341 Discussing Cooperation

Gu Man subconsciously looked at his hand. The spiritual energy on the ceramic was quite abundant, proving that this was a genuine piece.

She looked at the smile on Boss Zhao’s face and had to admit that his judgment of things was indeed very accurate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to expand the Appraiser Hall so widely.

Just as Gu Man was about to retract her gaze, Boss Zhao looked over. Their gazes met and she looked away casually. Unexpectedly, Boss Zhao walked over.

“Miss Gu, how have you been? I haven’t seen you in the ghost market for a long time.”

Gu Man nodded slightly in response.

Xiang Yin, who was walking in front, seemed to have heard a man’s voice behind him. He almost subconsciously turned around. When he saw Boss Zhao, the worry in his heart relaxed a lot.

He believed that no matter how bad Gu Man’s taste was, she would not leave him alone and choose a greasy man with a big belly.

Boss Zhao, who did not know that he had already been evaluated as a greasy man, looked at Gu Man with a smile.

Previously, the Appraiser Hall had always been managed by a shop assistant. He did not expect such a big thing to happen in the ghost market, and it was related to this lady in front of him.

Only now did Boss Zhao know that the Cui family supported the ghost market. It was also only now that he knew that Gu Man’s reputation had already spread throughout the ghost market.

He sized Gu Man up from head to toe, and the desire to cooperate with her became even stronger.

Although others did not know the reason for Gu Man’s disappearance, he had a wide network of connections and knew the inside story.

Others only knew that Gu Man had the ability to gamble on stones, but Boss Zhao’s intuition after so many years made him feel that Gu Man was not that simple. She probably not only had the ability to gamble on stones, but she also had a very sharp appraisal ability.

Although he did not want to believe the special abilities in the novels, Gu Man had not failed once since she came to the ghost market. It was inevitable that Boss Zhao would be suspicious.

However, if it was an x-ray ability, why could she identify antiques? It could only be said that Gu Man’s ability far exceeded his imagination, but it was definitely right for such a person to be on good terms with her!

Gu Man could see the scheme in Boss Zhao’s eyes, but that scheme did not have any ill intentions towards her. Moreover, one should not slap a smiling person. She only asked, “Boss Zhao, why are you blocking my way? Do you have something to discuss with me?”

“I do have a business to discuss with Miss Gu, but I don’t know if Miss Gu is interested.”

Gu Man lowered her head and thought for a moment. The Appraiser Hall had naturally had its reasons for being able to stand tall in the ghost market for so long. Her original intention was to be independent, but with Boss Zhao’s help, it would definitely save her a lot of trouble. Moreover, she did need some funds recently.

“We can talk about it in detail.”

After saying that, she looked at Xiang Yin’s position. Her intention to chase him away was obvious enough.

Xiang Yin looked at her cold gaze and felt even sadder. He had rushed to be someone’s boyfriend, but in the end, he was heartlessly chased away.

He was indignant and pretended not to see Gu Man’s gaze. He continued to stand beside her.

Gu Man looked at Xiang Yin deeply but did not say anything.

The two of them followed Boss Zhao to the Appraiser Hall and entered a door from a side alley. This seemed to be the backyard of the Appraiser Hall.

The two of them were a few steps behind Boss Zhao. Seeing that Gu Man did not speak much along the way, Xiang Yin was afraid that she would misunderstand. He closed the distance between the two of them and whispered into her ear, “He doesn’t look like a good person. Since I brought you here, I naturally have to ensure your safety.”

Gu Man did not say anything and only looked up at Xiang Yin.

She vaguely remembered the first time the two of them met. What made Xiang Yin think that she would be bullied by Boss Zhao? Could it be that she had been too weak recently, so she had given Xiang Yin such an illusion?

“Thank you.”

However, after all, it was Xiang Yin’s good intentions. Gu Man still expressed her gratitude.

Looking at Gu Man, who was thanking him seriously, Xiang Yin inexplicably felt that she was a little cute. His hands by his side were tempted, but in the end, he did not do anything.
