Returning to his kennel in despair, Zhou Qingfeng lay down on the broken bed for an hour and couldn't fall asleep. It was not yet noon, and although he didn't sleep all night last night, he was not sleepy at all.
Vaguely remembering that he still hadn't gotten rid of the few pieces of jewelry he got from Fang Ruhu's house, Zhou Qingfeng got up and went to find one of his teachers who owned a pawn shop. The Mercedes-Benz pickup truck with the American photo album could only be driven at night, so he called one
The taxi went to the second-hand market in the city.
"Teacher, I have something, and I want you to help me get rid of it." This time, Zhou Qingfeng approached the old man Ma who owned the pawn shop like a thief, and said with some concern: "But the thing that came back here is a bit erroneous.
"
Old Man Ma, who was in his sixties, glanced at Zhou Qingfeng angrily, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the things first."
A few pieces of gold and silver jewelry that were not very valuable, plus the Guanyin jade pendant, which was of no good quality. Old man Ma didn't pay much attention to gold and silver jewelry. These things only cost a few thousand yuan at most, but it was the Guanyin jade pendant that kept him coming back.
Watch and see.
"Where did this thing come from?" After looking at it for half an hour, Old Man Ma had a serious face.
"It's considered stolen." Zhou Qingfeng didn't make any excuses in front of his teacher.
"Stealed?" Old Man Ma immediately grabbed a feather duster at hand and slapped Zhou Qingfeng on the head, "I told you not to learn well, I told you not to learn well. How dare you bring stolen things to me?
?You want me to sell the stolen goods to you, right? I have been a teacher all my life, and I have been innocent all my life. You want to drag the teacher into the water, right?"
Even being beaten with a feather duster didn't hurt, and Zhou Qingfeng felt the pain standing in front of Old Man Ma's counter. He knew that being beaten showed that his teacher was still interested in him, and if he drove him away without saying a word, it meant that he had been completely divided.
The line is drawn.
After more than a dozen strokes, Old Man Ma was very tired. He put the Guanyin Jade Pendant back into the box and pushed it in front of Zhou Qingfeng, saying: "Take the things away, and I'll pretend you didn't see them. It's best not to steal things."
If you do it, you will be caught sooner or later."
"What I stole was from Fang Ruhu's house." Zhou Qingfeng revealed the situation as if squeezing out toothpaste, "How can ordinary people have anything for me to steal? Stealing from a bastard like Fang Ruhu is not considered stealing."
Unsurprisingly, this sophistry provoked another feather duster attack. When Old Man Ma was out of breath again, Zhou Qingfeng could only plead: "Teacher, if you don't tell me, who will have the guts to accept this thing? I won't give it to you."
It’s troublesome.”
But Old Man Ma sighed repeatedly about this and said: "Teacher has already tricked you. The teacher made a profit of twenty or thirty thousand from those two diamonds a few days ago. The things have been sold to other big cities. All you need to do is to forge one."
With the appraisal certificate, the price can skyrocket. Since my shipment is cheaper, some people are already chasing me for the goods."
Ah..., things sound good too!
"It's a pity that I can't provide a stable supply here." Zhou Qingfeng felt that selling diamonds is actually a good business. There are a lot of diamonds in the wasteland, and you can get as much as you want. It's a pity that this inexplicable time travel is completely unpredictable for the loot.
, the last time it was one gram of supplies, but this time it was designated as a car. Who knows what it will be next time?
Old Man Ma looked at the Guanyin jade pendant again and whispered: "Is this jade pendant really as square as a tiger?"
"That's right."
"Are your hands and feet clean?"
"I wore gloves, muffs and a hat. There shouldn't be any traces left at the scene."
"Fang Laohu is not a good person, and his brother is not a good person either." The old man in his sixties was also angry. He said with a cold face: "This jade pendant is exquisitely carved. It should be a master-class work in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The material is
It is authentic Hetian mutton-fat jade.
The market price of such a small piece is at least 500,000 yuan, and there is no market for it. Because the Hotan jade mines are now exhausted, it is difficult to have such high-quality jade. Leave this thing to me, and I will find an opportunity to give it to you.
You sell it. It is estimated that it will sell for fifteen to two hundred thousand, and then you will be seven and I will be three, and the teacher will not take advantage of you."
"Teacher,..." Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself that this old man, who has always been rigid, suddenly changed his mind?
Old Man Ma sighed dejectedly again, "Your senior brother had something happen to him abroad, and last month he was urging me to help him raise money. How can I still have money with my old bones? Now that I know there is something wrong with your thing, I can't
I have no choice but to take over."
Zhou Qingfeng knew that Old Man Ma's two sons were abroad. It seemed that what had happened was not a big deal, and the old man in his sixties was even willing to ruin his reputation.
After coming out of the pawn shop, Zhou Qingfeng left the Guanyin jade pendant behind, but took back some gold and silver jewelry. According to Old Man Ma, these chains are worthless at all. They cost at most three thousand yuan. You can just find any.
The goldsmith shop on the roadside could melt it and sell it, so he didn't bother to put in the effort.
He called a taxi again and was about to go home when Aunt Zhang called again and asked how he felt about the two women he told him about in the morning. Did he want to make an appointment to have a meal and chat?
Aunt Zhang is also a real person. She probably took 10,000 yuan from Zhou Qingfeng. She feels uncomfortable if she doesn't do something for him. She even has time to introduce women to him.
Zhou Qingfeng saw that it was almost noon, so he agreed and chose a higher-end coffee shop in the city center as the meeting place. But when he arrived, he found that except for Aunt Zhang, the introducer, there were no booths in the coffee shop.
There were actually two women sitting inside, plus a little boy about two years old.
Zhou Qingfeng was stunned on the spot!
Auntie, have you made a mistake? It’s fine if you introduce two of them, but you bring two women at the same time, how do I deal with it? Isn’t this a joke?
The two women were also very reserved, and they were even more embarrassed when they saw Zhou Qingfeng's appearance. They did not expect that Aunt Zhang would introduce the man to them and actually put the two women together at the table first.
"This is Xu Rong. She works in the Municipal Archives Bureau. She is twenty-five years old, about the same age as you. This child is Xu Rong's. He hasn't had a name yet, so he has been calling him Xiaobao. He's so good.
This is Feng Wan, who works in the city newspaper. She is thirty-two and has been divorced for a few years. Even though she is older than you, there are many people she wants to pursue, but no one can catch her eye. "
With a mouth like an aunt's electric trumpet, Zhou Qingfeng knew the identity of the two women in just a few words. Both Xu Rong and Feng Wan became more and more embarrassed. Their pretty faces were slightly red, and they didn't know what to do.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Qingfeng became more generous and took the initiative to reach out and said: "My name is Zhou Qingfeng, an unemployed vagrant."
Neither of the two women seemed to care much about Zhou Qingfeng's status as a 'vagrant', and shook hands with him obediently. Zhou Qingfeng thought of the few pieces of jewelry he had with him, so he simply took them out to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha. A gold chain was given to him.
Aunt Zhang and the two women each have a silver chain.
This gift is not heavy, but the packaging is quite exquisite. It is very suitable to give as a gift. Zhou Qingfeng laughed and said: "I always carry this gift with me to please girls, but I didn't expect that it will finally come in handy."
This self-deprecation provoked a burst of laughter, but the laughter was not enough to make everyone feel relaxed.
Aunt Zhang got a gold chain and happily made an excuse to leave. Facing the two beauties, Zhou Qingfeng continued to joke: "I'm sorry, I don't know why Aunt Zhang is like this? But at the same time,
Seeing two beauties, I feel so proud! If you want to laugh when you see me, just laugh! Anyway, I really want to laugh."
As soon as these words were said, both women burst into laughter, and most of the awkwardness was resolved in an instant, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
