Cheng Tianle interrupted Master Fan and said: "The 300,000 yuan quoted by the jade dealer is just the receiving price for you, but if they sell it in a craft counter in other places, how much do you think it will sell for? More than 300
I'm afraid it's just a lot more! As you said, I am the chairman of the research association, and I will never be mistaken. I came here today to buy this jade pendant from you. (...Reading) Fortunately, you haven't made a move yet, otherwise I would
So I had to find someone else to buy it at a high price."
Master Fan: "Mr. Cheng, even if you want to buy jade and help me at the same time, you already know the bottom price in my heart, so there is no need to pay such a high price, right?...Besides, you haven't seen the thing before, you have just seen it."
Photo, if you say you didn’t do it on purpose, even I can’t believe it.”
Cheng Tianle explained: "Of course I want to see the real thing, but to tell you the truth, it's what I'm looking for! This is not an ordinary jade pendant, but a magic weapon. You also understand what the magic weapon means.
Right? In the eyes of a knowledgeable person, its value is clear, but in the hands of a layman, it has no other use."
Master Fan took a breath and said: "I almost forgot, someone outside called you a master. It seems that that thing is really exquisite. I can't understand it in my hands... Lele, you are such a good person, no
Protect me."
Cheng Tianle laughed again: "Master Fan, why am I asking you to do this? If you are willing to give me some face, then sell it to me. This jade pendant is just a handicraft to others, but it is very important to me."
Master Fan let out a long breath and said, "I understand! But I'm embarrassed to ask you to pay so much. I can make it cheaper."
Cheng Tianle said angrily and funny: "I've never seen you bargaining like this. Do you still want to go on? I feel very embarrassed for taking away your family heirloom. I can't make you regret it no matter what."
Master Fan said awkwardly: "I'm not a greedy person. Things are worth whatever they are worth. It's impossible for you, Mr. Cheng, to be the only one who knows the goods. Many people have seen them. But the price you mentioned and the price at the counter
It is true that the selling prices here will vary a lot, but I don’t open a counter in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. It turns out that this thing is useful to you. It’s not just for collection. In fact, if you don’t need money,
At other times, you can take it temporarily..."
Cheng Tianle waved his hand and said: "Okay. Just don't say anything. While you still have some time when you're not busy in the afternoon, take a taxi to your house to see the jade pendant."
The two of them went downstairs and went directly to Master Fan's house. Master Fan's wife happened to be at home. Seeing Cheng Tianle coming, she quickly brought out some snacks for him to try, while Master Fan went to the back room and brought a jade pendant wrapped in velvet. Cheng Tianle didn't need to get started.
, when his spiritual consciousness scanned it, he immediately knew that it was what he was looking for. This object can be integrated with the body and mind and activated by the method of controlling a weapon. It is indeed a magic weapon, and its magical properties are very special.
With the induction of the soul, the bamboo engraved on the jade pendant seems to be alive and growing, while the cloud pattern engraved on the other side is also dynamic, as if it was frozen in an instant while fluttering. The magical function of this thing should be to summon
If there is some kind of spiritual guidance in the outside world, if it is a key to open the cave, this feeling is absolutely correct.
Cheng Tianle took the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it again. However, he felt an aura that made him uncomfortable, as if he was dealing with someone he didn't like in his heart. This was not the magical effect of the magic weapon nor the physical properties of the jade itself.
, many utensils will retain various auras of their former owners. Including the various temperaments given to the utensils when playing with them, this is what Cheng Tianle sensed.
Of course, he also sensed the aura left by Master Fan on the jade pendant, because this was Master Fan's toy since he was a child. It was very familiar to him and made him feel kind and warm. However, the jade pendant had more than one owner, Master Fan's father.
Cheng Tianle didn't know what kind of person his grandfather was, nor did he know who left it behind, but there was no need to pursue this kind of question, as long as he could find this thing.
Master Fan’s wife heard that Cheng Tianle came to buy a jade pendant and paid such a high price that he almost knocked over the tea cup when he poured water. Then he wanted to stay with Mr. Cheng for dinner and asked Master Fan to call him.
The hotel asked for leave. Master Fan also felt that this should be the case, so he called immediately. Cheng Tianle stayed for dinner without being polite.
At the dinner table, he drank some wine with Master Fan. The chef was very emotional and talked about many topics. Most of them were about his son. His wife was concerned about how to spend the three million he received, and gave them to the two of them.
While pouring the wine, he said: "Old Fan, my boy
My wife has taken a fancy to a pretty good house in Shanghai, which is quite close to the subway station. It costs about 2.6 million yuan, so she called me and told me about it. Later, she thought it was too expensive, so she went to see another house.
For a house, the minimum my wife can fancy is 2 million.
Now that I have money, I might as well buy that 2.6 million house. The one-time payment will save me from having to repay the bank debt every month. Add in the money for decoration, wedding, and a car, and it will be almost enough.
...Mr. Cheng, the price you gave is really accurate. Did you understand my family’s situation and settle it long ago?”
Master Fan's expression didn't agree with his wife's proposal, but he couldn't say much in front of Cheng Tianle. Cheng Tianle saw it, so he asked specifically: "Master Fan, if you don't know that this jade pendant is so valuable, why?
Sell it at the price you expected, what was your original plan?"
Master Fan replied while drinking: "My original thought was that if I could sell it for five or six hundred thousand, I would be thankful. With a little savings on hand, I can make a down payment for my son and hold a wedding. I don't have to leave.
I can still work in a restaurant in Suzhou, and my current income is pretty good. My children have difficulty paying off their mortgages. I can occasionally help them, but they mainly have to rely on themselves."
But my wife interjected: "It's hard to find a job now with a master's degree, and the starting salary is not high. My Xiaofan is so good at studies, he just wants to study for a doctorate! If he studies for a doctorate, he won't have much income.
My daughter-in-law works outside alone, and they have to pay off the mortgage. Life must be tense, and there may be conflicts."
Cheng Tianle smiled half-heartedly and said, "How is your Xiaofan usually doing?"
This question was very vague, but the old couple became interested and started talking non-stop. They were obviously very proud and sometimes mixed with emotion and worry. A family of chefs and ordinary workers has such a son, which is certainly something to be proud of.
.But in the past two years, when Xiaofan called his parents or came home during the holidays, what he said made them a little worried. Because Xiaofan was very cynical, maybe it was due to the issue of falling in love and getting married, and he had too much dissatisfaction in his heart.
For example, his grades are so good, he has studied for so many years, and his academic qualifications are so high, but he is not valued by the society. Even if he goes out to work, he cannot meet the expected salary. Xiaofan often complains and does not want to stay in this kind of place.
After going down, he couldn't realize the value of life here. He wanted to study in the United States. But Lao Fan could never afford to study abroad, so Xiao Fan just sighed.
Hearing this, Cheng Tianle interrupted the old couple and said: "I can't say much to the two elders, but can I say a few words to your Xiaofan? There are some things that we can't change for the time being.
But there are some things we should do now. I know what your Xiaofan is complaining about, but it seems like no one owes him anything?
Of course it is a good thing that he has good grades in studies, but it is also necessary to study hard. He is not studying for others. In these years, he has not done any work or earned a penny, but he has received such a good education.
That was his gain. But you can't think that you are great because you haven't done anything yet, so you think that all the conditions should be prepared for him.
I think I went abroad to study back then, and I was very ignorant at the time. I couldn't study as well as your Xiaofan, and I wasted a lot of money at home. Over the years, I gradually understood that it wasn't anyone who owed me, but everyone.
I owe my parents all the savings they have earned from working all their lives. The more I think about it now, the more ashamed I feel. Why should I reach out and ask for this? Before I left Europe, I defrauded my classmates of 5,000 euros and went to the red light district.
Master Fan, everyone can understand that you are good to your son. But you also have to think about it, why should a person not work hard to get what he wants? If he is such a person, he himself
What is the meaning and use of its existence? It is of no use to the country, family or people! I am not talking about your Xiaofan, I am just talking about the truth of the matter.
He has never held any job, nor has he earned a penny, but he is not incompetent. If you follow your original idea of selling the jade pendant and the house in Suzhou and buying them a house in Shanghai, that would be too much.
You can! You can let him try it out for a few years, and you can help as much as you can... Lao Fan, I want to ask you a question. If you were in this situation, I hope you would
Did dad do that?"
Master Fan drank a little too much and was stunned before replying: "I got married after working for five years. I lived with Xiaofan's mother in the work dormitory and got a house later... If it were me,
I definitely can’t let my dad do that. How can he give me all his savings and even sell the house?”
Cheng Tianle smiled and said: "That's right! You wouldn't be such a person yourself. You have trained Xiaofan for so many years, and you don't want to train him into the kind of person you don't want to be, right?"
Master Fan slapped the table and said with a blush: "Yes, why didn't I understand this? Now I have three million, which was exchanged for the heirloom left by my grandfather, but I have to do what I have to do. Just do it.
According to the original plan, I would give them a down payment and a sum of money for the wedding. I am still working at Menghu Meiwa Hotel, and I will have no problem working with my body for another ten years. If they have difficulties, I will help them from time to time.
