Chapter 8, What a bold claim!

Indeed, I now seriously suspect that you are favored by fortune, as you managed to select a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain from a heap of antiques. Jin Fatty stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, wearing an expression of envy and jealousy.

Engineering quality! Chuyang said in a faint voice: "The main structure of the building has no issues with the steel and concrete, but during the decoration, someone used substandard decorative materials. The person responsible for the materials happens to be your cousin, and it was not the workers who died, but rather the quality supervisor, right?"

Chu Yang secretly shook his head, realizing that his age indeed made him too easily suspected. However, from the moment Wang Xuebin entered the private room, Chu Yang began to observe the aura of his fortune.

At this moment, Chu Yang felt refreshed and did not mind taking a look for the plump Jin. Unfortunately, more than half of the items in his bag were counterfeit goods, and the few genuine items were mostly Qianlong Tongbao copper coins worth around several thousand yuan. However, there was one painting that caught his attention.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Jin Pangzi called someone to cash a check, directly transferring 2,800,000 to Chu Yang's bank account. According to his instructions, he brought out 100,000 in cash, packed together in a briefcase.

Chuyang smiled slightly and said, "This should not be a problem, but I cannot guarantee that I can resolve his troubles. It should not be too difficult to discern fortune from misfortune!"

Mr. Wang, if you are willing to trust me, I am willing to help solve this!" Chu Yang's expression slightly changed, and he proactively offered, "The trouble you are facing now can be significant or minor; if it is significant, it could lead to the inability to pass the acceptance of the property, and if it is minor, it can be resolved with a little compensation.

"This one will do." Chu Yang pointed to the painting, which depicted a distant and ethereal landscape of clouds and mountains. It was valued at over 100,000, thus satisfying Jin Pangzi's interest

A flicker of displeasure crossed Wang Xuebin's eyes as he raised his wrist to check the time, and said somewhat impatiently: "Everyone is aware of the issues that have arisen with our Xiangnan Construction Company, and I sincerely apologize for that. However, your words do not move me. If you need money, feel free to state an amount and we can see..."

At this point, it is equivalent to a direct showdown. Wang Xuebin made it clear that he only agreed to come to give Jin Panzai some face. If Chu Yang were to open his mouth with exorbitant demands, he would undoubtedly leave immediately

"Fine, I won't help you choose antiques next time, you can pick for yourself." Chu Yang teased lightly, as this fellow had often boasted in front of him before

Jin Pangzi spoke about various matters concerning that boss, so Chu Yang listened attentively. Afterward, the two engaged in some casual conversation, which was nothing more than trivial chatter. Half an hour later, a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit was led into the private room by a waiter, and the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose gave off a very capable impression

Jin Pangzi nodded, then took out his phone and made a call. However, the person on the other end was quite surprised and seemed somewhat reluctant to come, but could not resist Jin Pangzi's warm invitation, agreeing to arrive in half an hour

Wang Xuebin frowned; after all, he was the head of a construction company. How dare a mere young man in his twenties act so arrogantly in front of him? He disdainfully remarked, "I fear that some people are just talking nonsense, aren't they?"

Chu Yang curled his lips, this fellow is indeed a friend of dog meat

"Since you have said so, can I still refuse?" Chu Yang smiled knowingly; often, true friends do not need to say much.

Upon hearing this, Jin Pangzi quickly picked up a piece of dog meat, renowned for its title of "Supreme Kidney Treasure," with his chopsticks and placed it into Chu Yang's bowl. With a smile that seemed to seek favor, he said, "Buddy, you can't do this to me. Next time, I'll have you help me choose!"

After hanging up the phone, Jin Pangzi's eyes sparkled with a glimmer of anticipation as he excitedly said: "He is the owner of a construction company and has just completed a new property. Unfortunately, just after the completion, a worker died, which has left him extremely anxious..."

What a bold statement!

Jin Pangzi is not an unreasonable brute; he naturally sensed that General Wang had a hint of reluctance. Thus, he chuckled and said: "General Wang, we just had a meal, so let's skip the drinks. I heard that your company has been facing some troubles recently. I wonder if you would be willing to invite Chuyang to take a look?"

Jin Pangzi grinned and nodded, eagerly taking the Yunshan painting for appraisal. As expected, this painting turned out to be a genuine antique worth approximately 130,000. In the end, he was so pleased that he refused to sell it, stating that he planned to take it home for his collection

Indeed, Chu Yang cannot deny Jin Pangzi's obsession with wealth, as this person's greed for money is not without reason; a long period of extravagant living has made him more aware of the significance of wealth. Of course, Chu Yang is also in great need of money

Wang Xuebin has a golden fortune above his head, nearly as thick as a thigh, and his net worth should be close to 100 million. However, his misfortune is about as thick as an arm, indicating that the company is indeed facing issues. Currently, this misfortune is manifesting in a swirling nebula-like phenomenon, gradually accumulating thread by thread, and it is estimated that it will fully erupt in less than half a month. At that time, not only will the properties he has built be unable to pass inspection, but the company itself will also be in jeopardy

When the table of dishes was nearly finished, Jin Pangzi set down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression: "A friend of mine has recently been plagued by bad luck, to the point that even drinking cold water gets food stuck in his teeth. Buddy, since you understand physiognomy, why not help me take a look? Perhaps we can make some money out of it!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became extremely tense, and it was evident that Wang Xuebin was very dissatisfied, but he refrained from leaving out of consideration for appearances

Such a person will not falter no matter where they go, and their speech is equally meticulous. The first sentence serves as a subtle insinuation that Chu Yang may be too young and lacks genuine talent and knowledge. From this, it can also be inferred that those who can be the boss of a construction company are not simple individuals

This fellow suddenly acquired dozens of old items, but he could only authenticate one piece on stage, which posed a challenge for the simple-minded yet physically strong Jin Fatty.

It is often said that with money one can travel the world, while without it one can hardly move an inch. The twenty-first century is indeed a society that laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes. Life is short, and Chu Yang also wishes to make his life more splendid

"Mr. Wang, please come in and take a seat. This is my buddy Chu Yang!" Jin Fatty first introduced Chu Yang, and then added, "This is Mr. Wang, whose full name is Wang Xuebin!"

Chu Yang主动伸出一只手打招呼道 : "Hello! General Manager Wang"

Next, one old item after another was brought up for appraisal, some for collection and others for immediate auction, though very few could reach a value of over one million. In total, it took about three hours, and the antique appreciation event concluded successfully.

Having exited the antique street, Jin Pangzi led Chu Yang directly to the resplendent Golden Splendor. After casually ordering a dozen or so dishes, this fellow began to prepare for a hearty feast.

Wang Xuebin nodded slightly, steadily extending his palm to shake hands with Chu Yang, and said with a faint smile: "This master looks quite young! As the saying goes, meeting is a form of fate; why don't we have a few drinks first and then see?" His words were accompanied by a beaming smile, giving a very cheerful and talkative impression.

Chu Yang's expression slightly darkened as he succinctly stated: "Mr. Wang, your company is quite good, but unfortunately, there are some pests. As for why someone jumped off a building, it is likely that someone discovered the hidden issues within the property, right? I say this because this matter has nothing to do with you"

I never expected that I would become a millionaire less than a month after graduating. Chu Yang placed his handbag on the table and said with a sense of emotion

There are many fraudsters in today's society, and various scams are emerging one after another, particularly in the sensitive areas of feng shui and fortune-telling, where one might encounter a scammer at any moment. Moreover, Chu Yang appears to be too young, which instinctively caused Wang Xuebin to furrow his brows

Wang Xuebin furrowed his brows and said, "If someone can help solve this trouble, I would certainly be willing to invite them. However, I have consulted some masters for fortune-telling in the past, but unfortunately, it was of no use. In any case, I am not very convinced of this now."

Bro, today I have truly opened my eyes; you really can pick out genuine antiques!" After the delicacies were served, the gluttonous Jin Fatty, with grease all over his mouth, patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and chuckled.

Wang Xuebin's expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Jin Pangzi remained silent, knowing that this was the effect that Chu Yang desired. If the problem for Wang Xuebin were resolved too easily, it was likely that he would not take it seriously. However, if he were to speak astonishingly, then Wang Xuebin would surely regard Chu Yang as extraordinary.

"Mr. Jin, is this the master you mentioned?" The middle-aged man smiled somewhat perfunctorily and walked straight into the private room, taking a seat with ease. However, his attitude suggested that he was not very willing to believe Chu Yang. If it weren't for the guarantee provided by the plump Mr. Jin, he probably wouldn't have even come.

"Who are we to each other!" Jin Pangzi slapped his thigh, a smug expression on his face as he chuckled and said, "This place is resplendent; even if you can't see clearly, it doesn't matter. With a brother like me around, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"

Chuyang shook his head and said slowly, "I do not need to quote a price. If I cannot solve the problem, I will take nothing. If I can solve the problem for you, you may give whatever amount you wish. At that time, you might worry that you have given too little, and it will leave you feeling uneasy"
