Chapter 96: How Many Graves Do We Need to Dig to Make Up for the Loss of Money?
Continuing, Wang Pangzi burst into tears and cried out, “It’s all your fault! Why did you bring them here? Why did I have to accompany you in this act? Why did I have to reveal these things?”
“Now it’s clear, right? The genuine calligraphy of Emperor Song Huizong’s skinny gold body inscription, worth 300 million, has been lost, right?”
“King’s Cup, worth over 3 billion, has also been lost, right?”
“On this day, we’ve lost over 3 billion!”
“Tell me, how many graves do we have to dig to recover the lost money?”
“You tell me! You tell me! You tell me…” Saying this, he viciously pinched Wu Ge’s flesh.
Wu Ge deeply regretted it as well. He initially intended to lose a few million and gain Lin Beifan’s appreciation, becoming his right-hand man.
Who could have thought that on this day, they would lose billions? They lost the two most valuable things they had!
If they had known all of this, he would never have brought Lin Beifan here again!
And he certainly wouldn’t have come up with such a terrible idea!
Regrettably, it was too late for regrets! Thinking about how he had painstakingly unearthed two treasures, only for them to fall into the hands of their enemies in an instant, his heart felt a sense of loss!
Touching his chest, he felt his heart turn cold again, a chilly sensation! “Pangzi, since the deed has been done, regret won’t help! It’s not a big deal. In the future, I’ll provide you with 100 graves to make up for the losses. How does that sound?” Wu Ge consoled.
Wang Pangzi said seriously, “Agreed, 100 graves! If you don’t dig 100 graves for me, I’ll haunt you for the rest of my life! Even if you marry Aunt Liu, I’ll stay in your bridal chamber and never leave!”
Wu Ge’s face turned black once again. “Get lost!”
Not long after, the two of them walked out of the backyard.
Wu Ge held King’s Cup and said, “Mr. Lin, after my persuasion, Boss Wang finally came to his senses! He realizes he was wrong, so he decided to return King’s Cup!”
“That’s the right decision!” Sun Lao laughed and said, “In any profession, there must be rules. Only by abiding by rules can the market prosper! Pangzi, being able to correct mistakes is a great virtue!”
Wu Ge handed King’s Cup over and said, “Mr. Lin, Boss Wang was just momentarily confused, which led to this foolish act. He has corrected his behavior, so as an adult, please spare him.”
Lin Beifan nodded, “Since you’ve personally spoken up, I’ll give you face and won’t bother with him.”
Wu Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Boss Wang, bring out your treasures so I can continue to appreciate them.” Wang Pangzi was shocked, “You still want to buy?”
“Of course!” Lin Beifan replied with unfinished excitement, “On my first attempt at buying antiques, I ended up finding two great items from you. My luck was good! Naturally, I’ll strive for even better!”
He then patted Wu Ge’s shoulder, “Brother Wu, you’ve worked hard. Help me find something bigger next time!”
Wu Ge: “…”
Holding the remaining box, Wang Pangzi cried out, “I won’t sell! I absolutely won’t sell!”
Afterward, Wang Pangzi closed the shop and ushered everyone outside.
Lin Beifan and Sun Lao exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways. Lin Beifan held Emperor Song Huizong’s calligraphy in one hand and the extremely valuable King’s Cup in the other. He was simply the most eye-catching person on the street.
At this point, Wu Ge said, “Mr. Lin, I’d like to request some time off.”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Beifan asked with concern.
Wu Ge clutched his chest, looking pained, “I might have eaten something bad. I’m not feeling well, so I want to go back and rest. I hope you understand.”
In truth, he wanted to go back and recuperate, soothing his injured soul. Lin Beifan remarked, “You’re holding the wrong spot. That’s your heart, not your stomach.”
Wu Ge: “…”
Immediately, Wu Ge placed his hand on his abdomen, wincing in pain, “It seems I’m feeling too uncomfortable; the pain seems to have shifted unnoticed.”
Lin Beifan sighed regretfully, “I was planning to treat you to a meal to celebrate today’s gains.”
Wu Ge responded, “There’s really no need. Thank you for your kind offer, let’s do it another day!”
Lin Beifan suggested, “How about having Aunt Liu accompany you? She’s older and good at taking care of people.”
Aunt Liu’s eyes brightened from the side.
Wu Ge’s chest hurt even more, “That’s not necessary either. I can take care of myself!”
“Alright, I won’t trouble you. Go back and rest!”
“Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin!”
And so, they parted ways, with Aunt Liu leaving as well. Lin Beifan had these two treasures taken back home, and then he continued to stroll around and have dinner with Song Yuqing to celebrate the day’s success.
The weekend quickly passed.
Monday arrived, marking the start of the workweek.
Lin Beifan once again saw Wu Ge and noticed he looked normal, seemingly unaffected by the events of the previous day.
Lin Beifan greatly admired this. After all, Wu Ge was truly cut out for the antique business, showing an unwavering resilience to such situations.
“Brother Wu, have you rested for a couple of days? Is your health a bit better?” As soon as Lin Beifan saw him, he inquired with concern, “Do you need a few more days off to fully recover? Or maybe you should go to the hospital for a complete check-up?”
Wu Ge felt a great joy in his heart.
Lin Beifan’s concern for him was evidently stronger than the previous week!
What did this indicate?
It indicated that the other party truly valued him!
All his hard work hadn’t been in vain! It was just that he had paid a slightly heavy price…
But it was worth it!
“Mr. Lin, you can rest assured! I’ve completely recovered now,” Wu Ge assured, patting his chest.
“That’s good!” Lin Beifan exclaimed happily, “Brother, I was worried you might be in trouble. Let me tell you something, I’ve already transferred a 10 million reward to your salary card. Check if you’ve received it.”
“Furthermore, I’ve informed the HR department to raise your rank by several levels. Although you’ll still have the title of a cleaner, you’ll receive the treatment of a manager!”
Wu Ge felt elated.
Money!
And they’ve elevated his 4.6 treatment to manager level! Previously, only one person could receive such a rapid promotion, Lin Beifan’s confidant—Ye Xingchen. This showed that Lin Beifan was indeed valuing him greatly!
He was nearly catching up to that scoundrel Ye Xingchen!
“Thank you for the promotion, General Lin!” Wu Ge exclaimed joyfully.
Lin Beifan laughed heartily, “Brother Wu, this is well-deserved! After all, you helped me retrieve two invaluable treasures, worth over 3 billion. I’m so grateful for your help, brother!”
Not mentioning that would have been better!
As soon as he said that, Wu Ge felt a twinge in his chest!
Lin Beifan grinned, “Brother Wu, with your current status, you’re no longer suited for a cleaner’s role! What kind of work would you like to do? Let me know, and I’ll arrange it for you!”
An opportunity had arisen!
Wu Ge’s spirits were lifted.
