Chapter 147: Coming to the Capital with Dad~
Comrade Zeng was dressed in a gray cadre uniform, his temples slightly gray, but he was in excellent spirits. He spoke with a Henan accent, "Mr. Fu, I've long heard of your name."
After a brief greeting, the two parties entered the reception room together. After the attentive waiter served them tea, he politely left. For a moment, they were the only ones left in the room.
This is the bosses' home turf. Fu Ziyan sat silently, carefully observing the teacup in her hand.
The blue and white porcelain hand-pressed cup with landscapes printed on it has a concise and vivid painting style, and the composition pays attention to artistic conception and layering, which also reflects humanistic feelings. It is a unique classical beauty of China.
very beautiful!
As Fu Ziyan sighed in her heart, she also heard the heavier breathing beside her.
The first sentence of their conversation was Fu Qiyuan's calm tone, "I purchased a set of new chemical fiber equipment and fertilizer equipment. It will be delivered in two days. I hope to do my best to serve the motherland."
Comrade Zeng couldn't stop smiling, "Mr. Fu, this is such a great gift! We need this right now. Thank you for your contribution to the country!"
"One has a country before one has a home, as it should be. The ship I arranged will be shipped from Tianjin, and Comrade Zeng will be asked to send someone to check it when it arrives."
"..."
Fu Ziyan was shocked. When did her father buy the equipment? These two sets of equipment should be expensive, at least 70 or 80 million US dollars. It was really a big deal!
Back at the Capital Hotel, Fu Ziyan couldn't help but ask her father.
Fu Qiyuan chuckled, "It's worth using this money to exchange for a red title. And it wasn't all paid by Dad, your grandfather also paid half."
"Didn't grandpa just divide the family property?" How come there is still so much money to buy equipment!
Seeing his daughter's confusion, Fu Qiyuan smiled and said, "This was set aside before the family property was divided. However, with your grandfather's money-making skills, he should be able to make quite a bit in the future."
Fu Ziyan’s heart was flooded with “666”, he is worthy of being her grandpa!
If you think about it this way, their family are all big shots, well, she can be considered the future big shot.
Fu Qiyuan handed the hot towel to his daughter and continued to teach her, "Family inheritance requires not only money, antiques, and stocks, but also reputation and connections. Some money must be spent. Ti Ti, have you seen the family tree? Our family has produced several imperial merchants for many generations."
"I understand, Dad."
"Now that you understand, take out your homework. Dad will help you finish it." Fu Qiyuan raised his lips and smiled.
"Dad, you're really ruining the mood! We were so happy today, why did you bring it up?" Fu Ziyan was very dissatisfied, with accusations written all over her face.
Fu Qiyuan said in a gentle tone, chuckling, "If Ti Ti doesn't want to, then Daddy will accompany you to the hotel to do your homework tomorrow. It's a choice between the two. Isn't it democratic?"
Fu Ziyan: ...
Now that you're in the capital, why don't you go out to play in broad daylight? Instead, you stay in the hotel to do your homework?
This is simply impossible!
So, it’s not an either/or choice at all!
Fu Ziyan angrily...bit her lip and compromised.
Fu Qiyuan sat on the sofa on the other side of the desk with a book in his hand, looking at his daughter who was sitting upright in a chair and carefully flipping through the textbook and doing homework with a gentle expression, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Because she had finished her homework the night before, Fu Ziyan was able to go out and play with her father the next day as she wished.
She was not in a hurry to visit the Li family. After all, today was a school day. Not all students could be as happy as her and go out to play. As a student, Li Zitao naturally had to go to school.
Although she worked hard on her homework until 9:30 last night, it did not prevent her from getting up early in the morning in a very good mood.
This is her first time to visit the capital with her father!
Fu Qiyuan was wearing a well-tailored black cashmere coat and a black Patek Philippe watch. He was elegant and low-key, with a graceful demeanor. Looking at his lively and bright daughter in front of him, he said gently, "Titi, where do you want to go first?"
"Friendship Store!" Fu Ziyan blurted out without hesitation.
Last time I came to the capital, I was worried about buying too much. This time I won’t do that. Dad is here, so it’s absolutely safe!
Fu Ziyan decided to spend as much as she could. Although she planned to donate the box of US dollars given by her grandfather to the county under Li Ziheng's jurisdiction, she also brought some US dollars with her. At the very least, her father would definitely not be short of money.
A child with a father is a treasure~
Seeing Fu Qiyuan nod in agreement, Meng Lijun, who had been assigned by his superiors to accompany Fu Qiyuan on a tour of the capital, immediately responded with a smile, "The Friendship Store in the capital has a wide variety of items, including many handicrafts, such as ivory carvings and cloisonné, which are perfect for buying back home as a collection."
Fu Ziyan nodded vigorously. She really liked collecting all kinds of things. When she came across these Chinese luxury goods, of course she would collect some of them. After all, the prices were not expensive.
After Meng Lijun said this, Fu Ziyan observed him carefully and found that he looked familiar. Thinking of the friend "Meng Limin" who had a similar name she had met before, Fu Ziyan asked curiously, "Comrade Meng, do you know Meng Limin?"
Meng Lijun curved his lips and smiled brightly, "That's my brother. A few months ago, I heard Limin mention that he met a new friend from Hong Kong. I think it must be Miss Fu."
Speaking of friends, Fu Ziyan said with a smile, "It's me. When Da Meng is free, I'll come and play with him!"
Meng Lijun shook his head. "That's not possible. He's in closed training at the military academy and probably won't be out until after the New Year."
Fu Ziyan said "ah" regretfully, and then talked about other things. Meng Lijun was worthy of being in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He handled Fu Ziyan's wild and imaginative topics with ease and made jokes frequently.
Fu Qiyuan sat quietly, looking at his daughter lovingly.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the Friendship Store.
Fu Ziyan felt like she had just gotten on the bus, but they had already arrived!
Upon seeing Comrade Meng and his large group of bodyguards, the guard at the store entrance immediately let them in. There was no "document check" as described in the period literature she had read before.
Fu Ziyan smiled secretly in her heart. It was such a grand occasion, and it was obvious that they were distinguished Chinese guests visiting the mainland. There was no need to check their documents.
The receptionists at the Friendship Store were very friendly, well-dressed, and smiling. Fu Ziyan had been there before, so she was familiar with the place. As soon as she entered, she skipped the food, tea, and wine shops on the first floor and headed straight for the arts and crafts section on the second floor.
Fu Qiyuan is very indulgent towards his daughter. Wherever Ti Ti goes to play, he follows her and lets his daughter do whatever she wants.
Meng Lijun was shocked. He didn't expect that the famous Mr. Fu would dote on his daughter so much and let Fu Ziyan decide how to play.
The receptionist in the handicraft section on the second floor was still the same one from last time. She still had a good impression of Fu Ziyan. After all, she was a pretty girl, and it had only been a few months. "Miss Fu, you're here again. We've got some new merchandise in the store lately. Would you like me to explain it to you?"
Fu Ziyan smiled and waved her hand to refuse, "I can just take a look myself!"
I didn’t buy too much last time, but this time I won’t hesitate to buy more and take them back as gifts for my friends.
Fu Ziyan swept down and saw white and delicate shell carvings with exquisite craftsmanship. Each one was only one dollar. Buy it!
This ivory carving would be very beautiful if strung together to make a wind chime. Thinking of this, Fu Ziyan caught a glimpse of a large box of various tourmaline gemstones. Although none of them were as good as her collection, they could be used when she occasionally had free time and was doing handicrafts. So, buy it!
Further to the right was a large expanse of cloisonné, filled with utensils, ornaments, decorative paintings, and even cloisonné jewelry. Fu Ziyan was overwhelmed by the sight, finding most of them beautiful and pleasing to her eye. In a flat voice, she pointed out the pieces to the receptionist earnestly, "This one, this one, this row, and that circle. Remember them?"
The receptionist wrote down the items one by one with a focused expression and nodded, "I've got it." He thought to himself, Miss Fu is really good at shopping. She pointed at more than twenty items at once.
Fu Ziyan nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. Except for these, pack up the others."
Wrap them all up?
The receptionist looked at the two containers in front of him and swallowed silently.
She still underestimated Miss Fu!
