Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Chapter 238 Modern Extra 3

She walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about the only ten thousand yuan she had, and sighed helplessly. At this moment, she looked up and saw three huge words: Pawn Shop.

Ting He was surprised and exclaimed that there is always a way out. Although he knew that as an orphan, if he pawned some valuable antiques or took out some unpurified gold from the space, it would probably cause a huge sensation. But life without money was too difficult. It was different here from the ancient times. Payment was made by mobile phone. He really couldn't do anything invisible like robbing the rich and helping the poor. It was really a penny that could make a hero fall.

Thinking of this, she used her consciousness to find some jewelry that she had robbed in the world of the courtesan in the space. After choosing and selecting, she chose an inconspicuous pendant, put it directly around her neck, and then entered the pawn shop.

The scene of being looked down upon in the TV series did not appear. The clerk received her politely and courteously, and served her coffee and candy. When Tinghe took the pendant from her neck, the clerk took it with a slightly changed expression, and then sent another clerk to find the manager.

Ting He saw that the pendant was not replaced by the clerk, but was just used to call another person. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She thought she had encountered a shady shop and her pendant was going to be replaced.

When the sales manager arrived, he introduced himself to Ting He carefully, then put on white gloves, picked up all the tools, and carefully studied the pendant in the clerk's hand. After a while, the manager asked with a smile, "Excuse me, young lady, where did you get this pendant from?"

Ting He also showed a naive look and responded:

"This is something passed down from my ancestors. The first time I came to the city, all my money was stolen. I called the police but couldn't find the thief. My family member is still in the hospital. If I don't pay, he can't have surgery. I have no choice but to sell this heirloom to make money. I hope I can raise enough money for surgery as soon as possible to pay for my family member's medical treatment."

The business manager frowned slightly. He couldn't quite understand the lady's accent, but it didn't matter. So he asked:

"I wonder where the young lady's family is hospitalized? Can you tell me? Our Wei family has some connections in Bincheng. Maybe we can find a more suitable doctor for you."

Ting He frowned and complained in her heart, this man is so talkative. It's just selling something, not checking the household registration. Why is he so slow? However, she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Really? That's great, but I don't know how much I can get for this pendant. Can I get enough money for the surgery?"

The business manager held up five fingers and said, "This is indeed a cultural relic with a long history. Although it was passed down from your ancestors, I am not sure of its age, so I can only give you five hundred at most..."

Ting He got anxious when she heard this, frowned and retorted: "Only 500? You are a shady shop, right? I don't want to sell it to you anymore, give the pendant back to me."

As she said that, she grabbed the pendant and turned to leave, muttering, "This is a scam, you think I'm easy to bully, right? I paid you 500, why didn't you tell me it was made of plastic? Why don't you go to heaven..."

The business manager staggered after being pushed by Ting He, and immediately stopped her and explained:

"You misunderstood. I said five million, five million, not five hundred. Please don't leave. This is a genuine cultural relic. Our pawnshop is a regular national chain. We can't cheat you. The prices are clearly marked by the state. Please don't leave yet. We can discuss everything."

Ting He also reacted at this time, stopped awkwardly, patted the business manager on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile:

"Really? I'm so sorry, I misunderstood just now..."

At this point, she suddenly remembered her accent and immediately changed it and said, "Really? Five million is not five hundred yuan. That's great. Then my family's surgery money will be settled, right?"

The business manager heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and no longer cared about the lady's accent. Instead, he said, "I'll sign a contract to show that our pawnshop has received the item for 5 million. When we sign the contract, I'll deposit the money into your card. How about that?"

Ting He remembered that he only had a few dozen dollars in the bank, so he nodded and said, "Transfer the money first, and then I'll sign the contract."

Manager Wei nodded and went to draft the contract himself. Half an hour later, Manager Wei came in with the contract and a remittance statement and said, "Miss, the money has been remitted according to the card number you provided. Please check it. Now you just need to sign your name on this contract."

Ting He thought to herself that it was just a pawning of an item, but she had to go through such a serious process, which was really troublesome. However, she still wrote her name, put her fingerprints on it, and left the pawn shop with the money.

After Ting He left, the clerk came to Manager Wei and whispered, "Manager, this lady has a weird expression and a bad accent. Do we really not need to verify her identity? What if this thing comes from someone else?"

Manager Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. I'm not blind. I can see that the pendant is well preserved and it didn't come from a tomb. There's no need to worry about that. We're doing business seriously. Once the contract is signed, the money and goods are settled. There's no need to make any trouble. There's no need to check the identity of this lady. She must have her own reasons for hiding her identity. Let's go and send this pendant to my grandfather first. Let him study it carefully to see how old this antique is."

As he spoke, Manager Wei carefully placed the pendant in an antique wooden box, held it in his hand, and strode out of the pawn shop.

Ting He ignored the whispers between Manager Wei and the clerk behind her. She was quite satisfied with Manager Wei's words and behavior. It was only right that the money and goods were paid in full, so she happily dragged her suitcase and set out on the road of leaving Bincheng in her memory.

When she arrived at Bincheng High-speed Railway Station, she sat in a corner, took out her new mobile phone and bound her bank card to it. She bought a ticket to Heicheng from her mobile phone. While waiting for ticket inspection, she checked in her suitcase and boarded the high-speed railway to Heicheng directly.

In less than three hours, Tinghe returned to the place where she grew up. Looking at the orphanage which had hardly changed, she felt homesick for the first time. She stood at the door of the orphanage for a long time and was seen by the director, who earnestly invited her back inside.

Dean Liu's mother greeted her, "Hey, Tinghe is back? Did you make some money outside and come back to see the Dean's mother? Or did something happen? Why do you look unhappy?"

By the time Ting He came to her senses, she had already been taken back to her room by the director's mother, who immediately placed on the table the candies and cakes that she loved to eat as a child.
