After the manager left, everyone looked around and found the locker room at a glance. Then, they went in and changed into hot spring clothes. Then, they comfortably soaked in the hot spring water that was 42-degree Celsius. As soon as their skin touched the hot water, they had goosebumps all over their bodies. A sense of comfort suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts and filled their entire bodies.
Due to the special nature of his profession, Zheng Jianghao had to be vigilant at all times. Therefore, he did not take a bath. Instead, he sat alone by the side. He did not drink or drink. His eyes were looking around the bamboo forest and the surrounding situation, for fear that something might happen.
His professionalism was seen by everyone. Ye Hongliang was very surprised. He did not hire a bodyguard when he went out. After all, no one looked for trouble with him.
However, Ye Xuan was different. He was the chairman of the leading enterprise, Dinglong Group. Many people in the country wanted to find trouble with him, and there were also people from abroad.
Although it seemed that the country was very safe, many dangers were hidden under this safety. In other words, the poor did not dare to commit crimes. If they did, they would be arrested immediately. However, if the rich, or a group of people at the top of society, committed crimes and had powerful backgrounds, they could really do whatever they wanted.
This was because Ye Xuan had always believed in one sentence. The rules were set by humans, and the Dharma Office was held by humans. Therefore, they could all change these rules through the dark side. As long as you were capable enough, anything was possible.
Zheng Jianghao was also very clear about this. Therefore, even in such a safe country like Huaxia, he did not dare to let down his guard. After all, the person he was protecting was the chairman of Dinglong Group, a top figure in the country. He did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
After going through all the information in his mind for a few rounds, his parents and elder sisters also understood this point. Therefore, they didn't care about it. Instead, they just took a hot bath and put some drinks on the floating plank. They just let it float on the water while drinking hot milk, various kinds of fruit juices and red wine. How comfortable it was!
Although it was midsummer and the weather was hot, the cool air caused by the hidden dampness in the depths of the underground made this place very refreshing. Coupled with the cool breeze that blew from time to time, this natural hot spring in midsummer became as warm as winter, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Not long after, everyone was done soaking. Their faces were rosy, and their bodies were very hot. Even in this cold winter environment, they were still sweating from the heat. Everyone was very satisfied, and their bodies felt as if they had been reborn.
Zheng Jianghao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was done soaking. Then, he got up and led Ye Xuan back to the changing room to dry and change his clothes. He was so conscientious that he almost followed him to the bathroom.
Ye Xuan was also a little speechless. Fortunately, they were all grown men, so it wasn't a big deal. Thus, he went to the drying room to dry himself. After changing into his own clothes, he went straight to the main hall.
His sisters and parents followed closely behind him. As they walked, they cheered and praised the freshly squeezed juice provided by this hot spring club. They were all very happy because they had reached a consensus.
While they were talking, Fourth Sister Ye Chan was so focused on talking that she didn't notice a ceramic vase placed by the door frame. As she passed by, she accidentally bumped into it with her arm, causing the ceramic vase to shake and fall. It fell to the ground with a "pa la!" sound, and broke into pieces, flying all over the floor.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. Fourth Sister Ye Chan was also dumbfounded, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly apologized to the waiter, "Sir, I'm sorry.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice. How much is this vase? Can I pay for it?"
The waiter also reacted and replied with an unpleasant expression, "Yes.
This vase is five thousand yuan. It's made of white porcelain. "
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They looked at the vase and then at the waiter and defended themselves.
"No, this is just an ordinary vase. How can it cost five thousand yuan?"
"Yes, it's not like we can't recognize the goods. This vase is very ordinary. How can it be worth five thousand yuan?"
As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Everyone had seen the market. Although they didn't have the hobby of collecting porcelain, they had seen a lot, so they could tell at a glance that this was clearly an ordinary vase. The workmanship was rough, and the texture was not delicate. It was estimated that it was only worth a hundred yuan.
"You didn't remember wrongly, did you?" Eldest Sister Ye Wan probed very tactfully. It seemed a bit too much to say that she was cheating people, so she said it very tactfully.
However, the waiter didn't seem to give in at all. He said confidently,
"Sorry, this vase is made of white porcelain. The market price is about five thousand yuan."
Seeing that the waiter was obviously cheating them, Ye Hongliang's expression changed slightly. He released his Qi and said in a deep voice, "Call your manager.
"Call your manager over. We'll talk about this slowly."
The waiter didn't hesitate and nodded decisively. Then, he turned and ran to the back hall to call a middle-aged bald man in a suit over.
The manager had already understood what had happened on the way. His eyes darted around, and the corner of his mouth curled up into an imperceptible sly smile. He looked at everyone and said, "Hello, Boss.
"Hello, boss. Ah, it's like this. This vase is a white porcelain collector's edition. This waiter is new here and doesn't know much about it. I'm sorry, but the market price of this vase is 50,000 yuan. It was collected from a village's cellar and is very valuable."
The manager originally wanted to quote ten or twenty thousand yuan, but when he saw that this group of people in front of him were foreigners, he wanted to take advantage of them.
He didn't dare to offend the locals of Tianjing. After all, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers. No one knew how strong the background of some people who dressed simply were. He didn't dare to offend the locals, but these foreigners, the manager had something to say. The salary for this job was low, so naturally, he had to think of ways to make some money. Otherwise, he would be killed.
"Do you want to pay by card or cash? We're a small business here, and we don't accept credit. I didn't quote a random price for this white porcelain vase. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. We're such a big shop, so naturally, we can't cheat you, right? "
The manager smiled slyly. Looking at them, he was already very happy. He was very happy about the upcoming profits. He was even considering whether to buy a car worth more than 100,000 yuan in installments and replace his Volkswagen that was more than 10 years old.
At the same time, he was thinking about how much to pay the waiter to keep this matter a secret from the boss. However, this shop was under his management, and it was rare for the boss to come, so this problem could be temporarily put aside.
