This broken snuff bottle is expensive?!

What a joke!

How could the things Ye Qin bought be so expensive? Where would she get the money?

"Haha, Director Gao, you must have seen it wrong. How could this thing be so expensive? This was bought by my wife's sister... Ye Changhai, the daughter of our factory electrician, Ye Changhai. Given his family's situation, even if this thing was really expensive, he wouldn't be able to afford it." Lin Dachuan didn't believe it and continued, "I still say that, Director Gao, if you like it, I have a friend in the antique city who specializes in these things. I can buy you an antique imitation, which is much better looking than this!"

Director Gao glanced at Lin Dachuan without responding. Instead, he looked at Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Li, if that's the case, why don't you give it to me? I'll pay you 1,000 yuan."

When the Li family heard that someone was willing to pay a thousand for this worthless item, their eyes lit up immediately.

Li Guoyue's wife looked at Grandpa Li excitedly, wanting him to quickly agree to sell it, since the money would eventually go into his pocket anyway.

When Mr. Li first heard this, he was delighted and almost agreed without hesitation. But when he noticed Director Gao's seemingly calm but actually anxious eyes, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "It doesn't matter whether it's worth money or not. This is a birthday gift from my granddaughter. I can't sell it."

Upon hearing what Mr. Li said, Li Guoyue's wife became anxious and secretly pushed Li Guoyue.

"Well, that... Dad, Director Gao is my brother-in-law's boss. Since he likes it, just sell it to him." Li Guoyue said.

The urgency in Director Gao's eyes betrayed him. "Old man, if you think 1,000 yuan is not enough, I can add a little more. How about 1,500 yuan?"

However, the more Director Gao raised the price, the less Mr. Li wanted to sell it. This time he shook his head decisively, "I can't sell it. This is a gift from my child." He looked at Lin Dachuan again and said, "Dachuan, don't you have a friend in the antique city? Get a better one for Director Gao and give it to him for free."

As Mr. Li spoke, he took the snuff bottle back from Director Gao. This time, he didn't give it to Li Guoyue, but kept it in his own hands.

Director Gao's plan was dashed, and coupled with the old man's subsequent words, he suddenly became a little angry, "Is this a question of whether to accept the money or not? This is..."

As the words reached his lips, Director Gao felt that he had lost his composure. He had almost gotten the treasure, but now it was gone. He was furious and glared at Lin Dachuan, "I have something else to do, I'm leaving now!"

"Hey! Director Gao! Director!" Lin Dachuan hurriedly chased after him, but soon returned with a sullen look on his face. He complained directly to Old Master Li, "Old Master, what are you doing? Director Gao came here to give me face and to support your Li family. He liked your broken snuff bottle, so why don't you just give it to him, forget about asking for money? Why are you doing this? How can I stay in the factory in the future? What if Director Gao tries to make things difficult for me?"

Not only Lin Dachuan, but other people in the Li family also did not understand what Mr. Li did. They thought he was stupid for not making money.

However, Mr. Li had no time to deal with these people at the moment. The birthday banquet ended hastily, and after paying the bill, he hurried back home.

It was not until they got home that the old man said to Lin Dachuan, who still looked unhappy, "Don't you know someone in the antique city? Are there any experts there? Let them appraise this thing and see how much it is worth."
