Early the next morning, after breakfast, Huan Xin made an appointment with Su He to go to the antique market early this morning to look for the old man who set up the stall to buy the jade.
The two of them arrived here before the antique city opened. It didn't take long for the shops one after another to open for business. The two searched for several times and asked many people, but they couldn't find what Su Changhai described. An old man whom no one had even heard of.
A kind-hearted boss told them that there were only a few fixed stores here, and everyone knew them. There are too many people who come here to set up wild stalls every day, and most of them change places if they want to make a fortune. It is really not easy to find people.
At noon, Su He was a little sad. They had searched here several times, but there was no news at all. It was as if the old man had never appeared here before. So Su He had the idea of giving up, and Qing Xin also frowned. He knew that if Jade couldn't be found, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would just be very troublesome.
Just when the two were about to take a break at noon, someone suddenly tapped Huan Xin on the shoulder. Huan Xin subconsciously turned around and saw a person she had met once before, Boss Xu of the antique shop!
Huanxin once visited this antique city under the leadership of Li Changshu, and bought a fine jade snuff bottle from Boss Xu's shop so that Huanxin could make it into a soul box. The soul box is still hanging on the Anyone who has seen it on Huan Xin’s neck will be curious. Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. It is indeed puzzling that Huan Xin wears a snuff bottle. But what they don't know is that this is no ordinary snuff bottle, but a magic weapon that Huan Xin spent a lot of effort to create.
Boss Xu looked at Huan Xin and Su He beside him, and said to Huan Xin with a bright smile: "Mr. Qi, long time no see. I saw you all the way away and thought I made a mistake. You are bringing your daughter with you." Friends going out for a walk?"
Su He who was on the side obviously blushed with embarrassment when he heard the word "girlfriend". Just when he was about to explain, he heard Huan Xin smile politely and said: "Long time no see, Boss Qi, we are I happened to be passing by and just took a look!”
Boss Qi glanced at Huan Xin with a playful look, and then said with a charming smile: "Then you have turned it thoroughly enough, how many times have you turned it? It doesn't look like you are looking for something!" "
Huan Xin knew that since Boss Xu was an expert in the antique industry, he had no problem looking at objects, and he could also look at people and things. Originally, Huan Xin wanted to ask Boss Xu about it from the beginning. Yes, but I was worried that they only had a one-time relationship last time and the two of them were not close friends, so Huan Xin gave up the idea.
Unexpectedly, Boss Xu remembered it in his heart and recognized Huan Xinlai from afar.
Huan Xin smiled sheepishly and said, "It's not, it's not a big deal, so I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Boss Xu smiled and said nothing, and quickly invited Zhao Xin and Su He to come and sit in his shop. Boss Xu was indeed a businessman.
Boss Xu invited the two of them to the back hall of the store, brewed a pot of Longjing tea for them, filled the cups in front of them with tea, and said with a smile: "You have been working around for a long time, you must be tired now, hurry up Let’s have a sip of tea first and try the Yuqian that a friend of mine brought from Yuhang.”
Qing Xin was really thirsty, so she stopped being polite and picked up the cup and took a sip. Seeing that the other party was so kind, Su He politely picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Su He felt a rush of tea with just one sip. The fragrance is refreshing.
Boss Xu watched the two of them drink tea with a smile on his face, and he was no longer polite, so he said to Huan Xin: "Mr. Qi, as the saying goes, once you get old, you will get familiar again, and this can be considered the second time for us. Now that we have met, I won’t meet you anymore. After all, I am in my late forties, so it’s not too much to call you Xiaoqi!”
Boss Qi tentatively asked Huan Xin. He was still very curious about Huan Xin’s identity, because Huan Xin didn’t feel like a second-generation official or a wealthy businessman to him. There was always a hint of command. Boss Xu, who has been in the world for more than 20 years, cannot understand the intriguing feeling of people.
Qing Xin heard that he was also very polite and said: "You are too polite, just call me Xiao Qi. I am not used to talking to each other."
Boss Xu smiled and nodded, and then asked straight to the point: "Xiao Qi, I saw you walking around when I opened the door this morning. You should be looking for someone!"
Huan Xin smiled, thinking that he wouldn't hide it in front of a real person, so he nodded and said to Boss Xu: "You are right, we are looking for someone!"
"Then you might as well tell me, maybe I can help you? I've been running a store here for a few years and I know a lot of people."
Boss Xu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said enthusiastically to Huan Xin.
Huan Xin was not polite and told him directly that they were looking for another old man and described the old man's appearance and characteristics to Boss Xu.
After hearing this, Boss Xu also frowned and his expression froze for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Huan Xin with a noncommittal look, and then asked cautiously: "You are looking for him? What's the matter?"
As soon as Huanxin heard Boss Xu's tone, she knew that Boss Xu must know this old man, so she asked, "Boss Xu knows the person we are looking for?"
Boss Xu's expression softened and he said with a smile: "Haha, I've heard of such a person, but I don't know why you are looking for him?"
At this time, Su He was about to speak when he was stopped by Huan Xin, so Huan Xin rushed to say: "We heard that there is such an old man here, and he recently received a piece of fine jade in his hand, so we wanted to come and have a look. Boss Xu, you also know that I am quite interested in jade."
Huan Xin didn't want to tell too much about what was going on. After all, the piece of jade came from a tomb, and he didn't want too many people to know about it and become suspicious.
Boss Xu also heard that things here are definitely not that simple, so since the other party is unwilling to tell, it is not easy for him to ask for details, so he frowned and said: "I still know this old man, and he often comes over from time to time to show off. There is a stall, but most of what I sell are some low-end gadgets. I haven’t heard of any good treasures?”
Huan Xin smiled, then changed the subject and asked, "Then do you know where this old man lives? Where can I find him?"
Boss Xu was obviously taken aback, but he swallowed his words again, and then said to Huan Xin: "I don't know much about this, but I can help you keep an eye on it every day. If I see him, I can let you know."
Huan Xin realized that Boss Xu must have known the old man, and the relationship was probably not ordinary, so he was cautious and did not reveal too much. After all, he did not give him any details.
Huan Xin smiled, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a big sip, then clasped his fists at Boss Xu and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Boss Xu. If you see this old man, please give me a message. Tell him about his hand." The thing inside is not that simple. If you haven't taken it yet, you can give it to me. After all, if someone else takes it, something unexpected may happen."
After saying that, Huan Xin said a few more polite words and left in a hurry with Su He.
As soon as the two left, Boss Xu put away his smile, frowned in confusion, thought about it for a long time, and then picked up the phone and called.
