The man who pawned the wrapped branch peony vase to Mr. Wu was named Yang Lin, he spoke a stream of grateful words to Mr. Wu, then stated the purpose of his visit today, which was to redeem the wrapped branch peony vase that he had pawned to Mr. Wu.

  Mr. Wu was very surprised to see Yang Lin, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly coming to his door. After listening to Yang Lin's intention today, his face turned green and he remained silent for a long time without speaking.

  But Yang Lin seemed to have not seen the expression on Mr. Wu's face, and said self-righteously: "This time, thanks to Mr. Wu, borrowing money is a matter of borrowing and returning, it's not difficult to borrow again. Here is a check for 500,000 yuan, please accept it, Mr. Wu."

  Mr. Wu glanced at the check on the table and remained silent.

  "That wrapped branch peony vase was fancied by a friend, who was willing to pay 6 million to take it away. At first, I didn't want to agree, after all, I also liked that wrapped branch peony vase very much. But that friend really liked it too much, and I was pestered into agreeing. The person even feared that I would regret it, and paid the deposit, urging me to hand over the wrapped branch peony vase, truly making me helpless." Yang Lin sighed and said with a sense of helplessness.

  "Are you taking the wrapped peony vase back today?" Mr. Wu asked hesitantly.

  Yang Lin nodded: "Of course, the check is already prepared. The friend who wants to collect my wrapped peony vase also gave a deposit, and I shouldn't keep dragging it out without giving it."

  "Uh..." Mr. Wu hesitated.

  Yang Lin's brow furrowed: "What's wrong? Has something happened to my wrapped stem peony vase?"

  "No, nothing..." Mr. Wu shook his head in denial, but somehow his expression seemed unnatural no matter how you looked at it.

  "Since there's no problem, let's not drag it out. I've already made an appointment with that friend, so please trouble Mr. Wu to collect the check and bring out my wrapped peony vase." Yang Lin's face relaxed again, and he put on a smile once more.

  "I also quite like that wrapped stem peony vase, I wonder if... " Mr. Wu bit his teeth and looked at Yang Lin.

  "This... I'm afraid it's not possible, I've already promised someone else and also received the deposit. If I back out now, I'll have to pay three times the compensation." Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu with great difficulty.

  Mr. Wu's face showed a very disappointed expression after listening.

  "Mr. Wu, don't be like this. I... " Yang Lin looked at the disappointed Mr. Wu, thought for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind. He said to Mr. Wu: "How about this? After all, it was Mr. Wu who helped me get through the difficult time. If Mr. Wu really likes that wrapped branch peony bottle, I'll give it to you. However, there's also the matter of the forfeit for breaking the engagement..."

  Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu. The meaning was very clear.

  He can let Mr. Wu have the wrapped stem peony vase, but Mr. Wu will be responsible for compensating three times the deposit for breaching the contract, so it's up to Mr. Wu now.

  Mr. Wu hesitated for a moment and looked at Yang Lin, asking: "How much deposit did the other party pay you?"

  "30,000." Yang Lin stretched out three fingers. Then he continued: "Triple that is 90,000."

  "900,000 yuan!" Mr. Wu furrowed his brow.

  Yang Lin sighed and said, "I think it's better this way. I previously borrowed 500,000 yuan from Mr. Wu. My friend offered 600,000 yuan to buy my wrapped peony vase, but if Mr. Wu really likes it, I won't raise the price. The wrapped peony vase will be sold to Mr. Wu for 500,000 yuan."

  It seems that Mr. Wu still owes 100,000 yuan. After all, someone offered 6 million to buy the wrapped branch peony bottle. Moreover, the lowest estimated value of this "authentic" wrapped branch peony bottle is also between 5 and 6 million. If Mr. Wu bought it for 5.9 million, he wouldn't be losing money, and he might even make a profit by reselling it.

  "Uh..." Mr. Wu seemed somewhat shaken.

  Yang Lin's eyes rolled, and he continued: "To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. Wu, I wouldn't have done something so regrettable. Later on, I'll still have to apologize to that friend. But there's no other way around it - after all, Mr. Wu helped me out. If I didn't agree, it would be somewhat ungrateful."

  Mr. Wu nodded heavily and let out a sigh.

  Yang Lin was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to retrieve his check, but before he could touch it, Mr. Wu snatched it away from him.

  Mr. Wu quickly picked up the check and said to Yang Lin, "I like that wrapped branch peony vase, but I can't let you do something like that, it's not good for your reputation, I think you'd better give the wrapped branch peony vase to your friend."

  "Mr. Wu..." Yang Lin stared blankly at Mr. Wu, somewhat unable to react.

  Mr. Wu ignored Yang Lin's stunned expression, went straight into the inner room, and had someone bring out the wrapped peony vase, gently placing it in front of Yang Lin.

  Yang Lin's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said incredulously: "This wrapped stem peony bottle..."

  "This is your Peony Vase, I have kept it well, absolutely no loss." Mr. Wu smiled at Yang Lin.

  Yang Lin's face turned black, he stared tightly at Mr. Wu, while Mr. Wu changed his previous hesitant and uneasy look, looking very relaxed at Yang Lin.

  Yang Lin was shocked in his heart and immediately realized he had fallen into a trap!

  "Mr. Wu, you..." Yang Lin looked at Mr. Wu with a gloomy face.

  "What's the matter?" Mr. Wu looked at Yang Lin with a pretentious expression of not understanding, then seemed to think of something and said: "Right, you went out of town for some time, there's something you might not know, I recently acquired another coiled branch peony bottle, which looks similar to yours. I even held a gathering to let everyone appreciate it, but who knew someone recognized it as a fake? It made me so angry that I smashed it on the spot. Alas, my eyes need to be sharper in the future, can't just blindly trust others, or else..."

  Yang Lin put on a stern face and said nothing, finally leaving Mr. Wu's house with his own wrapped peony vase in a sorry state.

  Mr. Wu watched Yang Lin's back as he walked away, letting out a disdainful cold snort, but this time he had successfully retrieved his money, and he was still very happy about it. He immediately called Qin Sheng to explain the situation, and then invited Qin Sheng and Gu Mei to dinner to thank them properly.

  Gu Mei received this message while shopping with Han Lu. In a few days, it would be Bai Fangfang's birthday, and she wanted to buy her a suitable gift.

  Han Lu heard Gu Mian say that Yang Lin actually just took the fake wrapped peony bottle and left, she was very dissatisfied: "Why didn't you let the police catch him? This is fraud, fraud!"

  "How can you accuse him of cheating? This kind of person is obviously a habitual offender, he didn't explicitly say that the wrapped peony vase was genuine, but rather through certain actions induced Mr. Wu to think it was real. And then voluntarily lent him money. Now he's back with the money to redeem the vase, if you go and accuse him, he can also argue that he was cheated by someone else and didn't know the wrapped peony vase was fake at all. What kind of cheating is this?" Gu Yin said with a shrug.

  "That's really letting him off easy!" Han Lu said with a hint of anger.

  "Mr. Wu is most concerned about not pursuing responsibility, but whether he can get his money back. But don't worry, Mr. Wu has suffered such a big loss and it's not going to be settled like this. This matter cannot be directly reported to the police, but something can be done." Gu Mei walked up to a counter and pointed at a silk scarf, asking: "What do you think if I give this silk scarf to Bai Fangfang?"

  "It's okay." Han Lu shook her head and temporarily put aside the matter of the tangled peony bottle.

  Since Gu Mian has said so, and thinking of Mr. Wu's temperament, she believes that the person named Yang Lin will not be caught, but he will definitely not have a good time either.

  In fact, as Gu Mian said, Mr. Wu suffered such a great loss and had no way to give Yang Lin a lesson from the positive side, but it did not prevent him from telling others about the beginning and end of this matter.

  It wasn't long before everyone knew about the incident where Mr. Wu smashed the wrapped branch peony vase, he didn't mention anyone's name, but still many people found out that person was Yang Lin, and they all distanced themselves from Yang Lin, no one dared to have any dealings with Yang Lin in this regard again.

  Gradually, Yang Lin faded out of this circle, and soon everyone forgot about him, as if he had never appeared before.

  Although Mr. Wu did not explicitly say that the person who helped him identify it was Gu Mei, everyone's hearts are transparent, and Gu Mei's name has unexpectedly been remembered by more people in their hearts. Many people secretly inquired about Gu Mei's affairs, thinking that they would go to find Gu Mei when looking at things in the future.

  After Mr. Wu's matter was settled, Professor Wang finally returned after being away on a business trip for quite some time.

  Professor Wang was originally just going to explain the Jinlv Yuyi matter and would be back in a few days, but during his business trip, he encountered other things, so he extended his business trip time and missed the day when the new director took office.

  New official takes office, three fires, this new director really implemented this point, just came for a few days and conducted a major rectification within the company, many people were taken away to be trained, even Gu Xiang, this newcomer, did not escape.

  Fortunately, she has been performing well in her daily work and is not the new director's focus of attention. It would be more accurate to say that it was a warning rather than a reprimand.

  The most miserable ones are those who like to curry favor and make small moves. Some people quietly sent gifts as soon as the new director took office, but ended up flattering the wrong person and were publicly criticized.

  Wang Juan was one of those who were supposed to be taken care of, but for some reason the new director seemed to have a particular dislike for her and didn't arrange any work for her, leaving Wang Juan's heart in a state of anxiety.

  Now that Professor Wang has finally returned, she asked Chen Peng to hurry up and speak for her, to see if she could follow in Professor Wang's footsteps.

  Update 2 is here~~~~~ Thanks to Manlyan for the gratitude candies, I'm so happy~~~ The cat continues to beg for more candies and gifts with a thick face (*^__^*) Hehe~~~~~ Today, the cat went for a back massage, but instead of feeling comfortable, it was painful..........
