Being in the modeling industry, my information is updated daily.

Chapter 96 Even kids are so realistic; they're only missing one intelligence item to complete the set!

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The scorching sun softened the asphalt road.

After getting out of the car, Lin Qingsong listened to the cicadas chirping in his ears and looked up at the shops in front of him that were becoming increasingly familiar.

Before he even entered the door, he heard Gu Wen's voice.

"Old Lin, you timed this perfectly. I just finished washing the grapes and you arrived."

Gu Wen, dressed in a cheongsam today, crossed one leg and smiled as she picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth.

"Haha, timing is everything." Looking at the grapes displayed on the counter, Lin Qingsong didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out, picked one up, and popped it into his mouth. After biting into it and feeling the sweet juice explode on his tongue, he nodded in satisfaction. "These Kyoho grapes are great."

“I have some more if you like, you can take some with you later.” Gu Wen said with a smile, “These are from the vineyard of one of my clients. He gave me quite a lot, I can’t eat them all by myself.”

"Sure." Lin Qingsong agreed with a smile, then plopped down in the chair without immediately taking out his Gucci sunglasses and jade thumb ring.

Instead, he smiled and said to Gu Wen, "I went to Sanya a while ago and brought you some local specialties."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and a seashell product from his bag.

“I can understand that the seashell is a local specialty,” Gu Wen couldn’t help but point at the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and say with a laugh, “But how can cosmetics be considered a local specialty? Are you treating the duty-free shop like a specialty store?”

"Haha, isn't this tax-free?"

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. The weather's been really dry lately, so it's good to apply more water." Gu Wen didn't stand on ceremony either. After accepting the items, she asked curiously, "Can I take a look at your jade thumb ring? I'm quite curious, even though I don't want it."

She usually only collects Western luxury antiques, such as the flat wine pot that Lin Qingsong had before.

However, there are too many types of antiques in China, and she simply does not have the ability to appraise them all.

When Lin Qingsong asked her about this, she directly stated that she did not accept it.

But even if we don't accept it, it's good to see it for ourselves.

"Okay, take a look." Lin Qingsong wasn't stingy and took out the jade thumb ring, placing it in Gu Wen's hand.

After carefully examining the jade thumb ring for a while, Gu Wen sighed and said:
"This jade is indeed excellent, with good translucency and fine carving. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in this field and dare not offer my own assessment. Old Lin, you should find someone who specializes in this. If you can't find one, I can help introduce you to a few people."

Although she doesn't deal in antiques, she does have friends who are involved in the field.

"It's alright, I'll just go find Brother Qi when the time comes," Lin Qingsong said with a smile.

Qi Nan's family business is indeed quite large. His antique-style painting was sold within a few days, and the payment had already been transferred to him.

"Your boss? She does this too?" Yang Xiaoxiao had mentioned Qi Nan before, so Gu Wen knew that Brother Qi was Qi Nan and also their boss.

“If she doesn’t do it, her family will do this kind of business on the side.” Lin Qingsong said, taking out the Gucci sunglasses he had found that morning: “Come on, Gu Gu, this is your main job.”

“That’s easy.” Gu Wen looked at the main body of the Gucci sunglasses and then at the accompanying warranty card, and said directly, “This year’s early spring model, brand new with warranty card, I’ll pay six thousand.”

"You won't lose money, will you?" Lin Qingsong didn't expect Gu Wen's price to be a thousand yuan higher than the system's estimate.

"Of course not," Gu Wen said with a smile. "I'm only making a small profit at this price. Do you think it's too high?"

"As long as we don't lose money, that's fine." Lin Qingsong didn't delve into it further. Snakes have their own paths and rats have their own ways. Since Gu Wen could offer this price, it meant she was confident she could sell it for a higher price.

After chatting for a while, he finally left the store carrying several bunches of grapes that Gu Wen had given him.

After checking the time and finding it was still early, Lin Qingsong decided to go to the reed marshes in Qiantan Park.

That gold tooth from the Republican era can't just be left there forever.

If it's easy to get, I'll take advantage of the free time today and get rid of it all at once.

When we arrived at Qiantan Park, we saw the railings that had been built around the river.

Lin Qingsong couldn't help but feel a little helpless. If Jin Ya were under these railings, he probably wouldn't be able to get it today.

Following the highlighted location indicated by the system, Lin Qingsong walked into the park.

After about five or six minutes, he was surprised to find that there was no guardrail on a section of the road ahead. The roadside was also covered with green reeds.

Could it be that the gold tooth is here?
Lin Qingsong couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. If there hadn't been a railing, the gold tooth would have been much easier to get.

After walking a few more steps, he discovered that the system notification highlighted the location just ahead.

Looking down at the murky river water and the gold tooth hidden in the silt, Lin Qingsong was just about to put his hand in when he saw a little boy come up beside him.

"Little friend, could you lend me your little shovel for a moment? My things fell into the water."

Seeing the fishing net and shovel in the child's hand, Lin Qingsong immediately activated his most powerful social skills.

Unfortunately, the child ignored him completely and said to him in a very domineering manner, "I don't want to!"

After saying that, the child prepared to leave.

"Lend me your little shovel, and I'll give you some grapes."

Seeing the grapes in Lin Qingsong's hand, the little boy immediately put on a fawning look: "Big brother, I'll give you the shovel, will you really give me some grapes?" "Here you go!"

"Big brother, feel free to use these. Do you need any help?" The little boy grinned and placed all the tools in his hands next to Lin Qingsong, then stared longingly at the grapes in his hand.

"Sigh, even kids are so materialistic these days!" Lin Qingsong sighed, glancing at the little boy next to him carrying a bunch of grapes, while holding a small toy shovel in his hand.

However, with the tools, he was able to retrieve the gold tooth quickly.

After washing it in water, Lin Qingsong felt a strange sense of comfort looking at the gold piece shaped like a tooth.

Of the items mentioned in the intelligence report, I have now obtained all of them except for the gold bars hidden in the second pillar on the third floor of the old house at No. 6 Wutong Road in the HP district.

After returning the shovel to the child beside him, Lin Qingsong walked back with light steps.

Based on its weight, this gold tooth could probably sell for around five or six thousand.

It's a pity it wasn't a denture from a famous person during the Republic of China era, otherwise it could have been worth adding a zero to the end.

Lin Qingsong returned home around 6 p.m.

"Brother Lin, I'll finish cooking one more dish." He Xue peeked out from the kitchen after hearing the noise outside, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then continued cooking.

When she came back this afternoon and saw that there were quite a few things in the house, she knew that Lin Qingsong must have returned.

She messaged Lin Qingsong to ask if he would be home for dinner that evening, and learned that he would be back. She immediately bought a lot of groceries and cooked for him.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first." After putting his things in the room, Lin Qingsong took his change of clothes and went to wash up.

I had a busy day today, and the weather was very hot; my body was already soaked with sweat.

When he came out of the bathroom, drying his hair, He Xue had already prepared all the dishes and placed them on the table.

Lin Qingsong smiled at He Xue, who was still busy in the kitchen, and said, "Xiao Xue, I brought you a gift from Sanya."

There's absolutely no way we could show favoritism or bias.

As a master of impartiality, Lin Qingsong bought many sets of the same items.

But different people react differently when they receive these things.

He Xue, who usually only uses a toner that costs a couple hundred yuan at most, couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the SK-II bottle: "Isn't this the Facial Treatment Essence? Brother Lin, this must be so expensive!"

"It's alright, since it's tax-free, it's definitely cheaper than buying in Shanghai." After taking a bite of rice, Lin Qingsong smiled and said to He Xue, "Xiao Xue, you should eat too, or it'll get cold."

"Brother Lin, this gift is too precious, I can't accept it." Although she also liked SK-II, she knew how expensive it was.

"It's alright, didn't I tell you? These are duty-free items, very cheap." Lin Qingsong said, feigning displeasure, "Don't you consider me a friend?"

"No, no, no!" He Xue shook her head repeatedly, and after stammering for a long time, she could only manage to squeeze out, "But this is too expensive."

"Yeah, it's too expensive. If you don't use it, I can't return it, and that would be a waste. So, Xiaoxue, you should accept it." Lin Qingsong said casually.

He doesn't like using this thing anyway.

It always smells a bit like stinky saliva.

If it can't be delivered, then it's really a waste.

After finishing his meal, Lin Qingsong, seeing that it was almost time, took out a gift and several photocopies of ancient books from the house.

After sending a message to Shen Xingyu and learning that she had arrived home, Lin Qingsong set off.

The old lady was indeed a book lover.

Their eyes lit up when they saw the photocopies of the ancient books that Lin Qingsong brought.

"Xiao Lin, where did you get these books? I see some of them are unique copies," Shen Xingyu's grandmother asked, flipping through a few pages.

Even if these books are not original editions, their cultural value is still significant.

“I know a friend in Sanya who likes to collect these things,” Lin Qingsong explained casually, then added, “If you’re interested, he also has some ancient books, and I can bring some over later.”

"Good, good, good, Xiaolin, you've put your heart into it!" Shen Xingyu's grandmother looked at the books, her eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.

When he left, Lin Qingsong was carrying just as many things as he had before he arrived.

"Hey Sister Yu, why didn't you stop her? Your grandma's been giving you caviar and bird's nest. I'm not bringing you anything, I'm just here to freeload!"

Lin Qingsong looked at the pile of things that Shen Xingyu's grandmother had given him and couldn't help but say something to Shen Xingyu.

"Here, take these. They were either given to you by my mom or by her students. Grandma can't possibly eat them all by herself."

"Alright, then I'll shamelessly take advantage of you."

After Lin Qingsong finished speaking, he heard Shen Xingyu ask a question casually.

"Old Lin, when are you free lately? Didn't we agree to go fishing together?"
