Chapter 323: No Rejection

Xiaoxue didn't know how much this statue was worth. She estimated her savings, including the usual pocket money, New Year's money and the anchor's income. Slowly, I accumulated a lot of money. But she didn't want to give too expensive a gift, Zhang Zian would definitely not accept it if it was too expensive, don't look at that person is always stingy, but he rejected all donations from netizens last time.

"Hmm...how much is this cat god? If it's too expensive, I can't afford it..." She asked the old man with a smirk, using her bargaining skills not so skillfully. She was afraid that the old man wouldn't believe it, so she quickly explained: "I'm just a small anchor, not like the big national anchors who earn millions every day..."

"how much……"

The old man seemed to have read her mind, stretched out five fingers, and said with a smile: "Just give this number."

Xiaoxue is most troubled by other people playing this kind of riddle, how much is five fingers? She has no relevant concepts at all!

"Fifty thousand?" She asked tentatively, if the old man said it was half a million, then she had no choice but to turn around and leave.

"It doesn't need that much, five thousand." The old man put down his hand and laughed, thinking the expression on her face was very interesting.

Xiaoxue exclaimed again, "Five thousand? Are you joking?"

"Do I seem to be joking?" The old man folded his hands, his expression serious, "I'm a businessman, how can I just ask for a price?"

"But..." Xiaoxue still couldn't believe it. This statue doesn't look like it's only worth 5,000 yuan. Even a small wooden ornament that someone gave her father is said to be worth tens of thousands of yuan. In her opinion, it's completely unreasonable, isn't it just a broken piece? wood? But this statue was different, its material, shape and origin were all extraordinary, unless the old man deliberately lied to her, there was no reason why it could not be compared to a broken wooden ornament.

Will he lie to her? Xiaoxue peeked at him. Although liars don't write the word "liar" on their faces, this old man really doesn't look like a liar, no matter in appearance or conversation. Is it good for him to lie to her? Besides, even if he was cheated, it was only five thousand yuan!

The old man also knew that he had to explain something further, otherwise he would be misunderstood by others, thinking that he had other plans, and that would be too wronged. It would be fine if he really had something in mind, but the problem is no, he just thinks this little girl is pleasing to the eye, as long as he looks pleasing to the eye, he has given away more valuable things.

He smiled and said, "A while ago, a customer took a fancy to this statue and made a reservation, but later he missed the appointment and couldn't pick it up, and I couldn't get in touch. So how to deal with it, I am also very embarrassed to throw it away. It's a pity. It shouldn't be treated like this. It is estimated that it will be picked up and sent to the scrap station to be sold as scrap copper...Leave it, my store is not suitable for it to be kept. Therefore, if the little customer can Buying it away is also a matter of my mind."

Xiaoxue blinked, she was innocent but not stupid, and asked carefully: "From what you mean, it seems that you dislike this statue?"

She had vaguely felt it before, why should such a precious statue be thrown in the corner of the store entrance, and let it be dusty?

The old man didn't answer her question directly, but walked to the door and waved to her, "Little guest, come out and have a look."

Xiaoxue walked to his side and looked out.

The old man raised his finger and pointed to the wall opposite the alley. There were a few stray cats wandering there, looking over and over, as if they wanted to come, but dared not come, wanted to leave, but were reluctant to leave. Xiaoxue didn't understand why she was asked to watch this.

"I am a cat lover." He said regretfully, "This statue was given to me by one of my students. He knew that I love cats, so he worked hard to get this statue for me. .If you suspect that this statue came from a wrong place, you don't have to. It was neither stolen nor robbed."

"Oh, you are a teacher?" Xiaoxue asked. She felt that the old man had a refined style, like an old pedant,

But even the teacher, I'm afraid he retired early.

"It was a long time ago." He straightened his waist and looked into the distance, and said contentedly, "Barely, the world is full of peaches and plums."

Immediately afterwards, he laughed at himself, "Don't mention the brave man, let's talk about this statue first. My student gave the statue to me. I know the origin of the cat god statue is extraordinary, and I am very happy."

"If you like it, why sell it?" Xiaoxue was even more puzzled.

The old man also showed a puzzled look, "I love cats. When I was in Beijing, I not only raised cats myself, but I couldn't help but feed stray cats looking for food... But since I came to Binhai City, strange things have happened. It happened, no matter what food I brought out, these stray cats never dared to approach my shop. After investigation, I found that the problem was the statue of the cat god, as long as it was taken away from the shop, those stray cats I dare to come here."

Xiaoxue was fascinated by what he heard and didn't interrupt him.

"I don't believe in evil in my life, but the facts are all there, so I can't help but believe it." The old man smiled bitterly, "I can only come up with one inference, even if it's just a fake."

Hearing the words "miracle psychic", Xiaoxue felt cold behind her back, and shrank her small face into the collar of the down jacket.

The old man said: "That's why I was eager to send it away. I can't suppress it, and my small shop can't suppress it. The temple is too small to accommodate this great fairy."

Xiaoxue hesitated when she heard this. If this cat god statue is as miraculous as the old man said, maybe there will be problems when it is sent to the pet store? There are a lot of cats in the pet store, if she is frightened by the statue of the cat god...she can't bear the responsibility. But it would be a pity to just give up like this. This is an opportunity that is likely to be missed and never again.

She couldn't make up her mind, so she lazily thought of a way, and said to the old man, "I'm sorry, but I actually want to buy this statue as a gift. I want to discuss it with him before making a decision, okay?"

The old man smiled, "Guests please help yourself." After speaking, he picked up the feather duster and walked back into the shop to sweep this and that, with a leisurely demeanor.

Xiaoxue sent a message to Zhang Zian.

Xiaoxue: I'm going to live broadcast at your place in a while, okay?

Zhang Zian replied in seconds: If you can let me advertise, welcome.

Xiaoxue: "..." Sure enough, he was still the same Zhang Zian, he hadn't changed at all.

Xiaoxue: I heard that your store is about to reopen, and I have caused you troubles many times. I plan to bring some gifts there, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate...

Zhang Zian: What's inappropriate? If it's a gift, I dare to accept it! That being said, don't expect a discount from me, and don't expect a gift in return.

Xiaoxue burst out laughing.

Xiaoxue: This gift is a bit strange. The shopkeeper said it is supernatural, especially for cats, it seems to make cats panic.

Zhang Zian: Is it worth money?

Xiaoxue: ...It's worth some money.

Zhang Zian: Then I will not refuse anyone, just send it, I don't believe it can't be cured!

Xiaoxue: Alright, then I will go there with a gift in a while.

She put away her mobile phone, put aside her worries, trotted back to the store, and said to the old man, "I want to buy this cat god statue!"
