Chapter Eighty-Four: Redemption of Paintings
"We don't seem to owe you anything, do we?" Li Qiming looked into Boss Gao's eyes and said, "We don't understand your brainless words!" ”
"Is that you?" Boss Gao looked at Li Qiming and smiled disdainfully, "This has nothing to do with you!" ”
"He also has a share," Wang said, "and the four of them are in a gang, and he also has a stake in that matter!" ”
"I don't care who is in league with whom," said Boss Gao, "I just want my things!" ”
Qian Yongqiang glanced at Xiao Li and asked, "What is it?" ”
"It's the ancient painting I sold you some time ago." Xiao Li looked at Qian Yongqiang and lowered his head in shame.
"That painting is mine, Xiao Li secretly sold it to you without my consent," Boss Gao said, "I was very shocked after hearing about this, you are so bold, he dares to sell it, and you dare to buy it!" ”
"Xiao Li stole it?" Qian Yongqiang pretended to be surprised and asked, "I thought you knew about this!" ”
"Where do I know!" Boss Gao said angrily, "This kid sold it behind my back!" ”
"Boss Gao, we've been doing business with you for several years," Qian Yongqiang said, "Every time Xiao Li handles it, does he secretly sell things to us?" ”
"In the past, he was able to hand over the money to me every time he sold the goods," Boss Gao said, "It's just that this time he has a bad conscience, such a big business, he dared to do it privately without my consent, and he did it, and sent the money home!" ”
"Boss Gao, since you say so, then you can't blame us all for this matter!" Qian Yongqiang said, "We are also in the dark!" ”
"In the dark?" Boss Gao sneered and said, "Are you in the dark and you know in your hearts!" ”
"We also bought it with money!" Qian Yongqiang said, "Whether Xiao Li sells it secretly or not, that's a matter between you and Xiao Li, you should find Xiao Li and ask him for the money from selling the painting." What's the matter with you coming to us again? ”
"Xiao Li, I'm naturally looking for it," Boss Gao said, "He sent 10,000 yuan home to build a house, they are all villagers and relatives, why can't I tear down his house?" I asked him to work for me for two years to pay off my debts! ”
"It's not bad for Boss Gao to deal with it like this!" Qian Yongqiang said, "I not only recovered my losses for myself, but also gave Xiao Li a chance!" ”
Boss Gao smiled: "My account with Xiao Li has been settled, but how should I calculate my account with you?" ”
"We don't have a deal with you!" Li Qiming said.
Boss Gao glanced at Li Qiming and said, "You spent 20,000 yuan to buy an ancient painting worth 100,000 yuan, how can this account be calculated?" ”
"Who said it was worth 100,000?" Huang Youcai scolded, "Which turtle grandson is talking nonsense?" ”
"Civilization point!" Wang Jianxing said, "Didn't you sell it for 70,000 yuan? ”
"Who told you we sold for seventy thousand?" Wang Ziren stared at Wang Health and asked.
"You don't care about this!" Wang Jianxing said, "You guys sell it cheaply, that painting is worth 100,000 yuan at the lowest!" ”
"You guys are scamming," Boss Gao said, "take 20,000 yuan to defraud me of 100,000 things!" ”
"Then the things you collected for a few cents were sold for 20,000 yuan, isn't that even more fraud?" Li Qiming said.
Boss Gao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said, "You, you're raising the bar!" ”
Huang Youcai smiled: "That's it, he didn't raise the bar." ”
"Let's not talk about the price," Boss Gao is a veteran of the business after all, he said, "What do you say about the stolen goods?" ”
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you have made us miserable this time!" Huang Youcai pointed to Xiao Li's nose and said, "You can't be in charge of the house, why do you have to do it?" You explain this to Boss Gao. ”
Xiao Li lowered his head and said nothing, thinking to himself that I was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - I can't protect myself, what can I explain to you.
"Boss Gao's intention to come this time is not to embarrass you," Wang said with a smile, "He just wants to get back his own ancient paintings." ”
Qian Yongqiang was embarrassed and said: "It's really difficult to do business! ”
"Boss Qian, there's nothing to be embarrassed about," Wang Jianxing said, "You just need to return that ancient painting to Boss Gao, and the other Gao bosses don't want to delve into it." ”
"Xiao Wang, what does this matter have to do with you?" Huang Youcai said, "What are you doing here? ”
"I'm a friend of Boss Gao." Wang Jianxing said, "Boss Gao encountered such a big thing, can I not come?" ”
"Humph!" Huang Youcai said, "Don't be sentimental, when will Boss Gao have your friend?" ”
"He's my friend," Boss Gao said, "Although we've not known each other for a long time, he's a more righteous person, and I recognize this friend!" ”
When Wang Jianxing heard Boss Gao's words, he opened his mouth and smiled at Huang Youcai, revealing a mouthful of ugly big black teeth.
"You give me back the painting, and that's it!" Boss Gao said.
"It's easy to say," Qian Yongqiang said, "We bought this painting for 30,000 yuan, and we said we would pay it back?" ”
"How did 20,000 yuan become 30,000 yuan?" Boss Gao said, "Oh, I remembered, and later you compensated Xiao Li with 10,000 yuan - this is your private behavior, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Do you recognize the 20,000 yuan?" Wang Ziren asked.
"I admit 20,000." Boss Gao thought to himself, anyway, this painting can be sold for at least 70,000 yuan, as long as you give it to me, what does it matter if I recognize the 20,000 yuan. "Give me back the painting, I'll give you 20,000 yuan!"
"Then the 10,000 yuan you took will also be returned to us!" Qian Yongqiang looked at Xiao Li and said.
"But I don't have any money," Xiao Li looked at Boss Gao and said, "I won't have money in two years!" ”
"What about paintings?" Boss Gao asked.
"Where's the money?" Li Qiming asked rhetorically.
Boss Gao smiled, took out a stack of money from his bag, and put it on the table. Huang Youcai and Wang Ziren counted it, and it was exactly 20,000 yuan.
"Take out the painting!" Boss Gao looked at Qian Yongqiang and said with a sneer.
"I can't give you the painting now," Qian Yongqiang said, "I'm afraid you'll regret it when you get it!" ”
"Repentance?" Boss Gao was upset and said, "Am I the kind of capricious villain?" ”
"Write something." Qian Yongqiang found a pen and paper, put them on the table, and said, "Boss Gao, please!" ”
"Write what?" Boss Gao said, "I'll give you the money, you give me the painting, and we'll clear it up, what else do you want to write?" ”
"Write something, we are at ease with each other!" Qian Yongqiang said.
"How to write it?" Boss Gao said, "I haven't written anything like this!" ”
"You just write-" Qian Yongqiang said, "take back an ancient painting sold by employee Xiao Li on a certain day, month, and year, and today after negotiation between the two parties, they agreed to return it, and if anything happens after the money and goods are cleared, they must not fight each other." Then sign your name. ”
Boss Gao hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Jianxing: "You come to write, I will sign." ”
Wang Xianxing smiled, picked up the pen and waved it, then looked at Qian Yongqiang and them, and said in his heart, I see what you take out to Boss Gao.
Boss Gao looked at the black and white letters, and couldn't know much, so he asked Qian Yongqiang: "Is it okay for him to write like this?" ”
Qian Yongqiang nodded and said, "Yes." You sign it. ”
Boss Gao signed his name, then wrote the date, threw the pen away, and said, "Bring the painting!" ”
Qian Yongqiang motioned for Huang Youcai to take out the ancient painting. Huang Youcai put the painting on the table and opened it.
Boss Gao, Wang Jianxing, and Xiao Li were all stunned for a moment. They never dreamed that this painting had been sold, how could they get it - could it be that Qi Xiaofei's news was inaccurate?
"Xiao Li, let's see, is it the painting you sold us!" Qian Yongqiang said, "Look carefully, this is 30,000 yuan!" ”
Xiao Li hurriedly leaned on the table and looked carefully, and Wang Jianxing also immediately stepped forward and stared at it with wide eyes.
After a while, I saw the two of them look at each other and nod to each other.
"Is that the old painting you sold?" Boss Gao said to Xiao Li, "You have to see it clearly this time!" ”
"Yes, boss, I can see clearly, it's the ancient painting I sold." Xiao Li said, "I remember that painting clearly, what is there, what is broken - this is indeed the ancient painting!" ”
Boss Gao asked Wang Health again: "Is it that ancient painting?" ”
"Yes!" Wang Jianxing nodded and said, "That's right! ”
Boss Gao put the painting away, and was just about to leave, when Huang Youcai stepped forward to stop him: "Wait a minute, Boss Gao!" ”
"Anything else?"
"His 10,000 yuan hasn't been paid yet!" Huang Youcai pointed at Xiao Li and said.
"As I said, I don't have any money!" Xiao Li looked at Boss Gao and said.
"Look at what I'm doing, I don't have any money!" Boss Gao said impatiently.
"No money?" Huang Youcai said, "If you don't have money, it's okay to make an IOU!" ”
"I can't write." Xiao Li said.
"Ask him to write, you can sign it!" Huang Youcai pointed to Wang Health and said.
"But I haven't had a salary for the past two years, how can I pay you back?"
"It doesn't matter, when you have the money, when you pay it back!"
Wang Jianxing wrote, Xiao Li signed, and Huang Youcai let them out.
Back at the acquisition station, Boss Gao asked Wang Jianxing: "Didn't you say that they sold the paintings?" Why is it still in their hands? ”
"I don't know, it was Qi Xiaofei who saw them make the deal!" Wang Jianxing said, "Wait for Lao Jia and Qi Xiaofei to come over, and then you can ask them!" ”
After a while, Lao Jia and Qi Xiaofei walked in panting.
"You saw Qian Yongqiang and them selling that ancient painting with your own eyes?" When Boss Gao saw Qi Xiaofei and Lao Jia, he asked with a split face.
"See it with your own eyes!" Qi Xiaofei said, "I was at the scene when they counted the money, and I had never seen a big pile of money at that time, and it made my eyes glaze." Later, they invited guests to dinner, and I went to them, and finally took some money. ”
"So what's going on?" Boss Gao asked, pointing to the scroll on the table.
Qi Xiaofei and Lao Jia cautiously opened the scroll, and when they saw that the ancient painting was in front of them, they were shocked, and Qi Xiaofei shouted: "This is impossible!" ”
"What can't be?" Boss Gao said, "Take a closer look, is it the original ancient painting!" ”
