Chapter 9: The Heart of Regret

"Boss, what is the matter with you?" Sun Ming still wore that servile expression. He had just finished cleaning the Treasure Hall and, knowing that Boss Zhou was waiting to lock the door, hurriedly walked out. However, he did not expect to see the scene of the boss slapping himself in the face as soon as he stepped out of the Treasure Hall.

"Wang Ke? Damn Wang Ke, what exactly did he do?" Sun Ming clenched his fists tightly, looking at Zhou Bapi's back with a gaze full of resentment. This resentment was not only directed at Zhou Bapi but also at Wang Ke.

What is a magical instrument

I really didn't expect it. Usually known for his shrewdness, Li Daqian, who is often likened to a fox, also has his moments of oversight. He deserves it! This scoundrel, who spends all day daydreaming, has long been someone I couldn't stand. What was it that I used to say? This is called: the cycle of justice, the law of cause and effect. Ha ha ...

This bastard drove away a master himself

Liu Gang quietly listened to Wang Ke's words and held this young man in even higher regard.

He hid in his own shop, which was undoubtedly a tremendous blessing for him. Why did I fail to recognize such a great opportunity and drive him away? Did I bump my head against the door frame? Or has my mind gone awry?

The colleague who had just ignored his boasting due to his daze, upon seeing many people come in to inquire about the matter, suddenly felt greatly satisfied and began to boast extravagantly, to the extent that in his words, Wang Ke truly became his god of wealth

Outside the bank, Liu Gang, who had just completed a transaction, looked at Wang Ke, who wore a bitter smile, and sighed: "Brother, human plans cannot compare to the heavens' plans! I never expected that the staff in the shop would spread the news about your intention to sell magical artifacts. This matter is entirely my fault, but perhaps it is for the best; at least now everyone will know you are a master, and they will all respect you."

This young man before me is remarkable

Ritual implements

The location of Shangbao Hetushu .com .com Xuan is considered the best along the entire antique street, thus many people pass through the main entrance

... ...

The wheel of feng shui turns, and this year it has turned to his home, but it is the misfortune of feng shui! Haha ... ...

Shangbaoxuan has a total of four assistants, and they often engage in intrigue and rivalry, each wanting to stand out and gain the manager's favor. Therefore, upon hearing Li Daqian's question, one assistant, with a smug expression, glanced proudly at the other three not far from him and said, "What else could he do? That person is our local god of wealth; he is here to sell magical artifacts. Moreover, let me tell you, today is already the second time he has come to sell magical artifacts, and I have been making a profit..."

Deep regret has taken up residence in every corner of his heart

When did such a master appear here? Selling magical artifacts twice a day, could it be that he obtained them by chance? This is simply unbelievable

Although he was quite dissatisfied with that colleague, he still felt it was excessive to lose his job over such a trivial matter, as he understood the difficulties of being a subordinate and was well aware of the frustration of being dismissed.

"Buddy, may I ask you something? What was that young man doing at Shangbaoxuan just now?" Li Daqian inquired as he saw the attendant coming down from the second floor, while Wang Ke, who had gone up with him, had not come down.

The two pedestrians stopped in their tracks, and one of them said: "It is absolutely true. That Wang Ke is very young, seemingly not even twenty years old, truly very young. He picks up treasures twice a day, and they are all magical artifacts. If you don't believe it, you can casually ask anyone; they have already sold magical artifacts at Shangbaoxuan twice today."

Upon seeing Li Daqian's foolish appearance and hearing his incessant mutterings, many people became curious and flocked to Shang https : / / www.hetushu .com .com Baoxuan to inquire about the matter.

Zhou Bapi slapped himself hard on the face, the pain and the feeling of anguish made him shiver

The corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times, and he slapped Sun Ming across the face, pointing at his nose and angrily scolding, "You bastard, it's all because of you. Otherwise, how could Wang Ke have been driven away by me? It's all your slander. You've infuriated me, truly infuriated me. Our previous agreement is null and void. If you want to work for me, the salary is redefined at 1,500, 1,500 per month. If you are willing to work, then work; if not, get lost." Our previous agreement is null and void. If you want to work for me, the salary is redefined at 1,500, 1,500 per month. If you are willing to work, then work; if not, get lost.

Seeing his disheveled appearance now, it is already commendable not to add insult to injury

Forget it! That guy doesn't even know that I want to deliberately conceal this matter; ignorance is no excuse. Brother Liu, let's just skip the drinking; I have some other matters to attend to. We'll find an opportunity in the future!" Wang Ke said.

A bronze Buddha statue, which was a ceremonial artifact, was sold by him for 100 yuan, leaving him completely bewildered as he only valued money.

Not for fame, but solely for profit

Snap ... ...

Liu Gang, being astute, naturally noticed Wang Ke's dissatisfaction. In order to win over this long-term client, he patted Wang Ke on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother Wang, today's matter is entirely my fault. How about this: today, I will treat you to a meal as an apology. Tomorrow, I will have that publicity guy fired."

He did not know how he had walked out of Shangbaoxuan, for as he left the door of Shangbaoxuan, he was still murmuring about his "bronze Buddha statue ritual implement"

Bastard! That is my treasure

Selling legal instruments

Zhou Bapi was stunned, standing there like a wooden chicken, until those two people left far away with a sigh, he finally came to his senses from his daze

Wang Ke laughed and said, "It is often said that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. I have already made two trips to Shangbaoxuan and sold two magical artifacts at hetushu.com. If others find out, it might have an impact on me! It would also affect our future cooperation, so I would like to ask Brother Liu to help me keep this a secret"

Indeed! That guy has daydreamed quite a lot, but he has never managed to obtain anything real. The only time he might have gotten something genuine, it was probably picked up by that young man named Wang Ke! It truly reflects the saying: "Those who often walk by the river, how can they avoid getting their shoes wet?" Li Daqian, that fellow, usually spends his days scheming about this and that, yet now he has been outsmarted by someone else.

Amid the strange gazes of passersby nearby, Zhou Bapi once again gave himself a resounding slap across the face.

I have made up my mind; I must take that young man as my teacher. If I can learn even a few of his skills, it will be enough for me to enjoy a prosperous life in the future

What has been happening to me lately? Why do I keep experiencing a string of misfortunes? Could it be that I am under the influence of a bad star?

No problem, today's matters are known to heaven, earth, you, and me. Liu Gang laughed heartily

As rumors proliferated, Wang Ke became increasingly enigmatic in the eyes of the public, to the extent that later, unbeknownst to him, he had already attained the status of a national-level master.

bronze Buddha statue

Why didn't I realize that the bronze Buddha statue was a ritual implement? If I had discovered it back then, I would have been the one to profit. What exactly does Wang Ke rely on to identify the bronze Buddha statue as a ritual implement?

What the two individuals do not know is that at this very moment, an unexpected scene is unfolding in the lobby of Shangbaoxuan on the first floor

You might as well stop dreaming; they probably wouldn't even look at you if they were interested in a sow

Outside the entrance of the Ju Bao Tang, Zhou Ba Pi, who was preparing to close up for the day, easily overheard the discussions of passersby. In particular, the name mentioned by one of them left him in a state of daze

After a while, he finally came to his senses and quickly caught up with the two people ahead from hetushu.com. With a smile on his face, he asked rapidly, "You two, the Wang Ke you just mentioned, who is he? How could he possibly find two treasures in one day? And each time it's a magical artifact; isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

In general, Li Daquan's character is not commendable, and everyone holds a strong dislike for him

Although it cannot be considered priceless, its price will still make countless people envious. He clearly remembers that little rascal Wang Ke, who bought that bronze Buddha statue for only 100 yuan, just 100 yuan!

Wang Ke had repeatedly entered several shops over the past two hours. During one of these visits, he was inadvertently spotted by Li Daqian, who had originally sold him the bronze Buddha statue. Consequently, Li Daqian secretly followed Wang Ke, wanting to see what he was up to.

If he really picks up two treasures in one day, and both times they are magical artifacts, then he is truly remarkable! By the way, what was that kid's name? Wang Ke? How come we have never heard of such an impressive person before?

On the antique street, many people are familiar with each other, especially Li Daqian, who spends all day mingling on the antique street; most people know him

How much is a piece of magical equipment worth? It is likely that it is worth over 100,000, right? What is the difference between 100 and 100,000? That is a full 1,000 times the difference!

By the way, the magical artifact that was sold later is said to have been sold to him by Li Daquan. It seems to be a bronze Buddha statue. Now, Li Daquan is filled with regret, wishing he could turn back time. If it weren't for the fact that the goods sold are no longer related to him in any way, he might have wanted to confront that young man named Wang Ke with all his might.

"Brother Wang, feel free to speak your mind. I, Liu Gang, will do my utmost to fulfill it." Liu Gang was equally delighted after spending 150,000 to purchase the bronze Buddha statue, as the profit from selling this statue could exceed 10,000. Although he and Tu Shuran were merely the managers and appraisal experts here, they still received a considerable share of the profits.

Filled with regret, he felt as if his insides had turned green.

Like a gust of wind, it quickly became known throughout the antique street that a young master had appeared here, named Wang Ke. This remarkable individual finds hidden treasures twice a day, and each time it is a magical artifact

Li Daquan stared blankly at the attendant before him, having lost the ability to hear the latter's words. It was as if his soul had departed, and he murmured to himself: "My bronze Buddha statue is a magical instrument? My bronze Buddha statue is a magical instrument..."

I would rather not have this respect

Wang Ke secretly scoffed in his heart, forcing a bitter smile as he nodded, which served as a response to Liu Gang

After a furious outburst, he locked the door and left, leaving Sun Ming covering his face, his expression full of frustration.

Zhou Bapi's expression was dominated by anger and deep regret

He truly regrets it, regretting that he did not purchase the bronze Buddha statue; such a tremendous bargain was seized by that little scoundrel Wang Ke. He regrets even more that, being such a talented individual, he allowed himself to be driven away. Reflecting on the fist marks that guy left on his locust wood table, as well as the two magical artifacts he acquired today, it is clear that he is indeed a master of hidden depths.

I actually ended up making a mistake myself

Zhou Bapi's gaze shifted to Sun Ming's face, which had suddenly appeared before him. Looking at this servile expression, his inner fury intensified. If it weren't for this scoundrel whispering in his ear, spouting nonsense and slandering Wang Ke, how could he have driven Wang Ke away?

Observing his current disheveled appearance, many of his acquaintances speculated that the young man named Wang Ke had successfully taken advantage of Li Daquan. Immediately, everyone looked at Li Daquan's back with a sense of glee, their faces filled with mockery and disdain

Wang Ke slightly furrowed his brows; Liu Gang's words displeased him.
