Chapter 80

Although Jiang Ping’s words were polite and humble, placing himself in a junior position and letting Wei Decheng set the price, it actually presented Wei Decheng with a difficult problem. ☆→

After all, since Jiang Ping had acknowledged himself as a junior, with Wei Decheng’s status and position, it would be embarrassing to set the price too low. Otherwise, if this were to get out, it would be said that Wei Decheng took advantage of a junior, which would be a great loss of face for him.

However, although Wei Decheng clearly understood this, he was not angry at Jiang Ping’s approach. Instead, he quite appreciated this somewhat cunning young man.

Wei Decheng felt this way partly because of Jiang Ping’s young advantage. After all, he was just an 18-year-old boy, about the same age as the young people in Wei Decheng’s family. Wei Decheng naturally saw Jiang Ping as a child and would not take things too seriously with him.

Jiang Ping, of course, knew that Wei Decheng had seen through his intentions. However, he had no intention of defending himself and just smiled shyly—since his rebirth, Jiang Ping had become increasingly adept at using his young age to his advantage.

Seeing that Jiang Ping was determined not to set a price, Wei Decheng smiled at Wu Hanqing and said, "Mr. Wu, you are an expert in this field. What price do you think is appropriate for this bracelet?"

Wu Hanqing certainly would not do such an unprofitable thing. He just smiled faintly and said, "A few years ago, I received a 45-bead Hainan rosewood bracelet, which I later sold for 8,000 yuan. However, that bracelet, in terms of patterns and oiliness, cannot compare to this one. As for how much this bracelet is worth, it’s really hard to say."

Wu Hanqing’s words were a straightforward statement of fact, and he avoided mentioning the price of the bracelet, thus avoiding offending both Wei Decheng and Jiang Ping.

Of course, Wei Decheng would not force Wu Hanqing to set a price. He pondered and said, "I have seen the bracelet Mr. Wu mentioned, and it is indeed inferior to this one in all aspects. Moreover, that was the price a few years ago, and it certainly cannot be used as a standard now. I think this bracelet... 28,000 yuan. What do you think, Jiang Ping?"

The price Wei Decheng offered was far beyond Jiang Ping’s expectations, making him inwardly sigh, "No wonder he’s a big boss, he’s really generous! Tsk tsk... It seems that sometimes acting young and cute does have its benefits!"

Of course, Jiang Ping would never reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he immediately nodded and said, "I’ll follow Mr. Wei’s suggestion. Deal!"

Wei Decheng was worried that Jiang Ping would be dissatisfied with the price and haggle with him. Seeing his straightforwardness, he was very pleased and said, "Good, you’re very straightforward, Jiang Ping. You’re a good friend, and I’ll definitely make you my friend!"

With the price settled, the rest was easy. Wei Decheng paid in cash on the spot, and Jiang Ping’s Hainan rosewood bracelet naturally became his cherished possession.

Wei Decheng was a very busy person, and it was already quite difficult for him to come in person to buy this bracelet from Jiang Ping. Now that the deal was done, he naturally would not stay long at Julongzhai. After greeting Jiang Ping and Wu Hanqing, he prepared to leave.

Just as Wei Decheng was about to leave, Jiang Ping suddenly had a premonition and focused his attention on him. Jiang Ping himself did not expect that this glance would actually reveal something. There was a green aura on Wei Decheng’s forehead.

This green aura was very obvious and occupied a large part of the forehead. Although Jiang Ping was not yet very familiar with the art of physiognomy, he could roughly judge the fortune represented by this green aura. From the depth and size of the green aura, Wei Decheng would fall ill within a month, though it would not be life-threatening, he would at least have to stay in the hospital for a while.

"Should I say it or not?" This question immediately faced Jiang Ping, and he made a decision in an instant.

"Mr. Wei, please wait a moment!" Seeing that Wei Decheng was about to leave, Jiang Ping quickly called out to him.

Wei Decheng stopped and smiled, asking, "Jiang Ping, is there something else?"

Jiang Ping nodded seriously and then said solemnly to Wei Decheng, "Mr. Wei, please listen to me. In the next month or so, you must take care of your health. If you feel any headache or fever, go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, and don’t delay!"

Jiang Ping decided to speak up for the future. When he first confirmed that he had the ability of physiognomy, he knew that this skill could not only help him and those around him avoid misfortune but was also a good way to make money.

Since he would eventually have to let others know about his ability, making a good impression on Wei Decheng was a good choice. After all, Wei Decheng seemed to be a decent person, and his social circle was of high caliber, making him a good candidate.

Wei Decheng did not expect Jiang Ping to say such things. He looked at him seriously and, seeing that the young man did not seem to be joking, frowned and asked, "Jiang Ping, what do you mean?"

Actually, Wei Decheng’s attitude was already quite good. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Ping had just sold him an excellent Hainan rosewood bracelet, he would have left in a huff. After all, no one likes to hear that they will fall ill soon, which is very inauspicious!

Although Wei Decheng’s displeasure was very obvious, Jiang Ping was not the least bit intimidated. He said sincerely, "To be honest, making bracelets is just a hobby of my elder. What he truly excels at is the art of physiognomy. I have learned from him for a few years and have a basic understanding."

Hearing this, Wei Decheng was not as angry as before and became serious, frowning and asking, "Do you mean... that from my face, I will fall seriously ill within a month?"

"Within a month at the earliest, and no later than two months," Jiang Ping said solemnly. "Although this illness will not be life-threatening, it is not a minor one like a cold. Mr. Wei, you should be careful."

Seeing Jiang Ping’s confidence, Wei Decheng did not dare to be careless and asked in a low voice, "Is there any way to avoid this?"

Now it was Jiang Ping’s turn to smile bitterly. He shook his head lightly and said, "I’m really sorry, Mr. Wei. I only learned physiognomy from my elder, and I have no way to change fate. So I can only remind you to go to the hospital as soon as you feel unwell, and early treatment should make the condition less severe."

Having said what he needed to say, Jiang Ping greeted Wei Decheng and Wu Hanqing and then left.

To be honest, if Jiang Ping had claimed he could change fate and demanded tens of thousands of yuan, Wei Decheng would not have believed him. However, by just reminding Wei Decheng to be careful and completely blocking any further profit, Jiang Ping made Wei Decheng believe him a little.

After Jiang Ping left, Wei Decheng, deep in thought, asked Wu Hanqing, "Mr. Wu, what do you think of this?"
