"Uncle Jin, don't just look at them. These pearls could fetch a good price, right?"
Seeing that Wan Jinlai was still looking at the bag of pearls and reluctant to let go, Qin Fu couldn't help but urge him on.
Upon hearing this, Wan Jinlai glared at him, then smiled broadly at Fu Wan and said:
"Young comrade, this pearl may not be as valuable as that red coral, but it should still be worth a few hundred thousand."
After saying that, he thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said with a pained expression, "If you call me Uncle Jin, I'll go all the way and acknowledge you as my niece."
I'll charge you six percent for this pearl too. I'll inform the auction house this afternoon that it will be auctioned tomorrow!
The auction is tomorrow; the timing matches what Master Ning mentioned.
Fu Wan naturally had no objections. She hadn't even bought a train ticket back yet, and she had already told Boss Fu and the others that she might be gone for about a week before she left.
As for the price, it's even lower at six percent, which is very low.
"I have no problem with that. Since Brother Qin brought me here to find Uncle Jin, I naturally trust Uncle Jin as well."
"I'll trouble you with these two items."
Fu Wan spoke calmly and slowly, showing neither the elation of suddenly receiving a windfall nor the distrust of handing over the item to Wan Jinlai.
In his years in the auction business, Wan Jinlai has seen many people sell their treasures, but it's rare to see someone as calm as Fu Wan.
He must be a young man from a well-off family.
And he's also a straightforward guy.
Thinking this way, his impression of Fu Wan improved even more.
With the matter settled, Qin Fu planned to take Fu Wan to the next stop, which was a real estate agency.
The items are not left here with Wan Jinlai; he has his own rules.
Wan Jinlai carried a small wooden box out of the house, and then took out a camera from inside.
This was the second time Fu Wan had seen a camera since she last met a newspaper reporter.
"This item is valuable, so I won't keep it safe for you. I'll take a couple of photos and take them to the auction house. You can bring it over before the auction starts tomorrow afternoon."
In general, if it's something cheaper, under 100,000 yuan, and the seller is reliable, Wan Jinlai will usually pay part of the cost upfront and then take the item away.
However, both of Fu Wan's items, whether red coral or pink pearl, were beyond his ability to cover.
So he could only take a picture of it first, using the photograph to represent the original, and let the other people in the auction house see it.
After listening to his explanation, Fu Wan understood the intention behind doing so.
So after taking the photos, she packed her things away, and then the two said goodbye to Wan Jin and left.
"Brother Qin, why is this Uncle Jin called Uncle Jin?"
After Fu Wan came out, she couldn't help but ask Qin Fu. She had just been thinking to herself, "Wan Jinlai's surname is Wan, so he should at least be called Uncle Wan, right?"
From the moment Qin Fu stepped out of Wan Jinlai's house, he was prepared for the possibility that Fu Wan had a problem.
But to his surprise, Fu Wan's first question was this, rather than something related to the two things in her hand.
What a weird thought process! (???)?
So Qin Fu was immediately stunned, and thought to himself that this girl was indeed extraordinary.
If it were anyone else, they'd probably be thinking about money all the time, and wouldn't be asking such an irrelevant question.
However, Qin Fu actually knows this!
"You know that Wan Jinlai is in the auction house business. But in previous years, the auction house business was not easy."
Moreover, many competitors came out to steal his business, so Wan Jinlai went to the Yonghe Temple to have his fortune told by the monks there. When he came out, he asked everyone he met to call him by the name starting with the character "Jin".
It's all for good luck!
Strangely enough, ever since he changed how he addressed people, business seems to have improved considerably!
As the auction house's business flourished, Wan Jinlai's commission fees also soared, naturally making him a fortune.
However, although this guy loves money, he is also a shrewd person and can handle all kinds of industries.
Therefore, Master Ning naturally had some influence with him.
Hearing this, Fu Wan felt grateful. If she hadn't met Qin Fu and Master Ning, she would have taken many detours.
Thinking this way, she was even less willing to waste Qin Fu's time.
"Brother Qin, the auction house business is almost done. Why don't you go ahead and take care of it, and I'll wander around by myself!"
Qin Fu shook his head. "Alright, Third Master instructed me to take you to a real estate agency. If I don't do a good job, I might get a scolding."
He spoke the truth, so Fu Wan didn't say anything more.
Just as their car turned the corner, they narrowly avoided hitting someone.
"Don't you have eyes to look where you're going?!"
Qin Fu slammed on the brakes, and Fu Wan nearly hit her head.
But when she looked at the apologetic person in front of the car, she was completely shocked.
"Bai Qianzhou?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Bai Qianzhou looked in surprise.
"Ah Wan?"
What are you doing here?
The question asked in unison startled both of them. Bai Qianzhou glanced at Qin Fu, who was looking at her with a gossipy expression, and then looked at the car behind her where there was no one else. She instantly misunderstood and a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes.
However, he concealed it well. "I was sent to the capital on some official business. Awan, and who is this?"
Before Fu Wan could introduce them, Qin Fu stepped forward and punched Bai Qianzhou hard in the fist.
"Good lad, you don't even recognize your sixth brother anymore, huh!"
Sixth Brother?
Bai Qianzhou carefully examined Qin Fu before realizing where that sense of déjà vu came from.
"Brother Fu Liu?"
"It's me, kid. You've gotten sillier in the years we haven't seen each other."
Qin Fu patted his shoulder and asked with concern, "How are you? You weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Bai Qianzhou shook his head, then stepped back towards Fu Wan.
"Ah Wan, how do you know my sixth brother?"
That's a long story, and Fu Wan couldn't say much right now, since they were still stuck in traffic on the main road.
There weren't many cars around at that time, and there were basically no cars behind them, otherwise they would definitely have been cursed at by their ancestors.
"Let's get in the car and talk first. It's not good for the car to be stuck in the middle of the road."
That makes sense.
Qin Fu immediately beckoned the two to get in the car, "Xiao Zhou, if you're not busy, get in the car. After A-Wan buys the house, I'll treat you to dinner."
Ah Wan, why do you call Sixth Brother so intimately?
If he remembered correctly, Sixth Brother should be married. Could it be that he lied to Fu Wan?
Bai Qianzhou's face instantly turned red with anger, his fists clenched as if he was about to deliver a heavy blow. If Qin Fu hadn't been driving, he definitely would have reached over from the passenger seat and given him a good beating.
While driving, Qin Fu didn't forget to steal glances at Bai Qianzhou's expression. He had always loved teasing this cousin since they were little, and Bai Qianzhou used to be especially fun; no matter how much he was teased, he would never cry.
Why did it suddenly turn red?
He was right after all; his younger brother had definitely taken a liking to Comrade Xiao Fu!
As someone who's been through it all, he, as the older brother, naturally had to give it his all!
