Chapter 616 Turn to Jiang Zhongyu for Help

Although Jiang Zhongyu was an antique expert, he was a human being without special power after all, so it was reasonable that he missed the real antiques.

Jiang Zhongyu took the blue and white porcelain pen holder, and couldn’t put it down after he was sure it was real.

“Girl Gu, how much is this jade ink stone from the Qing Dynasty?” Master Leng asked Gu Ning

“Um…” Gu Ning didn’t know how to answer that question. Master Leng was Leng Shaoting’s grandpa after all, and she wasn’t willing to let him pay for it.

“Well, why don’t you choose a piece as a gift from me?” Gu Ning said to them.

“What?” Hearing that, they were all astonished and couldn’t believe their eyes. Master Leng asked with doubt, “Girl Gu, are you serious?”

“Please choose one as a gift from me,” Gu Ning said to them again.

“We can’t do that!” Master Leng seemed displeased. “This isn’t cheap at all. We can’t take it for free.”

Gu Ning felt a little scared facing Master Leng.

“Girl Gu, we understand that you’re kind to us, but we can’t take it for free,” Jiang Zhongyu said.

“I seriously don’t know whether you’re kind or dumb. These are all priceless antiques, and you send them to us as gifts?” Master Xu said.

They weren’t willing to take advantage of Gu Ning, so they rejected Gu Ning’s proposal. However, Gu Ning insisted on it. “It’s no big deal. I didn’t pay much for them, so they’re not very expensive in my eyes.”

“That’s your opinion, but we must pay according to its market price,” Jiang Zhongyu said with determination.

“Exactly!” Master Leng and Master Xu agreed.

“Fine. Then a hundred thousand yuan each piece,” Gu Ning said. Gu Ning, of course, wouldn’t charge them according to the market price.

“A hundred thousand yuan each piece? It’s merely free!” Master Leng was still displeased.

“It’s a hundred thousand yuan each piece. Buy it or not.” Gu Ning wasn’t willing to yield anymore. If Master Leng wouldn’t accept it, she planned to let Leng Shaoting send it to him, and didn’t mind exposing her relationship with Leng Shaoting.

“Well…”

Master Leng and the others felt resigned, because they knew that Gu Ning wasn’t willing to charge them. It wasn’t common for them to see a piece of real antique that they liked, so they were unwilling to leave with empty hands. However, if they bought the antiques at such a low price, they would feel a little guilty.

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Gu Ning use her ace in the hole. “Well, I’ll tag this jade ink stone from the Qing Dynasty, this blue and white porcelain pen holder and this Tang Sancai yellow glaze horse as a hundred thousand yuan each. If you don’t want to buy them, I believe they’ll soon be sold out once I put them out.”

The above antiques were their favorites.

Hearing that, the group of Master Leng wouldn’t hesitate anymore.

“We want them!”

“Yes, we want them now!”

In case Gu Ning would sell them to others, they agreed at once.

“Girl Gu, if you encounter any trouble in the capital, feel free to tell us, and we’ll help you without hesitation as long as we can,” Master Xu said. That was the way to expand one’s network.
