Chapter 4 - 4 003 Such grace few in the world

Chapter 4: 003: Such grace, few in the world Chapter 4: 003: Such grace, few in the world But Boss Xie had a rule, he only accepted pledges that were dead pledges, not to be redeemed.

The decoration in the shop was no different from that of old-time pawnshops, with two counters and two staff members, Zhang Xiaoming and Qian Zhouzhou. The former didn’t finish elementary school, while the latter graduated from the prestigious Bochen University of Technology, showing that Boss Xie’s hiring standards did not hinge on academic qualifications.

Zhang Xiaoming used to work at a debt collection company and had a large tattoo on his neck, but he had a very delicate appearance, a beast’s physique paired with a puppy’s face.

He had just started working when he saw a piece of cake on his desk.

“Is it your birthday today?”

Qian Zhouzhou, dressed in a Chanel-style suit, looked up from her computer screen, “Eighteen, thank you.”

Just then, the automatic sensor wind chimes at the door tinkled melodiously.

A customer had arrived.

Qian Zhouzhou stood up to greet, “Welcome.”

The customer was a lady, appearing to be in her twenties, with a round face and almond eyes, a face that had no aggression, but with a strong presence, “I want to pawn something.”

“Okay.”

Qian Zhouzhou turned on the camera and started the record keeping, “May I ask what you would like to pawn?”

The lady pushed forward a business card.

“I would like to see your boss.”

The card was pure black, blank on the back, with the words ‘Ruyi Pawnshop’ printed in gold letters on the front. Those who possessed a black card were VIP customers of the pawnshop, and there were no more than twenty throughout the Empire.

Qian Zhouzhou took the card and placed it into a special device to verify its authenticity. After confirming the card was real, she came down from next to the counter, “Please follow me.”

She led the way ahead, taking the VIP customer to the boss’s office behind the counter. The door of the office was closed, and she walked over and gently knocked three times.

“Boss.”

“Come in.”

Qian Zhouzhou pushed the door open.

The room inside was well-lit, with fine and golden sunlight covering the floor. The wall facing the door was long and tall, with a walnut-colored solid wood bookcase going all the way to the ceiling, filled with books at a glance.

A ladder for reaching high places was casually placed next to the bookcase; the room was spacious but sparsely furnished with just a desk, a tea table, two long sofas, and a woody plant in a pot.
