Chapter: 6369

"As Cheng listened up to here, he was shocked into silence, then quickly said, 'Second Brother, calm down! I didn't mean to cause any trouble. Today I heard that the item sold for two million yuan, and I'm really struggling with it. This business is a group effort, and we all take risks together. After so many years, I've also lost out on this deal...'

"Second Brother glared at Cheng, saying, 'I don't understand why you people can't just follow the rules. No matter what the item sells for, it's all about buying low and selling high. What do you not get about that?'"

"As Second Brother thought of Xiao Chang Kun, his anger became even more unbearable, and he asked Cheng, 'You're a fake goods expert, but if you get caught, you'll be lucky to get out in 10 years! And yet you still have the nerve to call me and ask for help after selling that copper Buddha statue for two million yuan. Are you really that stupid?'"

"As Cheng's teacher coughed awkwardly, 'I... I... I didn't mean to cause any trouble. Today I heard that the item sold for two million yuan, and my heart is racing...'"

"Second Brother cursed, 'You're worried? You're crazy! What kind of logic do you have in this industry? Do you think Zhou's family would give back their two-million-yuan item to me? People make a profit by finding loopholes and making two million. Why should they return it? You guys are really stupid, or you've made so much money that you're willing to throw your brains away? Use the eight-point-five-kilogram weight on your shoulder to think about this. If you sell something like this, would you want to take it back? Would you rather spend a million to hire someone to kill all the people who are trying to get their hands on this item than give up two million?'"

"Cheng's teacher hesitated and said, 'You... You're not someone who does things for show, right? I was thinking that with your abilities, you could go ask Zhou's family for the item. Zhou's family would probably be too afraid to refuse...'"

"As Second Brother became even angrier, he shouted, 'Are you out of your mind?! Did you think that if you multiplied your losses by 10, I'd still help you get the item back? Do you think I don't know that this item is worth two million yuan? You're thinking about money to the point where you can't even follow basic logic!'"

"Cheng's teacher was scolded into silence and could only apologize profusely, saying 'Sorry, Second Brother. Sorry! I was out of my mind. Please don't take it to heart. Forget this incident. The item is gone, and I accept that. Don't do anything rash. If everything goes wrong, I'll be finished...'"

"Go away!' Second Brother growled, his teeth clenched. 'I'm telling you, Cheng's family, Zhang Erma has been in the antiques circle for so many years, but he hasn't made much money. He still follows the rules. You're not giving me a call to ask me to do this, and even if something goes wrong, I won't bother with you. But since you're calling me now, you've ruined my last bit of composure. If Chen Yu Fei kicks me out, I'll immediately kick you out too. When that time comes, I'll post your name, phone number, and address on social media, and may you seek good fortune!'"

"As soon as Second Brother hung up the phone, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Although he was used to the ups and downs of life and the complexities of human nature, he never thought that everyone would lose their basic limits when faced with two million yuan.

He also realized that the situation had developed to the point where it was like rolling a snowball down a mountain, completely beyond his control."

"So, Zhang Erma no longer had any hopes. He picked up his phone and dialed Leaf's number.

At this moment, Leaf was at the Xiangxi Lixun Hotel, suddenly seeing Zhang Erma calling him. He was taken aback first, then roughly guessed the intention behind Zhang Erma's call.

He then connected the call, smiling and asked, 'Erma, do you have something to ask?'"

..."I'm telling you, Leaf Master, I made a mistake by myself...'

"...and so forth, without any concealment, Zhang Erma told Leaf everything that had happened on the phone.

Leaf listened and asked Zhang Erma, 'You didn't tell me when you were planning this; you didn't tell me when you were implementing it; after the fact, you still didn't tell me. Now that things have gotten out of your control, what do you want to achieve by telling me? Do you hope I can help you get out of trouble or ask my father-in-law not to chase you for that 2 million yuan bronze Buddha again?'"

Zhang Erma hastily said, 'Leaf Master, I'm confessing to you. I don't dare to expect you to help me solve any problems. I just feel that I owe it to you and Fifth Uncle's patronage, so before this matter is exposed, I want to tell you everything. Whether you and Fifth Uncle decide how to punish me, I have no complaints. As for Mr. Shao, I will definitely find a way to compensate his losses and not put you in difficulty...'

Leaf Master coldly sneered and said, 'You got him to swindle people and helped him earn 20,000 yuan. What loss does he have?'

"I've got it, I've got it... it's been sold for two million yuan by Zhou Liangyun..."

Leaf Master said, "Zhang Erma, I took you in and let you work for Hong Wu mainly because you're smarter than most people. But your cleverness needs to be used in the right place. What practical significance does it have when you try to please my father-in-law? Do you really think he would speak well of you in front of me if you do that, and I would look up to you?"

Leaf Master's words struck a chord, and Zhang Erma finally realized the enormity of his mistake.

However, he also sensed that Leaf Master didn't seem to intend to take advantage of this situation to get rid of him. So he quickly asked him, "Leaf Master, what should I do now? Please guide me..."

Leaf Master replied calmly, "It's very simple. As a man, when you make a mistake, you should be brave enough to face it and not wait for Chen Yuifei to expose you. Instead, take responsibility for your actions and publicly announce everything you've done, then go apologize to Zhou Liangyun." JrNovels.com
