Chapter 7: Concealment



Gu Ming has experienced it thoroughly, what it means to bring trouble upon oneself.

He would never be willing to just watch the money go out like this.

But I don’t pay...

All the money spent was used for preparation. You can't spend an afternoon shopping and end up spending money on a broken tea cup, right?

Gu Ming's face turned pale and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The boss is used to doing business and dealing with people. With just one glance, he can guess what this "sucker" is thinking.

I don't have much capital, but I still want to learn how to pick up girls.

Continuing to strike while the iron is hot: "Little brother, I see that your outfit doesn't look like you come from a poor family. Thirty thousand yuan won't buy you any loss or be cheated. Take it home and I guarantee that the elders at home will be happy."

"The woman next to you should also know that tortoise shell glaze always appreciates in value. If you keep it for a while and then resell it, you might even make a small profit."

"So many wealthy businessmen came to buy it before, but I was reluctant to sell it. It's just that I'm in a good mood today and I think you like it."

With a few words here and there, Gu Ming's face looked much better.

Li Xiujun nodded at the right moment, praising him: "Uncle San took us to your house today. I've never seen so many antiques before. This teacup can barely make up the place."

No way.

Even the elders were smiling, but Grandpa Gu was probably going to beat his butt to pieces.

If you keep a fake item at home, even if it lasts forever, the possibility of having another one of these cups is greater than the possibility of it appreciating in value.

Gu Ming still felt a little reluctant. Putting the money in his own pocket always made him feel at ease rather than buying this or that thing.

"Boss, can this cup be cheaper?"

If the price could be reduced a bit, I would take it back.

It was just a 30,000 yuan item, and the gifts he gave to his ex-girlfriends were worth only 5,000 yuan at most. What's more, he was still pursuing Li Xiujun.

Just find an excuse to coax him/her and compensate him/her with something else next time.

The boss was delighted because he knew he had fallen into the trap, but he looked furious.

"Little brother, I really think you're meant to be together, so I'm going to be clear from the start. I'll sell it to you for 30,000, and I'll take the 20,000 I'll lose as a friendship. If you don't like it, I'll just consider myself the wrong person today."

He asked the helper to put the tea cup back into the box and turned away angrily.

Li Xiujun suppressed her disgust and tugged at Gu Ming's sleeve: "It's enough for you to go shopping with me today. There's no need to buy such expensive things. I won't be able to use them."

In Gu Ming's eyes, the other person's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes. It was obvious that he was thinking more about him than what he wanted.

In his life, he had never encountered a situation where he couldn't buy something he liked, not to mention that he had more than enough money in his bag.

"Wait!" In a split second, a low growl rose from his chest to his lips: "Boss, I want this cup!"

Done!

Li Xiujun exchanged an extremely obscure smile with the boss, and while several people paid and packed up, he cleared his throat very naturally.

"Boss, why don't you just give us this hairpin, bracelet, and pocket watch?"

The boss, who was writing an invoice on a calculator, raised his head and glanced at me without saying a word.

However, the mechanical female voice of the calculator responded for him: "Three - zero - zero - zero - zero - plus - two - five - zero - equals..."

Two fifty?

Li Xiujun almost couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, which were pulled up in silence.

This curse was so comforting, it hit her right in the heart.

Thirty thousand is also paid out, and thirty two hundred and fifty is also paid out.

Gu Ming stopped her and reluctantly pulled out a thick stack of banknotes. When the boss took it, he almost couldn't pull it out.

"Little brother, please calculate carefully. This store does not accept returns or exchanges for any reason. Please count the change yourself. We are not responsible for any missing changes."

Holding a lonely green banknote, there is no need to count the change.

Looking back on my experience this afternoon, it was more magical than a dream.

Fortunately, this piece of glaze can be resold when the time comes, so I can just treat it as a pawn of my own.

With such comfort, Gu Ming felt completely relieved.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiujun jumped to his side and tried to reach out to take it.

"You gave me such a valuable gift when we first met. If my grandfather knew about it, I'm afraid he would scold me."

"How do I take care of this tea cup? You have so many antiques at home, so you should know how to take care of it, right? I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to teach me during this period of time."

Oh, right, give it to me?

Gu Ming's fingers felt cold and his eyes kept rolling.

It is definitely impossible for him to give it as a gift. He spent the money and he is not expecting to get it back.

Suddenly, a good idea came to my mind.

His brows tightened, and his chin raised slightly: "How about this, leave the cup here first, and when you want to see it, you can come to my room anytime."

This way I can ensure that the things are kept with me and I can have more opportunities to meet her.

What a perfect reason, worthy of him.

"Your hands are as delicate as catkins. My sister, you have such beautiful hands. It's a pity to use them to take care of such a broken thing." Gu Ming couldn't reach for her hands, so he could only look at her affectionately and said, "We have servants at home. Having them here is enough."

If it were a young girl with amorous feelings, she would have been deceived and lost her way.

Li Xiujun secretly vomited tens of thousands of times before she could barely maintain her shy persona.

He picked up one of the bags calmly and asked, "Is the hairpin bracelet mine? Or is it for another girl?"

The owner of the antique shop couldn't find anything to put the items in, so he just took a black plastic bag from the drawer.

Compared to the bag in Gu Ming's hand, which was covered in gorgeous packaging with huge logos, this bag was simply low-end, stingy and of low quality.

He quickly loosened a knuckle, avoiding the plague like a plague god: "There is no other girl, I said, today as long as my sister likes it, just take it."

At this point, this damn scumbag is still playing word games.

Li Xiujun, who didn't care at all, secretly opened a small hole and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that everything inside was intact.

When I walked into the store, the first thing I saw was this old pocket watch.

Compared with porcelain and jade, pocket watches are much less valuable.

In addition, due to the age, apart from a few individuals who would collect them, most collectors actually prefer to collect foreign watches with more unique shapes and more diverse types.

If you carry it with you normally, when you take it out, people will mistake it for an old antique with a braid on the back of your head.

Only Li Xiujun knew that this watch was something that the man had spent a huge amount of money to find. If the antique shop owner knew, he would regret it.

As for the hairpins and bracelets, they are just used to deceive people.
