Chapter 4 The Campus Belle Was Blackmailed

Hearing the campus belle's question, Chen Yu smiled and stretched out a finger.

"One million dollars or one hundred thousand dollars?" Song Yan guessed.

Chen Yu shook his head silently.

"Could it be ten thousand yuan?" There was a flash of shock on Song Yan's cold face. Ten thousand yuan made a profit of three million yuan. He was so lucky.

Ever since she started antiques, she had made mistakes more times and picked up big bargains fewer, let alone earn 300 times more glorious results.

After a while, Song Yan felt that Chen Yu was bragging again. She had never encountered such a good thing, not to mention the poor boy in ordinary clothes.

Chen Yu did not express his opinion at all, for fear that he would anger the arrogant campus belle if he said he bought it for one hundred yuan.

At this moment, Chen Yu's phone rang, it was a message from the bank. He counted six zeros behind the number three, exactly three million. He couldn't conceal his excitement and smiled.

From this moment on, he officially became a millionaire. No one would dare to look down on him in the future.

After the transaction, Chen Yu was in a good mood. After bidding his farewells to Mr.Liu, he turned around and left, intending to find a high-classed restaurant to reward himself.

However, Song Yan's angry voice came from behind. "Stop right there. You haven't answered my question yet. You're too rude!"

"I bought it for 100 yuan, are you satisfied?" Chen Yu stopped in his tracks and answered with slight impatience. If it wasn't for Song Yan's persistent pestering, he didn't intend to say that it was better to keep a low profile.

"100 yuan?" Song Yan was completely shocked. 100 yuan for something worth three million yuan. How was it possible to earn 30,000 yuan? "Braggart. You must be bragging!"

She had guessed ten thousand yuan, but she didn't believe it, let alone one hundred yuan. More importantly, she was too proud to admit that Chen Yu was better than her.

"Whether I boast or not has nothing to do with you. By the way, you lost the bet earlier, and you still owe me a condition. How do you intend to compensate me?" Chen Yu smiled spuriously.

"I want to have another competition. Both of us will grab an item below 10,000 yuan in the Antique Street. Whoever picks up the most valuable one will be the winner. If you win, I promise you two conditions. If you lose, the bet between us will be settled!"

Song Yan was the favored daughter of the heavens and was proud and arrogant. She'd lost to the ordinary Chen Yu, so how could she swallow this insult? She had to win it back.

Faced with the competitive campus belle, Chen Yu was very helpless. According to Song Yan's attitude, if he did not agree, he would not be able to leave today. He could only nod and say, "Okay, I will carry my gentlemanly demeanor again and compete with you again!"

With the bet settled, the two of them walked out of the Treasure Gathering House together and came to the area of stall.

Song Yan, who was as beautiful as a flower and stunning as a fairy, was by his side, even Chen Yu's rate of second glance had increased. Most of the men looked at him with envy and jealousy.

Chen Yu muttered to himself: It's a pity that envy is useless. She's not my girlfriend.

Coming to a porcelain stall, Song Yan stopped, widened her beautiful eyes, concentrated, and began to examine the items one by one.

Glancing around, she shook her head repeatedly because most of the porcelains sold in this stall were imitations of modern craftsmanship and had no collection value.

Chen Yu was also sizing up the items in the stall one by one, and the information within his mind ceaselessly floated up into.

Modern porcelain, date of production: September 7th, 1970, worth 60 yuan; modern porcelain, date of production: June 2nd, worth 70 yuan...

The Blue and White Peony Cup, a product of Jingde Town in the Kangxi period. Price...

The Blue and White Chinese Rose Cup, a product of the Jingde Town in the Kangxi period. Price...

When Chen Yu glanced at the two seemingly ordinary porcelain cups, his eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. The ability of his eyes to mutate was really amazing. He was going to pick up a big bargain again.

"Sir, how much is this thing?" Chen Yu suppressed his joy and pretended to be calm. He casually picked up a pen holder that was ten centimeters high with flower patterns printed on it and asked.

Song Yan turned her head and didn't need to look carefully to know that the pen holder was a piece of modern artwork.

She pursed her lips and thought that she was right. "He was obviously an amateur. He had won the appraisal by luck."

Song Yan snorted proudly and wanted to go to other stalls to hunt for treasures. When she turned around, she accidentally touched a porcelain bowl at the edge of the stall.

With a bang, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Ouch, this is my family's ancestral red bowl of rouge. It's priceless, but you broke it. Hurry up and pay for it!"

The vendor had already noticed Song Yan. She was more beautiful than the stars, had an outstanding temperament, and was dressed in famous brands. Obviously, she was a girl from a rich family. If he had a chance, he would swindle a lot of money out of her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. How much is it? I'll compensate you." It was the first time for Song Yan to encounter such a scene, so she was a little flustered for a moment.

"A hundred thousand, not a single cent less! This is my family's ancestral treasure!" The vendor cried out in grief.

Chen Yu looked at the broken porcelain and a prompt appeared in his mind: The ordinary porcelain bowl at the end of the Qing Dynasty is worth 1,500 yuan. It has been broken and is worthless.

Song Yan was suddenly stunned. She had just seen the porcelain bowl and recognized that it was a ceramic ware from the late Qing Dynasty. It had no collection value at all.

Although she had money, it did not mean that she was willing to be a sucker. She retorted immediately, "Don't blackmail me. This porcelain bowl is worth at most 2,000 yuan."

"This is my family heirloom. It's of great significance to me. Now that it's destroyed by you, how can I explain it to my ancestors? I don't even have 2,000 yuan. If you don't pay for it, don't even think about leaving."

Seeing the meat at the corner of his mouth, how could he allow it to fly away? The vendor started to act rudely with a furious expression on his face.

Song Yan was also annoyed and said, "This is an ordinary porcelain produced by the kilns at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Who would treat it as a family heirloom? You made it up! I'm unlucky. I'll pay you 5,000 yuan at most."

After the vendor was exposed, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he continued to be unreasonable. If others didn't knew about his heirloom, he could say whatever he wanted.

This vendor was trying to extort money from others. Chen Yu couldn't sit idly by and do nothing. He had to teach him a lesson. His eyes rolled around as a plan formed in his mind.

"Sir, don't be so unscrupulous in doing business. Do you know who she is? She is the daughter of the Song family. Do you still want the stall?"

The Song family was a well-known family in Ninghai City, and everyone knew it. The vendor was shocked. He thought that Song Yan was just an ordinary rich lady, but he didn't expect her to have a powerful background.

The vendor could not afford to offend the Stones. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, but at the same time, he was greedy. "No matter who it is, you have to compensate for damaging my ancestral treasure. I don't think Miss Song did it on purpose. I'll make a loss, but you still need to pay 10,000 yuan."

Seeing that scaring him was effective, Chen Yu pretended to be a mediator and said, "It seems that it's not easy for you to do business. I will pay ten thousand for her, but you have to let me pick up two more things so that we can find a psychological balance."

Chen Yu strolled through the streets and alleys for many years, collecting all kinds of trash. It was truly a sight to behold. After beating the vendor with a stick and giving him a sweet date, he was sure that the greedy vendor would not have the time to think too much about it.

"This brother here is reasonable. My stall is full of good things, so it is convenient for you all to take them. You can choose any two items so that you won't call me a scammer." The vendor pretended to be generous, but in his heart, he was extremely happy.

"As long as they paid, everything would be fine. There was nothing of value in my stall at all. Not to mention compensating two items, even ten items would surely be able to earn a large sum of money."

What the vendor didn't know was that he had already been schemed against by Chen Yu. He thought that he had taken advantage of Chen Yu so much that he wouldn't even be able to find a place to cry.
