Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing the two old men happily playing chess, Xu Wenping couldn’t help but smile and didn’t disturb them anymore. He was afraid that his parents would feel bored after moving in. As soon as his father arrived, he found a chess friend, and it was the old leader.
Fate was sometimes so wonderful.
Xu Wenping slowly walked back to the hall. After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and dialed Chen Pi’s number.
Pi!
“Brother Ping.”
“How is it? Did you receive the money? Are you busy? I need your help with something.”
Xu Wenping was being polite, but Chen Pi on the other side of the phone said no. Xu Wenping then said slowly, “It’s like this. I’ll send you a location and let you do your first business.”
“Move? Haha… Alright, don’t worry, Brother! I’ve already signed the contract. How many trucks do you need?”
Xu Wenping laughed bitterly when he heard Chen Pi sharpening his knife at the pig and sheep. “Just one truck will do. It’s the one in our original neighborhood. Help my parents bring their daily necessities over, just… However, you can also add a few pieces of furniture. Anyway, come over and talk!”
“Alright!”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wenping walked forward with a smile. At this time, his mother and Su Yurou had just walked around the rooms and expressed their satisfaction.
“How is it, Mom… Yurou, is there anything else that needs to be added to the house? If there’s anything that you’re not satisfied with, just tell Nami and let her change!”
His mother immediately smiled and said, “Very good, very good. Aiyo… As soon as we entered the house, it was as if we had entered a scenic spot. Everything I saw was priceless, so I was reluctant to sit.”
“Haha!” Xu Wenping laughed.
Su Yurou didn’t express any opinion. Although she was somewhat interested when she first entered, she had already calmed down completely. Even if it wasn’t the realm of ‘not being stuck in things,’ at least the living conditions of this level wouldn’t surprise Su Yurou too much.
While she was smiling, Su Yurou’s phone rang. She picked it up for a while, then her face lit up with joy.
After nodding her head, she didn’t say anything until Nami brought Mother Xu to familiarize herself with her courtyard. Su Yurou then leaned over to Xu Wenping and whispered, “Wenping… I have to go back to the company!” “What? Why are you so busy?”
Xu Wenping felt strange. Su Yurou said with a little joy, “The research team said that the results of the communication with the laboratory are out. There’s a main leader over there who’s very interested in our research results.”
The leader was interested?
Hearing this, Xu Wenping’s expression also lit up. Then, he smiled and said, “Alright, since you already know the way, let’s go. I’ll send you to the company first.”
“I’ll go by myself. You accompany your parents…”
“Let’s go!”
Xu Wenping smiled lightly and pulled Su Yurou out of the door. Although the villa was the most exquisite renovation, it was still a move. Even if there were some trivial matters, it might not be settled in a day or two.
Besides, they had already taken a car when they came up. It was probably impossible to hail a taxi here.
Xu Wenping called Chen Pi along the way and asked him to wait at the entrance of the neighborhood. He brought the key down and could move the things directly.
After sending Su Yurou back to the company, Xu Wenping rushed to his neighborhood. However, on the way, he was attracted by a street vendor.
Their neighborhood was originally a place where many elderly people would occasionally interact with each other. Therefore, there would be mobile antique stalls.
Xu Wenping was usually not interested in this, so he did not pay much attention to it. This time, when he passed by, he was interested in an old man’s small wooden box.
Xu Wenping stopped the car and walked straight to the small wooden box.
The wooden box was marked with ‘River Map of the Book of Luo’, but there was also a portrait drawn on it. It looked extremely exquisite. Xu Wenping opened the wooden box and saw that there were three layers of push-pull frames, and it was even a mechanical object.
All the rotating structures were made of wood and could be considered exquisite and flexible. However, this wooden box was not worth paying attention to. Inside it was a full set of gold needles!
“How much?”
“Aiya… Let me tell you, it is rumored that this box was made by Master Lu Ban. The golden needles inside were designed by the famous doctor Bian Que’s elder brother and personally forged by Ou Yezi…”
“Little friend, have you heard of it before? Bian Que had once said that his medical skills were the worst among his brothers, which was why he was famous. His second brother treated illness before it would develop, his eldest brother treated his illness before it flared up, and he treated illness when it flared up… This realm.”
Listening to the old man’s endless chatter, Xu Wenping’s lips twitched. Putting everything else aside, this mouth of his could earn a few bucks if he went out to perform crosstalk. Why would he use it to deceive people?
“How much is it?” Xu Wenping interrupted.
“6,480!”
“If you think this price…”
“648!”
“Deal!”
Looking at the old man’s smile, Xu Wenping’s expression could not help but freeze slightly. As he paid and took the wooden box, he could not help but wonder if he would buy it even if he said 64.80 yuan?
This old man doesn’t know what’s good for him!
The golden needles in the wooden box were not made of gold, but an extremely rare purple gold refined by the sea. Of course… This item was not prominent in the world, so its value was not high. It was just that it was very rare.
Xu Wenping was quite happy to have picked up the loot. When he arrived at the entrance of the community, Chen Pi was already waiting downstairs.
Today, Chen Pi’s hair was tied into a braid and he was wearing a suit that fit him well. When he saw Xu Wenping coming over, his eyes immediately lit up and he shouted to his underlings in green uniforms, “Hurry up and call Brother Ping!”
“Hello, Brother Ping!”
Although this group of underlings had the same uniform as the garage, they were all sloppy.
Everyone shouted like thunder. Xu Wenping was afraid of startling the neighbors and quickly said, “Alright, alright, don’t play these tricks. Go up and move the things!”
“I say, aren’t you a little too cunning? Even your old leader is blaming you! The horse was clearly here just now. How could it fly to this place?”
At first, the atmosphere was amiable, but at this moment, the two old men in front of the chessboard were fuming.
Xu Shinian gritted his teeth. “Oh my god, old leader. How could I move a chess piece privately? If you lose, you have to admit it. Besides, my carriage is also a sure-kill. What does it have to do with horses?”
The bodyguard standing behind did not dare to speak. At this moment, Mother Xu also came over and immediately gritted her teeth. “You old thing, are you playing dirty chess again?”
Old Master Li was stunned for a moment before he laughed coldly. “That’s right. Do you really think that I can see wrongly with my old eyes…”
“Eh!”
Just as they were talking, Old Master Li’s eyes rolled back and white foam came out of his mouth..
