He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 236: A perfectly good woman, why does she have to be so beautiful? _1
 

Tang Feng drove back to Ya Garden.

He called Ge Hui out and asked him to help with the car ownership transfer procedures.

Ge Hui, having heard that Tang Feng had won a car in a street race, thought it would be at most a car worth a couple hundred thousand yuan.

But when he saw the stylish Audi R8 and the expression on Wang Yao’s face as if he had lost his parents, Ge Hui’s legs immediately went weak.

“Mr…. Mr. Tang, this… this is the car you won?”

“Yeah, is there a problem?”

Tang Feng looked at him, puzzled.

Seeing his expression, Ge Hui’s cheeks began to twitch involuntarily.

Why did it feel like he was making a big deal out of nothing?

Was winning a supercar strange?

Was it not strange?

Or was it?

His mind was becoming a bit muddled.

“You go with him to handle the transfer of ownership. I still have things to do.”

Tang Feng handed his ID to Ge Hui, then turned and walked towards the antique street.

As usual, the antique street was bustling today, with vendors setting up stalls and collectors picking through antiques.

This time, however, he didn’t need to activate the scanning system himself.

As soon as he entered the antique street, the system suddenly prompted him on its own.

“Ding! Scanned a Northern Song Dynasty Yaozhou Kiln stamped twined branch pattern large bowl… Estimated price: two hundred thousand.”

“Ding! Scanned a Qing Dynasty Qianlong period five-offering cloud dragon pattern large candlestick… Estimated price: three hundred thousand.”

“Ding! Scanned a Qing Dynasty Kangxi Blue and White Tangled Lotus Phoenix Tail Zun…”

Several notifications popped up all at once, each marking an item of considerable value.

Tang Feng followed the system’s lead and crouched in front of a vendor’s stall.

The vendor, a man in his fifties, immediately stood up respectfully, “Mr. Tang has come? Please take a seat and look at your leisure.”

He even brought over a peach wood chair.

Tang Feng had no choice but to sit down and began to search among the pile of antiques.

He quickly located the Yaozhou Kiln stamped large bowl that the system had hinted at.

The bowl had a diameter of about twenty centimeters and was a light blue throughout, looking very exquisite.

He didn’t directly inquire about the price of the large bowl but randomly picked a regular ceramic cup instead.

“Master, how much for this ceramic cup?”

“Two… thirty thousand.”

The vendor had initially thought to say two thousand, but instead changed his mind at the last moment, raising the price more than tenfold.

Tang Feng was taken aback.

The ceramic cup was worth, at most, a couple thousand yuan; the vendor was clearly quoting prices blindly.

“Master, are you serious about doing business? Can you give me a fair price?”

“Heh heh, who on the entire antique street doesn’t know of Mr. Tang’s discerning eye? Anything you set your sights on is bound to be of value,” the vendor said with a shrewd look on his face as he carefully examined the ceramic cup.

Tang Feng was left utterly speechless.

This was the side effect of fame.

Now, everyone on the antique street knew that he had beaten Qi Maocai’s two apprentices, and even won against Xue Yingjie, the leading talent amongst the young in the antique street. He was also about to become the chief appraiser of Ya Garden.

All these achievements were too dazzling.

Now if he were to casually point at a piece and say “this piece is priceless”, fear was there would be many who would believe him.

Although this might satisfy his vanity to some extent, the consequences were beyond his expectations.

How was he supposed to find bargains in the future?

He left the stall in frustration and casually tested a few others.

The result he got once again confirmed his guess.

No matter what items he picked, the stall owners would ask for sky-high prices, giving him no chance to snatch a bargain.

Even many fellow antique enthusiasts came over to drive up the prices.

As soon as he asked about the price of an antique, it would soon be raised to an absurd level.

Oh heavens, are you playing with me?

Indeed, people dread fame as pigs fear fattening.

He looked disconsolately at the bustling antique street and felt it no longer belonged to him.

Here, he could hardly move an inch.

Surrounded by so many treasures, yet only able to salivate over them—that feeling was almost too painful to bear.

While he was pondering his next move, his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw it was a call from Jiang Zi.

“Hello, Squad Leader, what’s up?” He answered the phone, trying to keep his tone light and free of any negative emotion.

“Tang Feng, I got promoted,” Jiang Zi’s joy was evident in her voice.

“You gave birth? Congratulations, congratulations. Boy or girl?” Tang Feng deliberately misinterpreted her words.

“Cut it out, I’m talking about a job promotion. I’ve become a manager,” Jiang Zi’s tone held a trace of playful coquetry, as if she were flirting with a boyfriend.

“You scared me; I thought I was about to become a dad.”

“Can’t you be serious for once?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll be serious. Why did you call me? It’s not because you just got promoted and now you want to rope me into some business, is it?”

“No, I just wanted to ask if you’re free tonight? I’d like to treat you to dinner.”

“Just dinner?”

“Yeah, what else?”

“No other plans? Don’t want a double harvest in career and love?”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore, hanging up.”

“Wait a second,” Tang Feng suddenly had an epiphany and quickly called out to her, “do you have time right now?”

“Right now? I’m still at work. What’s up?”

“I’ve run into a bit of trouble here and could use your help.”

“What kind of trouble?”

“You’ll know when you get here, hurry up.”

After hanging up, Tang Feng swept his eyes over the group of stall owners with ill intent,

he was simply a genius to have thought up such a brilliant idea.

Mwahahaha, foolish humans, just wait to be harvested.

And wait he did, for a good half an hour.

Just as he was about to succumb to the heat, he finally saw Jiang Zi hurrying over.

She was still wearing a black professional OL (office lady) suit, the skirt reaching just above her knees, her slender, shapely legs wrapped in black tights.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

All eyes on the antique street were instantly drawn to her.

Most people who come to the antique street are a bunch of old men; it’s rare to see even a less attractive woman.

The sudden appearance of such a ravishing beauty made it impossible not to draw attention.

Tang Feng suddenly realized he had made a basic mistake.

He had forgotten that Jiang Zi was a great beauty.

It’s difficult for such a beautiful woman not to catch people’s attention when buying antiques.

Alas, such a lovely woman, why did she have to be so beautiful?
