The thing I want to do most now is to do all kinds of things with you, whether it's climbing mountains or going to sea together, it doesn't matter what I do, what matters is that we are together.
In the morning, when I woke up, I looked haggard, with two big dark circles under my eyes, obviously I didn't sleep well. Wu Julan must have guessed the reason for my insomnia and didn't ask anything.
I said to Wu Julan: "A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a biscuit. Neither the coral stone of snailed jade nor the fossil of nautilus is what grandpa likes, and it is useless for me to keep it in my hands. I want to sell them."
"To whom"
I blinked my eyes, unable to answer. This kind of thing can't be brought to the market, let's sell it
"You contact Wu Jingjing and let her handle this for you."
That's right, Wu Jingjing talks about the quality and market price well, so there must be someone she knows.
I asked Jiang Yisheng for Wu Jingjing's phone number and called Wu Jingjing.
After hearing what I said, Wu Jingjing agreed, "I will help you contact a friend to deal with this matter today. After get off work, I will come to you and ask Brother Ang to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and I will have a meal by the way."
When Wu Jingjing said "dinner", her voice was particularly cheerful. I was a little baffled that she liked Wu Julan's cooking so much.
In the evening, Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing came together.
When Wu Jingjing saw the dishes on the table, she laughed so hard that she could hardly find her eyes. She said to me: "I never thought that I could eat such delicious food in my lifetime." After speaking, before anyone else could pick up the chopsticks, she began to bury her head in the food regardless of her image.
I think Jiang Yisheng, in order to catch up with the Witch Queen, should he learn how to cook well
Jiang Yisheng asked: "Where are Datou and Zhou not talking?"
"I left the island this morning." Zhou Buwen told me in a WeChat message without even making a phone call.
Jiang Yisheng was silent for a moment, and began to eat without saying a word. Jiang Yisheng has the highest IQ among the three of us. He can naturally think of anything I can think of. He is afraid that his father was injured. He also has doubts. It's just that, before there is conclusive evidence, both of us have a bit of an ostrich mentality, and we don't want to talk about it, and we don't want to face it.
After the meal, the four sat around the table, Wu Jingjing said: "I have contacted the auction house I know, they will help us hold a small auction, and transfer these two items to people who like them at a fair price The auction will be held in New York, Xiao Luo, you need to go to New York."
"Ah, must it be? I don't need all the auction items to appear when I watch the auction on TV."
Wu Jingjing said: "You don't need to stand there to sell your products, but there are many documents that must be signed by you yourself. New York is a very worthwhile place to visit, you should take it as a tourist. I grew up in New York, I am very familiar with the place, and I will always be with you, or let Jiang Yisheng go with me."
I looked at Wu Julan hesitantly, not because I was afraid of traveling far away, but because Wu Julan was a "black householder" and couldn't do international travel at all, so I didn't want to be separated from him.
Wu Julan said: "Don't worry, we will meet again soon."
I thought about it, and I can go one day, go back one day, and spend another day or two on errands. I should be able to go home in four or five days, and indeed I will meet again soon.
Seeing that I have no problem, Wu Jingjing asked Jiang Yisheng with a smile, "Do you want to accompany us to New York?"
Jiang Yisheng said indifferently: "Okay, at least I can help you with your luggage."
Wu Jingjing said: "Give me your documents and information, and I will arrange everything properly. Don't worry, you will have a wonderful journey."
I always feel that the Witch Queen's smile seems to have successfully seduced Little Red Riding Hood's wolf grandma's smile, which makes people feel a little shivering, but we are just going to sell things, there should be no problem, right? If the Witch Queen wants to rob money, there is no need for us to go to New York ;If she wants to rob sex, the unlucky one is Jiang Yisheng
Under Wu Jingjing's intensive arrangement, Jiang Yisheng and I successfully obtained the visa and other relevant documents after more than two weeks.
Wu Jingjing asked me when I was going to leave, and I said the sooner the better, there was a week before the full moon, and I had to come back before then.
Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing and I left the island by boat, and Wu Julan went to see us off at the pier.
I was full of worries and worries, and I called Wu Julan over and over again. I wrote a long list of phone numbers, all of which were the iron relations between me and Jiang Yisheng: doctors, policemen, supermarket owners, and clothing store owners covered all aspects of life. If you have any problems, you can find a friend to help you with just one phone call.
In view of the fact that both of our mobile phones broke as soon as they fell into the sea last time, I specially ordered two waterproof mobile phone bags from Taobao, one for Wu Julan and one for each of us. Ask Wu Julan to bring his mobile phone with him at all times, and call me whenever he has something to do, regardless of the jet lag.
Standing in front of Wu Julan, I chatted endlessly about eating, dressing, safety on the island, typhoon season, bank cards, and the cash I should bring. , only to find all kinds of worries.
The departure whistle sounded, urging the guests who hadn't boarded the ship to hurry up and get on the ship. Reluctantly, I stepped back and got on the boat.
After the boat sailed, I stood on the deck until I could no longer see Wu Julan's figure, then I looked back. My mood was a bit dull, not only because of the sadness of parting, but also because I felt that I was very reluctant to part with Wu Julan, but Wu Julan didn't seem to care so much about my leaving.
Wu Jingjing probably saw my unhappiness, and said to Jiang Yisheng in an exaggerated tone: "Just now, I saw the funniest joke in my life."
Jiang Yisheng asked cooperatively: "What joke?"
Wu Jingjing said: "A goldfish that grows in a fish tank greets a shark that lives in the ocean, worrying that he will encounter danger in the fish tank. If you say it's funny or not, I'm getting goosebumps."
I was startled, stared at Wu Jingjing and asked, "Why do you say Wu Julan is a shark living in the ocean?"
Wu Jingjing smiled and said, "It's just a feeling. Brother Ang looks like a very powerful person. He should have experienced many storms. You, at first glance, look like a little goldfish living in a fish tank."
I breathed a sigh of relief and told myself it was just a metaphor, don't be too nervous and make random associations.
After disembarking, we drove to the airport.
After boarding the plane, Jiang Yisheng and I discovered that it was first class.
So extravagant, Jiang Yisheng and I both looked at Wu Jingjing.
Wu Jingjing said: "Don't worry, the boss paid the money, and he asked to make the two guests who are away from afar comfortable and happy."
"boss"
"It's the owner of the company that sells things for Xiao Luo. He is also very interested in the two items and should bid for them."
Jiang Yisheng asked: "Why do you call him the boss?"
Wu Jingjing shrugged and said, "Our family has always worked for their family, and I will continue to work for him. What should I call my boss?"
I asked in surprise, "Aren't you a doctor?"
Wu Jingjing said indifferently, "That's a part-time job, right?"
Jiang Yisheng and I looked at each other, and Wu Jingjing smiled and said, "When we get to New York, you will understand."
Jiang Yisheng and I looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
During the ten-hour journey, Jiang Yisheng had a beautiful woman by his side, talking and laughing all the way, which was very pleasant. However, I have been depressed because of Wu Julan's "light parting".
The plane landed at JFK Airport in New York, and I didn't feel the slightest excitement when I saw the exotic scenery.
The driver who came to pick us up at the airport wore a neat black uniform and drove a stretched Bentley. When Jiang Yisheng saw it, he couldn't help but whistled.
I asked: "Who pays?"
Wu Jingjing said: "It's the same as our first-class air ticket, the boss pays."
I muttered: "The wool comes from sheep, and the money he spends must be earned back from me, but I don't want to pay for it myself, so I always feel more comfortable."
Wu Jingjing poured a glass of champagne for each of us, "Congratulations on our safe arrival in New York."
I took a sip of champagne, looked at the neon lights and the busy traffic outside the car window, and suddenly began to have a real feeling. I arrived in New York where Wu Julan used to live
It's obviously a completely unfamiliar city, but because I fell in love with someone, even the feeling of a city has completely changed.
It's a pity that modern society is not like a hundred years ago, when you can travel from one continent to another with just one ticket.
Another continent, otherwise I really want to visit this city with Wu Julan.
I suddenly asked: "New York in 1880s should be very different from what it is now."
Wu Jingjing said: "It's very different. However, this is a country with almost no history, so it pays special attention to preserving history. Many buildings from that era have survived to this day. If you are interested, I can take you to see it."
Jiang Yisheng asked strangely: "Little Luo, why are you interested in New York at that time?"
I took a sip of champagne in a concealed manner, "Ask casually."
The driver drove past a place with dense shade and lush grass. Many trees should be hundreds of years old, with thick trunks and gorgeous crowns. In a city full of high-rise buildings, such a place full of birdsong and flowers suddenly appeared, and Jiang Yisheng and I couldn't help looking at it curiously.
Wu Jingjing introduced: "The famous Central Park. It was established in 1857. It was the first landscape park in the United States. Back then, the land around here was not worth much. Now," Wu Jingjing frowned, exhaling from her nose, "except Government and institutional buildings, and only the world's richest people can have condos overlooking Central Park."
The driver parked the car in front of an apartment building, and Wu Jingjing said, "We're here."
I looked at Central Park, which was just across the street, and exchanged glances with Jiang Yisheng.
As soon as we got out of the car, someone came to help us with our luggage. The doorman in the red uniform should know Wu Jingjing, greeted her politely, and opened the door.
Wu Jingjing took us into the elevator. The person who drove the elevator was a gray-haired, hale and hearty black old man. When he saw Wu Jingjing, he greeted Wu Jingjing warmly and pressed the "penthe" elevator button representing the top floor. One of only two buttons in the elevator, the other being "lobby" for the lobby.
Wu Jingjing said: "This apartment building is the property of the boss, and my grandmother has been taking care of it. The other floors are rented out, and the top floor is reserved for the boss to live in occasionally."
Jiang Yisheng sighed and said: "Your boss is really good at making money."
Wu Jingjing couldn't help but sneered, "He doesn't worry about it if he makes money well. The boss just bought it early in a daze. Central Park was built in 1857, and the boss's family bought the land here in 1852. At that time This area is just a piece of wasteland.” She frowned and said resentfully: “When you go to Europe in the future, it will shock me even more to see what the boss has bought in Paris, London, Copenhagen, Rome, and the Vatican. When you tell people they buy junk that no one wants, no one believes it at all.”
When the elevator arrived, Wu Jingjing stepped out of the elevator and stood in a luxuriously furnished corridor, with wool carpets on the floor, oil paintings on the walls, and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. She walked to the gate, entered a string of codes on the electronic lock, and the door opened.
Wu Jingjing walked in and said, "In order to make it easier for you to enter and exit, I have asked someone to set the password to Xiaoluo's birthday, which is a lunar calendar birthday."
I hurriedly said: "Don't bother, we just stay for two days and leave soon."
Wu Jingjing said: "It's all changed, why don't we change it back?"
All I can say is, "Thank you and your boss."
Wu Jingjing said indifferently, "Let's go, I'll show you around the house."
We walked along the porch and walked into the living room, and at a glance we saw the large floor-to-ceiling windows that almost occupied an entire wall. Outside the window is the blue sky, white clouds, lush forests, clear and beautiful lakes, and there are even several black eagles circling in the sky.
I was amazed that I could see a wild forest-like scenery in a reinforced concrete city. No wonder the houses around Central Park are expensive.
Wu Jingjing said, "Jiang Yisheng and I live in the guest room downstairs, and Xiao Luo lives in the master room upstairs."
The house is so tall that it could be made into upper and lower floors, but the owner didn’t cherish the land at all. The upper floor was only half built, and the rest of the place was left blank, so that the ceiling of the living room and dining room was five or six meters high. , it seems that the house is big and deep, just like a small castle.
With a curiosity about the life of the rich, I first visited the first floor with Jiang Yisheng, and then went to the second floor. We found that this house looks like a "castle", and there are very few houses that can actually live in it. In addition to the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor, there are only two bedrooms, and there is only one large bedroom on the second floor. The other areas are: a reading area like a small library, an activity area with chairs and astronomical telescopes, sofas and Coffee table in the reception area. These areas have no real walls or doors, but are spaced apart by some clever placement, overlooking the downstairs living and dining room. The sofa in the reception area faces the huge floor-to-ceiling windows across the sky above the living room. You can enjoy the scenery outside while chatting.
I said to Wu Jingjing: "Your boss obviously regards this house as his own private territory. Except for the bedroom, there are no doors or walls in other places. It is obvious that he does not intend to invite strangers to live in. How could he give the house to you?" where we live"
Wu Jingjing smiled and said, "Empty is also empty, let us live here, and you can save the hotel fee."
I said: "Although my two items are worth a little money, they are definitely not rare and rare. They can be sold for several million yuan at most. I always feel that the standard of reception is too high."
Wu Jingjing patted my shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, you will understand soon."
I can only settle down and wait for the development of things. I said, "Do whatever else you want, but I will stay for two days at most, which means I must return to China the day after tomorrow. Wu Julan is still waiting for me at home."
Wu Jingjing said: "The boss wants to treat you to dinner tonight, you can tell the boss directly."
I yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, I don't want to eat, I just want to sleep." Calculating the time, this time is four or five in the morning in China, when the dream is in full swing.
Wu Jingjing said: "Take a bath, don't sleep, and stick to it until night, otherwise the jet lag will not be over."
I went into the bathroom, ready to take a shower, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the shampoo and body wash were from my usual brand. It's just a small detail, but it makes me feel very considerate and thoughtful, and I feel a little better.
After taking a hot bath, my drowsiness and exhaustion were washed away. I sat on the edge of the bed, drying my hair, and casually looking at the layout of the bedroom.
A few beautifully colored conch shells were placed on the head of the bed and on the shelf for decoration, which gave me a sense of intimacy for no reason. I thought to myself, this rich man should like the sea very much, no wonder he would want to buy my two stones.
After blowing my hair, I stood in front of the French window of the master bedroom, overlooking the Central Park, and sent a WeChat message to Wu Julan: "I have arrived in New York safely. If you have something to miss, I can go, and I took a picture for you to see." .”
There was no reply on WeChat, probably because I haven't woken up yet, so I put my phone away.
Wu Jingjing knocked on the door and said, "We're going out for dinner."
"It will be fine soon."
Anyway, what the other party valued was my things, not my image. I was dressed very casually, with smoke gray small-cut jeans on the lower body, a straight-leg long-sleeved floral shirt on the upper body, and a camel knitting sweater cardigan jacket in my hand. I went outside can be put on when.
Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng obviously had carefully selected their clothes, one was wearing a small violet dress and a cashmere coat; the other was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and crisp trousers. When I went down, they were standing together, whispering, very eye-catching.
I said, "I feel like I'm your light bulb."
Wu Jingjing just smiled, Jiang Yisheng ignored my joke, picked up the trench coat and said, "Let's go."
Wu Jingjing said that the place to eat was not far away, it was nearby, and the three of them walked there.
I deliberately walked behind, letting Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing walk in front.
The streets of foreign countries, the endless stream of pedestrians, English with various accents, and a pair of "lovers" who are developing like a golden boy and a jade girl, I became very missing someone, and couldn't help but took out my phone again.
Just at a red light, Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng crossed the street and continued walking, but I was left on the side of the street. I didn't care too much, while looking at the photos on my phone and waiting for the red light, I thought about sneaking out at dinner later and calling Wu Julan.
When the red light turned green and I looked up, I found that Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng were no longer in sight. I didn't dare to play with my phone anymore, so I put it back on and hurried forward, walking three intersections, but I didn't see them. I walked back and searched the neighborhood several times, but I still couldn't find Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing.
Fortunately, it was still early and there was a constant flow of people on the street, which made me not so nervous, but this is a foreign country after all, and my English is very average, so I still feel flustered. I took out my mobile phone and called Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing. Neither of them could get through on their mobile phones. I don't know if it was a signal problem or my international roaming was not activated at all.
I thought about it and decided to go back the same way. As long as I find an apartment to live in, I won't lose myself.
