C153 – You Are Really Bad!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Hao spoke up, firmly and unequivocally rejecting the offer without leaving any wiggle room.
“No way!”
He had certainly heard the murmurs of the crowd; this old man was clearly not to be underestimated!
Jiang Hao’s blunt refusal caught Feng Anshi off guard.
This wasn’t the same young man from before!
Jiang Hao’s straightforward denial left the onlookers in shock.
“Dang, he just turned down Director Feng!”
“Is this guy just a reckless youth?”
“Maybe he doesn’t recognize Director Feng?”
......
The chatter of the crowd didn’t sway Jiang Hao one bit.
Truth be told, Jiang Hao didn’t even know who Director Feng was!
Besides, he had no intention of mingling with Director Feng, so the gossip was of no concern to him.
In that moment, Feng Anshi recovered from the rejection. Despite being turned down, he remained unfazed and kept his smile.
“No harm done if you’re not interested!”
“But consider this: I saw you purchase that pair of Tiger Talismans for two thousand, and now I’m willing to offer three thousand. Would you sell them to me?”
“What?! That’s a Tiger Talisman from the Western Han period?”
“Holy crap, that explains why Master Feng stepped in—I’m starting to get it!”
“Damn, are those Tiger Talismans actually genuine?”
......
All eyes were now fixed on Feng Anshi’s face.
Coming to his senses, Feng Anshi watched Jiang Hao’s departing figure and had an epiphany.
It dawned on him that this young man had recognized the authenticity from the get-go, and his earlier timid demeanor had been nothing but a performance!
Feng Anshi was struck with a mix of shock and regret.
He was astounded that he had only suspected the Tiger Talisman might be authentic, while this young man had already ascertained its provenance!
Seeing the eager curiosity in the eyes of the crowd, Feng Anshi allowed himself a wry smile.
“I was the one blinded by greed!”
“The young man was correct—the Tiger Talismans are indeed authentic!
Their worth is easily in the tens of millions, if not utterly invaluable!”
The crowd gasped sharply at his revelation.
“Hiss...”
“What? Tens of millions? Maybe even priceless?”
The bystanders were left utterly flabbergasted.
