Chapter 155

You should know that in the First Agricultural Product Wholesale Market of North City District, people still occasionally talk about his ginger shoot dealings.

Some regret not joining in, while others lament that they sold to Lin Mo at too low a price.

Many have even tried to mimic his approach but ended up bankrupt, losing everything.

“Huff…”

“Demolishing a painting is really a physical job.”

Lin Mo twisted his back, which hadn’t ached in a long time, then patted Zhang Yihua, who was still stunned like a wooden chicken, and said, “Stop being dazed. Let’s go, what do you want for lunch? 1 made a little fortune today, my treat!”

“15 million… 15… million…” Zhang Yihua murmured in a daze, muttering under his breath, “In just two or three hours… you actually netted over ten million???”

His world view was crumbling.

Why is the gap between people so huge?

Remembering how he had begged for a few million in investment, he now just wanted to bury his face in Lin Mo’s chest and cry, while also asking if he liked men.

He could wear black stockings, too.

If that wouldn’t work, wearing pink bunny ears would also do.

“Let’s get going. Specialization in trade, these aren’t things you can figure out. Thinking too much isn’t good for your health,” Lin Mo teased with a laugh, then slung his arm around Zhang Yihua’s shoulder and walked towards the store exit.

As for the “Five Horse Painting,” it was already so badly damaged that it had neither collectible value nor market value. Taking it away was useless, so he might as well give it to Xiang Feiwen as a souvenir!

Zhang Yihua, with Lin Mo’s arm around his shoulder, walked out in a trance.

Just then, Xiang Feiwen, who had snapped back to his senses, ran over, blocking their path and yelled in a low voice, “Wait!!”

“You can’t go!!!”

“Hmm?”

With everything done and their goal achieved, Lin Mo wasn’t interested in entangling with such a petty character and said impatiently, “What now? Is there something else?”

“You… you… you…” Xiang Feiwen trembled as he pointed at Lin Mo and said, “Did you already know there was something in the painting and specifically came to dupe me today?”

His frustrated and slobbery appearance was almost enough to make Lin Mo laugh.

He really wanted to say, “1 liked you better when you were arrogant and unyielding. Can you go back to that?”

Zhang Yihua also came back to his senses, also disliking Xiang Feiwen. Seeing that Lin Mo was slightly annoyed, he pushed Xiang Feiwen away forcefully without even hiding his disdain, “Haven’t you heard ‘good dogs don’t block the way’? What? You want to rob me of my money?”

“Step aside!”

Xiang Feiwen, being skinny, almost stumbled and fell to the ground from Zhang Yihua’s push.

Lin Mo, however, approached Xiang Feiwen with a smile, straightened his slightly disheveled collar, and said, “It was a wild guess, and I just got lucky. Don’t you still have many nice paintings? Maybe there’s something hidden in those, too. If you want to make a fortune, go look for yourself.”

“Good luck then.”

Having said that, Lin Mo patted Xiang Feiwen on the shoulder, not caring about his murderous gaze, and stepped out of the shop.

“Haha… Hahaha….”

“Amazing!”

Zhang Yihua couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, “Mr. Lin, you should have seen Xiang Feiwen’s face when someone bid 10 million… Haha… it was like he had eaten shit!”

“And when someone bid 15 million, even more so!”

“Hahahaha… 1 think I’ll remember that expression for the rest of my life!”

“No matter, I’ve got to draw that guy’s crestfallen face tonight and use it for Shen Gongbao—it’s just the perfect fit… Hahahaha.”

Laughing like this, Zhang Yihua suddenly felt something was off.

He scrutinized Lin Mo by his side.

Calm and collected, strolling leisurely as though unexcited and unthrilled.

He couldn’t help but stare at Lin Mo and say, “Old Lin, you seem a bit off?”

Huh?

Lin Mo looked down at his clothes and countered, “What’s wrong? What seems off?”

“15 million, that’s a whole 15 million! You could buy a Bentley or a LaFerrari with that! Or get several large apartments in the center of Yuhang City!” Zhang Yihua’s eyes wide open, he scrutinized Lin Mo back and forth before continuing, “But you… you… how can you be so nonchalant???”

“Even just now I was so excited I nearly peed myself, but you act like it’s not your money being made?!”

Strange!

Too strange!

Zhang Yihua felt more and more like he had never really known Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was one way when he first came to Yuhang.

But this time around, he seemed like a completely different person.

Last time, you could sense a bit of the nouveau riche about him, especially when he left, dragging all the staff from their studio for a group photo to show off in their class group.

And that was just a 3 million investment.

But this time, this was casually netting over 10 million! A totally different concept from a 3 million investment! But Lin Mo showed no signs of it at all, emitting tranquility from inside out!

As if, for Lin Mo, 10 million in real gold and silver was no different than 10 million in virtual coins.

Can’t make sense of it, just can’t make sense of it.

How could a person change so much in just a little over two months?

What exactly has he been through in these two months?

“Should 1 be excited…”

Reminded by Zhang Yihua, Lin Mo seemed to realize his change too.

Yeah, what’s going on?
