123: Chapter 123: If One Is Humble, Then They Are Invincible in the World!
It was clear that the jade bracelet had an opening price of half a million, but its actual value exceeded one million.
To double one’s money with a flip of the hand, what a great deal it would be to forgo!
“Young friend, I have taken a liking to this jade bracelet.
I can pay you five hundred thousand in cash right now.
Please, be so kind as to let me have it,” Tang Sanqiu said earnestly.
Ning Fan glanced at the crowd and shook his head with a smile, “Mr.
Tang, I bought this bracelet because I liked it and I don’t plan to sell it.
Please forgive me.”
Seeing that Ning Fan had no intention of selling, Tang Sanqiu also felt a pang of regret.
He could see clearly that the value of the jade bracelet was not too high, but it was nonetheless a decent antique.
But since the other party did not want to sell, he could not force the issue, so he had to drop it.
Tang Sanqiu sighed, handed the jade bracelet back to Ning Fan, and sighed with regret.
“Take good care of it, young friend.
If one day you urgently need money, come find me, and I will buy it back at a high price.”
With that, he left reluctantly.
The matter was not over yet.
Though Tang Sanqiu could let it go, the vendor, the owner of the stall, was not willing to give up and quickly stepped forward to stop Tang Sanqiu.
The vendor said with a flattering smile, “Mr.
Tang, don’t hurry away.
If he won’t sell, I will sell it to you.”
“What do you mean by that?” Tang Sanqiu asked, startled.
The vendor grabbed Ning Fan, looked at him with crafty eyes, and pulled out five thousand yuan from his pocket to give to Ning Fan.
“Here, brother, no need to say anything else.
You bought it for four thousand just now; I’m giving you five thousand, an extra thousand for you, so you’ve made a profit right away.
Give the bracelet back to me,” the vendor said with a smile.
Ning Fan was also taken aback.
Is this guy joking?
Does he think my mathematics was taught by a P.E.
teacher?
A jade bracelet worth millions and he wants to take it back for five thousand?
Ning Fan immediately laughed.
“Since you’ve already sold it to me, where’s the logic in buying it back?”
“This is my item, I just missed seeing its real value.
Whoever I sell it to is the owner, now come on, give it back to me.
I won’t sell it to you anymore, I want to sell it to Mr.
Tang.”
The vendor spouted a bunch of nonsensical logic and then directly tried to take the jade bracelet from Ning Fan’s hand.
Ning Fan grew angry.
The money had already been received, the deal had concluded, and naturally, the bracelet was his.
Had this greedy merchant shown his fangs just because he saw profit in sight?
To think of such a scheme!
Dare to force a buy and sell in front of me, Ning Fan?
No way!
Ning Fan looked at the vendor coldly and said bluntly, “Not selling.”
The people around Ning Fan gave him a thumbs up; the treacherous vendor had bad intentions and should not be allowed to succeed.
“Well done,” someone whispered in support.
Only by doing so, like Ning Fan, could those shameless vendors be punished.
The vendor was so angry that his bald forehead wrinkled, but there was nothing he could do.
He was in the wrong, and if the other party didn’t want to, he couldn’t force them.
“What kind of person is this, where was he earlier?”
“He has no credibility at all.
What kind of business is he running?
He should have been shut down long ago.”
The people around envied Ning Fan for finding a treasure while also seeing through the vendor’s true colors; they criticized the vendor for lacking integrity.
The vendor, his face turning red with anger, glared at Ning Fan, who had stolen his chance to wealthy.
Ning Fan sneered to himself.
For such a vendor, this lesson was still rather light.
Just then, Cheng Guangming and Li Xiaona, who had been watching for a while, exchanged glances and walked over.
As Cheng Guangming fiddled with the ring on his finger, his eyes lit up at the sight of Ning Fan’s jade bracelet.
Li Xiaona approached gracefully like a lady of wealth, greedily eyeing the jade bracelet in Ning Fan’s hand.
They could not simply let an item worth over a million fall into the hands of a pauper; it needed to be reclaimed.
“You little loser, we spotted this bracelet first.
We were all set to pay for it, but you preempted us.
That’s not right, is it?”
Li Xiaona concealed her greedy expression, speaking disdainfully.
Cheng Guangming was more direct, speaking arrogantly, “Little pauper, I won’t mince words.
Here is ten thousand yuan, give the bracelet back to me.”
As he spoke, he pulled out ten thousand yuan in cash, threw it in front of Ning Fan, and reached for his jade bracelet.
“Scram!” Ning Fan said indifferently, ignoring them completely.
He had already taken a dislike to these two people; they were no different from the street vendor.
“Boy, don’t you be ungrateful,” Cheng Guangming glared at Ning Fan, fuming with anger.
Li Xiaona also rolled her eyes at Ning Fan, speaking contemptuously, “You took advantage of us while we were paying and jumped the queue.
This was originally ours, and you must return it to us today.”
The two of them had clearly set their sights on this bracelet first but hadn’t made the purchase, only to see this kid snatch their luck and find a treasure.
Although they had already given up on buying it, this kid was clearly riding on their luck, so the bracelet had to be theirs.
At that moment, the street vendor also jumped out, having already taken a disliking to Ning Fan; how could he miss such an opportunity?
“Let everyone judge this.
I was planning to sell this bracelet to this gentleman; we were still bargaining.
This kid forcefully purchased it before we had come to an agreement.
I think the bracelet should be theirs!”
The vendor said, his eyes sneaky and supportive.
“That’s how it is.
Young man, you should just give the item back to them.”
There were sighs from the surrounding crowd, some pointing at Ning Fan, indicating that his actions were indecent.
A few discerning onlookers could see the vendor was talking nonsense; the money was already in his pocket, where did the forceful purchase come from?
It was just that they were envious of Ning Fan having found a treasure and couldn’t bear it.
Cheng Guangming and Li Xiaona couldn’t care less about that; with the vendor’s support, they strutted even more arrogantly, eager to snatch the bracelet out of Ning Fan’s hand.
Ning Fan had now witnessed what it meant to be shameless; these three were perfect examples, utterly shameless.
“What if I refuse?”
Ning Fan spoke coldly, a chilling glare flashing in his eyes that startled Li Xiaona, causing her to step back.
Cheng Guangming held on to Li Xiaona.
Li Xiaona steadied herself, and stamping her high heels, she scolded, “You little pauper, do you know who we are?
Don’t damn well reject a face-saving offer!”
Saying that, she glared with somewhat fierce eyes, looking down and rummaging through her bag for something.
“Let me make it clear to you, you aren’t fit for this bracelet with your status.
Don’t make everyone unhappy.
Since I’m in a good mood today, bring the bracelet here, and I’ll give you twenty thousand as a small tip.”
Li Xiaona spoke condescendingly, pulling two stacks of money directly from her bag and slamming them down in front of Ning Fan.
“Someone like you is only fit for street stalls.
Fine jade bracelets should be left to us, the upper class, to avoid contaminating them.”
Cheng Guangming also threatened, “Instead of wasting time arguing, you might as well hurry up and go back to your bricklaying.
Sell us the bracelet quickly!”
The vendor chimed in as well, “Kid, if you don’t return the bracelet to this young master, we are going to call the police.”
Ning Fan let out a cool laugh, then burst into laughter.
People around also laughed sarcastically, teasing the vendor, “I support calling the police.”
The vendor’s face turned red, realizing he had misspoken.
If the police really came, the bracelet would have nothing to do with them.
