Chapter 149

“So everyone who comes into your store has to make a purchase? Even when buying clothes, shouldn’t one have the option to choose? Is there a need for this? We are all classmates!”

“Heh… Heh heh heh…”

Since the facade was torn apart, Xiang Feiwen didn’t bother saying anything more. They were just former classmates, weren’t they?

He hadn’t looked at the classmate group chat in how many years.

These days without money, who would acknowledge you?

Classmates? Heh!

“Fine, of course it’s fine, browse all you like,” Xiang Feiwen said with crossed arms and a disdainful look, “But I must remind you, don’t mess around with the things in my store. If you break anything, you might not be able to afford it even if you sold your wife!”

After hearing his last remark, Lin Mo’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, and a

chill flashed in his eyes.

It was clearly a veiled insult.

He looked up indifferently at Xiang Feiwen.

And it was this bland and calm gaze that sent a shiver down Xiang Feiwen’s

spine.

He suddenly remembered a movie scene with Huang Bo.

I lave you ever seen the eyes of a murderer?

Are you talking about this?

Xiang Feiwen was somewhat stunned.

And at that moment,

“Right, right, right, we can’t afford it, let’s just leave, shall we?”

Zhang Yihua was too upset, and he turned to leave, intending to pull Lin Mo with him.

However, Lin Mo pulled Zhang Yihua back, his expression very calm, and said with a smile to Zhang Yihua, “It’s okay, it’s okay, Yihua. We’re all classmates; why make things so rigid?”

“Boss Xiang, don’t rush. I did indeed come here to buy something. It’s just that

I didn’t really like the first two items,”

“Didn’t really like? Heh heh…”

Seeing Lin Mo act so timid, Xiang Feiwen immediately forgot the gaze Lin Mo had just shown him, taking it as a mere illusion. And he was set on embarrassing Lin Mo, chuckling coldly, “So is it that you didn’t really like it, or is it too expensive for you to afford? If you think it’s expensive, there are cheaper ones at the door for 300 a pair. If that’s still too pricey or if you don’t want to spend the money, each of you pick one out, and I’ll give them to you as gifts.”

“A porter, what are you pretending to be? You think I don’t know your situation?”

“You!”

Zhang Yihua couldn’t hold back any longer and was about to start arguing with

Xiang Feiwen.

A porter?

Are you kidding?

Lin Mo had casually invested 3 million in him!

But Lin Mo stopped him again, “Yihua, don’t lose your temper. He’s not wrong;

I really am a porter. Look, the calluses on my hands are still there.”

?????????

Zhang Yihua was stunned.

How had he never noticed that Lin Mo had such a good temper?

Someone had humiliated him, and he could still endure it?

Lin Mo resumed his stroll with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. After a little while, he suddenly pointed to a painting on the wall and asked, “This painting seems quite nice. Boss Xiang, how much is it?”

Lin Mo was now referring to the “Five Horse Painting” mentioned in the system information.

Xiang Feiwen glanced at the painting and frowned slightly before saying offhandedly, “It’s priced at 3 million, as written right beside it, isn’t it? However, if you really want it, I can give you a classmate discount of less than 500 thousand, 2.5 million, and you can take it straight away!”

In reality, the painting was worth around 500 thousand.

But Xiang Feiwen was gradually realizing that Lin Mo was different this time, both in terms of his dress and his demeanor. He guessed Lin Mo had turned his fortunes around, made some money, and was no longer a porter.

That’s good!

If he could swindle money from Lin Mo, that would be the best outcome.

Having run the shop for so many years, he knew too well that the money of the newly rich was the easiest to con!

“Yes, I admit, I was too harsh earlier.”

Xiang Feiwen could be flexible, and he went on to say, “Mr. Lin, we’re a small business here, and we earn hard-earned money, which can’t compare with your big business deals. If you really like this painting, please make me an

offer.”

The price was inflated by quite a bit, so no matter what Lin Mo offered back, as long as it wasn’t ridiculously low, he could sell it.

But if Lin Mo couldn’t produce the money, then it would be he who would end

up embarrassed.

There were many surveillance cameras in the store, and they could record

audio too.

Xiang Feiwen had already planned to edit the video material and send it directly to the classmate group.

It would be a good lesson for Li Jinwen to see what a high-quality man looked like!

What would be called having a bright future.

Lin Mo ignored Xiang Feiwen’s sneering behavior.

He couldn’t be bothered to figure out what was on the man’s mind.

Of course, if there wasn’t something beneficial in it for him, Lin Mo certainly wouldn’t have been so good-tempered.

Anyway, the first thing was to secure the painting!

However, Lin Mo wasn’t sure about the actual price of the “Five Horse

Painting.”

He really had no experience whatsoever.

Maybe-

Cut it in half?

According to the system’s intelligence, hidden within this “Five Horse Painting” was the “Yellow Sparrow Painting” by Zhu Da, a famous painter from the late Ming and early Qing dynasty, with an estimated value of 11.84 to 15 million yuan.

If he could purchase it for around 10 million, it would indeed be no loss.

Moving closer and after pretending to ponder, Lin Mo said, “This painting isn t bad, but the price is a bit steep. If it could be lowered to 1.2 million, I might consider it…”

Haha?

You really dare to bargain?

Before Lin Mo could finish his sentence, Xiang Feiwen, as though afraid that Lin Mo might change his mind, immediately took the “Five Horse Painting” out of the glass display case. He carefully rolled it up, placed it on the counter, and said, “Come on, 1.2 million it is. I’ll take the loss and let it go at that. Let’s close the deal, Mr. Lin. Pay up, will you?”

-Scan this QR code for my online banking account. If you have a transaction limit, I can go with you to the bank to withdraw the money.

“Lin Mo, oh Lin Mo, when did I fail to realize how well you could pretend?”

“You really think I don’t know what you are up to in Rakshasa City?”

“1.2 million, haha, can you even earn that much money by carrying floors for a lifetime?”

Xiang Feiwen was very sly.

His words seemed to be taunting Lin Mo.

But actually, the real purpose was to infuriate Lin Mo!

If Lin Mo really had the money, then this reverse psychology would make Lin Mo scan and pay, and Xiang Feiwen would cry all the way to the bank, making hundreds of thousands. Wouldn’t that be joyful?

And if Lin Mo was just a poor guy, he would have the video material as well.

It was a no-lose situation either way.

However, Zhang Yihua was completely enraged by Xiang Feiwen’s words, “Xiang Feiwen, are you sick? Can’t you watch your language? Do you know who Lin Mo is…”

However, while Zhang Yihua was speaking, Lin Mo had already scanned the online banking account QRcode, entered the amount, and made the transfer. [Online Banking Account Credited: 1,200,000 yuan exact. I The payment notification sound installed in the store immediately went off.

In an instant,

Zhang Yihua was stunned, so was Xiang Feiwen.

Lin Mo reached out proactively, took the “Five Horse Painting” still in Xiang Feiwen’s hands, and with a smile, he calmly asked, “Classmate Xiang, this painting is mine now, isn’t it?”

Although Xiang Feiwen was extremely surprised that Lin Mo could actually come up with 1.2 million,

After all, it was a big deal, and he made a tidy profit, so his heart was very happy at this moment.

Who would have a grudge against money?

What an idiot, he actually fell for it!

What does money matter?

What does it matter if a salted fish turns over?

He’s still an idiot!

How does that saying go?

If a person’s intelligence doesn’t match their wealth, the surplus will flow back into the market in various ways!

This saying was just perfect for Lin Mo!

“Hehe.” Xiang Feiwen sneered twice, nodded, and said, “Mr. Lin is so generous, so generous indeed. My little shop hasn’t seen a customer as lavish as you for a long time. Take a look and see if there’s anything else you need.”

“Something else? No rush.”

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, then pointed at a long table nearby, “Could I borrow your table for a moment? I’d like to spread out the painting and appreciate it properly.”

“No problem at all, feel free to use it. If you have any other requests, just let me know!”

Although he didn’t care for Lin Mo inwardly, Xiang Feiwen saw Lin Mo as a naive rich bumpkin, and if he could take advantage of him further, why not?

“Mr. Lin, please, this way!”

Xiang Feiwen’s attitude was now extremely polite, unlike his air of superiority before.

Lin Mo walked over to a long table, spread the “Five Horse Painting” neatly on it, and then bent down to carefully scrutinize it bit by bit.

He wanted to test whether his own eyes could detect the trickery hidden within the painting!
