Charlie nodded in satisfaction when he saw how obedient Zachary was. 3
In fact, Zachary was a very clever man and he would definitely be useful to Charlie in the future since he is indeed very capable and full of ideas. 1
After that, Charlie told him, "Zachary, I'll definitely treat you well if I'm satisfied with your behaviour."
Zachary hurriedly clasped his fists together before he said, "Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I'll definitely make sure you’re satisfied!" 3
Charlie could not help but smile at Zachary’s flattery. " Do you know that I really feel like hitting you because of how shameless you look right now?"
Zachary laughed before he said, "Mr. Wade, I know how ugly my face is but you should also know that money is never ugly!"
After that, Zachary took out a black box from under the seat before he handed it over to Charlie. "Mr.
Wade, this is the three hundred thousand dollars in cash that I’m supposed to give your father-in-law.
Please check if the amount is correct." 2
Charlie waved his hand before he said, "It's okay, I'm leaving now."
Zachary suddenly asked, "Mr. Wade, aren't you going t
o walk around Antique Street?" 1
"No, I won't be walking around the street today," Charlie replied immediately. "After all, nine hundred and ninety nine out of ten thousand items displayed o n Antique Street are fake. What's the point of shopping here?” 5
Zachary nodded before he said, "Alright then, please have a safe journey. I'm about to close my stall too." 1
Charlie then asked out of curiosity, "Where are you going? Why are you closing up so early?"
After that, Zachary replied, "I'm going to the small commodity market to buy some goods. It seems as though no one is really interested in fake jade anymore. Therefore, I’m going to the commodity market to buy some copper coins instead. I can get the fake copper coins in the commodity market for one dollar each and I can sell it for one to two thousand dollars on Antique Street.” 2
Claire was shocked when she heard Zachary’s words and she exclaimed immediately, "You’re buying them for one dollar apiece and you're about to sell them for one to two thousand dollars each? Isn't that exploitation?” 3
Zachary scratched his head before he replied, "Well, that is how things work on Antique Street. If I sell the copper coin for one or two dollars, the other stall owners on Antique Street will kill me!"
