Chapter 173: Life is finally starting to improve (Fourth update)

"Business?!" Eagle looked at Gao Dongxu in disbelief. He had originally thought that the boss would say something high-sounding, but he didn't expect that in the end it would be a business deal. This made him a little bit amused and helpless.

"Yes, it's business." Gao Dongxu laughed, reached out to take off the lid of the tea bowl, and used it to scrape the floating tea leaves. Then he picked up the tea tray, smelled the tea fragrance, blew on it, took a sip of hot tea, and continued while putting the tea bowl down, "In the collection business, there are generally three types of people. The first type only has money but no vision, and their end will be miserable because they are all regarded as fat sheep and slaughtered by others.

The second type has good eyes but no money. This is called poor collecting. Although they can be happy and comfortable, the blessings they bring to future generations are endless.

Needless to say, the third type of people have both financial resources and good vision. Almost all the famous collectors in history are such people.

In addition to the above three types of people, there are people like me who have both financial resources and good eyesight, and also like to collect, but they will not just collect without selling. I believe that collecting antiques will keep you rich, and greed for antiques will not make you rich, which is the couplet on both sides of the store door.

There is a saying in the art of war that one should fight to support the war. I just use my collection to support my collection. I resell antiques, making money while collecting antiques that I really like.

Only in this way can a virtuous cycle be formed. Otherwise, if I only collect but cannot produce, no matter how much foundation I have, it will not be enough to create, and I will ultimately be stuck with a poor collection."

"Well, boss, you are a man of vision." Eagle looked at Gao Dongxu and said sincerely.

"Haha, what's the point of that?" Gao Dongxu shook his head and chuckled. Then he looked at Old Eagle and said, "I've finished talking about me. Now, isn't it time to talk about you? Can you tell me your story? For example, why did you give up the country's arrangements for you and come to the capital alone?"

"..." Upon hearing this topic, Old Eagle fell silent, puffing furiously on his cigarette. Finally, with a wry smile, he said, "For my comrades... When I was on a peacekeeping mission overseas, a car rushed through a checkpoint. My comrade Bai Liang pushed me out of the way and escaped the explosion, but he died. Before he died, he entrusted his sister to me..."

"And your comrade's sister is in the capital, so you gave up everything and came to the capital alone to take care of your comrade's sister." Gao Dongxu nodded.

"Yes, actually, my comrade's sister doesn't need my care on a daily basis. She's an executive at a multinational company and lives a wealthy life. However, she's very active and loves adventure and excitement. Every year she organizes a few girls to go on adventures..."

As he spoke, Eagle smiled wryly and said a little embarrassedly, "So, Boss, if she wants to go out on an adventure, I need to take leave and go with her to protect her."

"Well, no problem. Isn't she against you?" Gao Dongxu asked after agreeing with a smile.

Old Eagle smiled bitterly again and said helplessly, "She's very resistant. Every time I go to see her, she says she doesn't want to see me... But since I promised Bai Liang, I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a brother to him."

"What does your sister look like?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

Old Eagle was startled, then looked at Gao Dongxu. He found that Gao Dongxu's eyes were bright and frank, so he nodded and said, "It's pretty good, but not as pretty as Xiaowei and the other three."

"Haha, that's not bad. Maybe, after a long time, you two will end up together." Gao Dongxu smiled and raised his eyebrows and teased.

Old Eagle shook his head bitterly. Under Gao Dongxu's puzzled gaze, he said calmly, "Although Bai Liang pushed me away at the last moment, I was still affected by the explosion and suffered permanent kidney damage..."

"Hiss——" Gao Dongxu's face changed and he took a breath of cold air. He looked at Chang Wei in front of him, his mouth open and speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Ahem..." Seeing Gao Dongxu's expression, Old Eagle knew he might have misunderstood something, and explained with a mixture of laughter and tears: "It's actually nothing, it doesn't affect my normal life. The doctor said it might affect my fertility, but I'm not sure."

"Oh, that's okay, I thought, haha..." Gao Dongxu had an expression that said you know what I mean, which made Old Eagle shake his head and laugh.

"However, my physical fitness was greatly affected after all, so I decided to retire." After saying this, Eagle smiled with relief, carefully picked up the covered bowl and drank a sip of tea.

"So your sacrifice is not small." Gao Dongxu looked at the eagle and said with emotion.

"No matter how great the sacrifice is, it is not as great as Bai Liang's push. He sacrificed himself, but I survived. His sister is my sister." Eagle said confidently.

"Yeah." Gao Dongxu nodded. No one could remain indifferent to this kind of comradeship of life and death.

The two drank tea, chatted, and listened to Eagle talk about his overseas peacekeeping experiences. Before they knew it, it was noon.

"Let's go and find a restaurant to have a drink." Gao Dongxu said as he stood up with a smile.

"Okay." Eagle stood up and said.

Gao Dongxu likes Leng Feng the most because he has a straightforward and unpretentious personality like Eagle.

First, we went to the parking lot and pretended to take out two bottles of Feitian from the trunk of the Ferrari. Then we found a restaurant, ordered six dishes and a soup, and chatted while drinking.

When the restaurant owner and other guests saw Gao Dongxu and his friend drinking Feitian, they couldn't help but glance sideways, wondering about their identities and backgrounds.

After all, who would treat Feitian as just any other wine? After each of them drank a bottle of Feitian and felt a little tipsy, they returned to the Zhenbao Pavilion store.

"No, I need to get some sleep. If you want to sleep, you can only sleep on the sofa outside."

In the inner room on the second floor, Gao Dongxu took off his shoes and lay directly on the huge Luohan bed. He took a pillow and said to Eagle.

"Well, boss, you go to sleep. I'm not sleepy. I'm going downstairs to look after the store."

"Okay, whatever you want. I'll take a nap first." Gao Dongxu watched Eagle walk out, took out the two small bronze wine glasses from the space, held one in each hand, closed his eyes to absorb spiritual energy, and his consciousness entered the courtyard world.

It was still the deserted corner where he had left. He took out a handful of yellow five-yuan coins that he had collected during this period from the space, smiled, and felt at ease with the money in his hands.

He took out a bamboo fishing rod with fishing line and hook tied to it from the space, took out a rope for stringing fish, installed modern fishing bait, and rode his bike straight to Jinshui Bridge.

It was already past three in the afternoon, and there were still many fishermen near the Jinshui Bridge.

Gao Dongxu found a place with few people, parked the car, took the fishing rod, put on the bait and started pretending to fish.

Gao Dongxu is no stranger to fishing. Although he is not a veteran fisherman, he is very familiar with the art of fishing.

He knew very well that if he wanted to fish in the wild, catch big fish and catch a lot of them, he had to make a nest. Isn't there a saying that goes, "If you don't make a nest when fishing, you won't catch much."

And it is not the kind of last-minute bait making. It is necessary to select the location many days in advance, make the bait, and continue to feed in large quantities at a fixed point and time. Especially when fishing for carp and crucian carp, you must make a heavy bait until the fish are retained and a small school of fish is formed. Let the fish get used to eating and then start fishing.

That way, as long as you put the hook down, the fish will bite, which is almost like picking up fish.

However, in this day and age, it is naturally impossible to use food to make bait, so fishing in the wild now depends entirely on patience.

Of course, Gao Dongxu came fishing just for show. In his space, he had prepared crucian carp, small carp, grass carp and black carp. When he returned home later, he would take out six or seven fish from the space, which would be enough to improve the family's meals.

Now that he can move freely, he can find ways to take out some supplies bit by bit. Of course, he can't take out too much or too frequently. After all, there are people watching him in the yard. What's more, there are not many good people in the yard.

However, Gao Dongxu, who had not had much hope of catching many fish, actually caught five fish in an hour, three black carp and two crucian carp.

While Gao Dongxu was delighted, he also guessed that the reason why fishing was so easy was probably because of the modern bait he brought, which was fishy and fragrant enough.

After looking at the sky, Gao Dongxu put away his rod, tied the fishing line, strung the fish together with a rope, turned his back, and took out three black carp and four crucian carp from the space, numbered them, and hung them directly on the handlebars.

He got on the bicycle, holding the handlebars with one hand and the fishing rod with the other, with a bright and happy smile on his face, ringing the bell, and rode back in a swaggering manner.

It has to be said that he attracted countless people's attention along the way, especially the long string of fish hanging on the handlebars, which attracted countless envious glances.

Gao Dongxu also planned his time well and rode his bike very fast. He wanted to get into the yard before the third uncle got off work. It was not that he was reluctant to give up the fish, but he was particularly annoyed by people like Yan Bugui who liked to take advantage of others and never got enough of it.

You should know that people who like to take advantage of others not only do not know how to be grateful, but instead think it is their right to take advantage of you. If they cannot take advantage of you, they will slander you behind your back.

Gao Dongxu's attitude towards this kind of people is: you want to take advantage, so I won't let you take advantage at all. I will make you anxious and greedy. Do you want to slander me and kidnap me?
Haha, sorry, he has a cheaper mom at home who is even more powerful. She has never lost when it comes to making trouble, throwing tantrums, swearing in the streets, and summoning ghosts.

"Hey, Dongxu, you caught so many fish——"

"Haha, I'm lucky today. I caught this wave of fish..."

As soon as they entered the alley, many people saw Gao Dongxu with more than a dozen fresh fish hanging on the cart, and they stared at him with their eyes shining.

However, no matter who asked him questions, Gao Dongxu had no intention of stopping to chat. Instead, he responded while riding his bike home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Gao Dongxu jumped off the bike, picked up the bicycle and went into the courtyard. Then, ignoring the three aunts who were peeking out of the window, he pushed the bike and ran into the hallway.

In the second courtyard, Jia Zhang was watching Xiao Dang at the door, while Qin Huairu was washing clothes in front of the faucet.

"Dad is back, wow, there are so many fish, Dad, so many fish..." Hearing the voice, Xiaodang immediately ran to the hallway. After seeing Gao Dongxu coming back, he immediately ran up happily, and then saw a large bunch of fish hanging on the handlebars. His eyes widened, and he clapped his hands and shouted happily.
