Chapter 82 Borrowing Money

Du Ruo counted her things in the warehouse. She no longer had to worry about jadeite, but she still had to find a few carving masters. She couldn't do it all by herself, and she couldn't do every piece by herself.

There are fewer antiques left, so she has to think of a solution. Fortunately, H City can be considered her second homeland. She started her business there in her previous life. She will go to H City with Ling in a while and make plans.

She was just thinking about the problem of antiques when her cousin Fan Jun came to visit her.

Fan Jun came to see Du Ruo several times, but he didn't meet her. The nanny at home said that Du Ruo was out and didn't know when she would be back.

He wanted to try his luck today. This time he finally stopped Du Ruo's car at the entrance of the alley.

Du Ruo rolled down the car window and looked at her cousin.

Wearing a flowered shirt and gold chains as thick as fingers, he looked like a local tycoon, except that Fan Jun also had a tattoo on his arm of an eagle spreading its wings as if ready to fly. Du Ruo couldn't tell whether he had Ling Yunzhi in mind or not, but he looked ferocious no matter how she looked at him.

Fan Jun drove an S jeep and said hello to Du Ruo: "My cousin is a very busy person. I have looked for you several times but I can't see you. How about I treat you to a meal?"

Not very good. Who goes to a restaurant so early in the morning?

Fan Jun looked at Du Ruo's expression and suddenly remembered that it was early in the morning. He touched his head and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm confused. It's not time for lunch. There is a Yuanfen Cafe in front. Shall we go and sit there?"

There weren't many people in the cafe. Du Ruo found a seat by the window and sat down. He raised his hand and asked for a cup of coffee. He said to Fan Jun, "Stop talking nonsense. Don't we know each other? Just tell me what's the matter."

Fan Jun touched his nose uncomfortably. His cousin has been a hottie since she was a child, which doesn't match her appearance at all.

Fan Jun whispered mysteriously, "I want to borrow some money from you. I heard that my cousin has made a fortune. Please give me some money first, and I will return it to you after a while when I have money."

Du Ruo touched the rim of the cup with her fingertips: "What are you going to do?"

Fan Jun's eyes widened: "Nowadays, people are making a lot of money by trading antiques. After getting them, they sell them to foreigners and make a lot of money in US dollars.

A friend of mine got a batch of goods and asked me to pick a few. I met a foreigner a few days ago and I just happened to sell them to him. This way, I can make money for free. You can lend me 100,000 yuan first, and I will return it to you within three days. "

A big-headed ghost was sent back. Although Du Ruo left her hometown early in her previous life and didn't know much about these relatives, she knew as soon as she heard that Fan Jun was being set up by a honey trap. How could he get money for free? Is there such a good thing in the world?

Du Ruo pondered for a moment and said, "I can't trust you, kid. Unless you take me to see the goods, I won't believe it even if you kill me."

Fan Jun also knew that his reputation was not very good. He had borrowed money from many people but did not get a penny back. It was only at the end that he remembered his cousin who had made a fortune.

When Fan Jun heard Du Ruo said he wanted to see the goods, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. No matter how you look at it, this means there is a way.

He clapped his hands and said, "Shall we go now?"

The two of them drove one after the other to an antique street. Nowadays, the antique business is booming. Early in the morning, there are many people strolling around the street.

Seeing that Du Ruo still wanted to stroll around the stall, Fan Jun became anxious. He pulled Du Ruo's sleeve and walked forward, telling him to get down to business.

The two of them walked to the door of a shop. Du Ruo smiled as soon as she saw the sign. She looked at Fan Jun and said, "Why didn't you tell me where you were going? Isn't this the shop owned by Du Jing's mother-in-law?"

Fan Jun also knew that Du Ruo and Du Jing were not on good terms, so he never dared to mention it. Now that he was at the gate, he could not let Du Ruo, the God of Wealth, get away.

He said with a smile: "It's a festival, don't be stingy with money. Who does it matter whose shop it is? We are here to look at the goods."

Du Ruo shrugged and said it was nothing. Since it was Zhou's shop, she had to take a closer look at the goods.

Zhou's mother was scolding a young man in the shop: "We run an antique shop, not a grocery store. Can't you be more gentle? Do you think this is a blacksmith's furnace?"

Du Ruo couldn't help but burst out laughing. When Zhou's mother turned around and saw that it was her, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

Du Ruo was the daughter-in-law she had chosen back then. Although her parents were no longer around, this girl looked smart and pretty. She would feel at ease handing over the shop to her in the future.

Unlike his daughter-in-law Du Jing, who is superficial and just a decoration.

Mother Zhou said with a smile: "Fan Jun and Ruoruo are here, please come over here, I'll have someone pour you some tea."

Fan Jun couldn't help but get a little impatient: "Aunt, let's stop beating around the bush. Can we take another look at the batch of goods I looked at last time?"

Mother Zhou was a little hesitant. She actually didn't intend to trick Fan Jun. Fan Jun had just walked into this on his own, and she couldn't tell him the whole story directly. But this silly boy actually believed it.

To put it bluntly, it is a new method that has emerged on this street. Find a few people to raise the price, and then find a fictitious buyer to give people the illusion that this product will be easy to sell and that you can make money by reselling it.

Originally, the person they wanted to trick that day was a rich man whose family owned a factory and had made a lot of money over the years. The middleman set them up, but the person who came that day was Fan Jun. The rich man was not interested, but Fan Jun was. He came several times in the past few days, which made Zhou's mother a little worried.

It is not easy to trick relatives, mainly because they may be exposed later. However, several parties are involved in this, and she cannot tell the truth to Fan Jun, so she was stuck.

But their business is trading, so why would they push away the money that comes to their door?

Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Are you going to look at just the ones from that day, or all of them?"

Du Ruo took a sip of tea and said, "Just take a look at them all. We're free anyway." As she spoke, she casually revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was emerald green and delicate, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

Zhou's mother's eyes flickered. It seemed that this girl Du had made a fortune. It was not her fault. The other person had come to her door on his own initiative. She was in business. If she didn't make money even though she had the money, she would be an asshole.

Zhou's mother went directly to the warehouse at the back. Fan Jun even gestured to Du Ruo in a low voice: "That jade carving is really a fine piece. And that bronze bell, it's even rusted. Old items all have that kind of stuff."

Du Ruo almost spit out the tea in her mouth. Her cousin, with his IQ, is still playing with antiques? There is rust on the bronze? What the hell is going on?

Fan Jun was anxious: "What I said is true. I asked people and they all have rust. Think about it, after being buried underground for so many years, how can it not have rust?"
