CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46 MY SIGNAL ISN’T VERY GOOD~~

Qian Lin, who had been rebuked, felt a blockage in his heart and could only watch his one million fall into Sui Yi’s hands~~~

Li Ling was somewhat dazed, thinking that she worked for others, and even after slaving away for seven or eight years, she might not be able to save a million~~~

Yet this person, who looked like a high school student, just had a few words with Sui Yi and ended up with a million?

This . . .

Has the world become a fantasy?

But she also knew that such opportunities were rare and not to be sought after; when encountered, if one didn’t have the capability, they might not succeed, which is even more difficult than winning the lottery. After all, the latter is a matter of luck, while the former also requires actual strength.

Strength . . . Did she actually feel that the girl had strength?

The world really has become a fantasy!

-------------------

As everyone concluded the matter and casually shared their insights, Elder Lin still couldn’t help but pester Sui Yi about how he suddenly gained such ability.

Being Elder Tang’s partner, he knew a little about Sui Yi and had thought that Sui Yi’s capabilities were only in handling tasks efficiently. But now, this rascal had suddenly become a little expert in antiques. Although still quite green, this kind of progress was too terrifying, too strange . . .

Not one to go against the questioning of an elder, Sui Yi casually replied, "I read some books last night . . among them was one about porcelain. . . it was also luck."

Elder Lin was taken aback, "Read books? You read books last night?"

"Yes . . . The books in Elder Tang’s study, he gave them to me . . "

All eyes simultaneously turned towards Elder Tang, who was utterly shocked inside and reflexively asked, "You read them all? Remembered them?"

Sui Yi shook his head lightly, "No, I only read three, and there are some I didn’t remember."

It should be that he hadn’t finished reading and deemed some as not necessary to remember.

Ha, this statement, this tone, must be him being modest, huh! Modesty?

Is this modesty!!!!

Everyone felt amazed!

Elder De stared at Sui Yi for a while and chuckled, "Astonishing memory and practical application, very good, very good . . ."

Elder Tang was extremely pleased, his smile splitting up to his nose . . .

Elder Lin glanced at Elder Tang’s smug expression, feeling quite annoyed, "What are you laughing at! You didn’t teach her, it’s the girl herself who read the books!"

"Mind your own business. It was also I who picked the books! This proves I have a unique vision!"

So, picking books now shows a unique vision?

Sui Yi smiled faintly, seeming to remember that Elder Tang randomly grabbed a few books for her last night . . .

Although she had revealed her astonishing memory, which was quite high-profile for once, it was also because she wanted to cover up the "sudden enlightenment" loophole in order to lay the groundwork for the future.

Yu Quan looked at Sui Yi deeply, thinking, this young girl is not simple at all~~

-------------------

With matters settled, Qian Lin and his daughter no longer wished to stay and quickly found an excuse to leave.

With the ill-faced people gone, everyone felt a bit more at ease, talking and laughing casually, and finally adjusting their emotions, planning to bid Elder De goodbye and leave.

However, at this juncture, Elder De suddenly called out to Elder Tang.

"Shopkeeper Tang, could I buy your ’Hat Tilt Collection’?"

"Eh?" Elder Tang was stunned, then immediately piled a smile on his face, "Elder De, what’s this about buying or not buying, if you like it, I will give it to you~~"

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi raised an eyebrow.

"The item is not for me, but my boss has a great fondness for Nalan Xingde and has instructed me to collect as much as possible. And this ’Hat Tilt Collection,’ I think he will like it~~" Elder De said with a smile, and for some reason, glanced at Sui Yi again.

Sui Yi frowned and shifted slightly to the side.

Boss!

Elder Tang and the others all brightened up!

They all knew Elder De’s extraordinary background, seeming to have far-reaching influence in the Jiangnan District, and his "boss" obviously represented his extraordinary backing!

"Since it’s for Elder De’s boss, then there’s even less need to discuss. I’ll give away the ’Hat Tilt Collection’ . . ."

Elder Tang behaved as if he was eager to give the item away for free.

Boss Quan and the others, to say the least, were feeling extremely annoyed inside; damn, if they could climb this connection, let alone giving away an item they bought for three hundred thousand, they would give it away even if it cost three million!

At this moment, Elder De smoothly took advantage of the situation and said, "In that case, I’ll make a call to ask my boss~~"

Elder Tang was taken aback, while the others were also astonished.

Something wasn’t right; was he really going to let Elder Tang climb the ladder with an item worth three hundred thousand?

Tang Hanyan’s gaze flickered slightly as she observed Elder De for a moment.

It seemed that something odd was coming!

"Yes . . . boss . . it’s the ’Hat Tilt Collection’ . . okay . . Sui Yi, you take the call"

It was utterly baffling, truly baffling. Elder De’s phone was already being passed to Sui Yi.

Everyone was stunned.

This wasn’t right. Why was Sui Yi taking the call?

Elder Tang was also taken aback.

Damn it, I’m the one bringing gifts here!

This Elder De... A chill ran down Sui Yi’s spine.

She had realized early on that this Elder De was the same elderly man she had seen at the tea house before, and he was one of Yi Chilian’s people.

Not wanting to get too entangled with him, she had pretended not to recognize him. But when Elder De had called her out by name, she knew that pretending ignorance wouldn’t work anymore.

And now... Sui Yi furrowed her brows, sighed after a moment, and accepted the cell phone. After thinking it over, she decided against moving away to talk.

She had nothing to hide, and it was better to be straightforward about it, after all, she wasn’t the one looking to climb the social ladder and forge relationships with others.

"Is that ’Hat Tilt Collection’ yours?" came Yi Chilian’s voice from the phone, as unfazed as ever.

"Yes..."

"Huh, since you have that item, and I’m the one who saved you, why haven’t you thought of showing gratitude? It seems you really don’t care about me ~"

High and noble Mr. Yi, are you extorting gratitude?

Sui Yi quietly removed such descriptors from her inward view of Yi Chilian. She replied, "Mr. Yi jests. I wasn’t aware you liked such... items."

"Is that so... Didn’t you look through the books in my study?" Yi Chilian’s laugh carried a hint of amusement.

It was as if he was saying, how could you not know about my refined tastes?

You’re playing dumb, huh ~

"Sorry, I didn’t think so much... Since Mr. Yi likes it, I will purchase such items for you in the future to repay the debt of saving my life." Sui Yi sensed something odd - his moods were capricious, and it seemed like he enjoyed toying with her.

He had a powerful background, one that she wasn’t capable of contending with. Less contact with him was the wiser choice.

Thinking this over, Sui Yi pulled the phone away from her a little...

Spectators were puzzled, guessing at what Sui Yi might be planning to do...

Then they heard Sui Yi speaking through the air to the phone, apologetically saying, "Teacher, I’ve got a poor signal here... I expect we’ll lose connection soon, it’ll hang up automatically ~~~..."

And then, she hung up the phone.

Elder Tang’s face went green!

Boss Quan and the rest were all in a state of shock.

With a perfectly natural demeanor, Sui Yi handed the phone back to Elder De, who wore a peculiar expression, her words very sincere.

"I’ve said it... I will repay Mr. Yi’s kindness one day. If there’s anything you need from me, Elder De, just say the word without hesitation," she said, neither humble nor arrogant.

Elder De paused in his gaze upon Sui Yi’s face; unlike others, he showed no fleeting disdain, only smiled, took the phone back, and said, "Alright, I’ll pass on your words to Mr. Yi. If you’re interested, you can also come to the tea house for tea in the future. The Biluochun tea I brew is quite good ~"

Saying this, he proceeded to deal with a befuddled Elder Tang.

Who is Elder De, and who is Mr. Yi? It’s only natural that they wouldn’t take things for free.

"Mr. Yi? I didn’t expect it to be Mr. Yi, but it seems it could only be him..."

"No wonder," the crowd murmured, their realization dawning. They re-examined Sui Yi, detecting not a hint of discomfort. Recalling her respectful and meticulous dialogue with Yi Chilian, it seemed like they weren’t well-acquainted, yet there might be some indebtedness...

This was no surprise then.

Yi Chilian occasionally saved various people; Sui Yi was not an exception.

Even though Elder De’s attitude towards Sui Yi might have been slightly special, that was all there was to it.

As everyone was about to leave, Yhan Qingwu said goodbye to Sui Yi and, out of politeness, brought her mother along as well.

However, there was a momentary seriousness on her face.

She was aware of her own family affairs and knew exactly what kind of person her mother was. Given some of Sui Yi’s past actions, she feared that her mother might have some misgivings about Sui Yi. Fortunately, her mother seemed to have a favorable impression of her today.

"Is it Sui Yi..."

"Hello, ma’am," Sui Yi greeted as she saw Tang Hanyan extending a hand. Her gaze flickered and she, too, extended a hand and shook it, but then quickly released it, startled.

In her heart, she confirmed something: the magnetic sensation of Tang Hanyan was very odd, as if sinking without a trace in water.

Could she be trained in a special skill as well?

Tang Hanyan, for her part, would never have imagined that Sui Yi could detect a hint of her secret through Magnetic Sensation. With a serene and graceful smile on her face, she said, "You’re quite impressive."

With just these four words, coupled with an approving look, Li Ling was filled with immense envy.

"You flatter me, ma’am," Sui Yi responded.

Soon after, Tang Hanyan took Yhan Qingwu to the car their driver had brought. That car, it was an expensive model, worth several times what Sui Yi had just acquired — a million more, perhaps ~
