Chapter 124 – A Buyer Shows Up (买主上门)
With another source of income, Jing Yunzhao had finally freed her heart from anxiety. Thinking of the blue and white porcelain pot sitting in her space, however, she started to reconsider.
The businessman who bought the blue and white porcelain pot in her past life was an opportunistic man, and he spread the news about it because the old man from Ning City was infatuated with chinaware. Only like this would he pay attention to it. Now, the thing was in her hands. If she were to remain her current status quo, then it would be dreadful if no one knew about the pot. In the end, she wouldn’t be able to sell it.
After considering it over, Jing Yunzhao decided to take a trip down to the electronics part of town on the way home. She bought a computer there, after all, news spread faster over the internet than in the real world by a touch.
Two days later, Jing Yunzhao was done setting up the internet. She opened a well-known site amongst curio/antique collectors. Uploading an image of the blue and white porcelain pot, she continued by filling in details about it, before lastly leaving her contact information.She could not be at peace knowing that something worth more than 2 million was in her hands. Now, all she had to do was wait patiently.
What surprised her, though, was that in less than a week, she had received a call.
Of course, she had been receiving a few related phone calls from others, but they all weren’t the ones she was looking for. Among them, most were unable to tell if her pot was authentic, so the price was also in a more careful range. The old man from her past life was different.
On the phone, the person’s voice was a little hoarse. The moment the call went through, he stated his name.
The elder’s last name was Tang. After introducing himself, his continued on, agitated, “Are you someone from Hua Ning County? You haven’t sold the blue and white porcelain pot yet?”
“Not yet.” Jing Yunzhao finally spoke up.
The old man surnamed Tang instantly let out a breath of relief. But at the same time, he was also surprised. The owner of the voice was a woman? It also seemed like she was quite young too?He didn’t care much about it though, at this point. “Then that’s good. I have the intention of buying that blue and white porcelain vase of yours, where do you think we could meet up?
That kind of blue and white porcelain pot from the Hongwu period were not commonly seen, ones that had been maintained as well as this one were even less common. He could not rest assured if he let his grandchildren substitute him to purchase this treasure.
In addition, he still needed to take look at it with his own eyes. What did those youngsters of his know?
“I still have to go to school, I don’t have time to head up to Ning City.” Jing Yunzhao was also in a bit of a difficult spot as she informed him.
Go to school? The old man was once again stunned, but he didn’t think about it too much and asked in a straightforward manner, “How about we do this: I will take a trip down to Hua Ning County tomorro- no, today. You should have heard about Tian Xiang Lou right? I’ll let someone book a box room for us, let’s have a face to face discussion there tonight at 6 o’clock!”
Jing Yunzhao considered it. 6pm was quite suitable for her, so she naturally agreed.
But the moment she thought about Tian Xiang Lou, Jing Yunzhao was a little helpless. She wouldn’t come across that Li Shaoyun guy again, right?
Though she had no malicious intentions towards him, she definitely felt that his attitude towards her the last time they met was a little weird. At the same time, he also had a gentlemanly temperament. He seemingly had overstepped his boundaries, but no one could tell where he was wrong. Facing this kind of complicated person, it would be better if she stayed further away from him.
Throughout the day, Jing Yunzhao’s mind kept drifting back to the blue and white porcelain pot. Seeing a rare moment of Jing Yunzhao being distracted while class was in session, Xiao Haiqing was continuously surprised. She even thought that Jing Yunzhao had met upon some trouble.
To say there was trouble, there definitely wasn’t. Compared to her past life, these past few days were already considered quite relaxed.
Because she could see the sight of Qian Hongye being tortured every day.
So much so that every time she passed by Qiao Hongye’s classroom door, she would see her resentful, heart-broken expression. She was even clenching her teeth. It was to the point where even her classmates had ganged up against her and moved her seat next to the trash can. The teacher in charge for Class 2 already had no chance of holding them back.
