Abandoned Son-in-law - C256 The Opening Ceremony Was Deserted
C256 The Opening Ceremony Was Deserted
The so-called black goods were obtained illegally in the antique circle. They couldn’t be seen in public, and they couldn’t be obtained from the auction house. Most of them were obtained through infighting.
Lin Muyun frowned. In any case, no matter what, as long as father-in-law accepted it, it would be fine.
He asked, “There’s no problem, right?”
“I, Zhang Ermao, wouldn’t dare to do something that Master Lin has instructed me to do. ” Zhang Ermao smiled coyly, hesitated for a moment, and said, “However, this batch of antiques is really good. I made a few of them myself and sold them to others to earn some pocket money. ”
“You made counterfeits?” Lin Muyun frowned.
Zhang Ermao quickly said, “Master Lin, don’t worry. I did not touch your goods at all. I found an expert in the circle and copied it! When the time comes, I’ll go to another market and sell it. I have channels, and I will definitely not give you any trouble! When I sell my goods, I am afraid that I will give you trouble, so I bought a recording pen for evidence. If I sell it for 300,000 to 500,000 dollars, I’ll give half of the money to you as a token of appreciation. . . ”
Lin Muyun did not care about the money he had. He coldly warned, “I don’t care where you sell it, but if the counterfeit appears in front of me, I will not spare you. ”
“Don’t worry, I’ll sell it in the capital!” Zhang Ermao promised.
Lin Muyun was unhappy. He should have known that Zhang Ermao was obsessed with money and wanted to get some money from his batch of antiques.
However, since it had already happened, he had no other choice. If he had known earlier, he would have let Du Long handle this matter.
After making the call, Lin Muyun was not in the mood to talk about the pharmaceutical factory anymore, so he went straight home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lau Qingyan’s car parked at the door and immediately went up to her.
“Wife, you got off work so early today?”
Lau Qingyan looked at him and her expression was cold. “Mom said she moved her waist and I went to the hospital to get the medicine for her. Mom said that you pushed her down yesterday and injured her waist. ”
“It really wasn’t me. ” Lin Muyun smiled bitterly.
However, Lau Qingyan heard his explanation. She closed the car door expressionlessly, brushed past him, and walked home.
Lin Muyun wanted to follow him, but he stopped and felt annoyed.
Between him and his wife, there was a “acting genius” Xu Feng. Even if he tried to explain himself, how could he compare to Xu Feng’s acting skills?
Furthermore, the matter of his mother coming to Jinling in a few days’ time gave him a headache and he had no time to explain.
Just as Lau Qingyan was about to walk into the house, she suddenly turned around and said, “Dad’s antique store will open tomorrow. Dad wants us to go together. You go and book a flower basket. ”
“Okay. ”
Lin Muyun quickly agreed. He thought that this was father-in-law making a good opportunity for himself and his wife. He must seize it.
However, Lau Qingyan’s next sentence dispelled his thoughts.
“Oh right, Mom wants me to go with her. She doesn’t want to sit in the same car as you. You can order a flower basket and come over directly. ”
Lin Muyun was speechless.
This mother-in-law who stirred up trouble, shouldn’t she interfere in between him and his wife?
However, Lin Muyun still had to do something to celebrate the opening of father-in-law’s Antique Shop. He called Wang Lixue and asked him to prepare a few big flower baskets and send them there in the morning.
The next morning, Lin Muyun rode the electric scooter towards Gu Dong Street.
When he arrived at Gu Dong Street, he heard gongs, drums, and firecrackers. He saw a sea of people on the street. There was also a group of people dancing with dragon lanterns in the square, celebrating the opening of the new shop.
Lin Muyun was surprised in his heart. The opening ceremony would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. It seemed like his mother-in-law was really willing to spend money this time.
The newly opened shop was right in the middle of the antique street, and it was the best seat.
The two side shops were very spacious. There were all kinds of antiques placed inside. Seven to eight ceremonial young ladies wearing cheongsam were giving out leaflets to the crowd with smiles on their faces.
Lin Muyun was about to walk over when someone suddenly called out from behind him.
“Where are you going?”
He turned his head and was surprised to find Lau Qingyan standing at the entrance of a shop next to him, frowning at him.
Lin Muyun was stunned and said, “Isn’t this father’s Antique Shop?”
Lau Qingyan said unhappily, “You don’t even look at the signboard. This is the way. ”
Lin Muyun looked up and saw that the name “Yuanming Hall” was written on the antique shop. He turned around and saw that there was also a Antique Shop behind Lau Qingyan.
But this Antique Shop was pitifully small. At most, it was thirty square meters. The decoration was old and dilapidated. There were three or four flower baskets at the door.
He was stunned for a moment. If it wasn’t for the fact that the store contained the batch of antiques he had bought, he really wouldn’t have been able to tell. This shabby shop was actually father-in-law’s Antique Shop?
Lin Muyun had no choice but to turn around and walk over.
Lau Qingyan said, “The opposite antique store ‘Yuanming Hall’ was purchased by an antique store. The expansion of the store today also coincides with Dad’s opening hours. ”
There were twenty to thirty flower baskets outside the door. It was almost impossible to put down the sidewalk. There was also a group of gorgeously dressed female salesmen. The stereo and loudspeaker next to them were loudly playing “a great reward,” attracting a lot of people to watch.
A fat man in a Tang suit stood at the entrance of the shop. He had a red face and was chatting with a few people in suits and shoes who looked like successful people with a smile on their face.
Father-in-law looked at Lau Qingyan, who was standing alone at the entrance of father-in-law’s shop. It was so cold and quiet.
“Muyun, don’t look anymore. ” Lau Minghou walked out of the shop awkwardly. He sighed and said, “The popularity has been snatched away by that shop. The customers are all bosses in the industry. We can’t compete with them. ”
“Really?”
Lin Muyun took a closer look and found that among the guests, there were a few familiar faces that had appeared on the TV.
The red banners hanging at the entrance were almost all the same.
“Director Jin of Kim Family Corporation, I wish you the best of luck. ”
“President Li of Jiang City Chamber of Commerce, congratulations on your grand opening!”
“Director Meng of Meng City Company, I wish you a grand opening!”
. . .
Lin Muyun furrowed his brows as well. He didn’t know any guests, but he knew that these few companies were all large companies with hundreds of millions of assets in Nanguang Region!
The bosses actually came personally to celebrate the opening of a small antique store.
What was even more ridiculous was that there was a banner given by a few superstars in the banner.
There was a superstar with the surname Liang. He was actually the movie king of Jing City, whose appearance fee was as high as tens of millions!
This was even more incredible!
Fortunately, the movie king only sent his assistant over, or else the entire Jinling would be in an uproar!
Who exactly was the boss behind the scenes of the Yuanming Hall?
At this moment, two security guards walked over with big strides. With a kick, they knocked over the small flower basket at the entrance and called for people to bring the big flower basket over.
“What are you doing!?” Lau Minghou shouted angrily.
“The Yuanming Hall is opening its business. Director Du from the Four Direction Auction House has given us two big flower baskets. Take these small flower baskets and scram to the side. Don’t delay the opening of our shop!”
When they heard the words “Four Direction Auction House,” the crowd immediately cried out in surprise.
“It’s actually Boss Du. That’s the big shot in the Jing City’s antique circle. I never thought that he would actually give the Yuanming Hall flower baskets!”
“This Boss Du is also a heavyweight guest of the Treasure Appraisal program. He’s an archaeological professor in the university. His lectures are hard to come by. He has won several awards overseas and is a celebrity!”
“He is my idol. I didn’t expect that Boss Du would also come. I have to get his autograph!”
Lin Muyun saw the excitement in the crowd and asked Lau Minghou, “Dad, is this person famous?”
He had never heard of him.
