Chapter 1413 Rejection. Continued
It's not just the anger, but the shameful mood that makes people unable to let go easily.
"How do you know?"
Mr. Zhou was surprised by Xiao Xiao's keenness.
"Guess."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"As expected, he is a top student at Yanda."
Mr. Zhou sighed with emotion, "You are just smart."
"That's right."
Mr. Zhou nodded, "That wooden carved screen was indeed given as a gift."
"And-"
"It was given as a birthday present."
"The gift...was from his father."
The old man reached out and rubbed his forehead.
"Mr. Wang is the customer who bought the wooden screen. His father celebrates his 80th birthday."
"Although the old man is very old, he is in good spirits. His favorite animal is the tiger."
"So Mr. Wang took a fancy to Zhou Zhou's screen at a glance and bought it directly at a high price."
"The result..."
Mr. Zhou paused for a moment before speaking with some difficulty, "At the banquet, someone pointed out that the wood carving screen he gave was not the work of a Qing Dynasty master at all, but a fake."
"Said he was cheated."
"The speaker is Mr. Wang's younger brother."
Mr. Zhou let out a long sigh again. Why did this child Zhou Zhou have such bad luck happen to him?
How many antique sellers don’t believe what they say?
And who is not talking about it in an extravagant manner, as if everything in his hand is a rare treasure?
But among so many people, only a few do somersaults.
For example, he first worked as a waiter in another antique store, and then opened his own antique store. It's not that he hasn't stumbled over the years, but it's really hard for a kid like Zhou Zhou to stumble so much this time. No.
How many years has this kid been in the industry?
Really no luck at all.
"You know it too."
"The trouble in a big family."
Mr. Zhou shook his head, "Brothers are at odds with each other and set themselves against each other."
"Mr. Wang made a big fool of himself at the banquet."
"It happened to be at such an important banquet as his father's 80th birthday."
"Mr. Wang's father is not happy, and he is also a little dissatisfied with Mr. Wang."
"...This is a very serious problem in a big family."
Therefore, the person he had a relationship with told him that the other person was already very good-tempered when he found out that he just wanted to give Zhou Zhou a meal and vent his anger.
Otherwise, if someone with a bad temper would give him any multiple-choice questions, why would he?
I want money directly, and I also want to beat people up.
That's really ruthless means.
However, the old man could not accept this statement.
He did not say these words.
Of course, he thought, given how smart the kid Xiaoxiao was, he would have understood even if he didn't say anything.
"The person I contacted said that unless I can find Mr. Wang's father to help talk about this matter, it will be useless to talk to anyone."
"Mr. Wang has been holding back his anger and just wants to find someone to vent his anger on."
"That person said that Mr. Wang's goal is not money."
"It's just a fake. It's nothing to Mr. Wang. To put it bluntly, it's not like Mr. Wang has never bought fakes before."
“That’s why we said a price that we couldn’t possibly get.”
"He just wants to beat people up."
Mr. Zhou's tone was angry, "Zhou Zhou just hit the gun."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
There seems to be some problem with Mr. Zhou’s logic?
"The reason why Mr. Wang is so angry is because Zhou Mingbao sold his fake screen and made a big fool of himself at his father's birthday party."
Grandpa Mu’s craftsmanship is very good.
But for someone who wants to buy a work by a Qing Dynasty woodcarving master, no matter how good it is, it is a modern work, not an antique.
It is even less comparable to the heritage and value of antiques.
That is a fake, a fake.
... Mr. Zhou’s face twitched.
Why does this kid speak so straightforwardly?
He thought this child was smart before, but now he thought, could this child be stupid because of reading?
"Haha."
Zhou Laogan laughed twice.
"Xiao Xiao, Grandpa Zhou's last hope lies with you."
"You must help Grandpa Zhou."
Xiao Xiao wanted to laugh a little.
The corners of his mouth actually turned up slightly.
"Grandpa Zhou."
Xiao Xiao's tone was unhurried, "You just said that unless Mr. Wang's father comes to tell Mr. Wang personally, things will not turn around, otherwise it will be useless for anyone else to say it."
< br>
"Then why do you still come to me?"
Xiao Xiao didn't quite understand the old man's thoughts.
"I don't even know that Mr. Wang."
"You don't think that as long as I go, I can change Mr. Wang's mind?"
……
Mr. Zhou opened his mouth.
I was speechless for a moment.
He actually didn't think too much.
The deadline is approaching.
He did all the hard work he needed to do, but to no avail.
His wife and son would just look at him and ask what to do?
What to do, what to do...how does he know what to do? !
Just when he was irritated, he suddenly remembered that he had heard some rumors about Lao Mu's son two days ago, or was it three days ago? He couldn't remember clearly. Anyway, he went to Xiao's Tea House to seek help that day.
The other party has yet to give him any feedback.
His eyes lit up slightly.
At that time, Xiao Xiao became the only hope and the last straw in his heart.
He didn't think about what Xiao Xiao would do, or how a child he knew so well could help him?
He just thought that there was someone who might be able to help him who hadn't replied to him yet.
He is going to find this person.
No matter how slim the possibility was, he would try it.
……
"But Lao Mu's son..."
Mr. Zhou's only basis was what he accidentally heard from others about Lao Mumu's son.
"You don't know the other person either, right?"
Mr. Zhou's mind was spinning very quickly, "But you still helped Lao Mu's son and Xiaomu solve the problem."
"Isn't it?"
"Xiao Xiao, Grandpa Zhou won't let your help go in vain."
"As long as-"
"Grandpa Zhou."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "There is one thing you may not realize."
"Mutansong is just a target of the other party."
"Losing a target is not a big deal to the other party."
"So, if this goal becomes a little difficult, he doesn't mind giving up."
"Otherwise, what you pay is not proportional to what you get."
"Not worth it."
Xiao Xiao spoke vaguely, but he thought the old man understood the meaning.
"However, Zhou Mingbao is Mr. Wang's only target."
"Do you know how difficult it is to make someone give up their only goal?"
"As you said before, probably only Mr. Wang's father can do this."
"Yes, but."
Mr. Zhou opened his mouth anxiously, wanting to refute, defend, or continue to say something.
But he still couldn't form a complete sentence.
