V4C58 – Another Group Investigating Me (2/2)

Although the level of the community’s security was quite high, they were still responsible for who they worked for after all. The security team leader had just dealt with “the police” a moment ago, so he obviously went to inform about the matter to the Meng Family.

Meng Chuan listened to the report of the guard and doubtfully looked at Old Man Meng as he said, “Did you send someone to investigate QingQing’s boyfriend?”

“Why would I want to investigate him?” Meng Rusong denied plainly.

Meng Chuan also thought there wasn’t a need for his father to investigate such an unimportant person, and realized he had spoken thoughtlessly. However, he didn’t take the matter seriously as I had nothing to do with his Meng Family yet.

………………………….

I followed the directions given by the waiter and arrived before an antique double-story building. On the door, there was a plaque with dragons and dancing phoenixes with four words written in calligraphy: Feiyan Antique Collection Store

“Welcome, sir!” A service lady greeted me in a robotic tone.

I nodded to her and said, “Do you have jewelry here for sale?”

The service lady sized me up and down, then said to me lazily, “If you want to buy jewelry, you should go to the general business plaza over there!” She obviously didn’t believe I was going to buy anything here.

Collection companies weren’t the same as some general shopping malls. Many of the things inside were quite rare, even antique! Any ordinary thing in there was worth a fortune! The service lady saw that I was only in my twenties and dressed so casually, so she obviously thought I wasn’t a rich person. Now that she heard that I wanted to buy jewelry, she thought that I came to the wrong place.

After all, the collectors who came here wouldn’t ask if there was something, instead, they would look at the stuff that was on display.

I didn’t get angry and only smiled. I also knew that the clerks of many Collectibles Companies had such an attitude. It was no wonder, after all, if they had to deal with all these inexplicable customers every day, they would die of exhaustion!

At this time, a middle-aged man happened to walk down the stairs. After seeing me, and running his vision over me back and forth, he couldn’t help but gawk as he said politely, “Sir, how could we be of service to you?”

The clerk from before was stunned. There otherwise arrogant boss was now acting so polite to this average guy today? She didn’t recognize my clothes, but Yuan Gang, the middle-aged boss actually did. The knot on the shirt and the gold thread on the sleeves, what they entailed was something Yuan Gang was quite clear about. The knot and the badge with it was the representation of the imperial and aristocratic families in Europe. But these gold threaded sleeves were a bit more casual {TL Note: In the sense that they aren’t exclusive to royalty.} and were embroidery of the world-famous dress designer ****** used on his works. It was hard to find someone capable of wearing just one of these. He never expected to see both of them here.

Yuan Gang directly said without asking anything, “Sir, let’s go to the second floor to talk.”

I didn’t know why the boss was so polite to me and only thought it was his service attitude, and he treated everyone the same.

I nodded and walked to him as I said, “Do you have any precious rings here?”

“Rings? I wonder what sir might need the ring for? Is it for collection, or to gift to someone else?” The reason Yuan Gang asked the question was that he thought there was no need for me to buy rings for collection with my status, so it must be to give someone as a gift.

“It’s a gift for someone, a betrothal ring,” I said.

“So that’s how it is. We do have a ring that represents love here, sitting here for more than two years. Some people ask for it, but the price for it……” Yuan Gang said till here and stopped, then he continued, “Sir, I don’t have any other meaning. I am just trying to highlight the rareness and preciousness of the ring.”
