Qiao Ruoxi blinked. "Is a fake worth making you so nervous, Mr. Gu? Or... is this actually the real thing?"
Mr. Gu choked and glanced at Mr. Luo in panic: "Nonsense, this is a fake, are you questioning my professionalism?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised the corners of her lips and said, "This antique vase is your heirloom. Of course I don't dare to question it. I just want to confirm it with you again."
Mr. Gu closed his eyes and said, "What's there to confirm? If I say it's fake, then it's fake."
"Then I feel relieved." Qiao Ruoxi said softly.
As soon as the words were spoken, there was a "swaying and crackling" sound.
Old Master Gu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the broken jade and porcelain pieces on the ground.
After a moment of silence, he covered his chest with both hands: "Qiao Ruoxi, you, what did you do!"
Qiao Ruoxi shrugged. "Sorry, I slipped and dropped it. It's just a fake. I'll compensate you."
As she spoke, Qiao Ruoxi pushed the check for one million that she had prepared in advance into Mr. Gu's hand.
Mr. Gu slapped the check and said, "Can you afford it? One million, and you can't even afford a piece of broken porcelain!"
"Oh?" Qiao Ruoxi smiled innocently. "You just said that the fakes are one million each, and if you accidentally drop them, you won't ask for compensation. With so many people listening here, are you going to go back on your word?"
Mr. Luo also smiled and patted Mr. Gu on the shoulder.
"Yes, I was a witness to this. The item was broken and I paid for it. It's just a fake. Mr. Gu, please don't make a fuss about it."
“That’s not at all…!”
"It's nothing at all."
When Mr. Gu saw Mr. Luo's brilliant smile, the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say a word.
The antique vase that had been passed down from generation to generation had already been smashed. If he said now that the vase was genuine, even if he could extort some money from Qiao Ruoxi, he would also be confirmed in his reputation as a bully of the younger generation.
Not only did he lose the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Luo, but he also had to hold a press conference in person to publicly apologize to the Pei family.
Years of business experience made him calm down quickly. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally accepted it as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Mr. Luo, you are right."
"That's right, Ruoxi, quickly deliver the check to Mr. Gu. We'll be settled now." Mr. Luo winked at Qiao Ruoxi.
Qiao Ruoxi immediately handed over the check with both hands: "Mr. Gu, please accept it."
Gu Huaqiang looked at the fragments of the antique vase heirloom that was once worth hundreds of billions of yuan, and then at the check for one million yuan that Qiao Ruoxi handed over, and his heart ached.
Everything went dark and I passed out.
"The old man has a heart disease. Hurry, go find some medical staff!" the assistant shouted hurriedly.
"Yubai, go call a doctor." Old Master Luo said hurriedly.
Watching the medical staff carry Mr. Gu away, Qiao Ruoxi felt a little guilty, but it had nothing to do with Mr. Gu, but was an apology to Mr. Luo.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
Mr. Luo had a serious expression one second ago, and the next second he burst into laughter.
"You girl are just my type. You're just like me when I was young. You're smart and responsible. I like you!"
Qiao Ruoxi blinked: "But, because of my impulsiveness, you have to sign a one-year supply agreement with Mr. Gu."
Old Master Luo laughed out loud again: "Girl, you're still thinking about me. The Gu family is famous for their jade. I had planned to cooperate with them to open up international sales channels."
"So you planned to cooperate with Gu's from the beginning?"
"Cooperation is a means to an end, but I can't stand Gu Huaqiang. He's snobbish and loves to show off. Most importantly, he's dishonest. Even if I cooperate with him, I have to give him a warning. In fact, you, Ruoxi, have helped me."
Qiao Ruoxi suddenly understood: "So you agreed to sign a one-year agreement with him, open up sales channels, and then kick him out?"
A cunning glint flashed in Mr. Luo's eyes, and he patted Qiao Ruoxi on the shoulder: "Girl, do you want to learn how to do business from me? How about surpassing Pei Lao San and becoming the richest man in China?"
Qiao Ruoxi touched her chin and said, "I prefer counting money to making money."
Mr. Luo's hearty laughter rang out again: "Interesting, you are interesting, girl!"
Seeing that it was getting late and the auction was about to begin, Mr. Luo had to see Qiao Ruoxi off.
Before leaving, Mr. Luo gave Qiao Ruoxi some final instructions.
"Old Man Gu is a narrow-minded person. He must have set his sights on you this time."
Qiao Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly: "This is not a coincidence, I have also set my sights on him."
Old Master Gu understood instantly and nodded with a smile: "Okay, remember to be careful. If Pei Lao San can't protect you, come to me, and I will definitely protect you!"
"I've taken note of Grandpa Luo's words. Ruoxi thanks Grandpa Luo first."
Looking at Qiao Ruoxi's leaving figure, Mr. Luo stroked his beard and thought for a while: "This girl, she calls me grandpa."
Luo Yubai shook his head: "Grandpa, I call you Grandpa too..."
Old Master Luo turned around and glared at Luo Yubai: "If you want to save face, go and snatch Ruoxi back to our family."
Luo Yubai: ...
Sometimes, his grandfather can be quite unreasonable.
Isn’t it human trafficking to take people back home?

After taking handfuls of medicine, Mr. Gu finally woke up.
He grabbed the assistant's collar and said, "Where's our Gu family's antique vase?"
The assistant swallowed hard and whispered, "Old man, the vase is gone, so please calm down. A vase is not as important as your body."
