Chapter 75 Like-minded
At that moment, in a corner of the Western restaurant, Lu Mingzheng and Yu Jian were eating medium-rare steaks.
Seeing Jiang Ruzhen unleash her fury and drive away the troublemakers, the two couldn't help but chuckle at her tirade.
Looking at the unconventional Jiang Ruzhen, Lu Mingzheng suddenly found the steak on his plate, which he usually found quite delicious, no longer appealing.
Actually, he also likes to eat well-done meat. He had long since had enough of this raw, bloody meat when he was on missions before.
“Boss, this Ms. Jiang is truly remarkable. I have the utmost respect for her sharp tongue. From now on, she will be my Sister Jiang,” Yu Jian said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzheng straightened his back with pride, like a proud rooster.
He was just about to get up and go say hello to Jiang Ruzhen when he saw a woman turn out of the seat in front of her, sit down next to her with a smile, and start chatting with her.
Lu Mingzheng narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly sat down again.
Jiang Ruzhen raised an eyebrow as she looked at the woman beside her who was dressed in a very avant-garde style and looked to be about the same age as her.
The woman introduced herself with a smile, "Little sister, my surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Mi. You can just call me Sister Tang."
Can I have dinner with you at the same table?
"Why?" Jiang Ruzhen asked.
"Hey, you have no idea, my table was full of foreign guests, and they like to use knives and forks to eat their rare steaks."
I was forced to eat with them because of business negotiations, and I was really hungry. I wanted to eat noodles with chopsticks too.
Seeing Tang Mi's pitiful appearance, Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but chuckle. She raised her hand and beckoned the waiter to bring her another pair of chopsticks and another serving of spaghetti.
The two of them, one eating noodles and the other eating salad, chatted idly.
In just a few words, we felt like kindred spirits and regretted not having met sooner.
Tang Mi said that after she saw the foreign guests off, she would come over to visit Jiang Ruzhen the next night and show her around Hangzhou's nightlife.
Jiang Ruzhen did not refuse and readily agreed.
Tang Mi asked Jiang Ruzhen for some more tips on how to curse before reluctantly returning to her table.
Finally, after eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the second son was shocked to find that the bill had cost over 120 yuan.
He never expected that a few pieces of roast beef, a plate of noodles, and a plate of fruit would cost so much in this restaurant; it was practically robbery!
If I had known, he wouldn't have swallowed it whole; he should have cut it into strips and savored it slowly.
He said that people in the restaurant were using knives to cut the meat into small pieces to eat.
They were actually reluctant to spend the money and wanted to slowly savor the feeling of burning through cash.
Jiang Ruzhen laughed heartily upon hearing this, gave him a brief explanation of Western dining etiquette, paid the bill, and led him for a walk along the lake.
The second son muttered about unscrupulous merchants the whole way, but he only regained his interest in sightseeing when he saw the breathtaking scenery of the stream and lake.
The two started from the Broken Bridge, circled half of the lake, and arrived at Yinling Temple.
Jiang Ruzhen went in and asked for amulets for the whole family, and also asked for one for Lu Mingzheng, asking her second son to deliver it to him.
The second son is usually very filial, but at this moment he doesn't care about anything.
Jiang Ruzhen was so angry that she punched him and angrily threw the amulet into her bag.
As for whether or not to give it to that person, let's leave it to fate.
"Mom, the scenery of this stream and lake is so beautiful. I wish we could have a house here too. I will definitely work hard to earn money in the future and try to bring my eldest brother, third sister, and youngest brother here to play."
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Jiang Ruzhen's favorite place was the misty, rainy Jiangnan region, and she instantly had the idea of buying a house there.
You should know that with current housing prices, a courtyard house by the lake would cost at most 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and housing prices in Suzhou are also very cheap now.
Fortunately, she had some low-quality jade jewelry left by Qin Lanlan in her space, which she could sell to buy several houses in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Thirty years from now, the housing prices in these two places will be astronomical, and she won't be able to buy them even if she wanted to.
"That's a good idea. After we go to the wholesale market to buy the goods tomorrow, I'll go look at the house."
"Huh? Mom, are you serious? Do we have that much money?" The second son didn't expect that his mother would take his casual remark seriously.
However, earning money to buy a house is also a way to save money, so he didn't try to persuade him much.
"If we can't buy a big one, we can still buy a small one!" Jiang Ruzhen didn't tell the children exactly how much money she had, because she couldn't explain it clearly, so she just glossed over it.
The two strolled around for an afternoon. Jiang Ruzhen was a little tired, but the second child was still reluctant to leave.
"We'll take care of business first tomorrow. You can come and explore on your own when we get back. The hotel isn't far from here anyway."
Jiang Ruzhen suggested it, and the second son agreed, so he went back to the hotel with her.
The two washed up and went to bed early. The next day, after having breakfast downstairs, they headed straight to Huang Taiyang Clothing City, the largest clothing wholesale market in Hangzhou.
After going inside and taking a look around, Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The fashion trends in Hangzhou are somewhat different from those in Guangzhou. It mainly consists of various styles of jeans, Panama pants, and polyester shirts in different colors.
Or some wool suits, which are roughly the styles that are popular in autumn.
She could also wholesale these clothes and sell them, and people would still buy them. But now she's not satisfied and wants to get some unique items.
Ideally, she should be the only one with a dominant position, so that she can carve out her own niche next to the shopping mall and gain a firm foothold.
Undeterred, she went up another floor, and as she wandered around, a large sack piled up in a corner caught her attention.
She went forward to check with a look of surprise and found that the jeans were still the same style, except that each pair of jeans had cute patterns embroidered near the side pockets.
Some designs feature flowers, birds, insects, and fish, while others depict dragons, phoenixes, lions, and cranes. The needlework is exquisite, lifelike, and very distinctive.
She then turned to look at the burlap sack next to her, which contained some simple short-sleeved T-shirts, with various patterns embroidered on the chest.
This was the special outfit she wanted, so she quickly went up to the shop owner and asked.
"Boss, how much are these clothes wholesale?"
The boss didn't even look up and coldly said, "Those are clothes prepared for export, not for domestic sale."
ah?
Jiang Ruzhen felt a chill run down her spine, but she still wanted to give it her all.
"Can you sell me some at export prices?" She believed in the spending power of young people today, and that as long as she said these were export clothes, her stock would be sold out in an instant.
"I said I'm not selling, and that's final. Why are you dragging your feet?" The shop owner, who was squatting on the ground, turned around and scolded him irritably.
But when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was suddenly stunned. "Sister Jiang, what are you doing here?"
