POS machine transfer.
Nine million credited.
"Dear star-rated user, China Construction Bank reminds you that your account ending in 2333 has received a transfer of 9,000,000 yuan, with a balance of 9,454,860 yuan."
Retracting his gaze from the message.
Bai Wu looked up and gave the old gentleman a slight smile.
He gently reached out and pushed the Tri-Color Camel Figurine in front of the old gentleman, smiling as he said, "Old sir, it's yours now!"
The old gentleman carefully retrieved a box made of agarwood from the cabinet behind him and gently placed the Tri-Color Camel Figurine inside.
He closed the lid and let out a satisfied breath.
"Old sir, I won't disturb you any longer!"
Bai Wu stood up and nodded to the old gentleman.
"Mr. Bai, please wait a moment!"
The old gentleman took out a simple business card from his pocket and handed it to Bai Wu: "This is my card. If you come across any good items in the future, feel free to contact me. I will definitely offer you a satisfactory price!"
"I understand!"
Bai Wu glanced at the card and then said, "Che Yongkang, Mr. Che..."
The old gentleman, Che Yongkang, nodded kindly.
As Bai Wu descended the stairs and reached the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion, he saw a short-haired girl with glasses running over from a distance—it was Che Xiaoxiao, hurrying over.

"Damn, how did I not notice before that there are so many beauties around here? This short-haired cute girl is definitely above 93 points!"
Bai Wu's eyes lit up.
With her medium-short hair, large-framed glasses, and blue-and-white sportswear, Che Xiaoxiao gave off the impression of a schoolgirl who hadn't yet entered the big, bad world—pure, enticing, and making one want to hold her tightly and spoil her.
"Why is she in such a hurry? Could it be something urgent?"
Watching Che Xiaoxiao running towards him, Bai Wu couldn't help but speculate.
100%!
"Even if it's urgent, she shouldn't run so fast. What if she accidentally trips?"
100%!
"100%? Hmm? What does that mean?"
Bai Wu was puzzled. "Could it be that this short-haired girl is really going to trip?"
100%!
Bai Wu quickly shifted his gaze away from Che Xiaoxiao and scanned the area inside and outside the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion, identifying several places where Che Xiaoxiao might trip.
"Could it be that this short-haired girl trips on the steps?"
0%!
"Trips over the threshold?"
0%!
"Trips because she's running too fast and someone accidentally bumps into her?"
0%!
Bai Wu was met with three consecutive zeros.
He frowned slightly, "None of these? Then how does this short-haired girl trip? Could she actually trip over her own feet?"
100%!
"Uh..."
Bai Wu was stunned, at a loss for words.
At this moment, the short-haired girl, Che Xiaoxiao, was already panting as she reached the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
Standing still, she propped her hands on her knees, took a few breaths, then stepped up the stairs.
Reaching the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
"Whew, finally made it. Whew, hope, hope I'm not too late."
Che Xiaoxiao muttered to herself as she caught her breath, then walked into the store, brushing past Bai Wu at the door.
"Young lady, be careful not to trip over your own feet!" Bai Wu suddenly reminded her.
Che Xiaoxiao paused, looking at Bai Wu in confusion, "What?"
"I said, running in such a hurry, be careful not to trip over your own feet!" Bai Wu smiled slightly, repeating himself.
"Hah, funny. Do you know who I am?" Che Xiaoxiao asked arrogantly, puffing out her chest.
"No idea." Bai Wu shook his head.
"Listen up, I'm Che Xiaoxiao. Me, trip over my own feet? Funny!"
Che Xiaoxiao gave Bai Wu a once-over and then said, "I say, mister, your way of striking up a conversation is a bit outdated, isn't it? Are you still single?"
Bai Wu: "..."
Damn it, striking up a conversation!
Damn it, single!
I'm a married man now, okay?
Wait!
Hold on!
Che Xiaoxiao...
The surname Che...
"I remember Mr. Che Yongkang mentioned he has a granddaughter... Could this short-haired cute girl be her?"
As soon as Bai Wu had this thought, a percentage appeared before his eyes: 100%!
"Why is Mr. Che's granddaughter rushing over here?" Bai Wu wondered.
At this moment, Che Xiaoxiao shook her head and muttered to herself, "Oh no, oh no, Che Xiaoxiao, what are you doing flirting with a stranger at a time like this? I need to get that Tri-Color Camel Figurine back before Grandpa finds out what happened!"
"Tri-Color Camel Figurine!?"
Bai Wu was stunned, then widened his eyes, "No way, could it really be that Mr. Che was right, and this Tri-Color Camel Figurine was actually sold by his granddaughter?"
100%!
"This girl is really a squandering woman!"
Bai Wu glanced at Che Xiaoxiao, feeling a myriad of emotions, "A Tang Tri-Color Pottery worth ten million, sold for just two hundred yuan. I can't afford to mess with her..."
At this moment, Che Xiaoxiao hurriedly headed towards the counter on the first floor of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
And then.
Just as she was about to take her first step.
Her left toe kicked the heel of her right foot.
Then.
She lost her balance.
Just as Bai Wu had said.
She tripped over her own feet.
"Damn it—Crow! Mouth! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
