Chapter 22: The Shield
"I didn't mean that, Miss Wang, please listen to me. ”
Zheng Zheng put down the jade bracelet in his hand and said with a smile: "I can clearly say that the value of your jade bracelet is higher than these two seals." I'm not a greedy person, so I'm not going to take advantage of this. I want to discuss a compromise plan with you, that is, to put this jade bracelet here for the time being, and you take these two seals, and I can give you time to prepare for the 1.5 million, I believe this is not a difficult thing for you. ”
"How long will it take to raise money, you can tell me. If you give me the money within this period, I will return the jade bracelet to you. If you don't raise money within this period or don't want to buy the two seals, then the seals will be returned to me, and I will return your jade bracelet in its original form. ”
"Look......" Zheng Zheng stood up and asked with a smile while handing the jade bracelet back to Wang Zhao, "Is this okay?"
Wang Zhao took the jade bracelet, but he was not in a hurry to put it on. She looked at Zheng Zheng with a smile on her face, shook her head and said, "Such a good thing? I'm afraid you haven't finished your words yet." I can tell you first, I can give you this 1.5 million a month at most, and now tell me what you haven't finished. ”
Zheng Zheng nodded and said calmly: "You are an understanding person." My request is that if you don't acquire these two seals after this month, you will have to pay me 150,000 liquidated damages. As you should know, the price of 1.5 million is not too high, and if I put this seal on the world, many people will be happy to accept this price. ”
"Far from it, let's talk about today's participants. There may be someone among them who will find me tomorrow and want to buy the seal in my hand, after all, the Tianhuangshi seal with two seals with one stone is rare, so it can be said that I don't have to worry about selling these two seals. It's just that I'm a person who is afraid of trouble, and if I can have a reliable buyer, I'm happy to save some trouble. ”
After speaking, Zheng Zheng stopped talking. He placed the two seals on the glass turntable on the table, and then looked at Wang Zhao with a smile, waiting for her answer.
Zheng Zheng didn't tell the truth, but he didn't tell a lie, he was sure that there would be many people who would come to buy these two seals, that was for sure. It's just that Zheng Zheng has been doing business in the antique industry for a long time, and he also knows what the situation is like when trading in the antique shop, and most of the buyers are profit-seekers. Since they are profit-seekers, then they will do everything possible to lower the price, and there will even be several buyers colluding together to reduce the price at the same time, which can be said to be annoying, and in the end, even if they can sell smoothly, but the price is not satisfactory.
Now that there is a neat buyer who has the ability to buy these two seals, Zheng Zheng really doesn't want to bother with that.
Wang Zhao reluctantly stroked the jade bracelet in his hand, and then put the jade bracelet on the rotating table. Zheng Zheng nodded and smiled at her, turned the table slightly, and the jade bracelet arrived in front of him.
"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"
Wang Zhao was about to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her mobile phone suddenly rang. She gave Zheng Zheng an apologetic smile and took out her phone.
After glancing at the phone screen, Wang Zhao couldn't help frowning, obviously she didn't like the call very much. But a moment later, Wang Zhao still answered the phone.
At first, Zheng Zheng was a little consciously ready to leave for a while to avoid suspicion, but he soon knew that he didn't need to do so - the phone only lasted less than a minute, and Wang Zhao hung up the phone, and she only said "okay" from beginning to end, and there was nothing worth avoiding suspicion at all.
"Since you have something, let's end this matter quickly. When Wang Zhao hung up the phone, Zheng Zheng said with a smile.
Wang Zhao shook her head and smiled, she shook her phone to Zheng Zheng, and said, "You also know this person." ”
"Huh?" Zheng Zheng was suddenly a little confused, and he wondered: "I also know?" Could it be Zhou Qi?"
"Knock, knock. ”
Before Wang Zhao could speak, there was a knock at the door. She shook her head helplessly at Zheng Zheng, and then responded in a low voice: "Come in." ”
"Little Rou...... Ah no, Xiaoyun...... No, no, no, no, no. ”
The person who came pushed the door open and greeted Wang Zhao with a happy face, but his two names made Wang Zhao's face more and more ugly. ”
"Hmm. Wang Zhao's face softened slightly, she nodded, and said a low "um", even if she had said hello.
"I don't know if you're ...... tonight" The person who came was talking to Wang Zhao with a courteous face, but when he saw Zheng Zheng sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye, his face immediately deteriorated to the extreme. He snorted coldly, his eyes were fixed on Zheng Zheng, and he asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Zheng Zheng looked at Zheng Bei, who was looking at him angrily with a gloomy face, touched his nose and said, "I'm here to make soy sauce." ”
Looking at Wang Zhao, who was not very good, and Zheng Bei, who was courteous to Wang Zhao, Zheng Zheng could only sigh that this world was too small, and these two people actually knew each other. Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two when they met, and then looking at the anger and jealousy on Zheng Bei's face now, Zheng Zheng could also guess in his heart that there was a bloody story between a suitor and a pursued person who was unwilling to be pursued.
In this way, Zheng Zheng, who has a bit of a grudge with Zheng Bei, is really a soy sauce player between the two.
"What do you mean Zheng Zheng, tease me?"
Zheng Bei ignored Wang Zhao who was sitting on the side, he gritted his teeth and approached Zheng Zheng and asked word by word.
"Why can't you hear a good thing? Zheng Zheng shook his head and said, he looked at Zheng Bei, who was very angry, clenched his fists and smiled, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and then squinted at Zheng Bei, and said pointedly: "Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the past?"
"You ......"
Looking at Zheng Zheng's indifferent eyes, Zheng Bei unconsciously took a step back. After the word "you" burst out between his teeth, there was no follow-up.
"Zheng Zheng came with me, and I talked to him about a business. ”
Just when the scene was embarrassed, Wang Zhao's words could be regarded as giving Zheng Bei a step. He no longer looked at Zheng Zheng, but said to Wang Zhao with a smile on his face: "Xiao Zhao, I know you like antiques, if you want anything, just tell me, but whatever I can find for you, I can give it to you." ”
Wang Zhao raised her head and stared at Zheng Bei for a moment, until she looked at Zheng Bei a little unnaturally, and then she asked coldly, "Do you think I'm short of money?"
"No, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ......"
Without waiting for Zheng Bei to finish speaking, Wang Zhao interrupted him coldly: "This is my own business, don't meddle in it, understand?"
"Okay, good," Zheng Bei seemed to be used to Wang Zhao's reaction, and he said with a smile on his face: "Then are you free tonight? We haven't seen each other for a long time, I think ......"
"Not available. ”
Wang Zhao picked up the two seals in front of him and interrupted Zheng Bei coldly. She took a few steps towards Zheng Zheng and smiled strangely at Zheng Zheng from an angle that Zheng Bei couldn't see.
"It's over......"
Seeing Wang Zhao's smile, Zheng Zheng secretly screamed bitterly, and he immediately felt that something was wrong in his heart. But before he could react, Wang Zhao had already naturally grabbed his arm, and at the same time, he carefully picked up the jade bracelet and bronze balance on the table and put them into Zheng Zheng's pocket.
Wang Zhao smiled at Zheng Beiyan, who was pale, and said, "I have already made an appointment with Zheng Zheng for dinner, I'm sorry." ”
“…… Good. ”
When Zheng Bei saw Wang Zhao put the jade bracelet into Zheng Zheng's pocket, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously. When he heard Wang Zhao say this, and then looked at Wang Zhao's bird-like appearance holding Zheng Zheng with one hand, Zheng Bei's forehead suddenly jumped. He gritted his teeth so crunched that the word "good" came out almost as soon as it was ground between his teeth.
Wang Zhao stopped talking, she nodded to Zheng Bei, and then took Zheng Zheng beside her and left the private room calmly.
Within two minutes of the two of them leaving the private room, there was a burst of angry scolding in the private room, mixed with the crisp sound of crackling glass, and someone who remained in the private room was obviously in a state of rage.
Listening to the movement behind him, Zheng Zheng only felt a chill behind him. He believed that if the curse on one could make people really die, he didn't know how many times he had been killed by Zheng Bei's resentment and curse.
After walking out of the banquet hall, Wang Zhao still held Zheng Bei's arm, and said hello to the people he met from time to time, Zheng Zheng, who was standing next to Wang Zhao, only felt extremely uncomfortable, he didn't know how many times he had been seen by many people with various eyes on the kung fu he had come along the way.
"I said, I'm just asking you to settle in cash, can you cheat me like this?" finally waited until there was no one else around, Zheng Zheng muttered in a low voice to Wang Zhao beside him.
Wang Zhao held Zheng Bei and didn't feel embarrassed at all. She approached Zheng Zheng and whispered, "What? Are you afraid of him? Why didn't I see it? Did you sweep him very well at the auction, why didn't you see you scared at that time?"
"We can collectively call it a small festival, which is not of the same nature as this. ”
Zheng Zheng said as he leaned to the side. Wang Zhao is not low, and now he is holding him again, so it is easy to spray the hot air between breaths on his ears when he speaks, which makes Zheng Zheng have goosebumps on half of his body. However, looking at Wang Zhao's calm expression, she didn't seem to realize that her current actions were extremely ambiguous.
"There are two kinds of hatred that can be said to be incompatible, one is the revenge of killing the father, and the other is the current situation. Zheng Zheng pointed to Wang Zhao's hand holding his arm with a wry smile, and said: "Although I don't mind hitting Zheng Bei, but we were a little holiday at most before, but after today, Zheng Bei is estimated to be a wife that I don't share." ”.
"It's not what you think, I'm not in that relationship with him. ”
While talking, the two had already walked out of the gate of the Zheng family's mansion. Wang Zhao let go of Zheng Bei's hand, shook his head and said: "It's just that I met him when I was playing with antiques before, and he helped me see a lot of antiques, so I can be regarded as acquaintance." But then he wanted to chase me, but I refused. ”
"It's a pity......"
"What's a pity?" Wang Zhao looked at Zheng Zheng and raised his eyebrows.
