Getting the best from Tarkov
Chapter 19: The truth is revealed
Currently in the warehouse, apart from the bell sculpture and horse sculpture, the crow and cat are the only two statues with more than 10 in number.
Unlike bell carvings and vases and teapots, they will not be converted directly into real objects. Instead, you will be asked to convert them, just like animal sculptures.
However, Liao Fan had tried it before. Even a single bell carving could be transformed, but none of the things that came out were small, and none of them were antiques.
Liao Fan estimated that if he wanted to convert antique watches, the quantity required would not be small.
Looking at the remaining crow statues and cat sculptures in the warehouse.
Liao Fan's first choice was the crow.
The reason is simple. There are only 13 cat sculptures, but there are 28 crows in the warehouse.
Of course, horse sculptures are the most common. But there's really no place to put them. Maybe there will be a way to do that in the future.
Thinking of this, Liao Fan sold all 28 crow sculptures at once. Then he saw a bird with a completely black body but red claws and beak appear in the transformation space.
The moment the bird appeared, Liao Fan knew its species: red-billed chough.
A very common bird found in rural fields.
However, it is much more beautiful and intelligent than ordinary crows, especially its little red pointed beak, which is very eye-catching.
Thinking of this, Liao Fan decisively took out the little bird.
As soon as it came out, the red-billed chough flew directly to the top of the wardrobe and looked down vigilantly.
Through the system, Liao Fan learned that the bird's lifespan is about 18-20 years. It is currently in its youth and very energetic.
At this time, the little crow was staring at Liao Fan with curious eyes.
And at the moment when Liao Fan looked into his eyes, he miraculously felt that he seemed to vaguely understand what the other person was thinking.
For example, now, he vaguely knew from the raven's eyes that the other party was a little hungry and a little afraid of the unfamiliar environment, but he trusted him very much and even relied on him a little.
Thinking of this, Liao Fan gently raised his left arm. Sure enough, the little jay landed on Liao Fan's arm without hesitation from the wardrobe.
This was not the end yet. The little crow first looked at Liao Fan, and then began to jump up along his arm little by little, until it stood on Liao Fan's shoulder, and then it calmed down.
At this time, the little crow seemed to have found a support, and kept rubbing its head against Liao Fan's cheeks and chin, making Liao Fan feel itchy.
Seeing the little crow kissing him so closely, Liao Fan felt relieved and casually named it "Red Beak".
On the other hand, the little chough made such a hasty decision after hearing his name, and immediately showed an expression of despair.
I don’t know how that little head can show such a complicated expression.
Now that you have a pet, you need to prepare a nest and all the necessary things for it, but you don’t have any of these things at home, so it seems you have to go to a pet store.
In Liao Fan's imagination, this should have been a very simple matter, but after he pushed open the doors of one pet shop after another, he found that the problem seemed a bit complicated.
It seems that most pet stores don’t sell bird-related pet supplies.
After wandering around the neighborhood for an hour without any results, Liao Fan had no choice but to take a taxi to Shanghai's largest flower, bird, fish and insect market.
However, it must be said that although Liao Fan is now a wealthy man with a net worth of tens of millions, his vision has always remained at the level of the working class. At least in his cognition, pets are cats, dogs, or small fish and birds.
At most you can raise a rabbit, a turtle, or a cricket or something.
But when he walked into the market, his eyes were truly opened.
Not to mention the cats and dogs, the bird pets alone were enough to make him dizzy.
Things like parrots and pigeons are common, and Liao Fan actually saw canaries and kestrels being sold in the market.
Can this thing be raised by one person? I don’t know, and I don’t dare to ask.
If those are just a bit "punishing", then there are some things that are even more difficult to understand.
For example, not far from the store that sells canaries and kestrels, there is a store that sells reptiles.
At first Liao Fan thought it was just a family buying some small turtles or crickets.
But when Liao Fan walked in out of curiosity, he was so scared that he didn't dare to wander around.
I saw snakes coiled in small breeding boxes.
Liao Fan couldn't recognize most of the creatures by name, but there were a few he recognized, such as a cobra and a green tree viper.
The reason why Liao Fan knew about the tree viper was because he saw it in the "Animal Encyclopedia" when he was a child in an orphanage.
The unique scales and cool shape have always been fresh in Liao Fan's memory.
But if he remembered correctly, these two kinds of snakes were highly poisonous. Is it really okay to just leave them in the store?
As a result, when Liao Fan turned around, he was shocked again.
In the breeding boxes in the corner of the room, there were actually several spiders, various lizards, and other insects whose names I couldn't remember.
The most disgusting thing was that one of the boxes was full of cockroaches.
When Liao Fan saw what the bugs in the box were, his entire scalp went numb. He had been afraid of this kind of bug since he was a child.
Not daring to stay any longer, Liao Fan turned around and ran out. In his haste, he didn't even realize that he accidentally bumped into an employer who was choosing a pet.
After leaving the store and walking forward for more than a hundred meters, Liao Fan stopped and looked back with lingering fear.
It was horrible. He couldn't understand why anyone would like that kind of thing. Didn't he feel bad?
Because he had just been frightened, Liao Fan no longer had the idea of continuing to shop. He looked at the time and it was almost 4 o'clock.
Without wasting any more time, Liao Fan found a pet shop that sold birds, bought a very ordinary bird cage, and bought all the other necessary things. Then he took a bus home without looking back.
Sitting on the sofa, watching the red-billed birds flying around in front of him, Liao Fan felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Although he has lived almost entirely alone since childhood, he has never refused animals approaching him.
When he was a child, the old dean said that he was a kind person and all the animals liked him.
He used to be proud of this and often fed the kittens and puppies in the orphanage.
In the end, the little animals felt embarrassed and would run away every time they saw him in order to avoid him spending money.
During that time, Liao Fan even hoped to become a zoo keeper in the future, but was later persuaded by the old director.
After playing with Hongzui for a while, Liao Fan looked at his watch and saw that it was already past 5 o'clock. He got up, put on his clothes and went to the hot pot restaurant where they had agreed to meet.
With the previous experience, this time the chairman started to order food according to the amount of six or seven people. However, when Liao Fan thought it was just an ordinary dinner, he met someone he really didn't want to see.
And he hasn't been able to dodge it yet.
"Liao Fan? It's really you! Long time no see, why are you here?"
"Wang Zhiwei, you are here too."
"Aha, you didn't know this, but this shop is owned by my family. If you had known you were coming today, I wouldn't have come. Seeing you makes me lose my appetite."
"Wang Zhiwei, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, but... hello, ladies. I'm Liao Fan's childhood friend and the owner of this restaurant. Since you're Liao Fan's friends, I'll treat you to a meal. I wonder if it would be nice to get to know you?"
After hearing what Wang Zhiwei said, Liao Fan felt depressed for no reason, but he didn't know how to say anything. After all, this was someone else's shop. Moreover, one of the two people opposite was his immediate superior, and the other was just an antique shop owner. In the final analysis, they were not his relatives, and he had no right to say anything.
At this time, Feng Caier was still rinsing the meat slices in her hand as if nothing had happened, but Tang Yunong was a little confused.
Isn't Liao Fan a hidden boss? How could he know someone like this? And judging by the other person's tone, he seems to look down on Liao Fan. What's going on?
Could it be that she had misunderstood something? Also, if she remembered correctly, this shop seemed to belong to the family of a college classmate of hers. How did it become this person's business?
Thinking of this, even though Tang Yunong already disliked this very self-righteous man, she did not refuse immediately, but began to talk to him subtly.
After all, Wang Zhiwei is just a gigolo. He met a rich girl while working in the gym two years ago.
In the end, no one knows what means he used, but he actually managed to trick the other party.
Not long after, the two announced their marriage, which caused a sensation among their classmates at the time, even though the wife was marrying into the family.
Normally, he was given this shop and another car detailing shop to run around with. But ever since he accepted the two properties from his mother-in-law's family, he'd been using them to bully others.
When he had nothing to do, he would often drive the cars left by other customers in the car beauty shop for modification or maintenance, and go out to cheat people. It is said that he once met a boss from another place who had his Cullinan serviced at his shop, and he got a good deal. During that period, he had three girlfriends.
Not only that, when he had nothing to do, he relied on his status as the boss to harass the two little girls in the store.
But how could those employees compare to Tang Yunong in terms of beauty? Even the prettiest among them might not be even one-tenth as pretty as Tang Yunong.
Look, he was already a little distracted by the two stunning beauties in front of him, and was further tempted by Tang Yunong's deliberate questions.
He couldn't even hold on for a minute before he revealed everything he had.
After learning the details, Tang Yunong was completely stunned.
Through Wang Zhiwei's narration, although it can be confirmed that the other party is indeed the boss here, this is no longer the most critical point.
The most important thing now is that Liao Fan is really an orphan.
Because Wang Zhiwei and Liao Fan grew up in an orphanage.
In this way, all previous assumptions will be overturned.
This Liao Fan is not the next generation heir of some hidden great family who is being trained, but just an ordinary office worker with no background.
Thinking of this, Tang Yunong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. In the past period of time, she had put a lot of effort into getting closer to Liao Fan without being noticed.
First, he found an excuse to improve Liao Fan's working environment, and then he went to the company from time to time to show his face and make himself familiar to the company.
For this reason, she would dress herself up every time, and even deliberately ignore the rumors that were circulating in the company.
Tang Yunong felt more and more embarrassed the more she thought about it. She couldn't even eat her meal. She looked at Feng Cai'er who was completely indifferent beside her, clenched her fists secretly, stood up, found an excuse and left.
Feng Caier was not really indifferent.
She heard every word of the conversation between Tang Yunong and the man named Wang Zhiwei.
At this moment, her heart was also very shocked, and no less than Tang Yunong's.
At first, Tang Yunong mistakenly thought that Liao Fan had a hidden identity because of his investment ability, while Feng Caier misunderstood because of the antiques Liao Fan brought out.
If the sweet white glaze from the folk kiln that was taken out the first time could only be said to be a bargain, then the set of blue and white porcelain tea sets that Liao Fan took out this time was not so easy to explain.
Seeing such a genuine thing at first glance, even a fool would not let it go. How could he wait for Liao Fan?
But since the other party has no hidden identity, where did these things come from?
As the person involved in this incident, Liao Fan was completely unaware that the two women were racking their brains over his identity, and was still eating the slices of meat on the table.
I have to say that although the owner of this restaurant is very unpleasant, the ingredients of this restaurant are absolutely impeccable.
Whether it is meat or seafood, they are all very fresh and the portions are generous.
Unlike some hotpot restaurants, a serving of lamb slices for a few hundred yuan only has a small pile. The presentation looks quite intimidating, but there is actually ice cubes underneath.
However, after seeing Tang Yunong leave, Liao Fan felt a little embarrassed to continue pretending nothing happened.
Although he didn't have a high emotional intelligence, he could still sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the dinner table.
Feeling that his stomach was already about 70% full, Liao Fan put down his chopsticks and looked at Feng Caier who was still sitting opposite him.
"Sister Cai'er? Is the chairman okay?"
"Huh? What do you mean? What's wrong with her?"
"I saw her chatting with my childhood friend for a while and then left. Is there something wrong?"
"Uh...it's okay. It has nothing to do with you. Are you full?"
"Um... almost. How about you?"
"I'm almost there, how about we stop here?"
"...Okay, let's stop here for now."
When Liao Fan arrived outside the store and looked at the bright streets and the cars passing through them, he suddenly felt out of place. He turned around and looked at Feng Cai'er who was putting on makeup behind him. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sister, how about I take you home?"
"Hmm? Oh, no, you go ahead. I'm going to the mall behind to buy some things later."
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
"Well, bye. Next time you have something good like that, remember to think of me."
"Yeah, I remember."
When Liao Fan got in a taxi and saw that the store entrance was deserted, he felt that something was different from the daytime.
Although he couldn't put it into words, there was something wrong with the attitude of both Feng Cai'er and the chairman towards him.
After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Liao Fan decided not to waste his time on it anymore. They were so far away from him anyway. Not to mention the chairman, even thinking of Yang Xue now felt a little unreal.
How did I end up sleeping with her without thinking?
. . .
Time seemed to go backwards. Since that dinner, Liao Fan's life once again returned to a month ago.
Yang Xue acted as if nothing had happened. She worked as usual and did what she was supposed to do. She went to work and came home every day without fail. She had never done anything intimate with Liao Fan, let alone proposed any date.
It was as if what happened that day had never happened.
The chairman never came to the company again. If there was anything, he would basically ask the general manager to arrange it over the phone.
However, the money that should have been paid to Liao Fan was not in arrears and was paid in full in early October.
After returning home, Liao Fan first stroked the crow as usual, until the red-billed crow became a little impatient, and then he let go of his claws.
I looked at the date and it was almost time to move.
Over the past month, although Liao Fan seemed to be very peaceful during the day, he was actually going through a lot of trouble behind the scenes.
With the 10 million yuan in his account, and the extremely accurate stock market and futures trends from the intelligence documents, Liao Fan made nearly 100 million yuan in this month, not counting the 2.6 million yuan he made from selling antiques.
When he got off work today, Liao Fan looked at his account and found that he had preliminarily completed a small goal?
These are actually not the most important things. What makes Liao Fan most excited is that the Golden Egg’s CD has finally expired.
Because Liao Fan frequently bought golden eggs from the flea market, he was eventually restricted by the system.
After a month, the CD finally expired.
After looking at the 28 golden eggs stored in the warehouse, Liao Fan took them all out in one go.
