Chapter 71 - No Coincidence Without Fate

Speaking of shamelessness, Ye Haochuan claimed second place, and no one dared claim first.

This Boss Liang was indeed a cunning one and quite shameless too, but in his presence, it was like a minor witch meeting a great sorcerer.

Moreover, Boss Liang was quite wary of his identity, fearing he might offend him.

Thus, he didn’t dare to ask for too much, but with such acquiescence, he was somewhat reluctant.

“Young brother, this…

do you think we can negotiate a bit more on the price?” Boss Liang’s throat felt a bit dry as he squeezed out the words.

“Negotiate?

Haven’t I been accommodating enough?” Ye Haochuan retorted, “You bought this painting for only a thousand yuan.

Look, I’ll buy it for eighty thousand.

Eighty thousand isn’t a small amount; you could say you have made a fortune.

So, what do you say, deal or no deal?”

“This…”

“Boss Liang, eighty-eight thousand compared to eighty thousand is just an extra eight thousand yuan.

To me, eight thousand yuan isn’t much; to you it isn’t much either.

I won’t hide it from you; I’m buying this painting purely to help others out of urgency, I’m not at all interested in this counterfeit piece of yours.”

“But, young brother, your price cut is too harsh.

I’ve already given up a lot of profit.

Though it’s a counterfeit, it has a history of over a hundred years, and from the style of the painting, it is indeed an excellent work…”

“Heh heh, Boss Liang, don’t be too greedy.

If you think the price is right, we have a deal.

If you think it’s too low, you can choose not to sell.

However, let me put it plainly, if I can’t buy it, no one else will be able to either!”

Threats!

Naked threats!

The crowd around was all impressed by Ye Haochuan’s assertiveness.

Especially Chen Yushan, who had witnessed his bluffing firsthand and realized that apart from being able to fight and act recklessly, he was also eloquent, persuasive, and full of cunning intelligence.

Seeing Ye Haochuan’s half-smiling, half-serious expression, Boss Liang’s heart pounded, and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright then, eighty thousand it is.

I just hope you can say a few good words about me in front of President Li in the future.”

As the deal was sealed, everyone present admired the transaction a little.

Everyone was an expert; although the ancient painting was only a copy, it still had historical value, and it was inevitable that its value would double over the years.

“Awesome!

I like it!” Ye Haochuan snapped his fingers with a pop, “Give me your Alipay account, and I’ll transfer the money.”

“Yes, yes, yes…” Boss Liang hastily reported his account details.

Ye Haochuan promptly transferred eighty thousand yuan to him.

Though the profit was less than expected, Boss Liang still beamed with joy, saying, “Young brother, if you need anything else in the future, feel free to visit.”

Ye Haochuan nodded nonchalantly.

Fuck, come again next time?

With your dishonest merchant character, genius would rather not come back here.

Boss Liang, unaware of his thoughts, promptly had his men take down the painting and package it properly.

It was only then that Ye Haochuan said to Old Han, “Old Han, did you see?

Your painting’s price is at least eighty thousand.

You sold it to him for just a thousand yesterday; you can imagine how big the difference is.”

Old Han nodded.

“Old Han, do you have an Alipay account?

I’ll transfer the money to you,” said Ye Haochuan.

“Alipay account?” Old Han was completely confused.

Ye Haochuan suddenly realized, Old Han clearly looked like someone who wasn’t exposed to the world, more traditional, and how could he know about a convenient internet-based high-tech product like Alipay?

With self-mockery, Ye Haochuan asked, “Then do you have a bank card?”

“Bank card?” Old Han quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, yes.”

Saying this, Old Han took out a worn-out bank card, which was from ICBC.

Ye Haochuan took it, entered the bank card number, and then transferred one million yuan through his mobile Alipay.

Chen Yushan was right beside him, and was shocked when she saw him transfer so much money: “A million?

You transferred a million?”

What?

A million?

Everyone in the room found it unbelievable.

Heck, are there really such fools existing in this world?

Spending eighty thousand to buy a painting, moreover a fake one, giving it to Old Han was one thing, but to actually take out a million for others, was this guy’s brain flooded with water?

The antiques shop owner Boss Liang was also dumbfounded at this moment.

What on earth was Ye Haochuan up to?

How come I can’t understand a damn thing?

Old Han was even more in disbelief, excited, thrilled, and bewildered..

All sorts of thoughts flooded his mind, unsure how to express his gratitude to Ye Haochuan.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a voice came through: “This is the place, Brother Ding, let’s go in…

Huh, Ye Haochuan.”

Ye Haochuan turned his head and a smile appeared on his lips.

Fuck, doesn’t trouble love company?

It was actually that kid Yu Cheng again!

Ironically, right next to this kid, his ex-girlfriend He Yun, was actually mixed up with him again, even clinging to his arm with an intimate demeanor like a bird relying on a person.

He Yun today, in a long white dress, her face lightly made up, her hair pulled up high, looked somewhat like a white lotus, but somehow, this image felt so fake, it clearly was just a saintly whore.

Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, fuck, didn’t I break them up last time?

How come they are colluding together again in disgrace?

At this moment, Ye Haochuan also noticed another person, who was indeed the Brother Ding mentioned by Yu Cheng.

This person, in his mid-twenties, was slim and dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking very scholarly.

However, Ye Haochuan saw a hint of coldness in his eyes beneath his glasses.

Additionally, he always wore a smile on his face, but the smile seemed fake, giving people a feeling of hidden sharpness.

Clearly, this person was no good.

Moreover, from the two glamorously dressed beauties by his side, and the five or six bodyguards behind him, this person had a significant background, rich or noble, and had the air of a spoiled wealthy young master.

At that moment, He Yun’s gaze also came over, and upon seeing her ex-boyfriend, her eyes immediately burst with the light of hatred.

No wonder she hated Ye Haochuan so much, she remembered clearly what happened yesterday at Shihao Grand Hotel.

Being a petty and vindictive person, how could she not hold a grudge?

“Ye Haochuan, I really didn’t think we would meet again so soon!

What, are you also at this kind of classy place?

Do you also understand the appreciation of antiques and paintings?” He Yun said with a face full of mockery.

Fuck, what do you mean ‘you also come to this kind of classy place’?

Are you classy?

You should take a good look at yourself in the piss, you dumbass!

Ye Haochuan was annoyed inside, and laughed: “Yes, I came here specially when I was free to pose as culturally refined.”

He Yun snorted disdainfully and muttered under her breath, “Pretentious.”

Although the sound was soft, Ye Haochuan, with his impressive inner strength cultivation, heard it clearly and felt even more annoyed instantly.

Fuck, so what if I’m pretentious?

I have the ability, do you?

Suddenly, Chen Yushan leaned over and asked softly, “Who is this woman?

Why does she seem to have a deep hatred for you?”

“She’s my ex-girlfriend, He Yun,” Ye Haochuan said indifferently.

Seeing He Yun clinging to a man dressed in gold and silver, yet ugly as sin, Chen Yushan immediately understood everything.

No need to say, this woman is a complete gold-digger, but it seems she still doesn’t know Ye Haochuan’s true identity.

Thinking of this, Chen Yushan felt somewhat sighful.

This He Yun, her taste really sucked, not recognizing the fortune she had in her hands when she had such an outstanding boyfriend, and she ended up letting him go.

At this moment, Yu Cheng and others had already reached Ye Haochuan.

“Ye Haochuan, we will settle our grievances later, but for now, you fuck off to the side and stay there,”

Yu Cheng said fiercely.
