Huo Jilin hesitated for a moment: "Okay, but let's make it clear first, you can't cause trouble for me."

Wang Kaixuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, we definitely won't."

The few people chatted for a while, and Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan got up to say goodbye.

"Old Huo, you work hard, we are waiting to see your antique shop become more and more prosperous." Hu Bayi said.

Huo Jilin sent them to the door: "Okay, come often when you are free."

...

At night, the originally quiet night sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, and lightning shuttled through the clouds like a silver snake, followed by a deafening thunder.

Huo Jilin tossed and turned in the room, disturbed by the bad weather. "This damn weather is really uneasy." He muttered.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling lightning flashed, followed by a loud bang that shook the earth. Huo Jilin felt that the whole room was shaking, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

He got up quickly and prepared to go to the store to have a look. When he opened the door, a gust of wind mixed with raindrops hit him in the face, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

He walked towards the antique shop with difficulty. Before he reached the door, he saw a strange light coming out of the store. He quickened his pace and rushed into the store. The scene in front of him stunned him.

The lightning actually struck the roof of the antique shop directly, breaking the beams, tiles falling to the ground, and rain kept pouring in. What's worse, many antiques were also damaged.

"Oh my God! What can I do?" Huo Jilin shouted in despair.

He hurriedly found something to shelter from the rain and tried to protect the precious antiques, but it was too late.

The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky gradually cleared up, but Huo Jilin was in a very heavy mood. He looked at the messy shop and sighed deeply.

"How long will it take to repair it?" He said to himself.

At this time, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan heard about the antique shop and rushed over.

"Old Huo, don't worry too much, let's find a solution together." Hu Bayi comforted.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the damaged antiques and said, "These are all treasures, we have to repair them quickly."

Huo Jilin said with a bitter face, "I know, but this repair work cannot be completed in one or two days."

Hu Bayi said, "Let's clean up the store first, and then see how to repair them one by one."

So the three of them started to clean up the store.

"Oh, these tiles are broken like this." Wang Kaixuan complained while moving tiles.

Huo Jilin said helplessly, "Don't worry about the tiles first, take a look at these antiques first."

They carefully moved the antiques together, and Huo Jilin carefully examined each one.

"This blue and white porcelain has cracks, we have to find a skilled master to repair it." Huo Jilin said with a frown.

Hu Bayi asked, "Can you find the right person?"

Huo Jilin pondered for a moment: "I know a master, but his fee is not low."

Wang Kaixuan said: "No matter how expensive it is, as long as it can be repaired."

Huo Jilin nodded: "That's the only way."

In the next few days, Huo Jilin ran around looking for materials and masters to repair antiques.

One day, he returned to the store tiredly.

Wang Kaixuan asked: "How is it? Have you found a master?"

Huo Jilin nodded: "I found one, but he has to wait until he finishes the work at hand before he can come."

Hu Bayi comforted: "Don't worry, let's do the preparations we can do first."

While waiting for the master, Huo Jilin and his team were not idle, and they worked hard to repair some less damaged antiques every day.

"Old Huo, how do you think my repair is?" Wang Kaixuan asked, holding a half-repaired jade.

Huo Jilin took a look and shook his head: "No, it's too rough, we have to start over."

Wang Kaixuan muttered: "This is really difficult."

Finally, the master came.

Huo Jilin hurried to greet him: "Master, you are here, please help me look at these antiques."

The master carefully checked and said: "Well, it's a bit difficult, but there is a way."

Huo Jilin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Under the guidance of the master, the restoration work gradually made progress.

"Old Huo, I think it will be repaired in a while." Hu Bayi said.

Huo Jilin finally showed a smile on his face: "Yes, I hope it can be restored as soon as possible."

After a long and arduous effort, the antique shop finally slowly returned to its former appearance.

Huo!

That day, the antique shop had just been cleaned up and was about to reopen when a burly and fat-faced escort walked in.

"Boss, I have a good knife here, would you like to take it?" the escort said in a rough voice.Huo Jilin smiled politely: "Let's take a look at the things first."

The escort took a package from his back and opened it carefully, revealing a knife with a cold glow.

Huo Jilin took the knife and looked at it carefully. The blade has smooth lines and the handle is inlaid with gems. It is indeed a good knife.

"This knife is good, I'll give you 10,000." Huo Jilin said.

"What? 10,000? You're sending beggars!" The escort widened his eyes and roared.

Huo Jilin patiently explained: "This price is already very fair. After all, although this knife is good, it is not a rare treasure."

The escort was relentless: "No, less than 50,000, no deal!"

Huo Jilin frowned: "50,000? This price is too high. I won't make much profit if I take it."

The escort threw the knife on the table: "You have to take it today, otherwise don't think about doing business in this area!"

The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense, and Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also surrounded them.

Hu Bayi said, "Friend, don't be so unreasonable. There should be room for negotiation when doing business."

The escort glanced at Hu Bayi: "Who do you think you are? Mind your own business!"

Wang Kaixuan got angry: "Hey! How can you talk like that?"

The escort rolled up his sleeves: "What? Want to fight?"

Huo Jilin said loudly: "Don't be impulsive!" Then he stared at the escort, "Friend, forced buying and selling is not okay."

The escort sneered: "Humph, what can you do to me?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Huo Jilin's eyes. He gently put down the knife in his hand and said slowly: "Since you are so unreasonable, I have to let you know how powerful I am."

As he said that, Huo Jilin flashed and came to the escort in an instant. He grabbed the escort's wrist with one hand and twisted it hard.

The escort screamed in pain: "Ouch, let go! Let go!"

Huo Jilin said coldly: "Are you still making trouble?"

The escort's face turned pale: "I dare not, I dare not, boss, spare me!"

Huo Jilin let go: "Remember, don't be so arrogant in the future."

The escort nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, ten thousand is ten thousand."

After the transaction was completed, the escort left in disgrace.

Wang Kaixuan smiled and said: "Old Huo, I didn't expect you to have this trick."

Huo Jilin shook his head: "It was also a last resort. People like this can't be spoiled."

Hu Bayi said: "But this knife is worth it. If you take good care of it, it should be able to sell for a good price!"
