God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1512 Times have changed
"...I'm going home tonight."

"Sister Lin is willing to let me spend the night alone?"

"Your boss Xu will spend the night alone? Why don't I believe that at all?"

"Ahem, this is believable."

"Do you believe me or not?" Cheng Lin gave Xu Jingxing a blank look, but then said while holding his arm, "Let's go eat."

Xu Jingxing had a good time, and took Cheng Lin to eat at the restaurant he ordered in the afternoon.

Talk about eating, but when the two of you get together, eating is the most important thing.

After a meal, the two of them didn't even remember what they ate, but they were so gluey that they almost lost their temper.

After dinner, I drove Cheng Lin home.

In the hut where Cheng Lin lived, Xu Jingxing tossed off his shoes and put on slippers as if he was going back to his own home. He even took off his jacket and trousers, and directly changed into the home clothes Cheng Lin had prepared, in a mess of randomness.

Cheng Lin rolled his eyes at him a few times, protested a few words verbally, and could only let him go.

Now that he is such an adult, he doesn't need to say what is on his mind, and he knows what will happen at night.

But after washing up, I always feel that the atmosphere is a little bit worse.

Similarly, Cheng Lin also showed a certain degree of resistance.

Although Cheng Lin would definitely give up resistance if she was tougher and persisted for a while, but...

He still relaxed his movements slowly, until he finally fell asleep with Cheng Lin in his arms, just like they had just confirmed their relationship in Kecheng.

The next morning, after Cheng Lin woke up, she took the initiative to kiss Xu Jingxing, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, good brother."

Xu Jingxing coughed, and hugged Cheng Lin tightly in his arms with his backhand, but didn't answer the question.

Because it's kind of embarrassing.

The reason why he didn't complete the follow-up work of conquering the city and land was actually because he was concerned about Cheng Lin's mood and feelings.If there were no things that happened two years ago, it would be logical for the two of them to do what they did, but there was such a bloody plot between the two of them, and they just got back together for less than three days. If the distance between them becomes a negative number, there will always be a very awkward feeling, especially on Cheng Lin's side. If it spreads, it may not be known what others will think of Cheng Lin.

Of course, other people's opinions are not important, but Cheng Lin is a normal person, and a normal little woman also has her own little thoughts and emotions.

Anyway, quite complicated.

And he happened to be able to feel the emotional fluctuations of the woman in his arms, and he didn't want to be reunited with her as Cheng Lin thought of "greeding her body", so he temporarily gave up the siege.

But now it seems that the temporary ceasefire is really useful, and the little embarrassment that was obvious before has disappeared with the arrival of this morning.

What to do at this time will only be more natural than last night.

Unfortunately, both of them were hungry.

He didn't eat well at the restaurant yesterday, and his stomach was growling even in the middle of the night.

So get up after making out for a little while.

Anyway, there is plenty of time.

After getting up to cook, although Cheng Lin didn't cook much, she still had rice, noodles and rapeseed, seasoned and complete. Xu Jingxing cooked a pot of white porridge and a pot of simple stewed noodles by himself, and had a delicious meal.

The so-called being full of water, the two of them ate a simple breakfast in a small room, but they felt extraordinarily enjoyable.

After the meal, Xu Jingxing and Cheng Lin handled the fan and hung it on the partition wall in the living room. They put the other three treasures away before they were ready to go out.

But as soon as he left the house, he received a message from Boss Sun, whom he had dealt with yesterday: "Mr. Xu, a friend of mine has a group of bad guys ready to sell. Are you interested?"

Xu Jingxing refused without even thinking about it. Adding Boss Sun as a friend yesterday was just for the sake of face. Moments and other permissions are not open to the other party, and the group is also in the passerby group, which is completely dispensable that role.

What's more, Sun's impression on him was not good, to be precise, it was very bad.

So he doesn't want to deal with each other very much.

But Cheng Lin had sharp eyes, "Can you pick up the leak again?"

He shook his head: "It's very likely that the trip was for nothing, and maybe there will be trouble."

"Trouble? What trouble?"

"It's those messy things, there is a high probability that there is a pit."

"Ah? Doesn't he know you? How dare he cheat you?"

"...This idea, it is celebrities who are cheated, and experts who are cheated, especially celebrities in the industry who are well-known and rich like me are the easiest targets to be scammed, because people like me have a high probability of being cheated. I am willing to publicize it because I am afraid of damage to my reputation, and even if I publicize it, I will not use drastic means to trouble them, the most important thing is that once I succeed, it will be enough for them to eat for a while."

Xu Jingxing briefly explained the situation, making Cheng Lin aware of the darkness in this circle.

Cheng Lin's eyes widened in surprise: "That one named Sun is so dark?"

"You just know? If I hadn't been cautious enough, I would have fallen yesterday."

"Yesterday? When?"

"That's when he called us back—"

"Ah, I remembered, the painting he gave was wrong, and it was replaced with a real one later. This person really, really deserves the wall!"

Xu Jingxing nodded, "This is an effective tactic used by some people in the circle, so most people never let the transaction out of their sight when making a transaction, because once the contract is transferred, once the deal is completed, you can find the back account if you want If you don't come back, even the law can't do anything about it, just like yesterday, the painting surnamed Sun took out was almost exactly the same as the one I wanted to buy, and the painting was not bad, it was a very high-quality imitation, one real and one fake. It is very problematic for two paintings to appear in the same place, not to mention that they 'take the wrong one' so coincidentally, it is obviously out of intention to deceive me, if I accidentally complete the transaction directly, even if the problem is found to be wrong afterwards, the surname Sun can be justified It is said that what I fancy is the high imitation, anyway, no one can produce any evidence."

"It's too dark, if it were me, I would just smash his shop."

"It's useless, people like that can't be killed and will never be killed, and we can't let them stop selling high-quality imitations, so we can only keep our eyes open."

"So you didn't expose the other party, is this considered a rule?"

"What kind of rule is this?"

"Isn't that what they all say? This is the rule of the antique shop."

"The fart rules, it's just that everyone doesn't want to cause trouble. If you really can't see it, it's okay to expose the other party directly or even directly fuck him, but those who do this kind of thing are often gangs. Ruthless, most collectors dare not provoke them and can only swallow their breath."

"Then why has no one ever exposed them?"

"It's not that no one has exposed it, it's that someone has exposed it but it's useless," Xu Jingxing patiently explained: "The so-called industry rules do exist, but the so-called hidden rule is that the other party can sell fakes and even everyone acquiesces in the business of making fakes and making old ones. It’s not that you can’t speak up after being cheated.

"In other words, the other party can make fakes, and you can also settle the bill after buying fakes, but the premise is that you have to ensure your personal safety, because the other party will not reason with you like a normal businessman, so insiders are making mistakes. When you settle accounts after somersault, you usually have to find a respected senior or someone in the industry to come forward to help recover part of the losses, instead of going to the door alone, that is basically giving away the head, which is why most collectors The reason why I hate the manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods but have no choice.”

Cheng Lin suddenly said, "That is to say, there is no such rule that you can't tell the other party to sell fake goods in person. It's just that everyone is afraid that those people will cause trouble, so they are very polite, right?"

Xu Jingxing nodded: "That's the reason. Of course, there is a difference. One is the normal commercial shopping. For example, a hawker who sets up a street stall. There are real and fake on the stall. They are put there, and it is you who come up with it." If you buy a fake or see a fake, then you’d better keep silent, it’s because you have poor eyesight, but the one with the surname Sun is different, it’s not simple digging, but theft or even robbery Vicious crimes, between the two, the former can barely be said to be the norm, but for the latter, no one will say that you broke the rules when you see one report and the other, and you will only applaud, which is very different."

Cheng Lin nodded again, "I thought that when encountering such a thing in the antique circle, I could only swallow my breath."

Of course this is not the case. In fact, it is impossible for any industry to have such regulations.

All the rules are to ensure the prosperity of the industry, just as the existence of counterfeit products is a rule, but vicious crimes such as theft, subcontracting, forced trading, and deliberately setting up tricks to defraud money and antiques are completely opposite. What will destroy the industry has only disadvantages but no benefits, so how can it be regarded as a rule.

But most people nowadays don't understand these things, and regard swallowing their breath as a so-called "rule", which is simply ridiculous.

In addition, any industry that involves huge profits is not that simple. It is even more difficult to distinguish right from wrong and right from wrong across the board. When encountering things, you can’t simply rely on the "professional rules" and treat specific things in specific ways. the right way.

For example, Boss Sun's act of subcontracting yesterday, in normal times, Xu Jingxing would never let it go, but Cheng Lin was there yesterday, so he endured it.

He can't say wrong about the same thing, because he thinks about things from different angles.

A cliché - the adult world is never easy.

Even Xu Jingxing's open-minded existence cannot really do whatever he wants.

In this society, people who dare to do whatever they want will have no good end, only sooner or later.

The low-level ones, just the owner of the antique shop surnamed Sun, it’s fine if nothing happens. If something happens, you don’t know how to die. The reason is very simple. Those shady methods are indeed invincible in the era of backward law and order, but now...

Times have changed, really.
