Bai Hanyun chuckled at Yu Tianshuo’s question and replied, "Master Yu, I don’t have any new antiques, but I’d like to auction off my remaining pieces at Gu Bao Auction House. I wonder if I could visit to register them?"
Hearing this, Yu Tianshuo laughed happily. "Of course! I have been waiting for news from Miss Bai since yesterday."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Miss Bai, there will be an auction at Gu Bao Auction House in two days. Since you are interested in selling your antiques, would you like to attend the auction? You can observe the process and see if anything catches your eye."
The corners of Bai Hanyun’s lips curved up at his words. "It would be my honor to attend the auction."
Receiving her positive answer, Yu Tianshuo laughed again. "Then I will have my grandson deliver the invitation to you. I look forward to your visit."
"Thank you for the invitation, Master Yu. See you in two days."
After ending the call, Bai Hanyun picked up the antique mirror and said, "Since you helped me this time, I will help you."
Placing the antique mirror back on the bedside table, she dialed Li Dagou’s number.
In his small office, Li Dagou’s phone rang. When he saw Bai Hanyun’s name on the screen, he quickly answered.
With a smile in his voice, he said, "Hello, Miss Bai."
Bai Hanyun didn’t waste time with small talk and directly asked, "Boss Li, do you sell quicklime?"
Li Dagou raised his brows slightly at her question. A few seconds later, he replied, "Miss Bai, I do have quicklime. But may I ask what you need it for?"
Bai Hanyun paused for a moment, then lied through her teeth without blinking, "Lately, I have been interested in agriculture and want to adjust the soil’s pH in my land. I might need a large quantity of quicklime for that."
After listening to her answer, Li Dagou nodded in understanding and asked, "How much do you need?"
Since Bai Hanyun didn’t know exactly how much quicklime Feng Xiyan needed, she simply said, "I will take however much you have."
When she said that, Li Dagou was stunned for a second. Then, with a hint of doubt, he said, "Miss Bai, we have at least 100 tons of quicklime in the warehouse. Are you sure you need that much?"
"Yes. I want it all," she replied without hesitation. "How much does it cost?"
Realizing she was serious, Li Dagou stopped questioning her. There was profit to be made, and he certainly wasn’t going to pass on this opportunity.
With this in mind, Li Dagou answered, "Since Miss Bai is buying more than one ton, I will give you a wholesale price—750 yuan per ton. Our quicklime is a high-quality industrial-grade quicklime, and I got it directly from the factory, so our price is the lowest in the market."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up as she quickly calculated the total. After a few seconds of calculation, she said, "Deal. Please send it over as soon as possible."
"Alright. Miss Bai, is there anything else you would like to buy?" Li Dagou asked.
Remembering the night she had to run to the hardware store to buy those fire extinguishers, Bai Hanyun said, "Boss Li, I would like to buy 1,000 fire extinguishers. Do you have those in stock?"
"I do. What size are you looking for?" Li Dagou asked while checking the inventory on his laptop.
"I need 9 kg portable fire extinguishers. How much are they?" Bai Hanyun asked.
Li Dagou checked the price list and replied, "They are 50 yuan each—totaling 50,000 yuan."
"Alright. I will take 1,000 units," Bai Hanyun said. Then, after a pause, she added, "Also, give me 2,000 boxes of canned meat."
Li Dagou’s eyes lit up when he heard this. The price of canned meat was not cheap. Based on Bai Hanyun’s usual purchase volume, Li Dagou will definitely make a lot of money this time.
After checking the price list, he said, "Each box contains 24 cans, and they are 9 yuan per can—so the total for the canned meat is 432,000 yuan. Miss Bai, would you like to order anything else?"
Since she had just sent food to Feng Xiyan earlier, Bai Hanyun replied, "That’s all for now."
After she said that, Li Dagou quickly calculated the total. "Alright. That brings your total to 557,000 yuan. But since Miss Bai is our regular customer, I will give you a discount. Miss Bai only needs to pay 550,000 for everything."
Upon hearing this, Bai Hanyun transferred 200,000 yuan to Li Dagou via WeChat and said, "Boss Li, I have already transferred the deposit, and I will transfer the rest to you after I receive the goods."
Seeing the transfer notification, Li Dagou quickly accepted it and promised, "Miss Bai, I will arrange the delivery as soon as possible."
"Alright. Thank you, Boss Li."
After hanging up, Bai Hanyun turned to the antique mirror on her bedside table and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"
A second later, the antique mirror glowed faintly in response.
Noticing how dim the light was, she frowned and asked, "Why are you glowing so dimly? Are you sick?"
The mirror flickered dimly twice in reply.
At this sight, Bai Hanyun’s frown deepened. Looking at the antique mirror thoughtfully, she muttered, "Even a mirror can get sick now?"
Picking up the antique mirror, she looked into the surface and saw Feng Xiyan still kneeling before the mirror.
Bai Hanyun then tapped the antique mirror’s frame twice, waiting for the surface to change. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing changed.
Seeing this, Bai Hanyun tapped the antique mirror’s frame again and waited. But still, nothing happened.
Starting to worry, Bai Hanyun murmured, "No way... Are you really sick? How am I supposed to contact Feng Xiyan now if you are sick?"
