Chapter 2283: Two major taboos

~8 min read 1,463 words

In this world, the person who knows Chen Zhaozhong's ability best is Liu Jiahui.

If it weren't for Fang Jiaxin, he would definitely try every means to keep Chen Zhaozhong by his side and let him act as his advisor.

It's a pity that heroes have a hard time passing the beauty pass. Back then, neither of them took a step back, which eventually became enemies for twenty years.

Now that Liu Jiahui has let go of the past grudges, he also hopes from the perspective of an old friend that Chen Zhaozhong can find back his true value.

And he also feels that his temple can no longer hold the Buddha of Chen Zhaozhong. Only by staying beside Ye Chen can Chen Zhaozhong maximize his value.

He can also see that Ye Chen must have seen Chen Zhaozhong's value, so he would spare no effort to invest so much energy for him.

So, on the one hand, he is affirming Chen Zhaozhong's strength, and on the other hand, he is also speaking out what Ye Chen thinks in his heart.

Although Chen Zhaozhong has long looked down on everything, hearing Liu Jiahui's affirmation and expectation of him, he is somewhat encouraged.

Immediately, he looked at Ye Chen and solemnly stated: "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I will definitely serve you with all my heart and die for you in the future!"

Ye Chen said seriously: "Zhong Shu, by comparison, I hope you can find back your own value and prove your strength to everyone."

Chen Zhaozhong hugged his fist and said gratefully: "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I will definitely!"

Seeing Chen Zhaozhong reignite his fighting spirit, Ye Chen felt even more gratified and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about. Zhong Shu, take good care of your family these days. I will return to the United States tonight. I will contact you before I return to China. Let's see you in Jin Ling then."

Chen Zhaozhong nodded lightly and said: "Young Master Ye, I am waiting for your dispatch at any time!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Zhong Shu, I have a count in my heart."

After lunch, Chen Zhaozhong's family was busy tidying up their new home, while Liu Jiahui and Fang Jiaxin insisted on staying to help.

Liu Manqiong had to go to school in the afternoon, so she quietly urged Ye Chen before leaving, asking him to take off after seven o'clock in the evening according to the original plan, and never advance the takeoff time. She would go directly to the airport to see him off.

Ye Chen naturally agreed. After watching Liu Manqiong drive away, he planned to go to the city center of Hong Kong to stroll around and buy some gifts for his wife Xiao Xiao Churan and his mother-in-law Ma Lan.

Every time he went out on the excuse of reading Feng Shui, Ye Chen would take the initiative to bring back some gifts for the two of them. This had become a habit.

So, he returned to the villa, found Fei Kexin, and asked: "What other arrangements does Miss Fei have for the afternoon?"

Fei Kexin shook her head: "Back to Mr. Ye, I have no other arrangements. If you have no other arrangements, I can also let the flight take off in advance, so you don't have to waste an afternoon here."

Ye Chen smiled: "No need to take off in advance. You accompany me to go shopping in the afternoon and buy some handy gifts."

Fei Kexin was overjoyed when she heard that Ye Chen wanted to invite her to go shopping: "Okay, Mr. Ye, it is my honor to accompany you to go shopping."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "You don't have to be so polite, just treat it as giving me advice. I have the biggest headache about buying gifts, you help me make more decisions."

"Okay." Fei Kexin smiled and asked: "Then when shall we set off?"

"Now." Ye Chen said: "I'll say hello to Zhong Shu and the others and we'll go."

Soon, Ye Chen said hello to Chen Zhaozhong and drove with Fei Kexin to the largest commercial area in Hong Kong.

On the way, Fei Kexin asked him: "Mr. Ye, what kind of gifts do you plan to bring to your family?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Just my wife and my mother-in-law, choose something that women like."

Fei Kexin nodded and smiled: "For women, bags and jewelry are definitely the best choices. Bags are Hermes and Chanel. As for jewelry, there are many brands, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, Bvlgari, all are good choices."

Ye Chen said: "Don't send bags, I sent them before. Jewelry can be considered..."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly remembered the trap Song Wanting helped him set for Ma Lan.

At that time, Ma Lan spent almost all her cash because she took a fancy to a Bvlgari emerald necklace.

Ye Chen suddenly thought, if he bought another necklace of the same style as the one Ma Lan bought when she won the prize, what kind of feeling would Ma Lan have in the depths of her heart?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen said without hesitation: "Let's go to Bvlgari and have a look!"

Soon, the two parked the car and came to the largest SOGO department store in Hong Kong.

To prevent being recognized, Fei Kexin specially put on a mask and sunglasses and entered the mall with Ye Chen.

As soon as they arrived at the mall, Fei Kexin saw the Bvlgari sign, so she said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, Bvlgari is over there."

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded and came to the Bvlgari store with her. A shopping guide greeted them enthusiastically and asked: "Welcome to Bvlgari, what would you two like to see?"

Ye Chen asked: "I heard that you have an emerald necklace, do you have it in stock?"

The shopping guide said busily: "Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, the shopping guide took out an emerald pendant necklace from the counter, handed it to Ye Chen, and said respectfully: "Sir, this emerald necklace is our latest model this year. It sells very, very well, and the price is 550,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Ye Chen took the necklace and looked at it, and found that this necklace is indeed very good-looking. While showing style and temperament, it can also be low-key and introverted, not as flamboyant and superficial as diamond jewelry. It is indeed a rare good style.

No wonder Ma Lan was willing to spend all her cash to buy such a necklace.

Moreover, Ye Chen felt that it would also be very suitable for his wife Xiao Xiao Churan to wear such a pendant. Not only is the style fresh and elegant, but the green pendant can also set off the fairness of the skin.

So, Ye Chen said: "Okay, I want this necklace, please get me two."

The shopping guide said in surprise: "Sir, do you want to buy two exactly the same?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said: "I want them exactly the same."

The shopping guide explained patiently: "Sir, if you intend to give it to your wife, I suggest you buy two different ones. Women prefer jewelry of different styles."

Ye Chen said: "I intend to give it to my wife and my mother-in-law."

The shopping guide nodded and said sincerely: "Then it is even more recommended that you buy two different ones. Women are very sensitive to wearing the same clothes, shoes, same hairstyles, and hair colors, and they are even more sensitive to wearing the same jewelry. If your wife and mother-in-law wear the same necklace, they will definitely feel awkward."

Ye Chen smiled: "After hearing what you said, I want to buy the same one even more."

For Ye Chen, he knows Xiao Xiao Churan's personality very well. Xiao Xiao Churan has a dedicated personality, is indifferent to the world, and does not care about herself. If he buys the same jewelry for her and Ma Lan, she will definitely not have any dissatisfaction.

But Ma Lan is different.

Just now, the two major taboos of women's jewelry mentioned by the shopping guide, one is having the same jewelry, and the other is having the same jewelry as others. As long as he buys two exactly the same and gives them to Xiao Xiao Churan and Ma Lan, Ma Lan will touch these two taboos at the same time.

Ma Lan is greedy, and Ye Chen doesn't want her to be too proud. Appropriately making her feel uncomfortable can also correct her and make her not too proud and forget herself. ===== CHAPTER 2284 =====
