Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 317 Mink Coats and the Latest Gucci Styles
"Are you stupid?"
Looking at her daughter with eyes slightly wide open, Mother Jiang deliberately took back the Gucci bag and said with a smile:
"But you are so sensible and know how to save money for mom, so I will, right?"
"Why!"
Xiaoguo couldn't bear to let go of such a good Bao Jiang. She immediately reached out to stop her mother and said with a smile:
"Mom, you said you look so noble, with the mink and the big sunglasses. If I don't carry a noble bag, how can I be worthy of being your daughter?"
As Jiang Xiaoguo spoke, she took the Gucci bag from her mother and held it in her arms, looking like she couldn't let it go. Seeing how much Jiang Xiaoguo liked the bag, Jiang's mother was also very happy and smiled from ear to ear. She accidentally saw the diamond ring on Jiang Xiaoguo's right ring finger and exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiao Guo, are you married or something? How come I don't know anything?"
Jiang Xiaoguo was still immersed in the joy of getting her first brand-name bag in her life, but was suddenly startled by her mother's sudden reaction.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Giving her daughter a blank look, Mother Jiang grabbed her right hand, pointed at the diamond ring on her ring finger and asked:
"What's with this diamond ring? Do you have a boyfriend?"
“Hmm~~”
Seeing that her mother had discovered her diamond ring, Jiang Xiaoguo held her Gucci bag, lowered her head and said shyly:
"We had only been dating for a short time when he proposed to me, but I didn't agree!"
"Why don't you agree?"
Looking at her shy daughter, Mother Jiang smiled and said with concern:
"What about my future son-in-law? Is he your classmate? Is he handsome?"
"It's OK, just so-so!"
Hearing her mother's concern about Yuan Xudong's situation, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but smile and said:
"His name is Yuan Xudong. He is a junior this year. He is about the same age as me and is also a student at South China University of Finance and Economics. However, he is in the Computer Science Department while I am in the Financial Management Department. I didn't agree to his proposal because I didn't want to get married so early!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at her daughter who was full of shame and pride, Mother Jiang said with a smile:
"Do you have a photo? Let mom see what he looks like and whether he is worthy of my daughter!"
"Yes, I'll find it for you!"
After searching through the photo album on her phone for a while, Jiang Xiaoguo found a photo of Yuan Xudong wearing a slim-fitting suit and showed it to her mother:
"Look at him, he's pretty handsome, isn't he?"
"Let me see!"
She took the phone and took a look. She saw Yuan Xudong in the photo. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and a well-tailored suit. He looked handsome and charming. Mother Jiang frowned and said,
"Why are you so handsome?"
Seeing her mother praising Yuan Xudong so much, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled secretly:
"Wouldn't it be better to be more handsome?"
"What's good?"
Mother Jiang rolled her eyes at her daughter and looked at the fair-skinned and handsome Yuan Xudong in the photo and said uncertainly:
"Xiao Guo, you said he is so handsome, why did he want you to be his girlfriend?"
"Mom, what do you mean by that?"
Seeing her mother say this about her, Jiang Xiaoguo, who was already a little unconfident in front of Liang Shuang's natural beauty, suddenly became very depressed and said:
"You mean to say that I'm ugly?"
"Look at you kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Giving Jiang Xiaoguo a blank look, Jiang's mother pointed at Yuan Xudong in the photo and explained:
"Mom didn't mean to say that you are ugly, but to praise my future son-in-law for being handsome. Look at that boy, his skin is white and his body is so good, just like the young man on TV. And then look at you, you are skinny, your skin is dark, and you look like a monkey. Mom is not worried that he is playing a joke on you, don't you think that's the truth?"
"What's the logic behind what you're saying?"
Seeing that her mother was still saying that she was ugly in a roundabout way, Jiang Xiaoguo hugged her arm and said coquettishly:
"Why am I acting like a monkey? Besides, Yuan Xudong really likes me, otherwise why would he propose to me and want me to marry him? My family is poor and powerless, what do you think he wants?"
"Yeah, what does he want from you?"
"What else can you want?"
Looking at his mother, Jiang Xiaoguo rested his head on her shoulder, blinked mischievously and said shyly:
"You just want me for who I am, you stinky man!"
"oops!"
Looking at her grown-up daughter, Mother Jiang couldn't help but pinch her nose and teased:
"How dare you say such shameless words? You are worthy of being my daughter. Well done!"
“That’s it!”
Seeing her mother smiling so happily, Jiang Xiaoguo hugged her and said happily:
"I am Jiang Xiaoguo from the Northeast, so I should have some confidence!"
"Yeah?"
Returning the phone to her daughter, Mother Jiang stroked her hair and said lovingly:
"How about this, I have to attend my colleague's daughter's wedding tomorrow morning. You bring him to the hotel to meet me tomorrow night, and we can have dinner together, okay?"
"Okay, I'll follow mom's instructions!"
Jiang Xiaoguo closed her eyes slightly, hugged her mother's arm, leaned against her, and whispered softly:
"Mom, you're going to stay in Shenzhen for two more days this time. Can I ask Yuan Xudong to take you out for a couple of days on the weekend?"
"Okay, Mom will help you take a good look at him. If he dares to treat our Guo'er badly, Mom will not agree no matter how handsome he is!"
"Well, thanks, mom!"
…
As night fell, after arranging for her mother to stay in a hotel near the school and chatting with her for most of the day about her relationship with Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to the school dormitory with a white, latest model Gucci bag slung over her shoulder.
After returning to the dormitory, seeing that Duan Jiabao and the others had not returned yet, Jiang Xiaoguo took a hot bath and changed into a clean and refreshing set of pajamas with Winnie the Pooh patterns. Then she sat at her desk, carefully wiping her Gucci bag with a napkin and rubbing it on her face twice. She was so happy that she muttered to herself:
"Gucci, Gucci..."
"I'm back!"
Duan Jiabao's loud voice rang out from outside the door . Jiang Xiaoguo rushed out with her Gucci bag and said with a smile:
"Dabao, my mom bought me a bag!"
“I bought a bag too!”
After taking a look at the latest Gucci model in Jiang Xiaoguo's hand, Duan Jiabao leaned sideways, showing off the latest Gucci bag he was carrying and said:
"Same thing, a high school classmate of mine is doing purchasing on behalf of others recently, and I bought it from her!"
“What a coincidence!”
Seeing that Duan Jiabao bought the same Gucci bag as herself, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but say happily:
"From now on, when we go shopping, we will be the Gucci sisters!"
"Very good!"
"Very good!"
"Let's take a photo together later!"
"good!"
After playing around for a while, Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao sat back at their desks. Jiang Xiaoguo looked outside the door, then looked at Duan Jiabao and whispered:
"By the way, Liang Zi didn't buy this bag too, did she? Doesn't she buy a new model every month?"
"Won't!"
Duan Jiabao rubbed his fingers and hinted:
"She's been a little nervous lately!"
"Oh, I see. Then she..."
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish her words, footsteps were heard outside the door. Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao quickly shut up and became quiet.
Liang Shuang walked into the dormitory and took a look at the latest Gucci bag held in Jiang Xiaoguo's arms. It was exactly the same as the one Yuan Xudong gave her. She couldn't help but frowned slightly and said sourly:
"It's a common style on the street, tacky!"
"you……"
Seeing Liang Shuang talking about her bag like this, Jiang Xiaoguo slightly widened her eyes, and she and Duan Jiabao looked at each other in bewilderment, then she looked at Liang Shuang and smiled:
"You're right to think it's tacky. It's a good thing we don't have to carry the same thing!"
As soon as the voice fell, Luo Yan's voice rang out from outside the door:
"I'm back!"
Seeing Luo Yan holding a cardboard box in her hand, Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao smiled and said:
“I’m back!”
"Shitou, what did you buy?"
“My mom bought it for me!”
"My mom also bought me a bag. Did your mom buy you a bag too?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo showing off her bag to Luo Yan, especially when she said that the bag was bought by her mother, Liang Shuang couldn't help but glance at her. She thought that Yuan Xudong bought the bag for Jiang Xiaoguo, but she didn't expect that it was bought by Jiang Xiaoguo's mother. On the other hand, after hearing Jiang Xiaoguo say that her mother bought her a bag, Luo Yan smiled and said:
"You guessed it right, my mother also bought me a bag!"
"Really? Show me what bag it is!"
"Graduate entrance examination real questions gift pack!"
Luo Yan took out a stack of information books from the cardboard box and said with a smile:
“Does it look good?”
"Look, Xiaoguo and I bought the exact same bag!"
“Alas~~”
Taking a look at the latest Gucci items that Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao were showing off, Luo Yan sighed:
"Why do other people's mothers send Gucci from thousands of miles away, but my mother sends a gift pack of real exam questions? We are in the same dormitory, but different motherly love!"
Just when Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan were chatting together, Liang Shuang took out an identical latest Gucci bag from the shopping bag and placed it on the table. Seeing Liang Shuang also bought an identical latest Gucci bag, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes and said:
"Liang Shuang, you bought this bag too? Didn't you say it's so common and tacky?"
“Who said I bought it?”
After looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang said proudly:
"Just like you, someone else gave it to me!"
"This is really the same person with different fates. I used to buy new models myself, but now someone gives them to me. It's amazing that I look beautiful!"
“It’s just amazing!”
Looking at the citric-sour Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang patted his face lightly and smiled:
"Why, are you jealous of my beauty, or jealous of someone giving me a bag?"
"Who, who is jealous?"
Seeing Liang Shuang bragging about how pretty she is and how someone gave her Gucci, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but get angry and said:
"Only stinky men like your pretty face. You'd better be careful. Don't let others sell you out and help them count the money!"
"I do!"
Glancing at Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang deliberately provoked her:
"Just take good care of your Yuan Xudong. Be careful that he might abandon you and run away one day!"
"you……"
"Alright, alright, stop talking!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo was arguing with Liang Shuang again, and the key point was that Liang Shuang always got the upper hand, Duan Jiabao quickly ran out to smooth things over:
"It's almost half past ten. Turn off the lights and go to bed. You have to get up early to go to work tomorrow!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
…
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang, and Luo Yan got up early, washed up, and went about their own business.
Duan Jiabao went to work at the agency with her newly bought Gucci bag on her back. Her colleagues sitting next to her laughed and said:
"Duan Jiabao, is this the latest model of Gucci?"
"Really? I bought it because I thought it was quite portable !"
"He has a mine at home, so he can wear Gucci when he goes to college!"
"Some people do internships to make a living, but we do it to survive!"
…
Seeing his colleagues talking sourly, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but put the Gucci that was originally on the table under the table. On the other side, Jiang Xiaoguo called Yuan Xudong and asked him to drive her to work at Pulin Capital . By the way, she mentioned that she wanted to have dinner with her mother in the evening. Yuan Xudong agreed readily. After sending her to the downstairs of Fortune Building where Pulin Capital was located, he went to Raffles Plaza to buy some reasonably priced gifts for Jiang Xiaoguo's mother as a gift for their first meeting.
Carrying a Gucci bag, she walked into the company. She originally wanted to share her happiness with Wendy, but Wendy had to take a leave of absence. Jiang Xiaoguo could only walk into the investment department's office with some regret and sit down at her seat. After a while, she saw Zhao Tingnan walking in with a bag on her back. Jiang Xiaoguo took the initiative to greet her:
"morning!"
"morning!"
"Hey, you make a great bag!"
“Thank you, I think it looks pretty good too!”
After saying that, Zhao Tingnan walked towards her seat. After watching her leave, Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at her bag on the table. It was in such a conspicuous place, didn’t she see it?
Feeling a little disappointed that no one noticed that she had changed to a new bag, Jiang Xiaoguo took out her phone and took two selfies, preparing to post them on her Weibo and Moments. At this moment, Yang Xiaorong walked in and saw Jiang Xiaoguo taking pictures with a Gucci bag. She couldn't help but smile and walked over and said with a smile:
“I bought a new bag, it’s pretty nice!”
"Sister Xiaorong, you are so careful, but you discovered this!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, who had the heart of a little girl, Yang Xiaorong smiled and said:
"But you really should buy yourself a bag and treat yourself!"
"ah?"
"Because you are the first intern in the company to pass the plan, President Zhou has agreed to let me take you to the Mosaic project. We will go to negotiate with President Lei at 4 pm on Friday!"
"real?"
"Well, this project has received a good response in the industry, so many funds are eyeing it. We must hurry up and do due diligence!"
"Okay, Sister Xiaorong, don't worry, I will do my best!"
“Yeah, come on!”
"come on!"
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Yang Xiaorong and asked:
"Sister Xiaorong, if this project is successful, will the interns also receive a large bonus?"
"Of course, as long as you work hard, your efforts will be rewarded. Any other questions?"
"No more, thank you!"
"Then I'll be leaving first. Remember to do your best. Bye!"
"Sister Xiaorong, bye!"
…
After receiving the business plan, Jiang Xiaoguo went out to do due diligence and went to the guesthouse where his mother lived. In the simple room, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at his mother and smiled:
"Mom, the conditions in this guesthouse are limited. I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position!"
"What's wrong with you?"
Mother Jiang stood in front of the floor-length mirror and looked around and said:
"Xiaoguo, bring that mink to me and put it on the rack!"
"ah?"
Hearing that her mother was wearing a mink coat in such hot weather, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes and said in surprise:
"It's so hot, aren't you afraid of getting a heat stroke?"
"Don't worry about it, hurry up, I brought this high-end thing with me from the Northeast!"
"Mom, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
"Why are you exaggerating? You can't lose face by attending a wedding, right?"
"You are attending your colleague's daughter's wedding, not your daughter's wedding, why are you dressed so excitedly?"
After putting the mink coat on her mother, Jiang Xiaoguo gave her a small electric fan and said with a smile:
"I'll give you a fan, be careful of heat stroke!"
"Are you excited already?"
Mother Jiang fanned herself with a small fan and said with a smile:
"Do you still remember Aunt Sun Lifen?"
"The Auntie Sun who's competing with you for the most beautiful girl in the factory?"
"Yes, that's her!"
After putting on her mink coat, Mother Jiang put on her big sunglasses and said:
"She also came to Shenzhen to attend the wedding. I didn't lose to her 20 years ago, and I can't let her win 20 years later. I'm leaving to attend the wedding!"
"Mom, I'll take you there!"
When he walked out of the guesthouse, he saw his mother dressed in a mess. Passersby looked at her strangely. Jiang Xiaoguo felt embarrassed to follow her.
"Mom, are you hot?"
"You silly child, how can mom not be hot in such hot weather?"
