"Such a sharp tongue!"
Murmuring coldly to himself, Zhou Lei looked at Xiaobei and said, "Master Xiaobei, actually what youâre saying now is a bit exaggerated. In the antique business, those who help appraise antiques often make mistakes. My junior will definitely learn from this in the future. So in such cases, it absolutely wonât happen again!"
Zhou Lei knew that in the antique industry, the consequences of making mistakes were severe...
Therefore, he must now present this misjudgment as an accident. Otherwise, not only would his junior Zhou Dachuan be unable to continue as a master, but even just surviving in this field would become difficult.
Upon hearing Zhou Leiâs confident assurance, Xiaobei squinted his eyes, "Letâs hope so! Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing."
After Xiaobei continued to mock them, Zhou Lei quickly changed the subject, "Master Xiaobei, letâs not talk about that. Today, the reason my junior and I came here is to invite you to an event. A very excellent event!"
"Here it comes!"
As Zhou Lei spoke, Zhou Dachuanâs eyes lit up...
He knew that the main event was truly here!
"Not interested!"
Xiaobei knew they wanted to harm him, so he directly refused their invitation, thus not giving them a chance.
"Shit!"
Hearing Xiaobeiâs decisive refusal, Zhou Lei felt like a thousand grass mud horses were galloping wildly in his heart.
He truly did not expect Xiaobei to refuse so decisively.
In his view, he and his brother had come here to apologize,
So, Xiaobei should have turned the page and talked things over with them.
As a result, Xiaobei refused to play by the rules and directly rejected him.
This made all the words he wanted to say completely unspeakable.
Zhou Dachuan was also dumbfounded...
He also didnât expect Xiaobei to refuse so decisively!
Upon hearing Xiaobeiâs refusal, Manager Tai understood Xiaobeiâs thoughts...
Knowing it was his cue to speak, he stepped forward calmly and said indifferently, "Master Xiaobei was very clear before, so you two should leave."
Realizing they were being asked to leave, their expressions were quite unpleasant!
Earlier, they had been pretending to be subservient, hoping to gain Xiaobeiâs favor and then lure him into the trap theyâd set.
But they didnât succeed...
Meaning all their previous efforts were in vain!
"Damn it, damn it!"
Zhou Dachuan muttered to himself...
Soon, he was ready to start hysterically shouting but saw his brother Zhou Lei waving his hand.
"Master Xiaobei, we really do have a good deal to discuss this time. Isnât it a bit unkind of you to not let us say anything now?"
Amused by their slightly annoyed expressions, Xiaobei laughed, "Unkind? Alright! Since thatâs the case, Iâll listen to what you have to say, but if Iâm not interested, you still have to leave, okay?"
"Of course!"
After quickly responding, he glanced at his junior, then looked at Xiaobei and earnestly asked, "Master Xiaobei, you understand antiques very well, so youâve probably heard of Gambling Stone, right?"
Upon hearing his inquiry, Xiaobeiâs expression became somewhat peculiar...
"Could it be that they and Manager Tai are looking for me for the same thing?"
Mumbling softly, he concealed his odd expression and said plainly, "Yes, Iâve heard about it before; itâs about jade raw stones!"
Xiaobei really had heard of Gambling Stone before!
It was extremely cruel!
Winning means paradise, losing really is a step into Hell.
Seeing Xiaobei nod, Zhou Lei continued, "Exactly, there is an upcoming trade fair here. There will definitely be all kinds of jade raw stones. Are you interested in checking it out?"
"So the trap is here!"
Xiaobei muttered indifferently to himself, and soon he looked at Zhou Lei, saying, "That stuff doesnât suit me, so Iâll pass."
"Master Xiaobei, donât underestimate yourself. Your skills are outstanding! Think about it, as long as you catch a slip, weâre talking not just hundreds of thousands, millions, but tens of millions! Arenât you tempted?"
"Iâm really not tempted!"
Xiaobei once again murmured to himself!
For others, tens of millions are a lot, but for Xiaobei, itâs just the way it is!
So honestly, Xiaobei wasnât particularly concerned!
However, Xiaobei wanted to see what they were plotting, so he deliberately acted tempted.
...
"These two losers are doomed!"
Seeing Xiaobeiâs deliberately tempted demeanor, Manager Tai shook his head vigorously.
He knew they obviously had some scheme!
But he knew the scheme wouldnât succeed...
So now, he could confidently conclude they were really doomed...
No helping it!
Because they were trying to deal with Xiaobei...
He could immediately tell Xiaobei was faking being tempted.
Because he knew Xiaobei very well and knew that tens of millions couldnât really concern Xiaobei.
Seeing Xiaobei seemingly really tempted, he excitedly rubbed his hands and quickly took advantage, "Master Xiaobei, before, you appraised those two items, but it didnât yield you any fortune. But at the fair, if you can identify two truly great stones, the fortune you gain will definitely be over a billion!"
"Is this true?"
Xiaobeiâs eyes appeared rather vacant...
"This idiot took the bait!"
Seeing Xiaobeiâs feverish look, Zhou Lei and Zhou Dachuan exchanged a glance...
They knew Xiaobei had really bitten!
"Of course, itâs true. We wouldnât lie to you! Now, are you interested in going with us?"
"Of course, Iâm interested! But for such a top event, there should be an invite or something, right? I donât have one!"
"Master Xiaobei, leave this to me. As long as you follow us, you can definitely go!"
"Alright, then you guys go downstairs first and wait for me. Iâll change my clothes and we can head off!"
"Good! Weâll go out first!"
After saying this, the two quickly left...
After they exited, Manager Tai quickly shut the door...
As the door shut, both Manager Tai and those who left spoke in unison!
"Idiot!"
At this moment, both Manager Tai and them considered each other idiots!
Because they all believed their plan succeeded...
...
Turning his head to glance at Xiaobei, Manager Tai spoke, "Master Xiaobei, these two idiots obviously concocted another plan to harm you, but specifically what is it?"
With a cold smile, Xiaobei spoke confidently, "I suspect they want me to bid more on stones! You know, those jade raw stones are pricey and easy to buy fakes!"
"Is that so?"
Squinting with some understanding, he quickly spoke to Xiaobei, "Master Xiaobei, when we go to participate, observe more and act less, so you wonât fall into their trap!"
"Donât worry, I wonât fall into their trap, but I can throw them in there, making sure they never climb out!"
Having said this, Xiaobei picked up his jacket and put it on again...
