238 Boss Zhao
After these few times, Gu Man was more or less familiar with the ghost market. She walked forward and turned a corner to a shop that stood out from the other stalls.
Lu You had never been to the ghost market before. He looked at the dazzling decorations of this shop and then at the other rags placed by the roadside. He poked Jiang Yi curiously. “Brother Yi, why is this shop different from the others?”
“Do you see the words on the plaque? The Appraiser Hall.”
The name of the shop was easy to understand. It was the largest shop in the Ghost Market that bought treasures.
Firstly, it was because the influence of the behind-the-scenes boss was not simple. Secondly, the boss had sharp eyes. Basically, no treasure could escape his eyes.
There were many hidden gems in the Ghost Market that were dug out by this boss and sold at auction. This also led to his business growing and he had a place in the Ghost Market.
Jiang Yi had just finished explaining the origins of the Appraiser Hall to Lu You when she saw a familiar person standing at the door. It was Du Fei.
He immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, grabbing his collar. “I haven’t settled the score with you last time. I brought a friend to your stall, but you actually tricked her. How can you do business like this?!”
Du Fei was chatting happily with Boss Zhao, who was beside him. He was still a little stunned when someone suddenly grabbed his collar. When he saw the person’s face clearly, he was indignant. “What right do you have to say that I tricked her? My place is full of genuine treasures. If you don’t believe me, look for Boss Zhao to appraise it.”
Only then did Jiang Yi notice that there was a man in a robe beside him who was smiling at him. He patted his protruding stomach and looked kind. “Du Fei, you tricked someone again?”
“Boss Zhao, you can’t say that. There’s no such thing as a trick in business. Moreover, the Ghost Market is particular. It’s about the fun of opening blind boxes. We’ve already handed the money and goods over, so how can we return them?”
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth in anger, but he knew that he was indeed a little unreasonable, but he really did not want to hurt Gu Man’s confidence. Although she had extraordinary attainments in stone gambling, finding treasures was different from stone gambling.
Some treasures could be faked. Moreover, Du Fei’s situation that day had already proved that the ceramic in Gu Man’s hand was fake.
He let go and patted Du Fei’s shoulder. “I won’t argue with you this time. Get lost quickly.”
“Okay.”
Du Fei was not angry. He had been in the ghost market for so long, and this was not the first time he had encountered such a thing. He was used to being shameless.
After Du Fei left, Gu Man and the other two walked over. Xiao Xiao and Lu You did not know about Jiang Yi and Du Fei’s relationship and looked at his back curiously.
“Brother Yi, what’s your relationship with that person? Did he provoke you?” Lu You asked curiously.
“Nothing.”
Jiang Yi was annoyed at the thought of this. He waved his hand and walked to the side with Boss Zhao in his arms. He turned around and looked at Gu Man. “Go in first. I’ll talk to Boss Zhao.”
Gu Man and the other two did not suspect anything and entered first.
In order to show how rich the Appraiser Hall was, there were many expensive decorations in the hall.
Xiao Xiao and Lu You looked at the exquisite and strangely shaped ornaments and instantly forgot about Jiang Yi. They looked around curiously and touched it.
At the door, Jiang Yi started chatting with Boss Zhao. Even if Jiang Yi placed his hand on Boss Zhao’s shoulder, he did not show any signs of anger. Instead, the smile on his face became even brighter.
“You’re Du Fei’s friend? Why are you looking for me?”
“Boss Zhao, I’m just discussing a business deal with you. My friend bought a stupid bowl from Du Fei. You know what kind of person Du Fei is. I can tell from his expression that it’s not a good treasure. Raise the price higher later. Tens of thousands. I’ll make up for the excess. It’s mainly because she’s a girl and I don’t want her to suffer a blow,” Jiang Yi said.
“Girlfriend?”
Boss Zhao did not agree. He only smiled and asked a completely unrelated question.
Jiang Yi blushed. He neither denied nor admitted it. “Boss Zhao, tell me, are you going to do this business?”
