Chapter 114: Counterfeit Goods
For today's appointment, Wu Yong can be said to have spared no effort.
That day he found out from a note on Bai Wuxia's desk that she was going to the antique market to buy birthday gifts, and thus caught this opportunity to be with his crush.
Also remembered the day of handling the case on the mountain, guessing that Bai Wumo likes men with a small white face type, so he changed into a more small white face-like dress, his face was not white enough, and he applied his mother's whitening skin care products. A thorough makeover.
What's more important is that if I can find a good gift for Bai Wuxia today, and also win the favor of her "future father-in-law", then it would be a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.
At this moment, Wu Yong's heart is filled with joy and happiness. He has even begun to regard Bai Wuchan's father as his future father-in-law.
Bai Wu realized that Wu Yong was intentionally getting close to him, raised his eyes, and saw that Wu Yong was giving him a sentimental gaze, paired with the makeup and red headscarf, he suddenly felt a wave of nausea, immediately turned his face away, and distanced himself from the other person with a look of disgust.
She didn't want her actions, which were meant for Qin Lang, to be misunderstood by Wu Yong or taken advantage of.
Wu Yong thought Bai Wuchou was shy and reserved, and also knew that a hasty meal would not be satisfying, so he said: "Bai Wuchou, let's go watch a movie together after we finish buying gifts."
He took advantage of the opportunity to invite her out and also gave Bai Wuxia a chance to save face.
He was actually very disdainful. Although Bai Wuxiao was a stunning beauty, she had been played with by Qin Lang and was now a worn-out goods. This kind of goods didn't have the right to be shy or modest in front of him. However, who made Bai Wuxiao's status higher than his? Not looking at the monk but the Buddha, he would first squeeze out the remaining value from her, and then slowly settle this account later.
"You two are quite the elegant pair!" Qin Lang suddenly sneered from behind them, saying: "It's more fun with a crowd than alone. Whatever activity you're doing, bring me along too. I'm bored stiff by myself anyway."
Wu Yong turned his face and saw that it was actually Qin Lang, this stinky brat. This made his extremely joyful mood suddenly feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, making him feel chilled to the bone.
Another careful look, Qin Lang's change in appearance stunned him!
His hair was black, his skin was ancient bronze, full of sunshine, not only his hair and skin, but also his head, he was 1.8 meters tall, Qin Lang himself was half a head shorter than him, now looking up at him, he had to raise his head to look at Qin Lang.
In his eyes, Qin Lang was like a tender grass, but he didn't look like tender grass at all. He was a charming and extraordinary man, just like Beckham!
This is simply too strange, absolutely impossible. Is this an illusion? Or could it be that this guy isn't Qin Lang at all, but rather Qin Lang's own brother?
"Are you Qin Lang? What are you doing here?" Wu Yong asked with a mix of envy and hatred in his heart, unable to suppress the doubts within.
"It's been a few days and you don't recognize me? It's said that after three days, one should look at each other with new eyes. I really didn't expect that Wu Yong would dress up to be so enchanting, almost dazzling my eyes!" Qin Lang smiled slyly.
Bai Wuchan hadn't even had time to refuse Wu Yong, when he heard Qin Lang's words and couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement, though it was all hidden deep within his heart. His face remained expressionless.
Not to mention Qin Lang, when she saw Wu Yong's outfit today, she also felt very awkward.
Wu Yong's face turned bright red with shame, his carefully groomed and delicate complexion now a stark contrast to the radiant and charming Qin Lang. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Looking at Qin Lang's eyes, he was so ruthless that he wanted to skin him alive, but he didn't dare lose his gentlemanly demeanor in front of Bai Wumo. He could only suppress his anger and drive him away: "Where did you come from? Go back there! There's no business for you here!"
Bai Wuhe glared at Qin Lang and chimed in, "Right! Where did this annoying monkey pop out from? Don't bother with him, I still have to rush off and order a cake after we're done picking out gifts!"
Hmph, it's none of your business!
In private, she scolded Qin Lang as a shameless playboy, a little rascal, and a faceless person.
Even if she felt uncomfortable in her heart, Qin Lang was really standing in front of her at this moment, clearly feeling his changes, and still having some difficulty breathing inside. Until now, she still doubted whether Qin Lang was the real Qin Lang?
She was originally about the same height as Qin Lang, but now she's almost a head taller than him. She has to look up at him, which makes her very uncomfortable. What on earth is going on? Is there really such a magical medicine in this world that can make people change so much in a short period of time, like a complete transformation?!
"Alright, alright, we won't bother with him, we won't bother with annoying people!" Seeing Bai Wuchuang also standing on his side, Wu Yong's face suddenly lit up with a smile. He threw Qin Lang a triumphant look.
It seems this girl is still angry with me!
Qin Lang shook his head in annoyance, although he couldn't bear to watch the two of them being overly intimate. But looking at Bai Wuchang's serious and jealous face, he couldn't bring himself to continue explaining, after all, he had already explained what needed to be explained, why bother clinging to such a misunderstanding and wasting time?
So they decided to mind their own business and not interfere with each other, turned around and left.
"Boss, this ornament is too expensive at 50,000. Sell it to me for 30,000 or I'll leave!" Wu Yong was delighted that Qin Lang was leaving and took the opportunity to renegotiate with the merchant.
Qin Lang turned around and heard the price Wu Yong said, feeling a bit curious. He looked back and his eyes scanned over the agate double dragon ornament in Wu Yong's hand, and he was taken aback. This thing is 30,000? Are you kidding me?
The agate ornament is about ten inches long and wide, with bright colors and a delicate shape. The two dragons playing with the pearl are vivid and lifelike. At first glance, it's clear that it was made by firing and dyeing. If the material isn't glass, then let's just be happy about it, because at least it can still be considered a stone with some appreciative value.
And the price, if it's really pure natural, this size of agate, 3 million can't even buy it. Now Wu Yong has this kind of goods in his hands, and several tens of thousands can make a carload. Even if he sells it for 300, he'll still be making a profit with a sly smile!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, it seems that the antique market is indeed a paradise for big spenders.
"Haha... 30,000, you really know how to haggle!" He couldn't help but mock and praise Wu Yong, giving him a thumbs up.
"Qin Lang, get out of here and mind your own business! Don't come over here causing trouble!" Bai Wuxiao suddenly said sternly.
"I didn't mean to interfere with your business, I just want to ask, did you choose the gift and pay for it?" Qin Lang asked, recalling what Bai Wuchao said earlier about choosing a gift and buying a cake.
"Yes, I let him choose a gift for my father. Are you satisfied now? Can we leave?" Bai Wuxiao replied disdainfully.
Qin Lang furrowed his brow, this fake product that couldn't be any more fake, if Wu Yong wanted to buy it, he wouldn't even have time to laugh.
It can be heard that Bai Wuxia is actually the real scapegoat, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
What's wrong with this girl today? She actually spent so much money and let a fool pick out fake goods for her?
Thinking of this, he kindly reminded: "Keep your eyes bright, don't listen to others' nonsense, and let people question your IQ."
"Hey, young man, what's with your tone?" The vendor selling fake goods heard Qin Lang's words and immediately became displeased.
This sentence is obviously provocative. As the largest beneficiary, Qin Lang's words are unintentionally nakedly smashing the scene.
I think this kid won't be trying to swindle me, will he? If he scares off the buyer, who else can I sell this thing to?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Qin Lang is suspicious. He immediately glared and said: "Don't come here to make trouble, otherwise I'll let you leave with a beating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several nearby stall owners cast their gaze in their direction, each with an unfriendly expression.
These subtle changes did not catch the attention of Bai Wuchan and Wu Yong, but were captured by Qin Lang.
They're in cahoots!
Qin Lang vigilantly glanced around at these people.
He certainly knows that saying something is bad or fake in front of the seller is a taboo in antique trading. So his words were just a veiled criticism, implying that meaning without directly pointing it out.
At this moment, the seller has shown an unpleasant expression, and there is a group of accomplices, who look like they are not good people. If we continue to entangle, it will inevitably lead to a conflict.
Antiques are special commodities, and the buying and selling of antiques is different from other goods. Any item that is transferred will have issues with authenticity and price. Since ancient times, it has been a voluntary transaction between buyer and seller, with authenticity being left to fate.
So, this group of people cannot be concluded as a swindling gang, they may also be fellow practitioners.
There are rules for everything, and once you enter this line of work, you have to follow its rules.
As for whether Bai Wuxia can understand, that's her fate. Moreover, today's situation is special. If he pursues fiercely, he will clash with not only the small vendors and his accomplices but also Wu Yong, this fly.
So Qin Lang didn't plan on pursuing it further. He didn't have the energy to bother with such a troublesome muddy water.
The purpose of this trip was very clear in Qin Lang's mind, so he didn't plan to waste time on unnecessary things.
"You all busy with your own things, I'm just a bystander, I'll leave first." Qin Lang smiled and turned around to leave.
The small vendor saw Qin Lang and immediately packed up, not disappointing his reputation as a clever hero. He gave a sly glance around him, and the people nearby understood the implication, so they stopped boasting and showing off.
"Wait!"
When Qin Lang was about to leave, Bai Wuchuang immediately shouted.
She seemed to understand the meaning of Qin Lang's words and immediately frowned and asked: "Did you find something wrong with this decoration?"
Bai Wu Xi was extremely hesitant at this moment, the decorative piece was a birthday gift for her father, she didn't dare to be slow. She wasn't worried about being cheated out of money, but rather that if she bought a fake, it would hurt her father's interest.
She had planned to come to the antique market alone today, but she didn't know how Wu Yong knew about it and insisted on following her. He also boasted that he was an expert in antiques. She couldn't stand his nagging and was a bit angry with Qin Lang, so she let Wu Yong accompany her.
Even a layman like her could see that Wu Yong's understanding of antiques wasn't as impressive as he had boasted.
So, Qin Lang's words immediately caught her attention.
