Chapter 1236: A Year-Ending Friendship
Antique Street is different from other streets. All the buildings have retained the ancient style and are quaint.
Jiang Nianmeng has taken over the antique shop opened by her father. She was wearing a peony cheongsam with large flowers and lying on a rocking chair in the shop, rocking back and forth. When she heard the footsteps of someone entering the shop, she still closed her eyes and did not even look at them. It seemed that she was not afraid of being stolen at all, because all the things on display were fake.
It was not until she noticed someone standing in front of her that she condescended to open her eyes and looked over. Her eyes lit up, "Boss Zhang? A rare guest."
Qiuyu got out of the car but did not go into the store. He quickly took out a cigarette and squatted at the door of the store to smoke.
Upon learning the purpose of Zhang Ran's visit, Jiang Nianmeng took out her treasured blue and white porcelain vase and sold it to her.
Zhang Ran did not bargain, but picked out a few pieces of jade as extras.
At that time, the price of jade had not yet skyrocketed, and Jiang Nianmeng didn't care at all. She generously gave Zhang Ran a few more pieces. After all, just one porcelain vase had made her earn more than one million.
After making an appointment with Mr. Deng, Zhang Ran went to visit him with a blue and white porcelain vase.
The old and the young sat in the study drinking tea and chatting, and soon became friends regardless of age.
Old Deng took out a magnifying glass and fondled the blue and white porcelain vase, admiring his beloved treasure, saying all the time, "It's a waste of money, it's just a small thing, it's not worth your spending so much money." In front of Zhang Ran, he called the president of the medical school and asked him to come out for dinner.
After booking the time and hotel address, Zhang Ran said goodbye and left.
As soon as she left, Deng Xiaoxiao rushed back. Upon learning that Zhang Ran had just left, she complained to Deng Lao, "Grandpa, why didn't you keep her for a while?"
Deng Lao's mind flashed with Zhang Ran's shrewd and capable appearance. Then he looked at his granddaughter who was acting like a child and immediately admitted her mistake: "It's Grandpa's fault. I should have kept her for a while longer. But it doesn't matter. Grandpa has made an appointment with the principal for her. You can go with her tomorrow."
When Deng Xiaoxiao heard that she would see Zhang Ran again tomorrow, she immediately calmed down and noticed the blue and white porcelain vase on the table. "Where did this come from? Could it be a gift from Zhang Ran?"
"I said I wouldn't accept it, but the girl insisted on giving it to me." Looking at his beloved treasure, Mr. Deng smiled from ear to ear, but he made a phone call and asked someone to come to his house to help him identify the authenticity of the blue and white porcelain vase.
After he hung up the phone, Deng Xiaoxiao frowned: "Zhang Ran is very generous, she won't give fake antiques."
Old Deng laughed, "Kid, how could grandpa not know what kind of person that girl is? Grandpa is worried that she will be cheated by outsiders. After all, she is a layman in the field of antiques. Looking back, your grandpa was also cheated in this regard." When he first came into contact with antiques, he was fooled not just once, but many times after he became fascinated by them.
Half an hour later, the person invited by Deng Lao came to the door. He stood up to greet him: "Master Jiang, I want to see you today..."
"Wait, isn't this my treasured blue and white porcelain vase? How come it is here with you?" Master Jiang rushed to the blue and white porcelain vase and examined it carefully.
"Ah?" Deng Lao was stunned for a moment, then he leaned over and asked, "Is this your treasure?"
After confirming that it was his treasured treasure, Master Jiang immediately looked up and questioned Deng Lao: "I locked this treasure in the safe, why is it with you? If you don't explain it clearly, I will think you stole it!"
Elder Deng looked at the angry Master Jiang and instead of getting angry, he was delighted: "Is this the precious porcelain vase that you have been refusing to let me see? Hahahaha!"
Seeing Master Jiang getting angry and trying to take the blue and white porcelain away, he immediately stepped forward to stop him: "This was given to me by someone else. If you take it away, I will call the police."
