After hearing Boss Wang’s thoughts, Chen Ming nodded in agreement.

“Boss Wang is right. I have to thank you for helping me filter out all of these parasites. I wouldn’t be able to figure out their true colors myself.”

Chen Ming smiled.

“I’m really grateful, Boss Wang.”

He said what he was thinking.

Right now, Chen Ming’s judgment was not as sharp as Boss Wang’s, who had been successful in the business world for far longer.

Had it not been for Boss Wang, he might have been taken for a ride or strung along by an unscrupulous business partner.

After he finished speaking, Wang Linlin also understood her father’s concerns.

At this time, Boss Wang said kindly, “Haha, it’s no trouble at all. We’re business partners, and you’re Linlin’s godbrother. It’s only right that I do this.”

“You don’t have to thank me. Just send me some of the tea leaves you gave me last time.”

Boss Wang was smiling widely.

Chen Ming shook his head and laughed when he heard what Boss Wang said.

The atmosphere in the office was exceptionally good.

…

Back at the garbage processing plant, Chen Ming went straight to Qin Qing’s office after he was done with the follow-up work regarding the low-quality energy blocks.

Through the gap of the door, he could tell that Qin Qing was still finishing up, which did not take her long to complete.

After Qin Qing was done with her work, Chen Ming knocked on the door and walked into her office.

“Why are you here?” Qin Qing was slightly shocked. She could tell that Chen Ming had been waiting outside the door for a long time. She smiled helplessly and said, “Aren’t you afraid of getting cold waiting out there in the corridor?”

Chen Ming did not reply immediately. He hugged Qin Qing from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. He said lazily, “I was just afraid of disturbing your work.”

“There’s a new restaurant near the processing plant that’s pretty good. Clean up, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Even after they had confirmed their relationship, Chen Ming and Qin Qing had not had a formal date yet because they were busy with work.

Therefore, Chen Ming took this opportunity to bring Qin Qing there to relax and strengthen their relationship.

“Alright. I’ve also heard of this restaurant and that the food there is good. Let me pack up and then we’ll leave.”

Qin Qing naturally would not reject Chen Ming’s invitation.

Just like that, after Qin Qing was dressed, they went to the restaurant that Chen Ming had mentioned for dinner.

This was a couple’s restaurant. The interior was exquisitely decorated, and the atmosphere and mood were suitable for a date. Chen Ming and Qin Qing had chosen seats by the window, where they could see the scenery outside.

They enjoyed the scenery while eating and chatting in the restaurant. Both the meal and the atmosphere were comfortable.

After the meal, Chen Ming and Qin Qing decided to go shopping again since they had no other work to do. On the road, under the illumination of the street lights, Chen Ming held Qin Qing’s hand and walked leisurely down the street.

Their pace was neither fast nor slow, and they were simply enjoying their time together.

After they had walked for a while, Chen Ming said, “I heard that there’s an antique street nearby. Since it’s still early, let’s go there and take a look”.

“Sure, I’ve always wanted to go there.”

Qin Qing had long heard of this antique street and had always wanted to see it. However, because of her busy work schedule, she never had the chance or time to make it happen.

She did not expect Chen Ming to be interested in this place as well.

The two of them hit it off and decided to walk to the antique street.

…

The antique street was not far from where they were, and it took them less than ten minutes to reach their destination.

As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by a crowd of people. Even though the sky was getting dark, the number of customers in the antique street was still increasing, which was a clear indication of how popular it was.

Seeing this, Chen Ming and Qin Qing looked at each other and smiled. They walked into the antique street together.

In the antique street, there were all kinds of small merchants and hawkers, selling real or fake items. Once the goods were sold, they could not be returned or exchanged. This was also the rule of the antique street.

“Wow, there are so many things here. The items on sale are really something else!”

This was Qin Qing’s first time coming to such a place. Her eyes were full of curiosity. Almost every time she passed by a small stall, she had to stop to look at the wares that were being sold there.

Chen Ming also patiently followed behind her. He did not rush her. However, when he heard her words, he patiently said, “They only look real and exquisite on the surface.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing raised her eyebrows.

She reacted quickly.

“Could it be that most of the things in here are not genuine?”

Chen Ming nodded in agreement and continued, “Most of these items are knock-offs. They’re not valuable. People like us who don’t know much about the antique world rarely find anything truly valuable here.”

Qin Qing nodded in understanding.

She shifted her gaze away from the numerous antiques on display, and was about to continue walking when she noticed a jade bangle on sale at the stall next door.

The crystal clear jade bangle instantly attracted Qin Qing’s attention.

Following Qin Qing’s gaze, Chen Ming also noticed the jade bangle.

“If you like it, let’s go take a look,” Chen Ming said with a smile.

Qin Qing did not refuse. They took a few steps forward and went over to the stall.

Qin Qing’s eyes were fixed on the jade bangle. Seeing this, the stall owner quickly picked up the jade bangle and showed it off to Chen Ming and Qin Qing.

“You two have good eyes! Look at this jade bangle. It’s crystal clear. Let me tell you a secret. The raw material used to make this jade bangle is jade from an ancient mine!”

“If this lady likes it, I’ll give you a friendly price. Five hundred thousand. How about it?”

The peddler kept talking.

He made the jade bangle sound like a heavenly treasure, but Chen Ming, who had extraordinary vision, noticed something fishy. He had some understanding of jades and jadeite, and immediately realized that the jade bangle was definitely fake.

Hence, just as Qin Qing was about to buy it, Chen Ming asked, “Boss, are you sure that this jade bangle is real?”

As soon as he said that, the peddler’s expression darkened.

Just as the peddler was about to start cursing, Chen Ming continued, “Boss, although we’re not experts, don’t try to fool us. The green color of this jade bangle is uneven, and you can even see the bubbles. Are you certain that this wasn’t forged?”

Chen Ming hit the nail on the head with every piece of information he uttered, which left the peddler speechless.

He was shocked that this person could tell that it was fake even though he had yet to examine the bangle closely. He even cited and pointed out evidence!

This put him in a daze. Chen Ming took the opportunity to start talking about the price.

“Boss, we’ll buy this jade bangle for fifty.”

The peddler swallowed his saliva when he heard the price.

“…”

“Eh, fine, fine. You’re really something else. Take the bangle and leave!”

In the end, he was afraid that this incident would attract people’s attention, so he was forced to give in, allowing Chen Ming to successfully get the fake jade bangle at a low price!
