244: Do you really want it?
"Kill your sister..."
It had been three years.
Ye Su had long been accustomed to this grandson's habit of acting like a drama queen at any time and place.
"Kill my sister!" Jiang Zhibin looked shocked. "Foster father, that is my own flesh and blood, my beloved family member!"
Under Ye Su's speechless gaze, Jiang Zhibin struggled as if he were constipated, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "You'll have to pay extra!"
"Brother-in-law!" Lin Jingjie heard this and immediately barked angrily, "What are you trying to do to your younger brother's wife, my wife!"
"Get lost, you jerk!"
Having been taken advantage of by Lin Jingjie, Jiang Zhibin sucked the meat off the crab claw clean, then threw the shell at Lin Jingjie.
"Hey! Can you be a bit more hygienic? Don't throw things around!"
This time, it was Fang Zewei's turn to be unhappy. "Damn it, every time I ask you two to sweep the dorm, it's either backache or waist pain, and now you're littering!"
Noisy and rowdy, yet harmonious and happy.
The four of them ate for nearly an hour before they finished all the takeout they had ordered.
As the wealthy one, after finishing the meal, Ye Su naturally acted like a boss, letting his three foster sons clean up the dorm.
After staying for another twenty minutes or so, Ye Su left the dorm at a little past one o'clock.
He first went to Echo Antiques to sign the sublease contract with the warehouse owner.
The warehouse that Feng Zhiquan had rented to open his shop had a total area of 173 square meters, with a monthly rent of 28 yuan per square meter.
Therefore, Ye Su had to pay 4,844 yuan in rent alone every month, not including the warehouse's electricity bill.
After signing the contract and settling the utility bills, Ye Su transferred a 5,000 yuan deposit and three months' rent to the owner.
Meanwhile, the license transfer on Feng Zhiquan's side was already complete; Ye Su only needed to go and collect the licenses.
The shop officially changed hands, and Ye Su transferred the remaining balance of 188,000 to Feng Zhiquan.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"Pleasure doing business. Wishing Boss Ye great success in your business."
With years of hard work gone down the drain, Feng Zhiquan didn't look very enthusiastic, but he still politely shook hands with Ye Su.
"Thank you for your kind words. In the future, if Boss Feng finds any good items you want to sell, you're welcome to bring them to the shop. As long as the price is right, I'll take them all."
Feng Zhiquan was able to sustain Echo Antiques, so he naturally had his own methods for finding sources of goods.
Ye Su didn't yet know why Feng Zhiquan would transfer Echo Antiques when it was running just fine.
But as long as he was willing to stay in the industry, Ye Su would naturally welcome him to continue as an external associate for Echo Antiques, responsible for helping him solve the supply issue.
Hearing Ye Su's invitation to collaborate, a hint of joy finally appeared on Feng Zhiquan's face.
"No problem. Whatever I find in the future, I'll bring it here first."
Even with the transfer fee from Echo Antiques, it wasn't enough to fill the hole his son had dug, and he needed money for future living expenses. Feng Zhiquan was still worried about what to do next.
Now that he could still work in his old trade, finding items and then reselling them to Ye Su, he at least had a way to make a living.
He wasn't in a rush regarding Wan Yuanliang. Ye Su didn't believe that the old abacus he had received just yesterday would be bought by someone else today.
After Feng Zhiquan left, Ye Su first changed the lock on the shop door with the one he had prepared beforehand, then drove to the Public Security Bureau.
After collecting the official seal and the financial seal, Ye Su hurried off to the bank to set up a corporate account for Disc Game Studio.
After completing the account opening procedures at the bank, the staff told Ye Su that the corporate account would take three working days to be processed.
"Fine."
He wasn't in a rush for a day or two anyway, so Ye Su agreed and left the bank.
Echo Antiques hadn't hired any staff yet and couldn't open for the next two days, so Ye Su wasn't in a hurry to pick up the business license.
"It's past four. Time to head to Bowen Antique Shop."
Ye Su rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and ordered two milk teas for pickup at a milk tea shop near Bowen Antique Shop, before stepping on the gas and driving toward the Antique Street.
After picking up the milk tea, Ye Su arrived at Bowen Antique Shop and pushed the door open to walk in.
There were no customers in the shop. Wan Yuanliang was looking at his phone, but upon hearing the door open, he thought a customer had arrived and immediately looked up.
"Oh, it's you."
Seeing that the person who arrived was Ye Su, Wan Yuanliang was not disappointed; on the contrary, he looked happy, assuming Ye Su had brought something good again. "Sit down."
After saying this, Wan Yuanliang began to size up Ye Su, who was walking over from the entrance.
However, apart from the milk tea bag in his hand, Wan Yuanliang didn't see Ye Su carrying anything else.
It seemed that what he was selling this time was a small item.
Small items were generally more expensive.
Would it be the jade pendant or a thumb ring?
Wan Yuanliang had already started wondering what good item Ye Su had brought him this time.
"Here." Ye Su placed the bag on the table. "Last time you came to my place, I didn't have any tea to treat you with, so I specifically brought you a cup of tea this time."
"Uh..." Wan Yuanliang looked at the milk tea with condensation on the outside of the bag, then looked at Ye Su. "The f*** do you call this tea?"
"Why wouldn't it count?" Ye Su said righteously. "I specifically picked a shop that makes milk tea with real tea leaves."
"Fine..."
Seeing Ye Su like this, Wan Yuanliang didn't even have the energy to argue. After opening the milk tea bag and finding that both cups were the same, he picked one at random and stabbed the straw in fiercely.
Seeing this, Ye Su also took the other cup of milk tea, poked it open, and took a sip.
"Alright." Wan Yuanliang chewed on the toppings in his drink and said, "I've had the milk tea, now take the item out."
"Item?" Ye Su looked blank, his eyes clear. "What item?"
"What else could it be?" Wan Yuanliang said irritably. "Obviously the item you're here to sell."
"Ah?" Ye Su paused. "I don't have anything to sell."
"What?" Now it was Wan Yuanliang's turn to be stunned. "Then why are you here?"
"Didn't I say I came to have tea with you?" After realizing what Wan Yuanliang was thinking, Ye Su looked aggrieved. "dude, that's going too far. If I'm not selling anything, I can't even come and sit with you for a while?"
"How could that be?" Realizing he had been too presumptuous, Wan Yuanliang felt a bit awkward and could only offer a smiling face to Ye Su. "You can come whenever you want. Just treat this place like your own home."
"Alright, I'll treat it like my own home." Hearing this, Ye Su took the opportunity to stand up. "I've always been able to take whatever I want from my own home."
Saying this, Ye Su walked toward one of the shelves.
As early as when he entered the shop, Ye Su had already seen the blue light emitting from this shelf; clearly, the abacus was placed on this shelf.
Wan Yuanliang was accustomed to Ye Su's unserious, joking manner. At this moment, thinking he was just goofing around as usual, he immediately patted his chest generously. "Take whatever you want. I, your brother, already said, just treat this place like your own home."
"Good." Ye Su arrived in front of the shelf, pretended to look around for a while, and then picked up the abacus. "This abacus is not bad; I'll take it."
"Ah?"
Seeing Ye Su actually pick it up, Wan Yuanliang immediately turned into Louis Koo: "You're actually taking it?"
