Fu Yaozu pondered for a while. Looking at the attitude of the pawnshop owner, it was obvious that he wanted to lower the price and force him to pawn the item.
But this ancestral jade pendant must not be lost in his hands!
It is absolutely impossible to die!
But what’s the use of earning so little money?
At best, he could barely survive for ten days or half a month. After that, not only would he not be able to redeem his belongings, he wouldn't even be able to afford food.
This was not at all what he expected.
Now the suggestion of this strange girl, which allows him to redeem the things in the future, really makes him excited!
But, can we believe what this girl says?
Even if he signed a relevant contract with the other party, the girl was alone. Even if he wanted to redeem the things, where would he find her?
What if the other party says that the things are damaged and have been thrown away long ago? What should he do then?
Fu Yaozu is a little conflicted now, as he doesn't have many options.
Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Xu Nanxing did not intend to continue to persuade him. After all, although the jade pendant was good, it was not so necessary to buy it.
After all, it's just something from the Qing Dynasty.
It’s not that Xu Nanxing looks down on Qing Dynasty antiques, but he feels that there are too many things left, whether from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China.
Old items that are not rare do not have such a strong appeal to Xu Nanxing.
If she didn't need the power of the jade, she might not have the audacity to interrupt the negotiations between the buyer and the seller.
Anyway, Xu Nanxing didn't care whether Fu Yaozu was willing to sell the things to her or to a pawnshop.
Just when the situation here was still at a stalemate, two more people came in from outside.
He was a middle-aged foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a high-end suit and looked quite rich.
The other man was a Chinese man with black hair and dark eyes. He smiled ingratiatingly at the foreign man and said in English, "Mr. Smith, this is a famous local pawn shop. It has a history of over a hundred years, so there must be a lot of old items in there! Don't you like Chinese antiques? Come here! We're sure to have what you're looking for!"
After that, he turned to the pawnshop employee in Chinese and said, "Hey! Do you have any sense? Didn't you see the big boss coming? You didn't even bother to greet him properly? Can you handle offending Mr. Smith?"
Tsk tsk, this couple looks so fawning to foreigners, but acts so arrogantly towards their compatriots.
Do you have to be so obvious?
This behavior of worshipping foreigners and fawning on foreign countries is unparalleled!
Xu Nanxing looked at the person who came in speechlessly.
However, she did not interrupt because this kind of situation happened too often in Hong Kong.
After all, the highest leader of Hong Kong, the Governor, is a British person appointed by the United Kingdom.
People in Hong Kong don't even have the right to vote.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Hong Kong people develop a sentiment of worshipping foreigners and fawning on foreign countries.
The pawnshop employee looked very unhappy, but he had no choice but to accept that the other party had brought a customer, and generally foreigners are much more generous with their money than Chinese people!
Therefore, he did not dare to offend these foreigners easily, so he said to Fu Yaozu, "Our store is a century-old store, and our reputation is guaranteed!" After that, he looked meaningfully at Xu Nanxing standing beside him, and continued, "It's better than those people you don't even know! Do you want to pawn this jade pendant alive or dead? Think carefully!"
After saying this, he stopped talking to Fu Yaozu and turned around to find Mr. Smith.
"Mr. Smith, right? You've made the right choice by coming to our store! Our store has a century-old history. If you want to buy some antiques, follow me! Let's go into the reception room and show you our wares!"
The Chinese man translated the words to Smith, and when Smith nodded, he followed him into the reception room at the back.
Smith saw that the store was full of Chinese people wearing tattered clothes and with pale faces. His face was full of disgust and disdain. He took out a white handkerchief from his jacket pocket, covered his mouth and nose, and then followed the man in.
Xu Nanxing narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
