Chapter 071: Gifts
As soon as she heard Lin Guoliang say this, Lin Xinlei's mother said with some embarrassment: "You don't know your eldest brother's stubborn and stinky temper, whoever comes to the house to give gifts will only be driven away before the butt is hot, where did you get any cigarettes, alcohol and gifts...... If only there were gifts, unless the sun came out of the west. ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, patted her head and said: "Oh, you really have it when you say that, it's the gift that Xiao Jiang brought just now, I forgot to tell your eldest brother, it's outside the kitchen, you can use it if you want, just give the money to Jiang Feng." ”
Lin Guoliang shook his head with a smile and said, "Forget it, sister-in-law, you don't say anything, I'd better go to the supermarket and buy some." It's not that I look down on Jiang Feng, it's really that he can give a good gift as a student, but I went to see Deputy Director Xie, will Deputy Director Xie take a fancy to the gifts given by students? ”
Lin Guoliang made Lin Xinlei's mother's words cry and laugh, and Jiang Feng was also made to laugh bitterly by Lin Guoliang's words, what is the gift from the student will not be good? What is the gift given by a student that cannot reach the eye of a deputy department-level official?
The officials are for the happiness of the people and are the servants of the people, when did they become the three high-ranking people with high vision, high requirements and high taste? It wasn't until now that he discovered that the corruption of some officials was because of the mercenary businessmen, so that they always had a feeling of superiority, and naturally they could not be treated equally with the common people, and the sense of superiority was undoubtedly more formed.
The reason why officials are unscrupulous is largely because they are spoiled by the common people and the legal system. When you meet, you have to give gifts, and you have to give good gifts. Seeking officials to do things is to give generous gifts, and the exchange of gifts and gifts was originally a way for the people of the country to enhance their feelings with each other, but it has long become an excuse for corrupt officials to accept bribes, which cannot be said to be a kind of irony.
"How can you say that? I'm afraid that the gifts from students are more important than the friendship you bought! Guoliang, if you look down on Xiao Jiang, you look down on me! Lin Keqin glared at his brother angrily, and snorted coldly, "You don't just go to the street to buy it yourself, don't say such things to me!" ”
"It's not. Big brother, you misunderstood, how can I look down on Jiang Feng's little brother. Lin Guoliang hurriedly explained aggrievedly, "I'm just talking about things, Jiang Feng is a student after all, and his living conditions are difficult, I really don't look down on him......
Lin Xinlei's mother saw that the two brothers were about to have a quarrel again. hurriedly greeted them, then trotted outside the kitchen and handed the two boxes of gifts sent by Jiang Feng to Lin Guoliang, and glanced at him before saying, "Guoliang, since you don't look down on Xiao Jiang, why don't you take his gift and send it to Deputy Director Xie?" You can compensate Xiao Jiang according to the price at that time. I can't accept this gift anyway, Xiao Jiang has helped us so much. I'm a little embarrassed to accept a gift from him. ”
Lin Guoliang heard what this sister-in-law meant, in fact, she had already made it very clear that she couldn't accept this gift, because Jiang Feng was kind to his eldest brother, and now he wanted a gift. I took the purchase back and returned the money to Jiang Feng. Isn't that a two-way thing?
But isn't he the worst of the people in this way? This gift is not of enough grade to buy again, not to mention, you have to pay for these two gifts yourself, which is really lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, how can I not agree to it, so let's see what this gift is, according to the market price, I will ask Jiang Feng to buy it." Lin Guoliang sighed helplessly, at this time, he could only open it to see what gifts were inside, and purchased it at the market price.
Jiang Feng was not in a hurry at all, he was staring at Lin Guoliang unraveling the gift he gave to Lin Xinlei's family, he was really looking forward to it now, looking forward to what kind of colorful expression Lin Guoliang would have when he saw the true face of Lushan in this gift.
The two gift boxes are not large, and the contents are naturally not large. Lin Guoliang made a fuss for a long time, only took out a long strip of crimson wood carving box engraved with patterns from the gift box, and took out a very small square leather box, which looked like the light flow refracted by gold wires occasionally, which seemed luxurious and extravagant.
It's just that Lin Guoliang didn't see these details, after all, he had already denied these gifts in his heart. An ordinary student, no matter how good the university is, it is impossible to give any good things or gifts.
When Lin Guoliang opened the rectangular crimson wood carving box indifferently, he found that it contained a bottle of red wine, and the label was full of smooth English characters, and he couldn't help frowning: "This red wine manufacturer is also a little fake, I know that Chongyang is flattering, and I also make red wine in English, I sincerely want people to not understand it?" Xiaolei, come, can you help the third uncle see what is written in English? ”
"Third uncle, why are you doing this...... After all, this is a gift from someone. Lin Xinlei's face was flushed and she was very embarrassed. Indeed, dismantling the gifts sent by the guests in front of the guests, isn't this dismantling the guests' tables? This is very impolite. However, it seems that Lin Guoliang can't manage so much, in order to see Deputy Director Xie, he doesn't care about other people's feelings at all.
Jiang Feng is not seen, anyway, the gifts have been opened, isn't it too late to say anything now? A gift is a gift, and there is naturally no reason to give it back, so it is normal for others to take it out and study it. It's just that opening his gift in front of him does seem to be a bit too much. But Jiang Feng had already understood Lin Xinlei's mother's motives, so he didn't show his disgust on his face, but was silent and silent.
"This is ......" Lin Xinlei was helpless, and after casting an apologetic look at Jiang Feng, her beautiful eyes noticed the body of this bottle of red wine. Then, she was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "This...... This is Lafite from 1982! ”
"Pull ...... What phenanthrene? Xiaolei, you can make it clear, I don't understand. Lin Guoliang obviously does not seem to belong to the upper class society, and people who have no knowledge of Lafite are generally unlikely to have high taste and cultivation.
Lin Xinlei stared at the wine bottle in shock, her eyes were full of disbelief, as if she hadn't heard Lin Guoliang's question at all, and opened the small square box next to her in a panic. I saw a golden watch lying in the box, and the brand engraved on the watch suddenly made her cover her mouth in surprise, and exclaimed, "This ...... It's a Rolex watch! ”
"Rolex??" Lin Guoliang may not have much research on red wine, but he still knows some about internationally renowned watches. So when Lin Xinlei shouted out the Rolex brand, his face became a little surprised.
Lin Guoliang was shocked at first, but he quickly recovered, and smiled at Jiang Feng: "Xiao Jiang, how much did you buy this watch, don't say it, it's quite like a real watch." ”
"This watch is genuine, and there is a warranty certificate in the box, a certificate of authenticity. This watch is a mechanical watch for men from Rolex's Datejust collection 116238 which I bought for $30,000 when I was abroad. Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, I wanted to give my uncle a little gift, but since you are willing to spend money to buy it, uncle, I naturally don't mind." Oh yes, by the way, this bottle of 82-year-old Lafite is about to reach the right drinking year, so it has been very hot recently, and the price has risen by nearly 30% after I bought it, and it is estimated that there is no 20,000 yuan on the market that cannot be bought. I don't mind if Uncle wants to. ”
Jiang Feng's words suddenly made the eyes of everyone present widen. Although it was only two gifts, it was also very valuable. is the price of that Rolex watch, which is about 250,000 yuan. The bottle of red wine was slightly cheaper, but it was more than 20,000 yuan. The total is 270,000, even if Lin Guoliang is a businessman, but it costs 270,000 yuan just to buy two meeting gifts, as long as he is not a fool, it is impossible for him to be willing to pay this huge amount of money.
In fact, Jiang Feng had no intention of showing off. Originally, he brought these things from abroad and wanted to give them away as gifts. I happened to meet Lin Xinlei today, and he came to other people's homes as a guest and didn't bring a gift, so he took a bottle of Lafite and a Rolex watch.
Although fundamentally speaking, Jiang Feng doesn't like his super-rich identity to be exposed, he has always wanted others to look at him in strange eyes, and always makes him have a deep and insurmountable estrangement from others, so he is generally reluctant to show a very rich posture. So, although he is already the third richest person on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, few people associate him with that status.
But this does not mean that he has to endure being poor, and it does not mean that he can be despised casually. is blindly low-key, it is not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but becoming a real pig. Jiang Feng is not a psychopath, so naturally he will not let others despise him. Therefore, at this time, before Lin Xinlei could ask him, he had already taken the initiative to explain.
As soon as this short period of time passed, Lin Xinlei's family and relatives in the living room immediately had a look of admiration for Jiang Feng, and now I am afraid that no one will look at him from the perspective of just a student. Only Lin Wanqing, a person who knows Jiang Feng's details, can still remain calm, but the way she looks at Jiang Feng and her cousin is a little strange. Especially when she looked at Jiang Feng, there was a kind of resentment, and a strong sour taste.
Although she knows that Jiang Feng is a bit distracted, Lin Xinlei is also a cousin who grew up with her and has always taken good care of herself from childhood to college, but after all, feelings are inherently selfish, and Lin Wanqing still can't face such things calmly.
