Chapter 137: Greed is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
The person who took the peony bottle and mortgaged it to Mr. Wu was named Yang Lin, and he said a word of gratitude to Mr. Wu, and then he said the purpose of coming here today, in order to redeem the peony bottle that he had mortgaged to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu was very surprised when he saw Yang Lin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly come to the door, and then listened to Yang Lin's intention today, and immediately his face turned green, and he was silent for a long time without speaking.
And Yang Lin didn't seem to see the expression on Mr. Wu's face, and said to himself: "This time it's thanks to Mr. Wu, it's not difficult to borrow money and borrow it again, I have a check for 500,000 yuan here, Mr. Wu, please accept it." β
Mr. Wu glanced at the check on the table and said nothing.
"The peony bottle was favored by a friend, and I was willing to pay 600,000 yuan to accept it, I didn't want to agree, after all, I also liked the peony bottle, but that friend really liked it, and I had no choice but to agree. The man was still afraid that I would regret it, so he even paid the deposit, and urged me to bring him the peony bottle, which was really helpless. Yang Lin sighed and said helplessly.
"You're going to take the twig peony bottle back today?" Mr. Wu hesitated.
Yang Lin nodded: "Of course that's the case, I've already prepared the check, and the friend who wanted to accept my twig peony bottle also gave a deposit first, and I don't want to delay it." β
"This ......," Mr. Wu hesitated.
Seeing this, Yang Lin couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter, isn't there something wrong with my twig peony bottle?" β
"No, no......" Mr. Wu shook his head and denied it, but how to look at it made people feel that his expression was a little unnatural.
"Since there is no problem, then don't bother. I have already made an appointment with that friend, and I will trouble Mr. Wu to accept the check and take out my twig peony bottle. Yang Lin's face was relieved, and he smiled again.
"It's just that I also like the twigged peony bottle, I don't know if I can ......" Mr. Wu gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Lindao.
"This ...... I'm afraid not, I've already promised someone else, and I've also received a deposit, if I regret it, I'll pay three times the compensation. Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu with great embarrassment.
After hearing this, Mr. Wu showed a very disappointed expression on his face.
"Mr. Wu, don't do this. I ......" Yang Lin looked at the disappointed Mr. Wu, thought for a while, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Mr. Wu: "That's good, how to say it, Mr. Wu, you helped me get through the difficulties." If Mr. Wu really likes that twig-twig peony bottle, I'll give it to you, but it's just the deposit to be paid for breaking the contract with someone......"
Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu. The meaning is very clear.
He can give the peony bottle to Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu is responsible for compensating for three times the deposit caused by the breach of the contract, so Mr. Wu needs to be responsible.
Mr. Wu hesitated, looked at Yang Lin and asked, "How much deposit did the other party pay you?" β
"30,000." Yang Lin stretched out three fingers. Then he said, "If you triple it, it's 90,000." β
"90,000!" Mr. Wu frowned.
Yang Lin sighed: "I think it's good, I borrowed 500,000 from Mr. Wu before." And my friend bid 600,000 yuan to accept my twig peony bottle, if Mr. Wu really likes it, I won't increase the price, then the twig peony bottle will be given to Mr. Wu at a price of 500,000. β
In this way, Mr. Wu seems to have given 10,000 yuan less, after all, people paid 600,000 yuan to collect the peony bottle. Moreover, the minimum estimate of this "real" tangled peony bottle is also 5 or 600,000 yuan, and if Mr. Wu collects it for 590,000 yuan, it will not be considered a loss, and maybe he can make a profit when he changes hands.
"This ......," Mr. Wu seemed to waver.
Yang Lin rolled his eyes, and continued: "To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. Wu, you." I'm never going to do anything like that, and I'll have to apologize to that friend when the time comes. But it can't be helped, who asked Mr. Wu to help me. If I don't agree, I'm a little embarrassed. β
Mr. Wu nodded heavily and let out a sigh.
Yang Lin was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and wanted to take back his check, but before he could touch the check, he was taken away by Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu quickly put away the check and said to Yang Lin: "Although I like that twig peony bottle, but I can't let you do that kind of thing, that is not good for your reputation, I think you should let you give the twig peony bottle to your friends." β
"Mr. Wu......" Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu in a daze, a little unable to react.
Mr. Wu ignored Yang Lin, who was stunned, and went directly into the back room, and asked people to take out the peony bottle and gently put it in front of Yang Lin.
Yang Lin's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief: "This tangled peony bottle ......"
"This is your twig-twig peony bottle, I keep it well, and there is absolutely no mistake." Mr. Wu looked at Yang Lin with a smile.
This time it was Yang Lin's face darkened, and he stared at Mr. Wu tightly, while Mr. Wu changed his previous hesitant appearance and looked at Yang Lin very easily.
Yang Lin was shocked in his heart, and immediately realized that he had been tricked!
"Mr. Wu, you ......" Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu with a gloomy face.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Wu pretended to be puzzled and looked at Yang Lin, and then seemed to think of something, and said to Yang Lin: "By the way, you went to the field some time ago, there is something you may not know, I received another peony bottle a few days ago, which is a little similar to yours, and I also specially held a party for everyone to enjoy, who knew that it was recognized as a fake, but I was so angry that I smashed it on the spot." Alas, it seems that my eyes will have to be wiped in the future, but I can't trust others casually, or ......"
Yang Lin kept an iron face, didn't say anything, and finally left Mr. Wu's house with his twig-wrapped peony bottle.
Mr. Wu looked at Yang Lin's departing back and let out a disdainful snort, but this time he finally got his money back, and he was still very happy. immediately called Qin Sheng, and after explaining the situation, Zhidao wanted to invite Qin Sheng and Gu Ming to dinner and thank him well.
Gu Ming was shopping with Han Lu when she received the news, and it was Bai Fangfang's birthday in a few days, and she wanted to buy a suitable gift for Bai Fangfang.
Han Lu heard Gu Ming say that Yang Lin actually just left with a fake entwined peony bottle, and she was very dissatisfied: "Why don't you let the police/inspector arrest him?" He's a scam, a scam! β
"How can you accuse him of fraud? This kind of person is a habitual offender at first glance, he didn't say that this tangled peony bottle was real, he just induced Mr. Wu to feel that the tangled peony bottle was real through certain behaviors. Then voluntarily lent money to him. And now he has come back with money to redeem the bottle, if you go to sue him, he can also quibble that he was also deceived by others, and he didn't know that the twigged peony bottle was fake, and he now brought the money to exchange it. What kind of scam is this? Gu Ming spread his hands and said.
"That's a bargain!" Han Lu said with a little indignation.
"Mr. Wu's main concern is not to hold him accountable, but to get his money back. But don't worry, Mr. Wu suffered such a big loss. You can't just leave it at that, you can't go directly to the police/prosecutor for this matter, but you can always do something. Gu Ming walked to the front of a counter, pointed to a silk scarf and asked, "How about you say I sent this silk scarf to Bai Fangfang?" β
"Okay." Han Lu shook his head. For the time being, the matter of the peony bottle was put aside.
Since Gu Ming said so, he thought of Mr. Wu's temperament. She believed that even if the person named Yang Lin would not be arrested, he would definitely not have a good time.
In fact, just as Gu Ming said, Mr. Wu suffered such a big loss, and he couldn't teach Yang Lin a lesson from the front, but it didn't prevent him from telling others the whole story of this matter.
It didn't take long for everyone to know that Mr. Wu angrily smashed the peony bottle with entwined branches, and he didn't name and say who that person was, but there were still many people who knew that person was Yang Lin, and they all distanced themselves from Yang Lin, and they never dared to have anything to do with Yang Lin in this regard.
Gradually. Yang Lin faded out of this circle, and soon everyone forgot about him, as if this person had never appeared before.
Although Mr. Wu did not clearly say that the person who helped him identify was Gu Ming. But everyone's hearts are transparent, and Gu Ming's name was unexpectedly remembered by more people. Many people secretly inquired about Gu Ming, thinking about whether they would look for Gu Ming in the future.
After Mr. Wu's affair was over, Professor Wang, who had been on a business trip for a long time, finally returned.
Originally, Professor Wang was just going to explain the matter of the golden jade clothes, and he would be back in a few days, but he encountered other things during the business trip, so he extended the business trip and missed the day when the new director took office.
The new official took office three times, and the new director really implemented this, and within a few days of his arrival, he carried out a major internal rectification, and many people were dragged to reprimand, even Gu Ming, a newcomer, did not escape.
But fortunately, she behaves well on weekdays, and she is not the focus of the new director, not so much to admonish her as to admonish.
The more miserable ones are those who like to drill camps and engage in small actions, and some people quietly gave gifts as soon as the new director took office, but they slapped the horse's leg and were directly criticized.
Among them, Wang Juan is the kind of person who is taken care of, I don't know why the new director seems to look at her unpleasantly, and he doesn't arrange work or anything for her, which makes Wang Juan's heart go up and down.
Now that Professor Wang is finally back, she asked Chen Peng to quickly intercede for her and see if she can follow Professor Wang's side.
