Chapter 339
Chapter 339 Troublemaker
The group of onlookers burst into discussions .
“No way! Xiangyun Antique-store deceives consumers?”
“Xiangyun Antique-store may not have done it in the past, but it’s hard to tell now since its boss has changed . ”
“Exactly, businessmen only care about profits!”
“I think the new boss is ruining Xiangyun Antique-store’s reputation!”
“True!”
Chen Darong didn’t panic but calmly looked at the middle-aged man who was causing trouble in the store . “Mr . Wu, are you sure that this is the teapot that you bought from Xiangyun Antique-store?”
Mr . Wu ran a restaurant outside of the antique street . He was rich and loved to collect antiques . Unfortunately, he didn’t know much about antiques .
“Are you kidding me? If it’s not, I wouldn’t come here! It’s the same as the picture!” Mr . Wu was angry .
“Really? Let me check first,” Chen Darong said . Mr . Wu then gave the teapot to Chen Darong without hesitation, like he wasn’t lying at all .
Chen Darong had a closer look of the teapot then said, “You’re right . It indeed looks the same as the one in the picture, but there is something very different . ”
“Where?” Mr . Wu was nervous, and refused to believe it . Obviously, Mr . Wu came to cause them trouble on purpose . Both Chen Darong and Gu Ning, who was outside, were aware of that .
Chen Darong sneered and asked, “Did you bring the picture with you? I can point it out for you . ”
Seeing Chen Darong being so confident, Mr . Wu, instead, hesitated . Is there really something different? He thought to himself . Impossible! It is an exact replica of the real one . How come it’s different?
“It seems that you don’t have the picture with you . Don’t worry . I do,” Chen Darong smiled after Mr . Wu remained silent for a long while . “Jian, go and get the contract of the teapot for me . ”
The purchasing of real antiques required the signing of a contract between the seller and the buyer . Not only the text contract, but also the full-scale high-definition pictures of the objects needed signing, in order to prevent such things from happening . Some people might buy the real antiques, and use fakes to extort money .
“No problem . ” Jian was a worker in Xiangyun Antique-store . He immediately went to the document room .
At this time, Mr . Wu felt more nervous, because this teapot wasn’t the real one . Although it was an exact replica, it was fake . However he couldn’t back away now . Thinking for a while, Mr . Wu forced himself to face it .
Jian gave Chen Darong the contract that they had signed with Mr . Wu, but Chen Darong didn’t open it right away . Instead, he said seriously to Mr . Wu, “Mr . Wu, I don’t know why you had to do this today, but if you’re willing to stop it now, and apologize, I can pretend that nothing has happened . If you insist, I won’t show any sympathy . ”
Mr . Wu, however, felt humiliated . If he stopped it right now, it would mean that he admitted that he used the replica to try to extort money, which was quite shameful . Thus Mr . Wu argued in anger, “Chen Darong, don’t ever try to scare me . I did buy this teapot at Xiangyun Antique-store!”
Mr . Wu ignored the worse result that would occur if his scheme was exposed directly in public in the end .
“Well, since you insist, you can’t blame me . ” Chen Darong didn’t bother to waste time arguing with Mr . Wu any longer . “In fact, the clearest proof isn’t the difference between this one and that one in the picture, but that this teapot is newly made . There is a smell of smoke around it too!”
Saying that, Chen Darong looked straight at Mr . Wu . “Mr . Wu, I think that you’re too impatient and stupid . ”
Hearing that, everyone was surprised .
“What? It’s fake?”
“I knew Xiangyun Antique-store wouldn’t do such a thing!”
“Exactly, I think Mr . Wu is so shameless to try to trap Xiangyun Antique-store . ”
“I agree!”
Most of the people chose to believe Xiangyun Antique-store, so they all defended Chen Darong .
“It’s bullshit!” Mr . Wu raised his voice in anger, but wasn’t confident . He didn’t expect that Chen Darong had such an acute sense of smell . To be exact, he didn’t know that there would be a smoke smell around the newly-made teapot .
Chen Darong wasn’t irritated at all . “If you don’t believe me, you can invite Master Zuo to come here . ”
Master Zuo was a household name in the antique street . He was both an antique expert and a skillful handicrafts maker . Everyone had great respect for him, and he was well-known for his honesty . Therefore, once Master Zuo showed up, people would believe him .
Hearing that, Me . Wu panicked . He tried to grab the teapot, but was stopped by Chen Darong .
His action totally exposed his scheme .
“Jian, call the police!” Chen Darong was a kind person, but not a coward . Since Mr . Wu insisted on shaming himself in public, he wouldn’t mind helping him . And it was also a great chance for him to set an example, in case such a thing happened again .
Mr . Wu immediately begged Chen Darong, “Mr . Chen, it’s all my fault . Please forgive me this time! I promise that I won’t do it again . ”
However, Chen Darong ignored him . Seeing that, Mr . Wu wanted to escape, but was caught by Chen Darong .
“Chen Darong, you better let me go now, or my cousin-in-law will get revenge on you!” Mr . Wu threatened . Mr . Wu’s cousin-in-law was the boss of Guyun Antique-store which was also located at this antique street, and his name was Zhang Hongqiang . Once Mr . Wu mentioned Zhang Hongqiang, many people started to realize the dirty secret behind Mr . Wu’s scheme .
Guyun Antique-store wasn’t far from Xiangyun Antique-store . Although Guyun Antique-store was popular too, it couldn’t compare with Xiangyun Antique-store . Therefore, Xiangyun Antique-store was always Guyun Antique-store’s opponent . The previous boss of Xiangyun Antique-store was a member of the Antiques Association, so Zhang Hongming didn’t dare to cause him trouble, even though Zhang Hongming also had powerful support . He had schemed against Xiangyun Antique-store in vain before .
However, now Xiangyun Antique-store had a new boss . Zhang Hongming also found out that the new boss was just a young girl, so he couldn’t wait to damage Xiangyun Antique-store .
“Be my guest then . ” Chen Darong wasn’t afraid at all .
“You…” Mr . Wu was mad .
Before long, policemen arrived and took Mr . Wu away . The crowd dispersed later too . Gu Ning didn’t walk inside until then .
Seeing Gu Ning coming, Chen Darong immediately went out to welcome her . “Nice to meet you, boss!”
