Chapter 636: Cheating foreigners’ money, isn’t that cheating?

Before Su Chen could reply, Kong Aichun started to chatter.

"Xiao Su, you know what's going on, right? Nowadays, human traffickers don't just kidnap women and children, they kidnap men too. Especially a fool like him, who was sold to the north to work in a coal mine. He's probably counting money for others."

Su Chen was puzzled: "I remember yesterday... Uncle Chai and the others took him out for a walk, right?"

"Old Chai knows nothing!"

"He's never been outside of Emerald City, how could he know the dangers?"

Su Chen tapped his fingers on the table.

"So, he's leaving Emerald City?"

"Yes, yes, we're heading north. They say we're heading to Kyoto, but you know there are the most coal mines near Kyoto!"

Kong Aichun was worried sick.

"Last night they told me they had met a big boss and asked him to move into the hotel with them. They were also going to take him to Kyoto. The salary was over 500 yuan a month. My heart almost jumped out of my chest."

"How old are you? The two of you are over a hundred years old, and you are still so naive."

Su Chen cleared his throat: "Aunt Chun, you are cautious."

"Of course! If I hadn't been more careful, I would have been ripped off all my money over the years!"

Kong Aichun said this and looked at Lao Liao and Chai Daqian opposite him.

"Xiao Su, can you help me explain it?"

Su Chen nodded: "Then Aunt Chun, please bring them here, I will take a look at their faces and calculate their fortunes."

Tao Sibai and the others came over. Su Chen took a look at them and smiled at Kong Aichun.

"Aunt Chun, you worry too much!"

Kong Aichun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't believe it: "No, they just went out for a walk, and they really ran into a kind-hearted boss?"

“Still from Kyoto”

"Are you really going to pay more than 500 yuan a month?"

Chai Daqian felt helpless when he heard this.

"I was wondering why you were acting so weird so early in the morning. Do you really think I'm lying?"

"I told you, I have never been to Kyoto, but I have heard of the name Bohua." His son and daughter-in-law had spent all their savings to buy a house in Kyoto, and they told him about Bohua. It was said that it had three buildings in Kyoto and was a large company.

Tao Sibai beside him nodded heavily: "I also think Boss Zhuang is a very good person."

"Sister, he asked me to do charity work."

charitable?

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

This boss Zhuang has a really... sharp vision.

When people like Tao Sibai do charity, corruption is absolutely unacceptable, let alone other things.

He actually wanted to get to know Mr. Zhuang.

Seeing Kong Aichun's embarrassed expression, Chai Daqian asked, "Since Xiao Su has said so, can you let him go now?"

"It just so happens that not many people are buying my cakes right now, so I'm just sending Xiao Tao to the Fuyao Hotel."

Su Chen: "Fuyao?"

"Yes, that Boss Zhuang lives in the Fuyao Hotel."

"Xiao Su, you know, the Fuyao Hotel is now the largest hotel in Cuicheng. A room costs hundreds of dollars a night. Anyone who can afford to stay in such a hotel, can he be a liar?"

"Only Ah Chun..."

Kong Aichun was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, Lao Chai, if you say that again, do you believe I won't let you set up a stall in front of my store?"

Chai Daqian: “…”

"Xiao Tao, let's go pack up."

People dispersed.

Old Liao stayed.

He looked around, then stealthily pulled out a packet of yellow paper from his bosom and slowly unfolded it: "Xiao Su, my grandson picked up some small things at the construction site yesterday, look..."

"Is this... worth anything?"

When the yellow paper was opened, inside was a pile of copper coins covered with yellow mud.

It looks like there are at least hundreds of them.

Along with it, there is a slightly pungent smell.

Su Chen frowned.

"Did your grandson really pick it up?"

Lao Liao chuckled twice and scratched his head: "Xiao Su, I still can't hide it from you."

He explained that his son passed by a place on his way back from playing cards the night before and saw someone acting suspiciously. He shouted and the person ran away. He went over with a flashlight and saw a hole on the ground. He dug with a branch and found the copper coins.

"That brat said the copper coin was an antique and very valuable, and he wanted to sell it. I was mainly worried that it might be dirty, so I thought... hey, bring it here so you can take a look first."

"You can't... choose money over life, right?"

Old Liao’s little plan is working very well.

However, the next moment, Su Chen shattered his beautiful dream.

"This is indeed a copper coin, but it is newly minted."

Lao Liao was stunned: "What?!"

Lin Jingyu, who came out of the alley, walked closer and took a look.

Seeing that it was a copper coin, he picked it up and looked at it carefully.

He smelled the loess again and asked curiously, "Where did this come from?"

After hearing Lao Liao's story again, Lin Jingyu laughed: "After digging everything out, this is all you found?"

"Huh? Y-is there a problem?"

Lin Jingyu nodded: "Someone must have stolen it, but the craftsmanship is not very good. The craftsmanship of making this copper coin look old is really poor."

"Aging?" Old Liao blinked blankly.

"Ah, isn't collecting antiques popular now? It's not just copper coins, there are also antiqued porcelains. They try to make newly made things look old to deceive people. Some of these methods are really clever, and many professors have been fooled."

Lao Liao laughed dryly: "So... these are worthless?"

"What do you say?"

Old Liao was a little annoyed.

"Who is it? Why do you have to come up with these things to torment me?"

Then, with a hint of anticipation, he said, "Ah Yu, what do you think about selling this..."

Lin Jingyu: "Unless you meet a blind foreigner, people in the industry can tell the real from the fake at a glance."

"Foreigner? I don't understand the bird language they speak..." Old Liao scratched his head, unwilling to accept the result. "How about I let my son take it to Wusi Road and display it?"

Then he asked again: "Ayu, it's not a lie to cheat foreigners out of their money, right?"

Lin Jingyu: "Just don't run into my brother and the others, or I'll definitely invite you to have tea and sit on the bench."

Old Liao immediately backed off, but soon his eyes rolled again.

Su Chen and Lin Jingyu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Immediately he reminded: "Uncle Liao, you'd better give up this idea!"

He is an honest person. Even if he wants to lie, his facial expressions and body language are not harmonious. It would be strange if anyone believed him!

Old Liao, however, refused to listen. He quickly gathered the copper coins and put them in his pocket, saying perfunctorily, "Well, I won't lie to foreigners. I'll find someone... I'll go to the West Lake and throw these into the lake. Yes, into the lake!"

Seeing him running back, Lin Jingyu shook his head and said, "Uncle Liao still wants to get rich overnight!"

Su Chen: "Who doesn't want to? I want to too."

"It's okay. He'll stop when he tries and finds this road is blocked."

"correct!"

Su Chen told Lin Jingyu about Tao Sibai's encounter with Mr. Zhuang from Kyoto.

"Boss Zhuang from Bohua?" Lin Jingyu was surprised.

"you know?"

"Yes, I met him at a party." Lin Jingyu nodded. "He comes from a coal boss family. I heard he's a relative of a big shot, so he's quite well-connected in Kyoto."

"He wants to do charity? And he's specifically recruiting people? Isn't he going to set up a charity fund? If that's the case, I have to go to Fuyao to have a cup of tea with him!"
