Back home, he didn't care about anything else. He locked the main door and went to his room. As soon as the door was locked, he let out a sigh of relief, his breath coming in ragged gasps like a bellows.
He looked at his pocket, but his hand couldn't reach in. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally managed to get it in and carefully took it out, placing it on the table.
Under the lamplight, it gleamed with a dazzling golden light. Li Haochen had long since fallen into this golden abyss and couldn't extricate himself.
After searching for a while, he finally found the words "Lao Feng Xiang" at the junction, with the numbers "9999" next to them.
"It shouldn't be a fake from Taobao, right?"
He picked up the gold chain, wiped it on his clothes, and then bit it with his teeth. When he looked, a large tooth mark appeared before his eyes. "Heh heh, it should be real. With this weight, it's at least 1000 grams."
"How much is gold recycling now?" If there's a problem, ask Baidu, and you'll never go wrong. He opened it and saw, "Holy cow, the gold price is almost 500 per gram?"
He looked at the recycling price again, 358 per gram, which was very good. If this big gold chain were sold, it would be at least 350,000.
Li Haochen held the big gold chain, not knowing whether to go or stay. He looked at the time again. "It's only nine o'clock. The mall hasn't closed yet. Should I sell it?"
Li Haochen paced back and forth in the room. After several minutes, he secretly made up his mind. "Let's go to Binhai Plaza. I hope it's not a fake from Taobao."
He found a small bag, wrapped it in paper towels two layers thick, put it in his shoulder bag, and checked the zipper several times before feeling relieved.
If his clothes weren't so dirty, Li Haochen would have left immediately. But he had no choice, so he quickly took a bath, changed into a Prada outfit, and looked in the mirror. "This attire is still good. They shouldn't mistake me for a thief when I sell the gold chain later."
As he left the yard, he saw that the fish in the plastic bucket were still alive. After thinking for a moment, he carried them into the spatial ocean to reproduce.
He drove cautiously, looking left and right, afraid that some robbers would jump out and hit him with a club. Fortunately, he arrived safely at his destination without any incidents.
He arrived at Binhai Plaza, quickly found a parking spot, and hurried to his destination, Lao Feng Xiang.
When he reached the entrance, he became a little scared. "Could this big gold chain belong to some influential figure? What if they find me by tracing it back to Lao Feng Xiang? Wouldn't that be the end of me?"
As he thought about it, he felt this possibility more strongly and quickly turned towards the neighboring Chow Tai Fook.
As soon as he entered, the light was very bright, almost blinding. Li Haochen, in his Prada outfit, felt like a lamb entering a wolf's den, and the saleswomen's gazes made him feel uneasy.
Perhaps it was store policy, but only the tall, slender beauty at the entrance approached him and asked, "Handsome, is there anything I can help you with?"
Her voice was very pleasant, and Li Haochen was a little stunned. Why was it that in every shop he went to, the voices of the beautiful saleswomen were almost the same?
As for her figure, Li Haochen glanced at it briefly and then withdrew his gaze. Her chest was flat, nothing to see.
"Cough, cough, beautiful lady, do you recycle gold jewelry?"
The saleswoman still wore a professional smile. "Yes, handsome, please follow me."
Li Haochen took out the large gold chain and handed it to the beautiful woman, feeling a little nervous. If it turned out to be fake, he wouldn't know where to put his face.
"Handsome, did you bring the receipt?"
"The… receipt? Uh, sorry, I didn't know about that. My family gave it to me as a gift, saying it would give me face when I went out to do business. I thought it looked too unsightly, so I decided to sell it." Li Haochen made up an excuse without batting an eye.
The beautiful woman looked at Li Haochen very seriously. The Prada outfit worth tens of thousands of dollars made her believe him. In fact, it didn't matter if he had it or not. According to the unwritten rules of the gold industry, they would still buy it, albeit at a slightly lower price.
"I see. Then the price might be a little lower."
"Oh, then how much per gram?" Li Haochen was inwardly calculating. If the difference wasn't too big, he would sell it.
"The recycling price today is 358 per gram, but since you don't have a receipt, handsome, we can only offer 338 per gram. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Li Haochen found no significant difference and agreed immediately. "Okay, I'll sell it."
The saleswoman's eyes lit up. She estimated the large gold chain to be over 1000 grams. Completing this transaction would earn her at least 3,000 in commission.
"Handsome, please take a look. The gold weighs 1183.5 grams." The saleswoman turned the precision electronic scale towards him. Li Haochen glanced at it and nodded, feeling it was acceptable.
1183.5 x 338 = 400023. The saleswoman quickly tapped on the calculator, and after signing, the money and goods were exchanged.
Not long after, Li Haochen received a transfer message on his bank card. When he came out, he also had a private business card in his hand.
He quickened his pace, found a secluded corner, and casually threw the business card into the trash can. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching and then shouted a few times with a clenched fist.
A young woman passing by was startled and, muttering "crazy," quickly ran into the mall.
Having earned a large sum of unexpected wealth, Li Haochen's smile was indescribable, like a dog seeing a bone, drooling almost uncontrollably.
With his wallet full, his back felt as sturdy as steel. His steps were powerful, exuding an undeniable aura. Li Haochen swaggered with his "turtle-like" gait, swaying left and right, and headed towards "Yipin Stewed Soup."
"Wife..."
"Pfft..."
Murong Yanran was startled by Li Haochen's "turtle-like" gait and let out a "pfft," spraying out a mouthful. Fortunately, she wasn't drinking water, or she would have had to clean up again.
"Haochen, did you find gold?"
Li Haochen was greatly surprised. He looked left and right and then leaned close to Murong Yanran's ear. "H-how did you know?"
"What are you talking about? You look like you've found gold. What happy event has happened?"
"Is it that obvious?" Li Haochen asked, looking at the others.
"It's not just obvious, it's very obvious. You're as happy as Xiao Hua from my village, hahaha!" Liu Zijun laughed heartily.
"Who is Xiao Hua?"
"Erlang Shen's mount!"
"Pfft, hahahaha..."
The seven girls laughed so hard that tears streamed from their eyes, their bodies shaking with mirth.
"Tch, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bicker with you girls. Is there any more food? I'm a bit hungry." Li Haochen said, patting his rumbling stomach.
"Here, this is all that's left." Liu Zijun took out a plate of steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms and placed it in front of Li Haochen.
Li Haochen didn't bother with his image and grabbed his chopsticks, devouring the food. "%#..."
"What are you saying? Eat slowly!" Murong Yanran walked over and helped Li Haochen by patting his back.
Li Haochen swallowed a mouthful of food like he was swallowing a whole date and grabbed the empty cup on the table. "Could you pour me a cup of tea, please?"
"Gulp, gulp... Ah~ that feels good."
After taking a big gulp of hot tea, Li Haochen leaned back comfortably in his chair. "By the way, how was business tonight?"
Murong Yanran smiled like a crescent moon. "Guess, hehe!"
