Chapter 87
Lin Beifan and Song Yuqing walked hand in hand in front, like a perfect couple!
Wu Ge and Aunt Liu walked hand in hand, like
A mother and son!
Wu Ge shook his hand a few times, realizing he couldnt shake off Aunt Lius hand. He helplessly said, Sister Liu, can you please let go of my hand? Everyone is watching!
Aunt Liu blushed and smiled, playfully saying, You used to call me baby, but now that you have me, youre calling me Sister Liu. How annoying!
Wu Ge: Ugh~
Didnt you ask me to call you Sister Liu?
That was in the office. I felt a bit embarrassed, so I let you call me that! Now there arent many people around, you can go back to calling me Baby!
Wu Ge: Ugh~
But Boss Lin is in front!
At this moment, Lin Beifan turned his head back and said with a teasing tone, Xiao Wu, if you want to call her, just call her. You dont need to worry about my feelings!
Wu Ge: .
Xiao Wu, hurry up and call her! If you dont, Ill get angry! Lin Beifan insisted.
Wu Ge: Ugh~
To avoid disturbing Wu Ge and Aunt Lius intimate moment, Lin Beifan and Song Yuqing walked a bit further.
Then, they stopped in front of a small vendors stall. Song Yuqing set her eyes on a pair of delicate bronze objects, bearing the marks of time, and she wanted to buy them.
The vendor saw a potential customer and immediately gave a thumbs up, Miss, you have a good eye! These bronze objects are from the Western Zhou period. They are a pair of drinking vessels for couples called Crossing-cup wine. Theyre very valuable! Two wreaths intertwined represent happiness and harmony, a century of blessings! Since youre my first customer today, Ill only charge you 88,000. Lets make it auspicious!
However, Song Yuqing hesitated. Although she really liked the pair of bronze objects, she had heard that many people here were dishonest, selling fake goods.
If I wasted my money, Id become a sucker. Wu Ge saw an opportunity and immediately stepped forward, saying, Boss, you sure can talk! If these bronze objects are really from the Western Zhou period, they cant be worth just 88,000, at least add three more zeros!
The boss remained composed, saying, Indeed, these are not from the Western Zhou period. Theyre from the Ming Dynasty 500 years ago! Someone imitated the Western Zhou bronze objects and specially crafted this pair of Crossing-cup wine. Its still an antique, Ill take 88,000 for it, alright?
Wu Ge sneered softly, Boss, youre really joking! From what I can see, these bronze objects arent from the Western Zhou period, not from the Ming Dynasty period either, but from the previous week! Theyre made in the small commodity city, processed to look old. The cost is less than 10 yuan. Youre selling it for 88000, thats a real rip-off!
Finally, the bosss expression changed, It seems you know your stuff, young man! People within the same trade shouldnt deceive each other. Its 50 yuan for the pair. Take them if you like! After all, I need to make a profit from reselling them!
50 yuan isnt expensive, Ill buy it! Song Yuqing happily paid the money and picked up the pair of bronze wine cups.
Lin Beifan looked at Wu Ge with admiration and gave him a thumbs up, Xiao Wu, it seems you really understand this field. You can even recognize the previous weeks items! Its great to have you here!
Wu Ge felt pleased and modestly said, Boss Lin, youre giving me too much credit. Its nothing.
Aunt Liu also looked at Wu Ge with a newfound respect and admiration, Xiao Wu, youre really amazing! I love you, my little baby!
Wu Ge: Ugh~
Following this, Wu Ge frequently showcased his expertise and skills in identifying antiques. He could easily see through the origins of these old objects, exposing the vendors tricks, which earned him Lin Beifans admiration.
Good job, youre really something!
Seeing the opportunity, Wu Ge said, Boss Lin, you can hardly find anything good outside! Those are all fake, meant to deceive tourists. They can deceive one wave after another.
So, youre saying we can only go into the stores to find genuine antiques?
Wu Ge shook his head, Even whats sold here is mostly fake! Good things wont be put on display. Theyll only show them to you if you can prove your expertise. But they wont tell you if its genuine or not. It all depends on your skill. Many experts make mistakes too.
Song Yuqing shook her head, The antique business is really complicated.
Fortunately, we have Wu Ge with us today! Lin Beifan grinned and patted Wu Ges shoulder, Wu Ge, its up to you now. I trust in your abilities.
Wu Ge happily said, Thank you for your trust, Boss Lin. I wont let you down!
At this moment, Lin Beifan pointed to a store and said, That store looks good. Lets go and take a look!
Wu Ge was overjoyed, and without needing an excuse, he guided them toward the store. In just a moment, Lin Beifan and the others entered the antique shop. The person there was none other than Wu Ges close friend Wang Pangzi, who pretended not to recognize them as he approached with a jovial smile.
But before Wang Pangzi could start speaking, his eyes widened. What did he see?
He saw his close friend Wu Ge, unexpectedly holding an older womans hand. This older woman seemed to be in her fifties, and her figure was swollen and distorted. And that womans hand!
Wang Pangzi was extremely puzzled. He hadnt heard about this brother having such a friend or relative before. Furthermore, this woman who seemed to be around 50 years old was smiling sweetly, with a peach blossom-like expression
What was going on?
At this moment, Wu Ge was truly embarrassed. Being caught in this situation by his close friend was like being caught in a massive social death scene. So, he whispered, Sister Liu, can you please let go of my hand? I need to start working!
Aunt Liu still didnt let go, coquettishly saying, No, I wont
Wu Ge: Ugh~
Wang Pangzi: Ugh~
Cough, cough! Wu Ge coughed, reminding Wang Pangzi to pay attention to his image and behave properly.
Oh esteemed guests, please come inside! What would you like to buy? Antique items? My store is the largest on this street, we have all sorts of good stuff! Wang Pangzi introduced, but his eyes kept glancing at Wu Ge and Aunt Liu.
Im very interested in antiques. Just bring out the good stuff from your store! By the way, let me tell you, this brother of mine is an expert in this field, dont try to fool us! Lin Beifan pointed at Wu Ge.
And her? Wang Pangzi gestured towards Aunt Liu.
Oh, Lin Beifan smiled faintly, She is my dear brothers girlfriend!
Wang Pangzi: Cough, cough!
Wu Ge: Cough, cough!
