PDLP Chapter 66 Oh dear, it's you!
Chapter 66 Oh dear, it's you!
Zhang Dong noticed this and knew his chance had come, so he quickly struck up a conversation.
"Beautiful lady, take a look. It's free to look, and I can guarantee that everything I sell here is of pure quality jade."
"Pure?" Zhao Lingling curled her lip.
She knew perfectly well that these roadside vendors never told the truth.
It can be said that lies are flying everywhere.
But because he has a particular fondness for collecting jade, he still came over to take a look.
But after just one glance, Zhao Lingling was so captivated that she couldn't move her legs and opened her mouth in surprise.
"Are these little trinkets of yours, like comb pendants, really only 1 yuan each?"
She had already realized that the vendor was right.
His jade products are indeed of good quality.
Seeing this, Zhang Dong suppressed his excitement and nodded.
He could tell that this bank manager's daughter was an expert in jade and had already realized that the product he had brought was of excellent quality.
"Madam, you're right, it really is 1 yuan per piece."
"Actually, our mine was forced to do this because we had no other choice but to engage in such a low-price promotion."
"The jade produced in our mine has an extremely high jade content and is definitely worth more than its price."
"Yes, your jade products do look to be of good quality."
As she said this, Zhao Lingling bought more than a dozen items in one go.
Holding these jade products, she didn't go out anymore, but hurriedly returned home.
At home, I saw my daughter had returned so quickly.
Zhao Guangnian, who was drinking tea, was taken aback.
"Lingling, didn't you take the child out? Why are you back so soon?"
"Dad, look! Did I get a bargain? Such a nice jade product, only 1 yuan a piece."
"What, 1 yuan a piece? Where did you buy it?" Zhao Guangnian frowned.
"Oh, I bought it from a roadside stall outside our community gate."
"What? What good stuff could you possibly find at a roadside stall? And it's only 1 yuan a piece? It's probably just some special glassware."
As he said this, Zhao Guangnian casually picked up a jade pendant, and after taking a look, he couldn't help but widen his eyes immediately.
"Wait a minute, did you really buy this from a roadside stall?"
Seeing her father's reaction, Zhao Lingling was full of doubt.
"Dad, what's going on? Are you saying I might have been scammed?"
“I did buy them for 1 yuan each, but they don’t seem to be the kind of specially made glass products you mentioned.”
Zhao Guangnian's breathing quickened, his eyes gleaming: "Daughter, these are all small ornaments made of fine jade, how could they be so cheap?"
"What? Dad, you mean this is made of fine jade?"
Zhao Lingling was a little unsure about what to buy, so after purchasing these dozen or so jade items, she returned home to ask her father for his opinion.
Her father had just mentioned that these were all specially made glass products, which made her a little disappointed.
Looking at her father's expression now, she realized that wasn't the case. She could see that her father was breathing rapidly, and his face was flushed with excitement...
Zhao Guangnian nodded solemnly: "That's right, daughter, I won't misjudge you."
“These are all exquisite jade ornaments. The seller is offering them for such a low price. Oh my, daughter, you’ve found a real bargain!”
“You should buy all of these products he has.”
Hearing her father say that, Zhao Ling felt very regretful.
"Dad, I wasn't entirely sure just now, but I felt that the quality of this jade was pretty good, so I bought more than a dozen pieces."
"However, I saw that he still had quite a lot of goods. If I had known this would happen, I would have bought them all."
At this moment, Zhao Guangnian's expression was solemn, as if he had suddenly realized something.
"I understand now, no wonder they sold it for such a low price."
"These jade products must have been stolen, and the perpetrators wanted to sell them off as quickly as possible."
"After all, if it were sold at the original price, no one would buy it. The thief was in a hurry to sell it, so he sold it at a low price."
"What, Dad? You think the person who sold me these jade items was a thief?"
Zhao Guangnian said with certainty, "That's right, otherwise, how could it be so cheap?"
As he said this, he suddenly stood up.
"Let's go take a look and question that vendor. If he really is a thief, we'll take him to the police station..."
"Oh dear, Dad, this won't do."
"If the other party really is a thief, we should hand him over to the judicial authorities. Wouldn't that make him desperate and retaliate? Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. This guy might turn against us."
Hearing his daughter's concern, Zhao Guangnian smiled.
"Daughter, are you silly? Can't we just report it to the police secretly? Why do we have to arrest him ourselves?"
These words were like a wake-up call, and Zhao Lingling nodded eagerly.
"Hmm, hmm, Dad, you're really resourceful. I thought you were going to just take action and catch the thief."
"In that case, I'll lead you there."
Zhao Lingling led her father, Zhao Guangnian, straight outside the residential area...
Meanwhile, Zhang Dong, who lives outside the residential area, has not left at all.
What a joke! He sold it to Director Zhao's daughter. So many jade items; he's still waiting for the follow-up.
If President Zhao were home, he would definitely recognize the high quality of these jade items and might even come looking for them.
At this time, Zhang Dong had already packed up his stall and was dozing off next to a big tree, leaning against it.
Zhao Lingling, who had rushed out, looked around and immediately spotted Zhang Dong not far away.
"Dad, do you see that? That vendor is dozing off over there."
Zhao Guangnian nodded and strode towards Zhangdong.
Hearing footsteps, Zhang Dong opened his eyes and saw Director Zhao and his daughter, who had just bought his jade, walking towards him. He was incredibly excited.
Zhang Dong thought to himself, "It seems that my roundabout strategy this time has worked quite well."
In this way, Director Zhao will no longer think he is a liar.
However, seeing the other party approaching, Zhang Dong remained standing against the large tree.
Zhang Dong used a sun hat to cover his face.
As a result, Zhao Guangnian, who came closer, did not recognize Zhang Dong at first glance.
"Hey, was it you who bought those jade items from my daughter just now?"
Upon hearing the greeting, Zhang Dong took off his sun hat.
When Bank Manager Zhao saw that the person selling jade products was Zhang Dong, he was greatly surprised.
"Oh my, it's you!"
Zhang Dong also feigned surprise: "Of course, Director Zhao, it's you!"
Zhao Guangnian was genuinely surprised just now.
Zhang Dong's surprise at this moment was feigned.
