What will go wrong, will always go wrong - Murphy's Law
Is this it? A man over forty years old looked out of the rain and saw a delicate jewelry store in front of him, with a dazzling array of goods that should attract the favor of many women. However, perhaps because of the heavy rain, no one even walked on the street, so naturally there would be no customers in this store.
But. The man looked at the store and still couldn't believe that this was the place introduced by a friend who swore that he could solve his problems. Also, this place called Buqing is obviously selling jewelry, how can you still drink tea.
Despite his doubts, he pushed open the heavy glass door and stepped inside.
This is a very beautiful and stylish jewelry store, and it is not hidden under the glass that can prevent bullets, as is the case with ordinary shops, but is exposed to the light. And it's not just the beautiful gemstone crystal, you can also see some antique vases from time to time. Those delicate gadgets were exposed in front of his eyes, even if he was a man with no vision, he would inevitably be a little excited. After all, even if it is fake, these things are exquisite enough to attract the attention of others, not to mention, there is no one in the store at the moment.
Yes, although this is a private house, but the store is not small, it is empty, only bright lights are telling him, he definitely did not enter some haunted house.
Even so, he was still a little flustered in his heart, after all, he was secretly hiding his family, and only his only friend knew the purpose of his crossing thousands of miles to come here. If it is known, I am afraid that his originally peaceful world will be completely shattered.
"Is anyone there?" As a man, this fear did not affect him, and his deep voice echoed through the room.
It's a pity that no one answered.
He frowned, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene. My friend patted his chest and promised that he could solve his own problem, but there was no one to solve it, who would solve it for him? Is it really looking for ghosts?
He was thinking wildly when there was movement at the door, and when he turned around, three men pushed the door and entered.
The one at the front was thin and small, and he looked ordinary, and he seemed to be a little flustered when he saw him.
The one behind him was the complete opposite, tall and bright, but his first reaction when he saw him was to move to the side, just so that he could see the third person.
This man can be regarded as straight, but it's a pity that the guy in front of him is too big, and he covers his tall figure tightly, even if he gets out of the way, he hasn't seen a little bit yet.
But this was enough for him to see, this handsome man patted the water droplets on his suit, strode over to him, and asked with a polite smile, "Guest, do you want to buy jewelry for Madame?" ”
"Uh, no." Despite some hesitation, he said, "I'm here for tea." ”
Coming to this kind of place for tea? It's a joke to say, you don't go to the cafes and teahouses on the street, go to the jewelry store to drink tea, even if you are a VIP of others, you can't come to visit with a heart to drink tea.
But the other party didn't have any surprised looks, as if he had already known his purpose, and said with a smile: "In this case, this is not a convenient place, please follow me." ”
He led the way in front and led him into a room next door.
He thought it was just a rest room, but when he turned on the light, he realized that it was only a wall away, but it was like walking into another world.
The space outside is gorgeous and exquisite, and even if there are some retro things inside, it just adds a few different shades.
But the room in front of you is a complete sense of history.
An ancient bookshelf, a coffee table with rattan weaving, and a sandpot with red sandalwood. He is not interested in history at all, but he has to admit that the master's ingenuity is unique, and even a layman like him has a feeling of going to ancient times.
It seems that this is the place, he is also a little anxious, he can't take care of much, he sat directly on the chair, and said to the young man in front of him who looked definitely less than twenty-five, who should be just an ordinary clerk: "Quickly call the shopkeeper out, I have something urgent." ”
The other party sat down directly opposite him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I'm sorry, I'm the shopkeeper." ”
His brow furrowed even deeper.
It's not that I think the other party is joking, after all, it's not easy to pretend to be someone else's identity, and in this case, it's easy to debunk, this young man shouldn't be stupid enough to do that. It's just that at such a young age, can you really do that?
It's all here, and he can't care about it so much, so he said directly: "I was introduced by a friend of Tongguò, but he can say that this shop called Buqing, the owner is an old man in his seventies, and you are too young." ”
The other party skillfully made himself a cup of tea, but did not pour it for him: "The one you are talking about is my second grandfather, his old man died two years ago, and I am now taking over this shop." ”
I see.
But the young man in front of him is still the reason why he is not at ease, after all, at such a young age, no one will doubt whether he is reliable.
seemed to see his doubts, and the other party said unceremoniously: "I see that you still seem to have doubts about us, since you were introduced by a friend, then I am not welcome." ”
"You should have heard about our rules from your friends, and you should know that if we are not sure of something, we will not take it lightly. After all, if things hadn't been done well, the store would have closed down a long time ago. I've been in charge for two years, and although I don't have enough experience, most things are not a problem, not to mention, we will sign an agreement with guests, after all, we don't do murder and arson. If you don't feel at ease like this, you can leave and solve it through other channels, and no one will stop you. ”
If it can be solved through other channels, then why should he find this kind of place again, he didn't run away from those detective agencies or anything, and he didn't get anything at all, so he was willing to spend a lot of money to come over. He snorted coldly, but he still couldn't move his feet.
The other party seemed to have seen through it a long time ago, and handed over a menu: "Please order." ”
"No, a cup of Junshan silver needle."
The other party raised his eyebrows: "The guests know that our tea here, no matter what variety it is, is the best selection, so this cup is five thousand." ”
"I know." He closed his eyes and seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, "As long as you can find him, let alone 5,000, 50 million can smash the pot and sell iron to you." ”
