Chapter 146: Chapter 146 The Rules of Zhenbao Hall
Wang Hao then entered Xia Xue, and amidst her panicked expression, he began to move.
"Xue’er, I love you, you’ll always be my only one!"
As Wang Hao spoke, his fingers moved even more deftly, eliciting continuous soft cries from Xia Xue.
Xia Xue’s responses became increasingly intense, and to his surprise, she actively wrapped her legs around Wang Hao’s waist.
"Hehe, looks like my Xue’er couldn’t wait any longer!"
Seeing this, Wang Hao felt joy in his heart and began to speed up.
"Mmm~~ Mmm~~ Mmm~~"
Xia Xue felt like she was about to ascend, and all she could do was cry out helplessly.
As Xia Xue cried out, she could feel Wang Hao quickening his pace, driving her to inadvertently match his rhythm.
"Xue’er, you are amazing!"
Feeling Xia Xue’s cooperation, Wang Hao became extremely excited and initiated his unrestrained conquest.
"Ah~~~ Ah~~~ Ah~~~ Ah~~~"
Xia Xue’s voice rose higher and quicker, while Wang Hao fought on with increasing vigor.
Finally, both reached the summit.
"Huff~~ Huff~~"
Xia Xue lay on the couch, gasping for air, feeling as though she was about to collapse.
Wang Hao felt the same, sitting on the couch with his hands still on Xia Xue’s legs, and his treasure still firmly against Xia Xue’s lower belly.
"Xue’er, thank you!"
Basking in the happiness he just experienced, Wang Hao’s face showed complete bliss.
He had originally thought Xia Xue was an ice queen, yet she turned out to be so agreeable in their intimacy.
"Wang Hao, I thank you too, for giving me a new life."
Hearing Wang Hao’s gratitude, Xia Xue revealed a sweet, blissful smile.
"Hehe, I’ll make sure you’re always this happy."
After speaking, Wang Hao kissed Xia Xue’s forehead and helped her rise from the couch.
"I’m going to bed now, so Qi Shihan doesn’t see us like this in the morning, that would be terrible. You should rest early too."
After saying that, Xia Xue went back to her room to rest, and the two kissed goodbye reluctantly.
Wang Hao made up his mind that he had to prioritize buying a house quickly.
The next day, Wang Hao arrived at the company early while Xia Xue stayed at home to go over key points with Qi Shihan since the test was the following day.
With Xia Xue not there, it was just He Yifan and Wang Hao at the company.
He Yifan, still a young girl who easily blushed, would turn red after speaking just a few words with Wang Hao.
This made Wang Hao quite worried; if he and Xia Xue were both away from the company, he wondered if she could handle everything on her own.
"He, come here for a moment. I have a task for you—could you check out the nearby real estate for me? I’m looking to buy a house in the county, something spacious with good lighting!"
Wang Hao thought of using the house purchase as an early test for He Yifan.
"Okay, President Wang, I’ll go right away and try to get back to you as soon as possible."
Having said that, He Yifan grabbed her bag and left.
Alone in the office and feeling bored, Wang Hao decided to visit the cultural relics market in the county.
Located in the north of Hunan, this place was indeed magical, not just for its abundant herbs in the mountains, but also because the farmers would occasionally unearth antiques in their fields.
While these were not particularly valuable items, they did attract many collectors from all over the place.
This led to the formation of a cultural relics market designed specifically for these transactions. Although not large, one could sometimes find some interesting items.
Wang Hao stopped at each stall to look, discovering that most were fakes easily identified by any discerning person, only bought by tourists from out of town who knew no better.
"Come over and take a look, everyone, this is the Gu vessel used in the witchcraft of Northern Hunan. Just nourish some poison in this vessel, and you can cultivate your very own Gu insect. Whoever’s cursed by your Gu will follow your commands to the letter."
Even though the witchcraft of Northern Hunan is mystical, it’s not as magical as the vendor is making it out to be.
Clearly, he’s spouting nonsense to trick the outsiders who come here.
Yet, there are actually people who believe him.
Before Wang Hao came, he had learned that there was a shop in the market called "Zhenbao Hall," the largest one around, which might contain some genuine artifacts, far more likely than finding authenticity among the street vendors’ goods—a chance even slimmer than witnessing a ’nine stars in alignment’ phenomenon.
In fact, Wang Hao wasn’t particularly interested in ancient relics; he simply wanted to find out if there were any experts who could decipher the content written on the animal hide.
Wang Hao had brought along a small piece of the hide, hoping to encounter someone in the know.
"Line up, line up, everyone get in line and hold your items in your hand!"
Upon arriving at Zhenbao Hall’s entrance, Wang Hao found about a dozen people queuing outside, each holding their own ancient artifacts, waiting for an appraisal from a middle-aged man with a long beard.
"You may come in now."
After glancing at the porcelain in the hands of the person first in line, the long-bearded middle-aged man let him enter.
The second in line then approached the bearded expert grinning, eager to show him the ancient artifacts they’d brought.
"What are they doing?"
Wang Hao, burning with curiosity, asked the person ahead of him in line.
"It’s the rule of Zhenbao Hall."
The man looked perplexedly at Wang Hao as he scanned him from head to toe before speaking.
"Is this your first time here, brother?"
Wang Hao nodded with a smile.
"Then let me explain it to you in detail."
The man turned around and enthusiastically began to explain.
"Zhenbao Hall has always had this rule: Boss Yu takes care of finding the buyers, and when he finds the right one, he invites them to Zhenbao Hall."
"We then bring our goods to Zhenbao Hall to sell. If a deal is made, we must pay Boss Yu a 20% referral fee. However, Boss Yu’s judgement is quite high; he usually won’t let in common items. Look!"
Wang Hao followed his gaze and saw someone coming in with a jade pendant, claiming to be a family heirloom, but Boss Yu wouldn’t allow him to enter.
"If someone wants to buy it and the deal is done, would Boss Yu not just take the referral fee? Why not let him in?"
Wang Hao asked, perplexed.
"Boss Yu is also trying to uphold the reputation of his shop. If he let just any item in, how would that be different from these street vendors?"
The man continued to patiently explain to Wang Hao.
"That’s really snobbish!"
Wang Hao couldn’t help but sigh, thinking Boss Yu was just being haughty. Did he never make mistakes?
There were roughly twenty people ahead of Wang Hao, but only seven or eight had been let in. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"What have you got?"
Boss Yu, with a dismissive air of snobbery, merely glanced sideways at Wang Hao as if he owed him money.
"My item is a piece of animal hide, with some strange ancient script written on it!"
Wang Hao took out the animal hide to show Boss Yu.
"Animal hide? Are you kidding me?"
Boss Yu didn’t even want to take a glance after hearing it. He just waved his hand, signaling Wang Hao to leave, muttering under his breath.
"Merely a piece of animal hide and you’ve the nerve to bring it here, wasting my time. Truly ignorant of the ways of the world, off with you now!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Wang Hao thought to himself that with such poor skills, Boss Yu had no right to appraise items here. After all, this was animal hide from Shen Nong’s ancient tomb. But Wang Hao did not expose him, he merely affirmed confidently,
"This is no ordinary hide."
