Chapter 4 - Is it blackmail or taking advantage?

It was only then that Qin Hao realized that his straightforward words just now were very likely to be misunderstood. His expression paused for a moment, then he cleared his throat, trying to hide the awkwardness of that split second.

"Cough..." "Cough." "

He bent down and looked at Wu Liang, who was curled up on the ground.

Wu Liang was so frightened by this action that his whole body trembled and he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face.

Qin Hao was silent for a few seconds, and his forehead twitched.

Is he the kind of street bully who throws fists at the slightest provocation?

Or is it... Did that scolding just now leave a psychological shadow on Wu Babapi, the old slug?

Sighing helplessly, he could only patiently explain:

"Perhaps you misunderstood that sentence just now. I'll say it again -"

"Explanation?" You still want to explain? You just want to blackmail me!" Wu Liang roared in his heart but dared not utter a word on the surface. He could even swear that if he had had a direct confrontation with Qin Hao just a couple of times, he would never have ended up in such a predicament of being forced to be scolded.

Qin Hao watched his expression change again and again, then pointed to the nearby bookcase, his tone serious to the point of being almost formal:

Don't worry. I won't touch the genuine items of high value in your store. I only pick counterfeit goods to offset my wages."

Wu Liang was stunned.

He carefully observed Qin Hao's expression. In just a few seconds, his mind had already been spinning several times.

There are quite a few counterfeits in Jiyun Pavilion. Some are high-quality fakes worth tens of thousands of yuan, while others are only worth a few thousand or even a few hundred yuan. But no matter how you look at it, having the other party pick out counterfeit goods is actually less risky and more cost-effective.

He quickly set a strategy and immediately retorted:

"Then I'll make it clear. You can't touch the 'Xiaojiang Landscape Painting', nor can you touch the ancient Pan inkstone!" There are also jadeite and raw jade stones that are too expensive! Besides, I must go through the things you picked again and confirm them before I can take them away for you!"

After saying that, he even felt that the deal was very secure himself. Counterfeit goods can be used to offset wages, especially those with a cost of only a few thousand... Why not do it? The final decision still lies in his hands, which is more secure.

Qin Hao didn't care about this and immediately reached out his hand to high-five him

After all, with the eyes of the Taotie around, how could he worry about not finding the flaw?

But Wu Liang seemed to be startled. With a shudder, he curled up into a ball again.

Qin Hao was speechless and could only straighten up, Shouting at the colleagues and workers who were gathered at the door:

"Dear bosses who are just watching the spectacle and my fellow workers like me - please give me a witness." Wu Liang promised me personally that I would only pick the fake ones and never touch the real ones.

The onlookers immediately went wild:

"It doesn't matter to testify, but Wu Laogou's character..." "

"What are you afraid of? There's surveillance!" It makes no difference whether we talk or not!"

"... What if he doesn't even recognize the surveillance footage?"

When Qin Hao heard this sentence, he suddenly realized a key point.

He turned his head to look at the southeast corner, where the 360-degree surveillance camera with no blind spots was rotating steadily.

With this thing around, even if Wu Babapi wants to play some tricks, he won't be able to turn things around.

He shook his head and faced Wu Liang:

"I'm starting to choose." "Will you follow?" "

Wu Liang was stunned for half a second, then immediately got up and stuck tightly behind Qin Hao - judging from his posture, he wanted to keep a close eye on every move of his.

As for that group of onlookers at the door?

Wu Liang snorted coldly in his heart.

Even if he were to retire after handing over the store to the eldest daughter of the Si family in the afternoon, how could he still expect to befriend this group of colleagues? Dreaming.

Qin Hao ignored him and walked towards the nearest bookcase on his own.

There are over two hundred items on display in the Jiyun Pavilion, with genuine and fake items mixed together, and about 70% of them are fakes. The counterfeit goods are also classified into different grades, and all the placement positions have been carefully arranged by Wu Liang.

Qin Hao picked up a bright red jade ring and spoke calmly:

This blood jade ring, which is claimed to have come from the tomb of the King of Xiangnan in the Han Dynasty, is fake. The workmanship is good. It was made with waste jade from Dushan and chemical raw materials for coloring for a week."

Wu Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.

This thing costs no more than two thousand yuan.

If he were really chosen by Qin Hao, he would definitely make a fortune.

Qin Hao put the jade ring back and then looked at a piece of jadeite priced at 320,000. He shook his head

If it's true, this price isn't outrageous. What a pity - it's a high-end counterfeit made of scraps. Wu Babapi, you bid 320,000. Does your conscience still exist?"

Wu Liang pursed his lips.

If he had a conscience, how could he have ended up in such a situation back then?

He immediately retorted:

The price tag is the price tag. I didn't force the customer to buy it! And the cost for me to get it back would be several hundred, okay? ... What? Do you like this? I was wrong. The cost is actually several thousand! It's made so realistically. If you take it out, you'll definitely deceive people!

Qin Hao sneered and threw the jade back directly.

After that, he successively picked out several fakes and commented on each one.

Wu Liang's emotions were like a roller coaster ride, constantly fluctuating along the way. His face was filled with joy and anger, and eventually he was tortured to the point of completely losing patience.

You keep picking like this without end? Are you walking the dog? ! Choose it yourself! Call me when you've made your choice!"

He threw out this sentence and stormed back to the counter.

Qin Hao was actually quite happy and relaxed.

With Wu Liang keeping an eye on him, he dared not fully use the eyes of the Taotie.

Now that he had sent the other party away, he could finally make a full judgment on those several jade articles that were hard to distinguish as genuine or fake.

Returning to the jade area, he picked up a pair of jade butterflies.

The carving is rough, the jade quality is dull with spots, and it looks like ordinary inferior jade.

But Qin Hao didn't rush to make a judgment. Instead, he let the eyes of the Taotie slowly open - light and shadow flickered gently in the depth of his eyes.

Something that has been camouflaged layer upon layer seems to be about to reveal its true form...
