Chapter 11
"Haha... I usually run around the country. I just happened to be selling things in the antique street that day. Who knew I met you. Today I just came here by chance to pick up goods, and I happened to meet you. You said this is It's not fate!"
"I see! Don't you have a fixed booth?"
"The world is so big, I want to see it. So, just run around."
"Uncle, your thinking is really avant-garde! Well, are you going back to Antique Street today?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Xi was ready to go back.
"I'm not going back today. I'm going to buy some goods for a friend, and I'll send it to him when the time comes. By the way, this is my business card. If you have anything you don't understand about antiques, you can ask me." The old man of the Yi nationality was very enthusiastic He took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Lin Xi: "I have been in this business for 40 to [-] years, and I have seen a lot of things. If you want to sell good products in the store, you can find me."
"Your goods, I can't afford them!" Lin Xi still felt pain when he thought of the 5000 yuan. If it wasn't for that fool Su Mingyu who bought her so many things at once, she would be out of food in the future.
"Look at what you said, if you take one or two pieces occasionally, it's almost enough to earn ten times the difference!"
"Ten times?" Lin Xi exclaimed, and then looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to her gaffe, she lowered her voice and asked the uncle, "Aren't you joking with me?" She hung it around her neck He took the pendant out of his shirt, and asked the uncle dissatisfied, did you earn ten times the pendant on me?
The old man of the Yi nationality shook his head, picked up the porridge, and took a sip from the bowl. His wrinkled face showed contempt: "You are really not suitable for the antique business. It is right to sell wood carving skewers now! Little Girl, this is a treasure, and for some people, it is priceless!"
"Priceless treasure?" Lin Xi was a little puzzled when he thought of Su Mingyu spending a lot of money to buy the pendant, "You...you really didn't lie to me?"
"There is a legend about this pendant, do you want to hear it?" The old man of the Yi nationality put down his bowl and lowered his voice to ask Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded.
"It is said that this pendant... will bring great wealth to those who are destined."
"Are you sure?" Lin Xi looked at the old man of the Yi nationality. Although he didn't wear Yi nationality clothing today, he only wore an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, but he couldn't escape the characteristics of the Yi nationality. At the time of buying the pendant, she had the look of a prince who was selling herself and boasting.Lin Xi couldn't help complaining in his heart, if this pendant could bring huge wealth, Lin Xi wouldn't look like a rich man in him at all.
"Oh, what do you mean by looking at me like this?" The old man of the Yi nationality felt disbelief and disdain in Lin Xi's eyes, and suddenly felt that his self-esteem had been hit, and hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you! This is a legend handed down from my ancestors, but the legend says What’s more, if you’re lucky, you’ll make a fortune in your lifetime; if you don’t have a chance, you can only sell it as an ordinary pendant.”
Lin Xi blinked and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, do you know what you remind me of now?"
"what?"
"The kind of old man who buys martial arts cheats on the carpet, they usually say: 'Young man, I think you have a strange skeleton, and you are a genius in martial arts. If you buy this martial arts cheats and practice, you will definitely dominate in the future. Martial arts.'" Lin Xi grabbed his goods and got up, "Think about it, if you can really bring huge wealth, uncle, you don't have to practice around the world with street stalls. Alright, let's stop here today, I have to rush to open a shop to earn today's shop fee and living expenses!"
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't take his words to heart at all, the old man of the Yi nationality quickly stood up and argued: "Hey, girl, it's because I don't have enough fate with this pendant! I think you have a lot of fate with this pendant. You will be lucky in the future. Maybe you will marry a rich man!"
"Think of me as a three-year-old child! Well, see you again, uncle. In the future, if I want to buy good goods and sell them in the store, I will find you. Remember not to earn me ten times more!" Lin Xi felt that the old man of the Yi nationality was getting more and more outrageous. Yes, but let’s take it as a beautiful blessing. Who doesn’t expect to be rich and honored all their lives?What's more, for people like Lin Xi who lost their parents in childhood and can only rely on their own hard work, the more money they make, the more sense of security they will have.
At the same time, through the conversation with the old man of the Yi nationality, she also understood that this is actually just an ordinary Nanhong pendant, but there is a legend that can bring good luck.
"Could it be that Su Mingyu asked her to buy the pendant because of the legend of wealth?" Lin Xi suddenly felt that he had earned Su Mingyu's money without any psychological burden at all!
Thinking of Su Mingyu, Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat. That man didn't seem to belong to the same world as her.Maybe this pendant is the only place where they can have a connection, maybe he will come again for the pendant, maybe he won't show up again.
Lin Xi shook her head and tucked the pendant back into her collar. She reminded herself that Su Mingyu was just a stranger who had a little relationship with her, so don't spend too much time thinking about him. After all, staring at the sun for a long time Yes, you will get burned.
Looking at Lin Xi who was leaving, the knife-like eyes of the old man of the Yi nationality became deeper and sharper. At this time, a young man about 30 years old wearing a dark gray gown similar to the Republic of China walked away from the shed where Lin Xi and the old man of the Yi nationality had dinner just now. come.
He was holding a compass in his hand and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a handsome face and exuded a mysterious aura all over his body. He had an aura that was incompatible with the surrounding environment. He's perfect for this look.And from the respectful manner he looked at Mr. Li, it can be seen from the side that Mr. Li's identity is not simple.
"Did you just tell her that this pendant can bring fortune, to prevent her from giving it away or selling it?"
"Did you see it?" Elder Li turned around, glanced at the young man with his bright eyes, and continued, "Being able to choose the pendant I want to sell among the many pendants shows that she has a considerable relationship with this pendant." fate!"
The long-clothed man followed him in silence for a while, then sighed: "I think this girl is very young, but she has a fate with this Kuaizhui, what a pity!"
At the end of the conversation, he revealed a trace of regret—as if this pendant carried a taboo secret!
"It's fate for her to buy this pendant. Fate is determined by God and cannot be violated! Besides, you and I both know the hidden value of this pendant. It is something that people dream of... If she really has that fate, Maybe you can really get a blessing that others can't ask for for several lifetimes, so what I said just now is not completely unreasonable."
The man in the long coat nodded: "I understand."
Seeing that he was persuaded, the old man of the Yi nationality felt relieved and paused for a while, but suddenly remembered something and told the young man: "Well, take the time to investigate her life experience, and if anything happens to her, I won't take it." Her family will be treated badly."
"Yes."
The young man took the words respectfully, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes hidden under the gold-rimmed glasses.
The old man of the Yi nationality walked forward, and the young man followed him.Just after taking two steps, the young man suddenly stopped and said, "Old Li, wait!"
The old man of the Yi nationality turned around, looked at the young man staring at the compass and said excitedly: "The compass has begun to change direction... Mr. Li, the fate of your family has finally begun to change!"
The expression on Mr. Li's face was very complicated, his bony hands trembled slightly, and he seemed quite excited. He paused for a few seconds and said, "I see, the next step is to send the rest of the items to you." To those who want to buy them, you find a way to reveal the news to Lao Zhao who works for the Jin family!"
"As you wish!" The young man pushed Jinsi's eyes, put away the compass, and left quietly, just like he just appeared suddenly, without making a sound!
Mr. Li's eyes were a little moist, he stroked a string of brightly colored pearls on his wrist, and suppressed a trace of reluctance in his heart and said, "It's time to send you all away!"
Thinking about Su Mingyu all the way, Lin Xi dragged the woven bag with a trailer, squeezed onto the bus, and after two more transfers, he finally returned to Antique Street.Everyone was so tired that they almost collapsed.
Seeing her shop now, she strode over as if she had seen the dawn.However, there was a man standing at the door of her shop.The more she looked, the more familiar she became, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became.
When the man turned around slowly, Lin Xi was stunned.
That was Su Mingyu. He was wearing a black shirt and casual trousers today, standing there with his hands in his pockets.I don't know what I'm thinking, and the expression on my face is a little melancholy.
"Are you out of business? Why are you here so late?"
Su Mingyu saw that Lin Xi had only come here now. He has always been a strict person and had formulated a set of methods for managing the company's employees. Now he couldn't help but violate his own set of methods for the employees.
Lin Xi glanced around. At this time, many shops in Antique Street have not opened, and it is deserted. She just opened the door two hours later than usual because of the purchase, and now she is said to be lazy.Hey, what do people like them know? They are used to being pampered, so they don't know what the situation of these small businesses is like.
"I don't care if I do business or not? You don't come to ask me to return the beads, do you? Let me tell you, once the products in this store are sold, they will not be returned or exchanged!"
It was Lin Xi's first time doing business, and he didn't want to cause trouble. A person like Su Mingyu was not easy to deal with at first glance. She had to talk to him clearly first.
Su Mingyu's eyes were filled with sarcasm, "I really have no eyesight, did I mention that I'm here to return the goods? I really doubt whether you are suitable for business!"
"Whether I'm suitable for business has something to do with you? Please don't block me, I'm going to open the door!" Lin Xi didn't bother to chat with him, since she knew that he wasn't here to return the goods, she felt relieved, now She has to be busy sorting things out.
Seeing her strong attitude, Su Mingyu knew that he just said something that shouldn't be said.Silently stepped aside, watched her open the rolling door, and then put a large bag of things on the shop and began to tidy up.
During the whole process, Lin Xi invested in the whole process, placing them according to the type, in the glass cabinet, on the glass counter, on the wall, long, short, large, small, in a string, priced and placed separately .
Sweat flowed from Lin Xi's forehead, soaking her forehead hair, and she didn't bother to wipe it off.Several guests came one after another, and she was busy greeting them again, and when she was busy, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.
Tired and exhausted, plus he hadn't eaten lunch, Lin Xi couldn't care less about his image now, so he picked up a bottle of water on the counter and drank it.
"Are you done?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind, Lin Xi turned around, but saw Su Mingyu carrying a bag of things.
"You haven't left yet?" She was very surprised.
Su Mingyu picked up the bag in his hand and put it on the counter, "I've been there all the time. I just saw that you were so busy that you didn't have time for lunch, so I went to the side to buy some food and came back. Why, have you already eaten?"
Lin Xi shook his head, not understanding what he meant.
"Eat first, and then talk about the pendant." Su Mingyu said unhurriedly, his eyes were so deep that people couldn't see through them, his handsome face was turned away from the light, and he knocked on the glass cabinet with one hand, looking determined to win. look.
It was only then that Lin Xi realized that he had gone to buy food for her, but the purpose of his appearance here was to buy a pendant, which annoyed her a bit, she would never sell this pendant!
"How much is the meal fee, I'll give it to you first." Lin Xi said as he took out his bag from the drawer under the glass cabinet to prepare to pay the bill.
Su Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "No need."
"I have to give you, how much?"
"Can not remember."
"Let me see what you have bought, and I will give you an estimate." Lin Xi is a person who does not accept gifts from others easily, and insists on paying, but when she took out all the dishes, she was taken aback.
There are four dishes in total, all of which are delicious in color, fragrance, and taste. There are squirrel fish, roast beef, stewed chicken in soup, and a portion of golden crispy corn. Judging from the color and the container of the dishes, they are not bought in ordinary restaurants.
"Why did you buy so many dishes for me? It looks so expensive." Lin Xi was a little distressed. These dishes not only looked expensive, but also had a lot of weight. She couldn't eat so much at all.Regardless of whether Su Mingyu accepted it or not, Lin Xi took out 200 yuan from his bag and handed it to Su Mingyu: "This is for you."
For now, that's a price she can afford.
Su Mingyu shrugged, saying that he didn't care whether she gave the money or not, and he would not take the money.
