Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 110: The trapped beast attempts to fight back

Not long after, the old man and his lackeys came to Ma Qing and said, "This is Mr. Ma, right? I'm Zhao Dongyuan, the owner of Zhao's Jewelry Store. It seems that there is some misunderstanding between us. Why don't we go to the reception room to talk? It's really not decent to talk in public."

Ma Qing looked at this noble and dignified old man. His long period of wealthy life gave him a temperament that could not be despised. Unfortunately, this was of no use to Ma Qing.

Ma Qing joked, "Some people are used to speaking in their own little corner of the country and think that everyone has to listen to them. I would like to ask you, old man, if you say it is a misunderstanding, then it is a misunderstanding. Would you like to be pointed at and called a robber?"

"I think this is a good place. Let's all bear witness together. Black is black, white is white. Can't we all make it clear? I've given you enough face. In fact, we can also go to the police station to talk."

Ma Qing's sarcastic remarks made the old man stunned. Zhao Dongyuan had not been treated like this for many years. He became more and more angry at his son-in-law's ridiculous behavior. It seemed that he could not keep this kid. Anyway, his daughter was about to give birth. If it was a boy, he would get rid of this useless guy.

Zhao Dongyuan has been in the business world for many years, so he is not that thin-skinned. Hearing this, he said, "Mr. Ma is right. This is a misfortune for our family. Let's go inside and discuss a proposal that will satisfy Mr. Ma and give me some face."

"If you put it that way, it's not impossible. Okay, I want to see how you can satisfy me." Ma Qing did not comment. The key point was that Ma Qing himself did not want to continue the stalemate. In fact, he did not want to go to the police station or the court, but he could not let old man Zhao see this.

Ma Qing winked at his lawyer, Liang Haowen nodded, and the two of them walked together with everyone else in the jewelry store, preparing to go to the reception room to chat.

Ma Qing did not forget to call the police at this time, "Officer He, why don't we go in together so that you can be a witness."

"No, no, just chat it up. Since it's a misunderstanding, just resolve it. I won't get involved. Bye." He Le was straightforward. He turned around and left with the two men in military uniforms. Qian Kun went over to hold them back but failed, so he had to watch his backer leave.

"Ma, have you forgotten me? You Chinese people call people like you "destroying bridges after crossing a river." Elizabeth, who was standing by, said immediately when she saw them leaving, wanting to watch the fun.

"Are you so bored? Do you really want to go in and sit in?" Ma Qing thought, this characteristic of eating melons seems to be not only shared by Chinese people, but also by people all over the world, especially the foreigners who have not yet been educated by BIU BIU.

"I'm bored anyway, and there's nothing to do here."

"Okay then, let's go in together. I don't think Mr. Zhao will mind."

What could Zhao Dongyuan say at this time? He had to pretend to be magnanimous and invite everyone into the reception room.

The reception room seemed small with so many people coming in at once. In the end, Ma Qing, Elizabeth, Liang Haowen and Zhao Dongyuan all sat on the sofa, while the others stood. Qian Kun originally wanted to sit next to Zhao Dongyuan, but Zhao Dongyuan slapped him and made him stand next to him.

"Tell me, what's going on." Zhao Dongyuan said to his people.

Ma Qing thought, old man, you have acted out this, don’t you understand the details of what is going on? What kind of tricks are you trying to pull? First, the appraiser, old man Zhao, told Ma Qing that he wanted to sell the necklace, and then said that he led Qian Kun to the reception room and then left. He didn’t know what happened afterwards, so he cleared himself out first.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Dongyuan pointed at Qian Kun and said.

Qian Kun felt a little regretful at this time. He would not have thought of taking the necklace if he had known earlier. But what should he do in this situation now? Should he rescue it?

Qian Kun's mind raced as he said, "Today I was working in the office, and Lao Zhao came in and said someone wanted to sell something, and asked me to go and talk to the other party, Mr. Ma, about the business. So I went, and when I got to the reception room, I saw the ruby ​​necklace."

At this point, Qian Kun pointed at the appraiser, Old Zhao, and said, "I found that Old Zhao had made a mistake. The largest gem on the necklace was fake. I told Mr. Ma that because the most valuable gem was fake, I could only buy the necklace for 3000 yuan. After all, the gemstone base and the small gemstones around the necklace are real."

"But Mr. Ma didn't believe me and we started arguing. I took out a real ruby ​​of similar size from the safe in the office and asked Mr. Ma to compare it. Who would have thought that because the ruby ​​I took out was originally the main part of another necklace and was inlaid, Mr. Ma snatched it away and hung it directly on his own necklace."

"Of course I refused, and then this guy named Ma kicked me away..." Qian Kun seemed to be getting more and more fluent as he spoke.

Ma Qing didn't expect that Qian Kun actually had such a quick wit. What he said actually made sense. Damn, this guy's mind really can't be underestimated.

Ma Qing listened and clapped his hands. "Great, great! I didn't expect General Manager Qian to be able to come up with such a statement. I, Ma Qing, really admire him. But it's a pity that there is a loophole."

Ma Qing pointed at the appraiser, Old Man Zhao, and said, "Before I showed it to you, this appraiser carefully appraised my necklace. He knew clearly whether this gemstone was part of my original necklace."

Qian Kun curled his lips and said, "This Lao Zhao is from our Zhao family. Can he testify for you? Besides, I just said that Lao Zhao actually identified the fake as real. He is simply too old to see clearly. Besides, who knows if you and Lao Zhao colluded to cheat me."

When the appraiser, Old Man Zhao, heard this, he became anxious and was about to speak to explain himself, but was stopped by Zhao Dongyuan who called him "Old Zhao".

When Ma Qing saw this, he knew that Zhao Dongyuan was not a good person either. He wanted to muddy the waters and make the matter go away.

Qian Kun was very proud at this time, and said to Ma Qing: "If you fight with me, how can I be afraid of you? I want to see whether everyone believes what you, a northerner, say, or what I, the son-in-law of the Zhao family, say." It looked like Qian Kun had everything under control.

Zhao Dongyuan was quite surprised at this time. He didn't expect that his son-in-law could figure out the connection of the matter in such a short time. This kid is quite quick-witted. It seems that he had underestimated him. It is not impossible to train him in the future.

Ma Qing didn't bother to pay attention to Qian Kun's smug look, and turned to Zhao Dongyuan and asked, "Old sir, what do you think?"
