Chapter 1442 [1442] Don’t you still believe me?
"Make concessions? How can I make concessions? This is the most valuable asset in our store. This is the appraisal certificate issued by an expert. I am not cheating you." The proprietress said, slapping a certificate on the table.
Zhou Changqing picked it up and saw that it was indeed an appraisal report issued by an expert.
It is said that this vase is a genuine Yuan blue and white porcelain and is estimated to be worth 3.2 million.
He suddenly didn't know what to do.
The vase was broken by his mother, so of course he wanted to pay compensation.
But more than three million was simply something he could not afford.
Even if their family sold everything they had, they couldn't come up with that much money.
At this moment, for some reason, Ye Feng's image suddenly flashed through his mind.
After two days of contact, this young man's confident demeanor was appreciated by everyone in their exploration team.
Why is the other party so confident?
Isn't it because you have money? You don't have to worry about anything.
A mere three million is nothing to Mr. Ye.
But for him, this is an astronomical figure.
At this moment, he was very jealous of Ye Feng.
The lady boss put her hands on her hips and stared at him, "What? Can't you afford to pay? If you can't afford to pay, then don't touch it."
"Hurry up and raise the money for me. If you dare not pay, I will call the police and have you arrested."
"If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. It has nothing to do with my son." Zhou's mother stepped forward and stood in front of her son.
Zhou Changqing hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Mom, even if I have to go to jail, I will go. How can I let you go?"
"Changqing, you are still young, and Mom is already quite old. She is not afraid of going to jail."
"mom……"
Seeing the two pushing and shoving each other, the lady boss couldn't help it and slammed the table. "Stop pretending to be a loving mother and son in front of me. Hurry up and find a way to raise money."
Just when Zhou Changqing and his mother were at a loss, a fat middle-aged man walked out of the store and said, "Wife, please forgive them when you can. I think they are quite pitiful. Don't make things difficult for them."
He said this to the proprietress, who was obviously the owner of this antique shop.
Ye Feng, who was standing in the crowd, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Here they come, one plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy, it’s the same old routine.
The lady boss got furious when she heard this, and pointed at the boss' nose and yelled, "Wang Defa, do you have the right to speak here?"
"What do you mean by making things difficult for them? This is a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain worth more than three million yuan. Do you just want to forget it?"
The shop owner sighed deeply, "They all look pitiful. Where can they raise more than three million yuan? Aren't you pushing them to death?"
Zhou's mother immediately looked at the shop owner with gratitude, "Boss, you are such a good person. You are so right. Where can a family like ours get more than 3 million? Please be kind and let us go."
The shop owner sighed and said, "Don't worry, sister. You can pay as much as you can and forget about the rest."
"Forget it? For what? Wang Defa, it's not your turn to make the decision here." The proprietress jumped out again, obviously dissatisfied with the boss's way of handling the matter.
"Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up, believe it or not?" The boss also got angry and started cursing at the boss's wife.
The proprietress immediately sat on the ground and rolled around.
The boss didn't pay any attention to her, and turned to Zhou Changqing and said, "Don't worry about him, women are just long-haired and short-sighted." "Boss, you are such a good person!"
Zhou Changqing felt both grateful and guilty towards his boss.
The boss even had a conflict with his wife because of them, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
The shop owner took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
Zhou Changqing actually doesn't smoke, but after all, it was given to him by the store owner, so he had to give him some face and immediately took it with both hands.
The shop owner lit it for him, and then lit one for himself, then asked casually, "What do you do for a living, little brother?"
"I'm from the exploration team. My name is Zhou Changqing."
Zhou Changqing did not hide anything and immediately introduced himself.
"Exploration team? That must be very hard work, right?" the antique shop owner asked curiously.
"It's okay." Zhou Changqing didn't want to talk too much about his work.
But Wang Defang seemed very curious about his work and continued to ask, "Do you often go on missions?"
"Yeah." Zhou Changqing nodded, feeling that this boss was a little strange. Why did he keep asking about his work?
"Have you been on missions these two days?" Wang Defa asked again.
Zhou Changqing suddenly became alert and looked at him puzzledly, "Why are you asking this?"
Wang Defa smiled awkwardly and explained, "I also worked in an exploration team when I was young, so I feel very close to you and can't help but ask a few more questions."
"By the way, what did you find during your missions these past two days?"
"I'm sorry, our exploration team has regulations that all content during the mission must be strictly confidential." Although Zhou Changqing was grateful to the other party for speaking for him, some principles could not be trampled upon.
Wang De laughed somewhat awkwardly.
At this time, the proprietress jumped out again, pointed at Zhou Changqing's nose and scolded, "Oh, you have a bad temper. Can't I ask you a few questions? Wang Defa, look at who you are helping? You helped them, but they not only don't appreciate it, but also are wary of you everywhere."
Zhou's mother also felt bad and hurriedly tugged at her son's clothes, "Changqing, the boss is so kind to help us. He is our family's great benefactor. Just answer honestly when he asks you something, don't hide anything."
Zhou Changqing sighed helplessly, "Mom, our exploration team has a rule that we cannot disclose the mission content to anyone, not even you."
"Hmph, don't be ungrateful. Either you keep answering questions or you pay money, your choice." The proprietress jumped out again and continued to pressure.
Zhou Changqing became even more alert now.
The shop owner and his wife seemed very curious about the content of their exploration mission. Why?
He gritted his teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to raise his head, "I'm sorry, I really can't tell you the content of the mission."
"I will compensate you for this vase. If I can't afford it in one year, I'll pay you in ten years. If I can't afford it in ten years, I'll pay you in my whole life. Anyway, I won't owe you a penny."
The crowd watching him all thought that he was not very smart.
The store owner was clearly going to waive his compensation and just asked him to answer a few questions.
This guy would rather take on huge debts than answer.
Isn't this a brain problem?
The shop owner and his wife didn't expect Zhou Changqing to be so principled, and they exchanged glances quickly.
"Think it over carefully..." Wang Defa was about to continue speaking.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Good job, I really didn't make a mistake."
