“No rush, no rush.”
Afterward, Li Chonglou asked the shop owner again about Du Yun, and the information was not much different from what he had heard before: a rich man who liked to collect strange and bizarre items.
Yes, the impressions of this grandfather and grandson were completely opposite in the eyes of the town residents.
For Du Tian, they mostly complained, but for Du Yun, everyone liked him.
Kind, easy-going, and helpful were the characteristics mentioned by the residents. In summary, he was gentle, kind, and humble.
Li Chonglou remained silent, only nodding in agreement.
If it weren't for the incident with the three young people earlier, he might have completely believed what these people said, but now he was more cautious.
Whether the three people were telling the truth or lying, there was always a reason for everything. This person named Du Yun was either pretending to be kind in front of others, or he was plotting something behind their backs.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a strange man walked over.
“Who has goods?”
Li Chonglou frowned as he looked at the man. He had seen Du Yun in the market, and it was obvious that this person was not him.
However, he quickly understood the meaning. Of course, if he personally came to anyone who said they had goods, he might not even be able to eat that day.
With this thought, Li Chonglou took the initiative to say, “It’s me, but the goods are not here for now.”
The other party, being experienced, directly asked, “Do you have samples or photos?”
“Yes, I do.”
As Li Chonglou opened his phone, when it came to antiques, the photos stored in his software were enough to hold an appraisal conference. However, unlike what he said, every item in them was genuine!
Li Chonglou opened his collection album, and the man actively leaned closer. With just a glance, his eyes lit up.
“Friend, are all of yours real?”
Li Chonglou was stunned for a moment. The other party, seeing his reaction, realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself, “I mean, are all the goods in your photos in your possession?”
Li Chonglou nodded, then selected a few photos that included himself. The man immediately became convinced.
“How about this, you follow me, and I’ll take you to talk to the boss?”
The man’s words were filled with excitement. Although Li Chonglou had only shown him a few photos, each one was a masterpiece. Even looking at the photos, it was hard to tell the genuine from the fake!
Just this fact alone was enough to show its value!
However, Li Chonglou’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Boss?”
He had never heard that Du Yun had opened a company, and Zhou Tong’s investigation had not revealed this. Therefore, Li Chonglou’s first reaction to the boss mentioned by the man was that he was not Du Yun’s person.
But the man’s words made him a little surprised.
“Yes, weren’t you looking to buy from the boss?”
It was obvious that the boss the man was referring to was Du Yun!
This was a bit awkward. Li Chonglou cleared his throat and changed the subject, “I mean, I didn’t bring these goods with me. Now I only have photos to show.”
The man suddenly understood and smiled, saying, “That’s not a problem. Generally, as long as the photos pass, there won’t be much of an issue, unless you’re a scammer. But distinguishing these things is my specialty.”
“I can tell the quality of the goods you have, friend!”
As the man spoke, he patted Li Chonglou on the shoulder, looking trusting.
Li Chonglou looked at him with some surprise, not expecting to find such a talented person who could tell if it was a scam just by looking.
However, this was good. All his pictures were genuine. Using good to replace bad was like a dimensionality reduction attack!
Thus, Li Chonglou smoothly met the seemingly refined young man again.
It was a newly built apartment building located within a residential area. However, judging from the entrance, it was clear that the entire apartment belonged to a single person.
A sign with the name “Xing Hui Company” was hung at the entrance.
After entering, the interior decoration was proper and unremarkable. The man led him all the way to the fifth floor, where he met the other person in an office.
To his surprise, before he could speak, he heard the other party exclaim first.
“It’s you?”
Seeing the surprised expression on Du Yun’s face, Li Chonglou’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“You’ve seen me?”
At the market, he was sure Du Yun had not seen him. At that time, he couldn’t even handle the enthusiasm of those people, let alone notice him standing in the corner.
So, where did this surprise come from?
For a moment, Li Chonglou’s vigilance was raised, as this scene had exceeded his expectations.
Du Yun didn’t think much about it and said directly, “We met once. Do you remember Xiao Feng?”
Li Chonglou was stunned.
Xiao Feng? He seemed to have some impression of this name.
However, Li Chonglou couldn’t remember it for a moment. Too many things had happened during his return. There were also many people he had only met once or hadn’t noticed at all, so it was difficult for him to remember everyone.
Du Yun smiled faintly and reminded him, “At the coffee shop, the one who tried to scam you with a replica and was exposed by you.”
Li Chonglou didn’t remember the name, but when Du Yun said this, he immediately remembered the few peculiar people he had encountered at that time.
However, he remembered that Du Yun was not present at the scene at that time.
“If you say so, I do remember, but I recall you weren’t present at the time, right?”
Du Yun nodded, “I was indeed not present when the incident happened, but Xiao Feng took me to watch the surveillance footage afterward, and that’s how I found out.”
“Watch the surveillance footage?”
“That replica was mine, and it was the best one in my collection.”
Li Chonglou fell silent.
What the hell was this? Did I accidentally offend someone?
Li Chonglou dared not speak for a while, as he was still unsure of Du Yun’s purpose in saying this.
Fortunately, Du Yun didn’t seem to hold it against him. He smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous, friend. Xiao Feng helped me a lot in the past. I should have thanked you for that incident.”
A little confused, he decided to wait and see!
Li Chonglou looked directly at Du Yun, who continued to explain, “He was indebted to me, but he also kept threatening me to do this and that using this. I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to repay this favor and settle with him.”
At this point, Li Chonglou understood instantly. It turned out that his actions had helped him successfully get rid of the other party’s entanglement.
With this thought, Li Chonglou was relieved. It seemed that he hadn’t offended the other party, but had unintentionally helped him. Perhaps the subsequent conversation would be smoother!
“So that’s how it is. It seems that Mr. Du and I are truly destined.”
Du Yun also smiled and said, “I also didn’t expect such a coincidence. By the way, I heard you have a batch of superior goods?”
