"How dare you talk about the magic weapons?"
Wang Ke said with a cold snort, "I am not that easy to cheat. I work in Antique Street, and a magic weapon must be antique. Your porcelain is a new imitation from Zhang's chinaware shop and is twenty yuan only. What kind of magic weapon is that!"
"I..."
The man became sweaty when he heard the words. He looked at Wang Ke in shock and was speechless.
How did he know that I bought it from Zhang's?
Did he really work in Antique Street?
Oh sh*t! Why was I so unlucky!
The people around finally understood what was going on. It turned out to be a fraud!
They couldn't help looking at the man angrily. This scum deceived the old man for his hard-earned money!
"Got nothing to say, huh? Anybody calls the police please."
Wang Ke turned and said to the people around him.
Hearing this, they just realized to take out their mobiles and call the police.
Seeing the dilemma, the man got up and run away. Before he could take a few steps, he felt a huge force from behind making him fall to the ground fiercely. He struggled to get up but failed. He could only stare at Wang Ke viciously to warn him.
"This is for the old man."
Wang Ke didn't avoid staring at the man's eyes. The man kicked by him would not recover in a short time. Even if he wanted to revenge, Wang Ke would not be afraid!
In several minutes, the police arrived. Wang Ke realized the incident was going to end, and that the old man had recovered and understood what was going on. Then Wang Ke walked away while the people around were not paying attention.
"Hey, where is the young man? Where did he go?"
"Yeah, why did he disappear of a sudden? The young man is really good, and is our hero!"
...
After a while, the people around realized that Wang Ke had gone, and then started looking around.
They tried to help the old man, who had chilled down and finally understood what was going on. He could not help wiping muddy tears with his withered hands and kept whispering.
"Thank you, young man."
...
Leaving the people behind, Wang Ke put spirit energy under his feet immediately, like a speedy wind, rushing towards Antique Street.
Just entering Antique Street, he scattered the spirit energy because he did not want others to see his ghost-like body. When he was ready to go to the workplace, his eyes stung and his mind turned blank.
Another sequela!
Wang Ke closed his eyes, thinking overwhelmingly.
When he made the breakthrough yesterday, he intended to break through the Baihui acupoint as the fourth stage of Dragon's Momentum. But the spirit energy could not get there and gathered around his eyes. He was so scared and scattered the spirit energy. But it was too late, he passed out because of severe pain.
When he woke up, he examined his eyes and found that there was nothing wrong, except for a stabbing pain from time to time. He still couldn't understand what happened around his eyes after he had passed out.
At the time, Wang Ke noticed the dialogue of two people passing by.
"Did you know that? Someone got real luck! One hundred yuan for a magic weapon. And others are offering one hundred thousand yuan for it!"
"Really? Where is it? Why can't I have that fortune!"
"Just opposite the Three Treasure House."
"We need to take a look. Hurry!"
...
Wang Ke looked at the two people and had a complex feeling of their madness.
Antiques, magic weapons. Making a collection is always attractive. Everyone wanted to become rich overnight.
Buying magic weapons was more complicated than antiques, for one needed not only the knowledge of antiques but also the knowledge of Fengshui. The magic weapon being placed at home could change a person's fortune. Therefore it was more precious and attractive than antiques. But it was very difficult for ordinary people to recognize the magic weapon, even for a person who really knew about antiques.
The cheater just knew the rule so he cheated with a fake magic weapon.
However, this had nothing to do with Wang Ke. He was thinking about how to deal with his boss.
It was the tenth time he'd been late this month. The boss gave him a last warning yesterday. One more time and he would lose his job. And because of what happened just now he was late again.
But he didn't regret it. Even if he would be late, he would have done it.
Arriving at Treasure Hall, Wang Ke saw shopkeeper Zhou Guisheng, who was 40 years old, and got the title of "Zhou Bapi". Zhou stood seriously, seemed to be waiting for him. Beside him stood a young man wearing a uniform, obsequiously offering tea for Zhou Guisheng.
Seeing the young man, Wang Ke couldn't help being stunned.
Isn't that Sun Ming who took the same interview with him for the store half a year ago but failed for his appearance?
Why was he here? And in a store's uniform?
With doubts, Wang Ke had to go ahead, wondering how to talk about the accident today.
Zhou Guisheng glimpsed at Wang Ke, and said, "Oh? Isn't this Wang Ke? What are you doing here?"
It was full of ridicule.
"Boss, I'm sorry I'm late again, but there was a reason today. I..."
Wang Ke explained immediately. But before he could finish the words, Zhou Guisheng raised his hand to interrupt.
"So you knew you were late. I thought that you take it as the shop opens at eight p.m. I do remember what I said yesterday. If you were to be late again, you would get fired. Is that right? I still remember, you nodded. How can you forget today?"
Zhou Guisheng looked at the mountain in the distance, acting spooky, and didn't even take a look at Wang Ke.
Wang Ke burst into anger when hearing the words, no matter how tender his temper was. It was his fault. But this was too much.
There was a reason why he'd been late before. A month ago, when he felt he was about to make a breakthrough, his mental strength and memory began to deteriorate rapidly without notice. He couldn't even remember what he was doing in the end. He'd been acting like a fool for a month.
But at the moment he made a breakthrough yesterday, he felt electricity all over his body. His brain suddenly got cleared, just like a man waking up from a dream. And the previous events were reviewed like a movie scene.
His mental strength and memory increased exponentially, spirit energy going through his whole body, and he was completely restored. Of course, the eyes were just an accident.
He wanted to explain at first. Seeing Zhou Guisheng's action, he became too lazy to ask for an insult.
However, he had to make one last effort. After all, it was the only formal job he had had since dropping out of high school two years ago.
"Boss, give me one more chance please."
"You want me to give you a chance to ruin my precious antique? Or should I give you a chance to get paid for nothing? You are good at dreaming, my god. I can not afford you. Take your money and piss off!"
Zhou Guisheng looked at Wang Ke with a sneer.
"Boss, don't be angry. Have a cup of tea and calm down. You don't have to be angry with this kind of person."
Sun Ming offered the tea quickly. Zhou Guisheng took over the tea and drank with satisfaction. At the same time, Sun Ming gave Wang Ke a proud smile.
Seeing the situation, Wang felt disgusted and curled his lips, despising the slave-like guy.
"See, what's a good employee? That's a good employee!"
Zhou Guisheng pointed at Sun Ming and said to Wang Ke, "I sincerely regret that I didn't choose him over you. Otherwise, my Treasure Hall would be booming in the past half-year. But it's not too late. You should go wherever you like and I get my employee. I announce, from today on, when you are fired, Sun has become the only clerk in our shop!"
Hearing that, Sun Ming puffed out his chest and showed an I-am-better-than-you face.
Seeing the disgusting look of Zhou Guisheng and Sun Ming, Wang Ke wanted to punch them very much, helping them to reconsider their life.
The stingy boss and despicable man, are a perfect match.
Wang Ke giving no reaction, Zhou Guisheng felt like being humiliated and burst into anger. He said indifferently, "Come in and make your settlement. Then piss off!"
Finishing that, Zhou turned around and entered the Treasure Hall. He didn't want to see Wang Ke anymore.
Sun Ming did not follow Zhou Guisheng immediately but sneered at Wang Ke with a spanking look. "Wang Ke, I should thank you. I heard that you had worked for half a year but still got paid fifteen hundred per month, ha! Poor guy! Had you not defeated me, I would be like you! How can I get two thousand and five hundred now? Haha. I really want to thank you!"
Saying this, Sun came over and wanted to pat Wang Ke on the shoulder to show "encouragement" and "thank you".
Wang Ke snorted coldly. He did not answer Sun Ming at all and went in straightforward.
How could he not know the ridicule meaning of sun Ming's words? He knew a man without position and influence may be subjected to many indignities. He had broken through already and would fly in the highest sky and get rid of these losers.
Sun Ming's hand stayed in the air with embarrassment, his expression uncertain. He snorted with a cold look at Wang Ke, and then followed him into the shop.
Coming to the counter, Sun Ming nimbly used the computer to type out Wang Ke's salary list, and handed it to Zhou Guisheng. The series of movements seemed to be from a well-rehearsed one, not a newbie.
Looking at the payroll, Zhou Guisheng nodded with satisfaction and praised Sun Ming, "Well done. It is just right."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Sun Ming made a flattering appearance immediately.
This almost made Wang Ke want to vomit. How could a person be so despicable like this!
Zhou Guisheng took out fifty yuan from the counter and threw it to Wang Ke with the payroll.
Wang Ke took over the payroll and money. Seeing the details on it, he suddenly burst into anger, raised his head, and questioned Zhou Guisheng, "Boss, the contract doesn't say that being late makes deduction of a hundred yuan. The maximum deduction is a day's wages. Isn't one hundred too much? And charge me two hundred for breaking a cup?"
Seeing Wang Ke being angry, Zhou Guisheng felt comfortable and satisfied. He pointed at Sun Ming and said, "Explain to him."
After getting the order from Zhou Guisheng, Sun Ming immediately cleared his throat and spoke like a rooster ready to fight, "The wages will be deducted for your being late. It's indeed in the contract. But the last clause clearly states that our store reserves the final interpretation right. As you have been late too many times, one hundred yuan is surely a reasonable penalty. If you think it's too much, go to the Workers' Association and sue us at any time!"After this, Sun Ming laughed at Wang Ke evilly. Then he looked at Zhou Guisheng as if checking whether he was doing right.Zhou Guisheng nodded with satisfaction and Sun Ming immediately made a flattering look."You..."Wang Ke was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He had never seen people so exploitative like this!"Oh, by the way, you reminded me that I hadn't charged you for being late today. Once being late, one day's salary will be deducted. That is fift
Wang Ke came to the stall and picked up a blue and white porcelain plate. Judging from the texture, this plate should be from the late Ming Dynasty.This plate was very beautiful and magnificent with sixteen medallion landscape designs. Eight big medallion landscape designs depicted bamboo and floral patterns and eight small medallion landscape designs depicted jade necklace patterns. The overall sense of hierarchy was clear and in the center of the plate was the pattern of mandarin ducks in a lotus pond.This blue and white porcelain plate looked good at first sight. But on closer inspection, Wang Ke noticed something wrong.The brushwork of mandarin ducks with lotus pond pattern in the center of the plate was immature and the composition was a little distorted. The overall color appeared to be gray and the luster of the glaze was dim.It was a fake.Wang Ke sighed lightly and put down the plate.The stal
"So? Do you like this jade pendant?"The stall owner saw Wang Ke holding the jade pendant and asked with a smile."It looks good. I want to buy it as a toy for my nephew. Name your price."Wang Ke didn't even blush when he lied. To survive in this society, he must learn to be shameless."Five hundred yuan. The price is fixed."The stall owner replied firmly."Come on, man! Are you serious? How dare you ask five hundred yuan for a jade pendant of this quality?! Believe it or not, I can buy a better jade pendant at another stall for fifty!"Wang Ke didn't expect the stall owner to charge so much! How could he have the cheek to say that his prices were very reasonable?!He didn't believe that the stall owner knew that the jade pendant was genuine. Otherwise, this jade pendant wouldn't have been placed in such an insignificant position."Then what price can you accept?"
After a long pause, Zhao Menfeng sighed and said, "It's a fake.""What?!"Zhou Bapi collapsed. He couldn't believe what he heard.How could this be a fake?He spent a lot of effort and money to buy it. How could it be fake?He dared not accept it, and he couldn't accept it. So he looked at Zhao Menfeng and looked forward to the explanation."It's indeed a fake."Zhao Menfeng said regretfully, "It's very imposing and exquisite in workmanship, but it's indeed a fake. This is neither an antique nor a magic weapon, just a nice craft. Alright, I have fulfilled my promise. Goodbye."After Zhao Menfeng said that, he stood up and walked toward the door. Zhou Bapi hadn't yet recovered from the shock....Wang Ke went into Shangbao Pavilion and looked around. He saw all kinds of magic weapons on the shelves. There was a feeling of magnificence and wealth, and it's
He paid attention to those three genuine antiques wholeheartedly. However, what made him disappointed was that because of no smog gathering, those three genuine antiques were not real magic weapons. The use of extraordinary vision was time-limited. Besides, he could feel that the number of times of his using it in a day was also limited. At a time, he could use it for around five to eight seconds. Then the spirit energy would be cut off. There were only two or three seconds left. He had to save the chance. Wang Ke took saving as a principle. Now that those three antiques were not magic weapons, he did not have to waste his spirit energy and the time he could spend on the extraordinary vision. He felt prickling pain. After the spirit energy being cut off, he had a blackout. Quickly covering eyes with his hands, he did not put them down until the pain was relieved. He glanced at Sun Ming with pink eyes. He thought t
The appearance of the Buddha statue was lovely. In Wang Ke's extraordinary vision, there was smog flowing in the air. Wang Ke had a feeling that the smog might want to get rid of the statue and come into his eyes when he looked at it again.The cool and pleasant feeling replaced the pain, and the feeling was maintained for only about two seconds. Then Wang Ke felt dizzy again. Suddenly the prickling pain appeared.He instantly covered his eyes with his left hand. Wang Ke did not show his emotion. He still presented a cool and peaceful face. However, inwardly he was full of joy.It was a magic weapon!Was it true that he found a magic weapon again?How could he be so lucky! Such precious magic weapons could be found by him twice in one day. Was god making him lucky to appreciate his handsome appearance and kind characteristics?Thinking that happily, Wang Ke put down his hand. He looked up to Li Daqu
"If you need assistance within my ability, I will spare no effort." It took Liu Gang one hundred and fifty thousand to buy the Buddha statue. Liu Gang was full of satisfaction. After all, the profit of selling the statue would be around ten thousand. Though he was a manager and a valuator here, the share could be handsome.Wang Ke smiled, and he said, "The old saying goes that common fame is seldom to blame. I came here twice in one day to sell magic weapons. If anyone else knows that, it will have a bad effect on both me and our corporation. In a word, I want you to keep the secret for me."Liu Gang listened to him. And he thought higher of the young man.He did not pursue fame but wealth.He was awesome!"No worry. What happened today will only be known by you and me." Liu Gang laughed.The two men did not expect what was happening on the first floor of Shangbao Pavilion.In the last
The gain was always followed by pleasure. With the joy of the harvest, Wang Ke said goodbye to Liu Gang and then headed towards his rented residence.The two magic weapons he accidentally obtained were sold for a total of two hundred and fifty thousand yuan. After transferring fifty thousand to his parents, he now had two hundredthousand left in his bank account.Two hundredthousandyuan!This was a huge amount of money for him who was used to being poor.He was thinking about whether he should rent a better place to live. Because the house he was renting was in a dilapidated courtyard with eight cottages, two of which were occupied by the landlord and his family, and the rest were rented out."Luckily that guy's got some sense in him, or I'd drive him away too. He's a young man though. He could do nothing but lock himself in his room after coming back every day. I bet Wang Ke can do nothing but eat and drink."
