"cough."
The man standing to the side covered his lips with his hand, coughed lightly, then pulled out a chair and sat down, pushing the red jade in his hand in front of Qi Tingsong.
He said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, please examine it."
After speaking, he calmly poured himself a cup of tea without looking at Qi Tingsong. He seemed to have exceptional confidence in this jade.
Realizing that what was about to be said was not something she should listen to, Shi Xi stood up and said, "I'm going downstairs for a walk."
Upon hearing Shi Xi's words, Qi Tingsong instinctively wanted to ask him to stay.
But thinking that there was no one else here and there shouldn't be any problems, he refrained from trying to stop her.
"Don't go too far," Qi Tingsong instructed.
Shi Xi waved and disappeared from Qi Tingsong's sight.
...
Shi Xi went downstairs, and the whole street was lined with antique shops, selling all sorts of strange and unusual antiques and artifacts, some familiar and some not.
It was nightfall, and the shops on both sides of the road were decorated with red lanterns, bustling with people.
At first glance, it looks somewhat like an ancient market town.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise and glanced at the crowd around her.
He didn't see so many people upstairs, and not all the shops were open.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out nearby; it turned out that the shopkeeper was boasting about his products.
Shi Xi was immediately drawn to it and quickly squeezed to the front.
"This is the ghost token that Ruan Jingshan used to kill the dragon back then."
Shi Xi glanced at it; it was just an ordinary colored joker, the king of playing cards.
This Joker card looks quite old; it's heavily worn, and the paper is slightly yellowed.
"It's just a broken card, boss, don't try to fool me."
Someone spoke up, and the onlookers, after uttering a few complaints, dispersed.
Shi Xi glanced at the Joker card and prepared to turn around and leave to go back to find Qi Tingsong.
But he found himself unable to move, as if someone in the dark was deliberately blocking his way.
This is impressive.
If I'm not mistaken, the other party wants him to buy the Joker card?
"Young man, interested? How about buying it?"
Perhaps because Shi Xi had stayed for too long, the boss seemed surprised that someone actually believed his nonsense, so he directly asked.
Shi Xi asked, "How much?"
Five million.
Shi Xi snorted and said to the shopkeeper, "I can't afford it."
One million.
Shi Xi glanced at it and waved her hand, "Too expensive."
"Ten thousand." The shopkeeper lowered the price again.
"I have no money."
Seeing Shi Xi turn around, as if she was about to leave.
Seeing this, the boss gritted his teeth and said, "Just tell me how many you have."
"Give me whatever you have; I'll treat it as my first sale."
Shi Xi glanced at her WeChat balance, then smiled shyly: "I only have eight yuan and sixty cents."
boss:"……"
Shi Xi looked at the incredulous expression on her boss's face and found it amusing. She guessed he thought he had encountered some easy target, but it turned out to be...
Poor wretch.
The word popped into their minds almost simultaneously.
Seeing that the boss didn't quite believe her, Shi Xi took out her phone and said, "All my assets."
"..." There's just no way to deal with this poor bastard.
Just as Shi Xi had guessed, he regained his freedom after settling the bill and receiving the Joker.
He put the Joker in his pocket and was about to leave when he sensed someone approaching.
Shi Xi looked up and saw Qi Tingsong, who was still wearing the same clothes and looked rather unhappy.
Just as Shi Xi was about to speak, the other person took his hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Why did Achu run so far?" Qi Tingsong complained with a half-smile. "I've been waiting impatiently."
