I instantly ran out and locked my shop up before flagging down a cab to head to the television station .
I dashed into the studio and went up angrily to the receptionist . "That program . Is it here?"
She looked up at me in startlement . "Hi, what is it?"
I looked around and pointed at a television screen not far away, asking anxiously, "Where are they? That auction . Ceramic art . Is that happening here?"
The channel on the television screen switched to another program .
"Wait . You're talking about 'Treasure Time' that screens every Tuesday?" she asked with an awkward smile .
"Yes, that . "
"They're not here," she answered .
"There's no way . I just saw them 20 minutes ago on the screen . I wasn't far away . Do you have a contact that I can call? They're cheaters . I am Chalk," I shouted .
"You must've misunderstood, sir . The programs we screen are all pre-recorded, so we're just screening clips from weeks ago," she explained .
Two security guards came in from the back . One of them warned, "Please lower your volume when you speak . "
I sighed . "Sorry for being rude . Do you know where they are? Or how I can contact the person in charge of the program?"
"Please follow me, sir," she requested before walking to the side .
I followed her helplessly with
the two security guards trailing behind us in a watchful manner .
She questioned softly, "Did they cheat you of your money? You look really agitated . "
I nodded slightly . "Yeah, they lied to me . "
"There's no one to monitor this place and it won't be good for either of us if this blows up . I'll give you the contact of one of the producers, but don't tell him that you got it from us . "
I nodded again . "Alright . "
"I'll get you their name card . Give me a second," she said before running to a counter .
As I followed, the two security guards made sure to keep me in their sights .
She handed me a name card and I found it oddly familiar .
I scrolled through my phone to search for that number .
Indeed, saved on my phone, was that number attached to a name – Three Customers .
I remembered receiving the exact same name card from one of them .
I stuffed it into my pocket, thinking through everything that had happened .
I left the station and called the customer up .
The line connected quickly .
"Boss Chalk! You're calling earlier than expected . New pieces? Or are you in need of money?" he asked chirpily .
"Yes, new pieces . Better than those from before so I'm quite excited . "
"We'll come over in a few days, Boss Chalk . And it's time you change your mobile phone since you have the money now! That way, you can snap some photographs for us to a.s.sess your works . Of course, I'm not saying that your works aren't good . I'll have you know, that my boss only has good words for your stuff . "
"So you guys are coming over tomorrow?" I asked .
"I'm still overseas . Will the day after tomorrow be fine? Are you tight on cash? It's understandable, the rent there is ridiculous," he sympathized .
"I'll wait for you then," I finished before hanging up .
I returned to my shop and for the whole night, I tried to devise a plan .
I decided to confront them when they visited but then I quickly realized that I had no substantial evidence .
I racked my brains for something that would help me figure out what exactly was going on .
The next morning, I bought a tea set and an expensive type of tea leaves, Tieguanyin, in spite of the fact that I never had the habit of drinking tea .
I also bought three thick ropes and some sleeping pills .
I had searched many shops for those sleeping pills before I found a doctor that was willing to prescribe them to me .
"I've been under immense pressure and I haven't been sleeping for three nights now . I can still eat but I find it difficult to sleep," I told the doctor .
He looked me over clinically and replied, "Your dark eye circles are indeed heavy . I'll prescribe you eight pills for now because taking any more than that will affect your energy . Don't take them consecutively, okay?"
On the day that I was to meet the three buyers, I ground the pills into powder and poured it into the teapot .
When they came over in the afternoon, one of them greeted, "Seems like our boss is starting to enjoy life, eh? Drinking tea and all . "
"Oh, you've noticed? I just started . " I smiled as I get the pot ready .
"Hey, I did pick up some things from you . You do look a little unaccustomed . Here, let me do it . " He opened the teabox and caught a whiff .
"Wait, what is this tea?"
"Not bad, aye?" I smiled .
"It is decent but I don't think it's as good as my boss' . I guess we'll know better once we try it . " He smiled before gathering the tea set .
Another man added, "Where's the good stuff you mentioned? Show them to us!"
"Wait here, I'll go get them . " I headed to the back of the room to gather some ceramic pieces .
I stuck close behind the door, eavesdropping on their conversation .
Minutes pa.s.sed and one spoke impatiently, "Isn't he taking too long?"
"His products are only half finished, perhaps they've gone out of shape and he's fine-tuning them . You did squash one of them before . "
"But he's taking way too long . Should we look for him inside?"
"What for? We've done this so many times . He has his own shop and tea set now . Are you afraid that he won't have the stuff? We're drinking good tea . He must He must be rich . Come, this tea is great . "
"Hmm, it smells a little strange . "
"Not as good as our boss' . I think you steeped this wrong . "
"How will I get that wrong? Boss gets me to do this for him every time . Maybe the water's dirty? Why's there a strange smell?"
I figured that this was the right time, so I came out with my works . "Sorry to keep you guys waiting . How's the tea? I've just started getting into it . The water inside hasn't been boiled . "
"No wonder it tastes kinda strange," one commented .
"They're done, come take a look . I made them these past few days," I invited .
"They look . . . quite average . Nothing special," one critiqued .
"Same price and we'll take them all, is that alright?" the other added .
"Of course," I agreed .
They got the money ready and we sealed the deal .
As they were walking toward the door, I called them back .
"Hold on, fellows! I forgot to sign my name . "
The moment they turned their wobbly bodies around, I ran up to the door and locked it .
