"Well, let's do something more interesting."

"Wait, when are you going to marry me?"

After dealing with Hou Liangping's matter, Zhong Xiaoai had no distractions and started to bring up the old matter again.

"Didn't I tell you that now is the rising period of our careers, it's too early to talk about marriage."

Guan Peng evaded the question.

"Come on, you just want to have fun and have no intention of marrying me at all."

After being fooled by Guan Peng three or four times in a row, Zhong Xiaoai finally reacted this time.

"How could that be, Xiao Ai, don't you know how I feel about you?"

Guan Peng's acting skills are at their best, the helplessness of not being understood, the sadness of his lover doubting him, all kinds of expressions are written on his face.

"I'm not pushing you. My mom is asking about this again. I suspect she already knows about our current relationship."

Zhong Xiaoai really didn't expect that the man in front of her was so good at acting, and she was fooled again.

"Actually, my mother has urged me to marry you. She also hopes that after we get married, you can be a full-time wife so that you can take better care of the family."

"What? Being a full-time wife? I don't want to."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai refused without hesitation.

"I know you don't want to, but my mom is very stubborn. She took care of my dad like this, and she wants you to take care of me like this in the future, so I can only keep putting it off and say I'm busy and don't want to get married."

During this period, Guan Peng has evolved from the deluxe version of Lu Zhanbo to the deluxe version of Lu Ziqiao.

"I see. I was wrong about you."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai felt even more guilty and took the initiative to give him a kiss.

"By the way, I'm going to Yunnan tomorrow. I might be gone for ten days or half a month."

After the passion, Guan Peng spoke.

"Emerald auction?"

"Oh, you know that, too."

Guan Peng was a little surprised that Zhong Xiaoai actually knew this.

"How could I not know? I also know that your nickname is "Little Stone King"."

Zhong Xiaoai was very satisfied with Guan Peng's surprised expression at the moment.

"You know a lot. Let me reward you."

"No, the movie is about to end, I want to go home."

Chapter 15 Yunnan Trip

Yanjing International Airport

After bidding farewell to Zhong Xiaoai, Guan Peng walked into the VIP box in the departure hall.

"Brother Peng, was that your sister-in-law?"

A beautiful long-haired lady carrying a drawing board walked up to Guan Peng and asked.

"Why, Yunyun, are you scared?"

The visitor was called Tang Yun, a junior art student. Guan Peng had learned painting from her.

"I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid that you won't contact me for half a month like you did this time." Tang Yun said coquettishly.

"Okay, I was wrong. When we get to Yunnan tonight, I will definitely make it up to you. How about drawing a picture for you?"

I am not afraid of hooligans having culture, but I am afraid of scumbags having systems;

When Tang Yun heard the word "painting", she seemed to remember something and her face turned red without saying anything.

Yunnan, located in the south of the colorful clouds, has a long history and culture as well as beautiful natural scenery. It has many tourist attractions, including the Old Town of Lijiang, Three Parallel Rivers, Stone Forest, Hani Terraces, Ancient Town of Dali, Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Erhai Lake, Dianchi Lake, Fuxian Lake, Meili Snow Mountain, Pudacuo National Park, Ganden Songzanlin Monastery, and Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest.

Guan Peng’s destination on this trip - Yingjiang is a county in the northwest of Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It borders Myanmar on the west, northwest and southwest, and is known as the Chinese jade rough material city.

Money paves the way, wine paves the way; but at Guan Peng's current level, there are people who are eager to arrange many things for him even if he doesn't say anything.

Airport Exit

Guan Peng was blocked as soon as he got off the plane.

"Brother Peng, if Wang Jie hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known you were coming to Yunnan. You didn't even tell me you were coming, so you don't consider me a brother."

Zhang Chao - one of the clients of Wujiang Investment Bank, is a bit like Mr. Zhao from Handong, but he doesn't do things that are so outrageous.

"Chaozi, do you think I dare to come to you in my current situation?" Guan Peng had expected this and arrogantly hugged Tang Yun and admitted his mistake.

"Brother Peng, I am the most tight-lipped person, and you are easy to talk to. Given the current situation of the Zhong family, even if you bring your sister-in-law to Zhong Xiaoai, she won't dare to make trouble with you."

Zhang Chao, who knew the inside story of the Zhong family, instigated Guan Peng.

"You really are my Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick"

Guan Peng naturally knew that Zhong Xiaoai's feelings for him were not pure, and he also understood the current situation of the Zhong family, but feelings grow over time, and hurting someone in person would be too much.

"Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me, Brother Peng."

It was only 06, so Zhang Chao naturally didn’t know this joke.

The next thing was the welcoming party. Zhang Chao had originally made special arrangements, but when he saw Guan Peng bringing a female companion, he had to give up.

"Brother Peng, you are here for the jade auction, right? If you can cut out good materials this time, please consider me. I won't let you suffer a loss in price."

After three rounds of drinks, Zhang Chao took advantage of the alcohol to speak.

Guan Peng originally thought that Zhang Chao wanted to make an investment, but he didn't expect that this was his intention.

"Chaozi, even gods can't tell the difference. I'm here just to wander around and relax. Don't expect too much."

Guan Peng didn't say everything.

"Brother Peng is someone else, but you are the Little Stone King. If you take action, you are afraid that something bad will come out. In three months, it will be our old man's 90th birthday. I want to show my face, so please help me."

Zhang Chao flattered with a lick on his face.

"Okay, if I really want to cut out something good, I'll definitely think of you first."

Now that things have come to this, Guan Peng naturally couldn't refuse.

What followed was toasting and chatting, and both hosts and guests were having a great time. However, Guan Peng had an appointment with his girlfriend, so the party ended at nine o'clock.

.........

Kunming Green Lake Hotel

Located beside the scenic Green Lake, it has 16 floors and 306 deluxe rooms and superior suites with Chinese and Western cultural characteristics. All rooms are equipped with mini bars, hair dryers, etc.

The hotel has a banquet hall that can accommodate 250 people, 6 luxurious small banquet rooms, a Chinese restaurant with a Chinese classical band, a bar with piano performances, in addition, there is a discotheque and a merchandise department.

This is the hotel where Guan Peng stayed.

........

The next day, Tang Yun did not leave the room; and Guan Peng started his morning run on time early in the morning.

There were still more than ten days before the jade public auction started, so the two of them started a self-driving tour in the following days. The first stop of the tour was Lijiang Ancient Town.

Lijiang Ancient Town, also known as "Dayan Ancient Town", is located in Dayan Town, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. It is a famous city with beautiful scenery, long history and splendid culture. It is also a rare well-preserved ethnic minority ancient town in China.

The ancient city has splendid and colorful local ethnic customs and entertainment activities, including Naxi ancient music, Dongba rituals, divination culture, ancient town bars, Naxi Torch Festival, etc., which are unique; the ancient city is also a must-go place for contemporary art students to sketch.

At Tang Yun's suggestion, Guan Peng sealed his money-making ability, and the two of them carried drawing boards and made money by drawing sketches for travelers on the streets of the ancient town.

"It's so little, not even enough to pay for a B&B."

Not many people had the patience to sit still for ten minutes while they drew. Plus, the handsome man and beautiful woman combination was too hateful. So from noon to sunset, the two of them didn't make more than a hundred dollars.

Just when Tang Yun was about to give up, Guan Peng took out a guitar from the trunk of the car; after he entered Zhong Xiaoai's heart through music in the bar, Guan Peng asked someone to buy him one; he originally planned to use it to coax Tang Yun this time, but he didn't expect it to become a tool for making a living.

After finding a relatively open and busy place, Guan Peng opened the box containing his guitar, placed it on the ground, and began to play and sing by himself.

"A good person like me

Should have lived a splendid life

How come more than twenty years have ended?

Still floating in the sea of ​​people

smart people like me

Say goodbye to innocence

Why did you still use a relationship?

To exchange for a body of scars..."

I am neither a king nor a beggar, but I am indeed an excellent person; Nurse Mao's songs always resonate with people, and the song "People Like Me" is the best among them; within an hour, the box on the ground was filled with coins and banknotes, among which five red Mao Zedong notes were particularly eye-catching.

For fear of attracting the urban management department, Guan Peng quit while he was ahead. After pouring the money into a nylon bag, he closed his stall early.

"Brother Peng, you are so awesome..."

Tang Yun completely turned into a little fangirl. The man in front of her seemed to be omnipotent, but it was a pity that he was not hers alone.

Chapter 16 Journey

Guan Peng will not let himself down, and Tang Yun is used to enjoying a quality life;

The two of them turned into a deep alley from the Feihuachushui intersection in Shuhe Ancient Town and found an inn that was eye-catching.

There are five two-story buildings scattered around, typical Naxi-style buildings, with blue tiles and earthen walls, exquisitely carved window grilles, and a well-arranged courtyard with winding paths. The yard is full of various fruit trees and trees such as cherry, sweet plum, osmanthus, purple magnolia, wisteria, and azalea.

The proprietress of the inn was very friendly; as soon as Guan Peng and Tang Yun entered the door, she smiled and joked whether they came to Lijiang for their honeymoon, and then enthusiastically showed them around the inn.

In this huge courtyard, there are only nine carefully designed guest rooms with different styles. Each room here is unique. It is an antique wooden structure, but the design is not lacking in modern sophistication.

Each guest room has either a front yard or a backyard, leaving more space for close contact with nature.

Tang Yun fell in love with this place after just one look.

“Just here”

Seeing Tang Yun's satisfied smile, Guan Peng made the decision.

After arranging accommodation, the two did not rest for long before going out to look for food; it would be unreasonable not to try the local special snacks when they arrived in Lijiang.

The two chose a Yunnan restaurant called Xiao Guoba, which is a Yunnan restaurant that specializes in Naxi-style dishes.

Following the waiter's recommendation, Guan Peng ordered signature dishes such as Naxi barbecue, Mabang grilled fish, water lily, Lijiang baba, and plum wine.

Naxi barbecue is dry but not woody, fragrant but not greasy, and paired with mint leaves and sesame seeds, which are used in local barbecue, it is extremely delicious. Tang Yun took only one bite and praised it highly, and also started to feed Guan Peng.

"Are you Tang Yun?"

Perhaps it was because showing affection in public really made people hate him, so an uninvited guest showed up.

"Are you Luvmont?"

Tang Yun obviously recognized the person.

"Yes, I came to Lijiang for tourism with a friend, how about you?"

Guan Peng smelled the scent of a dog licker, and an arrogant dog licker at that, because this guy had already sat down while speaking.

"My boyfriend and I came here to sketch."

It was Tang Yun's words that made Lu Fumeng notice that there was actually a living person next to him.

"Hey, sorry buddy, I didn't notice you just now. I'm so excited to meet my old classmates in a different place."

Lu Fumeng shook Guan Peng's hand in a familiar manner and apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let that buddy go with you. Why don't you call him over too? I'll order a few more dishes."

Anyone with common sense would understand what Guan Peng said. I have already ordered the dishes and started eating. As for you, you have friends coming with you, so let’s have fun on our own.

But Lu Fumeng was not a smart man, or he was just confused occasionally. As soon as Guan Peng finished speaking, he started calling people.

"Yu Huanshui, here, here."
