Chapter 238: Lao Li, thank you for giving it to me.

At this moment, I happened to see the second uncle humming a little tune.

I haven't seen Liu Haizhong for a while, and I think he has really changed a lot.

He was wearing a suit and had a pager on his waist.

It is very fashionable in this era.

A pair of shiny black leather shoes, polished to a shine.

I was afraid that someone didn’t know it was a Crocodile brand.

And the suit on his body.

It should be that Pierre Cardin something.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was full of energy and vigor.

After seeing Li Jiandong, Liu Haizhong also felt proud: "Old Li."

"Where are you going?"

Li Jiandong glanced at Liu Haizhong with a smile.

"I say, Uncle, you have upgraded your weapon to a new one."

"Where are you planning to go to discuss business?" Li Jiandong said.

"What business are you talking about? I've been collecting calligraphy and paintings recently."

"If you have any good antiques, you can come to me. I'll do this."

"Okay, Uncle Er, I will introduce you to someone suitable."

Li Jiandong said lightly.

After seeing Liu Haizhong off, Li Jiandong finished washing up and waited for Fang Ru to pick him up.

Yesterday I promised Fang Ru that I would help his friend appreciate some antiques.

Just as I was thinking about it, Fang Ru came.

"Mr. Li, are you ready? I'm here to pick you up. I'll leave you here today."

Fang Ru was particularly polite. After all, she had no idea how capable Li Jiandong was.

"We're ready, let's go."

Li Jiandong was quite polite towards Fang Ru.

Came to a company ticket, what is a trading company.

"Miss Fang, aren't you going to take me to appreciate antiques? Why are you coming to the trading company?"

Li Jiandong suddenly felt confused.

Although I am very capable, I am unwilling to deal with troublesome things.

"Mr. Li, don't worry too much. My friend is the person in charge of this company, so we arranged to meet here."

Fang Ru said with a faint smile.

Li Jiandong nodded, said nothing more, and followed Fangru in.

Seeing the security guard being so respectful to Fangru, I knew that Fangru had an extraordinary position in this company.

It is impossible that he is just a friend of the boss. But this has nothing to do with Li Jiandong. For him, he only cares about what he should do.

"Be careful, this is a treasure I found with great difficulty, don't break it."

I heard the voice before I saw the person, but why does this voice sound so familiar?
Li Jiandong felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Oh, I was just looking at it, and I could actually break it. But such a small thing is worth two hundred thousand, right?"

A younger voice obviously didn't believe that this thing could be so valuable.

"You idiot, what do you know? This thing was handed down from the Qing Dynasty. Of course, be careful not to break it before you do this."

Another voice sounded, and the two people seemed to treasure something from the Qing Dynasty.

Li Jiandong was also very curious, what on earth could make the people inside so precious?

"Uncle Liu, you're here. You're here quite early." Fang Ru said with a smile as she brought Li Jiandong into the office.

When Liu Haizhong heard that his boss or subordinate was here, he smiled flatteringly and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Fang Ru.

Because Liu Haizhong's attention was all on Fang Ru and he didn't see Li Jiandong at all.

It was Liu Guangyuan who saw Li Jiandong.

"Uncle Li, why are you here too?"

Liu Guangyuan still respected Li Jiandong very much and called him Uncle Li all the time. Li Jiandong nodded and smiled.

"So it's you and your son. I was wondering why the voices sounded so familiar just now."

Li Jiandong said half-jokingly.

"Do you know?"

Fang Ru asked with a smile.

"Miss Fang is such a smart person, doesn't she know that we know each other?"

Li Jiandong remained calm and asked without any emotion.

It is true that Li Jiandong and Liu Haizhong live in the same place, so of course they know each other. Fang Ru is so smart, how could she not know that they know each other?
It was nothing more than Fang Ru doing it on purpose. She wanted to test her own background and also test Liu Haizhong's background. However, it didn't matter to her that she hated herself for all this.

Because Li Jiandong now doesn't need to rely on anyone, as long as he is happy
"Oh, Mr. Li, you see, I overlooked this point."

Fang Ru suddenly realized and hurried to explain. After all, she couldn't offend Li Jiandong now.

Li Jiandong smiled, after all, he didn't want to expose Fang Ru.

It was Liu Haizhong who started talking.

"Hey, Lao Li, why are you here?"

Liu Haizhong was very surprised to see Li Jiandong, and thought that Li Jiandong wanted to do antique business with Fangru just like him.

"You are not following me, are you jealous of my business and want to get involved?"

All Liu Haizhong could think of was that Li Jiandong was trying to steal his business.
Li Jiandong shook his head helplessly. This guy was really amazing. Did he need to compete with him for business?
"You said we are all neighbors. If you have any antiques, just give them to me. Why do you have to trade them yourself?"

Seeing that Li Jiandong didn't say anything, Liu Haizhong thought that Li Jiandong agreed with his guess.

"Boss Fang, you don't know that Old Li is a cunning man. He is the most astute person in our hospital. You should be careful when doing business with him."

Liu Haizhong began to slander Li Jiandong.

This is Liu Haizhong's true nature, and Li Jiandong simply doesn't bother to argue with him.

"Dad, we live in the same courtyard, how can you say that about Uncle Li?"

Liu Guangyuan is more sensible.

"Uncle Li, my father is a very harsh talker. Don't take it personally." Liu Guangyuan said with a smile.

Liu Guangyuan always thought that Li Jiandong was the best person, and even when he was a child he thought how nice it would be if he were Li Jiandong's son.

You wouldn't be so unhappy.

Fang Ru shook her head helplessly. If Liu Haizhong had not been able to help her find some antiques, she would have fallen out with him long ago.

He is really good for nothing and has a bad character, but his son is not bad.

"Okay, stop arguing. I invited Mr. Li to help us look at things."

"If you have anything good, bring it out so we can all take a look together."

Fangru frowned, not very satisfied with Liu Haizhong's performance today.

Liu Haizhong finally shut up and dared not say more.

But I was still confused. When did Li Jiandong become an expert in antiques? How come I didn't know about it?

"Dad, take it out quickly."

Liu Guangyuan became very excited when he thought that the jade pendant could be sold for two hundred thousand.

Although Liu Haizhong spent 100,000 yuan to buy it, he made an extra 100,000 yuan by reselling it, which made Liu Guangyuan's eyes light up.

Liu Haizhong thought about it and took out his treasure.

"Be the boss, please take a look."

Liu Haizhong bypassed Li Jiandong and directly gave Fangru his small jade pendant.

Fangru was also amazed when she saw the transparent jade pendant. It was definitely a high-quality product.

Li Jiandong glanced at the jade pendant. It was indeed top-grade Hetian jade, but it was hard to say whether it was from the Qing Dynasty.

At this time Fangru handed the jade pendant to Li Jiandong.

"Mr. Li, could you please help me check if it is from the Qing Dynasty?"

Since Li Jiandong had promised Fangru, he would naturally help.

But Liu Haizhong is a villain.

"No, Lao Li, be careful not to break it. This is worth two hundred thousand."

Although he knew that Li Jiandong was rich, Liu Haizhong still said this deliberately because he felt that Li Jiandong was good at his business.

If they can live in peace and do their own things, he and Li Jiandong can be said to keep to themselves.

But now Li Jiandong is arguing with me

Fangru became unhappy when she heard that.

"Liu Haizhong, I invited Mr. Li here, so please be polite."

Liu Guangyuan also pulled Liu Haizhong's clothes to signal Liu Haizhong not to talk.

Liu Guangyuan may not be good at other things, but he does have good vision.

Fangru particularly values ​​​​Li Jiandong, and they, father and son, cannot offend Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong took a look and found that the jade pendant did look like it was unearthed in the Qing Dynasty.

But I don't know why, I always feel like something is wrong
Li Jiandong frowned and thought, not knowing how to explain.

At this time, the system sounded
"This jade pendant is fake, the system task has been activated."

"First, reveal that the jade pendant in Liu Hai is fake, and you can get 100 points of jade identification experience."

"Second, don't meddle in other people's business. Tell Fangru that you are too blind to see it. There will be no reward."

"Third, tell Fangru that the jade pendant is real, and deduct 100 points of jade pendant identification experience."

There was no need to ask this kind of multiple-choice question. Li Jiandong naturally chose the first one.

After selecting the first one with his mind, Li Jiandong frowned slightly.

"This jade pendant is truly a masterpiece among masterpieces."

Liu Haixin was delighted. This Li Jiandong was really good at pretending. Of course, what he took was the finest jade pendant.

This does not need to be verified at all. Why is Li Jiandong pretending to be so profound here, as if he is really an expert?

"Of course, I bought this for 100,000 yuan."

Liu Haizhong suddenly realized that his family had let the cat out of the bag, and wondered how he would ask Fangru for money later.

Just thinking about mocking Li Jiandong, what a disaster!

Li Jiandong looked at Liu Haizhong who was very proud and shook his head.

"This is indeed fine jade, but it is not from the Qing Dynasty. It is a modern product and is not worth a hundred thousand at all."

Li Jiandong's words made Liu Haizhong and his son a little angry.

"Uncle Li, I don't know what your relationship with Boss Fang is, but you can't slander our jade pendant just to help Boss Fang bargain."

"This jade pendant was bought for nearly 100,000 yuan."

Liu Guangyuan was also a little unhappy. But Li Jiandong knew that Liu Guangyuan didn't understand this at all.

"Guangyuan, you should know whether your uncle Li is such a person or not."

Li Jiandong looked into Liu Guangyuan's eyes and said this, making Liu Guangyuan realize that this jade pendant might really be fake.

"Uncle Li, I believe you, but how do you know this jade pendant is fake?"

Having said that, Liu Guangyuan is still diligent and studious.

"Come and see, the fish's eyes are so realistic, it's obviously the latest technology."

Li Jiandong put the jade pendant on the table and explained it to Liu Guangyuan bit by bit.

Liu Guangyuan was confused and didn't understand why. "Maybe it was so exquisite during the Qing Dynasty."

"Guangyuan, you are still young, and you still need to continue learning this knowledge. The eyes of fish in your era were round and not so realistic, but I have to say that this piece of jade is of high quality and is worth 50,000 yuan."

Fifty thousand yuan means Liu Haizhong has to lose money.

"Old Li, you can't do this. How can you harm me? Just based on this workmanship, you say he is contemporary. I don't believe it."

Liu Haizhong was unwilling to believe that he had lost money.

"Lao Li, we don't usually celebrate holidays, why are you hurting me like this?"

There was some tantrum in the bangs.

"Second Uncle, in all these years, when have I ever harmed anyone? This is really fake. You can go find your boss, maybe you can get the money back."

Li Jiandong looked at Liu Haizhong and said.

Only then did Liu Haizhong realize that he had been cheated.

"Mr. Li, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have to pay a hundred thousand."

Fangru said with a smile, although one hundred thousand was nothing to her.

But who would complain about having too much money?
"Mr. Liu, you can take this back first. You must be more careful next time."

Liu Haizhong and his son left unhappily.

In fact, Liu Haizhong understood that since it was fake, Fang Ru would be able to find out even if Li Jiandong was not there.

"These liars actually managed to trick me. It's best not to let me catch them."

Liu Haizhong walked and cursed
Liu Guangyuan was also angry when he saw Liu Haizhong. Although his father could indeed make money, he lost 50,000 yuan in one go.

Maybe in the end I will get nothing and my father will have to pay for everything.

Li Jiandong had dinner with Fangru and then returned to the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong's house is not as lively today as it was yesterday.

The scene of loving father and filial son disappeared, and everyone was silent.

Li Jiandong shook his head helplessly. This family was really hypocritical.

We were all happy yesterday, but everything changed because of the 50,000 yuan.

Liu Haizhong was not willing to be cheated, and spent the following days wandering around various antique markets.

I want to find the scammer and get my money back.

"Sister, this jade bracelet of mine was passed down from my great-grandmother. It is from the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for someone in my family being sick, I would never sell it."

A man said to an old woman with difficulty.

"Hey, how much are you selling it for?"

"I'll sell it to you for five hundred."

The man continued, wanting to act quickly.

At this time, several people began to talk.

"Young man, let me see."

An old man pretends to know a lot.

"Oh my, this thing is worth a hundred thousand dollars once it's sold. Whoever buys it will make a fortune."

Once this person took the lead, several people began to raise the price.

"I'll pay one thousand, young man, sell it to me."

"I'll pay three thousand."

"I'll pay five thousand."

"I'll give you ten thousand."

The older sister just now became anxious when she heard this. This bracelet is really beautiful and she likes it too, most importantly, it is valuable.

"No, young man, you promised me first, you can't change your mind, five hundred, I will pay you right away."

The woman took out five hundred and was about to take the bracelet away. At this time, Liu Hai appeared

Isn’t this the guy who cheated me last time?

"You liar, you cheated me out of a hundred thousand dollars. I'm going to send you to the police station."

As soon as the sound of Liu Haizhong was heard, the young man snatched five hundred yuan from the woman and ran away.

The woman stood there stupidly, not knowing what was happening.

By the time Liu Haizhong reacted, they had already run away, chasing each other.

Liu Haizhong, who is already old, is determined to get the 50,000 yuan and pursues the young man relentlessly.

Li Jiandong was also free today and wanted to go to the antique market to have a look, and he happened to run into Liu Haizhong catching a scammer.

"Lao Li, hurry up...hurry up...catch...the liar"

Liu Haizhong panted and called Li Jiandong for help, but Li Jiandong would not care about such trivial matters.

However, the system task is enabled.

"Help Liu Haizhong catch the liar, and increase your health and strength by 1,000."

How could Li Jiandong refuse such a generous reward?

So without hesitation, I joined the team to catch the scammers.

With one leap, he caught the liar.

"Brother, I have no grudge against you, why are you helping them arrest me?"

A few people originally thought that Liu Haizhong would never be able to catch up with them at such an old age.

But the appearance of Li Jiandong blocked their way.

"What I hate most in my life is deception, so I'm sorry I have to help those in need."

What Li Jiandong said was quite righteous.

"You liar, you are so young, why do you do such a scam? Come with me to the police station and pay the money back."

Liu Haizhong felt much calmer when he saw that the scammer was caught.

Li Jiandong only cared about catching people and didn't care about anything else.

Liu Haizhong was extremely happy because he recovered the 50,000 yuan he had lost.

However, he did not mention a word about Li Jiandong helping him.

Of course, Li Jiandong didn't care about these and never thought about asking Liu Haizhong to thank him.

After the incident was settled, Liu Haizhong was quiet for a few days.

But when it comes to doing business, Liu Haizhong still continues to work hard as always.

A few days later at an auction, Liu Haizhong met Li Jiandong again.

"Old Li, you come too."

Although Liu Haizhong was unhappy, he no longer had the disgust he had for Li Jiandong.

"I heard that there is a pair of jade bracelets unearthed from the late Ming Dynasty today. I want to buy them and give them to my wife."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

He really wanted to give his wife a gift, but he had never seen the jade bracelet before, so he had to see its quality.

Liu Haizhong paused for a moment. Indeed, what he wanted was just the jade bracelet, and he could only afford the jade bracelet.

"Really? Then how about we two old brothers compete?"

Liu Haizhong revealed to Li Jiandong intentionally or unintentionally that he was also interested in the jade bracelet.

Li Jiandong shook his head. As long as he felt he was worthy of his wife, he would be determined to get her.

No matter what, it’s impossible for Liu Haizhong to be richer than me.

"Our first auction item today is a jade pendant from the Qing Dynasty."

The host said calmly.

"The starting price is five hundred, and the bid will increase by five hundred each time."

This jade pendant looks very familiar. It was the jade pendant that Liu Haizhong was cheated of.

It was quickly bought by someone who didn't understand.

This time Li Jiandong did not expose it because there was no reward and he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

After several rounds of auction, it was finally the turn of the pair of jade bracelets.

Li Jiandong is not a reckless man, so he naturally wants to see the quality of the person.

At first glance, it turns out to be a bracelet from the Ming Dynasty, and it shows signs of age.

"This pair of bracelets was left by the last princess of the Ming Dynasty. The starting price is fifty thousand."

After the host finished speaking, everyone started bidding.

"Fifty-one thousand."

"Fifty-two thousand."

"Fifty-five thousand!"

"Sixty thousand."

"Sixty-five thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

Li Jiandong thought it was about right and directly offered a price of 150,000.

Now everyone hesitated.

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

Liu Haizhong also made a bid.

Li Jiandong shook his head. The pair of bracelets were only worth about 200,000 yuan, and there was no possibility of adding more to the 160,000 yuan.

Li Jiandong stopped bidding.

"Once in ."

"One hundred and sixty thousand twice!"

"160,000 three times, deal!"

After hearing the host's decision, Liu Haizhong was very proud.

Although he knew that it was Li Jiandong who gave it to him, he was still very proud of it.

Finally, Li Jiandong bought a pair of jade earrings to give to his wife.

"Lao Li, thank you for giving it to me." (End of this chapter)
