Zhang Youwei pretended to be surprised and ran to Xu Damao's table, staring in astonishment at the large bottle that Xu Damao had carefully placed on the table.
"Oh my, what a treasure! What a treasure! It's really a treasure!" Zhang Youwei muttered excitedly to himself.
Xu Damao nodded with great satisfaction. It seemed he hadn't made a mistake in choosing Zhang Youwei this time; his performance was simply perfect.
If I didn't know him so well, I probably would have believed that Zhang Youwei was an antique appraisal expert.
When they arrived, Xu Damao gave Wu Yu a wink, as if to say, "I, Xu Damao, didn't lie to you, did I? Everything I said is true. I really do have treasures here."
Wu Yu was overjoyed. Looking at Zhang Youwei, who had just been serious, now looking excited, Wu Yu didn't have any doubts. Instead, she felt excited.
Judging from Zhang Youwei's appearance, you could tell that this thing must be very valuable.
Once Zhang Youwei had calmed down, Wu Yu carefully approached him and whispered, "Expert, how much do you think this thing would be worth if it were sold?"
Zhang Youwei glanced at Wu Yu with some disdain, then turned to look at Xu Damao.
"This thing belongs to him, doesn't it?"
"Hehe, that's about right. Since you're interested in this, could you please give me an estimate? Thanks for your help!"
Xu Damao gave a vague answer to Zhang Youwei's question.
Zhang Youwei carefully circled the table twice more, then cautiously picked up the bottle and examined it closely.
Then he sighed with regret, "Oh, what a pity!"
Seeing Zhang Youwei's appearance, Wu Yu's heart jumped. Could it be that this thing was worthless? Wu Yu was extremely worried.
"Expert, is there anything wrong with this?" Wu Yu asked cautiously.
Zhang Youwei shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with the item; it's an excellent piece of stuff."
"But if you want to sell him right now, you probably won't get much money!"
Upon hearing Zhang Youwei's words, Wu Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, realizing what he meant.
I thought the item was fake or worthless, but it turns out it's just worthless right now, so it's fine.
"Expert, could you please take a look? How much could this sell for now?"
Wu Yu hurriedly pressed for more information, as he naturally hoped that the more of this product he could sell, the better.
“This…” Zhang Youwei couldn’t help but subconsciously touch his chin, pretending to be thinking seriously.
"If this were 10 or 20 years ago, it could probably sell for tens of thousands of yuan, or even twenty or thirty thousand yuan!"
"But if it were now... as you all know, no one would want it for even 5,000 yuan, let alone tens of thousands!"
"I'd guess it's only three or four thousand yuan!"
Zhang Youwei and Xu Damao had already planned this; they were just trying to scam Wu Yu, which is why they quoted such a price.
"Three or four thousand yuan! Can you sell it for 4,000 yuan?" Wu Yu quickly asked.
Zhang Youwei nodded, then shook his head.
Zhang Youwei's appearance really worried Wu Yu. What was wrong with this expert? He wasn't even finishing his sentences.
"I can definitely sell it for 4,000 yuan, but I don't know when I'll find a suitable buyer!"
"If you want to sell your stuff quickly, you'll have to sell it cheaply enough!"
"3000? 2500? Or even 2000 yuan! Only then can I get the money smoothly!"
Zhang Youwei gave a casual explanation.
Then Zhang Youwei said to Xu Damao with a serious expression, "Brother Damao, if you listen to me, you should keep this as a family heirloom. Don't think it's worth much money now, but it will definitely be worth a lot of money in the future!"
"After all, things can't stay like this forever, right? In a few more years, once you sell everything, you'll probably be set for life!"
Zhang Youwei pretended to be doing it for Xu Damao's own good and tried to persuade Xu Damao not to sell the bottle.
However, these words were said in front of Wu Yu.
If an ordinary person heard these words, they would think they were for Xu Damao's good. However, to Wu Yu, they sounded like he was setting himself up for failure.
Seeing this, Wu Yu quickly interrupted Zhang Youwei: "Expert, expert, don't say such things. We'll decide whether to sell or not ourselves!"
Listening to Zhang Youwei's ramblings, Wu Yu was furious. What if Xu Damao suddenly changed his mind and refused to sell the treasure? Wouldn't she be at a huge loss?
Upon hearing Wu Yu's words, Zhang Youwei repeatedly said, "I'm so sorry, I just thought the items were too good and it would be a waste to sell them!"
"Oh, this is something that could be passed down through generations! It's a pity I'm a little short on cash lately, otherwise I would definitely have bought it!"
Hearing Zhang Youwei say this, Wu Yu became even more certain that the bottle Xu Damao had taken out was a priceless treasure.
Having made up her mind, Wu Yu pulled Xu Damao aside.
“Brother, this stuff is really good! If you give this to the boss, your deputy director position is practically guaranteed!” Wu Yu whispered to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao shook his head and said, "No, no, how can we give this to the leader directly? What if the leader doesn't know its value and doesn't know how much it's worth!"
"I think I should try to sell the stuff. That way I can give you the money directly, wouldn't that be great!"
Xu Damao wasn't just trying to fool Wu Yu. Since you're trying to scam money from me, of course I'll get my revenge.
"This...this..." Wu Yu was clearly surprised that Xu Damao would say that.
If what Xu Damao said is true, then he could indeed make some money after selling the treasure.
But if that were the case, wouldn't he not be able to get much money? Thinking of this, Wu Yu hurriedly said to Xu Damao, "No! No, Brother Damao, why don't you listen to me!"
"What if the boss likes this bottle? I can just tell him how much it's worth!"
Xu Damao shook his head firmly as before: "No, no, you have to pay real money when you ask someone for a favor!"
"Wait for me for two days. I'll try to find someone to sell this bottle! Then I can get the money for you!"
Xu Damao started making plans for Wu Yu with a serious expression.
