Chapter 53 I believe that when I grow up, I will be a BMW

  The contract was signed in the end, and when Mr. Chen was collecting the documents, he casually asked me: "Manager Xiao, if you haven't sold that wind bottle yet, it's best to wait for a while, as antique shops in this city seem to be affected by the earthquake recently."

  "I said, 'That bottle has already been used by me as a seismograph.' I told the astonished Assistant Chen, 'And it's already broken.'"

  He didn't take it seriously and joked: "But these days seem like there's no earthquake."

  I winked at him: "A very small aftershock, only detectable with a 2 million yuan seismograph."

  He saw me say it as if it were true, and awkwardly said: "Hehe, such a precious thing would be a pity if it really broke. If it were in the past, we could find a professional craftsman to repair it, but now it's hard to find people who do this kind of craftsmanship."

  I sent him away, and I found it quite interesting. They sold a wind chime to anyone in the industry for 2 million, but now they're giving me a well-run bar for a total of 2.4 million during this special period, and even suspecting me of being a small person. The Chen family doesn't know what they want to do. Moreover, I'm starting to be curious about these two people with the surname Chen who have dealt with me. They are cunning but not sinister, and can discuss benefits and drawbacks openly, neither gentleman nor villain. From their actions, it's clear that they have a rich family background, but why do they repeatedly trade with me, a small pawnshop manager? It's hard to understand.

  Also, Mr. Chen's last words reminded me: Yu Bei Jiang Da Jian might be able to restore that Wind Listening Bottle after all?

  I rushed upstairs and asked Li Shishi, who was reading a book: "What about the fragment of that wind bottle last time?"

  Li Shishi pointed to the expensive box in the corner of the living room sofa: "I've collected it all there." Thank goodness! I was just about to leave, and Li Shishi handed me a few balls of waste paper. I didn't understand what she meant, and Li Shishi said strangely: "Aren't you going to take out the trash? Bring this along..."

  "Trash? Have you seen 2 million pieces of trash? Watch as I turn trash into treasure, exchange it for money to buy flowers for you..." I ran over and picked up the box, opened it and took a look, my heart sank even more. In ancient times, there was a story about a broken mirror being reunited, that was a mirror broken in half, with the husband and wife each holding one half. Now looking at this bottle, it's shattered into enough pieces to be distributed at a group wedding, including the newlyweds' relatives. If I have to compensate for this bottle, it's not worth it, might as well crush it all into powder and mold a new one.

  I was just thinking of finding time to visit the 300, and Lai Zi had already called me. He said: "Qiang Ge, your students miss you, I'll let Xu Lingdui tell you." Then there was a long silence, and I could still hear Lai Zi instructing beside the phone: "Speak up, Qiang Ge is listening——" Half a day passed before I heard Xu De Long say timidly: "Hello?"

  "I said, 'Captain Xu? I'm Qiangzi, is there something going on?' Half a day passed without a word, and if I wasn't mistaken, Xu Delong was holding the phone, looking around in all directions. Hearing such a calm voice but not seeing anyone, he probably wasn't used to it yet."

  "Is he Xiao Zhuang?"

  "Yes, it's me. What's up?"

  “……”

  Looking for me again.

  Finally, I could only say: "Captain Xu, I'll come over and see you guys in a bit. We can talk about whatever it is then, okay?" Lai Zi took the phone from me and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Qiang, is this captain of yours a mobile company's errand boy or do you two have some kind of illicit relationship? Are you just trying to hear each other breathe..."

  I hung up the phone and urgently gathered the 5-person team. I knew that Xu De Long was looking for me, something must have happened. I had to arrange for them first, but Liu Bang had already gone out to play cards. I took out a stack of money and gave each person 10 bills, saying: "Each person gets 1000 yuan, you've been here for a while, and you know how to handle some things on the surface - Winnie, this money is not allowed to be spent recklessly, ask clearly before giving it, then let him find change." Since playing with Jin Shao Yan a few times, Qin Shi Huang's bad habit has gotten worse. Buying a stick of cotton candy for Zhang 100 yuan and leaving.

  Qin Shi Huang smiled and said: "Very good."

  "Alright, I'll give all this money to Ke Zi then. Anyway, you two are together most of the time, just ask him to buy whatever you want to eat."

  "Is it okay?"

  I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who don't want money, but maybe Qin Shi Huang is used to being high above, if it were Kangxi or Qianlong emperors who often go incognito, they would know to take the money and put it in their pockets.

  "After I sent the money, I looked at them and thought about what else to settle. Suddenly, I remembered: 'Right, this matter is not allowed to be told to Baozi, and if Liu Bang that kid doesn't ask where the money came from, don't tell him either.'"

  Then everyone's differences became apparent. Li Shishi calmly made a phone call: "Hello, is this Pizza Hut? Can you deliver one to..."

  Xiang Yu wanted to learn from Li Shishi, but didn't know who to hit. In the end, he came up with a clever solution and said to Li Shishi: "Can you help me get some roasted lamb leg to eat..."

  Jing Ke and Qin Shi Huang were having a great time, Qin Shi Huang would take whatever he wanted whenever he went out. Jing Ke had an extra trick up his sleeve, so he put Qin Shi Huang's money in another pocket and said to him: "Here is your money, once you've spent it all, I won't care about you anymore." Who says he's stupid?

  But in my eyes, he really is a bit, if I were him, I would put some of the money won by Pao into my pocket.

  I settled them all down, holding the box with the wind-listening bottle and riding my 1955 edition cross-country motorcycle. The problem was where to put this box, holding it in my arms made it impossible to drive, throwing it into the saddle would be too bumpy, but then I thought, hey, let it be bumpy, anyway, it can't get any more broken than it already is, 200 yuan and 300 yuan don't make a difference in quality.

  This road can be said to have passed through the levels, although there is no command to prohibit it, but the problem is that I am riding a cross-country motorcycle without a license plate. Several times at the red light not far away, I saw the traffic police's gaze sweep over me, and I hid behind a large public bus. Not only could the traffic police not see me, but I could also follow the bus lane, making the cars behind me hum with anger, yet they didn't dare to honk their horns. Once when I was waiting for the red light, a driver in an Aoto on the next lane rolled down his window and said to me: "Brother, you're really cool! Why don't we swap cars?"

  I said: "Let's wait until you grow up and become a precious horse before we talk about it."

  Divider line

  Next week is going to be a strong push, and after the strong push, it's probably going to be on the shelves. Xiaohua doesn't understand what tickets are needed after being on the shelves, anyway, everyone will keep them for me, hehe. Also, Saturday and Sunday will still be updated once a day. On the one hand, updating twice a day is really tiring and the quality has dropped a bit. On the other hand, Xiaohua can use these two days to accumulate some inventory or take a good rest for two days to prepare for the strong push. The title of this chapter comes from a joke. It says that on the back of an Alto car, there is a line of words: "I believe that when I grow up, I will be a BMW."
