Chapter 217: 217 Master Meets Master (One More Update)About a few minutes later, the other party set down the magnifying glass, his face showing great surprise, as if he had discovered something amazing, "Wow, this jade bracelet is really something, genuine, absolutely genuine." Ma Donghua, hearing this tone, stepped forward and asked, "So, according to you, it must be worth a lot of money, right?" "At least this much." The person surnamed Qian stretched out a finger. Xiaofeng squinted her eyes, "A thousand?" The person surnamed Qian shook his head: "How could that be possible, it’s worth at least ten thousand." Xiaofeng wanted to laugh inside, but she didn’t show it on her face, equally surprised she said, "Really worth ten thousand?" "Really," the person surnamed Qian immediately nodded, "Definitely worth it. Do you want to sell it? Of course, if you take it to the market, it surely wouldn’t fetch that price." Xiaofeng looked around, seemingly unsure that the bracelet could be worth ten thousand, "If it’s worth that much, then of course I should sell it. Ten thousand yuan is not safe on my wrist." Looking up, "Do you want it now? If you want it now, pay first, otherwise I can’t give you the bracelet." "You really want to sell?" The person surnamed Qian seemed surprised, she was so straightforward about selling it, completely different from what he had imagined. "I asked at the jewelry store yesterday, they told me it was worth at most two thousand, I definitely wouldn’t sell for two thousand, I’m not stupid. If you say it’s worth ten thousand, I will definitely sell it. Such a good price, not selling would be foolish." "I heard you have four more items, why not bring them all out together, we could trade them all together." Their goal wasn’t the jade bracelet, it was the gold teapot. "Hey, I sold those yesterday." Xiaofeng took out a receipt from her body, "Five thousand each, a total of twenty thousand." Ma Donghua certainly didn’t believe it: "A gold teapot can be worth hundreds of thousands, you sold them for just five thousand, who are you fooling?" "Aunt, they weren’t real, it was just a layer of gold plated on them. They said only the gold on my teapot was valuable, otherwise it wouldn’t be worth five thousand." Su Guisheng opened his mouth, gold-plated? How could that be, it was clearly so heavy: "Xiaofeng, don’t try to deceive us, we are not easily fooled." "Why would I deceive you?" Xiaofeng found it amusing, "My stuff has nothing to do with you, why would I bother deceiving you?" Turning her head towards the person surnamed Qian, "Are you paying now? If you are paying now, then I’ll give it to you now." Su Guisheng, witnessing Xiaofeng’s eager attitude to get the money, became somewhat uncertain again. The person surnamed Qian glanced at Ma Donghua, who shook her head, "Whether it’s worth ten thousand, I need to ask someone else to take a look. How about this, you leave the item with your uncle and aunt, let them come with us, and once the price is estimated, we will send it back to you. Does that work?" "How about this." Xiaofeng quickly took off the bracelet, "Didn’t you say this bracelet could be worth ten thousand? Pay me a deposit first, let’s say two thousand, then you take the bracelet. Once the price is estimated, you can pay me the rest." See, she was easy to speak with, definitely keen to do business with them. Xiaofeng brought the conversation to this point, and the person surnamed Qian was in a tough spot. "It could work, but we didn’t bring that much money with us." The person surnamed Qian looked at Su Guisheng and Ma Donghua: "Maybe you could cover it for me, and then you can come with me to get the money later. Don’t worry, consider it a loan, I will definitely pay you back." "My uncle and aunt covering it works too." Xiaofeng didn’t give Su Guisheng and Ma Donghua a moment to think: "The rest of the money, you can also have my uncle and aunt bring it back." Su Guisheng: "..." Feeling something was off: "We didn’t bring that much money either." Who carries that much money around: "Xiaofeng, with me and Donghua here, what else are you worried about? We’ll go with him, and whatever money comes from the sale, we’ll bring it back to you." "I’m not worried about you." Xiaofeng looked at the person surnamed Qian: "How about you guys gather some?" The person surnamed Qian looked at his colleagues: "We only brought five hundred, how much did you all bring?" The other two glanced at each other; their pockets were cleaner than their faces. The person surnamed Qian glanced at Su Xiaofeng: "If you are not comfortable, we can come back another time." "Alright, considering you are so sincere, five hundred for a deposit works." As she spoke, the bracelet was already being taken off her wrist. Xiaofeng called out, "Uncle Zhou, bring Baozi and Xianghe over." Soon after, Baozi and Xianghe entered, looking at the group of people in the office, unsure of what business Su was dealing in. Xiaofeng glanced at them and didn’t say a word. The man surnamed Qian fished out five hundred yuan from his pocket, somewhat reluctantly giving it to Su Xiaofeng. After taking the money, Xiaofeng handed over the bracelet to Su Guisheng and his wife, "Uncle, aunt, I’ll have to trouble you with the rest." Guisheng took the bracelet and followed the Qian party of three as they left. Xiaofeng watched them leave, then looked at the five hundred yuan in her hand and laughed. The fools, if they really offered ten thousand, she would have dared to accept it. That bracelet was something she had bought for fifty yuan from a jewelry store yesterday, and she had kept it in "space" ever since. The one she wore on her wrist was genuine, but the one she handed over was the fifty-yuan one. Seeing Xiaofeng’s sly smile, Xianghe was somewhat puzzled, "Boss Su, who are these people?" "A few antique dealers." Xiaofeng smiled, "I now have a task for you all." "Yes." ... After leaving Xiaofeng’s factory, the Guisheng couple followed the Qian party into their car. Once inside, Guisheng anxiously asked the others, "Mr. Qian, is this thing really worth ten thousand?" "It might not be worth ten thousand, but it should fetch around seven or eight thousand." The man surnamed Qian was quite confident, he had just touched it, and it indeed felt extraordinarily cool, "She said it was only worth two thousand, just give her that when you head back."

As long as it was valuable, that was enough. The man surnamed Qian was not from any company, but found a small shop, the shop’s owner seemed to be an expert. Qian showed the bracelet to him. The shop owner glanced at it and shook his head, "This is worth at most fifty." And no more. Of course, Qian did not believe it, "Master, take a closer look, I just felt it, it’s very cold, and the color is also good, it’s definitely top-tier Imperial Jade, how can it only be fifty." The elderly man, upon hearing his words, looked again a few times before handing the bracelet back, "This is top-tier Imperial Jade? Maybe you should take it to another shop to have a look." Qian touched it again, something was off, this wasn’t the same piece. After leaving the small shop and getting back into the car, the man surnamed Qian glared at the Su couple, "Did you switch it on the way here?" The moment Guisheng heard it, he felt wronged. He had guarded it like a treasure the whole way, afraid of bumping or scratching it, "Mr. Qian, don’t talk nonsense. We’ve been together the whole time, there was no chance to switch it." Mr. Qian sneered, "Then I must have been mistaken. Since this bracelet is not valuable, you owe me money. The consultation fee for today and the deposit just now come to a total of eight hundred." Su Guisheng was dumbfounded, "You weren’t invited by me, why should I pay you? Besides, it was you who were mistaken, how can you blame us?" No money, but their lives were at stake. But these men were not interested in the Guisheng couple’s reasoning. They locked the car doors and said to the other two, "Just search them, if they don’t have enough on them, we’ll go to their house. We can’t leave empty-handed." The other two did not hold back either, one started searching Guisheng, the other started searching Ma Donghua. "What are you doing, you robbers?" Guisheng struggled, they had been tricked, fallen for these people’s trick. "Brother Qian, we only found two hundred yuan on them." "Only two hundred, so poor." The man surnamed Qian took out a cigarette, "Two hundred is not enough to appease us, it should be at least eight hundred. You tell us, what should we do?" Ma Donghua’s face was streaked with tears, she regretted getting involved with these robbers, "We’re just country folks, we really don’t have money on us." "Just saying you have no money and thinking you can send us away, how is that possible." The man surnamed Qian blew out a smoke ring, "Leave his wife here, you follow him back to get the money." "Mr. Qian." Although Guisheng was furious, he was also helpless, the other party clearly didn’t care about anything but money, "You gave the money to Xiaofeng, you should probably ask her for it, not us. It wasn’t us who wanted to sell the bracelet." Qian sneered, "I think we have all been played by her, otherwise why would she let us take it so readily for just five hundred." So young, yet so adept, what a master.
