a RT-Mart supermarket and went inside, browsing on the third floor. She bought an outfit for her sister and niece, along with two cashmere sweaters for her. Seeing that the quality was very good, Chen Hong also bought two outfits for her father and herself, and a wool sweater and pants set for her son. Children grow quickly, so she couldn't buy anything too expensive; they'd outgrow it in the blink of an eye.
She bought her father a mid-length wool coat and herself a short red wool coat. The total cost of the clothes was quite high, making it the most money Chen Hong had ever spent on clothes.
But Chen Hong was still very excited. Earning her own money and spending it as she pleased was simply wonderful. This was a scene she had dreamed of in her previous life! And now it had finally come true in this life!
After buying clothes, Chen Hong walked through the streets of Beijing carrying large bags. There was a real estate agency every few dozen meters; there were so many houses for sale in Beijing! Why is housing still so scarce even with so many sellers?
As Chen Hong walked past a real estate company, someone called out to her. Hearing a familiar voice, she turned around and saw it was Wang Hui, the sales manager of Qianke Real Estate Company, who had helped her with the property procedures during her previous trip to Beijing.
Wang Hui is only 28 years old. He is tall and thin, with a fair complexion and a friendly smile. He is a young man who makes people like him at first glance.
