Lin Xiaotian's face showed a mocking cold smile. "I only glanced at them and knew which ones were fake. But since there were so many fake appraisals, I'm too lazy to talk about them. I'll just mention two of them."
"Qing Dynasty snuff bottles, exclusively for the Eight Banners. Such a gift even has flaws. The jade snuff bottle is missing a small corner. Saying 'next time' is equivalent to directly reducing the price of this antique by thirty percent."
"The other one is a Song Dynasty pomelo blossom porcelain."
Director Song's pupils contracted violently. He never expected that Lin Xiaotian, just by looking at the documents, had already discovered the flaws in his antique collection.
The photos he took indeed used those fakes. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Originally, his plan this time was to sell to three different buyers directly.
However, he had already sold those items to other provinces. After all, he was unfamiliar with those places and wouldn't dare to play tricks there. He even sold them at thirty percent below market price.
When he dealt with the Chu Group, he directly presented these meticulously crafted fakes, intending to make another hefty profit.
He never expected to be seen through with just a glance. He finally understood why Lin Xiaotian treated him with such an attitude.
But at this moment, he naturally wouldn't admit it and directly reached out to snatch the documents.
However, as soon as his hand extended, Lin Xiaotian casually grabbed a ballpoint pen from the side and stabbed it down fiercely.
"Ah!"
A scream came from Director Song.
The ballpoint pen not only pierced his palm but also directly nailed it to the solid wood table. The intense pain made his face contort, and his eyes revealed boundless rage.
"You bastard! Even if these are appraisals, we haven't reached a deal yet, and you're attacking me? Aren't you afraid I'll sue you?"
"If rumors spread, people won't say I sold fakes to you. They'll just say your store is bullying customers!"
At this moment, he felt a sense of fear. This person, who would pierce his palm without a word, was what kind of ruthless individual?
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Director Song, since you've already said we're bullying customers here."
"If I don't bully you, wouldn't that be letting your slander go unpunished?"
"Originally, I was too lazy to bother with you, but you don't understand plain language. When I confronted you earlier, didn't you have any self-awareness? If you were smart, you would have known what I meant, but you completely failed to grasp it."
"It seems you've been blinded by greed. If I don't sober you up, you won't know what you're doing."
As his voice fell, he picked up another ballpoint pen and stabbed it again.
The ballpoint pen pierced Director Song's other hand.
Perhaps the intense pain spreading from his palms to the table made his entire face contort. The whites of his eyes were clearly bloodshot, and the severe pain made his screams loud.
The soundproofing in the conference room was excellent. After all, the matters discussed in the conference room could not be easily overheard. Therefore, his screams were confined to the room.
Lin Xiaotian walked over with a smile and casually set the documents aside.
A hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
"Tell me, who sent you to scam our company?"
"Now, I don't want to hear any nonsense from you. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you won't be leaving here today. I also want to experience what it's like to bully someone."
"Piercing your two palms is just a small lesson for you."
Director Song's pupils contracted violently, and his eyes were filled with terror. Such tormenting pain was considered a mere lesson by Lin Xiaotian.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
"Didn't my wife introduce me just now? I don't want to repeat myself." Lin Xiaotian smiled and picked up another pen from the side, playing with it.
The smile on his face became increasingly evident.
Director Song felt a chill run down his spine. If he could do it all over again, he would never have dared to be so presumptuous in front of Lin Xiaotian, let alone try to deceive him with these items.
At this moment, he regretted it deeply. His eyes were filled with terror. "Lin Xiaotian, I apologize. It was all my fault before. I just wanted to sell to three different buyers."
"If you don't believe me, I can show you all the previous transaction records. I've deceived many people in other provinces, which gave me some courage."
"Returning to our city was like returning to my home turf. Here, I directly presented ninety-nine percent fakes, wanting to scam and leave."
"After all, my company has encountered some issues and cannot recover its losses. I know that if I can't collect funds in time, I won't even have a chance for a comeback."
"Please, let me go. I truly know I was wrong. I'll run away after I leave and won't cause you any more trouble."
"Please give me one last chance!"
A brilliant smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "Is that really all?"
"Selling to three different buyers is not a good thing. Causing trouble here with these items, and you think a few words of begging will make me let you go? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"You've caused me so much trouble. Later, my wife will ask me why the deal fell through, and it might leave a bad impression of me in her mind."
"Do you know how much emotional distress this will cause me?"
"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer now, then you're not leaving today. I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead, and yet no detectable issues."
"If you don't believe me, try me."
Director Song couldn't help but shiver. He looked at Lin Xiaotian with utter fear.
His voice trembled, "What... what do you want?"
"If you want compensation, I'll give it to you now. How about one hundred million?"
Lin Xiaotian slammed the table, startling Director Song.
"One hundred million?"
"Are you trying to bribe a beggar? Do you know how much money our company would lose if we accidentally bought these items?"
"You've probably made a fortune selling to three different buyers. You're offering a mere hundred million to appease me. Be honest, do you look down on me?"
