Wu Haiping sneered, "Even if I were to sell it cheaply, I wouldn't get this price. If you're not genuinely interested in buying, then you'd better leave."
The leader was a man in his thirties with a scar above his eyebrow, who looked menacing.
"Hmph, don't be stubborn. You'll be begging me later."
He kicked the wooden shelf next to him and said, "Let's go."
Wu Haiping ran over with a pained expression and helped the frame up; it was something he had gotten back from an old farmer.
Seeing that there was no damage, he felt relieved, arranged the items properly, and sighed.
Seeing that Xiaoli was still standing in the store and had not left, he couldn't help but feel the urge to confide in her.
"Sir, please excuse my poor appearance. I'm selling this shop. If you see anything you like, I'll give you a 20% discount, which is the original price."
Xiao Li also had some ideas. She was worried about making money. Although she had plenty of gold and silver in her spatial storage, it wasn't convenient to take them out and use them directly.
Moreover, she has to go to school and doesn't have much time to manage these things.
"Boss, what happened to you?"
Wu Haiping brought over two stools and told them his story.
It turns out that this shop was passed down in the Wu family. In his generation, his parents both died in accidents, leaving him all alone.
Two years ago, he met his wife Fang Qing through a blind date. Fang Qing was beautiful and charming, and the two were very satisfied with each other, so they got married soon.
Soon after their marriage, they had a son named Cancan, and the family lived a happy and fulfilling life.
However, not long ago, Can Can fell seriously ill, and the medical expenses alone amounted to one million yuan. She is still in the hospital, and the follow-up expenses will also need to be covered.
The antique business has not been easy these years. After getting married and having children, he spent some of his savings, and after paying medical expenses, there was almost nothing left.
He desperately needed money, so he had no choice but to turn to this shop.
The man who just arrived is named Li Erniu. He knew that Wu Haiping's family was in trouble and he needed to sell his shop, so he brought people to buy it, but the price he offered was extremely low.
Wu Haiping was naturally unwilling to sell, so he led his men to cause trouble in the area, preventing his shop from selling.
Wu Haiping is now in a dilemma. His family needs money, but he can't sell his shop. This is a really tricky situation.
Xiao Li felt that things were not so simple. She recalled Li Erniu's appearance. He was a person with high cheekbones and tightly packed eyebrows and eyes. Such a person was the most stingy.
Also, his ears protrude outwards, typical of people with protruding ears. Such people are rebellious, don't listen to advice, and won't give up until they achieve their goals.
Xiao Li had already vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.
“Mr. Wu, if you want to sell the shop, I’m willing to do so.”
Wu Haiping was overjoyed, but he also hesitated.
"Young lady, are you sure you can make this decision? Why don't you have your parents take a look?"
Xiao Li nodded, "There are no adults in my family anymore, so I can make the decisions."
Wu Haiping was still somewhat worried when he thought of Li Erniu's brutality.
“That Li Erniu is extremely unreasonable; I’m afraid you can’t handle him.”
Xiao Li picked up a stone and crushed it into powder.
Wu Haiping was surprised, but then breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Li thought about it and decided to remind him anyway.
"Mr. Wu, there's something strange about your business. You'd better investigate before deciding whether to sell the shop."
Wu Haiping was taken aback. What did this mean?
Xiao Li smiled and said, "You might have been set up. You should get a paternity test done first."
Wu Haiping fell silent. He couldn't believe things had turned out this way.
Xiao Li left her phone number before leaving the shop. Wu Haiping then closed the shop as well and went to the hospital.
Xiao Li looked at several more shops, but didn't find anything she liked. It seemed she wasn't the only one who knew how to appreciate quality.
With a month left before registration, Xiaoli took the opportunity to explore the neighborhood and familiarize herself with the environment.
Three days later, Wu Haiping called, and Xiaoli arrived as promised.
"Mr. Wu, are you still going to sell the shop?"
Wu Haiping nodded. It was true that the child was sick, and he couldn't ignore him, even though he wasn't his own child.
“Fang Qing has already run away. She abandoned the child at the hospital. I can’t just leave him here.”
Looking at the open-minded man in front of her, Xiao Li felt immense admiration.
"Mr. Wu, how much are you willing to sell it for?"
Wu Haiping felt a little embarrassed. Li Erniu had driven the price down too low, and he felt it was particularly unfair to ask for one million, but his child needed the money for surgery.
"One million, what do you think? If that's too much, then... how about nine hundred and fifty thousand?"
Xiao Li was taken aback. She had seen the shop before, and most of the items inside were genuine. The total value of the goods alone was more than a million, so the price was really cheap.
"One million it is."
Wu Haiping smiled, took Xiaoli to transfer the property, and after completing the formalities, Xiaoli transferred the money to him.
In the past few days, Xiaoli had prepared the money. She sold a top-quality jade bracelet and got five million.
Before leaving, Xiaoli invited Wu Haiping to be the store manager. He neither agreed nor refused.
“Miss Gui, once I’ve finished dealing with things at home, if you’re still willing to hire me then, I’d be happy to work at the store.”
