Huo Sining didn't know that Zhou Shitao was joking with her. Although she was somewhat disappointed at not being able to own the bowl, she quickly adjusted her mood:
"When will they come to collect it? Teacher, you'll have to vouch for me then. This bowl cost me one hundred and fifty thousand to buy. If they take the bowl away, that's fine, but they can't forget to reimburse me the one hundred and fifty thousand. Otherwise, your apprentice here will be at a huge loss."
Huo Sining wasn't foolish. Although she cherished the porcelain bowl, she wasn't that fixated on it. Since the museum was interested, she didn't insist on keeping it.
However, she wasn't willing to be taken for a fool, to lose out on one hundred and fifty thousand without ending up with the item—that was a kind of loss-making deal she refused to make.
