Chapter 92: Beef Chili Sauce.
Xiao Yingchun gave a simple instruction, and Fu Chen'an
complied, so obedient and docile. Xiao Yingchun found herself amused as she spoke: "Why are you so obedient today?"
Fu Chen'an looked at Xiao Yingchun seriously and replied: "Because I know you're really thinking about me."
Xiao Yingchun tilted her head, not explaining that she was also thinking about the money.
After all, he was her only supreme VIP client!
So, in the end, Xiao Yingchun simply said: "You're worth it."
You're worth it?!
Fu Chen'an was shocked, but didn't know what to say. He simply nodded, indicating that he understood.
Fu Chen'an had sent a complete set of rosewood furniture. Xiao Yingchun took one look at the intricate rosewood bed and said, "You'll keep it with you for now."
It was called a bed, but in reality, it was a room.
It had a bed, a dressing table, a stool, a table... everything, all made of rosewood.
While luxurious, the container-like design made her feel a little oppressive and intimidated.
Fu Chenan readily obliged, bringing her some small items and a complete set of rosewood tables and chairs.
By the time Fu Chenan left, sweating profusely, it was already past nine in the evening.
Thinking of the long-distance flight tomorrow, Xiao Yingchun quickly showered and went to bed.
The next day, she woke up early, feeling refreshed.
Xiao Yingchun went to a familiar noodle shop for breakfast and, as expected, saw Uncle Ye, Ye Yubin, drinking.
Seeing Xiao Yingchun, Ye Yubin seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say.
Xiao Yingchun approached him: "Uncle Ye, you're out for breakfast so early?"
Ye Yubin looked at Xiao Yingchun: "Xiao girl, your shop has been running for three days and drying the net for two days. Are you going to close it?"
Xiao Yingchun chuckled: "You know business like this is not good right now. I must want to do something else, so I have to put the shop business aside for the time being."
"You're a girl, and you don't have anyone around to help you with advice. You have to be more cautious!"
"Safety always comes first."
Ye Yubin still remembered the time when Xiao Yingchun came to him at night to buy hemostatic medicine.
Xiao Yingchun continued to smile and agreed: "Okay, I'll remember..."
After breakfast, Ye Yubin returned to the pharmacy, and Xiao Yingchun followed him.
Ye Yubin didn't ask further questions. He opened the pharmacy door and pulled a stool for Xiao Yingchun to sit on. Then he said, "What can I do for you?"
Xiao Yingchun chuckled, "Uncle Ye, I'm going to London for a few days, and the store won't be open."
"But I'm worried something might happen while I'm gone. Can you keep an eye on it for me?"
Ye Yubin looked at Xiao Yingchun in surprise. "You're going to London? London, England?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded.
"What are you doing in London? Traveling?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded vaguely.
Ye Yubin hesitated, but didn't say anything to stop him. He just sighed, "Girl, it's good for you to go out and see the world."
"I'll keep an eye on your store for you, but make sure your phone is open while you're abroad. If anything happens, I can contact you."
"I know, Uncle Ye," Xiao Yingchun agreed.
Wang Yongjun had already given Xiao Yingchun some advice on this matter; it would be no problem.
"That's fine." Ye Yubin thought for a moment, went into the house and wrote a note to Xiao Yingchun, which was a name and a phone number.
Tang Siqiong:...
"What is this?" Xiao Yingchun looked at the note in confusion.
Ye Yubin pointed to the note: "This is my old friend in London."
"If you encounter any difficulties in London, you can go to her for help. She still has some connections in London."
"Just say she is my neighbor's child. She is a very enthusiastic person..."
Ye Yubin's expression was complicated, and Xiao Yingchun didn't ask too much.
After putting the note away and thanking Ye Yubin, he returned to the Yingchun store.
Fu Chenan actually came here early in the morning and brought a jar of beef chili sauce to Xiao Yingchun!
Xiao Yingchun was shocked: "What's going on?"

Fu Chenan pointed at the beef chili sauce and smiled innocently.
"I heard that you were going on a long trip. Although people can't come in, they can get things from the warehouse. I asked Bai Lu to make you a jar of this last night."
"You usually keep this in the warehouse. If you can't get used to the food outside, you can use it to mix rice..."
Xiao Yingchun was so touched!
It was unknown how much effort went into making this jar of beef chili sauce.
Although it was not made by Fu Chenan himself, he thought of this!
Even this kind of thought is extremely rare!
"Okay, if I'm not used to eating outside food when I'm abroad, I'll use this to mix rice or noodles." Xiao Yingchun promised solemnly.
Fu Chenan looked around and finally nodded: "Then I'll go first."
At around ten o'clock, Wang Yongjun called a car to pick up Xiao Yingchun, and the two set off together.
Wang Yongjun didn't talk much, but he paid close attention to Xiao Yingchun's mood, and would talk about some of the situation in London from time to time.
Buckingham Palace, Camden Market...
Buckingham Palace aside, Camden Market has it all: food, clothing, decorations...
Wang Yongjun didn't have many adjectives, but just spoke of them dryly, and Xiao Yingchun actually felt a yearning.
"I wonder if there's anything delicious there?" he asked. "I'll get some for Fu Chenan to try later."
But having fun isn't the primary goal; the most important thing is to visit Sotheby's, London's largest auction house.
Wang Yongjun listened to Xiao Yingchun's plans and agreed.
The flight took off from China in the evening. After
a twelve-hour flight, it was 11 PM London time when they arrived.
Xiao Yingchun was completely bewildered: I slept all the way on the plane, and now it's 11 PM again? What should I do?
Who could sleep like that?
Wang Yongjun called for someone to pick her up. Seeing Xiao Yingchun's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but laugh, and his tone softened.
"We need to check into a hotel first to adjust to the time difference. I'll get up early tomorrow and take you wherever you want to go. Is that okay?"
"Of course," Xiao Yingchun said, insisting on listening.
Once at the hotel, Wang Yongjun's role as tour guide and escort began to take hold.
He arranged for the two of them to get a two-bedroom suite, each occupying a separate room.
Xiao Yingchun couldn't sleep, but she
had to try to catch some sleep to avoid feeling exhausted during the day. After finally managing a fitful night's sleep, Wang Yongjun knocked on her door, saying
he was about to leave for breakfast. Xiao Yingchun, as if granted amnesty, quickly got up and dressed.
After a bland breakfast, Wang Yongjun borrowed a car from a friend and took her to the Sujiabi Auction House.
Xiao Yingchun took a look around and found it quite different from what she had expected: the items were divided into different areas, and not everything had to be auctioned.
There was also a ready-to-wear section, where items were displayed on shelves with pre-set prices; anyone who liked them could simply pay and take them away.
However, Xiao Yingchun wasn't interested in the luxury handbags in the ready-to-wear section; she simply glanced and left.
Wang Yongjun followed silently throughout the entire process, truly acting as an "invisible person."
After looking around, Xiao Yingchun asked Wang Yongjun to help find someone in charge of the auction here, preferably someone who could speak Mandarin, as she couldn't speak English.
Wang Yongjun guessed that Xiao Yingchun had something that could be auctioned, but didn't want to ask Dai Hengxin to sell it, so he wanted to come to London to inquire about the situation.
However, he couldn't figure out whether Xiao Yingchun kept this thing with a friend abroad or in China.
Anyway, when she was checked abroad, there was nothing unusual in Xiao Yingchun's suitcase.
Obviously, she didn't bring any antiques out...
