Chapter 244: The Heart of a Benevolent Person



Director Bai raised his chin towards the manager next to him, motioning him to go down and handle it.

It's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

Although Minister Bai's antique shop has not officially opened yet, there are many people who come here to buy things because of his reputation.

Just now when Lin Han and his friends came up, they saw several people who were hiding their belongings and waiting for the staff to identify them.

I guess the staff below were also unsure about this thing, so they asked the manager to go down.

However, this commotion made Master Bao feel somewhat disdainful.

"Minister Bai, the professional ability of your staff here is too poor. There are only a few small customers who came today, and you are not sure about this?"

Minister Bai did not answer him directly, but smiled at the few people and said: "Since there are so many customers downstairs now, let's go down together to join in the fun and let everyone get to know each other."

Minister Bai is fully capable of switching back and forth between the roles of minister and businessman.

You don't want everyone to know you all, you just want all the customers to know that behind Minister Bai stand the Xiahou family, the Bao family, and the top celebrity in the antique world, Lin Han.

So many talented people came to support us on the first day of trial operation.

Won’t business be smooth sailing in the future?

Several people came to support him today, and after hearing what he said, they all stood up and followed him downstairs.

There were actually more guests downstairs than before.

However, at a glance, one old lady with tattered clothes and gray hair was particularly eye-catching.

Obviously, the staff member just now called the manager down because of this old lady.

But when Lin Han took a quick look, he found that the old lady really didn't have anything valuable in her hand.

In front of her, on the counter, were a dozen copper coins and a few banknotes from the Republic of China period.

Looking from a distance, it has been worn very thinly. Although some surfaces are smooth, they are indeed bumpy around the edges and the quality is very poor.

Not to mention those old banknotes from the Republic of China.

The middle is worn out.

Even the corners are missing a lot.

The staff member actually said he was unsure about something like this?

Lin Han just shook his head but said nothing.

Obviously, Minister Bai, Xiahou Ji, Academician Luo, and Master Bao were also attracted by this old lady.

After all, the staff and the manager who had just been called away were all surrounding her, looking embarrassed.

Bai Tingwei walked up first.

Just as I was about to speak, the phone rang.

Maybe he was a very important person, Minister Bai only glanced at his phone.

He signaled to everyone that he needed to go aside to answer the phone.

At the same time, he made a please gesture to Lin Han.

That means that if the manager and others can't handle it, they have to ask Lin Han to handle it.

Lin Han nodded and walked towards the old lady under the gaze of Xia Houji, Academician Luo and Master Bao.

Although the old lady's eyesight was blurry and the whites of her eyes had almost turned yellow, when she saw that Lin Han was surrounded by many well-dressed people, she concluded that Lin Han must be the big leader here.

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to talk to your leader!"

The old lady threw these words to the manager, then turned to face Lin Han.

"Are you the leader here?"

"Yes, old lady, do you want to sell something?"

The old lady nodded hopefully.

When Lin Han got closer, he realized that the old lady looked completely weathered.

The clothes were a gray and white coat, which is rarely seen nowadays.

There are two blue patches on the shoulders.

It's obvious that she picked out such a neat outfit because she was going out, but the wrinkles and mothball smell of adulthood are still very obvious.

Her deep wrinkles, like the folds on clothes, covered almost her entire face.

The hands he stretched out tremblingly as he spoke were dark and dry.

Lin Han pointed to the banknotes from the Republic of China on the counter and asked the old lady, "Are these all your things?"

The old lady leaned towards the things and nodded: "These are all the things I have saved for decades... Now I am old and can't work anymore. My son is working in another place and I have no one around me... I heard them say that this is a big store and they will definitely be able to give me a lot of money."

The staff and manager behind her winked at Lin Han.

What I mean is that there is nothing we can do about this old lady. She wants to sell these things for a high price even though they are obviously worthless.

Lin Han nodded calmly at the manager.

Maybe he exchanged glances with the staff and was noticed by the old lady.

The old lady was a little anxious and asked Lin Han: "They can't tell, leader, you should tell me how much can I sell these things for?"

Lin Han looked at the several ten-dollar bills and a dozen copper coins on the counter.

There's really no need to take a second look.

He had already judged the value of these things while he was on the stairs.

These copper coins are of poor quality and are all from the Daoguang period.

There is actually no shortage of this kind of thing among the people.

One can only be sold for a dozen yuan.

Not to mention the banknotes from the Republic of China, which have no collection value at all.

Among currency collections, only those that are misprinted or extremely rare will be sold at high prices.

The old lady's banknotes are almost worthless.

Seeing that Lin Han’s judgment was the same as his own, the manager couldn’t help but shrug.

Today is the first day of trial operation. If it were any other day, they could easily give the old lady a hundred bucks to send her away.

But the old lady was very stubborn and thought that his things were worth a lot of money.

Moreover, the old lady was the first customer to come in today, so the manager didn’t want to make things too awkward and wanted to have a good start.

That's why I'm so indecisive.

Lin Han pressed his hand, signaling the manager to stay calm.

Then, he took out 5,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old lady.

When the old lady saw so many red banknotes, her eyes immediately lit up.

He quickly reached out to take it.

"Ma'am, these things of yours are OK, but their quality is average. We can only give you 5,000 yuan."

"Hey hey hey! Good good good!"

The old lady smiled happily, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and on her face were all gathered together.

He didn't even bother to answer. He took the money in his hand and counted it one by one.

As she counted, her expression gradually became sad.

In the end, he burst into tears and wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves: "This money is enough for me to live for two or three years... enough, enough... I have lived up to my original purpose."

Lin Hanxu patted her shoulder and said, “Old lady, if you have anything, bring it to me later, but try to do it while I’m here.”

“Okay, okay!”

The old lady fumbled for something in her pocket with one hand, and raised her head to look at Lin Han: "Boss, what's your last name? How can I find you in the future?"

"My last name is Lin, and my given name is Han. When you come here next time, just look for me."
