It was this time already, and Chi Gui hadn’t sent any news yet, so it seemed that what he had said before was really just an excuse.
Xia Yong didn’t feel too disappointed, after all, he had already given up.
His aunt patted Xia Yong’s hand comfortingly—just as she was about to say something, Xia Yong’s phone suddenly rang.
He answered it, and Chi Gui’s slightly cold voice transmitted through, "Mr. Xia, I showed your proposal to my friend, and he thinks highly of it. He wants to chat with you in person. Are you free today?"
Xia Yong was stunned for a moment, then instinctively replied, "Yes..."
Su Niannian was coming soon to replace them.
Chi Gui spoke decisively, "Good, I’ll send someone to pick you up later."
After this, he hung up.
Holding his phone, Xia Yong looked blankly at his wife, "Should I go or not?"
His wife was also a bit stunned, "Go... you’ve already agreed..."
Originally, if Chi Gui hadn’t contacted them, Xia Yong and his wife wouldn’t have cared too much.
But now that Chi Gui spoke so seriously, both felt somewhat uneasy.
After a short while, Su Niannian arrived.
Xia Yong told Su Niannian about the situation, mainly also wanting to ask what kind of person her friend was.
Unexpectedly, Su Niannian just smiled and said, "Since Sister Chi said so, you definitely won’t be disappointed going; she never speaks without certainty."
Xia Yong hadn’t expected Su Niannian to hold such a high opinion of Chi Gui, which complicated his feelings.
Another half-hour passed.
Someone knocked on the door of the hospital room,
Very politely, tapping lightly three times.
Xia Yong quickly responded, "Please come in."
After getting his permission, the person pushed the door open.
A tall man in a black suit stood at the door, saying to Xia Yong, "Hello, I’m sent by Miss Chi to pick you both up. Can we leave now?"
The man spoke very courteously, his face smiling, yet a distinct aura about him instantly overawed Xia Yong and his wife.
"Please follow me." The man led them to a car parked outside the door and drove for two hours, stopping in front of a hotel.
Getting out of the car, Xia Yong’s face shifted.
He was very attentive to the bidding process and naturally knew that this year’s bidding was being held in this hotel.
"Is this..." Xia Yong looked at the man beside him, his heart pounding, and asked with a trembling voice, "Did Chi Gui actually submit my proposal? Can I participate in the bidding?"
He must thank Chi Gui properly!
The man in the black suit, leading the way ahead, glanced at Xia Yong and smiled, "You don’t need to bid."
Saying this, he pressed the hotel elevator button, "Please wait with your wife in the room on the third floor. Mr. Shen Yun needs to handle the bidding matters first and will come later, which may take some time."
Xia Yong was a bit confused about the meaning of his words, "Sorry, I didn’t quite understand."
"You’ll find out soon," the man said with a smile, without elaborating.
The banquet hall for the bidding was on the first floor, while the third floor was for guest rooms.
After settling Xia Yong and his wife in the reserved room, the man left. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
How could Xia Yong possibly sit still?
The moment the man left, he headed down to the lobby.
Worried, his wife followed him.
As they reached the lobby, they saw the doors to the banquet hall already open, and all those involved in the bidding were walking out in groups of two or three.
