    Next, Chu Chen talked about a few more tips for identifying whether it is a grade A product, and then said: "Actually, if a bracelet like yours is really grade A glass, you can't buy it for 800,000 yuan. With the current price  According to market conditions, the price of the raw materials is more than 800,000 yuan. If it is genuine, why is the other party selling it? " Everyone nodded. The businessman is not a philanthropist. How could he do something that benefits himself and others?  Even if it is an acquaintance, unless the other party wants something from you, it is already good without increasing the price. How can it be sold at a loss?  Not to mention Zhu Dafu and others, even Hou Ming understood this crude truth. She said with a sad face: "This is a birthday gift from my uncle. He must be greedy for cheap and suffered such a big loss.  " Having said this, she turned to Chu Chen and asked: "I seem to have heard that product B is also valuable. How much is product B+C worth? " Chu Chen explained: "Is this product B valuable?  It also depends on the degree to which it has been cleaned with strong acid. If there are only a few spots, it is okay, but if it is washed severely, it will not be worth much. This is because B-grade jade cannot withstand the test of time.  After a few years, the silica gel will oxidize and the jadeite will become unrecognizable, and your bracelet is the one that has been severely washed." After hearing what Chu Chen said, Hou Ming immediately became dejected. After a while, she angrily took off the bracelet.  Stuffed into her bag.  "Hmph! After I go back, I must ask my uncle to return it!" An Gongshi comforted her and said, "Okay, my uncle brought this bracelet back from Myanmar, and it has been almost two years. Returning it or something.  "Don't think about it." "What? Xiao Ming's uncle is also in the jade business?" Meng Yi asked after hearing this.  An Gongshi said with a smile: "He can buy goods B+C as goods A. Do you think he will be in the jade business? He is just in the timber business in Myanmar. Gambling on stones is a hobby of his."  In the past, he often boasted about his superb stone gambling skills, but now it seems that this guy is probably a dabbler. "I don't think he is a dabbler at all. He knows everything but knows nothing about it." Hou Ming was standing next to him!  muttered.  When An Gongshi heard what she said, he reprimanded: "You girl, he is your elder after all, and he also spent so much money to buy you gifts. How can you say that to him?" Hou Mingzai curled his lips,  Still seemed a little unconvinced.  Seeing this situation, An Gongshi could only shake his head secretly and sigh, this child is spoiled by his parents!  At this time, the guests began to take their seats. Although today was the old man's 90th birthday, not many people were invited. The old man's family and guests together filled three round tables.  These people are all relatives and friends of the old gentleman.  In addition, a senior official from the cultural department came to congratulate him. This person's surname was Qi. Chu Chen happened to know him. He was also from the Chu family.  During the Chinese New Year, I would also go to their home to pay New Year greetings.  When everyone was seated, the service staff began to serve the food.  Today's dishes are all farm dishes, and all the ingredients are basically produced by the farmers themselves.  It looks simple and unpretentious, but the fragrance is compelling.  It makes people salivate.  Next, after the service staff poured a glass of wine or a drink for each guest, the old lady stood up with a bright face and gave a simple speech, thanking everyone for taking the time to come despite their busy schedule.  When the old man finished his speech and sat down, someone immediately stood up and raised their wine glasses to wish him a happy birthday.  Seeing this, other people naturally stood up one after another and wished the old man a prosperous sun and moon, and a long and prosperous spring.  Immediately, the old man stood up again, expressed his gratitude to everyone with a smile, and drank a small glass of rice wine in one gulp, and then announced that the banquet had officially begun.  All of a sudden, everyone was drinking and drinking, and it was really lively. In addition, today's dishes were all made from fresh farm ingredients, and the chefs were very skilled. Everyone nodded and praised the food, even Hou, who had looked sad just now.  Ming, they all temporarily forgot their sorrow.  After three rounds of wine and five dishes, someone stood up and presented a gift that he had carefully prepared.  Although the old man had spoken before and asked everyone not to spend money, many of the guests who came brought out gifts worth hundreds of thousands, such as calligraphy and painting by famous artists, auspicious porcelain, jade, etc.  foot.  " However, everyone took the elder's feelings into account to some extent, and none of the congratulatory gifts were worth more than a million.  Speaking of which, our country is very particular about the exchange of favors. Although the old man received so many gifts and seemed to have made a fortune in a short time, in the final analysis, these favors still have to be repaid. This is also the way of human relations in our society.  After giving away the gifts, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the dinner was over.Except for a few of your relatives, everyone else politely said goodbye and left.  Just when Chu Chen and others were about to say goodbye and leave, the senior official named Qi took his driver and walked up to Chu Chen with a smile. The two parties greeted Chu Chen warmly and exchanged a few words before the other party took their leave.  .  Seeing this, the uninformed Meng Yixian and others were very surprised. Meng Yixian asked curiously: "Xiao Chu, do you know each other?" Chu Chen nodded and said: "It's not that he went to my house to pay homage to me during the Chinese New Year.  "So familiar." Everyone was even more surprised when they heard what Chu Chen said, because according to Chu Chen's statement, his family is at least higher in status than the person just now, and judging from the enthusiastic performance of the person just now, maybe Chu Chen's family  His status is much higher than that person, so whose family is Chu Chen a child of?  Seeing everyone guessing about Chu Chen's family background, Zhu Dafu smiled and said: "Don't guess, Xiao Chen's grandfather is Mr. Chu." "Old Zhu, you are talking aboutChu Zhengrong,  Mr. Chu?" Qiao Qingtai asked dumbfounded.  The expressions of the others were similar to Qiao Qingtai's. They knew that the status of Chu Chen's family should be very high, but to be as high as this was definitely beyond their imagination.  "Yes!" Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Besides, Xiao Chen likes to keep a low profile. From now on, you can just pretend that this is not the case." Chu Chen nodded and smiled, but he didn't  What to say? As the victim, it was hard for him to say anything in this regard, otherwise it would be a bit pretentious.  Although Zhu Dafu said this and Chu Chen was usually polite, everyone felt a little strange when they learned about this.  "Okay, it's getting late now, let's go back early!" Zhu Dafu said with a smile.  "Okay, let's go and talk to Mr. Ling" After saying goodbye to Chu Chen and others, An Gongshi saw the somewhat unhappy Hou Ming and said with a smile, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have brought you here today."  Hou Ming said angrily: "Even if you don't bring me here, a lie is still a lie, and it can't become true!" "You girl, you are so smart, you can't guess what I mean?" An Gongshi smiled.  Looking at her non-smilingly.  "Hmph!" Hou Ming muttered and said, "As the old saying goes, gentle ladies are very naughty, and vice versa. Brother Chu is so good, so what's wrong with me liking him?" "That's why I regret bringing you here!"  " An Gongshi said sincerely: "Xiao Ming, you have to know that it is difficult for a family like ours to marry into a wealthy family like the Chu family. And now, you don't even want to think about it. He is like this.  Family, there is only a small chance that the engagement will be broken off. What's more, Chu Chen also said that the relationship with his girlfriend is very good. Under normal circumstances, the possibility of changes between the two is basically zero. " Hou Ming.  Hearing this, he was silent for a while, then clenched his fists and shouted, "Why am I so unlucky today!" The next day, Chu Chen and others took a flight at around nine in the morning.  Flying to Beijing, when he got off the plane, Hu Yong was already waiting at the airport in a commercial car.  He directly took Meng Yi and others to the arranged hotel. Afterwards, Chu Chen accompanied everyone to have lunch, and immediately put the harvest in the store, arranged work matters, and sat down to do business.  Take the car and head to Wucheng.  Just like that, after waiting for a day, Chu Chen came back from Wucheng. Before taking a short rest, he came to the military hospital to visit Zuo Shan and Le Fang.  Chu Chen greeted them first, and then asked: "Brother Zuo, are you getting used to this time?" "Thank you, Mr. Chu, we have a good life here." The couple expressed their gratitude to Chu Chen  .  Later, Zuo Shan said with a sad expression: "However, the doctor also said that because the treatment was too late, it is very difficult to cure now." At this point, Zuo Shan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the treatment was difficult.  Big, let alone whether the treatment is good or not, the cost of treatment must be a lot of money. He is very worried that in Chu Chen's eyes, he is not worth the cost of treatment.  Youdao is a penny that can stump a heroic man. If that is the case, he will have nothing to do.  Chu Chen also understood the reason for Zuo Shan's worries. He said, "Let's talk about the treatment. I will discuss it with the attending doctor. As for the cost, I will be responsible for it. Don't think too much about it."  Zuo Shan was very excited when he heard what Chu Chen said.  Lefang, on the other hand, is both happy and a little sad. After all, an ant can still live an ignoble existence, let alone her who has a husband and son?  However, she was worried that Chu Chen would arrange dangerous things for her husband, and she felt a little worried for a while.There are some contradictions, but now, besides being able to count on Chu Chen, what can they do?  Afterwards, the two parties chatted for a few more words, and Chu Chen went to the doctor's office to learn about the situation.  Chu Chen is now well-known here. Therefore, Lefang's attending doctor did not look down upon Chu Chen because of his young age.  In addition, Chu Chen's reputation was not in vain. After Chu Chen expressed his opinion, the other party was amazed and sighed inwardly. He didn't know how Chu Chen's brain grew!  (To be continued)
