Antique Street is mostly bustling with people during the day, but around dusk, the flow of people decreases.
Su Lianyi calculated the time, missed the peak period, and strolled leisurely along the antique street.
I also bargained with the antique shop owner on the way.
"Boss, your pottery is really nice."
"Is this from the Western Zhou Dynasty? I think it's from last week."
"What? You said this belongs to the Qin Emperor?"
"Do you think I can't read? It says 'Made in Qinhuangdao' on the back!"
Su Lianyi visited several antique shops, picking and choosing, and even had the energy to bargain and joke with the owners.
But after walking around for a long time, she didn't buy any antiques.
Seeing that she was young and beautiful, the bosses all wanted to make a killing out of her.
But Su Lianyi's vision was even sharper than that of ordinary antique dealers, and she made those bosses suffer setbacks.
“I’ll go to this store again.”
Su Lianyi looked around twice, then set her sights on an antique shop and went in to pick and choose items one by one.
However, Lin Youde, who was following behind her, was scratching his head anxiously.
That evil ghost is still at large, how can Master Su still be in the mood to go shopping and bargain?
What if we delay any further and cause greater losses?
Thinking of this, Lin Youde couldn't bear it any longer, but he knew Su Lianyi's stubborn temper and would only respond to soft words and not hard ones, so he could only follow her and coax her.
"Master Su, how long are you going to continue strolling around this antique street?"
"How about you calculate where this evil ghost is?"
Su Lianyi glanced at him, then turned and changed direction, continuing to select antiques in the store.
"Hey, how about this, I take you to buy some tangerines?"
Lin Youde remembered that Su Lianyi ate half a bag of tangerines in one breath after dinner, and coaxed her gently to follow him and leave to meet up with the personnel from the special department, and be on standby at all times.
"don't want."
Su Lianyi didn't really want to pay attention to him.
Lin Youde also turned to her and continued to coax her, "Just come with me. We have everything over there. If you need anything, we can always make it up to you..."
Just as Lin Youde was trying his best to coax Su Lianyi to go with him, the owner of the store came back from the back room.
The boss saw an unkempt and smelly old man following a young and pretty girl at the door of his shop.
He even kept saying things like "Follow him" and "You can get whatever you want by following him", which made the boss immediately furious!
"Hey, hey, hey, you old bastard!" The shop owner immediately grabbed Lin Youde and angrily demanded, "Get out! Don't act crazy in front of my shop!"
"What?" Lin Youde, who was suddenly caught and driven away, was also stunned for a moment, then became even more angry and said: "Hey, you opened the door to do business, why can't you let me in? Are you discriminating against old men?!"
Seeing that he dared to retort shamelessly, the shop owner became even more angry: "I don't discriminate against old men, I discriminate against you!"
"You're already so old, and you still dare to do such a shameful thing! Ugh, disgusting!"
Lin Youde pointed at himself in disbelief, "I'm disgusting? I'm so handsome, even when I'm old I'm still a handsome old man, are you jealous?!"
"Wandering around in front of your store is considered inappropriate? Then how inappropriate is your store?!"
Lin Youde and the shop owner argued endlessly for a while, and even started a battle of national quintessence.
But Su Lianyi didn't pay attention to the dispute at the door of the store. She was concentrating on choosing antiques.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on an old Bagua plate.
"Boss, how much is this...?"
When she turned around, she saw two people cursing at the door of the store.
"...You are an old pervert!"
"You have defamed my upright and handsome soul!"
"You're an old pervert following after beautiful girls!"
"You have slandered my upright, handsome, and lovely soul!"
Su Lianyi: "..."
She covered her face with one hand, reluctant to admit that she knew Lin Youde, but after listening for a while, she realized that something was wrong with the two of them.
"You two, please stop for a moment."
She had to interrupt the heated argument between Lin Youde and the shop owner.
Su Lianyi explained to the shop owner: "I'm sorry, he's not an old pervert, he's a friend I know."
"Ah?" The shop owner widened his eyes in shock.
He looked at Lin Youde, the unruly old man, and then at Su Lianyi, such a young and beautiful girl. Could these two be friends?
Lin Youde puffed out his chest and snorted coldly.
Su Lianyi also explained to Lin Youde: "The owner also has good intentions. After all, with your appearance, it is easy to be misunderstood."
Lin Youde's defense suddenly broke down: "...Does my image look so bad?!"
She briefly explained to the two people that Lin Youde was indeed her friend and that he had no ill intentions in asking her to leave, but that the unit needed her help with something.
"...Okay, I was being arbitrary."
The owner gradually calmed down and admitted that he had misunderstood.
Lin Youde was also a little embarrassed. The way he looked just now, it seemed that he really couldn't blame others for misunderstanding him.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Su Lianyi continued what she was saying.
She pointed to the Bagua plate in the corner and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
"It."
The shop owner took a look at the Bagua plate. Although it was also an antique he had found, its significance and value were far less valuable than other antiques.
Moreover, it seemed that Su Lianyi just wanted to buy something to compensate herself and settle the matter peacefully.
Seeing that it was getting late, the shop owner was too lazy to overcharge the customer and just casually mentioned a price, wanting to close the shop early and take a break.
"Okay, I'll buy this one."
Su Lianyi thought the price was pretty good and immediately nodded in agreement.
Just as she was about to pay, Lin Youde quickly waved his hand, wanting Su Lianyi to swipe his card.
"Let's ask the company to reimburse us so we don't waste money!"
Lin Youde, a veteran in the department, winked at her and taught her the art of reimbursement.
"Think about it, you bought this gossip plate for our department's mission. How can we ask you to spend both effort and money?"
Lin Youde tactfully persuaded them, "We should at least show our sincerity."
Su Lianyi tutted her words twice, and was indeed persuaded: "Uncle Youde, the old ones are still the wisest. I will learn a lot from you in the future!"
Lin Youde puffed out his chest with great satisfaction.
After buying the Bagua plate, before Su Lianyi could even start using it, Lin Youde’s phone rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed Quan Jianye calling.
"Hey, we've found a few strange places that meet the requirements. We want you to ask Master Su to take a look right away."
Lin Youde immediately nodded in agreement.
After hanging up the phone, he relayed Quan Jianye's words to Su Lianyi.
"OK."
Su Lianyi also felt that the time was right and readily agreed.
She bought some yellow paper and cinnabar as a backup, and followed Lin Youde to the nearest location.
