"Alright, girl, do you want cash or a bank transfer later?"
"Cash."
After speaking, Jiang Xue noticed the other piece in the box hadn’t been opened yet, so she said, "Mr. Chen, I have another piece, which says ’Detachnt is Strength,’ do you want to take a look?"
"Another piece, why didn’t you ntion it earlier, girl?" said Elder Xiao, who had quite liked the ’Tranquility Yields Transcendence’ piece but was beaten to it by Mr. Chen.
Now, hearing that Jiang Xue had another piece, he was imdiately thrilled and couldn’t wait to see it.
"Sorry, Elder Xiao, my fault, I forgot to ntion it." Jiang Xue apologized to Elder Xiao and then brought over the box from earlier, turning it to the other side.
"I couldn’t tell your box was double-sided," Mr. Chen said, sowhat surprised, as he hadn’t noticed before that the box was actually double-sided.
Jiang Xue smiled, opened the box, and took out the other piece of calligraphy. The sa paper and ink, infused with spiritual energy, the only difference being the artistic conception.
"Not bad!" praised Mr. Chen, while Elder Xiao imdiately said, "Girl, I’ll take this piece."
He was afraid if he spoke too late, this piece would also be grabbed by Mr. Chen.
"Old Xiao, look at you rushing," Mr. Chen chuckled at his friend. Even if Elder Xiao hadn’t spoken, he wouldn’t have taken the piece. After all, he already had one, so the other should surely go to his friend.
"Hmph, can I not hurry? If I don’t, this piece might get taken by you again."
"Don’t worry, I already have one piece; I won’t take yours." Mr. Chen smiled, then asked Jiang Xue, "Girl, if you have more pieces like this in the future, bring them all to us; we’ll take as many as you have."
"Really?" Jiang Xue looked delighted. If Mr. Chen could take all her work, that would be wonderful.
This way, she could save ti and earn money.
"Of course, it’s true," Mr. Chen laughed and said.
"Thank you so much. If Mr. Chen needs any specific pieces in the future, you can place an order." Since Mr. Chen was so straightforward, Jiang Xue naturally couldn’t fall behind.
"Is that so? Alright, leave a phone number." Mr. Chen asked for Jiang Xue’s number. Jiang Xue hesitated briefly and gave him the number of the small store.
Mr. Chen also wrote down his number for Jiang Xue, then asked Jiang Xue to go with him to his house to collect the money.
Next to them, Elder Xiao also noted Jiang Xue’s number for future contact.
After exchanging numbers, Elder Xiao put the calligraphy away and went inside to fetch the money. Earlier, Jiang Xue and Mr. Chen had agreed on cash, so Elder Xiao handed the cash directly.
Elder Xiao handed the money to Jiang Xue, noticed she had nothing to put it in, and specifically found a black bag for her.
Seeing that Elder Xiao had given the money, Mr. Chen naturally had to do the sa. So he said to Jiang Xue, "Girl, co on, follow ho to collect the money."
"Alright!" Jiang Xue replied with a smile, then followed Mr. Chen out of Xiao’s house. Xiao’s house was not far from Chen’s; it was just around the corner.
Mr. Chen courteously brought Jiang Xue ho and then handed her the money. He also advised her, saying, "Girl, with so much money on you, it’s not safe. You should go to the bank to open an account and deposit the money; it would be more convenient."
"Got it, thank you, Mr. Chen." Jiang Xue felt a bit emotional, so after thanking Mr. Chen, she left.
As she was leaving, Mr. Chen specifically told Jiang Xue that if she ever ca to the county, she could co find him directly. Jiang Xue agreed with a smile.
