Chapter 22: The Bet
"It's okay, this incident was caused by me, don't be afraid, I'll be responsible!" Seeing Chen Ting trembling like a frightened bird, Su Yi comforted her with a smile.
Seeing that someone was responsible for the consequences for herself, Chen Ting's red and swollen eyes couldn't help but light up, but in a blink of an eye, she dimmed again, and sobbed and said, "No, it's not you, woo..... It's nothing to do with you, it's not about you, woo...... I broke it, woo woo ......"
"Don't be afraid, get up first, see that your knees are broken, are you okay? You don't need to go to the hospital first, don't worry, I will pay for this money!" Putting his ID card in his pocket, Su Yi helped the thin Chen Ting to stand up.
"You can afford it, can you afford it?" Xu Donghai broke out, and yelled at Su Yi with a hideous face: "The work I spent three months of hard work to make, let her break it all at once, three months of hard work, you tell me, how do you compensate?"
In Xu Donghai's hands, a crack on the woodcarved cornucopia about half a centimeter wide and about seven or eight centimeters long was impressive.
"Yes, Lao Xu has indeed put a lot of effort into carving this work, although the discount of 20,000 yuan is a bit empty, it is not too outrageous!"
"I heard that Lao Xu lost seven or eight pounds for this!"
"Lao Xu's work is really good, both the materials and the carving are the pinnacle for him!"
"That's right, Lao Xu's cornucopia should be able to fetch a higher price if you meet someone you like, but it's a pity!"
......
Listening to the lively discussions, Xu Donghai showed an imperceptible sneer on his face, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to knock Su Yi hard, but the discussion of the peers next to him made him change his mind, not mentioning money, only letting Su Yi compensate for his own works, and increasing the compensation price in disguise.
"Then tell me, what do you want to do?" Su Yi saw that Xu Donghai's eyes flickered a little, and after a little thought, he understood his plan, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to help you fix this cornucopia?"
"Can you fix it? Who do you think you are?" Xu Donghai laughed angrily when he saw Su Yi speak wildly, "If you can repair this work to its original appearance, I will give you 20,000 yuan!"
It's not that there are no people who specialize in repairing wood carvings, but they are all famous masters, and the young man in front of him who has not grown all his hair said that he will repair wood carvings, not only Xu Donghai, everyone present thinks that Su Yi is bragging, including Chen Ting, who has been wiping tears.
"Young man, it's not terrible to do something wrong, it's not a good thing to learn to brag at a young age!" said a middle-aged man in a gray T-shirt next to him, shaking his head.
"Yes, young people should be realistic, apologize to Lao Xu, he should be able to make you pay less!"
"Young people nowadays, their words are getting more and more out of shape, repairing wood carvings is not assembling tables and cabinets, it looks bad and can be dismantled and rebuilt, how can it be so easy!" The person who spoke was an old man in his sixties, he was standing outside the crowd, and no one noticed him.
"Look, Xu Lao can't stand it anymore, you must know that Xu Lao is an authority on the restoration of wood products, and even the Forbidden City has invited him to repair the dragon chair!"
"Hey, it's really Xu Lao, Xu Lao is good!"
"I've even been to the Forbidden City, tsk, Xu Lao, you are definitely my idol!"
......
"Don't, don't, don't dare to be," Xu Lao was also sincere, and when he saw that everyone was praising him, he shook his hand and smiled: "It's true that the Forbidden City has been there, and it was also the one who followed my master back then, so I just followed it!"
Xu Lao's name is Xu Chenglin, a famous master of wood products restoration in Binzhou City, not only wood carving, but also wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds and so on.
"What do you mean?" Su Yi didn't squint, stared at Xu Donghai and asked coldly, he didn't know who Xu Chenglin was, so he didn't even pay attention to his ridicule, he only had one thought in his heart, this female volunteer suffered because of himself, and he had to give her an explanation.
Seeing that Su Yi actually called a board with him, and in front of so many people, Xu Donghai couldn't take it back, not to mention that he didn't believe that Su Yi could really repair this cornucopia, his eyes rolled, and he said with a sneer: "With everyone present to testify, I can still lie to you as a hairy boy." But," Speaking of this, Xu Donghai changed his words: "What if you can't fix it?"
"I'll pay you double!"
"You ......" Seeing this, Chen Ting couldn't help but pull Su Yi's arm in a hurry, can the cracked wood be repaired as good as ever?
"The young man is too angry!"
"It's really unbelievable!"
"Don't stop him, let him be strong, this kind of person won't have a long memory if he doesn't suffer a loss!" Xu Lao's eyes were full of mockery, this cracked cornucopia wood carving made him dare not say that he could repair it 100%, not to mention a young man who had not dried up, at this time, Xu Lao's impression of Su Yi was so bad that it was too arrogant.
"Well, in a word......"
"Don't yet, I still haven't finished speaking," Xu Donghai interrupted Su Yi's words, and said with a grim sneer: "When it comes to the ugly words, I will only give you three days, and you have to find someone I trust as a guarantee, otherwise I will find someone I will go to if you run away!"
Three days?
Everyone present was stupid, Xu Donghai didn't want to give Su Yi a little way to live, although everyone was not good at repairing wood carvings, but as carvers, they still have common sense in the restoration of wood carvings, even if Su Yi can repair wood carvings, but this job will take at least a week to complete, this is still the case that all conditions are met, otherwise it will take longer, three days, I am afraid that even half of it will not be completed.
When everyone thought that Su Yi would refuse on the spot, Su Yi stretched out a finger and said endlessly: "No need, I only need one day, and I will give you a good cornucopia at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"Arrogance!" Xu Chenglin was so angry that he flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left, in one day, do you think this is repairing a bicycle?
"Sick, this is!"
"Lao Xu, you have been tricked!"
"One day, I'll take your lungs, if you can fix it one day, I'll eat Xiang!"
"Okay, as long as you can find a guarantor!" Xu Donghai said with a cruel smile, he didn't care how long Su Yi would take, all he was thinking about was money, double the money, that was forty thousand.
Guarantor? This made Su Yi embarrassed, his grandfather had passed away, who else dared to vouch for himself? This is not 400 yuan, but 40,000 yuan.
Among the people I know who have some abilities, Song Zhengming is not good, Qin Tao is not good, and Shen Guoqiang is even worse.
Who to look for, just when Su Yi was in a dilemma, he suddenly found a familiar figure, and this person was hiding in the crowd and looking at him with gloating eyes.
