Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Trouble Lending Me Four Million
Tong Qingyan relayed the waiter’s words back to Bai Chuwei as they were spoken, feeling inexplicably pleased deep down.
Tong Yunrou also looked at Bai Chuwei with concern, and added, “Chuwei, your aunt and I were also friends in the past; naturally, we should help you. You might not be aware of the background of Hongmeng Auction House, but if they find out you’ve played them, you won’t come out unscathed. Qingyan and I can lend you a bit of money.”
Bai Chuwei looked at the two of them with interest, her lips parting slightly, “Is that so? Then, could you trouble yourselves by lending me four million?”
Even for the two of them, this amount was no small sum! How could they possibly lend it just like that?
And didn’t the No. 03 private room only buy one piece of auction item, a jade stone worth one and a half million? How did it suddenly become four million?
Bai Chuwei observed the two’s awkward expressions and said nonchalantly, “Don’t tell me you two were only prepared to lend me a couple of tens of thousands?”
Bai Chuwei sighed, “Didn’t Aunt Tong say she was a good friend of my aunt? It’s fine if you don’t help me, but why come here and kick me while I’m down?”
Tong Yunrou and Tong Qingyan faced the pointing and murmuring crowd around them; their faces turned dark.
Who exactly is kicking who while they’re down?
Wasn’t it you, Bai Chuwei, who sent someone to curse the Tong Family with bankruptcy within a few days?
Bai Chuwei, followed by a group of impatient bodyguards, walked towards the third floor, casually dropping a sentence, “But the advice I gave you before, I wasn’t joking.”
The third floor of the auction house was quite different from the first and second floors; it resembled a European-style living room surrounded by lush green plants.
A short, chubby middle-aged man was enjoying a painting, a cigar hanging from his mouth.
In the center of the room was the piece of jade stone that the No. 03 private room had bid on, just placed inside a glass case.
Without even turning his head, the boss took a puff of his cigar and asked leisurely, “Young lady, instead of studying diligently at home, you come to my auction and make random bids. You even dare to see me? What do you want?”
Bai Chuwei replied, “To make a business deal.”
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Bai Chuwei. After a flash of amazement in his eyes, he burst into laughter, tears nearly spilling from the corners of his eyes, “Business deal?”
“Young lady, do you know who you’re talking to? How old are you? You dare to do business with me?”
The auction house owner coaxed patiently, “Young lady, I advise you to call your family to raise the money quickly. The auction items you bid on must be paid for. As for business, come back in ten or eight years and see if you can talk with me then?”
Bai Chuwei snorted lightly and pulled out a stack of yellow paper from her pocket, slapping it onto the glass table—!
With a “smack”, the glass table emitted a sharp sound.
The bodyguards around instantly tensed up, their eyes fixed on Bai Chuwei.
The auction house owner glanced over casually, thinking that while the young lady was beautiful, she seemed a bit lacking in brains.
When he took a closer look at the yellow paper on the table, his cigar dropped from his hand with a “plop” onto the carpet, burning a big hole with the embers.
Stunned, the owner looked at Bai Chuwei in disbelief, his voice trembling, “Talisman? Spirit Talisman?”
Where did this young lady get a Spirit Talisman?
And a whole stack of them, no less, like unwanted draft papers from a student! Find the newest release on NoveIꜰire.net
Bai Chuwei looked at the shocked middle-aged man, her lips curling slightly, “Mr. Li, do you think we can talk about this business deal now?”
