CHAPTER 694: CHAPTER 551: DUSK IN THE MOUNTAINS ALWAYS BRINGS BACK OLD MEMORIES

Isn’t this my Brother Shuang?

Haven’t seen you for a few days, why... missing someone?

From afar, Jiang Nian saw Xu Shuang standing there but didn’t see Xu Yuanshan, thinking why my big client didn’t show up.

Although Xu Shuang is quite prestigious, when it comes to spending, she’s not as good as Odoudou.

"You..."

"Where’s your younger brother?"

As soon as Jiang Nian spoke, Xu Shuang couldn’t hold it. She rarely interacted with boys alone, but there was zero ambiguity now.

"Didn’t come, what’s up?"

"Oh, nothing." Jiang Nian said this, but he couldn’t hide his disappointment on his face. "Let’s go."

Xu Shuang: "...."

When people are speechless, they are truly speechless.

"Let’s go."

Little Bear Milk Tea Shop.

They only agreed on the milk tea shop, their relationship wasn’t close enough to eat alone, so dining wasn’t considered.

But Jiang Nian was a bit hungry, so he ordered some food anyway.

"What would you like?"

She thought for a moment, "Lemon water, please."

With a beep, Xu Shuang paid the bill. Together, they went upstairs to a quiet second floor.

Jiang Nian felt at ease about this; it wasn’t his invitation to cover the bill.

Bang!

The second floor was a bit dim, looking like it had been converted from an attic. The space was small, with curtains at the end.

"Let’s go there, open the curtains." Jiang Nian pointed to the spot at the end of the corridor.

Xu Shuang nodded, "Alright."

After a few footsteps, the curtain swished open. The platinum sunlight was dazzling, reflecting a glow on the white wall.

Jiang Nian took out a two-inch sealed bag from his pocket and casually handed it to Xu Shuang, sitting opposite at the table.

"Here, take a look first."

After he spoke, he started playing on his phone.

Xu Shuang: "...."

She thought to herself, although this stamp isn’t very valuable in circulation, she spent a lot of effort trying to get it.

It shows the difficulty of acquiring this stamp.

It’s likely that even if Jiang Nian had a source, the cost of obtaining it wasn’t low.

Factoring in sunk costs, it’s not a small sum.

This person doesn’t even take a glance and starts playing on his phone. Does he trust me so much, not afraid I’ll damage or swap it?

"Maybe you should look at it," Xu Shuang suggested, looking up at him.

"No worries, you check it out."

Hearing this, Xu Shuang was a bit puzzled but thought perhaps Jiang Nian was used to big scenes. She thought about it and tried to stay composed.

"Alright then."

After looking for a while, she took pictures and asked around. The other party was also a bit puzzled, and confirmed several times before nodding.

"Yours doesn’t seem old-fashioned." Xu Shuang said nervously.

Jiang Nian didn’t intend to make big money off her; the main deal comes after the limit is increased, his attitude was casual.

"If you want it aged, it’ll cost extra to find someone for that."

"That’s not what I meant..." Xu Shuang’s mind was a mess too. "Never mind, just quote a price."

Quote a price?

Jiang Nian fell into thought, the cost of this thing was eighty cents. Yet in the market, stamps from the same era as this.

Years later, the value would be only one or two hundred.

"A few hundred, just pay what you think is right."

"A few hundred?" Xu Shuang was stunned again.

Her bottom price was three thousand, anything above that she’d hesitate, perhaps waiting for winter break to travel out for it.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Nian suggested just a few hundred.

This made her feel a bit embarrassed, considering Jiang Nian’s effort to come out and verify the item.

"Well, if you need anything next time, you can find me." Jiang Nian said, "Still, I said it before, I’m not Superman."

"You’re too modest. Being able to get specific stamps is already impressive." Xu Shuang smiled and finally scanned to pay.

Jiang Nian glanced, fifteen hundred.

His eyelid couldn’t help twitching. No wonder she’s well-off. But he felt no psychological pressure and accepted it directly.

"Alright, if there’s a next time, I’ll give you a better deal."

Seeing his indifferent reaction, Xu Shuang felt more confident about the stamp’s authenticity, and smiled.

"Sure, I’ll find you if there’s a chance."

"Okay." Jiang Nian got up to take his leave.

He didn’t say anything like helping spread the word, it’s completely a matter of opening once every three years and hitting big when it opens.

[Purchase] only has a three-day cooldown period. In the later stages, even if no one finds him, he can buy Tiger Bone Wine himself.

Firstly, it won’t be hard to sell, secondly, he can keep it for personal use as a chic collection.

Shenbao, the taste is amazing!

Even if it doesn’t earn early on, once the transaction limit increases, it will be a huge profit at the last deal.

Jiang Nian found a small shop, ordered a wooden bucket meal. Crossing his legs, he started looking at his new phone.

It’s not that the phone wasn’t good, but one phone wasn’t enough.

Gotta get a gaming device first.

...

Noon.

Jiang Nian swiftly scaled the wall at North Gate, evading the security patrol. Following the path inside the school, when he was about to return to the classroom.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him.

Looking up, he saw several acquaintances of Lin Dong popping out of the fifth-floor window, warmly greeting Jiang Nian.

"Byd scaling the wall, huh?"

"Reported."

"How does this guy scale walls like he’s strolling through a garden?"

Jiang Nian didn’t stop, waved to fool them a bit. Not trusting the third-class rascals, he turned and ran.

Upstairs in the corridor, a few of them moved away from the window sill.

"Dong!! Brother Dong!"

Just then, Zeng You rushed out of the dorm with a cellphone, urgently showing the screen to Lin Dong.

"Why can’t I download the latter half of this video?"

Lin Dong was in a good mood, leaned in to take a look.

"Oh... don’t download this one."

"Why?" Zeng You finally found a spot at the dorm window to connect to WiFi.

Where the WiFi came from, it’s from the rental building opposite.

"Because I’ve reviewed it, the woman’s chin doesn’t look good." Lin Dong touched his chin, suggesting.

"Like Zhu Yuanzhang’s chin."

With one sentence, Zeng You felt his world fell apart.

"Seriously, I’ve already downloaded half the video. You’re telling me this now, why not wait until I’m dead?"
