142: Find a bargain at the ski resort!
Liu Yunshang exchanged a few pleasantries with these major clients and had them exchange contact information with Zheng Liu Chang before turning back to look at Chen Kai with a face full of admiration.
"Brother, you're truly amazing!"
"Even this group of big bosses, who frequently spend over a hundred thousand at a time in the Antique Circle, have been completely won over by Brother Chen Kai."
"Not only did you help him get revenge, but you also helped him attract clients."
This was a huge win. She immediately grabbed Chen Kai's arm, showing off with a little bit of glee.
Chen Kai smiled slightly and waved goodbye to each of these wealthy bosses one by one.
Only then did he look back at Zhou Haoyu, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Zhou Haoyu gritted his teeth, his face full of dejection.
He couldn't believe that something he hadn't identified as a fake had been spotted by Chen Kai!
Although Zhou Haoyu didn't want to admit it, that's just how the Antique Circle is; there's no room for second-guessing, even if this famille rose porcelain looked obviously fake now, and a very low-end fake at that.
But he hadn't seen it at the time, and what he missed, Chen Kai had spotted at a glance. This was the difference in their discernment.
"I... I admit defeat. The price I was selling this for was 4,600. It's a ten-fold refund for fakes, but since you haven't paid yet, I'll just transfer you 46,000."
Zhou Haoyu said, head bowed and teeth gritted.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered using the excuse that Chen Kai hadn't paid yet to brush it off.
But with so many people here, and the big bosses outside not having gone far yet...
If he did that, he would truly become a clown. If his discernment wasn't as good as someone else's, he should just admit it. If he went back on his word, he would completely ruin the family business his father passed down to him.
Chen Kai raised an eyebrow and slowly took out his phone.
"Scan the code."
He was a bit surprised. He had intentionally not paid earlier. If he hadn't paid and they had started arguing with so many people present, that would have been the real killing blow, to the point where the shop wouldn't be able to stay in business for long.
Think about it carefully: a peer comes to expose a fake, and with so many peers and bosses here as witnesses, if he tried to wriggle out of paying, then what about real consumers coming to buy things?
What guarantee would they have if they bought a fake? Wouldn't the right of final interpretation for the so-called "ten-fold refund" still be in their hands?
The reputation of Tong Sihai would be completely ruined.
However, Chen Kai hadn't expected him to pay so readily without arguing; this was his first failed trap.
Still, the effect he wanted had already been achieved.
"Ding! WeChat payment received, 46,000 yuan."
Chen Kai picked up his phone, glanced at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, the others became excited.
However, the bosses who had "defected" now felt their scalps tingling. It's over! This is truly over!
Not only had they offended both sides, but even if they had latched onto a big shot, what was the point of latching onto a loser?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Antique Circle in Jiangnan City was about to change!
They had picked the wrong side and were destined to lose some benefits!
Chen Kai smiled faintly, took Liu Yunshang's hand, and turned to leave the shop.
As soon as they stepped out of the shop, they saw Li Chen, who had been witnessing everything from a distance.
There was a hint of admiration on Li Chen's face as he gave him a thumbs-up.
From the shape of his mouth, Chen Kai could tell he said, "Awesome!"
"Brother, I'm free today. How about we go straight to my place?"
Chen Kai hooked the corner of his mouth and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Hmm~~ Since Sister Liu has said so, how could I have any reason to refuse?"
"Let's go. I don't have anything to do today anyway, so let's just go to your place!"
"To eat the food you make!"
Liu Yunshang also curved the corners of her mouth slightly, letting Chen Kai keep his arm around her waist, and walked toward the mercedes-benz gle in her high heels.
After the two got in the car, they headed straight for Qingshan Residential Complex.
In less than half an hour, the mercedes-benz gle pulled up steadily downstairs at Qingshan Residential Complex.
On the way, they bought some ingredients—the familiar oysters, and other potent ingredients full of aggression.
The two went upstairs together and lay on the bed to watch a movie.
In any case, Chen Kai didn't hear a single line of the movie's dialogue, nor did he hear what the plot was about.
Two and a half hours later, as the sky grew dark, they shared dinner, then lay in bed cuddling and scrolling through their phones.
Time passed unconsciously until midnight.
Chen Kai opened the Intelligence System on time to check the intelligence that had refreshed today.
"Ding! Today's intelligence has refreshed!"
"At 10:00 AM today, at the Huachen Tiandi Ski Resort in Jiangnan City, there is a Gold-Thread Anklet left behind in a pair of shared Snow Boots. The Gold-Thread Anklet has an Ice Yang Green jade bead tied to it. Suggested selling price: 20,000 + 15,000."
Chen Kai was stunned. You can find things in shared Snow Boots?
He had visited this ski resort in Jiangnan City once before; every southerner has an obsession with seeing snow, especially in a place like Jiangnan City.
The only time Chen Kai remembered it snowing was when he was a child. A thin layer of snow had fallen, and his family of three had played as if it were the New Year—a memory he still couldn't forget.
You had to rent both the snowboard and skis at the ski resort, including the cotton-padded jackets and Snow Boots.
He didn't expect that someone would actually drop something inside the boots.
This was a huge Score a Bargain.
Chen Kai thought for a moment and patted Liu Yunshang's shoulder.
Liu Yunshang let out a soft huff, "What is it? Do you want me to go take a shower again?"
"Ahem, that's not it. Are you free tomorrow? How about we go play at the ski resort?"
"Hmm~~ I'm free tomorrow morning. Can we go in the morning? We'll come back at noon."
Liu Yunshang frowned and thought for a moment; there were indeed quite a few things to do tomorrow.
"Okay, then we'll head over after eight and come back at noon."
Chen Kai nodded quickly. He figured Tang Yunshu wouldn't be free, so he would just ask her out alone in a couple of days.
He hadn't really spent time playing with that little girl properly either.
"Okay~ then it's decided~~"
Liu Yunshang revealed a mysterious smile, then got up and went to the bathroom to shower.
Early the next morning, after being woken up by his alarm, Chen Kai rubbed his bleary eyes.
He discovered that Liu Yunshang was already up and had prepared a table full of breakfast.
Lychee juice, two fried eggs, and steak.
"Brother is awake? Come and eat quickly, or we won't have enough time later."
She checked the time and hurriedly gestured for Chen Kai to sit down and eat.
It takes a full half-hour to get from Qingshan Residential Complex to the ski resort, and that's assuming there's no traffic.
Otherwise, they wouldn't arrive until nine.
Chen Kai nodded in agreement and quickly sat down to eat.
In less than twenty minutes, the two wiped their mouths, went downstairs, got into the mercedes-benz gle, and headed toward Huachen Tiandi Ski Resort.
Time passed quickly, and in just half an hour, Chen Kai slowly parked the car at the entrance of the ski resort, looking at the ticket gate with anticipation.
The last time he came here was, well, the last time!
"I already bought the tickets yesterday. We can just go through the ticket gate and enter."
