Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2749: Invitation from the Ke family

If Jiang Hua hadn't introduced him, he would have charged double the fee.

Lin Ran nodded, he also understood the rules of this industry.

Being able to buy him out in one go is actually taking good care of him.

And when he wanted something from Fang Hong, the other party could obviously open his mouth.

The franchise fee of more than [-] yuan is indeed relatively high for ordinary people, but for antique merchants, it is actually no different from giving it away for free.

Lin Ran decisively paid the franchise fee.

Then, Fang Hong took him to visit the store.

The biggest difference between his store and other stores is his warehouse.

Most antique shops have iron doors locked on the outside of the warehouse, and anti-theft measures are taken on three floors inside and three floors outside.

Behind the iron door here, there are no other doors arranged but all are placed in safes.

Being able to equip the antiques in the store with safes provides greater security.

You can guess the approximate value of the items in the safe, and they are definitely treasures.

After learning about his safety guarantee, Lin Ran planned to go back and redesign his warehouse.

Although the warehouse does not allow outsiders to come in, it is also a guarantee for the store. At least it can make the clerks feel their professionalism and work more enthusiastically.

Back at my antique shop, the shelves have been decorated.

Baimao's work efficiency is quite high, and it only took a few days to decorate it in style.

Now they are placing the antique samples on the shelves and plan to conduct an on-site inspection to see if there is anything inappropriate.

The antiques placed on the shelves are basically handicrafts.

Lin Ran took a look at the general situation and felt quite satisfied. It already looked like a post-modern antique shop.

While he was watching the clerks working, Ke Yu came to the store.

Lin Ran said hello: "Why are you here alone? Where is Ke Hui?"

"Brother, he has something to do today and it's not convenient for him to come over. I'm here to check on the situation." Ke Yu smiled and then put a large bag of food on the table, which contained various delicacies. "Have you eaten yet?"

"Miss, our place is still under renovation. Aren't you afraid of inhaling formaldehyde into your lungs when you eat here?" Lin Ran said with a smile.

It's not that I object to him bringing fast food, but it's just too extravagant.

"Is it special?" Ke Yu asked.

Since Lin Ran refused to eat, Ke Yu handed it over to the captain of the construction team and asked him to take his men to eat.

"I don't know, Miss, what are you doing here today?" Lin Ran paused and asked.

Ke Yu said: "I heard that you recently took a photo of the Imperial Seal. Do you plan to hand over such an important thing to the museum?"

There are no outsiders now, and they speak more directly.

There was a lot of fuss about the last auction, and everyone in the circle knew about it.

Ke Hui wanted to buy the Imperial Seal, but was rejected by Lin Ran.

Ke Hui felt a little unhappy, especially knowing that the Imperial Seal was so valuable.

"It's definitely not a good thing to give this thing to him." Lin Ran also wanted to inform Ke Hui about this.

I want to say something to you. Lin Ran said with a smile.

Briefly describe the matter.

"Oh..." Ke Yu nodded.

Then he asked: "It's so dangerous, wouldn't it be more troublesome for you to keep it yourself?"

"Don't you even doubt the truth of what I said?" Lin Ran smiled and said, if you were to tell other people about such a fantasy, you would definitely have to question yourself first.

Unexpectedly, Ke Yu accepted it without asking.

"I believe you." Ke Yu said, "Then what are you going to do? If it is really related to the curse, wouldn't it be equally dangerous if you keep it in your hands?"

"This piece of imperial jade seal is okay, but the other piece of jade..." Lin Ran had a look of embarrassment on his face.

But it was difficult to say it out loud, so he had to smile at Ke Yu.

Ke Yu asked: "Where is this piece of jade now?"

"It's kept in a safe now, but this matter is of great importance. Don't tell anyone else." Lin Ran knew that Ke Yu was a curious person. Knowing this, this jade actually contained so many secrets, he must have Will get to the bottom of it.

But he didn't want too many people to know about this matter, so he didn't explain it in detail.

"So you're going out of town again soon?" Ke Yu had a sad expression on his face.

"Yeah, isn't it normal to go on a business trip?" Lin Ran asked, "Do you have anything to ask me about?"

"Actually, it's nothing. The main reason is that you helped our family so much during the Chinese New Year. I haven't had time to express my gratitude to you. I want to treat you to a meal."

"Oh, by the way, my grandfather decided this matter, not me asking you to do it." Ke Yu explained quickly.

"Have you already expressed your gratitude? This antique shop is a thank you gift." Lin Ran laughed.

"The antique shop is just one of them. Our family can give you a lot of benefits." Ke Yu said, "But then again, don't you have any needs? For example, money or something."

Lin Ran is not short of money now, and he is actually secretly looking for sources of goods to break away from the Ke family to support this matter. He has a guilty conscience, and of course it is difficult to say it outright.

Recalling this incident, Lin Ran probably knew what Ke Hui was busy with. He was probably preparing porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Well, you won't be leaving this week, right?" Ke Yu asked, "Our family will treat guests to dinner in about two days, and I hope you can participate."

"Is there any special significance?" Lin Ran asked.

If he hadn't been specifically asked to do so, he really wouldn't have wanted to attend such a high-society gathering.

In fact, he doesn't like delicacies, and the social circle of the upper class makes him feel very uncomfortable.

"Actually, it's just that my grandpa wants to see you and hopes you can come." Ke Yu said, "Lin Ran, I haven't asked you for anything, but you must promise me this."

There was a look of pleading in her eyes.

"Okay, Miss Ke has said so, can I refuse?" Lin Ran smiled.

Some things may be better explained in person.

There may be some small misunderstandings between him and the Ke family now.

Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to meet the real head of the Ke family.

According to legend, there is an expert who can identify antiques just by looking at them.

"Okay, let's just say it. See you on Friday." Ke Yu ran out of the store with a smile.

He is really a person with changeable moods. Just when he entered the store, he looked like a boss, and after inspecting for a while, he turned into a little girl again, giving people an unpredictable feeling.

Lin Ran was a little confused as to why she came here.
