Chapter 124 Hate deeply "Third Prince, I bought it back."
The guard held the wooden box embroidered with gold thread high above his head.
Sang Ao took the wooden box, opened it, and took out a wood carving.
He gently stroked the long hair of the wooden sculpture and touched it all the way to the slender waist.
"Go down and get the reward."
"Yes."
The guard stepped back and added another sentence before exiting the room.
"Two pieces were auctioned, and the other one was taken away by Xuan Lin's people."
Sang Ao paused in his stroking movements and sneered: "He can only buy the wood carvings and look at them."
Lianguzhai.
Xuan Lin raised his arms and hesitated to write.
"Your Majesty, let's eat first."
Manager Liu sighed. Xuan Lin had been painting this painting for two hours and had scrapped countless pictures. Every time he drew the eyes, he would not be able to continue painting.
Xuan Lin stopped writing in silence, and as soon as he stepped out, he met Jiang Fei who was running towards him in a hurry.
"Guard Guard Jiang, what's going on?"
Manager Liu couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw him sweating profusely while running.
He went to Black Rock City two days ago. Could something big happen there? Jiang Fei didn't bother wiping his sweat, untied the package behind his back, and presented the wooden box inside with both hands.
Manager Liu helped Xuan Lin take it and opened it gently.
I saw a wooden statue of a god immediately placed. It was painted and looked very vivid.
He took it out carefully and exclaimed with just one glance: "Is this Dr. Wen?!"
Xuan Lin was not interested at all, so he immediately took it from Mr. Liu's hand.
It is indeed Wen Yunxi's appearance.
Compassion...
Has she ever looked like this? Xuan Lin gently stroked the long hair of the wooden sculpture and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"Xicheng Ghost Market."
Jiang Fei learned the news accidentally. Fortunately, he brought a lot of money with him and grabbed the first one.
"Go and buy everything else."
Jiang Fei said quickly: "Your Majesty, there are only two of them, and one of them was bought by Sang Ao's people."
That man had been to Pingxiba with Sang Ao before. The two had met each other and both knew each other's identities.
"Sang Ao..."
Xuan Lin thought of the way Sang Ao looked at Wen Yunxi and frowned.
"You pay close attention and buy it when you find it."
"Yes!"
Jiang Fei resigned.
"You've done a great job. Your monthly salary is doubled."
Jiang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this. It was no wonder that he rushed back all the way. It seemed that the flatterer was in the right place.
Seeing Xuan Lin walking back with the wood carving in his hands, Manager Liu was surprised: "Your Majesty, let's eat first."
Xuan Lin shook his head, "You go ahead and I'll finish painting the eyes."
Pingxi Dam.
"How? How much did you lose this time?"
Su Qiao faced the dark circles under his eyes and put down the brocade handkerchief he was using to wipe his hands.
They have been very busy these days, and they only have a little time to chat after dinner.
"What? Are you asking for Ayun?"
Su Qiao frowned, "Just answer it properly, I won't ask you for a salary increase, so why are you talking about it?"
Ever since Shu Yun came to Pingxiba, Wen Yunxi always liked to mention Shu Yun in front of him no matter what he did. He really couldn't understand what they were playing.
Wen Yunxi wiped his hands slowly, "Because Zhuo Yun accounts for [-]%, I should be concerned about money."
"That's her business, not mine."
The girl was too fierce and he was afraid.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Wen Yunxi didn't mention it any more, and the topic turned back to the previous content.
"As you know, the newspaper thing cost me half of my property. As for the free clinics and the delivery of rice and noodles in the past few days, there is not much left."
Su Qiao was not surprised by this result.
The business street opposite is under construction, with thousands of workers there, and the wages alone are tens of thousands of dollars every day, and there are also thousands of dollars spent on was still just a commercial street, with workshops built next to it. Those soldiers were specially brought from the four northern tribes, and their daily expenses were more than the workers.
In addition, there is the Qingzhu Hospital, which is a gold-selling beast. Doctors, nurses, security, logistics, and kitchen staff are a huge expense, and those who eat for free outside are also a huge expense.
The medicine money earned from Xuan Lin and the pearls deceived from Shuo Yun have all been spent long ago.
If it weren't for the support of business, Wen Yun would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Hey, can you still afford my salary?"
Su Qiao pointed to the dark circles under his eyes, "I suffered a work-related injury. If I continue to be so tired, I will definitely die early."
Wen Yunxi basically treated him like a donkey, thinking about working at sunrise and resting at sundown, which was simply a dream.
Just looking at the big stall in Guanping Xiba gives him a headache every day. When he goes back at night, he has to make plans and draw pictures.
Not only that, but they were constantly urging him to write articles and storybooks. Is this how people live?
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have collected Wen Yunxi's golden leaf. Wouldn't it be better to stay and relax on Luolin Mountain? Life is all about food and drink. There are fish and mushrooms on the mountains, and you can find salt mines. How cool and unrestrained.
Why did he go down the mountain and be enslaved by Wen Yunxi and intimidated by Zhuo Yun? He had endless worries every day.
If I continue to work like this, whether I can live past forty is a question.
"No, this can remove dark circles under the eyes. It will be eliminated with just one swipe."
Just as Su Qiao was about to accept it, he pushed the ointment back.
"I don't have to. I want everyone to know that you exploit your hired workers."
Wen Yunxi took the ointment back. Since Zhuo Yun hadn't come back yet, Su Qiao didn't feel any pain despite the dark circles under his eyes, so let him continue to wear it.
After a few days, just secretly apply ointment on him. As long as he is not discovered by Zhuo Yun, he will not be beaten by Zhuo Yun.
"By the way, you're talking about wages. You can take a look at this account book."
Wen Yunxi took out the account book he had prepared from his pocket.
Su Qiao was stunned. He took the account book and flipped it back. When he saw the content on the penultimate page, he gasped.
"What kind of wood carvings are you selling so expensively?"
Even if it is carved from golden nanmu, it is not so expensive.
"Idol."
"For the wooden statue, for the price you sold the white marble statue for, is the person who bought it not awake?"
Wen Yunxi chuckled and tapped the tip of his nose with his slender fingers, "Because that is my statue."
Su Qiao: "..."
This man is so shameless that he sells his own idol.
"Wait a minute, you weren't the one who had that statue carved, right?"
Wen Yunxi nodded, "Of course, peripheral products are the best to make money."
Su Qiao: "..."
Well, he is just a scholar who studied hard in his humble beginnings, not a profiteer with an eye for money. It is normal not to understand.
He turned his eyes back to the ledger and found something strange in it.
"Hey, why are the prices of the two wood carvings different by ten times?"
"Because the first one was sold to Jiang Fei."
"You must have lured him there on purpose."
As soon as Jiang Fei arrived in Black Rock City, he was targeted by Yi Hongfei's people. It was easy to deliberately release some information.
"The process is not important. Anyway, I sold him one at a low price."
"What about the second one?"
"The second thing is that someone was taken advantage of. Can't we give him a hard blow?"
"Who?"
"Sang Ao."
Su Qiao: "..."
"You dare to sell it to him? Aren't you afraid that he will turn your idol into a human pig and throw it into the pig pen?"
Wen Yunxi spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's just a wood sculpture, I don't feel anything."
"However, Sang Ao really hated him so much that he spent millions of dollars to buy a wood carving to take revenge."
Su Qiao turned another page in the account book, "But these are not enough. You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every day."
Wen Yunxi smiled, "So, the white jade statue is already being made."
Su Qiao: "..."
"Profiteer, give me a wage increase!"
