Why didn't she realize before that Li Junyan had such a worldly-wise side?
But when I think about Li Junyan’s identity and growing environment, I feel relieved.
As a prince, growing up in the palace, he knew how to wear a mask since he was a child.
He knows exactly what to do and what to say when facing different types of people.
It’s just because I grew up, became capable, had status, and had a say, so naturally I no longer had to cater to others.
Instead, others have to cater to him, fear him, and please him.
Although I don't do it anymore, these have long since become muscle memory, and I can call them up at any time whenever I want to use them.
While Sang Jueqian was thinking, the greetings between Li Junyan and Xie Mingshan finally came to an end.
Several people finally entered the house and sat down in order of importance.
Their transaction this time was actually very formal, just a normal antique transaction.
The transaction can be done in the store, there is no need to come to such a secluded manor.
The reason why Xie Mingshan did this was probably to give them a heads-up in advance for the next transaction.
Let them think that Xie Mingshan likes to trade in secluded places where no one can see him, so that they will not be suspicious of anything strange.
The three of them went into the house and sat down for a while. Wang Chen also came in, but after Wang Chen came in, he just found an inconspicuous place and sat down without saying a word.
In this kind of situation, with the boss present and his boyfriend also around, even if they were discussing cooperation, there was no need for him, the shopkeeper, to speak up.
In fact, not only did Wang Chen not speak much, but even Sang Jueqian did not speak much either.
From beginning to end, it was Li Junyan who was communicating with Xie Mingshan.
It seemed that both of them were smiling and talking in a friendly manner. In fact, most of the time, it was Xie Mingshan who did the talking, and Li Junyan only responded occasionally.
But anyone can see that the one who occupies the dominant position between the two of them is Li Junyan.
Perhaps Xie Mingshan himself also felt it, and his expression became unnatural for a moment.
But soon, Xie Mingshan adjusted his mentality.
"Brother Li and I hit it off right away today. We have so much to talk about that it's impossible to finish. After we finish our business, we must have a good drink and chat in the afternoon."
These words are actually just politeness. The most important meaning is, stop chatting and get down to business.
Li Junyan remained calm and glanced at Wang Chen.
Wang Chen immediately understood and stood up and walked out.
Soon, Jin Yuandong and two other employees came in carrying boxes.
After moving back and forth several times, all the boxes were placed on the ground.
Xie Mingshan stood up and opened the boxes one by one to check what was inside.
Although these things can be considered antiques, they are actually very recent.
Some are from the Republic of China, some are from the Ming and Qing dynasties. They are all common on the market and the prices are not that high.
Although there are quite a few things, their total value does not exceed 10 million.
Compared with previous transactions, this transaction is more like playing house.
After inspecting the items, signing the contract and paying the money, the matter was considered settled.
Xie Mingshan looked quite happy, and his smile was a little more genuine than before.
"Boss Sang is really a straightforward person. It's really comfortable to talk business with him."
Sang Jueqian smiled politely, "I had something to do a few days ago, so I changed the time temporarily. I thought Mr. Xie would be angry, but now that I see that Mr. Xie is not angry, I feel relieved."
Xie Mingshan waved his hand. "What are you talking about, Boss Sang? How could I be such a stingy person?"
Li Junyan looked at Xie Mingshan disapprovingly, "It was us who broke our promise first and changed the time at the last minute. This has nothing to do with whether Mr. Xie is stingy or not.
Although the cooperation has been negotiated, I would like to give Mr. Xie a small gift as an apology. I hope Mr. Xie will accept it."
Xie Mingshan was very curious, "What gift is it?"
With a status like Xie Mingshan, he has seen many good things since he was a child and has received countless gifts.
But he was still very curious. After all, Li Junyan gave him a very unusual feeling.
Li Junyan took out a long box from his wide sleeves and handed it to Xie Mingshan.
"This is an ancient inkstone. I heard from Qianqian that Mr. Xie had bought quite a few of the four treasures of the study before, so I thought he might like them, so I specially prepared this for him."
