Chapter 15
"Of course it has something to do with it. You'll understand when you hear it." Lin Xi rolled her eyes and was as shrewd as a fox. Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't object, she began to tell stories: "Once a group of people went to the countryside to collect antiques and passed by a farmhouse. In a small courtyard, the owner has a cat, and the cat bowl is Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. The antique collector wanted to take away the cat bowl, so he told the owner that he wanted to buy the cat. Knowing that these people are collectors of antiques, I can see through their thoughts. The people who collect antiques certainly don’t want to tell the truth, so they told the owner that the cat is familiar with this food bowl, and asked the owner to sell the food bowl together. Just laugh, because of this bowl, he has already sold eight cats."
After listening to the story, the atmosphere fell silent, and Su Mingyu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting, just a metaphor. The Nanhong pendant I wear is the cat bowl, and the goods in the store are cats. I just want to make more money with this pendant, do you understand?"
Su Mingyu squinted his eyes, revealing a sense of oppression, "This pendant is indeed of some value. It is made of Baoshan black red material. However, since the carving is modern, I discounted it. I will offer a fair price, 80. I bought it."
Lin Xi never expected that this pendant was so valuable in the first place. While she was happy, she thought that she had already given away this pendant, so she felt that no matter how valuable it was, she couldn't sell it.But would the other party believe that she didn't want to sell the pendant just because she gave it to a friend?After thinking for a few seconds, she said calmly: "It is indeed a very exciting price, thank you very much, but I want to use this pendant to sell more goods!"
"are you serious?"
"A steady flow of water is better than a one-time transaction." Lin Xi smiled as he faced Su Mingyu's increasingly suppressed aura.
"What if I insist on buying this pendant from you today?" Su Mingyu really didn't want to procrastinate any longer, and became stronger.
"Buying and selling by force is an illegal act. I know the phone number of the Industry and Commerce Bureau." Lin Xi took out a flyer from under the glass cabinet: "This is the flyer that was just issued, and the phone is on it. Do you think it's me?" Fight, or you fight?"
Su Mingyu didn't expect Lin Xi to give him this trick, he took a deep breath and controlled his anger.
"100 million, the pendant will give you 80, and the other 20 will be used to make an apology!" Su Mingyu conceded.This woman is always challenging his bottom line!And he has nothing to do with her!
"Sorry, Mr. Su, as I said, I only welcome customers who buy wood carving bracelets." Lin Xi pointed around the shop: "You can buy these hanging ones and those in the cabinet. But, only this It's a pendant, I don't want to sell it!"
"You..." Su Mingyu stared at her, only to see her nonchalantly pick up the words: "What's wrong with me, Mr. Su, if you don't buy anything, please leave, I'm going to start a business!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he really turned around and was busy tallying the goods.
Su Mingyu felt a complete failure!
The dignified person in charge of Shengshi Tianyi, who manages a business worth tens of billions of dollars a year, is underwhelmed by a little girl. If word gets out, he will become a laughing stock in the industry.
"200 million, sell it to me now, not later!" Su Mingyu really didn't believe that money couldn't impress her!
Lin Xi sighed, put down the beads in hand, and faced Su Mingyu with a cold face: "Mr. Su, I think you must not understand me, right? It seems that I really want to call."
Su Mingyu saw that she was really going to get the phone, he really wanted to strangle this thin girl who was one shoulder shorter than him to death!
"OK, I'll buy these hanging on the wall!"
Su Mingyu's momentum completely weakened.
Only then did Lin Xi put down her phone and quickly packed up the beads. After a while, she finished packing and handed the things to Su Mingyu.
"2000 yuan, thank you."
Su Mingyu didn't even look at her, and threw the card to her directly.
Lin Xi was already used to Su Mingyu's actions, so he swiped his card in twos and asked him to sign.
Su Mingyu wrote beautiful handwriting. Although the signature was cursive, it looked pleasing to the eye.Lin Xi collected the receipt, printed a copy, put it in his bag, and handed it to him.
Su Mingyu took the bag, exited the shop, stood outside the shop and looked coldly at Lin Xi who turned his back and pretended to be busy, a full 10 minutes passed, Lin Xi just didn't turn to look at him.The poisonous eyes in his eyes were completely useless to her.
"Lin Xi, see you next time!" In desperation, he almost gritted his teeth and left.
Seeing Su Mingyu's back disappear into the crowd, Lin Xi picked up the water glass on the counter and drank vigorously, because she was too nervous to confront Su Mingyu just now, and she needed to regain her composure.
Just now she was just pretending to be calm, don't mention how nervous she was, now that she has relaxed, she found that her forehead was covered with sweat, she fell down on the chair and wiped her forehead with a piece of paper.
Su Mingyu's angry look flashed in front of her eyes over and over again, that suffocating sense of oppression was definitely not something ordinary people could erupt.Moreover, the price of 200 million is enough for her to live well in this city, and he just drove out of it, making Lin Xi even more confused about what kind of man he is.
She had a premonition that she had offended a man who was not easy to mess with.
She made up her mind that she must send the pendant away as soon as possible.
but……
It seemed that Su Mingyu had really taken a fancy to her pendant. If he bought this pendant without knowing it, and found someone to cause trouble secretly, forcing her to hand over the pendant, wouldn't she be a burden to Chen Lu?
You can't give it away, you can't sell it, Lin Xi decided to put the pendant away first.And grandma is not in good health, of course she can't tell her!
Feeling that the pendant was extremely valuable, Lin Xi decided to keep it at home and not show it to others easily.
Lin Xi closed the shop door ahead of time and returned home, packed the pendant in a box, and put it in the bedside table. Suddenly, she felt that it was not safe, so she simply put the pendant in the pocket of a winter dress.
No one would have imagined that someone would casually put this kind of thing in the pocket of winter clothes, not to mention that now that summer is about to enter, they will not pay attention to those winter clothes that have not been touched for a long time.
"Hey, it would be great if there was someone who could talk to me!" Lin Xi couldn't help but think of his parents...
Grandma saw Lin Xi entering the room with a serious expression and tossing about for a while, she was a little worried about her, she rarely came home early today, and she didn't say hello to her!
"Xi Bao, what are you doing?"
Grandma walked into the room and saw Lin Xi sitting on a chair with her back turned to her, wondering what she was doing.
Hearing grandma's shout, Lin Xi turned around, and she pushed back the family portrait that she was looking at just now.Grandma didn't ignore Lin Xi's small movements. She stood by the table, stroked Lin Xi's hair, and asked her, "Do you miss Mom and Dad?"
"Grandma, how did my parents die?" Lin Xi was a little sad, and his eyes were covered with mist.
"My child... everything happened so suddenly, and grandma didn't know how they could have an accident... If I was in the car at that time, I would have told your father to drive well, don't be too sad Now, your parents will be sad to see you so sad in the sky."
Grandma hugged Lin Xi in her arms. She thought it was Lin Xi who had suffered a setback in doing business, and instead encouraged her: "My child, are you too tired? If you are tired, close the shop and rest for a while."
"No, grandma, something happened to me today, and I happened to think of my parents, so I asked." Lin Xi poked his head out, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"That's good, grandma is really worried about you. Ever since your sister disappeared, grandma has only you left. So..."
"Grandma, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you worry. I'm just a little tired today. I'll recover after a little rest."
Lin Xi stood up as he spoke, and supported his grandma: "Let's go to the living room." Grandma nodded and followed Lin Xi to the living room.
Lin Xi poured a glass of water for grandma: "Have you checked your blood sugar today?"
"I checked, it's 8.5 before meals."
"What? So high?" Lin Xi was a little worried about grandma. She took the list and looked carefully, and it was indeed around eight o'clock. She was a little worried: "Why did you take the medicine and still have such high blood sugar? Do you feel dizzy?"
"I don't have any other reactions from my body except a little tired, Xi Bao, don't worry too much." Grandma couldn't bear to make her granddaughter worry, so she patted her hand.
Lin Xi couldn't help but blame herself for a while, just now she was looking at the family portrait in front of grandma, which made grandma think of unhappy things again.She looked up and saw that grandma was holding a glass of water but didn't drink, her eyelids were drooping, and her expression looked a little sad.
Lin Xi could guess that grandma must be missing her sister, her own sister who had been lost for 15 years.
"Grandma, I have an idea." Lin Xi suddenly made up his mind.
"Xi Bao, do you want to find your sister again?" Grandma saw through Lin Xi at a glance.
Lin Xi nodded: "Now that my business is on the way, I just have time to find my sister. The money left over from selling the bracelets before will be used to post rewards online to find my sister. Do you think it's okay?"
"You mean, are you willing to spend the remaining tens of thousands of dollars from selling the bracelet?"
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded, "I was reluctant to spend that money before, because that bracelet was the only token that could recognize my sister, but you sold it, which made me feel burdened, but now I don't think it's important anymore, I remember what the bracelet looked like, and I also remember what the one my sister took away looked like, so I can definitely recognize my sister through the bracelet."
"Xibao, what do you mean, look for your sister through the bracelet?"
"No matter what the outcome is, I want to give it a try." Lin Xi grabbed grandma's hand: "Grandma, that pair of jade bracelets is a treasure handed down from our ancestors. I believe it will definitely help our family reunite."
"Silly boy..." Grandma couldn't help getting tears in her eyes when she thought about the bracelet.She remembered the past.
