The next day.
Early in the morning.
In the party school dormitory, Dong Xuebin rolled over and got out of bed. The first thought in front of his eyes was not the pink diamond ring, but money. All he thought about was money. The reason is very simple. Just when the auction ended yesterday, Dong Xuebin found the person in charge of Guardian Auction and asked how much he needed to pay. As a result, the other party told Dong Xuebin that the figure was indeed beyond the budget, 287,000. One million, Dong Xuebin didn't have enough money at all. If he couldn't pay off the money within a week or two, the diamond ring he got would no longer be his, and he would have to pay liquidated damages.
Roommate Han Xinghua is still sleeping.
Dong Xuebin quickly brushed his teeth, washed up, and left the dormitory to make a phone call.
"Mom, I'm Xiaobin." Dong Xuebin said to the phone: "Are you at home?"
Za Xiaoping said yes, "Zhou wake up, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Dong Xuebin coughed, "Ahem, that's it. How much money do you have left?"
"Money? It's two million, right? It's the card you left for Mom last time. Mom didn't touch any of the money, she kept it all for you. What's wrong?"
"Then you can lend it to me."
"You have no money? Mom knows that if you are so lavish, you will have to finish it no matter how much money you have."
"Oh, I'm not blind. It's useful. Anyway, you can lend it to me and I'll return it to you in a while."
"Okay, then mom goes to the bank and will wire the money to you later."
"Thanks, Mom."
"By the way, is it enough? Mom still has some money here, maybe tens of thousands. If you have something urgent, Mom can ask Lao Yang to borrow it?"
"Oh, don't leave, don't leave. Why don't you ask Uncle Yang to borrow it? No need."
Although Dong Xuebin gave this money to his mother, Dong Xuebin still feels very embarrassed to come back now. He has no choice but to wait until he has passed this level. However, including the two million that my mother has, there is still some that is not enough, and there is still a shortfall of more than one million. It's obviously not possible to borrow it from Uncle Yang. No matter how thick-skinned Dong Xuebin is, he can't be open to it. , there is no way to speak at all, how about asking Aunt Xuan to join in? What's worse, all the money left by Aunt Xuan is for the children. You can't touch a penny. Can you ask Geng Yuehua to borrow it? Still not succeeding, Dong Xuebin felt that it was too much to use other people's money to buy Huilan a ring. Besides, Yuehua was only in her thirties and didn't have much savings.
By the way, let’s find Xu Yan!
Dong Xuebin doesn't care about being shameless at this time. He is very close to him and can be open. To borrow money without being too abrupt, the only person Dong Xuebin could think of was Sister Xu.
Beep beep, the phone call came through.
"Hello?" Xu Yan's sleepy voice floated out.
Dong Xuebin apologized: "Hey, Sister Xu, did it disturb your sleep? Blame me. Blame me."
"It's Xiao Dong.
"Yawning, Xu Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, my eldest sister is just about to get up. Is everything okay? "
Dong Xuebin cleared his throat unspeakably, "It's a bit, ahem, what, that's it..."
"Let me tell you if you have something to say. Since when did you get so dirty? Do you have anything else to say to your eldest sister? Are you causing trouble again?"
"Hey, no, I just want to borrow some money from you."
"You care about the elder sister borrowing money?" Xu Yanle said: "You kid just throws your hand and throws your head, you are driving a Mercedes Benz or a Cayenne, how can you still be short of money?"
"I'm short on money. I have something to do."
"Tell me how much you want."
"Fifty million, half a million is enough."
Xu Yan said without thinking: "Okay, I'll send your bank card number to my eldest sister's mobile phone later. I'll call you when she goes to work." "Sister Xu, thank you very much." "
"Okay, you're being polite."
"I will pay you back as soon as I have the money."
"Let's wait until you are rich. Sister, you don't need much money to live alone."
Dong Xuebin knew that for some businessmen, half a million might not even be a small amount, but for Sister Xu, a national cadre, it was definitely not a small amount. I respect Xu Yan, who is now the top leader of the National Security Bureau. For a senior leadership position, the monthly salary is not as high as Pi Si. Considering the environment in Fenzhou City, it may even be lower. Five hundred thousand may be all Xu Yan’s savings. Sister Xu can blink her eyes. Lend it to yourself without blinking. This weight is not unimportant. However, given the relationship between the two, there is no need to be so polite. Dong Xuebin said thank you and said nothing more, but secretly remembered it in his heart.
noon.
During the break, Dong Xuebin sneaked out of the party school and went to the bank.
Xun Xuebin scraped together the money from selling Cayenne, the balances from several other bank cards, and the salary cards over the years. Counting the money from his mother and Xu Yan, he finally managed to collect nearly 290 million. Ten million. So, Dong Xuebin immediately went to the auction company, paid all the balance besides the deposit, and got the ring!
In an office of the auction house.
Dong Xuebin opened it with excitement, and a coquettish pink luster suddenly exploded. The feeling of holding it in his hand was different from that of looking at it from a distance. It was full of strength, or not. It’s not about spending money, you really get what you pay for. After inspecting the goods, Dong Xuebin asked the staff to adjust the ring number, making the larger diamond ring smaller and the smaller carat ring larger.
The staff member asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
Dong Xuebin said: "OK."
"Then please wait a moment."
The diamond ring was mainly bought for Xie Huilan to propose. Of course, Sister Xie was very happy, so Dong Xuebin planned to wear the smaller carat pink diamond from the beginning and left the larger one to Sister Xie.
Half an hour later, the ring came out.
Dong Xuebin tried it and was very satisfied. He carefully packed it into the box and left the auction company.
The preparations are over, all that's left is how to propose.
Dong Xuebin immediately dialed Xie Huilan's number, "Huilan, have you eaten?"
"Zhou has eaten and is reading in the dormitory. Haha, where is your kid?"
"I've finished eating too. By the way, I have something to do with you tonight. Look..."
"After class that night, Sister Xie will be waiting for you in the backyard."
"No, we can't tell the party school about this. So what, you go home first in the evening and go back to your uncle and aunt. I may arrive later and we can talk after we meet."
"Huh? Why are you still so mysterious?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Just tell me if it's okay."
"Okay, haha, then thank you, sister, and your family are waiting for you. Last time, my dad had work on hand and kept it busy. It's just the right time for you to come over this time. Please call Xiaojing, Xiaoran, and the others later, as well as that kid Xiaohao. ”
"Okay, see you tonight."
Putting away the phone, Dong Xuebin's eyes were determined, and he stretched out towards the sky, proposing, he couldn't wait to put the ring on Huilan!
