Chapter 4 On Apologies
"Sir, our store has enough procedures to prove the authenticity of this painting, I understand that there is such a doubt in your mind, after all, not everyone can understand the master's work, but after all, it is a matter of the reputation of the store, please be careful." When the shopkeeper spoke, his face was serious and conclusive, showing Wang Chen's questioning, which brought him great harm and a challenge to him and the credibility of his shop.
Wang Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the other party's soft and prickly words, and he turned his head to look the shopkeeper up and down.
Then, he held Da Hei in his right hand and said to the lower left corner of the scroll with his left index finger: "This painting is too contrasting, I can't believe its authenticity, you don't have to talk to me about any reputation or not, let's be straight, how much does this painting cost?" ”
When Wang Chen spoke, he kept looking at the scroll, so he didn't notice that when he revealed the human world badge on his left chest, the corner of the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly twitched imperceptibly.
"I'm very sorry, valued guest, I forgot to mention just now, this is actually not for sale in our store, it is only for viewing, not for sale. This was my negligence, and I'm really sorry. The shopkeeper suddenly changed his previous color and said to Wang Chen very kindly.
Wang Chen looked at the shopkeeper again, he knew very well that this guy was definitely with the mentality of knocking on a stroke before, otherwise this shopkeeper put on an unfathomable posture, but he said so much, what is the point? ?
So the shopkeeper had absolutely only one purpose before, that is, to sell this painting to himself at a high price! It's just that now it's suddenly changed.
Wang Chen didn't know why the other party changed his hexagram, anyway, he didn't care, it didn't matter if people didn't sell it, the business had to be consensual.
Wang Chen, who had put out his thoughts, turned his attention to other objects, and he found that there seemed to be a lot of antiques here, and there were some paintings, the price was three or five hundred thousand Davis, and the style seemed to be similar to that painting, which was just the painting that Bobo and Dafang looked at, a little more warmth.
Suddenly, Wang Chen's sleeve was ripped off, and he found Bobo looking at him, with great anticipation in his eyes, and Bobo's hand was pointing at the painting.
"Wang Chen"
"Buy~"
So, the rich three generations did not hesitate for a minute, and immediately said to the shopkeeper: "Since your painting is in the store, then don't tell me if this kind of sale is not sold, things will have a price after all, you say a price, I bought this painting, but you don't report it too expensive, after all, I come from the human world, here is close to the airport, more than the price in my heart too much, I will trouble at most, buy it and take it back to the airport to appraise the value." ”
The shopkeeper is smiling at the moment, but his heart is dripping blood, he actually has great expectations for this painting, don't look at the painting is placed in the corner, but he deliberately placed it, and even in order to highlight the painting, he also specially moved the objects on the side to make room for an open space, in order to set off this painting.
This kind of hidden technique can be described as a hundred tried-and-true methods, and he can always sell things for a high price, and this painting is carefully prepared, and he has put a lot of effort into it.
Now that such a generous customer has come to the store, he was looking forward to it very much, after all, seeing Wang Chen's boldness in other people's stores, his eyes were also hot.
But the problem is that he suddenly discovered that this grandfather is from the human world, the human leader surnamed Hu in the airport, and he is famous for his protection of the same race and his brutality towards the alien race, and for this reason, he has been imprisoned, or even directly killed in the airport, there are dozens of them, not to mention those he has heard.
And the key is that after killing so many aliens, the leader of the people is still sitting steadily, and his life is even more nourishing, what does this mean? This means that those who die are dead in vain! No one dared to resist at all. yes, who would dare to resist? Humans have a backstage.
Thinking of the shopkeeper here, he had some thoughts in his heart, he felt that if the Aoxue City Lord was still alive, the status of Davis might not be so humble and embarrassing.
'Hey' the shopkeeper sighed in his heart, and for a moment he thought about it a lot.
Suddenly!
His eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable to him, that robot was holding the painting in his hand! But that's not the point, the key is the painting in the robot's hand, only the part in the lower left corner! The painting was cut straight away!
"What for! How can you do that? The shopkeeper immediately shouted.
Bobo, who was holding up the painting in front of Dafang, wanted to be praised, heard this angry shout, suddenly his whole body shook, turned his head quickly, and saw the shopkeeper's angry expression, Bobo looked straight at the shopkeeper, and slowly his big eyes were splashed, the shopkeeper's expression made him very scared, and the idea of asking for praise also escaped from his mind, Bobo's eyes trembled violently, and he didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper anymore, but quickly hid behind Dafang, and buried his head in Dafang's thighs, My heart was full of grievances and fears.
Dafang raised his eyes and swept his gaze to the shopkeeper, without waiting for him to speak, Wang Chen directly glared at his eyes and said loudly: "What are you yelling at?" What's there to shout about? I just told you that everything has a price, and if the painting is damaged, it will lose your money, are you afraid that we will pay the debt? ”
The shopkeeper was angry at this time, and said loudly: "I said that this is not for sale, you still have to buy it, I don't sell it, and you still damage the painting, you say you lose money?" Yes, I'm telling you now that this is a priceless treasure, you can pay for it. ”
When Wang Chen heard this, his eyebrows raised, and he blinked a few times, but he was not angry but chuckled: "Priceless treasure? Hehe, okay, it's only natural to break things and lose money, but since it's a contradiction between the two of us, we can't just listen to what your side says, right? In this way, let's go to the airport together, as long as the other side says that this is a priceless treasure, then how should I pay for it, how about I go now? ”
At this moment, Wang Chen has already figured out the reason for the shopkeeper's previous hexagram, it should be his identity as a human in the human world, or rather the badge is working, when he proposed to buy non-for sale, he clearly saw it, the flicker in the shopkeeper's eyes, thinking of the arrogance and domineering of the officer in the airport before, Wang Chen figured everything out.
Human beings have a background.
At the same time, Wang Chen was also sure that Bobo may not have done anything wrong, because the professor did not stop Bobo's practice of cropping the scroll, and the professor's approach has always been the key to everything. So Wang Chen is now very happy to take the shopkeeper to the airport.
"You, you are so arrogant and unreasonable!" The shopkeeper gasped.
Wang Chen's face was puzzled, and he raised his eyes and asked, "Unreasonable?" Who is unreasonable now? The painting is broken, that's why I asked for compensation, you keep saying that this is a priceless treasure, I don't believe it, so I have to appraise, this is what you say is unreasonable? So now you can make some sense, and I will listen to it? ”
Wang Chen said again: "After thinking about it, let's talk about it, if you have to say that your truth is the truth, then I will contact the airport now and let them judge it." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper was very depressed in his heart, now Davis is almost controlled by the spirit world, and there are only the airport and several other four-city spheres of influence, and the spirit world has not interfered, so this is one of the few rare places of comfort, but this comfort is also not without a price, you have to look at the face of the "people" and abide by the rules of the "people".
The question is that this human "person", or that sentence, "person" has a background.
He is a native of Daxing, and he doesn't dare to confront Bo Gong with "people" at all.
Wang Chen looked at the shopkeeper's sullen expression at the moment, but he felt some sympathy for the low status of the Davidians, of course, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, because he was meant to be reasonable.
And the shopkeeper's next sentence made Wang Chen's little sympathy disappear immediately.
The shopkeeper said: "Forget it, you are amazing, I admit that I am unlucky, you accompany me with 300,000 Davis coins, and then apologize, forget it." ”
Wang Chen immediately wanted to burst into foul language, he has always had a deep-rooted concept in this kind of thing.
In his opinion, this matter is just a transaction from beginning to end, since it is placed in a normal store, then the thing must be sold, whether you are to show off, or to set off the price, it shows that this thing can be measured by money, so since you want to use money to measure, don't talk about any apologies, don't talk about money if you ask for an apology.
If you want to be a bitch, you still have to look at him Wang Chen, do you want to be on it!
Just as Wang Chen opened his mouth to scold, a generous and flat voice came into his ears, and Wang Chen immediately chose to shut up and stop speaking.
"Someone really should apologize for this matter, and you think it's us who should apologize, I don't think so."
The shopkeeper involuntarily shifted his attention to Dafang, who suddenly spoke out.
"You painted this picture, right?" Dafang pointed to the painting in the corner that was missing the lower left corner and asked the shopkeeper.
Dafang's words made the shopkeeper's pupils shrink suddenly, because Dafang was right, and Dafang's next sentence made him break out in a cold sweat.
"But the one in the lower left corner was drawn by a girl, because of your mentality, it is impossible to draw it, are you right?"
After Wang Chen heard this, his face suddenly flushed with disdain for the deceitful.
