Chapter 14 People from the same family don’t enter the same house



The fastest way to make money in the antique world is to go to an auction house.

If you're lucky enough to find something good, you can resell it for several times the price. After the auction, there's a small flea market, and many people bring out items that have been sitting in their warehouses for a long time.

As for whether you find a treasure or pick up trash, it all depends on your luck.

Li Xiujun's goal was not the initial auction. She couldn't raise that much money, and even if she managed to grab the item, she would become the target of public criticism.

I'm afraid that the things will be taken away before I take a few steps.

If you find antiques in the future and polish them, you can consider selling them at an auction house.

The flea market afterwards is something you have to visit.

Although there were good and bad people, a jade pendant bought for 100,000 yuan could turn into a handful of plastic sold at a roadside stall for 5 yuan in the blink of an eye. However, based on her experience in two lifetimes, it was still unclear who was being scammed.

Li Xiujun urgently needed a job that could earn some capital during the day and have enough free time at night so that she could go to the antique market to resell and prepare funds.

In short, it is a snowball model from nothing to small money, and from small money to big money.

The problem is that in a short period of time, there are almost no jobs that allow you to accumulate capital without working overtime at night.

Fortunately, I have an omnipotent uncle by my side.

I mentioned this idea to him, but he rejected it without a second thought: "No, this incident is a lesson. You're a girl, and if something happens to you, no one will hear you even if you scream at the top of your lungs."

"I admit you were lucky last time with the Han Dynasty jade. But gambling with antiques is a game of chance. While many wealthy businessmen have made their fortunes through this, there are also those who have been forced to sell off their wealth and eventually lost their entire families."

"Call me Third Uncle, we are a family. I will cover your grandfather's medical expenses. You just need to focus on your studies."

Gu Qingming has a cold personality and rarely speaks at such length.

Li Xiujun knew that he was thinking about herself, so her brows softened, but she became more determined.

"I know. Thank you for your kindness, Uncle San. I promise you that if you encounter any problems, you will tell Uncle San as soon as possible. Okay?"

"Third Uncle also said that we are a family, and even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I can't keep using Third Uncle's money and hold you back."

In my previous life, I was filled with too many words like "Gu family's accessory" and "a useless hen that doesn't lay eggs", etc.

This time, she wanted to turn the situation around and make everyone agree that she was worthy of her third uncle.

Unfortunately, that man didn't think about it at all, and his attention was only focused on the word "thank you".

Since bringing Li Xiujun to the Gu family, he has heard too many thank yous. Perhaps the other party, from the bottom of her heart, did not get any sense of belonging at all, so she did not agree with them.

Didn't agree with him either.

His eyes were tired and dim, filled with inexplicable bitterness. "I understand. A man named Jian Chaoguo will come to see you later. He will assign you a position."

Jian Chaoguo!

He is the childhood friend of his third uncle and the only grandchild of the Jian family.

It is said that Mrs. Jane gave birth to three children in succession, all of them daughters. Her husband originally didn't want any more, but he couldn't persuade her and she got pregnant again, and it was finally a boy.

What's even funnier and more bizarre is that other families give birth to boys because they prefer boys to girls, but it's completely the opposite in their family.

His three sisters were living comfortably as rich ladies, but he was the only one who was born to be ordered around.

But the good thing about the Jian family is that they have a strong family fortune, even more generous than the Gu family. Uncle San's business has been successfully overcome by relying on the investment of this childhood friend several times.

The only shortcoming is that he is too talkative.

Every time she entered Gu's house, Li Xiujun resisted the urge to sweep him out with a broom.

Immersed in the joy of becoming rich and reuniting with old friends, she didn't even notice when her third uncle left.

Jian Guochao, ah Jian Guochao, what a pleasant name.

Gu Qingming was very efficient in his work. After a while, a burly man in a floral shirt knocked on the door.

"Who is Li Xiujun? Is Li Xiujun here? Where is she? Gu Qingming isn't playing tricks on me, is he? Li Xiujun? Comrade Li Xiujun, please say something."

Li Xiujun clenched her fists and forced herself to keep the corners of her lips raised.

Calm down, she needs to calm down!

When asking someone to do something for you, you have to bow your head. After the task is completed, you can find an opportunity to put a sack on the head of this idiot and beat him up.

She is such a grown-up, yet she is lying on the bed. Is he really stupid or so lazy that he finds it troublesome to even lower his head?

By the end of the squeak, the sound was almost weak.

Jian Guochao finally noticed someone in the room and was shocked, rubbing his heart. "Why are you so silent? You're just scaring people."

Ahhhh!

She wanted to take back what she had just said, saying that Jian Guochao was likable!

Li Xiujun rolled her eyes and replied angrily, "I just squeaked so many times, but you didn't hear it yourself. If I hadn't said anything, I'd be struck by lightning."

So what.

Jian Guochao muttered to himself, "I'm so short, who can see this?"

Where is he shorter? Lay him flat on the bed to see if he still has a height advantage.

This guy can actually make a calm and normal person so angry that he is fuming and foaming at the mouth.

She really sympathized with Jane's family.

"Are you here to complain, or did Third Uncle ask you to assign me a task? If neither, turn around and march in unison. The gate is over there. Goodbye, I won't see you off."

It's true that people from the same family are similar.

The last person who spoke to him like this was Gu Qingming.

This ferocious little girl has learned it perfectly.

Jian Guochao finally remembered his mission and cleared his throat. "Oh, right, little girl, your third uncle wants you to report to the Academic Affairs Office of Peking University the day after tomorrow. They will give you a key."

"I start work at 7:30 in the morning and finish get off work at 5:00 in the afternoon, with a two-hour lunch break in between. Is that okay?"

He had done a lot of chores to help people find jobs, but this was the first time that Gu Qingming, that old fool, actually asked him to find someone else if the little girl was not satisfied.

Is she looking for a job, or is the job looking for her?

Jian Guochao didn't dare to say this out loud. If he complained to Gu Qingming, he would be the one in trouble.

But it did not affect his silent ventriloquism.

Li Xiujun nodded, and when she asked about the salary, she nodded even more.

The time and salary were just right, beyond her expectations.

I'm so satisfied that I can't refuse.

While I am grateful to my uncle, I only regret that I can't report now.

After two days of resting and gathering her strength, she stepped onto the Kyoto University campus, feeling a sense of surrealism. This was the university where she would spend the next four years.
