Glancing at the paper bags in Bai Hanyun’s hand, Li Qin felt his hands itch and hurriedly said, "Let’s go to the private room so I can take a look at what kind of treasures you brought today."
"Alright."
Watching Li Qin excitedly lead Bai Hanyun upstairs, Fu Jiarong clicked her tongue and complained, "I have never seen him so diligent unless Elder Sister Bai is visiting."
Standing beside her, Li Hu shrugged helplessly. "Can’t be helped. Miss Bai only brings rare treasures whenever she visits."
Rolling her eyes, Fu Jiarong said, "Do whatever you want. I’m going to prepare so tea for Elder Sister Bai and Master Li."
Leaving those words behind, Fu Jiarong headed to the back kitchen to brew a pot of high-quality tea for her VIP custor.
Knowing it would take a long ti for his paternal grandfather to finish the appraisal, Li Hu called toward the kitchen, "Jiarong, help tell my Paternal Grandpa that I’m leaving first. Tell him to call when he’s done."
A second later, Fu Jiarong shouted back, "Got it!"
Hearing her response, Li Hu turned to Fu Rongchen and said, "Brother Rongchen, see you later."
"Mhm," Fu Rongchen replied without looking up from his book.
Seeing how absorbed he was, Li Hu didn’t disturb him any further and left the store.
anwhile, in the private room on the second floor, Li Qin rubbed his hands as he stared at the paper bags.
"Miss Bai, can you show this old man the treasure now?" he asked expectantly.
Bai Hanyun smiled lightly when she saw Li Qin’s impatient expression. Without wasting any ti, she took the rare fabrics out of the paper bags.
The mont Li Qin saw that the treasure she brought today was fabric, he hurriedly stopped Bai Hanyun. "Wait, wait, wait!"
Bai Hanyun paused just as she was about to place the Susha Danyi on the low table. Looking at Li Qin, she asked in confusion, "Master Li, what’s wrong?"
Seeing that Bai Hanyun didn’t realize her mistake, Li Qin could only slap his thigh and shake his head in disapproval.
"Aiya! Miss Bai, you are really careless. How could you casually place such rare and delicate fabrics on this table? Not to ntion using paper bags to carry them."
Without waiting for Bai Hanyun’s response, Li Qin stood up and went to the glass cabinet in the corner. Opening it, he took out a piece of soft cotton muslin and returned to his seat.
After sitting down, Li Qin spread the cotton muslin over the low table and said, "Miss Bai, you can take the fabrics out now."
"Oh, alright."
As Bai Hanyun placed the fabrics on the table, Li Qin opened the black suitcase he had brought with him and took out a pair of white gloves and his magnifying glass.
Gesturing toward the fabrics, Bai Hanyun said, "Master Li, these fabrics were purchased from an acquaintance of mine. From left to right, they are Fuguang Brocade, Jin Si, Susha Danyi, and Yun Jin."
While Bai Hanyun was still introducing the fabrics, Li Qin was already busy inspecting them.
Noticing that Li Qin didn’t seem to hear her, Bai Hanyun stopped talking and waited patiently for him to appraise their value.
Five minutes later, the door to the private room was opened from the outside.
Walking in, Fu Jiarong saw that Li Qin was busy appraising the fabrics and that there was no space on the table for the teacups, so she placed the tray on the side table instead.
"Elder Sister Bai, I placed the tea here. Please enjoy it while it’s still hot."
Smiling at her, Bai Hanyun nodded. "Thank you, Miss Fu."
Not wanting to disturb them, Fu Jiarong quietly left the room.
Half an hour later, Li Qin let out a long sigh of admiration. Putting down his magnifying glass, he looked at Bai Hanyun and asked, "Miss Bai, are you planning to sell these fabrics?"
Bai Hanyun gave him a helpless smile and nodded. "To be honest, I really am in need of money at the mont. If possible, I would like to sell these fabrics."
Seeing that Li Qin was deep in thought, Bai Hanyun added carefully, "Master Li, you look troubled. Are these fabrics difficult to sell?"
Li Qin shook his head and explained, "They can be sold, but doing so may cause you so trouble."
Seeing that she seed not to understand what he ant, Li Qin added, "These fabrics are very valuable where there is a market without supplies. I’m afraid that you might catch unwanted attention if you sell it to the public."
Bai Hanyun frowned slightly at his words and thought, ’Looks like it really isn’t possible to sell these fabrics through official channels. Maybe I should contact CEO Gui and see if he is interested in doing business with .’
While Bai Hanyun was planning a backup option, Li Qin continued, "If you truly want to sell them, I can try to contact soone who might be able to help you."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun ca out of her thoughts and smiled gratefully at Li Qin. "Then I will trouble Master Li with this matter."
Raising his hand, Li Qin smiled. "Miss Bai is too polite. It’s my honor to help you. Besides, you have already given this old man a chance to take a closer look at these legendary fabrics."
"This kind of experience is sothing that can’t be bought with money. Helping you is just a small thing I can do to repay your kindness today."
Seeing his sincerity, Bai Hanyun didn’t say anything more.
After that, Li Qin took out his phone and made a call. A few seconds later, the call connected, and a male voice ca through the speaker.
"Hello, Master Li. It’s rare for you to call at this ti."
Li Qin smiled and asked, "Director Mu, do you rember the young lady I told you about before?"
Hearing this, Mu Jiu’s eyes flickered as he asked, "Did that young lady bring out sothing phenonal again?"
Li Qin chuckled. "That’s right. Wait a mont—I will send you so photos."
After saying that, Li Qin took several photos of the fabrics and sent them to Mu Jiu on WeChat.
