439: Chapter 414 Famous 439: Chapter 414 Famous “Liu Hun,” Zhong Xiao warned Liu Hun, “our shop is now well-known, and having these items here might attract unwanted attention.”
Liu Hun agreed with Zhong Xiao, and said to him, “Don’t worry, I will arrange for private banking to set up several safety deposit boxes, where all the treasures will be kept.
When there is a high-profile customer in need of a transaction, I will be the one to handle it.”
“Great!” Zhong Xiao nodded.
After the crowd had dispersed, Zhong Xiao hurried his men to tidy and sort out both the inside and outside of the shop.
Now, as the nominal chairman of the antique company, he naturally had to be diligent.
Liu Hun, on the other hand, was in the backyard directing his boys to pack the treasures from the secret compartments, as well as some new items, into boxes.
He then called the private fund to arrange for the transportation of the goods, deciding that the safety boxes were the most secure place for them.
“Hello!” Just after Liu Hun hung up, Shi Qing’er bounced over to him.
“What’s up, Qing’er?” Liu Hun asked Shi Qing’er.
“You’ve still got plenty of nice stuff here!” Shi Qing’er remarked, eyeing the carefully boxed items.
Liu Hun immediately understood and said to Shi Qing’er with a smile, “Are you thinking about the jade bracelet?
Don’t worry, I will keep my promise to you.
It’s just that for now, I’m moving them to a safe place.”
“I…
I don’t want the jade bracelet anymore!” Shi Qing’er scuffed the ground with the tip of her foot, sneaking glances at Liu Hun, looking just like a little girl who lost a sesame seed but got a watermelon.
“Then what do you want?” Liu Hun directly asked her.
He had come to know about Shi Qing’er’s fondness for these accessories and was willing to indulge her without any reservation.
“I want…a heart!” Shi Qing’er said, biting her lip.
Seeing that Liu Hun didn’t catch on immediately, she explained, “I mean the Chicken Heart Red Jade.
It looks just like a heart.”
Liu Hun hesitated, not because he was reluctant to part with it, but because he had planned to have a top-notch craftsman polish it into a perfect heart shape as a gift for Shi Bi’er.
He hadn’t expected Shi Qing’er to take a liking to it.
“Do you not want to give it to me?” Shi Qing’er asked Liu Hun askew, and seeing that he hadn’t responded right away, she got angry and stamped her foot hard, saying, “Forget it then!
You miser!”
“Hey!
Qing’er!” Liu Hun reached out and grabbed Shi Qing’er, saying, “Alright, I’ll give it to you, but…
from now on, you can’t be too wilful, you have to be obedient.”
“Hehe!
That’s more like it!” Shi Qing’er didn’t even listen to the latter half of Liu Hun’s words, and immediately jumped up, her hands hanging from Liu Hun’s neck, shouting excitedly.
Liu Hun was completely at a loss, and it took a good while to calm Shi Qing’er down.
When the private banking staff arrived, they loaded all of Liu Hun’s rare treasures into the armored car, but left behind the Chicken Heart Red Jade after Liu Hun signed the paperwork.
“Do you want it just as is, or what?” Liu Hun asked Shi Qing’er, holding the Chicken Heart Red Jade.
Shi Qing’er said with a grin, “I want it to be made even more perfect, more like a heart.
To keep it by my pillow, so I can see it first thing every day…as a gift from you.”
Liu Hun didn’t hear Shi Qing’er’s last few whispered words, so he called Zhong Xiao over and said, “Zhong Xiao, take this Chicken Heart Red Jade.
Please find the best craftsman to polish it a bit, make it look more like a heart.”
“Sure, Liu Hun, you can count on me.
I’ll take care of it,” Zhong Xiao carefully took custody of the Chicken Heart Red Jade.
He never expected Liu Hun to trust him so much as to entrust him with such a valuable item.
“Liu…
Liu Hun, did you hear what I said…the last sentence?!” Shi Qing’er asked, extremely anxious, her heartbeat skyrocketing beyond a hundred.
Although she didn’t know how to face the answer, she still wanted to know.
“What?!
No, I didn’t hear.
What did you say?” Liu Hun asked, genuinely having missed it.
“You…” Shi Qing’er, looking at Liu Hun’s earnest face, realized he must not be lying, “Never mind!
If you didn’t hear it, then forget about it!
It’s your loss anyway…
Who knows when there will be a next time!” Shi Qing’er’s courage had already dissipated.
“Talking such nonsense, let’s go home.
We need to be patient and wait, get some rest to prepare for the big clients,” Liu Hun said as he left the shop.
Shi Qing’er uncomfortably followed suit and left as well.
Indeed, just as Liu Hun predicted, the event known as “Betting on Three Barriers,” which caused a stir on the old Fang Street, created an immense sensation in the antique world.
Not only did the earthly treasures amaze everyone, but they also attracted high-profile clients for Liu Hun.
Besides polishing the Chicken Heart Red Jade into a shape to give to Shi Qing’er, Liu Hun sold all the other items he had won from the “Gambling Three Passes,” and his cash flow suddenly became exceptionally abundant.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxiang happened to also make a phone call.
“Liu Broker, I’ve been looking at a new office building in South City, the rents all seem quite reasonable.
Why don’t you come and take a look?” Lin Xiaoxiang said on the other end of the phone.
“Sure, I’ll be right there.” Liu Hun hung up the phone and took Shi Qing’er with him.
South City is considered a bustling commercial area; most of the newly opened properties are commercial office buildings rather than residential buildings.
When Liu Hun arrived, he discovered that the office building, which was in an excellent commercial center, had just been launched.
It was originally a vocational and technical school, but because the location was prime real estate, the school was relocated, and an office building was erected in its place.
“Wow, it looks so imposing!
Is this going to be my company’s office in the future?” Shi Qing’er took off her sunglasses, looking up at the tall building.
“Almost there.
Let’s go take a look,” said Lin Xiaoxiang, leading the two into the building.
Since the entire building had just opened, not a single floor had been sold yet, so Liu Hun and his companions had plenty of options.
The first floor of the office building was the sales hall.
As soon as the saleswoman saw the three of them come in, she warmly greeted them, “Hello, is there anything I can help you with?”
“We’re just looking around, please give us an introduction,” Lin Xiaoxiang said to the saleswoman with a smile.
The saleswoman immediately took the three of them to a scale model of the building and pointed at it, saying, “This is the location of our property, as you can see, it’s in a prime spot, convenient transportation, excellent geographical location, with subway and bus routes fully accessible!
Definitely the best choice for you.”
As she spoke, the saleswoman handed over a brochure to the three of them, which detailed the interior of the entire office building.
Pointing to one of the floors in the brochure, Lin Xiaoxiang said to Liu Hun, “I think the second floor is especially good.
Although it’s not that big, we’re just starting, and we don’t have many employees, so it should accommodate us sufficiently.
If it really can’t fit everyone, we could divert some space to a factory or something in the suburbs for equipment and materials.”
“It is a bit small, but if you think it’s good, then that’s fine,” Liu Hun said, studying the brochure.
Because it was originally a school, the floor area wasn’t very big, and due to its prime location, it couldn’t be built much larger.
Lin Xiaoxiang smiled faintly, surprised that Liu Hun was so accommodating with her decision.
If she had witnessed him during the “Gambling Three Passes” a few days prior, she would realize his easygoing nature had surpassed human limits—a priceless Chicken Heart Red Jade casually given to Shi Qing’er as a toy.
“Miss, how much is the rent for the second floor?” Lin Xiaoxiang asked the saleswoman.
Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiang say “rent,” the saleswoman’s face changed instantly, turning cold as she said, “Sorry, miss, our office building is in such a prime location, we’re not worried about being unable to sell, so before we have any issue with selling, we won’t consider renting, of course…” The saleswoman said haughtily, “And certainly, there’s no chance of us being unable to sell.”
Lin Xiaoxiang hadn’t anticipated getting snubbed just for asking, but she still patiently explained, “Miss, could you perhaps consider it, because our budget is really limited.”
“Ha!
If your budget is limited, then go to the suburbs!
It’s cheap there!
Though there’s nothing but wild grass, you should go there!
Parading around here without money—what a waste of my time!” The saleswoman, having said this, even snatched the brochure she had just given them and, with a haughty turn, walked away, leaving the three of them standing there.
“What the…she’s just selling houses, what’s with the attitude!
Really now!
We hadn’t even finished looking and she snatched it away,” Shi Qing’er commented, clearly displeased.
“Maybe I should try again.
I’ll go talk to their manager; there might still be a chance, right?
Such a great location, I really don’t want to give up,” Lin Xiaoxiang said to Liu Hun, still eager to make an effort despite the humiliation.
Just as Liu Hun was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the saleswoman who had snubbed them running over with a beaming smile.
While he was wondering why, the saleswoman ran past them, heading straight for a woman who had arrived behind them.
“Welcome!
Oh my…
You…
You’re Xie Caiye!
The big star, Ms.
Xie!
Hello!
Hello!
I just love the TV dramas you’re in!” The saleswoman said, eyes sparkling with stars, to the woman wearing a mink shawl.
Liu Hun turned and saw a woman dressed up like a wealthy lady, with heavy makeup, a proud and self-satisfied air about her, accompanied by a slightly overweight man wearing a thick gold chain around his neck.
“That woman is the TV star Xie Caiye; her recent TV dramas have been very popular.
As for the man beside her, I don’t know who he is,” Lin Xiaoxiang told Liu Hun, standing beside him.
“She doesn’t look like a good woman, with that snobbish face swathed in so much makeup, almost like a zombie,” Shi Qing’er said sharply.
“The two of you are looking to buy a place?” the saleswoman asked the pair after a bout of flattery.
Xie Caiye looked at the man next to her with a tender gaze and said, “Li Ge, you decide.”
The man referred to as Li Ge was actually a coal mine tycoon named Hong Dali.
He chuckled “Heh heh,” his roving hands pinching the woman’s behind before saying to the saleswoman, “We’ll buy!”
Immediately beaming, the saleswoman addressed the two of them, “Please follow me, this way!” She then led the way ahead with respectful deference.
