Chapter 1: Let me go!

  "How dare you mention the law?"

  "Others may not know, but do I? I work on Antique Street, and the ritual objects must be antiques. This one is a recent fake, from Old Zhang's porcelain shop, 20 yuan each, what a crappy ritual object!"

  "I..."

  The man heard this and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Wang Ke in shock, stuttering and unable to speak.

  How did he know I bought it from Old Zhang's porcelain shop?

  Is he really working on Antique Street?

  Damn it! Why is my luck so bad?!

  The people around finally understood what was going on, it turned out to be a scam!

  The people around couldn't help but glare at the man in anger, how could this scum cheat an old man who collected scraps and earned his hard-earned money through blood and sweat!

  "That's it! Please help me call the police."

  Wang Ke turned his head and said to the people around him

  Upon hearing this, many people finally remembered to call the police and took out their mobile phones to make a report.

  The man saw that things were not going well, so he scrambled to his feet and took off in a sprint. However, after only a few steps, he felt an enormous force coming from behind him, which sent him tumbling heavily to the ground. Struggling to get up but unable to do so, all he could do was glare viciously at Wang Ke, who had kicked him down, his eyes clearly warning that Wang Ke would have to wait for him.

  "This is for Grandpa to repay you."

  Wang Ke didn't evade the man's gaze at all, and was kicked by him. The man couldn't take care of himself for a short time. Even if he retaliated, Wang Ke wasn't afraid!

  A few minutes later, the police car arrived. Wang Ke saw that things had come to an end and the old man had returned to normal and understood what was going on. Taking advantage of the fact that no one around him noticed, he quickly slipped away and left.

  "Hey, where's that young person from just now? Why are they gone?"

  "Yes, how did it suddenly disappear? Young people are really great, heroes!"

  ……

  It wasn't until a minute later that people around realized Wang Ke was gone and couldn't help but search everywhere.

  After being persuaded by everyone, the old man also returned to normal and finally understood what was going on. He couldn't help but wipe away his blurry tears with his rough hands, muttering this one sentence over and over again.

  "Thank you, thank you kind person..."

  ……

  Escaping from the crowd's line of sight, Wang Ke immediately filled his feet with true energy, and his body flashed like lightning, rushing towards Antique Street.

  As soon as he entered the antique street, he dispersed the true energy under his feet. He didn't want others to see his ghostly figure. Just about to rush to his workplace, his eyes suddenly stung and his vision went black.

  It's an aftereffect again!

  Wang Ke hastily closed his eyes and thought helplessly.

  Yesterday, when he broke through, he planned to make a concerted effort to open the Baihui acupoint of the fourth heaven of Longxiang. As a result, his true energy couldn't rise and all gathered around his eyes, scaring him into hastily withdrawing his true energy, but it was too late. The intense pain around his eyes caused him to faint.

  After waking up, he checked his eyes and found no major problems, just occasional stinging pain. Until now, he still didn't understand what happened around his eyes after he fainted yesterday.

  At this time, the conversation between two people passing by on the side entered Wang Ke's ears.

  "Have you heard? Someone picked up a bargain! A hundred yuan for a lawnmower, and someone is now offering one million yuan to buy it!"

  "Really? Where? How come I always miss out on such good things?"

  "It's right in front of Sanbao Xuan."

  "Go and take a look quickly, hurry up!"

  ……

  Wang Ke looked at the two people's frantic expressions and couldn't help but sigh.

  Collecting antiques and artifacts, picking up bargains is always the most attractive, everyone wants to make a fortune overnight.

  The value of Feng Shui artifacts is even higher than that of antiques. Not only do you need knowledge of antiques to find them, but also knowledge of Feng Shui artifacts. Placing Feng Shui artifacts in your home can change a person's luck, making them more valuable and crazier than antiques. However, ordinary people find it difficult to identify Feng Shui artifacts, and even those who are good at playing with antiques may not be able to recognize one.

  It's just knowing these two points that the scammer from earlier used a prop to stage an accident.

  However, all of these have nothing to do with Wang Ke, who is now thinking about how to deal with his boss.

  This is his tenth time being late this month. The boss had already given him a stern warning yesterday, saying that if he was late again today, he would be fired. And now, because of what just happened, he's going to be late again.

  But he didn't regret it, even if he was late, he would still have taken action earlier.

  As soon as Wang Ke arrived at the entrance of Jibao Hall, he saw the owner Zhou Guisheng, who was over 40 years old and had a nickname "Zhou Bapi" in private. He stood there with a serious face, as if waiting for him to arrive. Next to him was a young man wearing their store's uniform, fawningly holding tea water for Zhou Guisheng.

  Seeing the young man, Wang Ke was taken aback.

  Isn't this Sun Ming who competed with him in this store half a year ago and was eliminated because of his appearance?

  How did he come? And even put on the store's work uniform?

  With a puzzled mind, Wang Ke forced himself to walk up and think about how to resolve today's situation.

  Zhou Guisheng glanced at Wang Ke with a faint gaze, as if he hadn't seen him for a long time, and said: "Oh? Isn't this Wang Ke? How did you come here?"

  There is always a hint of irony in words.

  "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm late again, but today it's absolutely due to unforeseen circumstances, I..."

  Wang Ke hastily explained, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Guisheng's raised hand.

  "So you knew you were late, huh? I thought you considered our little shop to be open at 8 pm. I clearly remember saying yesterday that if someone was late again, they didn't need to come back. And isn't it true that someone nodded in agreement? How did you forget today?"

  Zhou Guisheng gazed at the distant mountains, without even looking at Wang Ke, and spoke in a gloomy tone.

  Wang Ke's temper was good, but hearing such words also made him furious. He was late, which was his fault, but it wasn't that serious, was it?

  He was late for a reason, a month ago he felt like he was going to break through after that, his mental and memory power suddenly weakened without warning, until finally he couldn't even remember what he was doing. This month he's been completely like an idiot, doing stupid things nonstop.

  But just yesterday, at the moment of breakthrough, he suddenly had a feeling of electric shock all over his body. His previously dull brain suddenly cleared up, as if he had just woken up from a big dream. The events before seemed to replay in his mind like a movie scene.

  His spiritual power and memory increased exponentially, his true energy surged throughout his body, and he fully recovered to normal. Of course, his eyes were an exception.

  He originally wanted to explain today, but seeing Zhou Guisheng's appearance, he didn't bother to explain either. Explaining would only lead to self-ridicule.

  However, he still wanted to make one last effort, after all, this was his only formal job in two years since dropping out of high school.

  "Boss, just give me one more chance."

  "Do you want me to give you a chance to ruin my precious antique? Or do I give you a chance to get paid for nothing? You're quite good at daydreaming, this great god, the small shop can't afford it, hurry up and settle the account for this month, get out!"

  Zhou Guisheng coldly smiled as he looked at Wang Ke.

  "Boss, don't get angry, have a cup of tea and calm down. This kind of person isn't worth your trouble."

  Sun Ming hastily presented tea, and Zhou Guisheng took it with satisfaction, taking a sip. Meanwhile, Sun Ming gave Wang Ke a triumphant smile.

  Seeing this, Wang felt a surge of disgust and contempt for this man who looked like a slave.

  "This is what I call a good friend!"

  Zhou Guisheng pointed at Sun Ming and said to Wang Ke: "I really regret not choosing him instead of you back then, if I had, the business of Jibao Hall would have been booming half a year ago. But it's not too late now, the person who should leave has left, and the one who should come has arrived. I declare, from the day you were fired, Little Sun officially becomes the only partner of this store!"

  Upon hearing this, Sun Ming puffed out his chest proudly in front of Wang Ke, with an air of "I'm better than you".

  Seeing Zhou Guisheng and Sun Ming's disgusting appearance of one singing and the other harmonizing, Wang Ke really wanted to give them a punch each, to help them re-recognize their own lives.

  The boss who peels off his skin has met a scumbag of the highest quality, and it's also a perfect match.

  Seeing Wang Ke's lack of reaction, Zhou Guisheng felt as if he had been humiliated and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger. He coldly snorted and said: "Come in and settle the bill, then get out!"

  Having said that, she turned around and entered the Treasure Hall, not wanting to look at Wang Ke again.

  Sun Ming didn't immediately follow Zhou Guisheng in, but instead smiled complacently at Wang Ke, with a very provocative expression, saying: "Wang Ke, I really should thank you. I heard that after half a year, your salary is still 1,500 yuan. Oh my, how pitiful! If it weren't for you pushing me out, I would be in the same situation now, where would I have my current 2,500 yuan salary? Haha, I really must thank you!"

  As he spoke, he walked over and patted Wang Ke's shoulder in a show of "encouragement" and "gratitude".

  Wang Ke let out a cold snort and completely ignored Sun Ming, walking directly inside.

  He couldn't help but hear the mocking tone in Sun Ming's words, today he was like a tiger fallen into a plain being bullied by a dog, he had already broken through, from now on he would be as free as a bird flying high, an old tiger shouldn't be bothered with a dog.

  Sun Ming's hand awkwardly remained suspended in mid-air, his face uncertain, and he let out a cold snort. A hint of malice flashed across his eyes as he turned to follow Wang Ke into the room.

  Coming to the counter, Sun Ming quickly printed out Wang Ke's salary slip on the computer and handed it to Zhou Guisheng. The series of actions were so familiar that they didn't seem like the first day of work at all, but rather a well-rehearsed routine.

  Looking at his paycheck, Zhou Guisheng nodded in satisfaction and praised Sun Ming: "You've done a good job, this is just right."

  "Thank you boss for the compliment."

  Sun Ming immediately looked like he had been granted an imperial favor.

  This almost made Wang Ke vomit up his breakfast, how can people be so cheap!

  Zhou Guisheng pulled out 50 yuan from the counter and threw the salary slip and money together to Wang Ke.

  Wang Ke took the salary slip and money, saw the items on it, and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He looked up at Zhou Guisheng and asked, "Boss, didn't the contract say that being late once would only deduct one day's salary? Why is there a deduction of 100 yuan? And why am I being deducted 200 yuan for breaking a cup?"

  Seeing Wang Ke's furious face, Zhou Guisheng felt a sense of relief and satisfaction, pointing at Sun Ming and saying: "You explain it to him."
