55: Chapter 55 A Carefree Credit Card Swipe
Su Nange sat at his desk.
Because of the early preparations, the tender documents were mostly finished.
But what was the deal with the Dingsheng Auction Company that Liu Yuan mentioned?
That Old Woman from City Investment certainly wouldn't have mentioned such a place for no reason.
Could it be that she was already suspicious and had asked Liu Yuan to investigate?
That must be it.
Su Nange's pen wrote on the paper: Cilan Teahouse, Dingsheng Auction.
Could it be that these two places were also related?
Over the past two days, Old Liu had also been scouting other insurance companies for inside information regarding the City Investment project.
He fed back that ever since they went to Cilan Teahouse last time and deliberately spread the news about Shenzhou Insurance being the predetermined winner, it seemed to have indeed had an impact on Shenzhou Insurance.
A sales clerk named Xiaoli was even severely reprimanded by her manager.
Therefore, Su Nange could now determine that there was definitely a channel for information transfer between Cilan Teahouse and City Investment Company.
And the person delivering the news was very likely the boss, Meng Yu.
So, what was the relationship between the gentle Meng Yu and Li Xiongwei from City Investment?
Su Nange knew of Li Xiongwei.
Although he hadn't stayed at City Investment for long, he had heard a thing or two about his overbearing style.
Well-versed in Machiavellianism, a smile like the Dragon King began to appear on the corner of Su Nange's mouth again.
Zhou Wanqing, you Old Woman, it seems your task really isn't simple.
Liu Yuan was right; I really do need to help you!
Otherwise, how could I have the chance to make you kneel and beg me?
Just like Lester, Su Nange had to write out a plan before doing every major thing.
All the keys were probably still focused on that teahouse. However, this time, he absolutely had to find evidence!
Thinking of this, he walked into Liu Dong's office and tossed a cigarette over.
Liu Dong scolded, "You guy, do you have less and less respect for me?"
Su Nange: "I have to go to Cilan Teahouse again. Are you coming?"
At the thought of the 2,000 Yuan tea fee that hadn't been reimbursed yet, Liu Dong quickly waved his hand: "Get as far away as you can!"
However, he still added a final sentence: "Remember to get an invoice!"
Su Nange smiled: "No need, the consumption is a bit high this time!"
Arriving at Cilan Teahouse, Su Nange directly stuffed a pack of cigarettes to the security guard.
The security guard immediately shouted "Pour, pour, pour" with great enthusiasm!
Seeing Su Nange, Meng Yu still had her signature smile: "Young Master Su is here alone today?"
Su Nange nodded: "The usual, still want the Cinnamon tea!"
Meng Yu greeted a young woman: "Quickly serve tea to Young Master Su!"
Su Nange went to the private room, and then Meng Yu came in holding an exquisite booklet.
Su Nange opened it and looked; everything inside was extremely exquisite porcelain. Of course, the prices were also very beautiful.
Su Nange asked: "These vessels by modern masters all have prices. Why don't these antiques have price tags?"
Meng Yu explained: "Although these items by contemporary masters are also hard to obtain, after all, there is still stock in the market. As for these antiques, Young Master Su, you also know that for every one sold, there is one less. Therefore, they are all negotiable."
"Of course, we have another service here, which is that whichever dynasty or style you like, Young Master Su, I can help you scour the market for it."
"Just like the jade market, we will make purchases on behalf of our clients according to their budget."
Su Nange asked again: "Then what if there are fakes?"
Meng Yu did not show a hint of displeasure: "Young Master Su is joking, we are all professionals. Since this Cilan Teahouse opened, I haven't received a single bad review!"
Su Nange muttered to himself: Where exactly is the problem?
So, Su Nange continued to ask: "When I came here with Yuan last time, I accidentally saw a celadon four-seasons jar, and I thought it was quite beautiful."
"So, I also mentioned in my message to you that I wanted to buy a similar one."
"An antique one."
Meng Yu praised: "Young Master Su has great taste, picking out a unique piece at a glance. However, this really puts me in a difficult position; the one you took a fancy to already has a buyer."
"If you are not in a hurry, shall I go scour the market for you?"
Su Nange shook his head: "No need, then I'll look around for a while later, and if I see anything else I like, I'll let you know."
Meng Yu: "Alright, then Young Master Su, please enjoy your tea first."
Meng Yu turned her head: "Take good care of Young Master Su!"
The young woman in the cheongsam nodded elegantly.
Su Nange looked at the young woman in front of him.
She was calm and composed.
He kept staring.
Still calm.
He kept staring.
She blushed a little.
I don't believe it, he kept staring.
She turned redder and redder.
Su Nange never thought that he would one day imitate Diaochan! And he was a male Diaochan, damn it!
Seeing that the timing was about right, Su Nange asked: "Little sister, do you get a commission when guests buy porcelain?"
The cheongsam girl was shy and nodded gently.
So, Su Nange said: "Come here, sit and help me choose. I'll make the tea."
The cheongsam girl: "Ah?"
Su Nange tried hard to imagine in his mind, what should a cold CEO be like?
So, Su Nange frowned and said: "You don't listen to the guest's words?"
The cheongsam girl finally spoke in front of Su Nange for the first time: "Young Master Su, that won't do, we have rules here."
"My rules are the rules!"
However, Su Nange felt that being too fierce wasn't good either: "How about this, you teach me the tea ceremony, that's fine, right?"
The cheongsam girl finally compromised.
So, Su Nange was clumsy, and just by warming the cup and scalding the utensils, he spilled boiling water everywhere.
The girl was very thoughtful; she took a cloth and helped Su Nange wipe it clean.
Then she patiently explained every step of the traditional tea ceremony.
After all, Su Nange's physical functions were already extraordinary, and he learned this kind of thing very quickly.
Before long, under the guidance of the beauty, he began to look the part.
Don't say, this thing was quite interesting; no wonder so many successful people liked to fiddle with this every day.
The sentiments of the ancestors are indeed different, huh.
In this way, he and the cheongsam beauty were no longer as distant as they were at the beginning. He also learned that her name was Qianqian.
To put it bluntly, it looked elegant here, but what was the difference between its marketing model and those nightclubs?
Weren't these girls also used by capital to please customers, making people willing to spend money?
So, Su Nange pretended to be very fond of her: "Qianqian, go help me pick something out, will you?"
Qianqian: "Young Master Su, is that really okay?"
Su Nange looked calm and relaxed on the surface, but his heart was bleeding. The price of acting cool was really high.
Fortunately, he had just looked at it; although these things were not cheap, he could still afford them now.
A GTA heist would earn it back.
At worst, he would buy it and then sell it, which could recoup some losses.
So, for the sake of her commission, Qianqian really started to help Su Nange pick.
The two of them chatted idly.
Qianqian felt that this Young Master Su was quite humorous and witty, and also very generous. She also had a bit of a good impression of him in her heart.
Therefore, when choosing the porcelain, she didn't pick anything too expensive for him.
A Longquan kiln celadon vase with string patterns, priced at about 120,000, came from the hands of a contemporary master, Zhang Tao from Longquan.
When Su Nange heard this, this girl was quite considerate. Not bad!
So, he readily let the girl bring over the payment device; the way he swiped his card was just stylish!
With this, the trust between the two increased a little more.
Su Nange asked: "By the way, where does the porcelain here come from? It's fine, if it's inconvenient to say, then don't."
Qianqian added tea for Su Nange: "Young Master Su, there's nothing inconvenient to say. The porcelain here is all purchased by our boss, Sister Meng, personally."
"We people below are not very clear about it."
"What about those antiques? This stuff isn't easy to find, right? Most of the famous and circulating ones have already entered museums, right?"
Qianqian continued to answer: "I know even less about that; it's also found by Sister Meng."
Su Nange stopped while he was ahead. He originally wanted to ask about Meng Yu's rise to fortune, but that would be too obvious.
Today's goal was mostly accomplished; tasks always had to be done step by step.
At worst, he would come back next time and continue to get close to Qianqian.
Meng Yu personally handed the packed porcelain to Su Nange. And she casually gave him the description of the porcelain.
What Su Nange took a fancy to was exactly this.
Back in the car, Su Nange looked at it carefully.
Contemporary Longquan celadon successor, Master Zhang Tao. This Longquan kiln was precisely in Lian City within the province.
Su Nange thought for a moment, and while driving, he called Su Yao.
Su Yao was very happy to receive Su Nange's call, and a "Nange" made the young man's heart melt.
Su Nange quickly gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"Do you want to go on a business trip together?"
