Chapter 5
Not long after, Jiang Cheng walked out of Wanbao Pavilion, a smile on his handsome face.
One day!
Just one day!
Including the one hundred thousand yuan that Zhang Xingrui lost to him, he had made nearly four hundred ninety thousand in total, and he had hardly spent any cost.
This is the charm of picking up leaks in antiques.
It’s also one of the reasons why so many people are obsessed with antiques. They fantasize about getting rich by picking up leaks, even becoming rich overnight and achieving financial freedom.
However, these leaks are not so easy to find. The vast majority of people eventually end up losing their money, or even being scammed to the point of losing everything.
But Jiang Cheng is different. With the unique ability of his left eye, he really saw the hope of becoming rich in the antique business, even making a hundred million within three years!
Thinking of that bright and charming smile, Jiang Cheng clenched his fist and silently encouraged himself: “I can definitely do it!”
…
Soon, Jiang Cheng returned to Nabao Pavilion.
He found two girls with backpacks standing at the door, dressed modestly, with their heads lowered, making it hard to see their faces.
Jiang Cheng walked over and asked, “Are you here for something?”
The older girl lifted her head, revealing her face. She had a pair of bright apricot eyes, a well-defined nose, a gentle lip line, and a delicate oval face, making her quite a beautiful woman. Her skin was so fair it seemed to glow.
Her figure was also very good. She wore a simple white long-sleeve top, and her bust was slightly more pronounced than Qi Linlin’s. Below, her long legs were wrapped in tight jeans, straight but not skinny, with a bit of fleshiness, and quite curvaceous. Her hips were rounded and perky, making her curves striking.
This girl, in old terms, could be described as a good catch, and definitely wouldn’t leave her future children hungry, not to mention their father.
“I, I want to apply for a job.” The woman pointed to the recruitment notice Jiang Cheng had just posted at the door, speaking timidly.
Here to apply for a job?
Jiang Cheng examined her closely. The clothes she wore were all from street vendors, worth less than a hundred yuan in total. Judging by the wear on her shoes, she had probably just come from the countryside to work.
“Come in and let’s talk.” Jiang Cheng opened the door and let the two girls sit in the shop’s lobby.
After getting glasses of water for the girls, Jiang Cheng sat down and said directly, “The salary here won’t be very high. It might be less than what you’d get in a factory.” He was subtly rejecting her.
The reason for the rejection was simple. The girl applying was too young and quite pretty. Such people usually have many opportunities and might not stay long in the shop.
“Salary, it doesn’t need to be too high. Just provide food and accommodation, and that will be fine,” the older girl said, lowering her head and holding the water cup with both hands, speaking softly.
Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback and said, “Two thousand five hundred a month, would that be acceptable?” He was intentionally quoting a lower figure.
The girl hesitated and said, “Yes, that’s fine.”
Jiang Cheng was a bit surprised, “Miss, to be honest, you can easily find a factory nearby that pays four to five thousand a month. Why come to work here?”
Jiang Cheng was skeptical. The girl talking to him was attractive and young. There should be better opportunities for her than working in his rundown shop.
Could it be that Zhang Xingrui was setting him up?
But no, it shouldn’t be possible. Zhang Xingrui wouldn’t have set up such a fast trap.
“Boss, I’ll be honest with you. My sister and I have been out of our hometown for half a month. Initially, we went to work in a factory, but… but…”
“But what?”
“But the factory manager wanted me to sleep with me and also tried to get me drunk… so I ran away with my sister. We’ve spent all our money and are truly at the end of our rope.”
As the girl spoke, her eyes reddened. She stood up and bowed to Jiang Cheng, saying, “Boss, please take us in. I’m willing to learn anything, and I’m sure I can do this job well.”
Jiang Cheng saw that she didn’t seem to be lying but continued to ask, “Then why did you leave home? I see your sister is quite young. Isn’t she supposed to be in school?”
“My father passed away six months ago. Relatives at home wanted to marry us off to eliminate the family line. In the village, a local bully tried to assault me, and my sister injured him with a hoe. So, we fled overnight and can’t go back.”
Jiang Cheng fell silent upon hearing this. A beautiful woman is a good card, but it can’t stand alone; it also needs a reasonably normal family and good living conditions. In the case of this girl’s background, it became a bad card. Her beauty had brought her danger.
Seeing the girl’s red eyes and her younger sister, who was even smaller and looking pitiful, Jiang Cheng felt some sympathy.
However, he remained rational and asked, “How can you prove that what you’re saying is true?”
The girl thought for a moment, took out several items from her backpack: “Boss, these are our IDs, my father’s death certificate, and my previous work ID from the factory.”
Jiang Cheng took them and checked, learning the sisters’ names and ages.
The older sister is Chen Wenhui, twenty years old this year, and the younger sister is Chen Wenxin, only sixteen years old.
It shouldn’t be a setup.
Jiang Cheng thought to himself. After all, he had few enemies, and the only person who could set him up was Zhang Xingrui. But Zhang Xingrui had previously not taken him seriously, so it wouldn’t be possible for him to set up such a trap so quickly.
Moreover, even if Zhang Xingrui did set up a trap, it would most likely be related to antiques, not something like this beautiful woman trap.
“Chen Wenhui, right?” Jiang Cheng looked up again.
“Yes.” Chen Wenhui responded nervously, looking at Jiang Cheng with hopeful apricot eyes.
“This is an antique shop. Although I don’t have high demands for my staff, you will still need to learn some basic antique knowledge. There will be a one-week probation period. If I’m not satisfied or you don’t like the job, you can leave at any time.” Jiang Cheng, in the end, softened.
Of course, he wasn’t just being sentimental. Besides feeling sorry for the sisters, Chen Wenhui’s beauty was also a factor.
Although Jiang Cheng had no particular intentions, having such a pretty face in the shop might also be nice. It might even attract some customers.
“Thank you, Boss. Thank you, Boss.” Chen Wenhui immediately understood Jiang Cheng’s meaning. She and her sister bowed repeatedly and said, “I will definitely work hard and learn. You can rest assured, Boss.”
Jiang Cheng nodded, stood up, and led the two sisters to the small courtyard behind the shop.
Nabao Pavilion occupied a considerable area. The front was used as a shop, and the back had a small courtyard where people could live, including a kitchen, a bathroom, and two rooms, one large and one small.
Jiang Cheng took the sisters to the outside of the small room and said, “You can stay here. Since your sister is still underage, I can’t hire her, but she can stay here.”
“Yes, thank you, Boss.” Chen Wenhui was very grateful.
“Okay, there are quilts and other necessities inside. You can tidy up. I have some things to do, so I’ll step out for a while.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t say much more and turned to leave. He had some matters to confirm.
After Jiang Cheng left, Chen Wenhui took her sister into the room. The facilities inside were complete but a bit old, yet it was quite good for them.
Chen Wenhui quietly locked the door and sat down on the edge of the bed with her sister, then took out the scissors she had hidden in her sleeve.
“Big sister, do you think this boss is a good person?” Chen Wenxin asked nervously and fearfully, still haunted by their previous experiences.
Chen Wenhui hesitated for a moment and said, “He should be a good person. His gaze at me was different from those other people, and also…”
“And what?”
“And he mentioned a one-week probation period. If I’m not satisfied, I can leave anytime, which is probably to make us feel more at ease.”
Chen Wenxin was taken aback and said, “So it seems, this boss is quite good.”
After a pause, she hesitated and asked softly, “Big sister, if the boss is a good person, should we show him the thing that dad left behind?”
