Coming out of the jewelry store, Huo Jieyan suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiaoning, I heard Jiayue say before that you were planning to open a jewelry store. What are your plans now?"
It's a good thing for a girl to be ambitious.
Whether in a prosperous port city or a backward inland area, most women are full-time "nannies" who are good wives and mothers.
These women's lives revolve around their families.
Therefore, even though Huo Jieyan is not short of money, she still wants to start her own business to enrich herself.
Just like Ning Jiayue, because she liked it, she relied on her own efforts step by step to become the general manager of Ning Group.
Women are no worse than men, so why should they be like a dodder that depends on men?
So when Sister Huo knew that Yan Ning wanted to open a jewelry store, she didn't have any other bad thoughts.
She just thought Yan Ning was an independent-minded and opinionated girl, and she was happy for Yan Ning.
Yan Ning smiled and replied, "I had this plan before, but my mind is full of immature ideas. I want to study and investigate more before making any plans."
Huo Jieyan showed a look of approval, "Okay, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me.
I do have some experience to teach you, and I know all the ins and outs of sourcing jadeite rough and gemstones."
She felt that Yan Ning had a good attitude and was not impatient in doing things.
Yan Ning smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you, aunt."
After shopping until about 11:30 am, they went to a Western restaurant for dinner.
Huo Jieyan was worried that Yan Ning had never eaten Western food, and was about to demonstrate to her when she saw Yan Ning calmly picking up the knife and fork and cutting the steak.
Both Sister Huo and Old Madam Ning showed a satisfied smile.
The Ning family planned to announce Yan Ning's identity on the day of Mr. Ning's birthday party.
From now on, Yan Ning will be the third daughter of the Ning family. They naturally hope that Yan Ning can integrate into the upper-class circles of Hong Kong City and become an outstanding socialite.
After observing him along the way today, they found that Yan Ning's behavior was dignified and graceful, and his etiquette and rules were up to standard.
Madam Ning and Sister Huo Yan were both relieved.
Huo Jieyan was cutting a steak and asked casually, "Xiao Ning, I see you use the knife and fork quite well. Have you ever eaten Western food before?"
Yan Ning smiled slightly, "Aunt Cheng took me there to eat once before. This knife and fork was only difficult to use the first time, but I got used to it after getting the hang of it."
Huo Jieyan smiled, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Speaking of Mrs. Peng, we have to thank her for taking you to the raw stone warehouse last time, otherwise we would not have had the chance to meet you.
By the way, Xiao Ning, tomorrow I am going to the Gem Market in Miandian to buy gems. Don’t you want to open a jewelry store in the future?
These gemstones are indispensable for making jewelry, and I'll take you to see the situation this time."
Yan Ning thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Although there is a jade mine in her space, she has no shortage of gems.
But it would be nice to go with Sister Huo and broaden my horizons.
Yan Ning thought again about the diamonds she was processing at the 21st Century, which should be finished this month.
She will call and ask at the end of the month.
After dinner, the three of them took a car back to Ning's house.
…
Eight o'clock the next morning.
Yan Ning packed up and went downstairs. After waiting for a few minutes, Huo Jieyan came down. Then the two of them went out and took a car to the airport.
He was accompanied by a female assistant and four tall and mighty bodyguards.
The group arrived at the airport, entered the waiting hall, and waited in the VIP lounge for half an hour.
When it was time to board the plane, they went straight through the VIP channel and found seats in the first-class cabin.
Yan Ning sat by the window, and Huo Jieyan sat next to her.
Several bodyguards sat in the front and back rows.
After the plane took off, the flight attendants served snacks and drinks to the first-class passengers.
Yan Ning felt sleepy as soon as he got on the plane, so he asked for a cup of coffee to wake himself up.
After flying for more than three hours, the plane landed at Myitkyina Yangon Airport.
After getting off the plane, several people had lunch at a fast food restaurant in the check-in building.
After dinner, we took a business car that we had rented in advance to Mandalay, the second largest city in Myitkyina.
Yan Ning leaned lazily on the back seat and asked, "Aunt, why is the gem trading market opened in Mandalay?
There are no direct flights there, and transportation is not convenient.”
She remembered that Mandalay Airport was not built and put into use until 2000.
Huo Jieyan explained: "Because Mandalay is the origin of jadeite rough stones and the largest trading market for jadeite rough stones,
Mogok is the origin of raw gemstones. In order to facilitate transactions, these merchants take the cut gemstones to Mandalay for sale.
Gradually, Mandalay became the largest gem trading market. If you want to buy raw gemstones, you still have to go to Mogok.
But processing the rough stones yourself is troublesome, and Mogok is not safe, so many people choose to go to Mandalay to buy cut gemstones."
Yan Ning nodded.
The vehicle drove for more than six hours and arrived in Mandalay at around seven o'clock in the evening.
After arriving at the booked hotel, they went back to their rooms to put their luggage, and then went out for dinner.
