10: This necklace is so white, and these gemstones are amazing!

Chen Kai smiled awkwardly. His gaze would occasionally drift to a flash of snowy white, making him feel a bit restless as he rubbed his hands together.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with Sister Liu. Thank you for looking after me, Sister Liu."

This wasn't Liu Yunshang cutting the price; it was clearly raising it. It was a full thousand yuan higher than the system's suggested selling price—three days of wages!

The system's suggested selling price was 3000. He didn't accept the system's suggestion and sold it for four thousand.

"Mm! Now that's my good little Brother."

Liu Yunshang curled the corners of her mouth. She was sitting directly across from Chen Kai. She felt her pocket but couldn't find her phone, so she leaned over to search the table.

Her deep V-neck shirt offered very little coverage, and a jade pendant on a silver chain dangled out from the deep V.

Chen Kai was stunned for a moment. This necklace was so white, and this gemstone was just so gOOd!

He took two glances, then hurriedly withdrew his gaze. It was improper to look!

Liu Yunshang smiled imperceptibly, keeping her head buried as she continued to look for her phone.

"Sister Liu, what are you looking for?"

Chen Kai asked curiously.

"Looking for my phone to transfer the money to you. I'll take my time looking."

Liu Yunshang kept her head lowered, letting the pendant hanging from her snowy white neck hover in the air.

"Sister Liu... isn't your phone right there on the table?"

Chen Kai was slightly stunned. Wasn't the screen of her triple-fold phone right there on the coffee table?

It hadn't even gone to sleep mode, though the sound wasn't playing. It was playing a cheesy short drama about an icy heiress president falling in love with a poor guy.

He didn't expect Sister Liu to like watching this type of cheesy drama.

Chen Kai smiled helplessly.

"Ah... oh... so it's here. I thought I'd put it under the coffee table."

A trace of resentment flashed in Liu Yunshang's eyes. She exited the short drama page, opened Chen Kai's WeChat chat box, and readily transferred 4,100 yuan.

"Sister Liu, why is it 4,100?"

Chen Kai looked at the chat interface, puzzled. He hadn't accepted three previous transfers yet: 288 from yesterday noon, and 200 for the blind box just after hanging up the video call. Why was there an extra hundred?

He had already taken advantage of her; he couldn't keep taking advantage of Liu Yunshang.

"Didn't you buy this blind box separately? Consider it a gift from me. I'm giving you my [Love] as well."

Liu Yunshang put down her phone and said nonchalantly. She then picked up the red labubu and shoved it into Chen Kai's hands. "Keep my love safe, okay?"

"Got it, Sister Liu. Thank you, Sister Liu."

Seeing this, Chen Kai decisively accepted the three transfers. He had made a killing today—4,300 yuan.

In just these three days, he had already earned 12,900 yuan, which was more than what he made delivering food for a whole month!

"Ding dong."

Just then, Liu Yunshang's triple-fold phone suddenly rang twice.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it nonchalantly, then stood up and walked toward the terrace. "Little Brother, you sit. I need to discuss some business."

Walking outside, she tapped on the Green Bubbles group chat named [Jiangnan City Pawnshop President Group].

She saw that someone in the group was offering a high price to source a harry potter book signed by J.K. Rowling from their peers.

In the Pawnshop and Antique Circle, if a boss encountered a situation where they didn't have the goods a customer wanted, they would usually coordinate in the group.

It was mutually beneficial; everyone made money, and it fostered cooperation.

[Jianshan Pawnshop Boss Liu: Emergency! Does anyone have a harry potter book signed by J.K. Rowling? A collector is missing just this one! I'll source it from you at a high price! Any of the first three printings will do, 25,000!]

The other Pawnshop bosses in the group were instantly in an uproar.

[Damn! Damn! I don't have it!]

[It's a bit frustrating. The current market price is only five or six thousand, right? That's a 20,000 profit just by flipping it!]

Looking at the messages in the group, Liu Yunshang suddenly remembered that her shop seemed to have acquired one a couple of days ago, so she quickly typed in the group.

"Yunshang Pavilion has a second printing with an autograph. I can transfer the stock."

[Jianshan Pawnshop Boss Liu: Really? I'm coming to get it right now! Boss Liu, you've been a huge help! In the future, if I have good items, I'll transfer them to your shop too! Thanks!]

Liu Yunshang silently turned off her phone and sent a message to Zheng Liu Chang.

Only then did she walk back into the room. Seeing Chen Kai looking awkward, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Little Brother, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that big sister is going to eat you?"

Seeing Chen Kai's contrasting demeanor, Liu Yunshang couldn't hide her smile. Before entering the room, she had asked if he wasn't afraid that she was a bad person.

Why did she feel so much like a bad big sister after entering the room?

"Um... Sister Liu, you go ahead and get busy. I'll go deliver my orders now."

Chen Kai muttered, grabbed the red labubu, and walked out.

Just as he walked out the door, his phone notification sound suddenly rang.

He opened Green Bubbles and saw a voice message from Zheng Liu Chang. He could hear the excitement in his voice.

"Godson! Come to the shop quickly. Your father is taking you out for a big meal. That harry potter signed book you sold me earlier was a huge help!"

"Another Pawnshop sourced this book from us, and Brother's commission alone is 5,000!"

"Hurry up, I'm taking you out for a meal. Come quickly."

Chen Kai was a bit surprised when he saw this.

A 5,000 commission meant the sale price shouldn't be less than 20,000.

He didn't feel it was a loss; a Pawnshop was a channel to begin with. They earned money by buying low and selling high, the middleman's spread.

If he tried to sell it himself, he might have waited a long time without selling it, and it would have been a lot of effort.

However, opportunities for his Godson to treat him to a meal were rare. He thought about it and replied:

"Your father will be there immediately!"

He hung the labubu on his keys, hurried downstairs, rode his little electric donkey, and headed toward Yunshang Pavilion.

...

Half an hour later, Chen Kai parked his little electric donkey at the entrance of Yunshang Pavilion. He pushed the door open and found that Zheng Liu Chang had already set a table full of dishes waiting for him.

"Brother, you really helped me out a lot. This book isn't available anywhere in the city, and usually, no one collects it, so few people buy or sell it. But you actually helped me solve a huge problem, kid."

Zheng Liu Chang said excitedly, taking two thousand yuan from under the table and slapping it onto the lunch box.

"This two thousand yuan is a reward from your Brother. Today, the other Pawnshops looked at me with the kind of respect usually reserved for big firms. It feels fucking great."

Chen Kai took two quick steps and sat at the table. He pushed the money back.

"It's enough that my Godson is treating me to a meal. I already sold it to you, so I don't care how much you sold it for. If my Godson has a heart, just treat me to a couple more meals."

"This... Alright!"

Zheng Liu Chang readily took the money back. He knew what kind of person Chen Kai was.

He readily opened a bottle of fruit juice for Chen Kai and a bottle of beer for himself.

"Cheers!"

After three rounds of drinks and tasting the dishes.

Chen Kai let out a satisfied burp while listening to Zheng Liu Chang talk about his Female Boss again.

His eyes couldn't help but fill with curiosity. Just how beautiful must the Female Boss be to be mentioned time and again by Zheng Liu Chang?

Sometimes, a man's curiosity is just that intense; he just wants to see how beautiful this woman is.
