Seeing Lin Haitao walking in in a hurry, He Qing said hello quickly.
At this moment, the old man who came to give gifts and invite people also noticed Lin Haitao. For some reason, when he saw Lin Haitao, his expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be uneasy.
When Lin Haitao approached, he seemed to recognize the old man, but he did not say hello to him. He just frowned slightly. He didn't know what he thought was wrong.
"Hey brother, you have guests coming, so I won't interrupt you. Let's talk about it later." The old man said goodbye immediately.
"Old sir, you haven't picked up your things yet." He turned around and was about to leave, but He Qing hurriedly stopped him, indicating that he hadn't picked up the valuable string of beeswax beads yet.
"Haha, let's talk about it next time." The old man smiled awkwardly, then closed the brocade box, picked it up and left "Yi Gu Xuan" quickly, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.
But as soon as he walked out, He Qing received a call. He didn't expect it to be him.
"Hey brother, it's me, the person who just visited your store to talk to you." The old man said with a smile on the phone.
"Well, I know." He Qing naturally heard it right away, but he was a little confused as to how the other party knew his phone number. They didn't give it to him just now, but he quickly figured it out and just said that he was here
There is quite a celebrity on this antique street, and quite a few people know his contact information. He has been passed down from place to place, so it is not surprising that the old man knows it.
"Old sir, do you have anything else?" He Qing asked immediately. The other party had just offered him a lot of money, but he decisively rejected the other party's kindness. With the "Bao Appraisal Studio" and the miraculous ability to appraise treasures,
He will not work for others, and he will not give any consideration to the high salary. Of course, the reason why he still stays in "Jianbaozhai" now is mainly to strengthen his studies and to help Lin Haitao and Mr. Deng.
They are busy.
"Hey brother, I wonder when you will be free?" The old man said enthusiastically, "I want to treat you to a meal. We will discuss it carefully then."
He Qing said politely: "Thank you, but I'm afraid I don't have time today."
"Then let's do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. When you have time." The old man begged hurriedly, with quite a perseverance.
He Qing was vaguely moved, but he couldn't agree to this matter. He was very determined, so he had to say: "Old sir, I'm really sorry, we can't talk about that matter. I won't go out now."
You'd better hire someone wiser to do things, there are many talented people in Antique Street. I'm just a junior, nothing compared to all the great sages!"
"Hey brother, you are too modest." The old man sighed and said, "Hey, okay, let's talk about it next time."
He had to turn off his cell phone regretfully.
"Brother Qing, why was Shopkeeper Mei from Hengfeng Appraisal Institute here just now? What did he talk to you about? It seems like the matter is urgent."
After He Qing hung up the phone, Lin Haitao said in surprise.
He Qing asked instead, "Boss Mei from the Hengfeng Appraisal Institute? Who is he? Is there any problem?"
He still couldn't remember where he had heard the name of this laboratory, but Lin Haitao pointed out: "'Hengfeng Laboratory'. I have mentioned it to you before, right? This laboratory is of the same nature as 'Tang Mingyuan'
, it was also invested by Qi Sanye. Qi Sanye is the boss behind the scenes, and the appraisal experts in Hengfeng can be said to be his bastards who work wholeheartedly for him. The boss Mei who was talking to you just now is also one of them.
one."
"Well, I understand!" He Qing suddenly realized. This time he remembered that it was Lin Haitao who had told him. Lin Haitao told him about all the antique collection shops controlled by Mr. Qi.
, let him be careful, it is best not to have any contact with their people.
"Brother Qing, what did Shopkeeper Mei tell you?" Lin Haitao said, "Just now I saw that what he was holding seemed to be a very good string of Buddhist beads. I guess he wanted to win over you? Don't do it because of something in the past.
Although shopkeeper Mei has a kind-hearted and friendly appearance, he is actually different from what he looks like, and he is not a good person. If you accept some benefits from him today, he will definitely change his ways.
I’ll give you back tenfold!”
"I know, I didn't promise him anything." He Qing nodded solemnly. He didn't expect that Shopkeeper Mei was the third master of Qi. Otherwise, he would have kicked him out a long time ago. How could he talk to him so politely?
, let him be the accomplice of villains like Mr. Qi, and it would be impossible to kill him.
"That's good." Lin Haitao breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled happily.
"Let's not talk about it." He Qing said, "I won't agree to his request anyway. Haitao, what's the matter with you coming here in such a hurry? I told you, Boss Long said that he will leave for the capital tomorrow morning, and now it's still
Morning, no need to worry."
Lin Haitao shook his head and said: "It's not about this. What should I be anxious about? I can go there sooner or later. But it's also related to this matter that I'm looking for you."
"What's going on?" He Qing asked curiously.
Lin Haitao replied: "The thing is like this, last night my grandpa said that they are going to the capital in the next few days. They have two more important things to do, and they can come with us again."
"Oh, really?! That's great!" Hearing Lin Haitao talk about this, He Qing was surprised and happy. Mr. Zheng and the others also want to go to the capital. This is a great thing that they can only hope for. Not only do they have company
Yes, and when you encounter any problems, you can directly contact Mr. Zheng and others. After all, he is new to the antique business and has a lot to learn.
Lin Haitao smiled and said: "Yes, I want them to go too, so that we can take care of them after they go."
He Qing said: "But Boss Long only booked plane tickets for the two of us. How about I call Boss Long immediately to refund the two plane tickets, and we can buy them ourselves. It's okay to rush to the capital later."
.”
Lin Haitao shook his head and said: "That's no need. Grandpa said that we can go to the capital first, and they will arrive soon. We will meet again then, isn't it the same?"
"That's true." He Qing nodded.

"...Third Master, this is the situation."
In an antique appraisal agency at the corner of Antique Street, in a relatively dimly lit inner room, Shopkeeper Mei, who had just returned from "Yi Gu Xuan", was reporting the relevant situation to Mr. Qi.
"The boy named He is really noble. We have offered such generous terms, but he still seems indifferent. I don't know how that old man Deng Yingchang bribed him. Did he offer a very high salary?! Otherwise, he
Why are you so determined to stay in 'Jianbaozhai'?!" Mr. Qi said with a gloomy face, his eyes full of doubts.
Shopkeeper Mei replied: "Third Master, according to what he said, his salary at Jianbaozhai is not high, only more than 10,000 yuan a month, but he is unwilling to come out. His attitude is so determined, I
There is no other way. However, although he rejected my invitation, his tone was very good and he said that he could help us. If we come to him for anything, maybe he would come over to help us. Third Master, what do you think we should do? The next step is
Continue to talk to him, or do you have other arrangements?"
Mr. Qi nodded slowly and said, "Let's do this. Give him a call in the evening and tell him that you are not sure about something you have on hand. Ask him to come over and help with the palm eye. The appraisal fee will not be less for him."
Yes, I want to talk to him personally after you call him here, but I don’t know what his attitude is towards me."
"Yeah, okay." Shopkeeper Mei quickly nodded in agreement.
…………
At around six o'clock in the evening, He Qing's shop had closed, and he was about to rush to the new house Gu Qing rented when he suddenly received a call. When he saw clearly that the number on the phone screen was the number of the shopkeeper Mei of "Hengfeng Appraisal Institute"
, an inexplicable feeling of anger suddenly welled up in his heart. Of course, he was angry with Mr. Qi, because he knew very well that Mr. Qi was behind this incident. He saw that he had repeatedly ruined him.
He wanted to recruit him because of his good deeds, but little did he know that he was just dreaming.
"Brother He, I'm sorry to trouble you again." Shopkeeper Mei said very politely on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter, Shopkeeper Mei?" He Qing asked calmly.
"Brother He..." Hearing He Qing call him "Shop Manager Mei" and his tone became so cold again, Shopkeeper Mei seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he immediately corrected his tone and said solemnly, "Brother He
, I have something to trouble you with, that is, we are really not sure about a few things here, and I really want to ask you to come over and help me. Don’t worry, as long as the things are properly appraised, I will never treat you badly!"
"No time." He Qing refused without thinking. How could he not know that this was probably a game specially arranged by Mr. Qi, and he wanted to get into it stupidly.
He Qing is not stupid, he will not attend this "Hongmen Banquet".
"There's no rush." Shopkeeper Mei walked down the slope and said, "We'll talk about it when you have time."
He Qing smiled bitterly on the phone and said: "Shop Manager Mei, please don't call me again or come to our store. I accept your wishes, but I will not go to your laboratory."
, I don’t just show people things casually! That’s it, we have nothing to talk about anymore.”
"Brother He -" Shopkeeper Mei was about to say something, but He Qing had already hung up the phone resolutely.
"It's a joke, Mr. Qi wants to bribe me with one million!"
After hanging up the phone, He Qing put Shopkeeper Mei's phone number on the blacklist and thought to himself: "Don't talk about an annual salary of one million, even if you offer me 100 million, I won't agree to it.
No matter how much money you make by cooperating with people like this, what fun is there?!"
