Li Mingxi looked around the black market but didn't find anything of interest.
Just as I was about to go back, I saw a person squatting in the corner.
I saw a lot of small objects placed in front of the man, which looked quite interesting from a distance.
Thinking that he had never bought any small things before, Li Mingxi thought about buying some to take home as decorations.
Li Mingxi walked to the stall and prepared to take a look.
Li Mingxi immediately picked out a small horse-drawn cart figurine and asked, "How much is this?"
"Ten dollars each."
After hearing this person's offer, Li Mingxi felt it was a bit expensive.
Ten dollars each is enough to buy yourself a big antique!
But Li Mingxi really liked it, so she tried to bargain, "Can you give me a lower price? If you can, I'll buy it all for you."
She just roughly counted and found that the man had put out a total of twenty small ornaments. Even if she bought them all, they wouldn't be very expensive.
And don't underestimate this thing, it does have some value. If you buy it yourself and then resell it when you have the chance in the future, you won't suffer any loss.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi looked at the man setting up the stall expectantly.
She thought the man opposite would be very happy to hear that she had taken care of everything.
After all, if he sells out sooner, he can go home sooner. Besides, at this time, not many people would buy such useless little ornaments.
But the person on the other end flatly refused, "I can only sell you one at most."
Hearing this, Li Mingxi was furious.
He said directly, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Isn't it good enough that I'm covering everything for you?"
Huo Jingchen was also annoyed, but in order to prevent anyone from getting suspicious, he had to change his statement.
"Comrade, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but I have a rule here that one person can only buy one at most."
Huo Jingchen was heartbroken. He had specially displayed his collection of antiques just for the purpose of completing the mission.
He originally thought that he was in a corner and no one would notice him, but he was still discovered.
It would have been fine if she had just discovered it, but this woman came up and wanted to buy all of his things.
If all these things were bought by this woman, why would I still be waiting here?
Besides, these things were collected by him with great effort over the years. Which one of them was not his treasure?
He didn't want to sell any of them, but if he really didn't sell them to this woman, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Therefore, in order to successfully complete the task, he had to give up reluctantly.
But it would definitely be impossible for him to sell everything to this woman.
Therefore, he made up this reason at random, hoping that this person would give up after hearing what he said.
After all, ten dollars is not cheap.
But the woman didn't leave. She was still squatting in front of the stall, playing with the pony ornaments in her hands.
Li Mingxi looked at the ornament in her hand while thinking about the man's words. Isn't this a limited edition sale in the future?
This person knows a lot about hunger marketing, but is he using this method wrong?
What he sells are antiques, not anything else.
No matter how much hunger marketing you use, in this day and age, no one will buy it.
However, even if she thought so, it was none of her business, and there was no point in her interfering so much.
Besides, she didn't look at it carefully just now, but now she sees it clearly, it is a very rare bronze artifact, which is hard to come by.
If you miss this, you may not have the chance to meet him again in the future.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit more expensive. Ten dollars is nothing to her anyway.
After figuring it out, she spoke directly, "Since you said so, I won't embarrass you. I want this."
At this moment, Huo Jingchen felt his heart bleeding. He didn't expect that the woman opposite him really wanted to buy it.
But since he had said it, he had no choice but to reluctantly pack the things for the woman and accept the money she handed to him.
As soon as Li Mingxi took the things, he walked out of the black market carrying the basket on his back.
Huo Jingchen's face turned black as he looked at the woman who took away his favorite ornament.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Thinking about this mission, Huo Jingchen tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
It turned out that the reason why Huo Jingchen went to the black market to sell things this time was because he had a mission.
Some time ago, a bronze sword appeared in Lushan County.
According to reliable sources, a group of people will secretly transport this sword abroad.
His mission this time is to stop this group of people from transporting these cultural relics abroad.
This time, the person Huo Jingchen was going to stake out was called Brother Bin, a famous cultural relic dealer in the black market of Lushan County.
Brother Bin is the main person selling the bronze sword this time.
This Brother Bin has been around for many years, and almost no one knows what he looks like.
Huo Jingchen spent some effort to find out that Brother Bin liked to collect some cultural relics and antiques on the black market.
For this purpose, Huo Jingchen specially took out his own collection with the purpose of luring him into the trap.
But he had been lurking in the black market for several days and hadn't seen anyone interested in what he was selling, except for the woman just now.
The same thing happened today. Huo Jingchen waited until the black market ended, but he still didn't see the legendary Brother Bin.
Huo Jingchen felt that nothing could be worse than today. Not only did he not catch anyone, but he also lost something.
So, he returned to his residence dejectedly.
As soon as Zhu Qiang saw him coming back, he immediately came to greet him.
"How's it going, Captain? Did you snoop on anyone today?"
Huo Jingchen didn't say anything, just glanced at him lightly.
Seeing what he meant, Zhu Qiang immediately understood that this meant that no one was blocked.
So he complained directly, "Hey, Captain, if you ask me, this mission is a thankless job. Team Three isn't doing this, but you insist on doing it!"
Hearing what Zhu Qiang said, Huo Jingchen's face showed annoyance and he stared at Zhu Qiang coldly.
Zhu Qiang didn't notice Huo Jingchen's eyes at all and continued talking to himself.
"Now it's all good. The people from Team 3 have gone directly to the south for training. I heard that after we return, they will be able to join the troops directly. By then, their team leader will be directly a company commander."
After a pause, he continued, "Tell me, if our mission this time is successful, it's fine. But if it's not, we'll definitely be criticized when we return."
Huo Jingchen: "Why don't you go back and train with Team 3, and then follow them to the company."
"Ah, no, no, it's better for me to follow you, Captain. No matter how good Team Three is, it has nothing to do with me."
Zhu Qiang quickly made the promise, blaming himself in his heart for being so mean and saying that, making the captain angry.
Zhu Qiang didn't expect Huo Jingchen to respond to him. In the past, no matter what he said, the captain just listened and never spoke. What happened?
Could it be that something happened to the captain today?
Unexpectedly, Huo Jingchen spoke again at this time.
"Well, in that case, go out and run ten kilometers."
