Chapter 94 – Cry if you want to, I understand your feelings!
“I don’t believe it! I can’t believe this is true!”
“Why is King’s cup here?”
“He shouldn’t be here!” Wang Pangzi rushed into the backyard.
From under the bed cabinet, he took out a large box. Inside the box were the precious King’s cups he had collected. A total of 5, not a single one missing!
“It’s not real! This definitely isn’t real…” He tremblingly reached out his hand and picked up one of the King’s cup.
Then, he scratched its surface with his fingernail. After two scratches, a layer of gold foil was scratched off, revealing the bronze color…
Soon after, a miserable scream came from the backyard.
Only Wu Ge understood the meaning of that scream.
Understood it very deeply!
Wang Pangzi must have rushed into the backyard to verify the authenticity of the King’s cups in his hand.
In the end, he discovered they were all fake. The real ones were actually in Lin Beifan’s hands. Unable to contain himself, he screamed, releasing the frustration and anger in his heart.
To be honest, he really wanted to scream too!
But, he couldn’t!
He could only silently shed tears and lick his wounds.
At that moment, Sun Lao exclaimed excitedly, “Young man, are you selling this set of King’s cups? I’m willing to offer 3 billion!”
His eyes turned red as he looked at the exquisite and beautiful King’s cups one by one, almost going crazy.
Even when he had just seen Emperor Huizong’s calligraphy, he hadn’t been this excited.
Lin Beifan shook his head, “I’m not selling! I really like this set of King’s cups myself!”
“Don’t refuse so quickly! If 3 billion isn’t enough, I’ll offer 3.2 billion… 3.5 billion!” Sun Lao was extremely excited.
“3.5 billion!”
Everyone around gasped in shock.
This wasn’t just an ordinary sum of money! It was a huge amount of money!
Enough to sustain someone for a lifetime! It could even buy a building to rent out, more than enough!
“3.5 billion!”
Wu Ge was left dumbfounded.
They were actually…
Handing over a treasure worth 3.5 billion? How foolish could someone be to do such a thing?
Wu Ge really wanted to slap himself across the face!
Lin Beifan responded again, “I won’t sell for any amount of money. I’m not someone who lacks money!”
“If you’re not interested in money, I can exchange it with high-quality assets!” Sun Lao’s eyes turned red, “I have a 15% ownership of Wanto Building, I can transfer it to you!” “15% ownership of Wanto Building!”
Everyone gasped in shock once more. This wasn’t just any asset, this was an incredibly high-quality asset!
Wanto Building was a massive office tower located in the commercial center of Mo Hai City. The value of the land, including the building, had long surpassed 20 billion!
With Sun Lao owning 15% ownership, that would be worth 3 billion!
The most crucial part was that this building generated rental income. Every year, it produced over 1 billion in rental revenue! With 15% ownership, that would mean a yearly share of 150 million in income!
It was like a cash cow!
Sun Lao was actually willing to transfer his ownership of Wanto Building!
Envy and jealousy filled the air!
Only Wu Ge wished he could stab himself with a knife! Stab himself once, then again!
But Lin Beifan continued, “I still won’t sell. I just like this set of King’s cup figurines!”
“Don’t be too quick to refuse! If you’re not interested in this, I also have Mao Tai stocks, Universe Holdings stocks, Apple stocks, and so on. We can discuss these options too!” Sun Lao pleaded.
Everyone collectively gasped in shock once again.
Sun Lao was practically letting Lin Beifan set the conditions! In other words, he was giving Lin Beifan the upper hand!
Fine, let’s not talk about him anymore!
As for Wu Ge…
He was already heartbroken enough; there was no need to further upset him! Faced with Sun Lao’s plea, Lin Beifan shook his head again, “Sun Lao, no matter how much you offer, I won’t sell. I really like this set of wine cups, and I want to keep it as a family heirloom!”
“You really won’t exchange? I still have…”
Lin Beifan’s face darkened, “Sun Lao, stop talking! I won’t exchange it! I won’t, no matter what!”
Sun Lao finally despaired, “Alright then! Can you let me take another look? Just a little longer!”
“Of course you can!”
At that moment, Lin Beifan turned around and hugged the numb Wu Ge tightly.
“Brother, thank you!”
“You’ve given me another huge surprise!”
“The entire set of King’s cups, the priceless King’s cups, you’ve managed to get them for me!”
“Something worth 3 billion, acquired for just over 10 million yuan, haha!”
“Adding to that, the previous calligraphy of Emperor Huizong…”
“Brother, I thank you! I really am so grateful!”
“You’re truly my lucky star!”
“Haha!!!”
Lin Beifan excitedly patted Wu Ge’s back, the sound echoing.
Wu Ge felt completely numb, like a lifeless body. His heart was cold and hollow, his hands and feet icy.
He wanted to join Lin Beifan in laughter, but he found that he couldn’t muster a smile no matter how hard he tried. He couldn’t even bring himself to open his mouth.
He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from crying, crying until his throat hurt, crying until his heart was torn apart.
At this moment, how he envied Wang Pangzi, who was hiding in the backyard! At least the other could cry freely, while he could only hold back his tears!
In the end, he weakly uttered, “Boss Lin, congratulations!”
“It should be a mutual celebration!” Lin Beifan laughed happily. “I’ve made a profit; will I treat you unfairly? After we go back, I’ll definitely reward you generously! I’ll give you a 10 million reward and bump up your position!”
After losing over 3 billion, he ended up with a 10 million reward and a promotion!
Wu Ge’s heart ached, and he just wanted to cry!
“Why aren’t you smiling, Wu my friend? Are you unhappy with my reward?”
Wu Ge nodded with tears in his eyes. “No, I’m very satisfied!”
“Then why are you crying?”
“I’m crying because I’m too excited, too moved! No one has ever treated me this well, except for Boss Lin!”
Lin Beifan patted his shoulder happily. “Of course, of course! I’m not only going to treat you well now, but I’ll treat you even better in the future! Wu old pal, if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry. We all understand your feelings!”
Wu Ge suddenly burst into tears. “Waaaah…”
He cried as if his heart was breaking! As if he had lost his parents!
Just then, Wang Pangzi suddenly rushed out, holding the 5 King’s cups tightly and said loudly, “I won’t sell them anymore! I won’t sell these 5 King’s cups! I’ll refund the money to you!”
