Liu Xiangxiang was so happy that she didn't expect Gu Fei to agree immediately.
She must go and pick up Gu Fei in person.
Of course it would be best if someone could pick him up and drop him off, so Gu Fei naturally agreed.
Then next, he would have to prepare some gifts for the Liu family.
The other party is engaged in calligraphy and painting, so the gift he gives cannot be too vulgar.
After thinking about it, he simply called Su Ruoxi.
Among all the women he knew, Su Ruoxi had the highest education and the strongest academic attainments, and she also had a hidden skill, which was playing the piano.
She plays the piano very well, but she seldom shows it.
In addition, she also likes to study ancient books.
Although I was looking for prescriptions and other related things, I did read a lot of ancient books and came into contact with a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
"An antique gift worth two or three hundred thousand...Gu Fei, you're just visiting someone's home, is it necessary to bring such an expensive gift?"
Although she was not from a noble family, because of her status, she had come into contact with many people and participated in many gatherings of this type.
Ordinary people imagine that it is normal for rich people to give gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars when visiting others.
The opposite is true.
The richer a person is, the more calculative and stingy he is.
At the super-rich aristocratic gatherings she attended, if guests gave gifts exceeding ten thousand yuan, it would be considered very thoughtful, while most of them were only a few thousand yuan.
If Gu Fei took out a gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at once, not only would he lose money, but the person receiving the gift would also probably be under a lot of pressure.
But Gu Fei is exactly the type of person who becomes a rich second generation overnight.
He seldom attended such gatherings, and was not very clear about the social interactions. He just felt that he had enough money, so he wanted to give a gift without giving it too much thought.
"It's okay. Liu Xiangxiang has helped me a lot. It's my first time going to the Liu family, so it's normal to give her something presentable. All you have to do is recommend it."
"Oh well."
Su Ruoxi stopped persuading him and gave him an address.
"This calligraphy and painting shop is owned by a friend of my master. I even worked there part-time during college. Just go there and tell them I recommended it. The owner will recommend a suitable gift for you. I'll also call the owner later and ask him to take care of you."
If she didn't have to work overtime to perform three more operations, she would definitely accompany Gu Fei in person.
After getting the address, Gu Fei didn't waste any time and drove directly to the store.
The antique shop was deep in a very narrow alley. If Su Ruoxi hadn't given him the address, he might never have come to such a place in his life.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he opened a store here, would the business be good?
When he reached the door, he found it even more magical.
This is even just a bungalow, not a building. There is no plaque on the door, only a tattered wooden sign with four big words written in red paint: Antique Recycling.
This is actually an antique shop?
It was the antique shop where Su Ruoxi had worked.
Gu Fei was immediately curious about the store and pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he could feel the rotation and changes of heaven and earth.
Because the decoration of the store is so good.
Rows of shelves are neatly arranged, bathed in warm yellow light and scented with a faint scent of pure ambergris. Everything is so antique.
A girl wearing a brown plaid shirt, two pigtails and thick black-framed glasses was sweeping the antiques on the shelves with a feather duster.
Seeing him, he just glanced at him and continued with his work, with no intention of greeting him at all.
Gu Fei could only take the initiative to speak: "I was introduced by Su Ruoxi."
The girl then looked at him again: "Are you Gu Fei?"
"It's me."
"Do you have any ID?"
What?
Does this require proof?
Gu Fei found it funny and took out his ID card from his pocket and shook it: "Is this considered an ID?"
The girl had good eyesight. She glanced at him and nodded, "Come with me."
The girl led him across the shelves, past the counter, and directly to the inner room at the back.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Fei saw a familiar face.
Huh?
Isn’t this the man Liu Xiangxiang brought here this afternoon?
What’s it called?
He couldn't quite remember it, but he did remember the person.
This person is Wu Zhengqing.
Coincidentally, Wu Zhengqing was also going to attend the Liu family's family dinner tonight, taking advantage of his childhood sweetheart and the good relationship between the two families. In order to leave a good impression on them, he also specifically inquired about the better antique shops in Su City, hoping to buy some cultural relics as a gift.
I was chatting with the boss when I saw Gu Fei come in.
This brat is really haunting me!
He was unhappy when he saw Gu Fei, but he was too lazy to pay attention.
In his eyes, Gu Fei was just a shabby rich second-generation from a third-rate small city, not worth taking seriously at all.
He pretended not to see it and continued to say to the boss: "How about this, I want both the calligraphy and the painting. How about you give me a discount?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I really can't do it. This might be Mr. Wu's first time in our shop. We never bargain here. Whatever you say is what you get. Don't say you're just buying two paintings. Even if you book the whole shop, the price is still what you get."
The shop owner was an old man in his fifties or sixties, quite short, with a kind face, but he spoke with a Beijing accent. One could tell from his voice that he was a smart man and not someone to be trifled with.
If Gu Fei wasn't there, Wu Zhengqing could continue to pester the boss to bargain for a lower price.
