Zhu Yu wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Old John looked like he had seen through the world, he sighed secretly and went out to unload the things from the pickup truck.

The fishing equipment was bought by an old drunkard in the bar for $4,500.

After retiring, this old alcoholic's only pleasure besides drinking here was fishing.

He couldn't bear to buy such a valuable fishing rod. Now there is a second-hand product, which is 80% or 90% new. How could he let it go?

As for the farm tools, they were placed directly in the utility room behind the bar. John said that someone would come and pick them up later.

Zhu Yu went out immediately.

I went to wash the car first, then went to the supermarket to buy two bags of organic fruits, and returned to the rental place.

Here in the beautiful country, the price difference between organic and inorganic food in supermarkets is several times higher.

Given Zhu Yu's current conditions, eating some organic food is nothing.

But when Aunt Susan saw the organic label, she felt differently.

"Mrs. Susan, come and try this fruit." Zhu Yu casually handed a bag of fruit to Aunt Susan.

"Zhu, you are too polite!" Aunt Susan said it seriously.

"It's okay. By the way, I'm going to take a shower. Is it convenient?"

"Of course it's convenient!" Aunt Susan took the fruit and said with a smile, "Use it, it's just free time anyway. By the way, Zhu Yu, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu smiled and had to call Joanna later. It was almost the weekend and she should be back.

But when I think about it, I feel a little worried. Although the rented place is better than the container, there is Aunt Susan here.

I don't know if this place is soundproofed or not, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.

After hearing Zhu Yu say that he has a girlfriend, Aunt Susan showed a disappointed expression on her face:

"I have a daughter Linda, and I want to introduce her to you... What a pity."

Zhu Yu was sweating profusely and hurriedly went into the house to take a shower.

Susan shook her head in disappointment.

She really planned to introduce her daughter to Zhu Yu.

Susan has been running a small hotel for a long time, and she has visited countless people. It can be seen that Zhu Yu is a good young man.

I just didn't expect that the other party had a girlfriend.

Zhu Yu had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Meng Xiaofan.

"Have you found a buyer? Great!" Zhu Yu answered the phone while wiping himself, "How to deal?"

Although the boxwood pen holder is exquisite, it is of little use to Zhu Yu.

Not as practical as a copper brush.

"At our school. People have already arrived. Look..."

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Zhu Yu wiped it in a hurry, took the pen holder, randomly found a paper box to put it in, turned the brush and went out.

After driving to Columbia University, Zhu Yu found Meng Xiaofan, Song Yan, and a middle-aged Chinese woman wearing glasses in a coffee shop waiting at the location pointed by Meng Xiaofan.

Zhu Yu was a little surprised. Usually, collectors are men, and there are very few women. This time, he met a live one!

"Hello, are you Zhu Yu?"

The woman spoke first, but her eyes were mainly on the box in Zhu Yu's hand.

Zhu Yu circled the brush in his hand twice, nodded and said:

"Yes, are you the Dr. Li that Miss Meng said?"

Meng Xiaofan said that the person who was interested in purchasing the pen holder was a doctor who came here for exchange and study. He wanted to buy the pen holder and take it back home as a gift for his family.

"It's me." Dr. Li has a strong intellectual aura, short hair, and looks relatively capable, not particularly beautiful, but very elegant.

Song Yan couldn't help but say:

"Zhu Yu, take out your things and show them to Sister Yaru!"

Zhu Yu didn't refuse, so he stopped the brush at hand, opened the paper box, and handed the things over.

Meng Xiaofan asked:

"Mr. Zhu, what do you want to drink?"

Zhu Yu didn't like coffee, and there was no tea here, so he said:

"Let's have a glass of lemonade."

Meng Xiaofan asked the waiter to bring lemonade, while Dr. Li and Li Yaru had already begun to "identify" the pen holder.

But this time he showed his timidity.

It turned out that Dr. Li directly took out his mobile phone, made a video call, and then held the pen holder for the other party to see.

They looked at it for a while and then gave the results of the genuine product.

As for the quotation, the other party didn't say anything. They should have sent it via mobile phone.

Li Yaru put down her pen holder and said to Zhu Yu with satisfaction:

"This pen holder is in good condition and well-preserved, so I want to take it. Please give me a price!"

Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:

"Fifty thousand dollars."

The price is neither high nor low, it is quite reasonable.

Zhu Yu did this just for the sake of Meng Xiaofan bringing people here.

As soon as he said this, before Li Yaru opened her mouth, Song Yan was unwilling:

"Zhu Yu, you are so open-mouthed! Why don't you grab fifty thousand dollars?"

Zhu Yu glanced at Song Yan displeased.

Song Yan was still a little unaware and continued:

"Do you know? I have a very good relationship with Sister Yaru and Xiao Fan. Even if you don't care about my face, you care about Xiao Fan's, so you can't ask for so much money?"

"It's so easy to get your pen holder, but the price is so high. Aren't you just trying to prey on our compatriots?"

She wanted to say something more, but Meng Xiaofan pulled her and she reluctantly stopped talking.

Zhu Yu didn't care about Meng Xiaofan for her sake, but his opinion of Song Yan was much different.

Song Yan was still a little unconvinced. Seeing that Zhu Yu ignored her, she couldn't help but mutter again:

"What I'm telling you is the truth! We are all compatriots and yet we still want to pay such a high price. Isn't this just killing people?"

"Are you buying it?" Zhu Yu couldn't help but asked.

"I'm not buying it!"

"Please shut up if you don't want to buy it!" Zhu Yu didn't save any face for her.

Song Yan was angered by the rebuke, turned around and said to Li Yaru:

"Let's go! Sister Yaru, we won't buy it! I'll find a better one in two days!"

As he spoke, he stood up.

However, neither Li Yaru nor Meng Xiaofan got up.

Meng Xiaofan also said to Zhu Yu:

"Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry, Yanyan doesn't know how to do it, don't mind!"

Zhu Yu nodded, it still makes sense!

Song Yan was not happy when she heard this:

"Why don't I understand? Isn't what I said the truth?"

Li Yaru patted her hand and said:

"Yanyan, sit down."

Song Yan was obedient this time and sat down, but her expression was a little aggrieved.

Li Yaru smiled and said to Zhu Yu:

"I'm sorry, Yanyan doesn't know the price of the antique business. Fifty thousand US dollars... This price is quite reasonable, let's just pay it!"

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

“That’s a pleasure to work with!”

I am in a happy mood, and the pen in my hand is circling happily.

When Li Yaru was paying Zhu Yu, she saw the pen in Zhu Yu's hand and suddenly asked:

"Your deal..."

"It's made of copper." Zhu Yu stopped his pen and said, "It's an old thing. I thought it was fun, so I kept it."

"Can you..." Although Li Yaru is not an expert, she is still an expert. She can tell at a glance that this deal is extraordinary!

"Sorry, I like this better, so..."

Zhu Yu didn't continue, but his intention of not selling was obvious.

Song Yan couldn't stand Zhu Yu's expression, and just as she was about to quarrel, Meng Xiaofan touched her with a warning in his eyes.

Song Yan pouted, turned her head to the side, and stopped talking.

Li Yaru was a little disappointed, but it was worth it to successfully take down the pen holder this time!
