If I could get along with them, maybe I wouldn't leave the capital at all, and maybe I could even be hyped to become the top young star in the capital's antiques.
Unfortunately, I didn't go along with the wishes of those so-called big bosses, so I ended up going bankrupt and living in Hezhou.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Is it wrong to stick to the right path?
Why do those people think that it is right to make more money by engaging in smuggling and black market transactions?
Money, money!
These people only have money in their minds and only those dark things.
In order to make money, I will do whatever it takes to lose my bottom line. What I stick to today is:
As long as you have the ability and follow the right path, you can make a fortune with a little bit of money, and you can be on an equal footing with those who follow the crooked path!
In Hezhou, I met Uncle Qi. What I admire most about him is that he dares to stay on the right path.
Alas...why is this in the world? Does it take such courage to step on the right path?
I swallowed and looked at Deng Xi. She didn't type a word and was still hesitating.
"You don't have to talk about your family's difficulties."
"But you must tell me who Boss Dai is, his name and identity."
I took my phone back and typed a few more words, "Otherwise, even the gods can't save you."
"Boss Dai used to be a loan shark."
"His real name is Ding Shi."
Seeing these two sentences, I breathed a sigh of relief.
This proves that Deng Xi still wants to resist at least a little bit.
When "life-saving straw" is extended to her, she will not do nothing while shouting for help.
"I will find a way to dismantle your eavesdropping later, and you must cooperate."
"Whatever I write is what you say."
After writing these two sentences, I wrote something more and showed it to Han Shijin through the rearview mirror.
At this point, the script I arranged begins to act.
"How about we go to the mall later?"
Han Shijin is very "dedicated" and his tone is still very provocative. If you are someone who doesn't know the situation, you will definitely think that he has something wrong with Deng Xi.
"I...I don't feel very well, so let's forget it..."
Deng Xi spoke slowly, somewhat scripted, but it was enough.
The lines I made up were absolutely in line with her mood - a mood that refused to be played with and teased.
"It's okay, just go shopping. If there's anything you like, just buy it."
In my "lines", Han Shijin's "generousness and status" are fully reflected.
I don’t even have to guess what Ding Shi would be thinking on the other end of the bug.
"Follow him, keep an eye on them now, and report everything they do and wherever they go!"
Sure enough, Ding Shi, whose pseudonym is Boss Dai, is still monitoring us - he still doesn't realize that his "broadcast" has been heard by me, Han Shijin and even Chen Cheng.
"Then... well, I'll take a walk."
Deng Xi spoke reluctantly.
"That's right, let's get along well."
"I come from the capital and don't know what delicious food there is in Shanghai. You can just recommend it to me."
In the "lines" I prepared, Han Shijin took the opportunity to chat with Deng Xi.
Although Deng Xi was not very willing to speak, at least he read my lines very smoothly.
Obviously, she was very encouraged when she saw the words I wrote to her about dismantling eavesdropping.
We took Chen Cheng and Han Shijin to take Deng Xi around the mall and bought some things.
As we walked, Han Shijin took us to the antique shop.
During this time, I contacted Li Jinming, and when I went to the bar, someone would come to help me and remove the eavesdropping and receiving equipment.
"Shen Fan, come here and pick something good for me."
Han Shijin spoke directly, and then glanced at this antique store in a shopping mall with very little traffic.
This kind of "dictating" tone is in line with Han Shijin's image as the "young master of the capital" and his image in front of Ding Shi and Tao Ronghua.
I took a quick glance at this antique store and found that most of them were fakes - or "modern art".
Let alone fancying it, the counterfeiting techniques are inferior.
"What good can be found here?"
I said calmly, "Boss, bring me something better."
After hearing what I said, the boss looked unhappy for a moment.
"Little brother, that's not what you said. If I had a fake here, my store would be closed today!"
His face was full of confidence.
"What you said is contrary to what you said. If there is a real thing you are displaying here, I will pay three times the price."
Before saying this, I had already looked at all the large and small things on the countertop in his shop, "Let's talk about it first, except for these two items."
As I said that, I pointed to a piece of jade and a small pot.
The jade is real jade and of high quality, but the carver should use a modern machine.
There is another small pot, which was commonly known as a chamber pot in ancient times and was used to collect urine. This thing is regarded as a disgusting thing in the market. Even if it is fake, no one is willing to make it-unless it is a palace chamber pot.
"Little brother, are you really so confident?"
A smile appeared on the boss's face.
"That's all on the counter. Don't just bring out any real stuff. There's surveillance here."
I said and pointed to the surveillance camera nearby.
Then I told her the authenticity from left to right at lightning speed, and explained clearly to him why it was fake.
"Okay, except for these two pieces, are there no real ones?"
After I said this, the boss was stunned.
Of course, some of them he didn’t even know were true or false.
"Little brother...you..."
"I'm not here to cause trouble, it's just that there's no one around you, so we're talking behind closed doors."
I said calmly, "Besides, this is Mr. Han from the capital. When I come to your hall to see something, you must bring out something substantial."
These two sentences made the boss immediately obey and show admiration in his eyes.
"May I ask your name? If you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come and pay you a visit."
I guess when the boss heard what I said, he already realized that I came from a "scientific background" and was not an appraisal expert who became a monk by the wayside.
"No need, you bring out a good thing and we charge it at the market price. That's enough."
I waved my hand slightly, "If Master Han is happy, you can also make some money and cheat less people, right?"
"Little brother, you are so noble and upright at such a young age, I am ashamed of myself."
Just as I thought, people who open up like this nowadays are just for the sake of making a living, and they have no choice but to do so.
It's just a "joking" to say that it doesn't open for three years and lasts for three years after opening.
Even in the capital, most of the churches are supported by "rich people".
These wealthy people, whether they are nouveau riche who want to pretend to be cultured or those who really know their stuff, support the entire industry in disguise.
This is also the "hidden rule" that I most want to break when testing in Hezhou.
