The chicken pot cup fell to the ground instantly, with a crisp "snap" sound. It fell to pieces, and the broken pieces were scattered everywhere.

Huo Xing'an's face changed drastically and he shouted, "Why are you so careless? This is a rare treasure worth 300 million at the auction!"

Aimingao was also surprised, "Such a gadget is worth 300 million, are you kidding me?"

"Who are you kidding?" Huo Xing'an quickly picked up two larger pieces of debris and smacked his lips with pity, "It's over, now there are only sixteen left."

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his breathing, Huo Xing'an had a sullen face and didn't know how to treat Ai Mingao.

He poured it into the sofa next to him, pointed around, and said helplessly: "These are Mr. Liao's private collection. He bought them through various channels. Each piece is a rare treasure."

"It was only because I had some contact with him that he allowed me to visit. He bought this chicken bowl cup from someone else with great difficulty and regarded it as a treasure of the museum."

"But you broke it. How can I explain it to him? Alas!"

Ai Mingao was very puzzled. When the chicken cup came into his hand, it felt slippery, as if it had been greased.

What's more, he doesn't know yet whether this thing is genuine or not. He can't just rely on Huo Xing'an's words to confirm that it is genuine.

So he said: "Secretary Huo, can you let me take away the fragments to confirm. If it is true, I will sell the iron and lose all my wealth. I will also pay it to Chairman Liao."

Huo Xing'an frowned and asked coldly: "You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you. In fact, this thing is extremely valuable and cannot be taken lightly. Please understand."

"Yes!" Huo Xing'an waved his hand impatiently at Ai Mingao, "You go ahead and leave me alone. We will contact you later."

Ai Mingao wanted to say something else, but Huo Xing'an was too lazy to pay attention to him. He closed his eyes, leaned his head on the back of the sofa and stopped talking.

Feeling depressed and heavy, Ai Mingao returned home and called his wife Song Yunhui.

He sighed and said: "Please come home, I have something to say."

Song Yunhui didn't understand what he meant, "Is there anything I can't say on the phone?"

"Let's talk about it in person."

Sensing that something was wrong with her husband, Song Yunhui didn't waste a moment and appeared in front of Aimingao in less than half an hour.

The room was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke, and there was a frowning Aimingao. Song Yunhui sat next to him nervously, poked Aimingao's arm, and asked anxiously why.

"I got into trouble..."

Ai Mingao kept the story short and told his wife about breaking the chicken bowl and cup.

Even though Song Yunhui has only been in the business for a few days, he has heard that chicken bowl cups are rare treasures.

Originally, there were only a limited number of preserved ones, with only four among the private sector.

Now that one has been broken into pieces by Aimingao, its value is even more difficult to estimate.

Song Yunhui was dumbfounded and stunned.

If it was genuine, their whole family couldn't afford to pay for it.

"Ming Gao, what should we do?" Song Yunhui was so anxious that her eyes were red and her brain was in a mess.

Ai Mingao took several puffs of cigarettes and sighed helplessly: "I don't know, I hope it's an imitation..."

After that, he threw the cigarette into the ashtray, walked into the study room with a stooped body, and closed the door heavily.

Song Yunhui pulled out a few tissues, wiped the corners of her eyes, thought about it, and dialed Wen Xiumei's cell phone, "Sister Wen, there is something I want to apologize to you for..."

Wen Xiumei on the other end of the phone was shocked at first when she heard that Ai Mingao broke the chicken cup. "Yunhui, why is your Ai Mingao so careless? The chicken cup is a rare item of Mr. Liao, and outsiders won't give it to him."

You see. My Lao Huo is the only one who has a personal relationship with Dong Liao. Tell me, how can Lao Huo explain to Dong Liao? You guys have caused misfortune to me and Lao Huo."

"Sister Wen, please help me think of a way. It's worth 300 million. We, we can't afford to lose it in our lifetime..."

"Just wait for my call." Wen Xiumei said nothing and hung up the phone.

That night, Ai Mingao was pulled by a car sent by Liao Youzhi to the place where he had been during the day.

It was still the same room. Besides Huo Xing'an, there was also the potbellied Liao Youzhi.

They had met each other, but Ai Mingao and Liao Youzhi were casual acquaintances.

We can’t talk about how good it is, nor how bad it is.

At this moment, Ai Mingao felt extremely embarrassed when he saw Liao Youzhi.

Tonight, Huo Xing'an called and asked him to come over for face-to-face discussions.

As a client, avoiding the problem would not solve the problem, so Aimingao went to the appointment with all his heart.

Upon meeting, Ai Minggao first apologized deeply to Liao Youzhi, "Dr. Liao, it is my responsibility to break the chicken bowl cup. Regarding the issue of compensation, I am completely at your mercy."

Liao Youzhi touched his broad forehead and shouted toward the door, "Bring the things up."

The door opened, and a young man held a tray in his hands, covered with a piece of red silk.

Place it neatly on the coffee table in front of Liao Youzhi.

After they left, Liao Youzhi made an invitation gesture to Ai Mingao, "Secretary Ai, don't you want to verify the authenticity of the chicken cup? Look!"

He stretched out his right hand, grabbed a corner of the red silk cloth and gently pulled it. Several fragments of the chicken bowl cup immediately appeared on the tray.

"All the things are here. Please take them for identification. As for whether they are genuine, imitations or fakes, we will discuss them later when the results come out."

Ai Minggao glanced at it briefly and shook his head slightly, "Forget it, Mr. Liao, with your status, I trust you. I won't judge you anymore. Just talk about how I should compensate you."

Liao Youzhi's expression was calm. He picked up the teacup and blew on it. He said without raising his eyelids: "Secretary Ai, I, Liao Youzhi, like collecting. Many businessmen from the Gulf of Ruozhou also have this hobby."

"To tell you the truth, all the things here together are not as valuable as this broken chicken cup. Originally, I kept the chicken cup in a safe and would not show it easily. One is that I am a low-key person.

Not to be public; secondly, I am afraid of attracting the attention of lawless elements for no reason and causing disaster."

"Considering that Secretary Huo also likes collecting, we share the same goals. Therefore, I am willing to show you the treasure of the museum today for the sake of Secretary Huo's face and to respect your character, Secretary Ai."

"No one wants to have an accident like this happen, let alone experience it. If I ask you to pay, you can't afford it, and I will still get a bad reputation. So, I only want to make one condition."

Aimingao immediately became alert and asked: "What conditions?"

Liao Youzhi took a sip of tea, slowly put down the tea bowl, and said slowly: "I heard that your wife is also collecting. If you get something good in the future, I hope you will be the first to contact me. Of course, I will definitely buy it according to the market price. I will definitely buy it at the market price."

I won’t let you suffer.”

"I, Liao Youzhi, have been doing business in Ruozhou for more than ten years, and I don't care much about money. What's more, money is something external to the body, and it won't be taken away until life and death. What I value is feelings, Secretary Ai's character, and I like to make friends.

Friends like you.”

Before coming, Ai Mingao thought about many versions, but he never thought that Liao Youzhi would let him go easily without any compensation.

"Dr. Liao, you..."

"Secretary Ai, a man is sure of what he says. Secretary Huo is here to testify. If you don't believe me, we can sign a settlement agreement. The law is fair and I will never embarrass you. This matter ends here and will no longer be pursued."

Liao Youzhi said this, and Huo Xing'an comforted him: "Ming Gao, Mr. Liao is a man of his word. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Aimingao say.

He showed a magnanimous attitude, but if he thought too much, he would be too petty.

What was originally thought to be a tit-for-tat thunderstorm ended in calmness, which was far beyond Aimingao's expectations.

I kept thinking about it on the way home, so that when the car arrived at the community, I was still sitting in the car in a daze.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Song Yunhui heard the sound and came forward to greet him, eagerly asking him how the conversation was going.

Aimingao took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, sat down, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Wiping the corner of his mouth, he said: "It's strange, Liao Youzhi won't let me pay him. He just hopes that if I find good items in the future, he will be the first to contact him and let him collect them. Yunhui, please help me analyze what Liao Youzhi sells in the gourd."

What kind of medicine?"

Song Yunhui refilled Ai Minggao's empty tea cup and said thoughtfully: "The chicken pot cup is really worth three hundred million. We have given everything we have, including not eating or drinking for the rest of our lives. We can't afford to compensate him. Instead of being empty-handed, why not be empty-handed?"

Why not sell me a favor and take the opportunity to make friends with you."

"Anyway, he is not short of money, and businessmen are willing to make friends with officials. In the future, within the scope allowed by the policy, you can help him a little bit until the favor is repaid."
