Chapter 25 Laid off
Keith kept shaking his head and shouting for the price, but Mike was very happy. In his eyes, as long as these things are true, he thinks they are worth the price.

Then Mike asked a few more questions, and Chaoyang paid him four to five times the price Yang Changchun gave. Finally, they bought a Yongle Chenghua bucket with overglaze and underglaze colors, and another one. There are four pieces of ancient porcelain in red color and underglaze blue produced during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

According to Yang Changqing's quotation, the sum of the four items was less than 3000 yuan, but Pete finally paid 3000 yuan.

After Chaoyang sent them out of the antique market, he told them the address of the agency that appraised the antiques. Mike said thank you repeatedly, and then got into the car like holding those antique treasures.

The black car quickly disappeared from sight, Chaoyang turned around and returned to the market, Cheng Shaoyang and Yang Changqing saw her coming in, they stood up unanimously.

"Well, little girl, I really want to thank you today. You are so amazing that you dare to charge such a high price. To be honest, I really underestimated you when I first started." Yang Changqing smiled embarrassedly, Some scratched their heads in bewilderment.

Cheng Shaoyang was full of questions, and finally waited until now. Before Chaoyang could speak, he couldn't wait to ask, "Why is your spoken English so good? When did you learn it? And those professional words, how can you know them? "

It was noon at that time, the sun was so strong that it was dazzling, and the sun was behind the light, as if the whole body was dyed with a layer of gold, and the face looked much softer.She sat on a chair and slowly made up nonsense, "First, I have read those English words in books a long time ago, and I listen to English tapes every morning, so I memorized them. Second, things As long as it is true, why can’t the price be set high, and the antique market has no standards in terms of price, besides, they are foreigners, so we must not let them go for nothing.” If those treasures were placed in the 21st century, they would definitely be in high demand. , Selling it to him for such a small amount of money is already considered cheap for them.

The green-toothed beast stood on the table, grunted a few times, and expressed contempt for Chaoyang's practice of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. This is obviously due to its credit. If it weren't for its keen eyesight to recognize antiques, there would be no place for her to speak.Well now, she's being a good person and putting it aside.

The three chatted for a while, and finally, Yang Changqing bought back the blue and white porcelain vase brought by Cheng Shaoyang, and then refunded 200 yuan to him, asking him to return the money to Wang Zhuoting.Looking at the 200 yuan, Chaoyang thought to herself, Wang Zhuoting really spent a lot of money, and spent so much money to buy a fake.

Yang Changchun, who has always been stingy, took 1000 yuan from the pile of money and handed it to Chaoyang, "Little girl, this is a small thing, and you have helped me a lot today."

Chaoyang was unmoved, "Boss, I'm helping you out of Cheng Shaoyang's sake. We are classmates, and we may ask you for help in the future if we have something to do!"

Yang Changqing didn't expect that such a young age could withstand the temptation of money. He stuffed the money into his pocket with a smile on his face, "It must be. From now on, as long as you say a word, Yang will go through fire and water."

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he came out of Yang Changqing's shop. Chaoyang said he had something to do, so he broke up with Cheng Shaoyang.

In fact, she didn't go anywhere, but went straight to the small market on the north side of the antique market, where there are small vendors setting up stalls, and there are more customers coming and going than in the market.Chaoyang walked back and forth in front of the booth for several times, and finally spent 100 yuan to pick up two snuff bottles and three jade pendants. The boss smiled when he took the money, but he didn't know that after a few years, these things will be sold. It's not just a few times the price.

Since I went to the antique market last time, whenever I have free time every weekend, Chaoyang will go to the market with her schoolbag to pick up some leaks.Seeing the piles of bottles and jars in her room, Gu Hongying couldn't help asking her what they were.

Chaoyang took out the last pastel porcelain vase from his schoolbag, stuffed it into the cabinet like a baby, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and then closed the cabinet door carefully, "Mom, these are good things, the teacher said after class It takes time to cultivate my hobbies and interests, no, I am cultivating my interests according to the teacher's requirements!"

When Gu Hongying heard that it was requested by the teacher, she couldn't object, "But where did you get the money to buy these things?"

Chaoyang smiled slyly, "Last time when I got a scholarship, Dad secretly gave me 200 yuan after he knew that you had confiscated the money. Plus the weekly pocket money you give, it's more than enough to buy these things."

Gu Hongying smiled and nodded her forehead, "You two are actually working together to lie to me."

At this time, the courtyard door creaked and was knocked open. Lian Xiangsheng still pushed the broken bicycle and walked in. Judging by his expression, it seemed that something was not normal.Gu Hongying walked over to help as usual, and leaned the car under the vine.It was late autumn at this time, and the branches and leaves of the grapes had already withered, leaving only a few sporadic dead leaves that had been dried and rolled up still hanging on them.

Gu Hongying seemed to see something wrong with her husband, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Lian Xiangsheng glanced at his daughter standing in the yard, waved his hand and said, "Yangyang, you go in and do your homework first, and I'll have a few words with your mother."

Chaoyang let out an oh, turned and walked into the back room.She pretended to sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, took out the textbook, but her ears and thoughts were all outside the window.

"What's the matter? You don't look very well." Gu Hongying was anxious and worried.

Lian Xiangsheng sighed, and after a long while, he put his palm on Gu Hongying's shoulder, and said slowly, "Yingzi, I might really be laid off this time, the company's business has been worsening day by day in recent months. In a short time, the company has already laid off a group of employees, and this time I am afraid it will be my turn."

Gu Hongying was taken aback, "Why did this happen? Have you looked for Lao Liang?"

Lao Liang's name is Liang Chaoqian, and he is Lian Xiangsheng's old teammate. When they went to the countryside to jump in the team, the two were assigned to the same team.At that time, he survived on a hungry stomach every day. Lian Xiangsheng was the boss at home and was used to taking care of others. When he was working in the team, he saw that Liang Chaoqian was thin and sick, so he would often take the small amount of money he was assigned. Give him some of the fire and food, and the two of them have become best friends since then.Later, when the work was assigned, the two were assigned to the same steelmaking plant by chance. Liang Chaoqian relied on his own ability to become the technical backbone, and at the same time became the second in command in the steelmaking plant.He and the mayor, Cheng Huaxiang, are also somewhat related. Chaoyang was able to enter Chengcai Middle School, and he was also the one who helped in the beginning.

Lian Xiangsheng shook his head helplessly, "I've found it. I'm afraid Lao Liang won't be able to keep him this time. The steel mill probably won't last long and will close down. I'm afraid more people will be laid off."
