"Hey! I asked, you brat, why don't you want to go to work anymore? What you do now is just cleaning! When you have time, don't we dig a few graves?"
"Isn't it sweet to dig something out and make money?"
"I still can't figure out what you are doing! If I hadn't understood you as a person, I would really suspect that you were possessed by those dirty things!"
Fatty Wang asked while eating.
"Don't worry about it, I naturally have my reasons for doing this job, and I won't hurt you anyway!" Angkor reassured him.
"Of course you won't hurt me, we have a friendship bound by life and death!" Fatty Wang smiled, patting Angkor's shoulder with his greasy hand.
Angkor's face contorted in disgust: "Don't touch me with your greasy paws!"
"Aah! What's wrong with touching you, you won't lose a piece of meat if I do!"
The two continued their dinner.
"By the way, Fatty, let me tell you something!"
"What's the matter, tell me!"
"Tomorrow, I will bring the boss of my company here, and then you take out the good stuff from our stash!"
"Haha, have you found a client? Angkor, you can really hustle when you're young!"
Fatty Wang said brightly, "I heard you work at Lin's Investment Company. The current leader of the Lin Group is supposed to be some prodigal son. Others are just stupid rich folks. I don't think he'll be too difficult to swindle!"
Angkor remembered everything that happened in his previous life and was shocked. He hurriedly warned: "Don't try to use any fake stuff to fool him, this guy is very smart. You need to bring out the real antiques!"
"Okay, then I'll take out the real things, and I'll sell them at a high price!"
"Don't sell at a high price, sell at a discount, and pretend you don't know the value of those things!"
"Angkor, are you crazy?" Fatty Wang jumped up and looked at Angkor in shock. "You're asking me to bring out the real antiques, and then sell them at a loss? What normal person would do that? Are you sick?"
Angkor smiled bitterly to himself. He knew the fat man would scold him, but he had to do this.
More than 99.99% of the old objects and antiques sold on this antique street were fakes, meant to deceive customers. If you could find a genuine valuable piece walking this street for a day, you'd be extremely lucky.
He was bringing Lin Beifan here to showcase his talent and expertise, and thereby gain more trust. Only by letting him buy some real treasures first, and feel he got a good deal, could Angkor's own value be highlighted.
Otherwise, if they just shopped around without finding anything authentic, or ended up with fakes, he couldn't demonstrate his skills at all, avoiding that scenario was crucial.
So after considering it, he decided to sacrifice a little of his own interests.
Angkor said seriously: "I'm not sick, I'm very awake now. This matter is extremely important to me! Fatty, please help me with this! After this is done, I'll dig up a few more tombs and earn back what I've lost, okay?"
Fatty Wang sat back down and waved his hand dismissively: "Okay! Who told you to be my best friend? How could I not help you? But let me be clear, I won't sell any of the big valuable items!"
"It's enough to take out those smaller objects!" Angkor nodded in agreement.
For him, taking out those smaller items would only cost a few million at most, which he could fully afford. If spending three million could bring him one step closer to Lin Beifan, it was definitely worth the money.
"Besides, you have to pretend that you don't know me, understand?"
"Hey, Angkor!" Fatty Wang frowned. "What on earth are you trying to do?"
"Don't worry about it, just do as I say! I won't hurt you, I promise!" Angkor said silently to himself: Fatty, let me bear this burden alone, you can just be a happy fat man!
The next day, Angkor met Lin Beifan, casually dressed, at the gate of the antique street. But he was not alone - a stunning beauty accompanied him.
From a distance, they looked like the perfect golden couple.
"Mr. Lin, you came so early!"
"Brother Wu, you are also very punctual and looking good!"
"Let me introduce someone to you!" Lin Beifan pulled Song Yuqing forward. "This is my girlfriend Song Yuqing, the president of Song's Hospital! She heard we were coming here and was very interested, so I brought her along!"
Angkor looked at the gorgeous Song Yuqing. In his previous life, she was engaged to a young genius doctor, but Lin Beifan had stolen her love away.
Among all of Lin Beifan's women, Song Yuqing was the least famous but also the most low-key...yet she silently helped manage everything behind the scenes, making her the most important woman to Lin.
"Ms. Song, hello! My name is Angkor, you can just call me Xiao Wu! To be honest, you look so beautiful, like a fairy, and you are a perfect match for Mr. Lin!" Angkor flattered her.
"Thank you! Your mouth is so sweet!" Song Yuqing laughed cheerfully.
"Mr. Lin, everyone is here, let's go in!"
"Wait, there's one more person!"
"Who is it?"
At this time, a familiar and grating voice came from a distance: "President Lin, Xiao Wu, I'm here!"
Angkor turned to look, only to see the bloated, misshapen Liu Ma dressed in garish colorful clothes, waddling over like an elephant.
"The person I'm talking about is Mama Liu!" Lin Beifan smiled.
Angkor's spirit sank: "Mr. Lin, why did you call Mama Liu here?"
"My girlfriend and I came to wander around, and it's not good for you to be the third wheel! So I thought I'd call Liu Ma to keep you company as a pair! Isn't it a thoughtful surprise?" Lin Beifan smiled brightly.
Angkor: ...
This is not a surprise!
It's a nightmare!
"Don't thank me, our company is all full of kind-hearted Lei Fengs!"
Angkor: I want to thank you all!
By this time, Liu Ma had already waddled over.
"Mr. Lin is so kind! Ms. Song is so beautiful! And Xiao Wu...you look dashing too!" Liu Ma said shyly. "It's been 18 hours since I last saw you, did you miss me? Hee hee..."
Angkor: "Ugh..."
"I was thinking about you all the time! Let's just live together in the future, my son says he doesn't mind!"
Angkor: *vomits* 🤮
"Say something! If you don't, I'll punch you with my fists!"
Angkor: "Ouch."
"Angkor, Liu Ma, this is not work nor at the company, so don't be so reserved! Let's all get along like friends naturally!" Lin Beifan waved his hand. "Now that everyone is here, let's go in!"
Having said that, Lin Beifan naturally took Song Yuqing's petite hand in his own.
As for Angkor...he was grabbed by Liu Ma's sweaty paw.
The two "couples" walked into the antique street together.
