Boss Hao wanted to bite his teeth. He was unwilling to let someone else take advantage of his precious treasure. After analyzing the situation in the shop, he realized that only Shopkeeper Wang could help him. He looked over with a pleading look. Shopkeeper Wang looked away immediately, not wanting to be tricked by him.
Forget it, he would rather hit the golden bell than break the drum. Boss Hao directly said to Old Gu in a pleading tone,"Old Gu, I'm also a small businessman…"
Old Gu was shocked at first, then he frowned.
"Wow, don't tell me you want to go back on your word? If your eyesight is bad, you should admit defeat. Weren't you quite capable just now?”Xia Mo couldn't stand his shamelessness.
"It's not mine, so I don't have the right to dispose of it. Besides, there are no rules. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the antique circle. Whether it's eye-catching or treasure walking, you can only blame yourself for not being good at it. There's no reason to go back on your word after the matter. This is also the most basic thing to do.”
Old Gu's words were already very serious." Old Yu wants to come over personally. We should go back and wait for the guests.”
After he finished speaking, he was about to get up. Shopkeeper Wang glanced at Boss Hao with a grumbling look. He was afraid that he would be implicated by him and leave a bad impression on Old Gu. He jogged to get an exquisite wooden box to properly pack the wooden carving in Old Gu's hand and respectfully sent it to the door.
Xia Mo deliberately walked at the back and gave Boss Hao the middle finger.
After they got into the car, Old Gu handed the wooden box to Su Tong, who was sitting in the front passenger seat."What are your plans for the wood carving?"
" Uh..." Su Tong scratched his head. It happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to think about it.
"Old Gu, where are we going now?" Xia Mo fastened his seatbelt.
"Go to my place. Old Yu and the others will come over as soon as they get off the plane.”
"Alright." Xia Mo accepted the order and drove away in his Porsche.
"Old Gu, I've mentioned to you that I used to work in a curator company. Actually, I envy those collectors who have the strength and luck to collect what they love.”
After a pause, Su Tong did not seem to realize that she was already a millionaire and had a treasure in her hands. She said a little embarrassedly," I want to make this wood carving my first collection.”
"Mm, very good. He didn't fall for money. He's someone who has pursuits.”Old Gu seemed to be very satisfied with his answer." Since you've made up your mind, you can rest assured and do it. There's still a long way to go.”
Su Tong was still confused by Old Gu's words, but Xia Mo and Wang Taichu understood what he meant.
Wang Taichu knew from Xia Mo's complaint that Mr. Hao had already made a cross with Old Gu. Old Gu had a personality that was protective of his own disciples. His two disciples were actually ordered around by a small antique shop's shopkeeper. He didn't show it on the surface, but he was probably already dissatisfied. He told Su Tong to do it without worry, which also meant that he was protecting him.
Elder Yu must have had the intention to buy it personally. Without Elder Gu's protection, Su Tong alone might not be able to resist the pressure.
Xia Mo's heart was sour." Su Tong, your luck is really heaven-defying. If you hadn't been lucky enough to find such a treasure, it would have been very difficult for you to win against me.”
"You're right." Su Tong grinned and confirmed from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm still not convinced. No, no, it's only fair if we win two out of three!”
Ignoring Xia Mo's yelling, Su Tong turned to Xia Mo and said with a smile,""Thanks!"
As for what he was thanking them for, the two of them knew very well. Su Tong didn't think that she was a cynical person who hated the rich, but she was still a little polite to Xia Mo's bossy personality. However, this time, Xia Mo helped him criticize Boss Hao, which made him change his mind. At the critical moment, one's character depended on it. Compared to Shao Bing, it was like heaven and earth.
Xia Mo was a little embarrassed by this sudden action. He held the steering wheel with both hands and said,""Tsk, this is called being clear-headed. What's the conflict between us? It was a conflict among the people, different from what that Hao guy called a conflict between the enemy and himself! The contradictions among the people were contradictions based on the fundamental unity of the people's interests. They were non-confrontational. We are both Old Gu's disciples, how can we be bullied by a run-down shop owner? Learn from me in the future and don't embarrass Old Gu!”
A series of contradictions came and went, making Su Tong dizzy." I just realized that you, Ma Zhe, Mao Gai, and Deng Lun are quite good."”
Xia Mo immediately put on his signature smug smile.""Of course! I graduated from Princeton's philosophy department!”
Princeton University was ranked in the top five in both the PGH and the QL world university rankings. The strength of the philosophy department was evident.
Su Tong found that he didn't look so annoying anymore, so she gave him a thumbs up, which made Old Gu and Wang Taichu laugh.
The vehicles were clearly moving in the direction of the outskirts. The density of the houses decreased, and the air quality and vegetation coverage increased.
Soon, a high-end villa area came into view.
The people of Jin Ling city were familiar with this villa, and there were many legends about it.
This was a top luxury house in Jin Ling City, one of the top 10 super luxury houses in Asia. It was located in the middle of Mount Zijin, Mount Qixia, and Mount Qinglong. Not only did it enjoy the natural scenery of Mount Zijin, but it also hid more than 30,000 square kilometers of forest and green sea. It was said that one had to go through layers of security to enter this place.
However, Su Tong realized that this was not the case. Perhaps it was because the property management of Ding Hao had been more advanced with the times. All parking access systems had been abandoned here. From the villa's main entrance to the villa's entrance, to the villa's courtyard door, and then to the villa's garage door, there was no need to get out of the car to open the door or swipe the card. It was completely wireless and automatically opened.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed. The car finally stopped in front of a high courtyard. When she got out of the car, she saw lush greenery, the crisp chirping of birds, and the fragrance of fresh air. Su Tong sighed with emotion that there would definitely be no problem in prolonging life in such a healthy environment.
The interior of the courtyard had the layout of a grand mansion. On the same plane, there were corridors, courtyards, pavilions, waterside pavilions, and other organic connections to form a three-way courtyard. Accompanied by "Winding River Flowing Wine Cup", elegant pavilions and other courtyard pieces, the oriental artistic conception permeated the daily life.
The cobblestones formed a small path, and there were all kinds of flowers and trees on both sides. Exquisite buildings were hidden among the lush foliage.
After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up. The pond and artificial mountain came into view. A snow-white waterfall hung on the artificial mountain rock, and the koi fish in the pond stretched out and swam comfortably.
