Know Yourself in the Dragon World

"Okay, I thought it was a movie." Lu Mingfei's nails were almost digging into the leather cover of the seat.

"I've seen the movie, too." Angers commented, "Some of the techniques in it cannot be explained from a physics perspective."

"But... Principal, we all have words, do we still need to learn physics?"

“It takes a little bit.”

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but Angers sped up again and shut up his trash talk.

He wanted to say: Principal, you already have something like 'time zero', and you still talk about physics. How embarrassed are those physicists!

"Your name is Ricardo, a collector from CN, and you have a special feeling for swords." After tasting the red wine, Ange put down the glass and took out a bound identity document and mission plan, along with a bank card and a badge made of pure gold.

During the whole process, the car was still moving and Angers only occasionally looked up at the road.

We are completely out of the city of Chicago.

"David Ricardo?" Lu Mingfei thought the name was a bit strange.

"The English name is Ricardo, which was suggested by Nuonuo. It is said that the inspiration came from a friend of hers, who is not a mixed-race, but an ordinary Chinese girl. That girl has a boyfriend who is a rich second-generation, and a secret admirer who is a junior student from CN and has an ordinary family background. Ricardo is the name of that junior student."

"Did David Ricardo make a comeback?" Lu Mingfei was naturally interested in other people's stories.

Maybe it's the nature of every boy, oh no, man.

"No. When it comes to secret love, only the secret lover naively thinks that he or she is the only one in the world who knows about it." Angers smiled calmly, "I heard from Nono that Ricardo once confronted a rich second-generation man directly for his senior sister."

"He failed?"

"Not really. He doesn't even have the courage to look up and face the sharp eyes of the rich second generation."

"What a coward... That senior sister is dating a rich second-generation guy, right?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Lu Mingfei sighed, feeling somewhat sad for Ricardo.

But if you think about it carefully, one is an ordinary person and the other is extremely wealthy, how could they not be timid?

Lu Mingfei thought of Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen.

Perhaps the only difference between him and Ricardo is that when he liked Chen Wenwen, she was not yet taken.

And since Ricardo dared to be interested in a girl who was already in a relationship, he must have more courage than me.

"The more afraid you are, the more you have to move forward." Ange suddenly said, "If you do nothing, you will always lose. What are you afraid of?"

"Maybe... I'm afraid of failure." After Lu Mingfei said this, he felt that it was nonsense.

Doing nothing is also a failure.

This becomes a paradox, facing failure because of the fear of failure.

Lu Mingfei wanted to say again: Failure is different from failure. The experience of failing secretly and failing openly is completely different.

But as Angers said: When it comes to secret love, only the secret lover naively thinks that he or she is the only one in the world who knows about it.

In fact, there is no such thing as "secret failure" in the true sense, there is only self-deception.

"Principal, why did you have to choose such a name for me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

There's always a feeling of ulterior motive.

"Why?" Ange shook his head. "No reason, it's just that I like Ricardo in this story."

"Everyone has been a Ricardo," said Angers.

"But everyone can choose not to be a Ricardo," added Angers.

Lu Mingfei nodded absentmindedly.

"Memorize it as soon as possible, I have to speed up." Angers free hand finally gripped the steering wheel.

……

"Are you ready?" Ange asked calmly.

The car stopped at the edge of the mountain road, and Lu Mingfei had just changed his luggage.

A well-fitting Anima suit with a pure gold badge pinned on the chest.

Ange took a look and felt that the hairstyle was not quite satisfactory, so he took out the hair wax and gave Lu Mingfei a slicked back hairstyle.

He lit another cigar and put it into Lu Mingfei's mouth.

"Yes, that's the way it should be." Angers nodded with satisfaction and asked immediately, "Who are you?"

"Ricardo is a collector from CN, a spendthrift son, who is interested in sword collections. This time he came for the sword set at the Sotheby's private auction, an 'unexpected encounter'." As soon as he spoke, Lu Mingfei started coughing because of the cigar smoke. "Principal, I have never smoked, let alone touched a cigar. I'm not used to it..."

"Just hold it in your mouth and take it off when you talk." Angers reminded: "Talk in a more dandy tone."

"Ok."

"Go ahead, walk forward, turn the corner and you'll see the mansion." Angers took out the micro communicator and put it into Lu Mingfei's ear. "I'll remind you what to do when the time is right, you don't have to reply."

"Won't they search me?"

“They don’t search buyers whose qualifications have been verified.”

"Okay, I'm off then."

"Come on, I'll pick you up when this is over."

"Principal, why don't you just send me there?"

“Some roads you have to walk on your own.”

----

Ange said it was a mansion.

This is not a mansion, it's clearly a manor.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the manor gate, looking particularly small.

These rich people are really interesting. They like to build houses like this in the mountains.

Maybe he is not rich enough to acquire such a large piece of land in the city where every inch of land is valuable.

"Hello, who is this?" A white-haired old man in a more decent suit was standing at the door. When he saw Lu Mingfei coming over, he stepped forward to greet him, "I'm the butler here."

Lu Mingfei took the cigar from his mouth and said in a crazy tone according to Ange's instructions: "Ricardo, contact Ms. Su."

As he spoke, he pointed to the badge on his chest.

The old butler looked at it, took out a magnifying glass to confirm the badge, and then bowed politely: "Mr. Ricardo, please come in, the master is waiting for you in the main hall."

"Don't say thank you." Ange reminded on the communicator: "Hold your head high, be arrogant enough, and be contemptuous enough."

Crazy enough, contemptuous enough?

Lu Mingfei walked into the manor and went to the main hall without caring about his relatives.

From the action plan, we can learn that the seller this time is a woman, Ms. Su, but her specific name is unknown.

He spent two million dollars to buy the sword set at an auction, but later wanted to sell it because he didn't like it.

It took less than half a month from buying to selling.

Before Lu Mingfei, three private buyers had come to this manor but backed off because of the price.

Ms. Su has a different offer for each private buyer who intends to purchase, with the lowest being five million and the highest being twenty million.

In addition, if you want to meet Ms. Su, you need to go through a tedious qualifications certification.

This resulted in not many people coming to see the collection, which should have been quite popular.

However, Ms. Su does not seem to be in a hurry.

Lu Mingfei was envious. It’s good to have money. You can buy whatever you want and you can also make a price when selling. It doesn’t matter to me whether you buy it or not.

Unlike him, he keeps all the comic books, magazines and periodicals as treasures.

My aunt said before that since we have graduated, we might as well sell it as waste paper.

Lu Mingfei would rather die than obey, and even though he was very poor during the summer vacation in his senior year of high school, he never thought about it.

I can’t bear to move!

But I have to say, Ms. Su is really ruthless. She bought something for two million, but the lowest offer she makes is five million.
