"One thousand and one...this price..."
Chen Changyuan deliberately dragged out his tone and glanced at the expressions of everyone present.
The man in Lenin's attire had a gloomy expression.
The bald fat man gritted his teeth, and the Jiefang bag was deformed by him.
"Why, too little?"
The fang-masked man tilted his head, seemingly cooperatively saying, "Name your price."
Just as Chen Changyuan was about to speak, the whistle in the distance suddenly became urgent.
The crowd in the black market began to stir, and the vendors were scrambling to pack up their things.
Someone shouted in panic: "Run! The police are coming!"
In the chaos, Chen Changyuan noticed that the man in Lenin suit and the bald fat man exchanged glances.
What are these two people thinking?
"This brother."
The bald fat man suddenly came forward and said in a low voice, "One thousand three, I'll give you one thousand three! Cash!"
The man in Lenin suit wasn't to be outdone: "One thousand five hundred!"
Chen Changyuan was not in a hurry. He said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone. This tiger skin was hard to come by. I need to think about it carefully."
"There's no time for you to think about it!"
The fang-masked man suddenly became anxious. "One thousand seven hundred! One thousand seven hundred! Are you going to sell it or not?"
The crowd in the black market has begun to flee in all directions, and the whistles are getting closer and closer.
He sighed in embarrassment, "One thousand and seventeen is one thousand and seventeen."
“Follow me!”
The man in the fang mask grabbed Chen Changyuan's wrist with astonishing force.
The man in Lenin suit and the bald fat man wanted to say something, but were glared back by the man in the fang mask.
Chen Changyuan was dragged by the man with fangs mask and twisted around in the alleys of the black market.
The whistles and noise behind me gradually faded away.
"etc,"
Chen Changyuan suddenly stopped and asked, "Where's the money?"
The fang-masked man released his wrist and pointed forward: "The money is inside, follow me in and get it."
Chen Changyuan felt that the voice of the man with fangs mask sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
He hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
The man in the fang mask led him through twists and turns, through several alleys, and finally stopped in front of a teahouse.
The teahouse's sign has faded, and the words "Spring Breeze" can still be vaguely seen on it.
"Come in."
The man in the fang mask pushed open the door.
Chen Changyuan walked into the teahouse. The light inside was dim, with only a few dim light bulbs swaying on the ceiling.
The teahouse was empty, with only a ray of light coming from the innermost private room.
The man in the fang mask motioned him to go inside.
Chen Changyuan was alert and his right hand had already quietly reached for his waist.
The door of the private room was pushed open, and Chen Changyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
The person sitting behind the tea table was none other than Old Wei from the Spring Breeze Casino.
What surprised Chen Changyuan even more was that after the fang-masked man took off his mask, he turned out to be the man in the windbreaker who had cheated him in Jishidiang yesterday.
"Oh, it's you."
Chen Changyuan sneered.
Old Wei raised his hand and motioned him to sit down. "Don't be so nervous, little brother. Come, try this tea. It's the newly picked Longjing tea this year."
Chen Changyuan didn't move: "The boss asked me to come here, isn't it just to invite me for tea?"
"clever."
Lao Wei put down his teacup and said, "I heard that you injured several of my men near Jishitang yesterday?"
Chen Changyuan's heart trembled, but his expression remained calm: "They were the first to attack."
"I know."
Old Wei smiled and said, "Those ignorant people should have been taught a lesson long ago."
The man in the windbreaker lowered his head, looking a little unhappy.
Old Wei narrowed his eyes and looked Chen Changyuan up and down, the smile on his face gradually deepening.
"Little brother, you are very interesting."
Lao Wei tapped the table lightly. "Not only is he skilled, but he's also very smart. I, Lao Wei, don't want to miss out on such a talent."
Chen Changyuan was alert in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "Boss, you are too kind. I am just a poor boy from the countryside."
"A poor boy from the country?"
Old Wei laughed heartily. "To be able to produce such a fine tiger skin and to be able to operate so smoothly in the black market, this is not something that ordinary people can do."
He leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Little brother, I think you have great potential. How about this: if you come to the city next time, come find me. You're always welcome at the Spring Breeze Teahouse and the Spring Breeze Casino."
Chen Changyuan frowned slightly: "I appreciate the boss's kindness, but..."
"Don't be so quick to refuse."
Lao Wei waved his hand. "I, Lao Wei, never seek anything from others when making friends. If you don't like it, just pretend I never said anything."
He waved his hand, and the man in the windbreaker took out a bulging paper bag from the corner.
"This is seventeen hundred yuan, the price of the tiger skin."
Lao Wei pushed the paper bag in front of Chen Changyuan and said, "You can order something now."
Chen Changyuan hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the paper bag.
He opened it carefully, and sure enough, there was a stack of big unity bills neatly stacked inside.
"Boss, this..."
Chen Changyuan was a little at a loss.
Old Wei waved his hand. "It's just the reward I deserve. By the way, can I see your tiger skin?"
Chen Changyuan thought for a moment and took out the tiger skin from his arms.
Old Wei took it and stroked it lovingly.
“What a good thing!”
Old Wei exclaimed, "This hide is so well preserved, it's obvious that it was acquired by a seasoned hunter! How did you get it, little brother?"
Chen Changyuan rolled his eyes and made up a story: "I caught it in our mountain."
"I see."
