Flashbacks

Su Li Xia was looking for an antique watcher who liked to collect antiques from the Qing dynasty. The man's nickname was Chong Wen, no one knew his real name because the man did intend to hide his real name.

"Miss, I've tracked down Chong Wen's whereabouts. The car he was riding in headed to the Exo hotel, and the man's assistant booked a room on his behalf. It was most likely that Chong Wen was staying there." Ling reported by phone.

"Alright, Ling's good work!" su Li Xia replied then disconnected the phone.

The woman went to the Exo hotel to meet the man called Chong Wen, when she got there Su Li Xia was asked to wait because according to her assistant, she had been asked to wait, Chong Wen was currently nowhere to be seen.

Su Li Xia waited 20 minutes before the man finally arrived, the man with an age of just 40 years old had a tall stature and was quite handsome. He sat down in front of Su Li Xia then asked her, "What do you want from me little girl?"

"I just want to show you an antique! Who knows if you're interested in this and want it!" replied Su Li Xia.

The man smiled kindly, he then asked again, "Where is the item you mean little miss?"

"Here, right here!" su Li Xia replied as he lifted a box onto the table.

The man opened the box and looking at the contents, he noticed every detail of the black dragon until he peeked into the inside. His eyes were so excited when he found out that the item he was holding was a rare antique that he had been looking for.

"Little lady, where did you get this stuff?" ask Chong Wen.

"I bought it from an antique dealer." replied Su Li Xia.

"I didn't expect a little girl like you to already have such an incredible talent." praised the man with a wide smile.

"So how? Are you interested in this stuff?" su Li Xia asked without further ado.

"Yes, tell me how much you're asking!" chong Wen.

Su Li Xia looked at the middle-aged man's face, he then said, "How much can you offer to buy this black dragon?"

"Haha!"

The man suddenly laughed, he then said, "You're a very smart little girl huh! You're afraid that if you give too low a price, that's why you let me determine the price, is my estimate correct?" said Chong Wen who looked very pleased.

"True, I would be at a loss if I mentioned the price that was too low, but I believe you will give me the true price of this black dragon because you are an expert. Isn't that so, Mr Chong Wen?" replied Su Li Xia.

The man again smiled and laughed happily, he looked at the black dragon in his hand then said, "5 billion!"

"Can't you give the price of 7 Billion for that black dragon?" su Li Xia asked with a very calm face even though he was actually a little surprised by the price opened by Chong Wen.

Su Li Xia was slightly surprised by the price given by Chong Wen. He had originally hoped that the price of the black dragon would not be lower than 2 Billion but it turned out that Chong Wen would give 5 Billion to buy the black dragon. But it did not make Su Li Xia feel satisfied, he asked for a higher price than the price offered by the man.

After a moment of silence, the man then agreed on the price that Su Li Xia had asked for. "Give me your account number, I'll send you the money" the man said without bidding.

Su Li Xia gave her account number, not until 5 minutes the money in her account had increased by 8 Billion.

"I asked for 7 Billion, why did you send me 8 Billion?" su Li Xia asked after getting the notification from the bank.

"That's because I feel good about meeting a smart and brave girl like you. Think of the 1 Billion as a bonus for comforting this old man." Chong Wen replied with a smiley face but looked sad.

"Thank you!" su Li Xia said without refusing because he knew that even if he refused, the man would still insist on accepting it.

Su Li Xia went home, he got out of his chair and walked out of the room. The woman stared at her watch which was then shown at 8 p.m.

"I'd better get some food before I go back home!" thought.

He got into the elevator and headed to the 80th floor because the hotel restaurant was there. Su Li Xia chose a seat that was in the corner of the room, she chose that place because from there she could see the entire contents of the room without having to turn around to the back.

A waiter carrying a menu book, Su Li Xia ordered a cooked beef steak of perfect maturity and a bottle of wine as his steak companion.

A few minutes later the dish was served by a waiter, not forgetting a bottle of wine that had been opened and closed.

"Please Miss!" said the maid after putting Su Li Xia's order on the table.

"Why am I even reminded of that poisonous wine?" thought Su Li Xia when he picked up the glass of wine he had just poured.

The woman took a sip of the wine and poured the wine back into her empty glass. Unknowingly the wine on the table was empty leaving only the bottle. Su Li Xia's face began to turn red from drinking too much wine.

"My view was blurred just because of a bottle of wine, why is this woman's body so weak?" the weakness in the heart.

Su Li Xia tried to get up from the seat, he got into the elevator after paying his food bill. Who knows, when the elevator opens on the 70th floor, a man suddenly approaches him. He looked at the man's face, "Why are you here?" su Li Xia asked when he saw Lu Xuan Cheng's face standing before him.

Lu Xuan Cheng glanced at Su Li Xia's face yet he paid no heed to the woman's question.

"What's wrong with this guy? He looks like he doesn't recognize me!" thought Su Li Xia.

The man recalled holding the hand of the woman who unzipped her pants, pushing her body to the ground and fleeing the room. Now, he's stuck in the elevator alone with the woman who's been pissing him off all day.

"Always the same trick! Damnit damnit! Today I was so careless!" inner Lu Xuan Cheng.
