"Old Wang! Old Wang, what's wrong? Are you okay, Old Wang?"
Hearing Old Li say the word 'yes,' the fat boss who had just squeezed in rolled his eyes, shivered all over, and suddenly felt life was meaningless. He staggered back two steps, fortunately caught by a regular customer who knew him.
"F-f-five hundred thousand..." The fat boss's eyes widened as he kept muttering.
"Sigh~ Old Wang, you've heard about this, haven't you? This young man's luck is unbelievable. He bought a bronze wine cup for two thousand yuan, and Old Li is willing to pay Five hundred thousand for it..."
The regular customer supported the fat boss while sighing, "I heard this bronze wine cup was bought at our market. Who knows which stall it came from? They must be regretting it now!"
The fat boss's face was full of sorrow.
"Hey, wait a minute, Old Wang. Why do you look like this? Could it be that the bronze wine cup was bought from your stall?" The regular customer glanced at the fat boss's ashen face and suddenly asked.
"Heh, heh heh..."
The fat boss forced a smile, a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and replied, "How, how could it be? I've been in this market for ten years. You all know, if this bronze wine cup was really sold from my stall, how could I not see its value? Right?"
"Hmm~ That's true..." The person nodded, then asked again, "But why do you look so strange..."
"Ah, the sun is too strong, making me feel uncomfortable all over." The fat boss explained.
"The sun is too strong...?"
The person looked up at the sky, even more puzzled, "But it's clearly cloudy today?"
"Ah? No, no, it was yesterday's sun. I'm just feeling uncomfortable today... Forget it, I won't watch the excitement today. I'll go back and rest..."
After speaking, the fat boss looked sadly at Bai Wu and the bronze wine cup in his hands, then prepared to leave shakily.

Out of sight, out of mind!
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" The voice of the Little Red-Dressed Beauty suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Oh my god, I've lost big time!" The fat boss's body stiffened, his movements halted.
Bai Wu looked up and immediately saw the Little Red-Dressed Beauty at the forefront of the crowd.
With a beauty of this caliber, the old Bai Wu wouldn't even dare to glance at her.
They were clearly from two different worlds!
But now, things were different.
Bai Wu appreciatively sized up the Little Red-Dressed Beauty, then noticed the fat boss's stiff, dark face not far from her.
Sensing Bai Wu's gaze, the fat boss forced a grin, baring his teeth, with a smile that was a thousand times more painful than crying.
"Hey!!!"
Bai Wu exaggeratedly pointed at the fat boss, "Boss, you're here too! I just bought this bronze wine cup from you for two thousand yuan, and it can actually sell for over fifty thousand!"
Fat Boss: "..."
Swish, swish, swish!
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to the fat boss's dark face.
"Isn't that Old Wang?"
"Gasp~ Even someone as shrewd as Old Wang can make a mistake?"
"My god, Old Wang, did you really sell this bronze wine cup? And for only two thousand?"
"Hahahaha!"
The fat boss's face was full of embarrassment: "..."
"Well, Old Wang, the stingiest and shrewdest person in the entire antique free trading market, even you have a day like this, hahaha!" The regular customer who had supported the fat boss earlier patted his shoulder and laughed.
The fat boss's face was covered in black lines.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
My reputation, all ruined!
How can I continue to mix here in the future!

"Young lady, this is a bit unreasonable. I've already agreed on a price with this young man, and now you suddenly step in, what does that mean?" Old Li asked the Little Red-Dressed Beauty with some displeasure.
"Old gentleman, you haven't completed the transaction yet..." The Little Red-Dressed Beauty explained with a smile.
Both of them turned to look at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu shrugged.
Old Li took a deep breath, and a few seconds later, he spoke, "Five hundred and sixty thousand!"
Fat Boss: "..."
"Five hundred and seventy thousand!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty didn't hesitate.
Fat Boss: "..."
"Five hundred and eighty thousand!" Old Li spoke again.
Fat Boss: "..."
"six hundred thousand!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty looked determined to get the bronze wine cup.
Fat Boss: "..."
"Sev..."
Old Li started to speak, but suddenly paused, staring at the Little Red-Dressed Beauty for several seconds before suddenly asking, "What is your relationship with that old ghost from the Di family?"
The Little Red-Dressed Beauty was taken aback, "My grandfather is Di Menan!"
"Are you the precious granddaughter Di Qingqing that old ghost Di Menan often mentions?" Old Li asked.
"Old gentleman, you are..." Di Qingqing shrank her head.
"It's really a case of the flood washing over the Dragon King's temple. You, little girl, are you here to buy this bronze wine cup because of your grandfather?" Old Li laughed.
"Yes, yes." Di Qingqing nodded.
"I am Li Weiguo, like your grandfather, a professor in the history department at Hang City University. Qingqing, you can just call me Grandpa Li!" Li Weiguo said with a kind smile.
"Oh! You are the old immortal my grandfather often mentioned, who grew up wearing open-crotch pants together..."
As Di Qingqing spoke, she realized something was wrong, quickly shook her head, and sweetly called out, "Grandpa Li!"
"Ah, Little Di, how is your old ghost grandfather's health lately..."
"My grandfather is quite well recently, he goes for a morning run every day..."
"..."
Watching the two of them chat away, Bai Wu's face was full of black lines.
But considering they were wealthy, Bai Wu didn't interrupt.
However, five minutes later.
The two were still chatting.
Bai Wu: "..."
Ten minutes later.
"Ahem!"
Bai Wu couldn't hold back any longer, coughed twice, and asked, "I say, Old Li, Little Di, are you still buying this bronze wine cup?"
