"Don't be anxious first, well, I probably understand what you mean." The middle-aged woman looked at the fat boss with inquiring eyes, turned her head, and looked at me apologetically: "But I'm really sorry, we didn't know in advance that the jar is so important to you. Well, before you came to Cizhou Kiln yesterday, a customer had already bought the Yuan blue and white jar. Oh, I won't hide it from you now. After he went to the store for a few times, he fell in love with the jar. My wife told him that the jar would not be sold and someone ordered it, but he just refused and insisted on buying it. Oh, in the end, there was no way, so we sold the jar and then quickly asked an acquaintance to buy it at the original place and came back almost exactly the same."

"I obviously ordered it first! And I gave it to you all the deposit?" When I heard that the things were gone, my face changed suddenly. I understood that the man must have bid much higher than me, otherwise the fat boss would not have taken the risk of selling him.

"I can't get that jar back. Do you think this is OK?" The fat boss slowed down and said: "I will return the 60,000 yuan to you. I will make up for it. Well, your deposit is 1,000 yuan, and I will give you another 2,000 yuan. Even if this matter ends here, okay?"

My face turned red: "How can it be that simple? You are called "untrustless!"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, this time we are wrong, we apologize to you, but the matter is already like this. We have to discuss a solution, right? Well, why don't you give you more than three thousand?"

"You give me 30,000 more now, and it's useless!" I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and calm down. I gritted my teeth and said, "I won't take you more money. Just tell me who that person is and where you live."

The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly: "The key is that we don't know him either. That person is very jealous. It must be the first time I have come to my house."

"There must be some clues?"

The fat boss pretended to sleep and didn't say anything, probably because he was afraid that I would find the man to tell him that the Yuan blue and white jar was not worth that much money at all?

Compared to him, the middle-aged woman had a better attitude. She observed her husband's face and sighed: "The accent should be from Shanxi. She looks like she is in her early thirties, has a melon-shaped face and small eyes. I don't remember the others clearly."

After getting back my 60,000 yuan, I walked out of the store angrily. Before leaving the threshold, I stopped and said, "If I can't find that person, we will not finish this matter!" I have to admit that this time I was too careless and believed in the experience of my previous life. I thought that even the Yuan blue and white jars would never run away before Mr. Bai's son brought the reporter to Liulichang for a while, but I forgot one thing. I was the only variable in the world this year ago. Naturally, many history will change because of me, just like Zou Yue'e. She would not have lived in my courtyard, and would not have any interaction with me.

Damn butterfly effect!

In the vast city of Beijing, where to find a man with a Shanxi accent?

At this time, I didn't dare to think about the consequences of not being able to get the Yuan blue and white jar. I felt a mess in my heart. I asked door to door like a headless fly in the store in Liulichang, "Hello, did you come here yesterday? He may be holding a Yuan blue and white jar, in his thirties, oh, no, thank you." I said this sentence over and over again. It was only when it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon that I found out a few clues that were not useful or not.

Among them, a boss selling calligraphy and paintings told me that a Shanxi man who runs a barber shop had the habit of visiting Liulichang when his business was in sluggish in the morning. He was in his thirties, which was almost the same as what I described. I couldn't control it. After calling home and informed him, he hurriedly took a taxi to Guozi Lane, turned into a narrow alley, and finally found what the boss said about the hair salon, and pushed open the dirty door. I glanced at this small shop less than ten square meters and said straight to a man who was cutting the hair of the customer: "Is it Mr. Li? Well, did you buy a Yuan blue and white jar from Liulichang yesterday?"

The man said suspiciously: "No, what's wrong?"

I was afraid that he would hide it and not tell the truth, so I said, "You were fooled. It was a Yuan blue and white imitation, worth at most 50,000 yuan."

"I was fooled? I haven't bought any fools?" The man stopped the thin scissors in his hand. "Besides, how much money do you think I can get when I open a small business? How could I spend 50,000 yuan to buy a jar? I often go to Liulichang, but I just look at it and enjoy the pleasure."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, I apologized and rushed to the next location.

In one night, I searched three or four places, either I couldn't find anyone or the other party had never bought Yuan blue and white. I returned home like a walking corpse, plunged into the quilt, staring at the light with my eyes blank, and remained silent for a long time. The phone in my pocket was still ringing, and I knew it was Mr. Peng who called it without looking. This was the fifth and sixth call he had ever made. But I didn't answer because I didn't know how to speak to him.

Tell him that the Yuan blue and white bottom foot cannot be found?

Tell him not to promote Yuan Blue and White Flowers?

Lying on the bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep until the phone rang again in the middle of the night. After I hesitated, I finally pressed the answer button: "...hello?"

"Why just answer the phone now?" Mr. Peng's voice was filled with a complaining tone: "Have you got the bottom? The restoration experts here are waiting for you. The auction manager called me just now and asked me to urge me. Oh, Gu Jing, don't tell you that you can't get it. The advertisements here have been spread all over the place. If you can't see Yuan blue and white at the auction, what reputation will the company have? You will have no reputation in the circle in the future!"

The higher you stand, the harder you fall.

Almost half of the collection industry knows that Yuan blue and white porcelain will be auctioned in Hanhai. If you can't see anything at that time, the negative impact of this matter will be too great. I guess Mr. Peng may be implicated and lose his job.

I was silent for a moment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I..."

"I can't find it?"

"……Um."

"No hope at all?"

"……Um."

Then, neither of us said anything, and just listened to each other's breathing from the phone. After about a little more than a minute, Mr. Peng sighed heavily: "It's over this, and it's useless to say anything. I will report the situation to the person in charge and the company leader. You, alas, you can prepare a penalty for liquidated damages in the past two days."

When signing the contract, I was full of confidence and had never considered the issue of breach of contract.

When I opened the cabinet door of the desk, I took out a thick dozen A4 paper from it and flipped it page by page.

Finally, I saw an explanation about liquidated damages on the page at the back of the middle.

And the number behind... is 500,000 yuan!
