The emperor did not understand the value of the jade pendant in modern times; he simply picked up an item at random, intending to use it to pay off a debt.
But... the shop assistant across the street clearly didn't know its value.
The pointed high heels clicked to the ground, and the sarcastic tone continued: "Sir, what era are we living in? Are you trying to barter with me? Let me tell you, our shop..."
"Xiao Hua, shut up."
Finally, the manager on the side stopped him in a deep voice, took two steps forward, and walked to Shao Linyuan's side.
The shop assistant scoffed, thinking the manager was about to play the nice guy again.
The next moment, the manager spoke politely: "Sir, I'm sorry, we haven't been able to entertain you properly."
"The clothes you're wearing aren't very nice. Please come to the VIP room and I'll personally put together a few outfits for you."
"..."
Xiaohua was very confused, "Manager, he's clearly just a poor guy who mooches off clothes..."
"You're fired. Go to finance to settle your accounts." Without giving Xiaohua a second glance, the manager turned and strode towards the VIP room to arrange for coffee to be served.
Their boss has a habit of collecting antiques, especially jade and calligraphy and paintings. The quality of that jade is so high that you can't find it on the market even with a lantern!
He needed to quickly call his boss and ask that gentleman if he was willing to sell.
Shao Linyuan was naturally willing. This thing was just a little gadget he had grown tired of playing with in his previous life, so he didn't care much about it. He even generously gave a discount: "Five hundred taels of gold."
“Okay, no problem.” The manager readily agreed and soon handed Shao Linyuan a bank card, smiling, “Sir, there are 200 million in there. There’s no password. I suggest you set one as soon as possible. Please rest for a moment, and I’ll go pick out some clothes for you.”
Shao Linyuan didn't understand, but on the surface, he still maintained a mature and composed demeanor and nodded aloofly.
After everyone left, he frowned and began to worry to himself—two hundred million…how many taels of silver is that?
Sigh, I don't know if this is enough to flatter Jinjin. Since she likes my stuff so much, then maybe...
Shao Linyuan lowered his hand and produced another painting, which was painted by a former court painter. It was highly praised by the literati of the time, who called it "a painting that contains poetry, and a painting that is more beautiful than poetry".
I guess... I can exchange it for some money.
Sure enough, another 800 million was exchanged.
The manager was so excited that he could hardly speak. He immediately asked the boss for permission to give Shao Linyuan three sets of clothes for free.
The emperor was already handsome, and now, with the hairpins removed from his hair, his waist-length white hair was tied up with a black rubber band and hung loosely down his back.
He was wearing a dark black suit, with a black and silver striped tie and a blue shirt that perfectly complemented his skin tone. From a distance, he exuded an air of arrogance and indifference.
Shao Linyuan felt a little uncomfortable, so he loosened his tie, making his prominent Adam's apple stand out even more, and his pale golden eyes became even more charming.
The manager, a man, stood to the side, his ears burning.
He picked up the most beautiful blue rose in the vase, wrapped it up, and handed it to Shao Linyuan: "Sir, if you go to see your lover at this time, you will definitely seduce him to death."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Shao Linyuan stopped loosening his tie.
Although this thing is uncomfortable, it can seduce Jinjin!
Yes, it's very useful!
"Yes, this flower is for you, symbolizing the purest love."
"Thank you." As the manager bowed to accept the flowers, he noticed Shao Linyuan's eye color. His eyes were so strange; upon closer inspection, he could even see a faint golden hue.
Colored contact lenses?
"Sir, your eyes..."
Oh no! Shao Linyuan's expression tightened. To avoid being discovered again, he immediately coughed and waved his hand: "Give me the clothes, I'm leaving."
"Oh, okay."
While the manager wasn't looking, the long-haired beauty lowered her head and sent Si Jin a handwritten message: "Where are you? Tell me quickly, I want to sneak over to see you."
