Chapter 45: Duan Fei Takes the Initiative

  Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Hong Yaqin looked at Zhang Yang in surprise, she had thought that Zhang Yang was going to buy jewelry at first, and when the salesperson called her Zhang Yang's girlfriend, she felt a little shy, but unexpectedly Zhang Yang was there to sell jewelry.

  Then a stunning scene happened, Zhang Yang opened his leather bag and took out a gold bar and put it on the counter. This was not enough, Zhang Yang continued to take out another one, and did not stop until he had taken out seven of them.

  "Waiter, I have seven ancestral gold bars here, and I want to sell them. I don't know what price you can offer?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  The waitress was taken aback, originally thinking that Zhang Yang's sale would only be some gold jewelry, and didn't expect it to be a gold bar. Moreover, so many of them, she couldn't make the decision on her own, and awkwardly smiled: "Sir, your amount is too large, I'm not authorized to handle this, may I call our manager over?"

  Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, then put the gold bars back again.

  The waitress walked out from behind the counter and went to find the lobby manager.

  "Manager, that gentleman wants to sell gold!" the waitress said.

  The lobby manager also noticed the scene just now and said, "How come there are so many?"

  The waitress nodded and said: "Seven gold bars, I weighed them roughly one kilogram each, a total of more than seven thousand grams. The quantity is too large, do you want to accept it or not?"

  The hall manager was also shocked, so much gold, it's really not a small number.

  "So many, I also can't make decisions. In that case, you go find Director Duan, the store manager said, when he's not around, Director Duan is in charge!" The lobby manager said.

  The waitress hesitated for a moment, and Duan Fei had only just arrived. She was afraid of Duan Fei's foul language and the fact that he always cursed with his mother. Thinking about the generous tips, she hesitated again before opening the door and walking out.

  "Director Duang, there is a client selling gold and needs you to entertain him." The female waitress said cautiously.

  "What the hell, can't you see I'm busy? Everything has to be asked of me, what's the point of having you guys?" Duan Fei said irritably.

  "The quantity is too large, we don't dare to take charge. Director Duan, you'd better have a look!" The female waitress pleaded.

  Duan Fei took a glance at the waitress, the little girl looked pretty good, with a pair of big eyes, most importantly her breasts were high and perky, looking very promising.

  Duan Fei sneered a few times and said: "Forget it, I'll help you out because you're a beauty. Remember that you owe Duan Ge a favor, and you have to return it in the future!"

  Shuāi duàn fēi kāi mén zǒu jìn le diàn lǐ.

  Translation: After finishing speaking, Shuai flew open the door and walked into the store.

  "Is it you?" Duan Fei recognized Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang smiled and said: "So you're the boss. This is an ancestral gold bar of mine, I want to cash it in, but the quantity is a bit large, I don't know if you can afford it here."

  Duan Fei sneered, showing off his gold teeth: "Kid, if all the shops in the capital can't afford it, I can. Now, let me take a look at that gold bar."

  Zhang Yang took out the gold bar again and placed it on the table.

  So many gold bars placed together is really shocking.

  Duan Fei's eyes flashed with a greedy light, but unfortunately his men didn't follow him, and Zhao Xing and the others were injured and didn't know when they would recover. If not for that, he could have robbed this little brat of one vote, which would be enough to make himself live a carefree life for a long time.

  Duan Fei has made a lot of money in casinos over the years, so he shouldn't be short of money. But with many families and mistresses to support, each woman asking him for money, without the extra income from casinos and nightclubs, his life is much harder now.

  Zhang Yang saw Duan Fei's greedy eyes, and indeed, a dog can't change its nature of eating feces. Duan Fei had suffered such a huge loss but still looked like he was up to no good. Although Zhang Yang didn't know what happened after he left, Duan Fei went from being a big boss to being demoted to the manager of this store, and he must have been taught a lesson. However, even so, he was still harboring evil intentions, and indeed, these scoundrels were harmless only when they couldn't move or act.

  Duan Fei suppressed his urge to grab them and coughed, saying: "Are you planning to sell all of these?"

  "If the price is right, of course we'll sell."

  Duan Fei thought for a moment that he had just arrived, although he was Xiao's representative, if he wanted to establish himself, he would have to achieve some results, wasn't this an opportunity?

  "No problem, you won't lose out on price," said Duan Fei. "Let's talk about it later, I'll have someone inspect the goods."

  "No problem."

  From start to finish, Hong Yaqin didn't say a word, and kept looking at Zhang Yang with curious eyes. What a strange guy, how did he end up with so many gold bars in his hands? No wonder he said he wanted to find projects to invest in, it turns out he really has some money on him!

  Later on, the appraiser walked over, holding the gold to verify its authenticity. Zhang Yang said to Hong Yaqin beside him: "Yaqin, follow him and take a look."

  Hong Yaqin nodded and said, "Okay."

  After Hong Yaqin left the room, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I don't know what to call this manager?"

  "Duan Fei, you can just call me Brother Duan. Kid, I'm afraid these gold bars have a shady origin. You don't need to explain, I can guess it myself - this isn't some ancestral inheritance or anything, is it? It's probably something a leader couldn't get rid of after collecting it and had you take care of it instead."

  Zhang Yang intentionally made a surprised expression, wanting to see what Duan Fei meant and how he would perform.

  Duan Fei smiled triumphantly and said, "Let me guess correctly, shall I? However, you don't have to be afraid. Duan Ge used to do this before. As for the gold, I can buy it from you at market price without any problem. But can you also help Duan Ge with a small favor?"

  Zhang Yang put on a wry smile and said, "So it's an encounter with a senior. I don't know what Brother Duan wants? You also know that I'm just working for others, many things are not up to me."

  "I understand, I understand. Did you see the emerald rough just now?" Duan Fei said.

  Zhang Yang feigned surprise and asked: "What is this jade rough stone?"

  Actually, after learning that his eyes had the ability to see through, Zhang Yang had considered ways to make a fortune. Gambling on jade was one of the methods he had thought of early on, but he didn't dare to participate recklessly because he wasn't familiar with the jade industry. However, he understood the market trends of jade and the basic steps of gambling on jade very clearly.

  Duan Fei scratched his head and said, "Jade rough stone is something that can be opened to reveal jade inside. You should know that the price of jade nowadays is extremely high. An ordinary pendant costs tens of thousands, and if the quality is slightly better, it's hundreds of thousands or even over a million. These jade rough stones are new arrivals at our store, but whether there's jade inside depends on one's luck."

  "This is a gamble, I think I saw it in the news." Zhang Yang said in agreement.

  "Not bad, it's a gamble. I'll give you the highest price for gold, you buy two blocks of gambling stones and take them back, just to help Brother Duan out, what do you think?" said Duan Fei.

  "That won't do! This money isn't mine, if I lose it I'll be done for."

  "Why are you always thinking about losing? You should think about winning! If you win the bet, a stone can turn into tens or even hundreds of times its value in an instant. At that time, the money from selling those gold bars won't be as much as yours. Think about it, when will you stop working for others? Don't you want to be your own boss, don't you want to have a house and a car? The woman next to you is your girlfriend, right? Have you noticed how she looks at those gold bars with longing eyes, hoping to have one of her own? But what about you? You can only sell them all away, getting very little for yourself. If this goes on, won't you be afraid that your girlfriend will leave you?" Duan Fei said.

  Duan Fei came here to take charge of the jade stone business, he didn't care about the store's appearance or the price of gold. If his men were around, he could still come up with a crooked idea and sabotage the deal, then send someone to grab it back afterwards. But since he just arrived in Beijing, he had no one to rely on, so he couldn't pull off this trick. The more anxious he became, the more he flaunted his wealth.

  If Zhang Yang could use the money from selling gold to gamble on stones, he would be fine. Now what he wants to do most is to achieve a good result as soon as possible and let Old Master Xiao see that he still has ability, he doesn't want to stay in this place for his whole life.

  Zhang Yang sneered to himself, it's really a pillow coming with the sleep, he was worried about how to open his mouth, and Duan Fei took the initiative to come to the door. However, he couldn't just agree with Duan Fei like that, it would be too easy, and even if he succeeded in gambling on the stone, he couldn't bring harm to Duan Fei, but instead helped him make a deal.

  Duan Fei, how did he end up here? He has nothing to do with this place, but he's certain that it must be Xiao Fei's store. From any angle, he can't let Xiao Fei make a profit, and now that Duan Fei has fallen into his own hands, how could he possibly let him go?
