240 Boss Zhao and Jiang Yi
Five million yuan? That wouldn’t be enough even if he sold himself.
“Miss, are you treating me like a fool?”
Boss Zhao knew everything about the things in Du Fei’s hand. They were not worth this price at all, but Gu Man actually pushed her luck and wanted five million yuan.
His expression turned cold as his gaze landed on Jiang Yi, waiting for him to continue.
If Jiang Yi could afford it, he did not care even if it was 10 million.
Gu Man watched as Boss Zhao’s gaze kept landing on Jiang Yi and frowned slightly.
For some reason, Xiao Xiao’s words suddenly appeared in her mind and she was a little dissatisfied.
They were discussing business, so why was Boss Zhao flirting with Jiang Yi?
“Boss Zhao, we’re discussing business now. If you don’t think we can do it, I’ll just go to another shop.”
There was already a hint of impatience in Gu Man’s tone. She knocked on the counter heavily as a warning.
Before she came, she had already investigated. A bowl from Ming Zhende had been sold for nearly seven million yuan at a recent auction. Boss Zhao would definitely make a profit from this business.
However, Gu Man did not have the time to deal with the Ghost Market Auction House anymore. She knew their hooligan behavior. With the thought that it was better to avoid trouble, she came to the Appraiser Hall to sell it at a low price.
What’s more, the color of the ceramic was excellent. It was even older than the porcelain that was auctioned off at the previous auction. It was better. She had already lowered the price. If Boss Zhao still did not know what was good for him, she might as well not do this business.
Boss Zhao did not reply to Gu Man but he looked at Jiang Yi.
“Talk to your friend.”
Jiang Yi also followed Boss Zhao’s words and pulled Gu Man to the side. “The 200,000 yuan Boss Zhao gave is already a very reasonable price. Your ceramic bowl is worthless and it’s not worth 5 million yuan at all. Do you believe what Du Fei said?”
Why was such a smart person in stone gambling so ignorant about antiques? Jiang Yi touched his cheek with a frown. 200,000 yuan was fine, but how could he fork out 5 million yuan?
Gu Man’s expression turned cold. She would be a fool if she still could not understand.
“What did you say to Boss Zhao?”
Jiang Yi’s face turned red from the questioning and he could not say a word. He was still a little shy. If Gu Man knew what he had done, would she be very touched?
“Nothing…”
“Jiang Yi!” Gu Man interrupted him before he could finish.
Jiang Yi and Gu Man did not look good. In their anxiety, they dragged the matter out.
“Gu Man, although Du Fei is my friend, don’t believe his words. It’s difficult for you to break-even even if you’re offered 10,000 Yuan.”
The nagging in her ear made Gu Man feel a little frustrated. She pressed her hand on Jiang Yi’s shoulder and looked at his stunned expression. “Don’t worry about this.”
However, Jiang Yi was doing this for her own good, so Gu Man could not say anything.
She did not explain. She turned around and returned to the counter, staring at Boss Zhao, who was wiping a vase at the side.
“Boss Zhao, I already know about your deal with Jiang Yi, but I don’t need it.”
Boss Zhao’s gaze landed on Jiang Yi, who was behind Gu Man. Seeing his frown, he chuckled and looked at Gu Man. “Is that so?”
Boss Zhao’s att.i.tude made Gu Man frown. She picked up the ceramic bowl on the counter and her voice turned colder. “If Boss Zhao doesn’t want to do this business, I’m not someone who makes things difficult for others.”
Boss Zhao grabbed the other side of the ceramic bowl with one hand. Boss Zhao stopped her and said, “I like your temper. I have to do this business.”
Gu Man tugged at it. Boss Zhao held it very tightly and did not seem to be teasing her.
She let go and crossed her arms as she stared at Boss Zhao. “Then let’s appraise it.”
Boss Zhao smiled and took the porcelain bowl. He took a flashlight from the counter and twirled it around the porcelain bowl. The expression on his face changed from casual to surprise. Finally, he placed the porcelain bowl gently on the counter excitedly.
“How should I address you, Miss?”
“My surname is Gu.”
Boss Zhao looked around carefully. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and leaned in front of Gu Man. “You said 5 million just now, right? Deal!”
