Chapter 14 - The Cattiness of Liu Xingming (1/2)

Proofread by May Zou

Five million yuan?

Lin Qi was extremely excited, he didn’t expect that someone would like to buy the box at such a high price.

While the people around were even more dumbfounded. Just now it was only a high-quality counterfeit to be belittled, but after Lin Qi had fiddled with it, it had changed into a treasure of value.

“Senior Fang, are you sure you want to buy it?” Lin Qi was amazed.

“I’m absolutely sure. Actually, even if I pay five million yuan for it I still owe you one, because this eaglewood rouge box is worth much more than five million.”

Saying this, Senior Fang took out a membership card and a simple designed visiting card and handed them to Lin Qi.

“This is  our diamond card for Taste Pavilion membership. With this card, you can enjoy all our services free of charge in any of our subsidiaries. What’s more, if you need help, you can call me at any time.”

It could be seen that Senior Fang liked this box very much, and at the same time, he knew the unique value of this box clearly.

While for Lin Qi, this five million yuan was enough for him to pay his daily expenses and to care for his grandfather in his retirement. And the most important thing was that he could get help to stand firm in Jin Hai City. That was all that he could wish for.

“Since Senior Fang like the box so much, I would sell it to you to fulfill your wish and ” Lin Qi took the two cards and put them into his pocket. Then he looked at the stunned Liu Xingming and said, “By the way, Senior Fang, will you please deduct five hundred thousand yuan from the sum you’ll pay me and give the money to Mr. Liu? I haven’t paid him yet.”

“You can count on me for that. Tell me your card number and I will transfer the sum directly into your card. As for Liu’s money, I can pay him by cash.” Senior Fang said.

Lin Qi gave his bank card number and Senior Fang sent for the computer. Soon the money was transferred to his account.

Lin Qi’s bank card was bound to his mobile phone. After the transfer, a beep was heard and he received a message on his old phone: “A sum of four and a half million has been deposited in your bank account at 12:36 on X day X month online.”

Looking at the number, Lin Qi felt almost dazzled. He had never expected that he would have so much money in his account one day.

On the other side, Senior Fang’s assistant took out five hundred thousand yuan in cash directly from the counter, packed the notes in a suitcase and gave it to Liu Xingming.

Liu Xingming took over the money and put on a gloomy face. Losing 5 million in one second, he felt like weeping but failed to shed tears.

Although Liu Xingming was considered as a rich man, he knew five million yuan RMB was quite a large sum. In particular, Lin Qi had won a favor from Senior Fang.

In Jin Hai City, perhaps few people knew who Senior Fang was, but almost everyone who knew him would show respect to him. If one won his favor, he would gain much more advantages than what he could get from this five million yuan.

He never dreamed that he would hand over the treasure to another person without getting any benefit. At this very moment he really had the urge to hang himself on a small tree.

“Lin Qi, you got the treasure from me. Now I don’t want to sell it to you, I’ll give the money back to you, ten times…” Liu Xingming yelled with envy.

People around looked at Liu Xingming as if he were a fool. Want your treasure back now? If you were Lin Qi, would you agree?

Lin Qi said coldly, “Mr. Liu, I have sold it to Senior Fang. If you want it back, you could buy it from Senior Fang.”

Senior Fang held the eaglewood rouge box tightly and frowned, “Liu, you have sold it. Would you want to go back on your own word?”

Everybody could see that Senior Fang liked this treasure as if it were his own child. Taking it away from him would be equal to killing him.

Jiang Ruoqing, who stood by, didn’t expect things would end in this way. She had worried needlessly about Lin Qi just now, so she gave Lin Qi a look of anger and said, “Lin Qi, now everything is over, let’s go.”
