Chapter 68: A dilemma

I'm used to seeing her fierce look, and now she actually says thank you to me with a smile, which makes me a little embarrassed.

I quickly responded, "What is there to thank." Then he went into the bathroom.

Since that night, Yanan's attitude towards me has become ...... It's even worse.

She began to play the role of the second master, waking me up early in the morning every day, forcing me to practice, and even the time I took the medicated bath was strangled to death by her, twice a day, each time never more than fifteen minutes.

In fact, I have always regarded taking a medicated bath as a kind of rest, but I can't bear to keep urging me outside the bathhouse, so that I have no personal space at all.

During that time, the most common sentence she said was: "Do you know how high the second master's expectations are for you, you are so lazy and lazy all day long, are you worthy of the second master and yourself?" ”

She's like that, she likes everything and lives under the same roof with her, and to be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure.

Boss Yu posted a rental information outside the stationery store, but no one came for three days in a row.

For this, Yan Yanan and Boss Jiang both felt very strange, I heard them say that in the past, as long as there was a vacant room in the alley, there would be someone from the sect to come over to take over, of course, the sect would not send its own people, all of them were weak and naturally easy to see ghosts.

The stationery store is still empty, and I feel that both Yan Yanan and Boss Jiang have become a little flustered.

But I don't know why they are panicking, isn't it just a store, no one comes to subscribe to the rent now, and someone will still come sooner or later.

In the past few days, he also explained to me in detail how the thrift store operates, and also told me in detail how to set the price if someone comes to sell things.

Like the antique market, the antiquities here are also priced according to the age, workmanship and historical value, but in addition to the above three points, we also have to consider the spirit of the antiquities, the same quality of antiquities, the more mellow and clean the spirit of the charm, the higher the price.

Yan Yanan instructed me that if the seller sells an antiquity earlier than the Ming Dynasty, he should inquire in detail whether there is a special historical allusion to this thing and its specific origin.

If the seller lies about these two things, for whatever reason, the other party will return the money to us, but we will not return it.

In addition, she also prepared a price reference table for me, and she said that if I don't know how to set the price, I will carefully look through the comparison table.

On the fourth day of the announcement of the leasing information, the second master called and said that he had unilaterally decided to rent the store to Li Huaishan, and asked us to withdraw the leasing information.

If it weren't for the second master making this call, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as Li Huaishan.

When I answered the phone, I turned on the speakerphone, and she heard the words of the second master clearly.

She asked me who Li Huaishan was, and I didn't know how to introduce this person, but I just said that he was originally a local snake of the Furniture City generation, but now I look at it, this guy is very likely to be a half-clear.

After the second master made this call, the stationery store was still empty, and Li Huaishan did not come for a long time.

I thought that my days in Lao Xiangkou would be calm day by day, but unfortunately I was wrong, and on the weekend after the second master made a call, I made a move.

Yan Yanan reminded me early in the morning, she said that she would not fight with me openly, he would use his hands and feet from the shadows, and even did not hesitate to kill people with a knife.

But she didn't say that she was a person who liked to do everything, and as long as he made a move, he wouldn't leave me a way out.

This morning, I was still woken up early as usual. After breakfast, I went to the hall for morning exercises, while Yanan sat on the sofa as usual, looking through her ledger.

It was about nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door of the store, and I was about to open it, when I glanced at me and waved my hand, signaling me not to move.

It wasn't until the door was knocked a few more times that she walked up to the door and opened it open a gap two fingers wide.

From the position where I was standing, I could see the scene outside the crack in the door, and I saw a young man with a beautiful face standing outside, wearing a white tunic with a straight nose and mouth, with a hint of elegance in his eyes, and his eyebrows seemed to have been specially trimmed.

Yan Yanan looked outside, then slowly opened the door, and then turned around and said to me: "This is Yu Wenzhong, the senior disciple of the Great Luomen, and their sect is the old patron of the Yu family." ”

After Yu Wenzhong entered the door, he first bowed to Yan Yanan, and then turned to my side: "You are the senior apprentice of the second master, right?" I heard that there was a new shopkeeper in the store, so I came to take a look, hehe, I deserve to be the heir of the bone-destroying hand, and the appearance is really extraordinary! ”

Extraordinary? , it's not.

I still know what I look like, although I'm not ugly, but I'm definitely not handsome, in the past, it's no different from passers-by, but since my true nature has been stimulated, I have to half-close my eyes every day, and it looks like I can't wake up.

This man complimented me as soon as I met him, which made me feel a little more vigilant.

Yan Yanan didn't seem to have a good impression of the person in front of him, and asked him with a frown: "You didn't just come to see Ruofei, right?" ”

"Oh, it's a coincidence," Yu Wenzhong said as he took out a jade pendant from his jacket pocket: "I got such a piece of jade two days ago. Master calculated that today was an auspicious day and I could make a move, so I rushed over and asked the new shopkeeper to give me an estimate. ”

Yan Yanan took the jade pendant from his hand, and then frowned: "Just an estimate?" ”

In the text: "I want to sell." It's okay to swap it out with something else that's worth the same price. ”

I approached the man and took the pendant from her hand.

This thing is indeed not a mortal thing, the spiritual charm on it is mellow and clear, and it looks like it has been specially refined. It's just that the texture of the jade doesn't seem to be very good, the impurities inside can be seen with the naked eye, and there is a golden Arhat statue engraved on the jade surface, but the workmanship is very rough, and the Arhat's eyes are crooked, just like a person who doesn't know the craft can draw it out with a knife.

I asked Yu in the text, "What age is it?" ”

Yu in the article: "I heard that the people of the old family don't know how to recognize the ancients? Why, the new shopkeeper didn't get this inheritance? ”

I said: "This piece of jade, the original stone should be unearthed during the Republic of China, and the chain of hanging jade is a product of the Yongzheng period." ”

Yu Wen looked a little displeased: "Since the shopkeeper knows everything, why do you still ask me?" ”

I pursed my lips: "I want to ask, when was this golden-bodied Arhat statue engraved?" How can I see that there is still any jade powder left in the nicks? ”

"The new shopkeeper is really discerning," Yu Wenzhong said to me with a smile: "This Arhat was engraved by me only yesterday." ”

Did you engrave it yourself?

I looked at him for a moment, and then he asked him again, "Where did you get this piece of jade?" ”

Yu Wenzhong smiled and said, "It was given to me by the master, and the spiritual rhyme on the jade body was also specially injected by the master." Hehe, the new shopkeeper, estimate the price, right? ”

As he spoke, his gaze kept moving back and forth between me and Ya Nan, and I vaguely felt that there was a hint of schadenfreude in his smile.

Since the other party spoke, I pondered, anyway, let's estimate the price first.

But I was thinking about how to set the price, so I took the jade from my hand and stuffed it into Yu Wenzhong's hand.

Yu Wen picked the corners of his mouth: "It seems that the new shopkeeper doesn't plan to accept this thing?" ”

Yan Yanan immediately responded: "We need to negotiate the price." ”

With that, she pulled me up and quickly entered the porch, and I asked her in the back, "What's wrong?" She ignored me, and just walked deeper into the porch with her head shut.

It wasn't until I entered the big room at the end of the porch that Yan Yanan said to me, "You must have asked him to stir up the situation!" ”

I was a little puzzled: "Isn't he just here to sell jade, how did he become a troublemaker?" ”

Yan Yanan clasped his hands and said with some annoyance: "That piece of jade is very troublesome, although the spirit is very sufficient, it is indeed a treasure, but the texture and workmanship are very poor, once this thing is purchased, it will not be sold within a hundred years." But if we don't buy it, we'll get married to Da Luomen. ”

I scratched my temples, "What do you mean?" Why can't it be sold in a hundred years, don't you also say that it is a treasure? ”

Yan Yanan: "Because the spirit on the jade is the master of the contemporary Da Luomen Gate." In our industry, each sect has its own inheritance, and each sect thinks that its own inheritance is the most brilliant in the world, so absolutely no one will buy the Lingyun of the master of the Great Roman, if they do so, it is equivalent to admitting that their own inheritance is not as good as the Great Roman. A hundred years later, this piece of jade may still be sold as an ordinary antiquity, but the price will definitely not be too high. ”

When I heard her say this, I realized that the water in this business was deeper than I imagined.

I said, "What if you say no outright?" ”

Yan Yanan shook his head: "The contemporary master of the Great Romans is a high-minded and arrogant person, if we refuse directly, he will think that we look down on him and their inheritance of the Great Romans. At that time, he will definitely come to the house's house to make trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Yanan paused for a moment, and then said: "This is a dilemma. Buy, there will definitely be a deficit in this month's accounts, don't buy, once we tie up with Da Luomen, although there is no loss in the store, but this at least shows that you will not deal with interpersonal relationships in the industry. No matter how you choose, you will leave a truth there. ”

I said, "Then buy it, if there is a deficit, there will be a deficit, and then find a chance to make up for it later?" ”

"Do you have any brains?" Yan Yanan was suddenly annoyed: "This month is your observation period, and now there has been a murder in the alley, if there is a deficit in the accounts again, you don't have to do it as a shopkeeper." ”

I'm also a little irritable: "Then don't buy it." ”

Yan Yanan: "If you don't buy it, you can't do it, once you offend Da Luomen, the family is very likely to remove you in order to take care of their face." Alas, I didn't expect the little devil to be so ruthless, and he forced us into a dead end in one round. Now it's the end of the month again, and once there is a deficit in the accounts, it is too late to remedy it. ”

I've been in contact with Yan Yanan for so long, and I've never seen her like this, obviously hating the root of her teeth, but there is nothing she can do.

This guy is really powerful.
