Chapter 189: Chapter 187: One Day, You Too Can Be Like Me

"Come on, Xiaowang. Let me introduce you. This is your Brother Wei, Wei Yilong."

Wei Yilong hadn’t expected Fang Chenyi to introduce him, and he quickly extended his hand with a smile.

"Oh no, please don’t. I was born in ’98, so I’m probably younger than Principal Wang. I should be the one calling you Brother Wang. Haha, I’ve heard so much about you. I never thought I’d get to meet you in person!"

Principal Wang quickly reached out to shake Wei Yilong’s hand, greeting him with a matching smile.

"Then you really are younger than me, haha. I don’t have a great name, maybe a notorious one. Hehe. Brother Fang, what are you guys moving?"

After the greetings, Principal Wang hurried to follow Fang Chenyi and the other man into the garage. He looked at the large pile of boxes on the floor and asked curiously.

Fang Chenyi scanned the area for a moment before his eyes locked onto two large, half-man-high crates. He walked over and started prying one open, answering casually, "The decorations in the house were getting ugly, so I hunted down some new stuff to replace them."

Seeing this, Principal Wang quickly offered to help. But the wooden slat that Fang Chenyi had pulled off so easily wouldn’t budge for him, even after struggling for a good while.

"Uh, Brother Fang, I’m seriously impressed. That hand strength..."

Principal Wang wasn’t embarrassed at all. Watching Fang Chenyi rip off the wooden slats one by one, he clicked his tongue in amazement. Then he spotted a toolbox in the corner and walked right over to it.

By the time Principal Wang returned, Fang Chenyi had already finished dismantling one of the large crates.

Inside the crate was a large vase that stood as tall as a person’s hip. The moment Principal Wang saw it, he gasped in shock.

"Holy crap, Brother Fang! Don’t tell me this is a Yuan Blue and White Porcelain vase!"

He rushed over to the large vase, dropping the small hammer in his hand on the ground. His face was a mask of utter shock.

After all, Principal Wang wasn’t like Wei Yilong. His own father was an antique enthusiast, and his home was filled with all sorts of antiques. Having grown up around them, he could generally tell if an antique was authentic at a glance.

Of course, that was the extent of his ability, or he wouldn’t have asked if it was real.

Fang Chenyi, however, acted as if it were nothing. He nonchalantly picked up the other large crate and started opening it, speaking in a flat tone.

"Nonsense. With your Brother Fang’s status, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to get a fake? I mean, you’re supposed to be the number one young master around here, right? How can a single crappy vase make you fuss like this?"

Principal Wang rolled his eyes. ’A single crappy vase... Whose crappy vase is worth over ten million?!’

From what he knew, ten million was probably an understatement. His old man had a similar piece of Yuan Blue and White Porcelain, but it was less than half the size of this one.

Even so, it had cost nearly nine million to acquire.

"Brother Fang, you really are extravagant. This thing... it has to be worth at least ten million, right? And this is just one. If it’s a pair, I’d guess they’d be at least fifty million! Am I right, Brother Fang?"

As soon as he said that, a stunned Wei Yilong cut in.

"Ten million?? Brother Wang, are you serious? This crappy pot costs ten million? Who in their right mind would spend ten million on it!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A few dark lines appeared on Fang Chenyi’s forehead. He casually tossed the wooden slat in his hand at Wei Yilong and snapped, "You’re the one who’s not in your right mind! This is an antique, you get it? An antique! Man, ignorance is a scary thing. Here, there’s another one. Xiaowang, your eye is pretty sharp. I think this pair really did cost fifty million. Alright, alright, stop gawking, you two. There’s still so much here. Hurry up and unpack. When we’re done, I’ll treat you both to a good meal."

He pulled the other large Yuan Blue and White Porcelain vase from the crate he was holding and handed it to Principal Wang, urging them to get a move on.

Seeing the large vase being handed to him with just one of Fang Chenyi’s hands, Principal Wang scrambled to receive it with both of his. He very carefully placed it on the ground, unable to stop himself from muttering, "So damn rich."

He picked up the vase and turned to carry it into the house, but as soon as he looked back, he saw that kid Wei Yilong forcefully yanking a small teacup out of its box.

When he got a clear look at the cup’s design, Principal Wang cried out in alarm.

"Put it down! Put it down now!"

Startled by Principal Wang’s shout, Wei Yilong’s hand trembled, and he nearly dropped the cup. Behind him, Fang Chenyi was speechless. ’What’s his problem, making such a fuss over nothing?’

However, Principal Wang paid no mind to their reactions. He gently set the large vase on the floor and hurried over to Wei Yilong’s side. He snatched the teacup from the other man’s hand and said with a pained expression, "I’m telling you, Wei, be gentle! If I’m not mistaken, this should be a Chenghua Doucai chicken cup! Good lord, this little thing is worth more than one of my cars!"

Seeing how Principal Wang was treasuring it, Wei Yilong couldn’t help but ask meekly, "Uh, Brother Wang, how much does one of your cars cost?"

"Oh, not much. Just ten or twenty million or so."

Asked this by Wei Yilong, he started to show off, looking rather smug. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered the unfathomable Fang Chenyi standing right beside him. His expression immediately fell. Cradling the chicken cup carefully, he turned to look at Fang Chenyi.

"Brother Fang, don’t tell me that all these boxes, big and small, are filled with antiques..."

Before Fang Chenyi could answer, Wei Yilong picked up the large vase that Principal Wang had just set down. As he started walking toward the villa, he shook his head smugly and repeated the words Fang Chenyi had used to rebuke him earlier.

"Brother Wang, what kind of question is that? The boss is such a spendthrift, of course they’re all antiques."

Halfway through his sentence, he saw Fang Chenyi glaring at him, and the guy quickly corrected himself with an awkward smile.

"Hehe, my mistake, my mistake. The boss has good taste. Brother Wang, don’t be fooled by the amount of stuff here. It’s not that much money. All together, it’s probably only about four billion. Don’t just stand there stunned. Let’s hurry up and move this stuff inside. I’m still waiting for the boss to treat us to a nice meal."

After speaking, Wei Yilong gave his head a cocky shake and walked past Principal Wang with the large vase, leaving a completely dumbfounded Principal Wang in his wake. After a long moment, a few words escaped his lips:

"Holy shit. Is this what they mean by ’poverty limits my imagination’?"

Fang Chenyi casually picked up the other vase, walked over to Principal Wang, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Strive on, kiddo. One day, you can be as successful as your brother here."

「To be continued...」
