Chapter 1315 The Best Fan
After solving the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Gu Xun and Su Bai helped park the two cars in a nearby parking lot.
Led by Shi Rong, the five people went up the stairs. When the automatic sensor door opened, Shi Rong took the money from Esther and handed it to her with both hands, sealing it in a rosewood box.
An exquisitely crafted royal blue tasseled folding fan was unfolded and held in his hand to fan himself.
Now, although it is late autumn, the weather in the port city is still a sultry 27 or 28 degrees.
Shi Rong was wearing long pants and long sleeves, and the lobby of the office building didn't have air conditioning, so she could only cool it down manually.
The interior of the Government Affairs Office is no different from that of an ordinary small or medium-sized company.
Ivory white floor tiles, yew fences, yellow glazed painted walls, and simple and elegant landscape painting wallpaper with auspicious cloud patterns.
In the middle of the hall, there is a large green landscape made up of Clivia and Monstera interspersed.
The only relatively valuable ceiling crystal chandelier, Xing Jiashan looked at it this way and found it was a low-grade product made of the most common hibiscus quartz.
The hall is covered with posters with slogans such as "Integrity and Dedication" and "Clean Hands", which are monotonous and boring with no highlights.
It's not that Xing Jiashan is nitpicking.
Although they are both officials, the offices of his mother and the Huo family's uncle are much better than this.
It can even be said that they are two completely different styles.
The more Xing Jiashan looked at it, the more disgusted he felt. This was really... too unfair to his baby.
"Oh my god! Who is this woman? Even someone this beautiful has grievances that can't be resolved. Is she going to come to headquarters to file a complaint?"
On the way, I met several groups of men and women wearing blue and white formal uniforms coming down from the upstairs.
Shi Rong led the people behind him and nodded symbolically as a greeting.
???
Another woman, who saw her colleague, whom she worked with day and night, speaking nonsense, looked at her as if she was crazy when she heard this.
"What are you looking at? You don't even recognize her?
This is Ying Shirong, the daughter of the Ying family, who was promoted exceptionally to the position of Deputy Inspector of the East District six years ago.
She's still seeking justice...does she need to seek justice? It's good enough that no one comes here to accuse her of bullying."
When woman A heard this, she was suddenly shocked.
"Is this true? So she is the daughter of the Ying family? With such a prominent background, no wonder she is so beautiful.
But what's so great about this? Isn't it just because of his powerful family background that he bought the official title with money?
What extraordinary abilities can a daughter of a wealthy family who only knows how to pursue women have?
Even when she goes out, she has to bring a bunch of men around her. I think she is just an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless."
hiss!
After hearing this, Xing Jiashan immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up to beat the guy up.
But he was pulled back by Gu Xun who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
"Okay, okay... why are you mad at them? They're just a bunch of unpresentable, vulgar women.
Where have you ever seen any decent world?
To put it bluntly, the reason why this place is so poor is simply because it is just an office where ordinary civil servants gather.
And eighty percent of the people here are descendants of ordinary people who got into the civil service exams.
What do they know?
As soon as she finished speaking, Woman B immediately turned her head and glared at her fiercely.
"If you don't understand her, why not just stop talking nonsense? How can this be called flirting?
I can tell you responsibly that with her level, even someone like Mais would have to be courteous to her when meeting her.
Such an outstanding woman, would she lack men around her who are willing to revolve around her?
I also tell you, let alone this small headquarters of the Administrative Affairs Office, no one dares to offend her, even in the entire Tripartite Intelligence Bureau.
If our entire series of related departments is a complete ship, she is the gear at the center of the engine.
Without her, we can't even move forward. If she is useless, are you useful?
Do you know what it means to be young and promising?
The benefits she can bring to the Intelligence Bureau are achievements that even if there are 100 of you, you may not be able to achieve even if you work hard for 10 lifetimes.
Is it so hard to acknowledge someone's excellence? How can you be so shallow? Are you jealous that they're better looking than you?
Xiao Wang, we are all colleagues, you can't look at people with tinted glasses.
They've condescended to work for us, so stop talking nonsense."
Woman A was stunned by the scolding and had no choice but to bow her head and apologize.
"I know I was wrong, Sister Wu. I won't do it again next time."
Man A took advantage of the time when he was waiting for the elevator to stare at her graceful back, looking at her again and again.
“Don’t mention it, this beauty has really good taste.
The clothes she was wearing were new models from Qiluojue, a fashion street in Country D. It was said that the prices in that store were ridiculously expensive.
Without one or two million, there is no way to get it down.
Looking at the royal blue folding fan in her hand, it was the first time I had seen such exquisitely crafted gauze embroidery.
The white magnolia on the fan was sewn so vividly that it seemed to come alive.
She truly deserves to be the Huo family's principal wife and future grandson's daughter-in-law."
"what?"
The young woman named "Xiao Wang" was still busy looking Shi Rong up and down, and when she heard him say that, she thought he was joking.
"Stop it, okay? Do you mean that President Huo will fall in love with her?"
If it weren't for the crowds, Sister Wu would have really wanted to slap her.
"Xiao Wang, can you speak?
Mr. Huo doesn't like her, so could he like you? I told you to read more, but you didn't listen.
She is a well-deserved leader in the industry, an all-round talent, so how could she not be worthy of Mr. Huo? "
Without waiting for the woman to open her mouth to refute, Sister Wu turned and pointed at the man who had commented on Shi Rong.
"And you, what I have in my hand is not just a simple folding fan, it's called Fulin.
The best fans have three grades: kesi, ivory and Fulin.
Among them, the Fulin folding fan is the most valuable.
It is made of jade silk that is only one-tenth the fineness of a hair, which is densely woven and then embroidered with dots, carved and pierced to create exquisite patterns.
Finally, we use ice-type agarwood as the frame and press it into shape. It will not get hot when held in the hand for a long time, and even the wind it blows out is more comfortable than air conditioning.
In ancient times, white magnolia and peony were exclusive patterns for women above the rank of imperial concubine in the harem.
Most of them are noble patterns often seen in tokens of love given by kings.
I have only seen this Fu Lin once, at an exhibition held by the main branch of the Huo family.
Therefore, this must have come from the Huo family, or been presented by President Huo himself.
As for its price, although it has not been made public, its value is definitely beyond the reach of you and me."
When Xiao Wang heard this, he thought, how can that be possible?
"As a superior deputy inspector of the East District, how could she use this thing so openly?
Isn't this setting the precedent for corruption? I'm going to report her. She's leading others into corruption and bribery!"
???
Shi Xing was so angry that he almost blew Fu Lin away. Why did this woman talk so much nonsense?
It’s so annoying!
"Xiao Wang! What's wrong with you? When did he start taking the lead in corruption?
That was given to her by her fiancé as a token of love!"
