Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"This one is too big. No."

The man with black glasses flipped through a page of shop sales details, touched his chin, and said, "This one is too small. It can't hold all your things."

Chi Yu sat on the chair beside him and took a sip of tea with an indifferent expression.

The man with black glasses flipped through several more pages, looking at the various shortcomings of the stores in his eyes with disdain.

Opposite the two of them, the shop salesperson's smile seemed a little forced.

"Sir, you should also know that there are strict regulations on how to build a shop, and there will always be some minor shortcomings that are not to your liking. But the shops in the booklet I brought you are already the best part of our place."

The man with black glasses uttered "Ha" and did not respond to the salesperson's explanations.

As he had completely read the booklet, Black Glasses was about to make some sharp comments on it, but he keenly sensed the implication of "either shut up or get out" from the increasingly obvious coldness around Chi Yu, and finally made the wise choice to stop.

The man with black glasses hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly pulled out a page from the brochure.

"Okay, after looking around, this is the only good one. The area is suitable, and there is a small warehouse in the back, which is barely enough. But we have to survey the layout there before we can make a final conclusion."

The man with black glasses said critically, pointing his finger at the shop advertisement he had chosen on the table, with a smile on his face that looked hateful and mean in the eyes of the salesperson: "Excuse me, please take us to have a look here first."

I wonder if anyone has told this guy that his expression really looks like he's asking for trouble, the salesperson thought to himself.

But who cares? He might as well do the field work. He no longer wanted to stay here and endure the nagging of this weirdo.

If the deal is finally successful, his boss should give him an extra 10% commission to compensate for the mental damage he is suffering.

Thinking of this, the salesman immediately showed a bright smile and quickly took back the brochure that was messed up by the man with black glasses: "Okay, the shop you like is not far from here. I will take you two to have a look."

The reason why Chi Yu and Black Glasses appeared in the sales department of the store was because of the funerary objects in Chi Yu's backpack.

Although his company has been growing steadily over the years, if he wants it to create more value and have a greater impact, he needs to invest more money.

As of now, apart from exchanging some real currency at a discount from the system store, the fastest way to make money is to resell those funerary objects.

Because of Black Glasses' previous escape, it was difficult for him to do any business in Changsha during this period.

Chi Yu saw that Black Glasses had found a place to settle down in Beijing and had nothing else to do except being occasionally hired by a few unlucky guys to rob tombs, so he immediately set his sights on him.

So one day, when Black Glasses came to see him again, Chi Yu pulled him aside to discuss the issue of opening a store - mainly about the salary and benefits.

In the end, the two of them reached an agreement, and it could even be said that they hit it off immediately. They went straight to the sales department of a shop near Panjiayuan as soon as they left the house.

Last year, the largest antique market in Beijing quietly changed. Panjiayuan replaced other places and became the most famous place in the northern market for selling stolen goods... or rather, for finding goods.

Mainly because there are too many people.

Seeing another short-sighted pickpocket about to rush over to him, Chi Yu let out a soft "tsk".

But before he could make any defensive moves, the man with black glasses grabbed him, and the unintentional move caused the yellow-haired boy to fall to the ground.

The salesman turned around and saw the situation behind him. He was about to stop and try to deal with the dispute, but Chi Yu gave him a cold glance: "Don't worry about him, let's go to the shop."

"But this guy might be a little troublesome." The salesman moved a little closer to him, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered, "They are a gang of pickpockets in this area. I'm afraid of him, so I'll send someone to cause trouble for you later."

The man with black glasses had already let go of Chi Yu's shoulders, walked up to the man and slowly squatted down.

Chi Yu no longer paid attention to the situation behind him, and continued to walk towards the shop with the salesperson: "He will take care of this kind of small matter, and you only need to be responsible for talking to me about the real business."

When Black Glasses dealt with those restless guys and found the store that he had condescended to choose before, the salesperson had already left happily with the contract.

Chi Yu stood alone in the empty shop, quietly looking at the interior environment, as if he was thinking about how to decorate the place.

The man with black glasses did not disturb Chi Yu's thoughts. He first walked around the store by himself.

"Well, the Feng Shui layout here is pretty good, it attracts wealth. If we decorate it a little more, we will definitely make a fortune."

The man with black glasses said, and thought for a while: "I just feel like something is missing. Boss Chi, what do you think?"

Chi Yu glanced at him and this time didn't even bother to say anything.

The man with black glasses didn't care and still maintained his intriguing smile: "We have a shop and a manager, but I think we are still in need of a waiter."

"And you gave all the work that should have been done by you to that so-called guy?"

Chi Yu sneered: "If so, I will deduct the clerk's salary directly from your share."

"So am I this kind of person in your heart?" asked the man with black glasses.

Isn't this nonsense?

Chi Yu answered without any hesitation: "Yes."

So the man with black glasses sighed a little sadly: "I know you will always treat me as a bad person, but it doesn't matter, I will get used to it."

"This way of speaking doesn't suit you. Do you mind changing it?" Chi Yu asked expressionlessly.

"Okay." The man with black glasses instantly returned to his normal expression, looking at Chi Yu and smiling, "I just took into consideration that we occasionally need to go out to handle those 'commissions', and we can't stay in the store all the time."

"But this is a great place. It would be a waste of business to close the shop every few days. It would be more convenient to find someone to look after the shop."

The reason given by Black Glasses this time was recognized by Chi Yu.

So Chi Yu asked him: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Black Glasses said, "After all, in a situation like ours, there are always very few people we can trust."

"But if you really can't find a suitable one, then just grab one that looks good outside. It shouldn't be that bad."

There was a burst of loud shouting and cursing from outside.

So Chi Yu and Black Glasses stopped chatting for a while, walked to the door together and watched the fun over there.

The scene of the incident was already surrounded by a crowd of people, but with the eyesight of the two of them, they could easily see what was happening there.

"Ha, who is this young fool? He doesn't even know how to hold something steady. Now the porcelain from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty has been wasted."

The man with black glasses was delighted at that time.

He looked at the fat man who was at the center of the incident, pointing at the offender and cursing without repeating a single word. He touched his chin and smiled with interest.

"Well, his eloquence sounds pretty good." Black Glasses concluded: "It's obvious that he's a talent suitable for sales."
