Li Xiaoxiao stayed alone in a guest room of the hotel. It was the busiest time for hotel business, and almost all the staff were busy.
Li Shiyu Shengda Hotel has several branches, and each branch has more or less difficult things that she needs to deal with.
Li Xiaoxiao was looking through the clothes and shoes that Assistant Li Shiyu bought for her in the guest room, and finally dug out the gold chain.
She hung the gold chain around her neck, but it felt awkward.
Suddenly an idea came to his mind, why not take out the gold chain and sell it. Even if Wang Gensheng came back, he would only get a few scoldings at most.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao packed the gold chain in a shoe box, then put it in a handbag and left the hotel.
At this time, everyone was busy, so no one paid attention to her.
After leaving the hotel, Li Xiaoxiao went to a small store to buy a bottle of drink and chatted with the waiter: "Sister, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter, tell me." the waiter replied with a smile.
"I want to ask where I can buy gold and silver jewelry. I have a chain on my hand that I want to sell," Li Xiaoxiao said.
"Little sister, you have asked the right person. Take the bus and go directly to the antique market. The prices there are more fair and reasonable."
The waiter introduced Li Xiaoxiao enthusiastically and even showed Li Xiaoxiao the bracelet on his hand.
After Li Xiaoxiao thanked her repeatedly, he didn't even take the bus when he went out, but took a taxi directly to the antique market.
Anyway, she has money, so she can be extravagant if she can.
This is Li Xiaoxiao's first time visiting an antique market. Before that, her favorite places were department stores and clothing stores.
However, when she saw that the antique market was also bustling, she couldn't help but be a little curious.
There really weren't many new things here. What surprised her the most was that the inconspicuous bottles and cans she saw in the countryside could be sold at high prices here.
Li Xiaoxiao passed by several stall owners setting up street stalls, and someone actually asked her: "Little girl, do you have any good goods for sale?"
Looking at the stall owner's almost obscene smile, Li Xiaoxiao felt a little confused.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still felt that it would be safer to find a storefront.
At a crossroads in the antique market, there is a large gold shop.
There is a big sign in front of the gold store, which says that various gold and silver jewelry and antique toys are purchased at high prices.
Li Xiaoxiao was quite scheming. After observing at the door for a long time, he found that the clerks in the gold shop were very enthusiastic and almost all the customers came out with a smile.
After waiting until there were fewer people inside, Li Xiaoxiao walked in, still looking a little timid.
A waiter asked with a smile: "Little sister, our store has what you little girls want, such as ivory combs and white jade bracelets."
"Does your store accept chains?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.
"What chain?" asked the boy.
"Gold chain." Li Xiaoxiao said.
"Of course I'll take it. Didn't you see our sign outside? We bought it at a high price and we're fair and square." The waiter said with a smile.
"Brother, how much does it cost per gram?" Li Xiaoxiao asked warily.
"Little sister, it depends on the quality. For example, there is a big difference between 18k gold and 24k gold. I can't give you a clear answer."
The guy squinted his eyes and looked very serious.
Li Xiaoxiao took out the box of the handbag and placed the box on the counter.
After opening the box, there was a shining gold chain inside.
The clerk kept weighing it in his hand, and even took out a magnifying glass to look at something.
Finally, he frowned: "Little sister, I'm not sure what the quality is yet. Why don't you ask our shopkeeper?"
Li Xiaoxiao thought about it and had no objection.
The waiter called over a man in his forties, who was wearing a long coat and really looked like a shopkeeper in ancient times.
The shopkeeper took the gold chain into his hand and weighed it a few times, then looked at it a few times and said to Li Xiaoxiao with a smile: "Little girl, let's go inside and talk."
Li Xiaoxiao, as if scratching his head, took the box and went with the shopkeeper to the small tea room inside.
After Li Xiaoxiao sat down, the shopkeeper showed a hint of embarrassment: "Little girl, your gold chain is very controversial. Why don't I ask the boss for permission?"
"Shopkeeper, will you accept it or not?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.
"Then give me an accurate price. If I think it's suitable, I'll sell it to you." Li Xiaoxiao brought the box to him.
"Hahaha, little girl, you are quite vigilant. Don't worry, our boss is right behind. I'm going to call him out right now."
The shopkeeper laughed heartily, which made Li Xiaoxiao less vigilant.
The shopkeeper went to the back, where he found a more luxuriously decorated office.
Sitting at the desk in the office was a man of about sixty years old.
"Boss, I saw a good product and I want to ask you to show it." The shopkeeper said softly.
"Since it is a good product, just accept it." The man said coldly.
"Boss, we have seen this item before. If I guess correctly, it is worn by Xiong Biao." The shopkeeper said quickly.
"Is he the second-generation Xiong Biao who wants to curry favor with Fenghuo Hall?" The man couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, it belongs to him, but I don't understand how this thing got into the hands of a little girl." The shopkeeper said with a surprised look on his face.
"I'll go take a look." The man stood up and said coldly.
Afterwards, the man and the shopkeeper left the office and went to the small living room.
Li Xiaoxiao was already impatient with waiting and was about to leave.
The man walked to the table, picked up the gold chain, and observed it carefully.
Suddenly, his hand shook and he said apologetically to Li Xiaoxiao: "Little girl, your chain is gold-plated and not worth much."
Li Xiaoxiao was immediately shocked.
The shopkeeper was also shocked, but he immediately realized that his boss had used a trick to cover up the chain and quietly changed it.
It's just that this method is too fast, and the shopkeeper can't see any flaws at all, let alone the mortal Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao took the gold chain handed over by the man and obviously felt that it was a little less heavy, so he bit his silver teeth and said, "You changed my chain."
"Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. Why do you think I changed your chain?" the man scolded in a cold voice.
"I can feel it, please return my chain to me." Li Xiaoxiao finally understood that he had encountered a black shop, and now he was in trouble.
"Little girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite. Can you produce the certification certificate and invoice for the chain?" the man asked loudly.
