Chapter Thirteen 500,000

  Zhao Xueyi smiled and said: "Alright then, let's just say that for now. Don't go back on your word later."

  "Are you still doubting Old Zhu's credibility?"

  Zhu Dafu said and then turned his head to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, be good, 500,000, this Rolex watch let me have it, how about it?"

  Chu Chen was stunned when he heard 500,000. He had known that the jade pendant was valuable, but he hadn't expected it to be worth so much. Not only did it make up for his previous losses, but he also made a profit of 100,000! He had originally planned to work hard for several more years before buying a house, but now he suddenly had enough money to buy one, and he couldn't help but feel like he was dreaming.

  Zhu Dafu saw that Chu Chen didn't respond, and immediately became anxious, saying: "Xiao Chen, is it because you think Uncle Fu's offer is too low? We can negotiate the price."

  Chu Chen heard this and hastily said to Zhu Da Fu: "No, no, I'm surprised that this piece of land is actually so valuable."

  Zhu Dafu heard what Chu Chen said, wiped a handful of cold sweat and said: "Such a fine Zi Gang badge, the jade is good, 500,000 is definitely worth it. To say that Uncle Fu has made a profit, if it's auctioned, this jade badge will definitely not be worth just this price."

  Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Five million is already a lot, and the auction can't be guaranteed."

  "Ha, so Xiao Chen you've agreed to give it to me?" Zhu Da Fu said excitedly.

  "What else is not satisfactory?"

  After all, it's 500,000 yuan. Even if you can get more at an auction, there are still commissions, taxes and other miscellaneous expenses to consider. It's not that the money will increase much, but the trouble will be greatly increased. Chu Chen still feels that putting 500,000 yuan in his pocket is more reassuring.

  Zhu Dafu smiled and said: "Good! Then let's sign the agreement now."

  Wu Shu said with a smile on one side: "I'm telling you, Old Zhu, don't you see what time it is now? Can the bank still be open?"

  Zhao Xueyi also burst out laughing after hearing Wu Shu finish speaking.

  Zhu Dafu awkwardly said: "Well, it can't be helped. We'll just have to wait until tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he still couldn't bear to part with that piece of land and took another look at it.

  Chu Chen said: "Uncle Fu, since you like it so much, take this block of jade back with you today."

  Zhu Dafu was taken aback by her words and immediately regained his composure, saying with a flourish: "Really! Are you so reassured about me, Xiao Chuan?"

  Chu Chen smiled and said: "What's there for me to worry about? We've known each other for so many years, can't I trust you, Uncle Fu?"

  "Xiao Chen, since you put it that way, I, Fu Shu, won't be overly polite either. However, we still need to leave a written record; otherwise, it wouldn't be in line with the rules."

  After finishing, Zhu Dafu found a piece of paper, wrote down the evidence and handed it over to Chu Chen. Then he smiled with joy, picked up the Zigan card, and gently stroked it, as if it were his own wife in his hands.

  Everyone who saw Zhu Dafu's appearance couldn't help but smile, and it also reminded Chu Chen of the scene when he first got that Tang Sancai, and how similar it was to Uncle Fu's current appearance.

  "Wu Shu pointed at the gold bars on the table and asked: 'Xiao Chuan, what are you planning to do with these two gold bars?'"

  Chu Chen held the gold bars in his hand and said, "These two gold bars are quite exquisite, I plan to keep them for myself as a memento."

  Seeing this, Zhao Xueyi yawned and said, "Alright, it's getting late, let's disperse."

  Everyone looked at each other and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock. After rushing on the road all day, they were also very tired, so they bid farewell one after another.

  Before leaving, Wu Shu said to Chu Chen: "This Buddha statue will be placed here first, I plan to take it to show Liu Lao and see if we can restore this technique, which is also the wealth left by our ancestors."

  "It's okay, no problem."

  Chu Chen replied and then puffed up his face: "Uncle Wu, when can I also go pay my respects to Old Liu? I really admire him."

  Wu Shu laughed and said: "Alright, this time I'll go and test the waters with Old Liu, but if you want to see Old Liu, you have to pass his test first!"

  "Ah! So Liu Lao still has a test for me, is it difficult?"

  Wu Shu said: "You think it's easy to see Liu Lao, as for whether it's difficult or not, it depends on Liu Lao's intentions. The questions are all set by him, but they should be within the scope of antique appraisal."

  Wu Shu saw Chu Chen let out a sigh of relief and shook his head, thinking to himself that the question posed by Liu Lao wouldn't be so easy. But it's good for young people to struggle a bit; after all, it's better than suffering real losses.

  But if he knew Chu Chen had special abilities, maybe he wouldn't think that way.

  Chu Chen returned home, took out the gold bar and looked at it left and right, couldn't help but cheer and jump for joy. He didn't expect to get rich so easily, it was really unthinkable. In his excitement, he couldn't help but kiss his left hand fiercely.

  After taking a bath, Chu Chen jumped onto the bed and snuggled into its softness, letting out a comfortable sigh. His tired body from a day of running around was relieved in an instant.

  Chu Chen turned over, hugged his head with both hands, and thought about the plan for now. First of all, he thought about how to spend these five million yuan, or should he buy a house as he had previously thought? However, in an instant, he ruled out this idea.

  Now that you have supernatural powers, are you still worried about not making money? Think about it, today it was so easy to make 500,000, then what's a million, ten million, or even a hundred million to yourself?

  It's better to wait for some time and buy a bigger house, maybe even an affordable villa or the quadrangle courtyard you've always dreamed of. However, quadrangle courtyards cost hundreds of millions, so it's hard to say whether one would be willing to spend that much money on it.

  Looking back, Chu Chen thought about the problem of heterogeneity again. This heterogeneity is good in every way, but it can only absorb that breath three times a day, which is really too inconvenient. Although people value contentment, they should also have some prospects for the future, shouldn't they?

  What is that aura after all, and why isn't it in the gold bar? Could it be that this gold bar is fake? This shouldn't be possible, Wu Shu and the others wouldn't lack even this bit of discernment. Maybe there's a crucial point somewhere that I haven't thought of.

  Moreover, that breath should be beneficial to the body, not only changing one's memory, but also making a breakthrough in fist techniques, and feeling that one's body has become much stronger. That breath seems like a panacea, so let's call it spiritual energy.

  I don't know how long the spiritual energy can be absorbed, what kind of changes it will bring to my body, and whether it will increase the number of times I can use my special abilities after a certain period of time. Thinking about it is really full of anticipation.

  As he thought about it, Chu Chen began to nod off and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

  The next day, Chu Chen ate breakfast and met his landlady Zhang Dama again on his way home.

  Zhang's mother pulled Chu Chen aside and said, "Xiao Chen, I heard you made a mistake last time?"

  Chu Chen was taken aback at first, then said: "Auntie, I didn't expect your news to be so well-informed. Oh, are you worried that I don't have enough money to sign the contract?"

  "How come?"

  Mrs. Zhang said with a serious face, but she turned her head and asked again: "Then we have no problem signing the contract on Friday, right?"

  Chu Chen said wordlessly: "It's definitely no problem, if you're still worried, we can sign this afternoon."

  Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "I don't trust anyone else, but I can't not trust Xiao Chuan either. Since you've put it that way, if I still don't agree, wouldn't I be disappointing your kindness?"

  Chu Chen listened, and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Zhang Dama was indeed someone with a strong personality, but then he thought of something else and said to her:

  "Alright, let's re-sign this afternoon, but there's something else I'd like to trouble you with, Auntie."

  Mrs. Zhang said with a serious face: "What's the matter? If it's about rent, we've already discussed it before and can't change our minds now."

  Chu Chen saw this and truly had a feeling of a flock of crows flying over his head, bitterly smiling: "Auntie, am I that kind of person? It's just that I was wondering if you could help me get the broadband connected, don't worry, labor costs, material costs are all on me, and I'll pay the broadband fees for a whole year too."

  Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment, this thing is not bad, even if Chu Chen doesn't rent it in the future, the broadband will still be there, and when the time comes, as long as you pay the fee, you can use it, not bad, this thing can be done, so she slapped her thigh and said:

  "Hey, what's the big deal about this? It's simple. Let's just sign the appointment this afternoon and go take care of it."

  Afterwards, Chu Chen and Zhang's mother agreed on a meeting place for the contract signing in the afternoon, then they bid each other farewell.

  Chu Chen returned home and called Wu Shu, asking him to inquire about the computer. Since they were going to install broadband, they would need a computer, but computers were so expensive now, often over 10,000 yuan, and he didn't understand anything about them. If he didn't have any connections, he might end up being ripped off by a merchant and buying a fake product, wasting his money.

  At nine o'clock, Chu Chen took out the Tang Sancai ceramic piece and prepared to go to Zhu Dafu's store.

  Zhu Dafu's Yuebao Pavilion is much larger than Wu Shu's store, the lower floor alone is more than twice as large, and there is also a second floor, of course, the second floor has more valuable antiques.

  Yu Bao Ge is not like Wu Shu, who only does porcelain business. As long as it's a good antique, Yu Bao Ge will collect it. Of course, there are also projects that he focuses on, and that is Zhu Da Fu's hobby "jade". Because Zhu Da Fu especially loves jade, that's why he showed such an attitude yesterday.

  As I walked into the store, there were two large glass counters in front of me and to my left, displaying various exquisite jade pendants and bracelets. Several young men and women were discussing jade products with sales staff across the counter.

  On the right side near the gate, there is a corner-shaped reception counter combined with a cash register. On the far right, there is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

  In other places, several antique cabinets were reasonably placed, on which various exquisite antiques were displayed. Chu Chen also saw a few middle-aged and elderly people slowly appreciating them. Similarly, there was also a salesperson standing by, who would come forward to serve if they needed anything.
