Chapter: 831
Those words were simply outrageous. The men in the black suits were instantly enraged. They raised their clubs, eager for Renee�s blood, and threatened, �She can insult us, but if she dares to insult our boss, then she needs to be put in her place!�
�Go ahead,� said Renee with an anticipating smirk.
�Put me in my place.� Renee clenched her fingers, eager to see how this would play out. It was a great opportunity to figure out how strong Carmine Pawnshop actually was, given its terrifying reputation. At the same time, this would give her some confidence when she tried to negotiate a good price with Mr. Q, their boss, later.
�Everyone, back down!�
A man�s voice was heard coming from behind the crowd. It was a surprisingly gentle and refined voice, perfectly calm, and somewhat youthful.
Seconds later, a handsome young man clad in a pale white coat walked up from the crowd, holding a fan in his hand.
�Mr. Cheever!� the man in the black suit immediately bowed reverentially as he saw the young man.
The young man elegantly let out a long sigh before saying, �How many times do I have to tell you? Carmine Pawnshop is a respectable business establishment. We must always present ourselves as warm and friendly, and we must remain civilized. If any dispute arises, we must deal with it with good communication� Put away your clubs. You�re scaring the good people here.�
�Yes, sir!�
The burly men then proceeded to put their weapons away. It was clear that this young man held a high position in the Carmine Pawnshop�s hierarchy.
Renee eyed him up and down before she mockingly teased, �Now that�s more like it! A mild-mannered gentleman that�s more in line with Carmine Pawnshop�s image!�
The young man smiled to himself before reaching out his hand and saying, �Pleasure to meet you, Miss. My name is Chase Cheever. I am the person in charge of Carmine Pawnshop. I must beg for your forgiveness on behalf of my men here. They are uneducated, so they always resort to brute force. I am deeply sorry.�
Seeing that the person in charge seemed so polite and humble, Renee�s attitude quickly turned serious.
�Don�t mention it, don�t mention it. I was only butting heads with your people because I saw an injustice taking place, but I also happen to have business matters to attend to with your boss. Do you mind introducing me to him?�
�Well�� Chase smiled apologetically. �Our boss is usually extraordinarily busy. There is no telling where he could be. I�m not saying that you can�t meet him, but only those who have brought exceptionally rare and priceless goods, or something exceedingly interesting, would have a chance to meet him in person.�
This reminded Chase of the woman who had brought a little boy to his boss not too long ago. His boss dropped everything and even went out to appraise the �goods� in person himself. That boy turned out to be a true diamond in the rough, but before he had any chance to properly polish him, his boss inexplicably let the boy go. He really had no idea what his boss was thinking. It was such a shame to lose such a rare find!
�Don�t worry,� Renee assured him with full confidence. �I have no doubts that your boss will be interested in what I�m about to pawn because it is truly one of its kind.�
�I wouldn�t be so sure, Miss. My boss has a much keener eye than I do. He�s seen all kinds of rare treasures under the sun. It won�t be an easy feat to pique his interest��
As he finished his sentence, he added with curiosity, �Perhaps you would consider showing me your treasure so I can take a good look? If it turns out to be really precious, then I might recommend it to our boss. Please forgive us for being so tight with the rules, but our boss really is so very busy��
Renee spread out her arms and in a helpless tone replied, �I�m sorry. What I�m pawning is too hard to show. All I can do is make a guarantee that your boss will definitely take a liking to it. You should take a plunge and give me a chance. If he really likes it, he might even give you a generous bonus.� JrNovels.com
