Power and Wealth - 777. Chapter 777【Marriage Proposal!

That evening.

The sky is still half-lit, but the sun is also about to set.

Dong Xuebin checked the pair of pink diamonds again and again, carefully placed them in his arms, and quietly left the Central Party School compound.

There is a flower shop diagonally across the road.

Dong Xuebin took a look and walked into it quickly.

“Hello, sir.” A female clerk smiled: “Excuse me, what flowers?”

“Are there any roses?” Dong Xuebin glanced away, “Red roses.”

“Yes.” The female clerk pointed to the corner, “Are you giving it to your girlfriend? How many do you want?”

Dong Xuebin estimated the little money he had, “Well, nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers. Give me a bag. By the way, how much does it cost?” Dong Xuebin used to buy things without asking the price. , But now, buying a diamond ring has spent all of Dong Xuebin’s savings and borrowed a lot of foreign debts. At this moment, including some fractions taken out of the bank card, including the money in the wallet, it is only a little more than three thousand. , Dong Xuebin, who used to spend money without blinking, never imagined that he would have today, poor.

The female clerk replied: “We have a three-yuan coin here.”

“Three yuan? So expensive?” Dong Xuebin was depressed.

“This is the cheapest season for roses in our shop. For Valentine’s Day and winter, one will cost more than ten yuan.”

“No discount?”

“We can give you a basket for free.”

Dong Xuebin waved his hand, “Okay, get it for me.”

“Nine hundred and ninety-nine, right? Wait a moment, please.” The female clerk quickly packed him up and put all the roses in a large beautiful flower basket.

Dong Xuebin flipped through his wallet distressedly and paid 3,000 yuan.

The weight of nearly a thousand roses is still unclear. When he walked out of the flower shop with this big flower basket, Dong Xuebin could hardly see the road ahead, and strolled forward for a while, looking at the one in front of him. Dong Xuebin didn’t reach for the taxi that passed by, because he felt that the more than one hundred dollars in his wallet might not be enough to pay for the journey from here to Xie Huilan’s house, so he walked forward a little more. He wanted to smoke, but the cigarette was gone. Dong Xuebin walked to a small shop next to him. He was about to talk about a pack of Zhonghua, but when he reached his mouth, he swallowed it and looked at the cigarettes in the cigarette cabinet. Dong Xuebin only bought one. Dubao for three yuan.

I took two mouthfuls, coughing coughing, really choking.

Let’s make do, who makes the money not enough.

Dong Xuebin reached out to stop the taxi until he passed the road that was often jammed. When the car stopped at the door of Sister Xie’s house, counting the fuel surcharge, it was exactly 118. Dong Xuebin handed over the last 120 yuan on his body and retrieved the change. There were only two yuan in the wallet.

……Beijing Standing Committee Family House.

In front of Xie’s villa.

Dong Xuebin, who walked forward, hid the roses in an inconspicuous place in the garden, and then walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

Ding dong, ding dong.

The door opened, it was opened by Xie Hao, “Haha, the idol is here.”

Dong Xuebin smiled and said, “You kid don’t be old idols, can you?”

“Xiaobin is here?” Han Jing in the room greeted him with a deep smile: “Come in.”

Dong Xuebin hurriedly said with embarrassment: “Hello auntie, what? I’m a bit anxious, and I didn’t buy anything. I’ll make up for it next time.”

Han Jing pretended to be unhappy and said, “It’s the right thing to do if you don’t buy anything. Every time you come, you will have large and small packets. You can find fruit and nutrition at home. If you can’t finish it, you can throw it away. It’s a waste. This is the best. Don’t buy anything next time you come, otherwise Auntie won’t let you in, haha.”

Dong Xuebin was still embarrassed. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to buy, but he really didn’t have any money.

In the room, besides Xie Huilan, Xie Ran and Xie Jing were also there.

Xie Huilan smiled and glanced at him, “Let our family wait for you alone? Huh?”

“Traffic jam, traffic jam.” Dong Xuebin greeted Xie Jing and Xie Ran again.

At this time, Xie Guobang, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, walked slowly downstairs, and when he saw Dong Xuebin, he faintly smiled, “Xiao Dong is here?”

Dong Xuebin, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: “Hello, uncle.”

“Don’t be so cautious.” Xie Guobang pressed his hands, “Sit down, wash your hands for a while and prepare to eat.”

“Ai!”

“How did you learn from the party school?”

“Very good, it helped me a lot.”

“That’s good.” Xie Guobang nodded, “Charge more, it will be good for your future work…”

Xie Huilan smiled and interrupted: “Dad, you will become an official person at once, and let my Xiaobin not be restrained. With your appearance, can Xiaobin be unrestrained?”

Xie Guobang pointed to his daughter and shook his head with a smile, “This girl.”

Han Jing winked at her husband and said with a smile: “Look at your daughter, how tight is her man? This will make the female college go out and turn her elbow out.”

Xie Guobang and Xie Jing Xie Ran both laughed.

Xie Huilan said openly: “Ha ha, do I have one?”

Xie Hao exclaimed: “Yes! Too much! Sister, you are partial! When did you treat me so well!”

Xie Jing laughed and said: “I almost lost my memories when I was a child, but there are a few pictures that I remember very clearly, that is, our elder sister beat my brother and me on the ass fiercely.”

Xie Hao hummed and said, “She didn’t beat me less.”

Xie Ran smiled, “Sister is also good for us.”

“Look, Xiaoran said something fair.” Xie Huilan smiled: “Will you tell me the old account? Okay, then let’s just say, you, Xiaojing, when you were a kid…”

Xie Jing blushed, and hurriedly said, “Stop talking, don’t say anything! Can’t I make a mistake?”

“It’s fine if you know.” Xie Huilan turned her head and said: “And you, Xiaohao, when you were seven or eight years old…”

Xie Hao was anxious, “Damn! Where are we turning over the old accounts? It’s you turning over the old accounts!”

Everyone laughed.

Han Jing smiled and said: “This time is the fastest thing to pass. At the beginning, all of you were small. It seems to be yesterday. In a blink of an eye, they are all grown up. Your eldest sister will soon get married, think about it. Think, it’s still fun and cute when you were kids.”

Xie Hao yelled: “By the way, when will you get married?”

Xie Guobang suddenly said to his daughter: “I went to the old man’s place yesterday. The old man said, let’s do it this month. I will talk to your mother about the wedding.”

Dong Xuebin was excited, but Father Xie also agreed?

Xie Huilan smiled and looked at Dong Xuebin, “I said last time, some people have not shown sincerity to propose, how can I catch up to marry like this? Right?”

Xie Jing chuckled, “Brother Dong, my sister is beating you.”

Han Jing smiled and scolded: “Hui Lan, where is you talking like this!”

Suddenly, a piece of news on TV attracted everyone’s attention.

Only Xie Hao yelled, “Look, look!”

On the TV screen, the pair of pink diamonds appeared on the screen again, and the host said: “The Guardian Auction House has already auctioned this pair of pink diamond rings. The result was beyond the expectations of many people. The starting price was 80 million. , The final transaction price of the ring with an estimated value of 200 million yuan turned out to be 237 million yuan. If commissions and other fees are added, the final transaction price of this pair of rings is nearly 300 million yuan, which not only hit the domestic market. The highest transaction price of diamonds also broke the world record for diamond ring auctions. The most expensive diamond ring in the world is well-deserved!”

Xie Jing was surprised: “Nearly 300 million? So high?”

Xie Ran smiled bitterly: “The wealthy people in China are not much worse than those in foreign countries.”

“I’ll go, who bought it?” Xie Hao said: “The valuation has already exceeded the market value. Why is it half the valuation? Crazy, right?”

Xie Huilan and Han Jing also stared at the TV.

Just listened to the host’s voice, “As far as we know, this pair of sky-high pink diamonds was photographed by an unknown young man. The relevant people who participated in this auction told us that the mysterious youth is until the end of the auction. Only when I entered the venue, wearing sunglasses, and when the pink diamonds were bidding, the mysterious youth increased the price all the way, suppressing a lot of competitors and finally came out on top.”

Hearing this, Xie Jing was even more surprised, “A young man bought it? Such an exaggeration?”

Xie Ran thought for a while, “Maybe the parents gave me money to get married? Otherwise, I wouldn’t spend so much money on two rings.”

“I need to ask, I must get married.” Xie Hao hummed.

Xie Jing envied: “How big is the scene with this sky-high pink diamond proposal? If you change me, I will probably die of happiness, hehe, too romantic.”

“What’s the romance? Isn’t it just money.” Xie Hao was not convinced.

Xie Jing glanced at him, “What do you know, it’s not because the ring is expensive, but because the woman thinks that the man is willing to spend money on her and value her, so she feels romantic.”

Xie Hao muttered: “Women, it’s just too much trouble, what romance, can you eat it as a meal?”

Both Han Jing and Xie Huilan looked at Xie Hao.

Xie Hao was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Auntie, eldest sister, I didn’t mean you two, don’t check in.” Seeing that Xie Hao was about to arouse anger, he hurriedly changed the subject, “Sister, you want me to make Brother Dong How to propose marriage? Tell me, I will advise you on staff.”

Xie Huilan laughed and said: “Is it interesting? As if I begged, your eldest sister is not so thick-skinned, hehe, let him think for himself.”

Xie Hao, Xie Jingxin said that your cheeks are still not thick? Your family is the thickest-skinned you!

But when this topic had not yet started, Dong Xuebin suddenly stood up under the gaze of Han Jing and Xie Jing, and coughed, he walked up to Xie Huilan and solemnly said: “Hui Lan, some I want to tell you something.”

Xie Hao was taken aback, “I rely on, what’s the situation!”

“Hush, hush!” Xie Jing stopped Xiaohao immediately.

Han Jing and Xie Guobang glanced at each other, and both smiled.

Everyone can tell. Dong Xuebin seems to be asking for marriage. But looking around, Dong Xuebin is not prepared for anything, not even flowers. Is this also called a marriage proposal? Is this too casual?

Xie Huilan smiled and raised her head, “Oh? What’s the matter? Let’s talk.”
