"I also want to help you save some money..." Zhang Ping said hesitantly.
He Xin said frankly, "Just put the money in the bank and don't bother with anything. That will be a big help to me!"
"Then, what should we do now?" Zhang Ping worried.
He Xin said coldly, "Return the jewelry early tomorrow morning. I'll go with you."
"No, no." Zhang Ping waved her hands repeatedly, "I can go by myself, no need for anyone to accompany me."
"What if you were fooled by someone and not only did you not return the jewelry, but you also bought other collectibles?" He Xin asked.
Zhang Ping hesitated, "No..."
He Xin didn't trust her and insisted on accompanying her, "What's wrong with taking a day off? Isn't it just a deduction of one day's salary? The money you wasted is enough for me to work hard for a year!"
"I just want to make back all the losses I've made in the past." Zhang Ping was embarrassed. "If you have something to say, just talk nicely. Don't be so loud. Look at other girls. Which one is as fierce as you?"
Is this still her fault?
If her mother hadn't been greedy and fell into the trap, would she have been angry?
He Xin laughed at herself, "That's because they have a mother who doesn't take advantage of small things! They don't have to worry about their family going bankrupt at any time."
After saying that, he quickly returned to his room, not even bothering to eat.
Zhang Ping sat on the sofa, looking self-blaming and annoyed.
**
In the room, He Xin was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached everywhere.
It's not the first time.
Every time I fall into a trap and get cheated of money, I swear that I will never do it again. But the next time, I can't help but fall into the trap again.
I used to lose tens of thousands at a time, but now I am actually stupid enough to borrow money.
The most annoying thing is that her reason for being deceived is always "for my daughter".
He Xin thought, how many times has she told me this? No need! Why can't I listen?
When I was upset, a little man in a suit appeared on the desk.
"It's you." He Xin caught a glimpse of it and couldn't help but sit up and sighed, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would still be kept in the dark. Thank you."
Yun Luo, "..."
Before she could do anything, the host resolved the matter himself.
What is the principle behind the crappy program matching the host?
Yun Luo fell into deep thought.
"You said you were here to help?" He Xin asked.
Yun Luo nodded, "Yes."
He Xin's eyes lit up, full of expectation, "Can you brainwash my mother so that she won't be so stupid?"
Yun Luo: This puts the system in a difficult position.
Seeing that the man in the suit remained silent, He Xin realized that she was just daydreaming.
"So what can you do?" she asked.
"When the opportunity arises, guide the host to capture it." Yun Luo replied.
He Xin was silent for a long time before asking, "Is this the same thing about teaching people how to invest and make money?"
Yun Luo, "..."
What she teaches is serious investment, which is different from those scams!
Yun Luo wanted to explain further, but He Xin no longer had the patience to listen, "I'm sorry, my mother has tortured me so much that I'm almost traumatized."
“I’m not going to make any risky investments.”
"Save money, buy a house, buy financial products, and live a stable life. That's all."
Yun Luo thought about it and gave a suggestion, "Hard work is also an investment."
This sounds strange.
He Xin glanced at the system in surprise and said solemnly, "I will."
**
Early the next morning, He Xin came with her mother.
As soon as we entered, we saw the magnificent decoration inside the store, which gave a sense of wealth.
Zhang Ping pulled her daughter and whispered, "I've been thinking about it all night, but I still don't think it's a scam. Maybe you're just being too suspicious? They don't need money, there's no need to lie to them."
He Xin said, "How could I deceive you if I'm not pretending to be so high-class?"
Zhang Ping was speechless.
As we were talking, a salesperson came up to us and greeted us with a smile, "Sister Zhang, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Seeing her daughter's firm attitude, Zhang Ping had no choice but to say, "Xiao Jiang, I don't like these dragon and phoenix gold ornaments. Please help me return them."
Xiao Jiang was surprised, "Sister Zhang, this is a masterpiece by a master, it has great appreciation potential! It won't be a problem for the price to increase three or four times in the future! Others want to buy it but can't, you finally got it, how can you bear to give it up?"
Zhang Ping had no way of expressing her pain.
She didn't want to do that, but her daughter was watching.
He Xin interrupted impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, return it, I don't want it even if the price increases tenfold."
"Who is this?" Xiao Jiang asked puzzledly.
Zhang Ping introduced him, "This is my daughter He Xin."
"Hello, Miss He." Xiao Jiang was wearing a suit and looked very refined. "You may not know much about collectibles. How about I give you a brief introduction?"
"No need." He Xin handed over the gift box containing gold jewelry, "Return it. I'm in a hurry."
"Ms. He, this 'Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix' jewelry is very rare. I have a good relationship with Sister Zhang, so I specially reserved a set for her. If you return it now, it will be too late to regret it in the future." Xiao Jiang persuaded earnestly.
"A complete set of jewelry includes couple rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. It is suitable for collection or as a dowry."
"According to conservative estimates, the price of jewelry can double in one year, and triple or quadruple in two years. This is a rare opportunity, so you must consider it carefully."
He Xin sneered, "Wouldn't it be better to just take 200,000 yuan in cash as a dowry? 220,000 yuan to buy three or five golds, am I crazy?"
Without waiting for Xiao Jiang to refute, she suddenly raised her voice and deliberately said, "What's wrong with this store? When I bought it, they said that I could sell it back to the store if I didn't want it. But when I really wanted to return it, they made all kinds of excuses and refused to return the money. Are they a scammer?"
It was still early, and there were only two or three elderly customers in the hall. Hearing this, he was immediately shaken, "It sounds so good, but it turns out it's all a lie?!"
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Xiao Jiang was very anxious and was busy explaining, "The price of collectibles has fluctuated a lot recently. If I sell it back to the store now, I probably won't get the full principal back. I'm also considering Sister Zhang..."
What? I can’t get back my full principal?
Zhang Ping's eyes widened, and she held onto Xiao Jiang's sleeve tightly, "That's not what you told me at the beginning!"
"He said he could make 300 yuan a week and 13,000 yuan a month. He also said it was a great opportunity to make money and we must not miss it."
"What are you talking about now? Not only did you not make any money after two weeks, but you are also losing your capital?"
Xiao Jiang immediately cried out, "Sister Zhang, look at what you said. I did remind you at the beginning that investing is risky and you need to be cautious when buying and selling."
"The market will fluctuate, and there is a very small possibility that the selling price will be lower than the buying price. But these are temporary, and the price will go back up in a month or two."
"How about this? You take your daughter home first, and then return the jewelry after a couple of days when the price goes back up?"
Zhang Ping didn't know what to do. She looked at her daughter and tried to negotiate, "How about we go back first?"
He Xin looked at her mother, speechless.
Fortunately, she didn't come alone, otherwise she would have been fooled by a few words and sent back home directly.
"You seem to have misunderstood." He Xin sneered, "I came here because I suspected that you set up a scheme to defraud the elderly, so I want to return the items at the original price."
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Just tell me directly whether you will refund it or not."
"If you don't give it back, I'll call the police and tell them what's going on!"
He Xin's attitude is extremely tough and she looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Xiao Jiang made a bitter face and complained to Zhang Ping, "Sister Zhang, please try to persuade our daughter. It's hard for us to do anything with her like this."
Zhang Ping, "..."
If they could be persuaded, the mother and daughter would not be standing here right now.
"If you're nicer, you deserve to rip me off." He Xin was too lazy to say more and just took out her phone and dialed, "Hello, is this the police station? There's a fraud gang here that cheated my mom out of more than 200,000 yuan..."
The manager appeared at the right time and said, "Ms. He, we are a formal collectibles investment company. The price of any product will fluctuate every day."
He Xin glanced at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to withdraw or not?"
The manager showed a helpless expression, "Due to your special situation, if you want to return the 'Dragon and Phoenix' series jewelry to the store, we can make an exception and accept it."
He Xin put down her phone and said, "Then help me with the formalities."
"Okay, please sit down and wait for a moment." The manager took the gift box and left.
Zhang Ping sat on the sofa, looking a little uneasy, "Xinxin, why do you make things so awkward? We can just come over in a couple of days, there's no need to make things difficult for them..."
He Xin was even more speechless. "First, they said that the price could increase three or four times, so it's best not to withdraw. Then they said that the market price has dropped recently, and they can't withdraw the full amount. This is just to drive people back and force them not to withdraw. Why can't you understand?"
She was sold but still helped others count the money. This is her mother!
Zhang Ping said in a muffled voice, "I think the people in their company are pretty good, they don't seem like scammers."
He Xin: "No one looks like a liar, so it's easy to deceive."
Zhang Ping didn't say anything, feeling angry.
Who would admit that they are stupid?
Zhang Ping even felt that she had finally found a reliable opportunity to make money, but it was ruined by her daughter.
He Xin was actually helpless.
If she is sure it is a scam, she will report it to the police. The problem is that collectibles are considered an investment. Whether it is worth the price or not, everyone has different opinions.
If a collector is particularly fond of a product and is willing to pay 300,000 yuan for a product originally worth 60,000 yuan, it is difficult for the police to hold him responsible if he is willing to do so.
So when I called the police just now, I was actually just pretending to scare the other party, and I didn't even dial the number.
After waiting for a while, the manager came over with the agreement and asked Zhang Ping to sign it.
After completing a series of formalities and receiving the bank transfer, He Xin breathed a sigh of relief - everything was fine.
"Take care, bye." The staff were polite until the last moment.
On the way home, Zhang Ping was sulking alone and didn't want to talk to her daughter.
Unexpectedly, He Xin was also angry. "I agreed to return the gold jewelry, but they just fooled me and I forgot why I came here."
"You still want to learn how to make a lot of money? You've already eaten all your bones!"
"This is the last time I'll clean up your mess. If it happens again, I'll move out."
There was an indescribable tiredness in her voice; He Xin was really tired.
She is different from her mother.
My mother is a retired worker and doesn't have to work. But what about her? She runs around all day and is exhausted. When she gets home, she just wants to sleep.
I have to deal with the mess during my break time and I can't take a break even if I want to.
When she heard that her daughter was planning to move out, Zhang Ping was shocked and asked loudly, "Your father passed away early, and there are only two of us at home. If you move out, what should I do?"
He Xin: "If I continue to live at home, I'm afraid I'll become depressed and even commit suicide."
Anyway, my mother will be left alone in the end, so I might as well give myself a chance to survive.
"Why are you talking about suicide for no reason?!" Zhang Ping was anxious.
Seeing her daughter's indifference and her face full of despair, she finally gave in and said, "I won't make trouble anymore, is that okay?"
The author has something to say:
The collecting world is very complicated, and most people cannot correctly assess the value of collectibles.
