I opened it with some interest.
Naturally, there were Tao Ronghua's shameless words inside.
What didn’t happen was that the ship was found to be unqualified for maintenance...I regret that the antique sank into the sea...
Of course, I saw some different voices on the Internet - it should be someone arranged by Xu Jinhyuk.
But the incident has always been characterized as an ordinary shipwreck.
Because there were almost no casualties, no one held Tao Ronghua accountable.
The balance that was not paid before was naturally left unaccounted for because the goods sank at sea...
After having a super expensive meal at the airport, Chen Cheng and I finally arrived after our delayed flight.
We followed the car all the way inside the airport, walked up the stairs, and entered the plane.
The whole trip was smooth and the flight time was two hours in total.
There was no one to greet me when I got off the plane. This is what I am more "adapted to" now.
Chen Cheng and I took the airport bus all the way back to our rental house in Xintiandi.
"so tired!"
Chen Cheng said, leaning on the sofa, "I never found traveling to be so tiring!"
"Our schedule is too tight."
I opened my luggage and packed it while saying, "Actually, having so many things to play with can extend the time."
With that said, I put away the three antiques I brought and planned to go to Li Mingming to exchange some money tomorrow.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
I responded, but there was no answer from the door.
Opening the door, there was a man in a suit, "Is this Mr. Shen Fan?"
Seeing me nodding, he bowed slightly and said, "Uncle Seventh invites me."
"No way……"
I sighed, "Can it be tomorrow?"
"Seventh uncle has prepared a banquet, please come."
He didn't answer my question and just spoke.
I understand, I can’t refuse the invitation from these big guys.
For me, rejection may be the meal, but for him, rejection is his face.
"Chen Cheng, do you still have the strength? Are you coming to eat?"
I turned to look at Chen Cheng on the sofa, "Will you come with me?"
"I can't order takeout, I'm exhausted!"
Chen Cheng shook his head, picked up his phone and started ordering takeout.
"Wait for me a moment while I change my clothes."
As I said that, I closed the door, leaned against it and sighed.
Not only Chen Cheng was tired, but I was also tired. I was tired and hungry. I just wanted to order takeout at home and wait for dinner.
But Uncle Seventh invites me, so I have to go.
With this in mind, I went back to my room and washed my face to wake myself up, and then changed into something that looked more decent.
"Let's go."
Opening the door again, I followed the man downstairs.
Downstairs, a luxury car, a Rolls-Royce, has been prepared!
Not only was I amazed that there was a Rolls-Royce in this place, I got into the back seat.
An old man with a plate of walnuts was already sitting next to me, looking quite kind.
"Are you Shen Fan?"
The old man asked slowly, sizing me up and down, spinning the two antique walnuts in his hands.
I nodded silently.
"Let's go to the restaurant in the city center."
After the old man finished speaking, he leaned on the car and squinted his eyes.
At this moment, I realized that he was the seventh uncle, Su Yu’s grandfather.
"He is truly a talented person."
On the way, he spoke slowly, "I remember the shipwreck happened several days ago. Why did you come back today?"
"My friends and I spent a few days in Huzhou and bought some items."
I explained, tugging at my tie to appear more natural.
"Then look at what my jade ring is all about?"
As he spoke, he took off the jade ring on his right thumb and showed it to me.
"In some years, the quality of the jade is good, and the top quality Hetian jade should be used."
Relying on the dim light in the car, I looked at this jade ring. "The gold wire carvings on it seem to come from Yumen. They should be dug out from Hotan and made in Yumen. The time... It should be within the last five years." A matter of ten years.”
"Hahaha, good boy, you got everything right!"
The seventh uncle smiled, took the jade ring back, and told me its origin in detail.
This jade ring was a gift from the seventh uncle when he went to Yumen City to discuss the jade business more than forty years ago.
From Hotan, built in Yumen.
"Zhou Jianguo is right, you are indeed a talent."
The seventh uncle nodded slightly, "I remember, Zhou Jianguo also sent you an invitation, right? Follow me, what's wrong with that?"
"Seventh Uncle, can you talk about this later?"
I said and sighed, "I just came back from Shanghai by plane. The airport bus was bumpy all the way. It took me a long time to get home, and you just want me to come over for dinner... I'm really tired!"
Unexpectedly, after listening to my words, the seventh uncle actually laughed.
"I don't see many honest young men like you. It seems that this is my fault."
I looked carefully at Uncle Seventh's expression and eyes, and there was no anger at all. "But I'm sorry. Actually, I'm not looking for you."
"Ah? Master Zhou?"
There was some confusion on my face, "I don't want to either..."
"You'll find out later."
"It's my fault that I came to you rashly this time, but just give me a favor and let's have a meal together."
Uncle Seven thought thoughtfully and said, "As for whether you want to do these things with me, we won't discuss it. Let's wait until the next time you officially come to visit us."
As he said that, the car had already driven to the underground parking lot of a restaurant.
"Seventh uncle, please."
I opened the door and extended my hand in a please gesture.
This is a kind of etiquette and also shows my respect for my seventh uncle.
After all, this is his territory, and I can survive here only because he didn't drive me away.
"You kid still knows this... Hahaha, it really surprises me again and again."
"I thought you were just an ordinary boy."
Uncle Seven walked out with a cane in one hand and walnuts in the other, "Let's go."
With that said, we took the elevator all the way upstairs.
Walking into the hotel box, I seemed to understand a little bit.
In the box, besides Zhou Jianguo, there was another girl - Su Yu.
I couldn't help but think about it, what was Su Yuan thinking?
A sense of crisis made me suddenly energetic even though I was very sleepy and tired.
"Shen Fan, we have been waiting for you for a long time. In fact, wouldn't it be nice to meet the seventh uncle at the port?"
Zhou Jianguo was smiling, but I saw something else behind his smile.
"Grandpa, let's get down to business!"
Amelia Su spoke slowly, "Didn't we agree?"
"Okay, of course!"
Uncle Seven promised, but before the food was served, he faced me and became slightly serious.
"Actually, I've heard some things from Zhou Jianguo. If you don't want to do it with me, I have no objection."
He plated walnuts and said, "But there is someone who wants to learn something from you. I wonder if you can agree?"
"who?"
I asked this on purpose. In fact, it was obvious who in this room wanted to "learn" from me.
