Chapter 704 The Key (continued)

Old Shen may feel that he did not explain clearly, and then he explained:
"It's my bad luck. When I went to the Second Auction House to appraise it, one of our Tibetan friends happened to be there. He somehow found out the result of my appraisal, and then passed it on to ten, ten to hundreds, Everyone knows I've got my eye on it, so I can't sell it even if I want to!"

Having said that, Old Shen smiled wryly again. In fact, if he acted like some profiteers, he could have sold this copper coin, and he wouldn't be as depressed as he is now, but he just didn't want to act like a profiteer. That's a deceit, so to a certain extent, his personality is not suitable for antique business.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen's personality is somewhat similar to that of Old Shen, but the difference from Old Shen is that before he had the ability, because he wanted to live, he had to be more tactful in doing things, but after he got the ability, he didn't bother to play with it. It's a little tricky, and it's not his turn to make eye contact.In the final analysis, this still has a great relationship with its own strength.

In other words, although Chu Chen thinks that Lao Shen is a good person, the reason for the current result is caused by Lao Shen's own behavior, and over the years, this kind of person is not uncommon in Chu Chen, and he will not change after repeated admonitions. Bankruptcy abounds, such people really have nothing to sympathize with.

However, Chu Chen ruined his business after all, and the key in Lao Shen's hand was probably what he was looking for, so he decided to patronize Lao Shen's business.

He asked, "Boss Shen, can you show me the key in your hand?"

Old Shen thought that Chu Chen felt embarrassed because of what happened just now, so he quickly said: "Mr. Chu, don't pay attention to what happened just now. In the end, it's still my stuff that doesn't live up to expectations."

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Boss Shen, I've really taken a fancy to your key, look..."

"Oh..." Old Shen came to his senses and quickly put the things in front of Chu Chen.

The key is indeed the same as recorded in the notes. It is a long-handled key common in ancient times. The key is not big, only about five centimeters in length, and the whole body is made of 18K gold. A piece of Khotan white jade is inlaid on the key handle. Warm and delicate, it can be regarded as an excellent piece of beautiful jade, but this piece of jade is too small and its value is not too high.

In addition, the protruding position at the top of the key is in the shape of a horn. In addition, there are seven serrations on it. To make seven serrations in such a place shows the high level of the producer, and this feature is also the key drawn on the notes. most notable feature.

Because with the upgrade of the ability, it can also work on gold and silver products. To be on the safe side, Chu Chen also used the ability specially, and found that the production time of this golden key was indeed a product of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It immediately made him feel relieved, and he seemed a little excited.

But after a while, he thought, now that he has the key, where is the box?

"Could it be possible to go to the antique shop that Lao Shen mentioned?"

As soon as this thought came up, Chu Chen dismissed it. Think about it, someone took the key you sold and asked you where you got it. Wouldn’t it occur to you that this key might be useful? ?

You can't go to an antique shop to ask about this kind of thing, and Chu Chen can only try to ask Lao Shen to see if he knows where he got the key.He was not in a hurry, but first picked two things at the booth, and then got up to check out with Lao Shen.

One wanted to sell the item as soon as possible, and the other wanted to make up for what happened just now and inquire about the news, so the business was easily closed at 2000 yuan.

Chu Chen took the things that Lao Shen had wrapped for him, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of lock it is, so I use this key with gold inlaid with white jade."

Lao Shen, who opened the card, was in a good mood, and replied with a smile: "I really don't know. When I bought it, the other party said that I bought it when I was traveling in Myanmar. But I think this kind of key should be a pendant. It should be It's for decoration."

When Chu Chen heard that the key was obtained in Myanmar, he felt a little strange, why did the key go there?Immediately afterwards, he thought of the frequent exchanges between Myanmar and my country, and some people went to settle there for various reasons.Perhaps this key was brought there just because of this.

The key was lost there, maybe the box is also there now, so I must search for it when I go to Myanmar this time.But there are still two problems. One is that Chu Chen doesn't know if the box is there now.In addition, just looking for it based on the appearance of the box is undoubtedly similar to finding a needle in a haystack.

In fact, for Chu Chen, it is best to ask how he got the key now, but doing so is easy to cause complications, and he will definitely not do it until the last moment.

Coming out of Lao Shen's room, Chu Chen checked the time, and it was already past eleven o'clock. At this moment, his cell phone rang. It turned out to be a call from Uncle Wu, saying that he was about to have dinner.

After lunch, a few people went on with their morning itinerary and visited the Cheng Tian Hotel.

…………

The days passed quickly, and it was NO.18 in a blink of an eye. In the past few days, Chu Chen had already dealt with all the things that needed to be done at home, so he was going to fly to Myanmar with his uncle and others.

While eating breakfast, Zhao Yunlin said with a worried face: "Ah Chen, why don't you bring some more bodyguards, after all, it's not in the country, I heard it's very chaotic, and there are still wars in some places! "

Chu Chen comforted his mother with a smile and said: "Mom, it's okay, the places you mentioned are almost all in the border areas, and I won't go there, and there are Hu Yong and Zuo Shan here, so there will definitely be nothing wrong." dangerous."

Having said that, Zhao Yunlin still seemed a little worried.

Seeing this, Chu Yulan said: "Mom, it's okay. Didn't my uncle and cousin go there together? They all know people there, so how could they be so easy to be in danger? Speaking of which, I am in Myanmar. I’ve never been there, and I really want to go too!”

Zhao Yunlin reprimanded after hearing the words: "You girl, don't be too whimsical, finish my breakfast, and go to school honestly, if you do anything else, watch out for your ass to bloom!"

Seeing her daughter's grievance, Chu Yongning smiled: "Xiaolan, your mother is already very worried. If you go again, she will not be able to sleep. You should go to school honestly!"

Chu Chen also smiled and said, "Xiaolan, this time you should go to school well. When you are on vacation, I will take you abroad for vacation. How about it?"

Chu Yulan also knew that what her father said was true, and with Chu Chen's promise, she happily agreed.

After the meal, Chu Chen asked Hu Yong to take his younger sister to school, and he said goodbye to his parents with a salute, then got in the car driven by Zuo Shan and headed for the airport.

As soon as he left the gate of the community, Chu Chen asked, "Zuo Shan, are you worried about the hospital's arrangement?"

Zuo Shan smiled honestly and said, "Then there is nothing to worry about, those nurses are much more careful than old men like me."

In the past few days, Zuo Shan learned through Hu Yong that besides accompanying Chu Chen on long trips and protecting his safety, Zuo Shan also just helped Chu Chen look after his home, and besides, Chu Chen had no enemies. Without taking the initiative to cause trouble, it can be said that this is an easy, safe, and high-paying job.

What dissatisfaction do he and Le Fang have with such a job?
Knowing the scope of the job, Zuo Shan had no resistance in his heart, but he also made up his mind that he must be serious about the job. He understood that the reason why Chu Chen gave him such a good treatment was to let him do his best.

"Just don't worry!" Chu Chen smiled and nodded.

"Young Master Chu, I still have a few strong buddies in Myanmar, do you want me to contact you?" Zuo Shan said.

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Not for the time being, we won't go to those chaotic places, you and Hu Yong should be able to protect me, right?"

Zuo Shan chuckled: "I don't dare to say big words, but if it's just some wandering after a break, then it must be a piece of cake for us."

"Then I have nothing to worry about..."

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the Beijing Airport. They waited in the parking lot for a while, and then walked into the airport together until Hu Yong arrived.

After completing the formalities, the three of them waited in the waiting hall for about ten minutes, and saw Zhao Qirui and A Chao walking over.

Seeing Zhao Qirui, Zuo Shan was somewhat embarrassed, but Zhao Qirui didn't care, greeted him with a smile, and asked, "How is the situation of the siblings?"

Zuo Shan said: "Thanks to Young Master Chu, she is much more energetic now than before."

Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "That's good, but I want to criticize you for one thing. If you have any difficulties in the future, don't hide and swallow like before."

"Yes!" Zuo Shan nodded. He also knew that if he had come to ask Zhao Qirui before, the other party would definitely be willing to help, but in the final analysis, he still couldn't rest assured of his self-esteem at that time. Desperate situation, otherwise, he would not think about self-esteem anymore.

At this time, Zhao Qirui took out a check book from his purse, handed it to Chu Chen, and reminded: "I have changed all the money for you, you should take it easy this time!"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Uncle, don't you feel relieved when I bet on stones? Haven't you heard that people call me 'Jade King'?"

Zhao Qirui chuckled when he heard the words, and said: "There is an old saying that drowning is good, and gambling with stones is nothing to be sure of. I advise you to be more careful when the time comes."

Chu Chen also knew that his uncle was doing it for his own good, and said solemnly, "En! Don't worry, I will definitely be more careful about what should be paid attention to."
