Chapter 258 Transfer of Ownership
On the weekend, Yang Jiesheng made an appointment with Wen Qing to go to Zhujiajiao. Zhujiajiao is located in the western suburbs of Songjiang, close to Dingshan Lake. It is a typical Jiangnan water town with crisscrossing rivers, flowing water, black tiles and white walls.
Yang Jiesheng brought a camera, and the two of them took a lot of photos. Wen Qing had never been to Zhujiajiao in her previous life, and she liked the water town scenery here very much. The two of them went boating on the river together, sipping tea, listening to the sound of oars, and looking at the hazy mist and rain, green trees and red flowers. They felt quite free and easy.
On the way back, Wen Qing said to Yang Jiesheng, "I'm going to Hong Kong next week. The auction will be showing the items in advance, and I want to go and take a look. After the auction is over, I will go directly to the United States from Hong Kong."
Yang Jiesheng said, "Then I'll go with you."
Wen Qing shook her head, "No need, I'll go by myself."
Yang Jiesheng did not insist. He was adjusting the Shanghai company's business strategy and was indeed very busy.
When Wen Qing left Songjiang, she felt that it would be strange if there was nothing in the house, so she replaced the antique furniture with ordinary furniture, closed the windows, locked the heavy iron door, and took a taxi to the airport.
She bought the plane ticket with her passport and had a visa from the United States, so she could stay in the port city for a while.
It only takes more than three hours to fly from Songjiang to Gangcheng, but the customs procedures are time-consuming and laborious. By the time she arrived in Gangcheng and checked into the hotel, it was already evening. Wen Qing put down her luggage, washed up simply, and went out for dinner.
The port city at night was filled with flickering neon lights and bustling crowds of people, full of the bustling atmosphere of a big city. She strolled along the street and after walking for a while saw a brightly lit snack bar. Based on the principle that more people means better food, Wen Qing walked into the restaurant and saw a seat for two by the window. She waited for the waiter to take her over and could see the hustle and bustle of the street through the window.
Wen Qing hadn't eaten properly all day. When the waiter brought the dishes she ordered, she saw the delicious food and her appetite suddenly increased. She ate most of it.
She called Mr. Yi, who told her the address of the auction house. Wen Qing sent the four sets of jewelry over, and the two parties completed the handover. She watched the staff put the jewelry into the display cabinet. The dazzling rubies looked like fire and blood under the light, and the kingfisher jewelry looked even more magnificent and luxurious.
Wen Qing did not leave immediately. She went to appreciate other jewels on auction. The huge gems and exaggerated designs were obviously Western in style, but they were also very beautiful.
Most of the jewelry at this jewelry auction were Western-style jewelry, and her four sets of Chinese jewelry were the only ones. After viewing the exhibits, Wen Qing returned to the hotel.
Disguised as "Mr. Li", Wen Qing went to the account manager of Harvest Bank. She handed over Wen Qing's identity card and asked the account manager to donate all the stocks under his name to his "niece" Wen Qing. She opened a new account in Wen Qing's name and processed the transfer. Under the suspicious eyes of the account manager, Wen Qing, "Mr. Li", signed all the documents.
According to the bill printed by the account manager, the HK$1.6 million worth of stocks she invested three years ago has appreciated to HK$2.3 million. Together with the earliest batch of investments, her total assets have reached HK$3.8 million.
Mr. Li said to the account manager: "Miss Wen will keep in touch with you in the future. I hope you will continue to serve her well."
The account manager smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please rest assured that the customer is God. I will definitely satisfy Miss Wen."
Wen Qing packed up the statement, password, and related documents, nodded in thanks, and left the bank. The account manager watched Mr. Li walk away before returning to the office, envious of his niece Wen Qing's good luck.
Wen Qing's main reason was that now that policies have been gradually relaxed, it is more convenient to travel between Hong Kong and the city, and investing in her own name will also make it easier to handle subsequent procedures. In the future, she can invest remotely in her own name by phone, so "Mr. Li" can withdraw.
She called Louise and asked her to have dinner with her. Louise worked at an investment bank in Hong Kong City. Wen Qing went to a Cantonese restaurant where they had agreed to meet. Louise hurried over after get off work and first hugged Wen Qing and said with a smile, “Wen, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Are you okay?”
Wen Qing also smiled and said, "It couldn't be better. Thank you, Louise. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to go to study in the United States." He took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to her, saying, "This is the dress I bought for you from the most famous cheongsam shop in Songjiang. You will definitely look more beautiful when you wear it."
Louis took the paper bag and took out the cheongsam. It was a rose-red embroidered cheongsam with cloud patterns embroidered on the rose-red silk, which looked very elegant.
Louise said happily: "It's so beautiful and smells so good. Thank you so much. This is the best gift I have ever received."
During the meal, Wen Qing asked about studying at a university in the United States and learned about the process of buying or renting a house there. She had never been abroad in her life, so asking clearly would allow for better arrangements.
Louise shared her experience of studying in college with Wen Qing and said, "In our country, universities focus more on innovation and practice. Schools will provide students with some internship opportunities. You can try to participate."
The two talked about the scenic spots in Hong Kong. Louise was very satisfied with the life in Hong Kong and said she would work here for three to five years.
The dinner passed with the two of them having an enthusiastic conversation. Wen Qing returned to the hotel. When she finished taking a shower and was blow-drying her hair, she received a call from Yang Jiesheng. He had also returned to Hong Kong City and asked her to go to Ocean Park together the next day.
The next morning, Yang Jiesheng came to the hotel to pick her up, and they went to the Ocean Park together. They took the world's longest outdoor escalator, experienced the thrilling roller coaster, and saw the dreamy Ocean World. In short, Wen Qing felt very satisfied.
Yang Jiesheng is a local and has been here many times. He was originally reluctant to ride the roller coaster, but at Wen Qing's request, he had to ride it and experience the feeling of a 360-degree rotation in mid-air. Wen Qing could hear his screams along the way and could only laugh in her heart at his timidity. The safety factor of this kind of game facility is still very high, but the feeling of weightlessness falling from a high altitude to the sea is a bit exciting. Wen Qing is not afraid, but just feels it is very novel.
After getting off the roller coaster, Yang Jiesheng refused all exciting game projects, and the two had to go to the underwater world. Wen Qing felt that this place was more magnificent than the underwater world she had seen in the East China Sea.
The two of them stayed until the lights came on before walking down the mountain along the driveway halfway up the mountain. They watched the afterglow of the setting sun dye the sea orange and red, and the gentle sea breeze blowing their hair. Wen Qing's mood gradually calmed down.
When saying goodbye, Yang Jiesheng said, "Ah Wen, I have arranged an appointment with a stylist for you. I will pick you up at 2 pm tomorrow. Let's go get your hair done before attending the auction tonight."
Wen Qing nodded. She was not very familiar with the port city, but she still had to dress formally to attend the auction. She not only bought a cheongsam for Louis at the famous cheongsam shop in Shanghai, but also bought herself a blue silk cheongsam. The sapphire blue skirt was embroidered with light blue camellia flowers.
The next day at 2 pm, Yang Jiesheng came to pick her up on time for styling. The styling process took a long time, so Yang Jiesheng dropped her off and went back to work, and agreed to pick her up again at 5: pm.
