Chapter 2 It Can't Be Worse Than Seeing a Ghost

She carefully placed the jade pendant in the middle of the table, then walked over and took the sample clothes off the shelf.

Put on one piece after another, from sweaters to cotton jackets.

They also introduced and promoted the products to each customer one by one.

"You can rest assured about the quality of our factory. This batch of goods was originally requested by a major customer. The price is not low, and all the materials are high-quality..."

The moment he put on the sweater, Jiang Qian'an looked a little unnatural.

This dress really shows off her figure.

But he couldn't bear to look away.

Because this cotton-padded jacket is amazing.

A small thing went up and closed it.

He moved his fingers slightly, wanting to reach out and touch the closed part of the cotton-padded jacket, but he seemed to feel it was abrupt and did not move for a long time.

Chen Jinyue noticed his gaze, holding his clothes with one hand and sliding the zipper up and down with the other.

"It's very smooth, and you can't doubt the quality of the zipper!"

“…”

Jiang Qian'an's eyes lit up.

Even though I noticed that this store was weird, I couldn't resist the temptation.

He couldn't hide his joy between his brows, and finally made up his mind, "Wrap them all for me!"

Chen Jinyue paused, looking at him with a subtle expression, "Are you sure you want to exchange that piece of ancient jade for these sample clothes?"

These are all very common styles, and the workmanship is not complicated. Most factories can produce them. Why should he spend a lot of money to buy them?

However, what answered him was that the other party took action himself and took down all the samples swiftly.

That action was as if he was afraid that she would regret it.

Holding a pile of clothes, Jiang Qian took two steps towards the door, his eyes falling on the heavy floor-length curtains beside him. "Can you give me that piece of cloth as well?"

Chen Jinyue, “???”

She bit her lip, thinking about her current situation, then looked at the piece of white jade, and decided to respect other people's opinions.

"Sure, take whatever you like, but once the transaction is completed, there are no returns!"

"good!"

Jiang Qian'an was eager for that.

He quickly removed the curtains, wrapped all his clothes in them, and strode away.

Chen Jinyue felt increasingly uneasy.

This is the first time I’ve taken such a big advantage of someone.

It would be fine if she didn't know the value of the jade, but she knew the value of the ancient jade...

She chased after him a few steps, wanting to add his contact information and replenish his warehouse with some more goods according to the approximate value.

However, when she stood at the office door, she only saw the factory manager and a worker smoking in the corridor, looking over here from time to time, obviously keeping an eye on her to prevent them from running away.

Looking at the elevator again, the number next to it quietly displayed '1', as if it had never been started.

"Did you see anyone coming out?"

The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

The worker, cigarette in hand, said impatiently, "Ms. Chen, stop acting crazy here. We didn't see a single soul! Aren't you selling antiques? Where's the buyer?"

Chen Jinyue, “…”

She remembered this person.

He just said, producing cotton clothes in the middle of summer for ghosts to wear...

Wear it for the ghost...

Chen Jinyue originally thought that the young man in ancient costume just now was someone who liked wearing Hanfu or doing cosplay...

It was the height of July, and the air was filled with heat waves, but Chen Jinyue felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and the back of his neck was chilly.

She retreated back into her office and slammed the door behind her.

Sitting on the chair, she picked up the jade pendant and studied it again for a long time.

It's definitely not from the soil.

The current situation couldn't be worse than seeing a ghost, so she didn't think about it anymore and made a phone call.

…

Half an hour later.

In the office.

An old man in his sixties carefully picked up the jade pendant and adjusted his reading glasses. His pupils behind the lenses were a little excited. "Where did you get this?"

Chen Jinyue was extremely calm. "This is an heirloom from my family. Teacher, do you think it's okay to accept it?"

Old Man Qian was introduced by her mentor.

The mentor knew her family situation and felt very sympathetic towards her. When he learned that she wanted to sell antiques, he took the initiative to introduce her to some connections.

Nowadays, the antique circle is very complicated.

He was afraid that Chen Jinyue only had professional knowledge but did not know the root cause of his work.

"able!"

Old Man Qian answered her affirmatively, but did not say anything else. Instead, he continued to check.

Not only look at it, but also touch it carefully with your hands.

He seemed very excited, yet also puzzled.

After a while, he looked at Chen Jinyue with shining eyes, "Forgive my poor eyesight, but can you tell me the history behind this jade pendant?"

Chen Jinyue shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My father is a businessman. You should have heard Professor Yan mention this. He collected these just to show off and save face. He can't even tell the real from the fake, let alone their historical significance."

Old Man Qian sighed with a slight sense of regret, saying, "Based on my speculation, this ancient jade dates back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, but the craftsmanship was far ahead of its time, and it's in excellent condition. Look at the pattern, the colors are rich and soft, and every line is naturally formed. The jade dragon leaps like a mighty army, symbolizing status and imperial power. And look at the text on the back, it's most likely the emperor's surname..."

But throughout history, he had never seen this character used in connection with an imperial surname or a country's name.

Moreover, there have never been any items from the same period on the market.

"You can't even determine the period?" Chen Jinyue couldn't help but feel disappointed. "It seems like I can't offer a good price."

"Confused!"

Old Man Qian couldn't help but scold, "You're such a professional, but just because something hasn't appeared doesn't mean it's worthless! China has a brilliant civilization spanning five thousand years, and there are countless undiscovered treasures! If something from this period were to come to light, it would unveil a brand new civilization!"

Chen Jinyue, “…”

Of course she knew this.

But noble artistic sentiments require rich material support.

She is short of money now, very short of money.

She doesn't even dare to hope for enough food and clothing, she just hopes to take a break. If she can't find a solution, she will be crushed by debt.

Finally, she asked a very common question, "How much can you give?"

Chen Jinyue is very clear that the greatest value of antiques lies in the historical significance behind them. If the period cannot be determined, the value will not be what it deserves.

When she learned that Old Man Qian also couldn't predict the time, she felt a little disappointed.

It seems that this is just her estimated starting price...

"Two hundred and eighty, right?"

Chen Jinyue was puzzled by this figure and asked grimly, "Yuan?"

Old Man Qian glared at her with a dark face, "You can sell it to me for 280 yuan? 2.8 million! Ten thousand! No wonder Old Man Yan was afraid that you would be cheated, you are such a tiger girl!"

Two million eight hundred thousand is already a conservative price.

Did she know how much an unknown era attracted historians and famous collectors?

Chen Jinyue didn't know.

She only knew that with this money, she could appease the workers.

She was able to walk out of the factory alive today.

So when Old Man Qian told her seriously that this item was of great collection value and asked her if she was sure she wanted to sell it, she nodded enthusiastically.

Hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to the 2.8 million.
