"Mr. Shang, Room 999 is already reserved for today." As the waiter walked, he said, "Look …"
The waiter's attitude piqued Shang Liang's curiosity.
If it was in the past, if Shang Liang wanted to dine in room 999, the waiter would usually let the manager mediate for him. After all, the majority of the people who were able to dine in room number 999 of the Emperor Pavilion were either rich or noble. As for Shang Liang, who possessed the golden card personally gifted by the owner, Qi Xinhee, it could be said to be a VIP from VIP.
But this time, the waiter's attitude was clearly not as strong as before.
Shang Liang couldn't help but be curious. Just what kind of status did this big boss of the Fortune Jewelry Store have to make the attendants of the Emperor Pavilion revere him?
Seeing the waiter's awkward expression, Shang Liang laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Actually, I've arranged to meet my friend in room 999 for dinner today."
"So you two are friends!" Hearing Shang Liang's words, the attendant was instantly relieved of a heavy burden, and said happily: "That's truly great!"
If Shang Liang really wanted to compete with the person sitting in room 999, the waiter really didn't know what to do.
The attendant brought Shang Liang to room 999, and said respectfully: "Mr. Shang, your friend is waiting for you inside."
"Mm, go busy yourself." Shang Liang nodded, and opened the door to the private room.
Entering the private room, Shang Liang saw an old man around sixty years old sitting there. He was dressed in a suit and looked full of energy and vigor, and behind him was a man around fifty years old, and the manager of the Fuyuan Jewelry Store, Chen Jialiang.
"It's you?" Shang Liang immediately recognized the old man.
"Hmm?" The old man looked at Shang Liang, his brows raised, and said in surprise: "You know me?"
"The chairman of the Lu Corporation, Lu Guangnan, loves to collect private treasures." Shang Liang walked into the private room, and laughed while saying: "A few days ago, Gentleman Lu you held a private auction at your palace, and I was even going to participate!"
"So you were actually present at the auction that day." Lu Guangnan stood up, and revealed an apologetic expression: "Please forgive me for being stupid, but I actually didn't recognize you! Little brother, you won't blame me, right? "
"Hehe, what is Gentleman Lu saying!" Shang Liang did not try to cover it up and directly said: "With my identity at that time, I was not even qualified to step into the Lu Manor. If not for the fact that I was fortunate enough to get to know Big Brother Qi Xinhee, and he proposed to bring me to participate in the Gentleman Lu, I would not have had such an opportunity to broaden my horizons!"
"So little brother is an acquaintance of Boss Qi, no wonder!" Lu Guangnan nodded his head, "Qi Xinhee and I can be considered to be old friends, and now that I think about it, you can be considered as acquaintances."
"I've done it." Recalling that Qi Xinhee mentioned that there was a certain big shot's shadow behind Lu Guangnan, Shang Liang immediately replied humbly.
"Little brother, you don't have to be so polite." Lu Guangnan waved his hand, "Please sit!"
Shang Liang laughed and sat across from him.
Chen Jialiang, who was at the side, immediately introduced: "Boss, this is the Shang Liang Mr. Shang that I mentioned to you before!"
"Yes." Lu Guangnan nodded his head, and said: "Mr. Shang being so young and capable, is out of my expectations. Last time, Chen Jialiang spent thirty million to buy the Emperor Green Glass Seed Jade Bracelet, it was from the Mr. Shang. I wonder who Mr. Shang's father is … "
In Lu Guangnan's eyes, for Shang Liang to possess such a rare treasure at such a young age, he must be a son of a noble family, which was why he had asked such a question.
"My father was just a farmer." Shang Liang said straightforwardly.
"Pfft!" Lu Guangnan who was about to drink his tea almost spat out his tea out, "Mr. Shang, you must be joking right?"
"Gentleman Lu, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, what I said was the truth." Shang Liang curled his lips, "I was able to achieve my current status and achievements completely because of my hard work."
Shang Liang mocked himself in his heart. If not for the Conscience System binding him, he probably wouldn't be even a fart.
"Even if he's Qi Xinhee's friend, I think he should be right." Lu Guangnan thought for a moment, then no longer bothered with this question, and said: "Mr. Shang, if you want anything to eat, go ahead and order. I'll treat this meal."
"Then I won't be polite." Shang Liang laughed and ordered seven or eight of the Emperor Pavilion's signature dishes in one go. Just these seven or eight dishes, were already worth more than ten thousand.
Shang Liang smiled and said: "Gentleman Lu, since we have already ordered the dishes, shouldn't we get back to business?"
"Yes, yes!" Lu Guangnan patted his forehead and said: "Look at my memory, I am here to buy treasures from you, Mr. Shang. Mr. Shang, do you have any priceless treasures in your hands? "
"Gentleman Lu, before we made the deal, I had a question that I was very curious to ask you." Shang Liang did not directly answer Lu Guangnan, but asked a question instead.
Lu Guangnan nodded: "Go ahead and ask."
Shang Liang said: "Gentleman Lu, with your strength, there are countless treasures in this mansion, but why are you in such a hurry to purchase them from the outside world?
Hehe, actually, this is not a secret." Lu Guangnan laughed and said: "Since Mr. Shang wants to know, then I won't hide it from you. The thing is, I have a business rival in the capital who is also a collector like me. He and I are business rivals. In terms of collection, we are even more so. The two of them would often fight over a certain matter. The winner was naturally arrogant, while the loser was dejected. After a few days, he will be coming to the Peng City. I think that he definitely found some good treasures and came to show off to me. "In terms of Peng City, I, Lu Guangnan, am considered a member of a reputable clan. If I were to lose to this business opponent in this aspect, I would lose all face.
"So, Gentleman Lu, since you are not confident, you instructed your subordinates to search for treasures worth more than ten million just to deal with the provocation from this business opponent from the capital, right?" Shang Liang took Lu Guangnan's advice.
"That's right." Lu Guangnan nodded his head in acknowledgement, "Mr. Shang, since you told Chen Jialiang that you have three treasures that are worth more than ten million, why not take them out and show them to the old man!
At this time, Shang Liang already had the heart to befriend this old man with a deep background, so he nodded his head: "As for my treasures, I have already brought them all, but in my car, I will go out and fetch them."
Although the things were all inside the Item Cart, Shang Liang couldn't possibly take them out right in front of him.
