Du Ruo counted her things in the warehouse. She didn't have to worry about the jade anymore, but she still had to find a few carving masters. She couldn't do it alone, and she couldn't do every piece by herself.
There are fewer antiques, so she has to think of another way. Fortunately, H City is her second hometown. She started a 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 her.
Fan Jun came to see Du Ruo several times, but he didn't meet her. The nanny at home said that Du Ruo had gone out and didn't know when she would be back.
He wanted to try his luck today, and 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 floral shirt and a gold chain as thick as his finger, he looked like a local tycoon, Jin "Ingot". However, Fan Jun also had a tattoo on his arm of an eagle with its wings spread out, ready to fly. Du Ruo couldn't tell whether he had lofty ambitions or not, but he looked fierce no matter how he looked at him.
Fan Jun was driving an S jeep. He said to Du Ruo, "Cousin, you're a busy person. I've been looking 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?
Looking at Du Ruo's expression, Fan Jun 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 lunch time yet. There's a Fate Café up ahead. Shall we go sit there?"
When they got to the coffee shop, it wasn't crowded. Du Ruo found a seat by the window, asked for a cup of coffee, and said to Fan Jun, "Stop talking nonsense. We both know each other, right? Just tell me what's going on."
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. I will return it to you when I have money."
Du Ruo touched the rim of the cup with his fingertips: "What are you doing?"
Fan Jun's eyes widened: "Nowadays, people are making a lot of money by dealing in 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 out a few. I met a foreigner a while ago and I could sell them to him. This way, it's like picking up money for free. First, lend me 100,000 yuan, and I'll return it to you within three days."
What a big-headed ghost! Although Du Ruo had 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 had been scammed. And picking up money for free? Is there such a good thing in the world?
Du Ruo pondered for a moment and said, "I don'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. Finally, he remembered his rich cousin.
When Fan Jun heard Du Ruo say that he wanted to see the goods, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. No matter what, this meant there was a way.
He clapped his hands and said, "Shall we go now?"
The two of them drove one after the other to the antique street. Nowadays, the antique business is booming. Early in the morning, there are many people strolling on 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, urging her to get down to business.
The two of them walked all the way to the door of a shop. Du Ruo smiled when she saw the plaque. She looked at Fan Jun and said, "Why didn't you tell me where you were going? Isn't this Du Jing's mother-in-law's shop?"
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 couldn't 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 cares whose shop it is? We're here to look at the goods."
Du Ruo shrugged, indicating that she didn't care. Since it was the Zhou family's shop, she had to take a closer look at the goods.
Zhou's mother was scolding a young man in the shop: "Our family runs 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 her eyes on back then. Although her parents were gone, this girl looked smart and pretty. She would feel at ease handing over the family 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. Come over here and I'll have someone pour you some tea."
Fan Jun couldn't help but get a little impatient: "Auntie, 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 walked into this on his own, and she couldn't tell him what happened directly. As a result, 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 fake buyer to give people the illusion that the product will be easy to sell and you can make money by reselling it.
Originally, the person they wanted to trick that day was a rich young man whose family owned a factory and had made a lot of money over the years. The middleman set them up, but it turned out that the person who came that day was Fan Jun. The rich young 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's not easy to cheat relatives, mainly because they will meet each other sooner or later. But there are several parties involved here, and she can't tell Fan Jun about the secrets, so she is stuck.
But their family is in business, 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 items from that day, or all of them?"
Du Ruo took a sip of tea and said, "Just take a look at them all. I'm 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.
Mother Zhou's eyes flashed. It seemed that this girl Du had made a fortune. It was not her fault. She was the one who came to her door. She was a businesswoman. She would be an asshole if she didn't make money.
Zhou's mother went straight to the warehouse at the back. Fan Jun even gestured to Du Ruo in a low voice: "That jade carving is really a good thing. And that bronze bell, it's covered with rust. Old things all have that kind of thing."
Du Ruo nearly spit out the tea in her mouth. Her cousin, with his intelligence, was still collecting antiques? Rust on bronze? What the hell was going on?
Fan Jun was anxious: "What I said is true. I asked people, and they all have rust. Think about it, buried underground for so many years, how can it not rust?"
