Thin friendship

By the time Guo Baba came back, Cao Yuande had already left. Before that, they had gone to a nearby bank branch, and Cao Yuande transferred twenty - five thousand yuan to Yang Bo. This price was extremely high. In the market, the price of such a String - Patterned Jue was usually between ten thousand and fifteen thousand yuan. Even with the three additional inscriptions, twenty thousand yuan would be the maximum. However, Cao Yuande directly transferred twenty - five thousand yuan.

Cao Yuande was very generous. According to him, he was buying a gift for someone, and that person didn't care about the cost. This item was just right, so an extra amount didn't matter.

When seeing Cao Yuande off, Yang Bo clenched his fists. He was one step closer to his goal!

When Guo Baba returned, he saw Yang Bo lying on the table. He couldn't help patting the table, "Hey! Yang Bo, don't sleep. Hurry up and clean!"

Yang Bo looked up, his eyes feeling very sore. "I've already cleaned," he said.

In fact, he hadn't cleaned at all. The antique shop was cleaned every day, but there weren't many customers, so it was hard to tell whether it had been cleaned or not.

Guo Baba obviously wouldn't let him off so easily. "After cleaning, you can still stand outside the door to welcome customers!"

Yang Bo couldn't help frowning. He knew very well that every boss didn't want their assistants to be idle. However, the business of an antique shop didn't rely on attracting customers at the door. This was just making things difficult for people. Not wanting to argue with the boss, he asked, "Boss, when you went to Zhanyuan Road just now, was that stall still there?"

At the mention of this, Guo Baba became angry. "Don't mention it. When I arrived, the vendor was packing up. When I said I wanted to have a look, the vendor ignored me and turned around, picked up the package, and ran away!"

"Oh, guess what? I turned around and saw two urban management officers coming! The vendor was obviously scared away. Alas!"

Yang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Boss, don't be discouraged. Think about it. What time was it then? It was almost nine o'clock, right? The urban management officers had started working, so the vendor naturally had to run. If you go earlier tomorrow, you should be able to catch up."

Guo Baba was stunned for a moment, and then he became excited. "You're right. Your little brain is smart. Yes, since the vendor was there today, he should be there tomorrow too!"

"However, these small vendors are really annoying! We rent the shop with great effort, and we have to pay two to three hundred thousand yuan for rent and utilities every year. The vendors can just set up their stalls anywhere. It's really unfair!"

Guo Baba had decided to go there early tomorrow, but he still complained.

Yang Bo didn't say anything. He didn't go to stand at the door either. Instead, he changed his place, sat on a small bench, and started reading a book. After this conversation, both of them seemed to have forgotten the previous instruction, and neither of them mentioned it again.

Another day passed. Yang Bo stayed in the shop reading. However, he was a bit impatient. He even wanted to rush home directly to persuade his father to be hospitalized for treatment. But he knew that the possibility of failure would be higher if he did that. If he had more than five hundred thousand yuan in hand, he could take his father to the hospital.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Baba left in his old, small car. After hesitating for a long time, Yang Bo finally couldn't resist the temptation. He locked the door and walked towards the Chaotian Palace Antique Market.

The Chaotian Palace Antique Market is a landmark in the collection field of Jinling and even the whole country. It is as well - known as Panjiayuan. Its brand origin can be traced back to the middle and late Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than a hundred years. The antique market is always open, but Yang Bo knew that only on weekends, when there were a large number of people, would the vendors bring out good items.

In the past two days, he had always wanted to go and have a look, but he had been delayed because he had to watch the shop or due to other miscellaneous matters. This time, he finally made up his mind. Even if Guo Baba found out that he closed the shop early, he still wanted to go. Time waits for no one!

As soon as he approached the antique market, he heard a lot of noise. A square appeared in front of him, filled with hundreds of stalls. It was bustling and very lively.

Yang Bo's heart was stirred. With so many items here, there should be a good harvest!

He walked and stopped. The items in front of him kept changing. Yang Bo felt that his eyes were starting to become blurry. There were many kinds of items here, but many of them were small items with not much value. It was more like a place where tourists bought gifts. No wonder there were many accents from all over the country.

After walking around for a while, he had no harvest at all. Yang Bo could feel that his eyes were a bit sore. Although he had only picked a few antiques to identify, his eyes could only last for a short time now and couldn't hold out for long.

"Da Bo!" A shout came from behind. Yang Bo didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Da Bo, why are you here? Don't you have to watch the shop?" Li Ling patted Yang Bo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I sneaked out," Yang Bo said, without hiding it.

Li Ling didn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "Come on. Don't lie to me. How could you dare to sneak out? Could you really lock up Good De Zhai?"

"I locked the door and came," Yang Bo said simply.

Li Ling was slightly surprised. "Really! Da Bo, you're great. You've got guts!"

Yang Bo smiled helplessly. "I've been there for too long. I just came out for a walk to relax."

Li Ling thought that Yang Bo was under too much pressure because of his father's situation, so he advised, "You, don't put too much pressure on yourself. This kind of thing isn't something you can achieve easily. Let things take their course."

Yang Bo smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. Li Ling was about the same age as him. They had had a lot of contact in the past two years, and they had a very good relationship. However, he didn't want to tell Li Ling about this. He always felt that he needed to be cautious before he achieved his goal.

"Oh, by the way, yesterday you were at the entrance of our shop and said you would come to see me later. I waited for you until very late, but you never came," Li Ling stared at Yang Bo and suddenly asked.

Yang Bo's heart was a little flustered, but he explained, "I encountered something later, and I was too busy and forgot. I'm really sorry."

The smile on Li Ling's face gradually disappeared. Without asking further, he quickly said, "Oh, I see. The business of Good De Zhai is really good. It's not like Bo Gu Tang. The business is very poor, and it hasn't opened for many days."

Yang Bo cursed Jia Huairen as a dishonest merchant in his heart, but said, "In this business, it's common for a shop not to open for three years and then make a big profit once it opens."

The two of them were being polite to each other, but both felt that the distance between them was getting further.
