"Hello Mr. Mu, the dragon stone jade necklace is 33.33 million Hong Kong dollars.
The ruby ring is worth HK$11 million, and the padparadscha ring is worth HK$17 million.
A total of HK$61.33 million."
Mu Tingchen didn't even blink as he quickly wrote a check and handed it to the clerk.
The clerk took the check and then handed the bill and the packaged jewelry to Mu Tingchen.
Mu Tingchen looked at Yan Ning and said, "When you're done with this busy schedule, how about we have a meal together?"
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Okay, then next Sunday, there's a Western restaurant in the Central Shopping Mall on Harbour View Street. Let's go there for lunch!"
The other person just spent a large amount of money in her store, so it would be difficult for her to turn her back on him.
Mu Tingchen nodded slightly and left the jewelry store.
Yan Ning turned around and looked at the store's treasures in the three separate counters.
It was only the first day of opening and we had already sold four pieces of jewelry.
There are so many rich people in Hong Kong!
Yan Ning walked around the store again and saw that everything in the jewelry store was in order.
Then she said a few words to Jiang Yan and Yu Mei and left the store.
Afterwards, Yan Ning found some time to go to the 21st Century and gave another dragon stone jade bracelet and the Wu Shi Pai to Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan.
Sunday, April 25th.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Yan Ning packed up and got in the car to go to the western restaurant in the Central Shopping Mall on Harbour View Street in Central.
The vehicle drove for more than twenty minutes to the entrance of the central market.
Yan Ning got off the car and entered the mall, then walked for a few minutes to the western restaurant.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, the waiter came to greet her, "Excuse me, are you Miss Yan Ning?"
Yan Ning smiled and replied, "Yes."
The waiter said, "Miss Yan, Mr. Mu has arrived. Please follow me."
Yan Ning followed the waiter through the corridor outside the lobby, entered a revolving glass door, and came to a lobby with more upscale decorations.
Passing by one dining table after another, the waiter took Yan Ning to a seat by the window.
"You're here."
Mu Tingchen stood up when he saw Yan Ning coming over and pulled out the chair opposite for her.
"Thank you!" Yan Ning thanked him before sitting down.
Mu Tingchen pushed the menu on the table in front of Yan Ning and said, "See what you want to eat. This restaurant has some good mango-flavored desserts."
Yan Ning looked through the menu and ordered a single set meal and a mango cheesecake.
After ordering, Mu Tingchen returned the menu to the waiter and looked at Yan Ning and said:
"My grandmother and mother both liked the three pieces of jewelry you helped me choose last time.
This is the first time I send jewelry to my family. Thank you for helping me.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to give them such a satisfying gift.”
Yan Ning smiled, "It's just a small matter, I don't deserve your thanks."
She was just entertaining a wealthy customer from a merchant's perspective.
Mu Tingchen smiled and said, "My grandma didn't go to Grandpa Ning's birthday party, so she didn't see you.
This time, she was very happy to hear that you recommended the dragon stone jade jewelry to me.
My sisters like you very much too, and they said they would invite you to their home sometime."
"There will be a chance." Yan Ning responded vaguely, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
She felt too passive and didn't want to keep talking about topics related to herself.
Yan Ning put down the cup and asked, "Brother Mu, are you still in school or have you graduated?"
She remembered that Mu Tingchen was about twenty or twenty-one years old.
In this era, except for those who study abroad, most university students graduate at around the age of 20 or 21.
Mu Tingchen said, "I just graduated from university last year and now work in the family business."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "That's good. This can be considered as the inheritance of the family's mission."
Isn’t the mission of these second- and third-generation rich people to inherit the family business?
After chatting awkwardly for a while, Yan Ning really couldn't find a topic to talk about.
Fortunately, the waiter came to serve the food at this time.
After the dishes were served, the two began to eat.
Occasionally they would chat for a few words, and it was Mu Tingchen who was talking, and Yan Ning nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside them, interrupting the quiet atmosphere between the two.
"Tingchen? It's really you. I thought I was seeing things."
Yan Ning and Mu Tingchen turned their heads at the same time to look at the person who was speaking.
Pei Yuying stood beside him and looked at Mu Tingchen gently.
Yan Ning raised his eyebrows slightly. Oh, it turned out that Mu Tingchen’s peach blossom had come.
Mu Tingchen nodded slightly, "Yes, my friends and I are having dinner."
The implication is that you are disturbing us.
Pei Yuying seemed not to understand. She looked at Yan Ning calmly and said with a smile:
"This lady looks familiar. I remember seeing you at my grandfather's birthday party before.
So you are Tingchen's friend. Hello, my name is Pei Yuying. Can we get to know each other? "
Pei Yuying felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
She hadn't taken it seriously at the banquet before, but she didn't expect that this girl had such a good relationship with Tingchen, and they even made an appointment to have dinner together.
Her cousin is really useless. He can't even handle such a small thing.
Yan Ning said politely: "My name is Yan Ning."
Her grandfather? Pei? That must be the granddaughter of gambling king Pei Junhui.
Yan Ning had not forgotten the hostility hidden in Pei Yuying's eyes when she looked at him at the previous banquet.
And all this hostility was brought by a man named Mu Tingchen.
Alas! Pei Yuying had better not provoke her, otherwise...
Pei Yuying thought about it and realized that there seemed to be no family with the surname Yan in the upper class circles of Hong Kong City.
It seems that this girl named Yan Ning comes from a small family.
"No wonder I've never..."
Pei Yuying had just opened her mouth when Mu Tingchen suddenly interrupted her, "Ms. Pei, we are having dinner. You are disturbing us."
Pei Yuying's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and she said as if jokingly:
"Tingchen, we are friends, aren't we? And we have such a good relationship. You haven't treated me to a meal yet.
Since we met here today, why don't I go with you guys!"
Mu Tingchen looked at her with a calm expression, "Ms. Pei, let me explain, my mother and your mother have a good relationship.
We are just acquaintances, and I am currently discussing something with my friend, so it is not convenient for me to invite Miss Pei to dine with us."
Pei Yuying felt a pang of pain in her heart when she heard the words 'We are just acquaintances'.
She and Mu Tingchen have known each other since they were fifteen years old, and have known each other for six years so far.
She fell deeply in love with him from the first moment she saw him.
Later, she often went to the Mu family to please the elders of the Mu family and to establish a good relationship with his sister.
During their interactions, she was deeply fascinated by Mu Tingchen's gentlemanly demeanor, handsomeness, eloquent conversation, and youthful potential.
So she couldn't control herself and fell deeply in love with Mu Tingchen.
