Chapter 9: What does "one finger" mean?



Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, then raised one finger.

Manager Huang's face lit up with joy: "10,000?"

Chen Yang shook his head.

Manager Huang tentatively asked, "100,000?"

Chen Yang shook his head again and said softly:

"One million!"

"1 million?"

Manager Huang flew into a rage and screamed loudly.

"Impossible! My offer is at most 500,000!"

"500,000?"

Chen Yang rebuked him.

"Is this how you, Treasure Pavilion, do business?"

The two were arguing.

It quickly attracted the attention of those around them.

Old Gu and Miss Ding naturally heard it too, and got up and came over.

at this time.

Old Gu told Miss Ding about the blue and white porcelain vase.

Ms. Ding pushed through the crowd and walked up to Manager Huang.

"Manager Huang, what happened?"

Manager Huang quickly offered an explanation.

Miss Ding looked at Chen Yang and nodded in apology.

"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, my name is Dingxiang, and I am the manager of this shop."

"On behalf of Treasure Pavilion, I apologize to you!"

"I really like your blue and white porcelain vase. I'd like to purchase it from you in my personal capacity as part of my private collection. Would you be willing?"

Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

This beautiful woman is truly stunning, ethereal and otherworldly.

If we say...

Bai Yuyan is a demon who has cultivated for a thousand years, while Dingxiang is a fairy who descended from the heavens.

It's so bad it's hard to look at.

Chen Yang didn't want to push things too far regarding what had just happened.

He said modestly:

"Miss Ding, you're too kind. Of course I'd be happy to."

"But... how much are you offering?"

Dingxiang thought for a moment and then spoke:

"700,000, what do you think?"

Chen Yang was very satisfied with the price.

after all--

Treasure Pavilion is a business that needs to make money.

but.

He's desperately short of money and has no choice but to play the role of Scrooge.

"Since Miss Ding likes it and wants to keep it as a private collection, why be so fussy?"

"Wouldn't 800,000 be better?"

Is this a negotiation?

Dingxiang smiled slightly.

As a successful businessman, one naturally wouldn't fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Mr. Chen told me not to be so petty. Why are you, as a grown man, so calculating?"

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation.

The old man on the side watched with great interest.

Today's performance was fantastic!

Chen Yang was countered, but he was not angry.

He pointed to his own attire, and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"Miss Ding can probably tell that I am a poor man, and a poor man who is desperate to raise money for medical treatment."

"you say……"

"Do I still have the right to be generous and magnanimous?"

He nodded slightly to Dingxiang.

His face was full of sincerity and kindness.

"However, I still want to thank Ms. Ding for her advice."

"If I am fortunate enough to resolve my predicament."

"In the future, I will definitely strive to become a magnanimous and elegant man!"

On Dingxiang's face.

A hint of amusement appeared on his face.

"You're quite an interesting person!"

"Since you want to see a doctor, I'll add another 80,000 yuan, making it 780,000 yuan, is that alright?"

Gu nodded secretly.

Ding Yatou has a kind heart, but she doesn't break her principles.

An item worth 800,000 was offered for 780,000.

Just right!

"Okay, deal! Thank you for your kindness and concern, Ms. Ding!"

Both of them felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

Cash on delivery.

Dingxiang took the initiative to add Chen Yang on WeChat.

Ding-dong!

Chen Yang received 780,000 yuan.

Adding the previous 260,000, the total assets have exceeded one million.

It reached 1.04 million.

The next step is to go back to our hometown and take my father to the hospital.

Preparing for surgery.

When Chen Yang left Zhenbaoge, Manager Huang was somewhat unwilling.

“Miss, we don’t need to offer such a high price. 700,000, or at most 720,000, we can definitely get it.”

Old Gu also looked at her curiously.

"Little Ding, you wouldn't have taken a fancy to..."

Dingxiang stamped her foot and said coquettishly:

"Grandpa Gu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I paid a high price to collect the porcelain vase because I genuinely like it."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that I admire that guy."

"However, it was purely out of curiosity and investment."

“I have a feeling that he will come back and bring us more precious antiques.”

"I call this... casting a long line to catch a big fish."

Do you understand?

Old Gu was deliberately teasing her.

"Oh...fishing...you're not trying to find a rich husband, are you?"

Dingxiang's face was flushed.

She stomped her foot, turned around, and left.

"Grandpa Gu is a bad person, I'm not talking to you anymore."

...

He was carrying a huge sum of money.

Chen Yang walked out of the antique street.

I'm planning to hire a taxi and head straight to my hometown.

His hometown is in Binjiang County, which is located below Jiangcheng. It is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The drive takes about an hour.

I was just about to hail a taxi.

The phone rang; it was Bai Yuyan calling.

"Yangdi, I've come to pick you up. Where are you?"

Chen Yang: "I'm on the antique street..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yuyan left with a single sentence and hung up the phone.

"Coming right away."

Chen Yang had no choice but to wait for her to come over.

Half an hour later, at the First Municipal Hospital.

Bai Yuyan led Chen Yang through the emergency room process, cutting in line along the way.

We went through all the inspection items.

soon.

The results of various tests are coming out one after another.

Bai Yuyan's face grew increasingly grim.

All the inspection data points to one result.

Chen Yang is really sick.

Terminal illness.

Late-stage bone cancer.

Her eyes grew increasingly misty.

soon.

Large tears streamed down her face.

Tears streamed down her face; she wept bitterly.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, had already anticipated this.

He pulled out a few tissues and handed them to Bai Yuyan.

"Sister Yan, life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate, you don't need to be sad for me."

Bai Yuyan shook her head.

"I don't want to!"

"You saved my life, and in the blink of an eye, you are on the verge of death, and I am powerless to help you!"

Chen Yang continued to comfort him.

"I already knew about my condition before I saved you."

"I have come to terms with matters of life and death."

Then, his tone shifted, revealing a hint of resentment.

"But don't worry, I haven't given up hope and I'm trying to find a treatment."

"Perhaps, there is always a way out."

Deep down, he hoped that the intelligence system could bring miracles and hope.

Bai Yuyan had no idea where Chen Yang's hope lay.

but.

Chen Yang's mental state is indeed quite good.

Unlike a person in despair, who is lifeless.

On the contrary, they are full of vigor and fighting spirit!

This is a good thing!

Bai Yuyan wiped away her tears.

I don't want my pessimism to affect Chen Yang's state of mind.

She secretly resolved in her heart to help her poor younger brother more.

12:30 PM.

Near the hospital, I had a simple meal with Bai Yuyan.

2:10 PM.

Chen Yang took a taxi from Jiangcheng back to his hometown.

Chenjia Village, Qianshan Town, Binjiang County.

I took a short nap in the car.

But I was woken up by a phone call.

At the Shengli Road Police Station, Captain Zhang Zhenshan reported some good news.

Zhao Hai's case has been solved.

The higher-ups attach great importance to this, and those who have made contributions will be heavily rewarded.

Zhang Zhenshan, after years of hard work, was promoted to deputy captain of the city's criminal investigation team.

Chen Yang was awarded 80,000 yuan for his meritorious report.

The money has already been transferred to his bank account.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately checked his bank account and, sure enough, 80,000 yuan had been deposited into his account.

now.

His total assets amounted to 1.12 million.

"Captain Zhang, congratulations!"

"Being promoted to deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, this must have been your long-cherished wish, right?"

Zhang Zhenshan laughed heartily.

"Thanks to you, my brother, I've finally achieved my goal of becoming a criminal investigator, catching serious criminals, and even getting a raise."

"Old Zhang, my status in the family has improved since I came home."

"Haha... Today your sister-in-law even offered to buy me a bottle of good wine to treat me."

“We used to sleep in separate beds, but today your sister-in-law said she wants to sleep in the same bed tonight!”

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.

"Congratulations!"

Zhang Zhenshan was very excited.

"Brother, I'll treat you to a drink after this busy period is over!"

"Come over to my house, and I'll have your sister-in-law prepare a couple of side dishes. We'll have a few drinks."

Chen Yang was also very happy.

"Okay, let's make it up then."

...

Chenjia Village.

Nestled against mountains and beside water, the scenery is beautiful.

"Third Uncle, you're busy!"

"Second Aunt, are you taking care of your grandson?"

"Fourth Grandfather, you've always been in good health!"

...

Chen Yang walked through the village and met many people along the way.

He greeted them one by one.

Everyone was very welcoming when they saw him.

Yet there was a sense of wanting to say something but holding back.

Chen Yang was puzzled.

What's wrong?

Has something bad happened in my family?

I quickened my pace and rushed home.

As soon as I stepped into the house.

Sure enough, a lot of people came to my house.

A huge, swarming mass!

But no one spoke.

The atmosphere was unusually heavy, eerily quiet!
