Chapter 446: After No. 446, you will be the new god of the Zhonghai Antique Circle.
After that little interlude, custors who originally had doubts about Elegant Pavilion had turned into staunch supporters.
Now, if anyone dared to say a single bad word about Elegant Pavilion, Tang Feng wouldn’t even need to lift a finger, as these custors would pin the detractor to the ground and give them a good rubbing.
Not only that, but these custors also started calling their friends and actively sought out business for Elegant Pavilion.
In their excitent, they inevitably embellished the story of today’s events.
One could imagine that after several retellings, Tang Feng’s performance today would beco quite exaggerated.
He might even be described as a monstrous figure with three heads and six arms.
...
But that was beyond Tang Feng’s control.
With the help of Ge Hui and others, the custors started queuing up again.
And this ti, the order was noticeably better than before.
After all, they had originally co with the mindset that “the custor is God,” and no matter how much you yelled, they might not listen.
But Tang Feng’s godlike performance had completely conquered them.
At this mont, they considered themselves fans of “Feng God,” here to support their idol.
With their mindset changed, they naturally beca much more obedient.
Looking at this magnificent scene, Tang Feng finally felt so gratification. All the effort he had put into hyping up his business had not been in vain, and today’s sales figures were sure to be impressive.
Just then, Zhong Pan’er walked over gracefully and said, “Congratulations, Boss Tang. After today’s big battle, your na will surely resonate throughout the Zhonghai Antique Circle. From now on, you’ll be known as Lao San of the Zhonghai Antique Circle.”
“Only Lao San? I’d like to know who number one and two are?” Tang Feng seed dissatisfied with being ranked third, appearing eager to challenge for the top spot.
“The undisputed Lao Da of the Zhonghai Antique Circle is, of course, Mr. Ouyang Yushan. As for Lao Er, it naturally goes to my master, Yao Guhuai. If you want to challenge my master, I can certainly deliver the ssage for you,” Zhong Pan’er said, her expression one of anticipation, as if she really wanted to witness a showdown between Tang Feng and her own master.
Tang Feng shrank a little when he heard these two nas.
Even though he had just triumphed in a big victory today, taking on eighteen senior appraisers single-handedly, and his confidence was sky-high.
But he dared not boast so boldly as to challenge those two.
Not that he lacked the ability.
With the system at his disposal, he was confident in challenging not just the best in Zhonghai, but even the best in the whole country.
But as a philosopher once said, the martial world isn’t just about fighting and killing; it’s about human feelings and worldly wisdom.
No matter how strong he was, he was still a novice in the industry.
Challenging the top figures in the antique world right after starting out might lead to a victory, but he would also be subrged by a sea of criticism.
Anyway, his reputation and popularity had already reached a peak and would likely last for a long ti.
At this point, there was absolutely no need to provoke those two lions.
Finally seeing a hint of fear on his face, Zhong Pan’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, “So you do have monts of fear? I thought you were fearless and dared to provoke anyone.”
“I may be bold, but can we drop the ‘foolish’ part?” Tang Feng wasn’t happy with her choice of words and imdiately raised an objection.
Zhong Pan’er was once again overco with laughter, “I didn’t expect you to be quite the character. Much more interesting than those stodgy old n.”
“How about considering working at my store? We’re in need of a chief appraiser,” Tang Feng seized the opportunity, extending an olive branch to her.
“Aren’t you the chief appraiser of your shop?” Zhong Pan’er asked, sowhat surprised.
“I’m the boss now, needing to take care of nurous important matters every day. It’s impossible for to personally oversee everything. Your skills are passable, and you could barely handle the role of chief appraiser. What do you think? We can talk about the benefits and compensation,” Tang Feng continued his enticent, sounding like a young scoundrel luring a virtuous woman.
“Are you serious?” Zhong Pan’er thought he was joking, but seeing the serious look on his face, she quickly stopped teasing him.
“Of course, do I not look sincere enough?” Tang Feng looked at her expectantly.
“To be honest, I’m quite flattered to receive your offer…”
When Tang Feng heard her words, he knew it was unlikely because it sounded like the prelude to a “you’re a good person, but…” rejection.
Sure enough, Zhong Pan’er continued, “But I can’t betray my master, so thank you for your kindness.”
“How can you call that betrayal? I’m not asking you to leave your sect or reveal any secrets; isn’t that a bit too serious?” Tang Feng was puzzled. How did this turn into an issue of ‘betrayal’?
Zhong Pan’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Are you really foolish or just pretending? Haven’t you realized that my master and Ouyang Yushan don’t get along?”
“Yes, I have noticed, but what about it?”
“Well, there you have it! Your close relationship with Ouyang Yushan would put in an inferior position to you if you beca my boss. That would also indirectly diminish my master’s standing in front of him. If that’s not betrayal, what is?” Zhong Pan’er explained the logic to him.
“Isn’t that just a job? Is it really that complicated?” Tang Feng found the whole thing bewildering.
“Of course, it’s complicated. You’re a prominent figure in the antique circle now, and in the future, you must be mindful of these issues. Otherwise, you could inadvertently offend soone,” Zhong Pan’er earnestly advised.
Tang Feng’s ability was not in question, but this guy was too naive about the grudges and grievances of the antique world, and it would inevitably co back to bite him.
“The waters of the jianghu are too deep for ; I’d rather not get involved. I’ll just take care of my own patch of land, and no one should bother ,” Tang Feng said, uninterested in these vendettas, before going back into the shop to help serve the custors.
Watching his retreating figure, Zhong Pan’er shook her head and sighed softly.
You’re already in the jianghu, can you really not get involved if you don’t want to?
Many things tend to be beyond one’s control.
Let’s just hope that in the future, it won’t turn into enmity.
