Chapter 703: New Discovery of Anne
At that time, Chinese New Year's Day had just passed, and you could still feel the strong festive atmosphere when walking on the streets. Red lanterns symbolizing prosperity were hung outside every shop, and auspicious songs from celebrities in Hong Kong, southern Guangdong and other places were played.
"The festive atmosphere here is so good. I think it's even more lively than Christmas in the United States. I really like this kind of festival in China."
Jin Xiantai and Annie left the cafe, and they walked slowly side by side on the streets, passing through the bustling streets. Annie was very interested in everything in Yanjing, acting like a little girl.
Kim Hyun Tae is handsome and handsome, nearly 1.9 meters tall, while Anne is elegant and beautiful. She is not short at over 1.7 meters tall. Therefore, he and she instantly became a beautiful scenery on the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Both of them were wearing black British-style woolen coats. This very fitting outfit made them even more dazzling.
So many passers-by mistakenly thought that the two of them were models from that modeling company shopping.
Both Kim Hyun Tae and Annie were calm about the attention of people on the street, especially Annie who was very indifferent.
With a faint smile on his face, Jin Xiantai looked at Annie who looked like a little girl.
Although he looks like a 17-year-old boy, he has the soul of an old man who is almost 45 years old, so even 27-year-old Anne is really a 'little girl' in his opinion.
"New Year's Eve is only half a month away. For Chinese people, New Year's Day is the most important holiday of the year, so it's normal for you to feel a strong festive atmosphere."
Jin Xiantai walked with Annie on the street and chatted with her.
Originally, Annie planned to go to the movies, but after leaving the cafe, Annie changed her mind and said she wanted to go shopping on the street.
What else can Kim Hyun Tae say about this.
All he could do was stay with Anne as much as possible.
The two of them walked slowly westward along Usu Street. The quaint shops on both sides of the street attracted Anne very much. Every time they passed a store selling gadgets, Anne would drag Jin Xiantai in to take a look.
There are many Yanjing-style restaurants in the entire street, among which there are some shops selling antiques, paintings, and local trinkets, and Annie visited these shops.
Because she has been studying Chinese culture for more than a year, Anne now doesn’t know anything about Chinese things.
She also developed a strong interest in old Chinese objects and started collecting them.
Of course, with Anne's wealth, it's easy to play with collections.
It's just that she has no research on Chinese antiques, so some of the things she bought back in the United States are of little value.
After all, there are a lot of counterfeit goods in New York’s Chinatown, and Anne doesn’t understand them, so how could she not be deceived.
But even after being deceived, Anne's interest remained unabated.
Now that it was her first time in China, how could she not buy something she liked.
This time, Annie took a fancy to a piece of Hetian jade, and after asking about the price, she started a tug-of-war over the price with the boss.
The Hetian jade jewelry she was interested in was a baby collar inlaid with gold and jade, so she planned to buy three of them at once to give to her two babies and one to Coco.
The boss quoted 1.2 million yuan for one piece and 3.5 million yuan for three yuan with a discount of 100,000 yuan.
Perhaps knowing that you can negotiate prices when buying things in China, Annie started a 'fight' with the owner of this jade jewelry store.
It stands to reason that 3.5 million soft girl coins is only a little over 400,000 US dollars. Anne can definitely afford this price. You must know that she can sometimes eat tens of thousands of dollars for a meal.
So this little money is nothing to her.
But Anne seems to like bargaining, maybe this is a woman's nature.
In fact, it is not the key whether there is more money or less. The key thing is that Annie got a lot of fun in bargaining.
She has never worried about money since she was a child, and she never asks about the price when buying things. As for haggling, she has never done anything like this before.
But since she learned about Chinese culture and started hanging out in New York's Chinatown from time to time, Annie slowly learned the skill of bargaining and fell in love with it immediately.
Of course, most of the time in the United States, Annie still behaves the same as before, going out to eat, drink and buy things without asking or negotiating the price. After all, she needs to pay attention to her identity.
But as long as she has the opportunity and time, she will go to Chinatown to enjoy herself.
And as time went by, Anne found bargaining more and more fun.
Annie spoke Mandarin with a hint of Northeastern flavor and began to detail the flaws in the three pieces of Hetian jade inlaid with gold necklaces in front of her. Jin Xiantai found that the boss who spoke with a strong Beijing accent was blue in the face.
"What is this thing? Take a look, this piece of shit is still selling for 3.5 million yuan. Do you think my forehead has been squeezed, or do you think I am a big fool..."
"Girl, what I pay attention to when doing business is integrity. The Hetian jade I sell is genuine, and the quality is absolutely top-notch. It will never be as bad as you said. I didn't overquote the price of 3.5 million at all. "
"Don't fool me, 2.8 million. If you sincerely sell it, I will write a check, otherwise I will find another company."
The smell of Northeastern stubble in Annie's mouth made Jin Xiantai's eyelids jump all the time. God knows if the teacher who taught her Chinese was from Nagada in the Northeast, otherwise Annie would have such a strong smell of black soil when she opened her mouth.
What was especially eye-opening to Jin Xiantai was that Annie not only learned how to bargain, but even used the skill of "I will leave if the price is not met" very maturely.
To be honest, if it weren't for her blonde hair and blue eyes, people would really mistake her for being an out-and-out Chinese.
In the end, three pieces of Hetian jade inlaid with gold necklaces were sold for 2.8 million yuan.
Annie was satisfied again and felt that she had achieved a major victory. After writing out the check and handing it to the boss, she walked up to Jin Xiantai with a happy smile and started to show off the Hetian jade.
But Jin Xiantai felt that the winner was actually the boss who looked very painful.
Although the boss sold three pieces of jade jewelry for 2.8 million soft sister coins and looked like he had lost a lot of money, in fact, he was not sure how happy he was.
However, Jin Xiantai would not expose this matter. After all, both Anne and the boss were doing what they wanted.
Anne had fun and the boss made money.
Besides, Anne is not short of money.
So why do you need to expose it yourself?
As the saying goes, people cannot be dismantled if they are difficult.
At the same time, Jin Xiantai also realized that Annie seemed to be quite pitiful.
As a person with huge wealth, Anne can only find pleasure in bargaining, which shows how serious and boring her life is.
"These two pieces are for my babies, and this one is for Coco. I have read in books that for children in ancient China, their elders would give them jade or gold collars, but I think gold is too tacky. , Jade is quite good, not to mention it’s gold inlaid with jade.”
Seeing Annie so happy, Jin Xiantai didn't want to say anything to attack Annie, but Annie had bought something for her daughter Coco, so she had to buy it for herself.
It's just that Jin Xiantai didn't know what to buy for his two children who hadn't met yet.
The two left the jade jewelry shop and came to the street, and were greeted by Andrew and Nord who came from home.
Anne handed the bag containing Hetian jade to Old Nord, and then said to the old housekeeper: "Contact the American news media and tell them that I am getting married."
Hearing what his lady said, Old Nord was not surprised at all. After all, as a confidant, Old Nord knew the lady's thoughts very well.
He bowed slightly and responded, then glanced at Jin Xiantai who was standing next to Anne. Old Nord asked: "In addition to the news media, do you want to contact the venue for the wedding? I don't know, Miss, do you want to hold a Chinese-style wedding or a Western-style wedding? If it’s Western style, should I find a church?”
That's right, Old Nord felt that the scale of his young lady's marriage should not be small.
That's why he asked.
Jin Xiantai, who was standing next to Annie, blinked and was about to express his thoughts and opinions, but before he could speak, Annie stopped him.
Just listen to Anne saying to Old Nord: "Don't bother, just notify the media. The wedding is just a formality. I don't want it to be so big. I just need to invite some acquaintances and friends. We don't have to be like ordinary people." "
Obviously, Annie doesn't want to make the scene too big, she just wants to do it on a small scale.
My own lady has said so, so what can old Nord say?
Therefore, he could only respond again, remember Anne's words in his heart, and then act according to Anne's wishes.
Andrew was confused when he heard it. Obviously he didn't understand what was going on.
However, Andrew had a vague feeling that this matter was related to the young master Jin Xiantai.
Therefore, while Anne was explaining the matter to Old Nord, he asked Jin Xiantai in a low voice: "Master, who is Miss Anne going to marry?"
Jin Xiantai responded in a low voice, a little embarrassed: "I, Annie plan to have a formal marriage with me."
fake marriage?
Andrew understood immediately.
Before Andrew could ask questions, Jin Xiantai himself explained to Andrew the reasons why he agreed to a fake marriage with Anne.
When Andrew knew the cause and effect, a strange smile flashed on his face.
Speaking of which, Andrew knows best about whether Annie's two babies are the father of Kim Hyun Tae.
Moreover, he also felt that it was very suitable for Kim Hyun Tae to be with Anne.
Of course, if it was just a fake marriage, Andrew would feel a little worse.
But it doesn't matter. As long as Jin Xiantai fakes a marriage with Annie first, he will slowly create opportunities for Annie to break Jin Xiantae's spiritual defense.
No matter what, there is a nominal woman next to Jin Xiantai, and Andrew still likes it very much.
"Congratulations, young master. So what do you say to the young lady about this?"
After listening to Jin Xiantai's story, Andrew first congratulated Jin Xiantai, and then asked a very important question.
That's right, what does Coco say? (To be continued.)
