Guan Yuxi also got up.
With a calm expression, he said, "Isn't the boss being a bit too nosy?"
Do I need to report to you how I got this?"
She gathered the things on the table and casually tossed them into her backpack.
The clanging sound made the middle-aged man's lips twitch.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."
I just want to ask if you can bear to part with this?
I can trade you a complete set of top-quality jade artifacts..."
To show their sincerity.
He offered the pen holder to Leng Lie.
Leng Lie's gaze shifted slightly.
Guan Yuxi snatched the pen holder and put it in her bag.
He scoffed coldly and said, "I won't trade!"
She pulled him out the door, but as they reached the entrance, she turned back and rolled her eyes.
Don't think I don't know what's good for me.
It would be difficult for me to collect this set of bronze stationery.
Jade items are indeed very easy to find, yet you want to trade with me? Haha.
Those who do business are truly shrewd and calculating!
Leng Lie hesitated for a moment and then pulled her back. "How about we sell this thing?"
Should we choose a different gift for the elderly person?
Guan Yuxi couldn't pull him away.
She angrily pulled her hand away from his, "What can I choose if I have to choose again?"
What do they have? It took them so long to dig... and find this.
Where else can you find something special?
Leng Lie's eyes showed a conflicted expression.
He finally stopped her, muttering, "Then why don't we sell it?"
What good stuff does that old man have? It's better to offer your warm welcome than to be met with indifference.
"Why not save the money to improve our lives?"
Guan Yuxi put her hands on her hips, grabbed his ear, and left.
"What do you know? You're short on brains and short on brains."
Do you think that if we send things up there, they'll get a good deal out of us?
Isn't it better than selling randomly and getting ripped off?
Leng Lie's face fell.
She reached out to cover her ears, "Ouch, let go."
"Isn't it enough to just do it your way? What kind of behavior is this?"
Guan Yuxi only let go after he begged for mercy.
He casually hung the backpack on him, saying, "Keep it on tight. If you lose it, you'll be a bachelor for life!"
The middle-aged man caught up with him and handed him a business card.
"Call me Li Nan. You can come find me if you've thought things through."
You can also call this number; I buy all sorts of things here.
Anything with the marks of time and a historical story is acceptable...
Guan Yuxi dismissively knocked the business card away.
Leng Lie grinned apologetically at him, picked up the business card, and stuffed it into his pocket.
He quickly chased after Guan Yuxi.
"Wife, wait a minute."
"No way! You're so annoying, you almost made me let it slip."
Guan Yuxi suddenly stopped.
Leng Lie bumped into her, causing Guan Yuxi to wince in pain.
"Are your eyes on the soles of your feet?"
You almost killed me! Don't you know how big you are?!
"Can you afford to pay for the damage if you crash it?"
Guan Yuxi looked imperious and kept punching him with her little fists.
Leng Lie stood there silently, not daring to move an inch.
"Say something! Why aren't you saying anything!"
Are you dead?
Guan Yuxi was still angry and rolled her eyes at him.
Leng Lie hung his head, and only after Guan Yuxi had vented her anger did he cautiously say:
"How about I go back up the mountain and dig some more? Maybe I'll find a brush washer..."
Guan Yuxi's eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"
After a while, she sighed again, "Never mind, the area around the big burial mound has been designated as a restricted zone."
Besides, the archaeological team hasn't left yet.
What if we get caught...
Leng Lie was so angry that he squatted down on the ground.
He held his head in his hands, his voice muffled and helpless, "What can we do?"
"Even if we could find it, we might not be able to afford it!"
Guan Yuxi also lost her spirit.
She kicked a small stone on the ground in frustration.
"I'm still not reconciled."
After a long pause, Leng Lie suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, "How about we take a gamble?"
I'll use the excuse of visiting the grave to be careful; nothing should happen..."
The couple huddled together and whispered to each other for a long time.
Only then did they walk away hand in hand, beaming with joy.
"Xiao Xi?"
"Oh, Secretary Du, what brings you to the city?"
Guan Yuxi's smile froze.
She hurriedly greeted him.
Secretary Du stepped on the brakes and joked, "What? Does Hong City belong to Xiaoxi now?"
"Can't I come?"
Guan Yuxi fidgeted with the hem of her clothes and smiled sheepishly, "How could that be?"
"Secretary Du is really giving me too much credit."
She acted awkwardly, completely different from before.
Secretary Du asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell?"
He glanced at his watch. "It's already noon. I'm going to eat anyway. How about we grab a bite together?"
Guan Yuxi quickly waved her hand, grabbed Leng Lie, and ran away.
"Secretary Du, I didn't bring any money with me today."
Let me treat you to dinner another day.
She looked as if she would be entangled if she slowed down even slightly.
Secretary Du was taken aback for a moment, then quickly chased after them, "I invited you, why are you running away?"
"It's just the cost of a meal; your Uncle Du can afford it."
Unexpectedly, Guan Yuxi pulled Leng Lie and ran even faster.
She quickly disappeared into a narrow alleyway where only one person could pass at a time, waving her hand and saying:
"Uncle Du, we have already eaten."
"We won't bother you any longer; we're in a hurry to get back!"
