Li Mo and Comrade Lao Liu chatted for more than ten minutes when they saw Boss Wang returning with a bag. He didn't even close his smile. He put the bag directly on the table and said, "I understand the rules. This is just a little thought." , can’t be too little.”
"Boss Wang, we are all old friends. Forget the appraisal fee." Yanagawa Kei hurriedly stood up and said, his face was too familiar and he couldn't help it.
"If I start the conversation on this street, Li Mo will be annoyed to death if everyone else comes to see him. I'll leave and we'll talk later."
"Boss Wang is still a very particular person."
Li Mo sat on a chair, drank tea and said with a smile.
"He picked up a big leak and doubled it a hundred times. If he doesn't even pay the appraisal fee, his reputation will be bad in the future. Let me see how much it costs?"
Yanagawa Kei stood up and walked to the table, opened the bag and looked at it. All the piles were unopened.
"Boss Wang was really generous this time. He gave me half a million in cash at once."
"What half a million cash?"
Song Yuanning came out and brought a plate of cut fruits.
"Master Wife, keep the money in this bag and use it as pocket money."
Song Yuanning walked in and took a look, looking at Lao Liu suspiciously.
"Xiao Mo helped Boss Wang diagonally opposite to appraise the gilt bronze Buddha statue, and he sent over the appraisal fee."
"Then it's better to save it for Xiao Mo."
Li Mozhi waved his hand and said: "Master, please keep the flowers. I want to make money, and I can earn hundreds of billions in minutes."
This is not nonsense. His battle in the United States was measured in seconds.
"You, don't be too spoiled to Master Qin."
Comrade Lao Liu smiled. The couple's savings exceeded 100 million. At the beginning of the year, Li Mo also set up a company for Yingying to control the shares of a group. He heard from his daughter that the market value of the shares was more than 1 billion.
"Xiao Mo, you eat some fruit first. Dinner will be ready in half an hour. Have a drink at noon. If you drink less, you'll be fine. By the way, Yingying will be there in a minute."
Song Yuanning took the bag away from the table, leaving it here was nothing.
"Isn't Yingying filming on the set?"
"We have recently been filming on the Bund. I heard that you have arrived. The crew is off today." Yanagawa Kei thought of his daughter, then looked at his apprentice who was filled with absolute confidence, and secretly sighed that fate had played a joke on them.
Before I finished the plate of fruit, I heard Yingying's voice outside the door.
"Everyone, please go back. Li Mo has just gotten off the plane and hasn't had time to rest yet. Can you wait until he calms down and then show everyone the antiques in their hands?"
"Miss Yingying, this is what you said. Let's ask Associate Professor Li again tomorrow."
"Go back first and let Associate Professor Li take a good rest."
"Go for a walk."
Liu Yingying pushed the door open and walked in, then turned around and locked the door.
"hehe."
Yingying walked up to Li Mo and laughed out of habit. In June, the temperature was already quite high. Today she was wearing a khaki windbreaker, casual jeans and a pair of sneakers. On the back of the head is the iconic ponytail.
Youthful, beautiful and charming.
"Yingying, if you match it with some jewelry, it would be even more perfect." Li Mo praised a few words first, "It's so beautiful that it's indescribable."
Liu Yingying sat on the empty chair next to him and couldn't help but laugh: "I find that you are becoming more and more good at reading people's faces."
"Because I have grown up now and have been in society for several years. These eyes have long been cultivated into piercing eyes." Li Mo pushed the remaining fruits on the plate to her, "Photographed Is everything going well?"
"It's okay. Let's try shooting some simple online dramas first. Why don't you fly directly to Kyoto?"
"I'm thinking of master, mistress, and you."
Liu Yingying stretched out her hand and was about to hit him on the head: "Talk to this girl."
"I can't stay any longer in the United States, and the earliest flight is directly to Shanghai."
Liu Yingying looked at him with a smile: "That's pretty much it." She picked up a piece of cantaloupe with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth, "When will you return to Kyoto?"
"I'll stay in Shanghai for a few days to adjust to the time difference."
Yanagawa Kei looked weird and said, "It's okay to adjust the time difference in Kyoto."
Liu Yingying also nodded and said, "Is there something you are hiding from us?"
"What's going on? Don't think about it."
"Tch, ever since I was a kid, I could tell what you were thinking when you frowned. Tell me, what happened?"
Li Mo turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yang, who stood up knowingly and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help you with. You guys can talk first."
After Zhou Yang left, Yanagawa Kecai asked with a serious face: "Is the matter serious?"
Liu Yingying's face suddenly became nervous.
Li Mo sat up straight and lowered his voice and said: "This time I not only found a lot of priceless antiques in the United States, but also earned more than 100 billion in cash, which will be transferred to the country in the next two or three days. By then, There will definitely be a lot of people asking me about this and that. I’m afraid of being annoying, so I’ll hide away and let them absorb it first.”
The Liu family's father and daughter's eyes suddenly widened. Did they hear it right? They had earned more than 100 billion. When did this money become as easy to make as cabbage? No wonder he flew directly to Shanghai. The old men in Kyoto must have also gotten the news. If he showed up, he would continue to ask questions.
"I'll be staying in the magic city for a few days, and those old men will probably guess what I mean." Li Mo lay down on the chair again, "Master, I'll stay with you these two days."
"Okay, you can stay as long as you like."
The lunch dishes were very rich, and they were all Li Mo's favorite dishes. He also had a glass of white wine with his master.
"Xiao Mo, the weather is nice today. Come with me for a walk in the afternoon and see if there are any places that are more suitable for shooting."
"No problem. Let's go immediately after eating."
After dinner, after Li Mo and Liu Yingying went out together, Zhou Yangcai whispered: "Uncle, aunt, I just didn't understand. Mr. Li and Sister Yingying grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Why can't they be together? I It’s really a good match to watch the two of them stand together.”
Yanagawa Kei drank green tea to relieve his tiredness, and sighed softly: "The relationship between them is more like brother and sister than between man and woman. If you miss some things, you will miss them."
Zhou Yang seemed to understand, and then he said enviously: "No matter what, Mr. Li takes care of you as your biological parents."
"Zhou Yang, do your job well. This Gu Yunxuan store will still be managed by you in the future."
"Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely remember your daily teachings."
As soon as Li Mo went out, he saw many people looking at him on the street.
"Yingying, let's go quickly."
The two of them hurriedly left the antique street and turned onto Temple Street in front of the Chenghuang Temple. Looking at the rows of street stalls, Li Mo wanted to go shopping.
"How about we take a look around?" Liu Yingying looked at his appearance and couldn't help but feel funny. This guy was too addicted to antiques. I'm afraid that in his life, apart from his relatives, he only had deeper feelings for antiques.
"There will be a lot of time next, let's go." Li Mo withdrew his gaze and breathed in the air as he walked, "This used to be the place where we visited the most when we were growing up. I didn't expect time to fly by so fast. Years have passed.”
"I really want to go back to high school." Liu Yingying said quietly from the side.
"Why?"
Yingying reached out and took his arm naturally, with a slight smile on her lips and said, "Because everything can be done again."
Everything can be done again. This is probably the common thought in the minds of countless people.
"Xiao Mo, if, I mean if you could go back in time and go back to high school, what would you most like to do?"
What I wanted to do most at that time. . . Li Mo recalled everything from his youth. In his memory, apart from running around with his master, he spent the most time with Yingying.
"Don't you have something you most want to do?"
Li Mo turned to look at her flawless pretty face and said softly: "What about you, what do you want to do most?"
"I, well, if I could really go back to high school, I would definitely confess to a boy and bravely tell her that I have liked him for a long time."
Li Mo turned his face and looked at the traffic in front of him. He knew that Yingying was staring at his side face at this moment.
If I could go back in time, I would confess to a girl and tell her that I really like her. But there is no turning back in life, and no one's life will be perfect.
"It's a pity that you didn't have the chance to express your love to that boy." Li Mo suddenly laughed and said with strange eyes, "Do I know that boy?"
"I won't tell you." Yingying raised her chin and turned towards a milk tea shop. "The food my mother made for lunch was a bit oily. I'm going to buy a cup of lemon tea. What do you want to drink?"
"Like you, go and get rid of the grease."
The Bund, the magical city, was still like that. He saw many foreigners playing around, and he also saw real estate agents operating here.
Ships passed by one after another, and the turbid water hit the shore, but nothing seemed to have changed.
"By the way, Xiao Mo, do you remember your head teacher in high school, Teacher An? The one whose leg was broken by a car."
"Of course I remember that Teacher An's husband still works in the Magic City Museum. I once invited him to go to Kyoto to serve as the director of the Gu Yunxuan Museum. But he considered that Teacher An needed someone to take good care of him, so he finally rejected my invitation. .You suddenly mentioned this matter, did something happen to Teacher An?"
"I also heard from my classmates that Teacher An's youngest son was defrauded when he was studying abroad, and he owed a huge debt for some reason. Her son has been temporarily suspended from school, and several creditors come to collect debts from time to time, causing trouble at school. There has been a lot of commotion. I also heard that a few of your high school classmates who are doing well are discussing whether everyone who has money or who has no money can contribute to help Teacher An overcome the current difficulties."
"What else happened?" Li Mo frowned slightly, "When did it happen?"
"In early May, this matter broke out just a few days after you went to the United States. I clearly remember that you said more than once that Teacher An was pretty good to you. She had her leg broken a few years ago, and it was you who came to help. She settled the compensation matter. Now that you are in Shanghai, would you like to go over and see what happened? "
"Okay, I'll make a call first to ask about the situation."
Li Mo took out his cell phone and dialed Chu Li's number. It rang several times before he was connected.
"Squad leader Chu, are you busy?"
"No matter how busy I am, I still have to answer your call, Associate Professor Li. What's the point of not showing up when you return to China? But there are many people talking about you."
"Hey, I'm just afraid of being remembered by too many people, so I hid in the devil's capital for a few days to cleanse myself."
"De Xing, I said you are fat and have asthma. What advice can you give me on the phone at this time?"
"I'm just asking my high school teacher, Teacher An, how much do you know?"
Chu Li on the other side of the phone said in a slightly solemn voice: "Teacher An's son is studying in Kyoto. Once he met an antique at Liulichang and was tricked. There is no doubt that he was set up by someone. I've been tricked, but you know best in this business of antiques. All that matters is your sharp eyesight. If you miss the mark, you can only admit that you are unlucky. I heard that he owes a huge sum of 18 million, and now he has been blocked by creditors. , It’s useless to call the police, they all have evidence.”
"We also want to help Teacher An, but our abilities are still limited. We will definitely not be able to plug the 18 million hole. Li Mo, do you want to help Teacher An once?"
"Why don't I ask you about the situation first?"
"Because I haven't had time to go back to the Magic City, I don't know the specific situation. Li Mo, it's obvious that those creditors are probably one of the trappers. Their hands are dark. You have to be careful."
"Thanks for reminding me, I'll hang up now."
"Don't worry, I have something important to tell you. In a few days, my parents will come to Kyoto from the Magic City to meet Sijun's parents and his grandparents. Then you can come forward to help me in the name of my old classmate. We are holding on to the scene, but I still haven’t dared to tell my parents about Sijun’s family situation, for fear that they would be under too much mental pressure.”
"Yes, Squad Leader Chu. This is fast. It seems that I will be able to enjoy your wedding at the end of this year. Don't worry, I will definitely be on your side to cheer you up."
"Thank you very much, bye."
Li Mo hung up the phone and saw Yingying looking at him with a strange smile: "Is there dirt or flowers on my face?"
"Why didn't I see that you had the talent to be a matchmaker before?"
"This is called rational use of resources."
Li Mo nodded her forehead and made another call: "Brown Bear, I'm back in the Magic City. You can bring some people over. There will be work tomorrow."
As soon as he hung up the phone, a real estate agent came over and said enthusiastically: "Sir, Madam, do you want to see the house? I have several very good houses in my hand, and you can view them at any time."
"No, my house is too big to live in." Li Mo politely rejected the leaflet he handed over, and then turned and left with Liu Yingying.
"He's really good at bragging, and he has such a crazy tone that he's not afraid of flashing his tongue."
The voice of the real estate agent came from behind, and a black line immediately appeared on Li Mo's brow. Liu Yingying beside her covered her mouth to hold back her laughter.
“Don’t bear it if it’s uncomfortable.”
Liu Yingying finally giggled happily: "This is the first time I see you embarrassed. You are obviously telling the truth, but you are thought to be pretending to be thirteen."
"For someone like him, he is weird only if he does a good job. That's almost enough. Don't make your stomach hurt from laughing."
Liu Yingying laughed so hard that she shed tears. She wiped it gently and pointed to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower opposite: "Let's go up and have a panoramic view of the Magic City."
"Walk."
