Chapter 427: 【427】Looking for trouble? I’ve been wanting that_1
Zhong Pan’er ticulously dressed herself early in the morning and after breakfast, she drove leisurely towards Elegant Pavilion.
It was just after seven o’clock, and she thought she would be the first to arrive.
But when she got to the Elegant Pavilion, the scene in front of her was a shock.
A long queue snaked for hundreds of ters and looked extrely impressive.
The traffic in front of Elegant Pavilion was paralyzed, and it was difficult even to walk, let alone drive.
And within a few hundred ters radius with Elegant Pavilion as the center, the area was filled with parked cars, not leaving a single space open.
...
She searched for quite a while before finally finding a parking spot nearly a kiloter away from Elegant Pavilion. Then she walked there.
“Oh my God, is this really an antique shop? It looks more like a pop star’s concert,” she exclaid.
She suddenly beca very curious, who on earth was the owner of this shop?
How could they stir up such fervor for an antique shop?
Just as she reached the middle of the crowd, she heard a familiar voice commanding.
“No one cut in line, anyone who dares to ss with the queue is imdiately disqualified from purchasing!”
The statent was quite arrogant.
Usually, antique shops would fawn over custors in a subdued manner, but who would be so bold as to boss them around?
Even going as far as to threaten custors with disqualification from purchasing.
This would be unimaginable in other antique shops.
But this wasn’t the focus of Zhong Pan’er’s attention; what she was more concerned about was, why did this voice sound so familiar?
She quickly searched through the crowd, and soon found the source of the voice, then gasped in surprise.
The person bustling through the crowd, wasn’t he the man who had defeated her at the Appraiser competition?
His face had been swirling in her mind, impossible to ignore, almost becoming her nightmare.
She never imagined that this suddenly famous antique shop would be his.
Although it was unexpected, she quickly accepted the fact.
Actually, she should have thought of it earlier.
Who else but this newcor could cause such a stir in the stagnant antique circle?
This guy was too troubleso, always making big news.
“Excuse , coming through,” she said hastily, pushing through the crowd to get in front of Tang Feng.
“Didn’t you hear just now? No cutting in line, go back and queue up…”
Tang Feng, already frustrated by the chaotic crowd, didn’t see who it was and scolded without pleasure.
“Mr. Tang, you seem to have gotten quite the temper since I last saw you,” Zhong Pan’er said with her arms crossed and a smile in her eyes.
It was only then Tang Feng recognized it was her, and he looked sowhat taken aback, “What are you doing here?”
“Why can’t I be here? The noise you’ve made this ti is so big, I’m guessing you’ve attracted nearly half of Zhonghai Antique Circle, haven’t you?” Zhong Pan’er couldn’t help but tease.
Tang Feng suddenly felt a headache coming on, “I didn’t expect the impact of a show to be this huge, I wouldn’t have participated if I knew.”
“If other antique shop owners heard that, they might die of anger, complaining about too many custors?” Zhong Pan’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes, thinking that he was getting too cocky.
“Hey, you there, go back and line up or you’ll lose your purchasing rights,” Tang Feng shouted at a custor who was trying to cut in line, then he turned back to Zhong Pan’er. “You didn’t co all the way just to argue with , did you?”
Zhong Pan’er pouted, “I’m not so free and carefree, and I didn’t know this antique shop was yours before I ca. I mainly wanted to see who was so bold as to guarantee a hundred percent authenticity.”
“Well, now you’ve seen it. What do you think?” he asked.
“If it were anyone else, I would think they were bluffing. But if it’s you, I’m not surprised at all,” she replied.
“You believe in my abilities that much?” Tang Feng asked, surprised that he held such high esteem in her eyes.
“I believe in my abilities. A person who can defeat certainly has the right to make such guarantees,” Zhong Pan’er said, maintaining her proud deanor.
“I’ll take that as a complint,” Tang Feng said with an awkward smile.
“Though I believe in your abilities, others might not. And this action of yours is like smashing other people’s rice bowls. You should be prepared for a lot of people to co and make a scene today,” Zhong Pan’er kindly reminded him.
“Make a scene? I can hardly wait for that. The more who co, the better, it’s all just adding heat to my Elegant Pavilion,” Tang Feng spoke with a strong sense of confidence emanating from him.
“Aren’t you worried at all? You’re making enemies with the entire industry,” Zhong Pan’er remarked with so disapproval.
“Of course, I’m worried that my antique shop will be too popular and I won’t have enough inventory to et demand,” he answered.
“You’re being a bit Versailles about it,” she said, rolling her eyes again.
Other antique shops worried about having too much inventory and not being able to clear it.
But Tang Feng worried about not having enough to supply.
It seems that each household has its own set of difficulties.
As they were chatting, they saw a group of people with a nacing air heading this way from a distance.
These people appeared to be quite old, the youngest in their fifties, and the oldest with hair as white as snow, needing assistance to walk.
“Speak of the devil and he shall appear. I don’t want to be implicated by you, let’s pretend we don’t know each other,” Zhong Pan’er suggested, swiftly disappearing into the crowd to avoid being associated with Tang Feng.
Qin Yanan had anticipated trouble from industry peers and had already contacted a security firm. More than a dozen guards had been dispatched to prevent conflicts.
“Zhao Quande, you guys at Elegant Pavilion are really pushing it, aren’t you?” Zhao Quande was the first one to confront them, glaring at Qin Yanan with irritation.
The custors in line also turned their attention to the commotion out of curiosity.
Qin Yanan still wore a charming smile, “Mr. Zhao, what seems to be the problem?”
