Huo Sining had long suspected there was something off about this man, but adhering to the principle of customer first, she didn't directly expose him. Instead, she calmly negotiated with the man. Now hearing him ask for her to write a guarantee, Huo Sining was momentarily speechless.
She had been running the shop for quite some time, mingling in the antique circles for over a year, and had never heard of an antique purchase requiring a guarantee from the shop owner. It was utterly ridiculous.
"Sir, I'm a bit unclear about what kind of guarantee you're referring to," Huo Sining said with a smile, casually picking up the teacup from the table and taking a sip.
"It's like this, boss. I've paid a deposit for this painting. When I come in a few days with an appraiser, I want you to write a guarantee. If the painting is genuine, I'll pay the rest and take the painting. If it's a fake, I won't take the painting, you'll refund me, and I only ask for double my deposit in compensation."
