After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 578 Participating in the Auction
Not to mention how scared the man with the gold chain was, the old cat was really scared silly.
Who is Xu Bo'an? He is my benefactor, my great supporter and my God of Wealth.
The reason why I can have the business I have today is because of Xu Bo'an's support along the way.
Now someone under his command actually turned against Tian Gang and used him to threaten Xu Bo'an. It was like an old man eating arsenic because he was disgusted with having lived too long.
If Xu Bo'an really got angry, not only would the blind guy under his command have a hard time, but he himself would also be in big trouble.
After all, it is hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are many people with two legs.
The business of sand and gravel does not require much technological content and anyone can do it. I don't have any monopoly advantages at all.
"Asshole! Who is so blind as to cause trouble for me?" Old Cat smashed the ashtray next to him to the ground.
The driver who was having dinner with Brother Mao was also startled when he saw this and asked hurriedly: "Brother Mao, what's wrong?"
The old cat shouted with a gloomy face: "Right now, call me and find someone to see if that bastard doesn't want to live a good life anymore and wants to drag me into bankruptcy with him."
Brother Mao's driver asked in confusion: "This...Brother Mao, what are you talking about? What on earth happened?"
The old cat said viciously: "Boss Xu just called me and said someone used me to pressure him, saying that he didn't even recognize my cousin Brother Cat! You can tell how disappointed he is."
When Brother Mao’s driver heard this, he was stunned.
Challenging Mr. Xu, Brother Mao’s people?
Wow, this is a way to make money!
If Brother Mao is rejected by Mr. Xu, life will be difficult for me as a driver.
Thinking of this, Brother Mao's driver gnashed his teeth and immediately stood up and said, "Brother Mao, don't worry, I will go and find him right away. I will find this person today."
Brother Mao glanced at the driver who was only a few years younger than him and said bluntly, "Today? No, ten minutes! If I wait too long, I'm afraid Mr. Xu will even think of someone to replace me."
The driver was stunned. Ten minutes!
Brother Mao has at least thirty to fifty people under him, if not a hundred or eighty. And these are just the brothers he can trust. If you add in the hired workers from various places, there will be more than three to five hundred people.
He couldn't even finish making the call in ten minutes.
Seeing the embarrassment on the driver's face, Brother Mao said, "Go out and find two people to call our brothers and ask only two things. One is where they are now, and the second is that I want to see them within ten minutes. If they can't come, please call me to explain."
The driver's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, this is a good idea.
The first question is to confirm the location, and the second requirement is more clever. Brother Mao only needs to communicate with those who cannot come, which saves a lot of time invisibly.
"Okay, Brother Cat, I understand. I'll do it right away!" Soon, the driver went out to work.
After this incident, Brother Mao was no longer in the mood to eat.
After thinking about it, he decided to secretly find out some information to be sure of it. He remembered that he had met Liu Quan, the office director of Dongjiang Erjian, several times at dinner parties before, and Liu Quan was also Xu Boan's right-hand man, so he should be able to find out some information.
Thinking of this, Brother Mao immediately found Liu Quan's phone number and called him.
……
In the security department meeting room of Wanda Plaza, the man with the gold chain revealed a smile uglier than crying when he heard Xu Bo'an's question.
"Mr. Xu... Mr. Xu, I know I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. Please spare my life."
Xu Boan was unmoved. This kind of thing made Xu Boan really angry and he would not let him off easily.
Xu Boan said nothing, and the man with the big gold chain became even more frightened. He immediately ran back to his car.
Xu Boan looked at the old cat's name coldly and said, "Don't answer it. It'll make him anxious to death."
After hearing what Xu Boan said, Liu Quan naturally didn't dare to answer the phone.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan hung up the phone directly, but he still kept an eye on it and replied to Brother Mao: "I am with my boss and cannot answer the phone. I will contact you later."
After all, Xu Boan is not afraid of Brother Mao, but Liu Quan still doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Lao Mao. After all, both of them are Xu Boan's people, and it would not be good if the relationship is too bad. Unless Xu Boan makes it clear that he wants to break off relations with Lao Mao, Liu Quan will be able to join the team.
Even though the old cat didn't come over, the sound of the old cat was scary enough.
Because Xu Bo'an's identity was revealed, the people on the opposite side were dumbfounded. They all expressed remorse for a while, and Chang Liang also apologized sincerely.
Xu Bo'an was too lazy to argue with them, so he just asked Shi Changliang for his opinion and then stopped interfering in the matter.
Xu Boan believed that the old cat would give him a satisfactory explanation.
Sure enough, Lao Mao soon found out who had offended Xu Boan.
Ten minutes later, the old cat appeared in person and took the man away.
It’s just that Xu Bo’an had already left, so he didn’t pay any attention to the old cat.
After dealing with this matter, Xu Bo'an went home.
Malu temporarily lived in the guesthouse of Dongjiang Erjian. Xu Boan originally asked him to go home and live with him, but the boy refused no matter what.
Xu Boan did not force it. After all, living in someone else's house might make the person feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of the four years when he shared a dormitory with his roommate in college, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It is really not easy for a person to make a few friends who can be brought home in his life.
As soon as Xu Bo'an entered the house, he received a call from Zhao Yuntao.
Zhao Yuntao is a partner of an auction house in Dongjiang City. Xu Bo'an's previous cliff cypress was sold through Zhao Yuntao's auction house.
The relationship between the two has always been pretty good.
When Zhao Yuntao heard Xu Boan answered the phone, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Brother, we are planning to hold a charity auction tomorrow, and 10% of the auction price will be donated to the welfare home. I wonder if you are interested in participating?" Xu Boan was originally very caring, and thinking of the fact that Zhao Yuntao had helped him a lot, it was only right for him to go and support him.
Anyway, I have enough money now, so I might as well participate.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan agreed.
Zhao Yuntao was very happy to hear Xu Boan agreed. He told Xu Boan the time of the charity auction, exchanged a few words with Xu Boan, and then hung up the phone.
The next morning, Xu Bo'an drove to Zhao Yuntao's auction.
As soon as I got off the bus, I heard someone honking the horn behind me.
Xu Boan frowned slightly and looked sideways, he saw that the window of the car was rolled down, it was Tang Xiaohu and Tang Miaomiao who were greeting Xu Boan.
Xu Boan smiled and said, "You are here to attend the auction as well, what a coincidence."
Tang Xiaohu laughed and said, "Yes, brother. Maybe we are destined to be together."
Lin Miaomiao also greeted with a smile: "Brother!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and nodded, saying, "Give my regards to your father."
Lin Miaomiao laughed and said, "My dad was talking to me about you yesterday. He was originally going to come today, but he had to deal with some things at the last minute, so unfortunately he didn't make it. If he knew you were coming, he would definitely regret it. Haha."
Xu Bo'an smiled and shook his head, saying, "Business is more important, let him do his thing, we have plenty of time together, come on, come down, let's go in together."
Soon, Tang Xiaohu and Lin Miaomiao got out of the car and walked towards the auction with Xu Boan.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw several people coming from the other direction. The leading man saw Tang Xiaohu and Lin Miaomiao and said with a sneer on his face, "Hey, isn't this our contractor friend? Miaomiao, why don't you find a contractor and go out for a picnic? Why come here to waste time?"
The man was dressed very elite-style. Not only was he wearing a suit and tie, but his face was also groomed, making him look a little whiter than the average person.
Xu Boan has always been too lazy to dress up except for washing his face and brushing his teeth. The moment he saw this man, the first word that came to his mind was "pretty boy".
Lin Miaomiao said with an unpleasant expression: "What nonsense are you talking about? My husband is an engineer, not a contractor."
The pretty boy looked at Xu Bo'an provocatively and said, "Aren't they all the same? If you ask me, most of the things in the auction house are antiques. How can a contractor like you understand these things?"
Tang Xiaohu sneered and said, "I don't understand, but you do? You are a turtle who has only been out there, how can you understand the history of our Chinese nation?"
The pretty boy said disdainfully: "Anyway, I know more than you. Words are not enough. If you are not convinced, let's make a bet and see who can take pictures of more valuable things. Do you dare?"
Tang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, who dares not? Let's bet, it's all about probability. I don't believe your luck can be better than mine!"
The pretty boy laughed and said, "Well, you are worthy of being the man that Miaomiao likes. You are responsible. In this case, then let's settle this matter. Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back!"
Tang Xiaohu said honestly: "A real man will stick to his words and never regret it."
The pretty boy said pretentiously, "Hey, that's what I said, don't be so rude. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. See, do you see that old gentleman? He is my teacher. He used to be the dean of the School of Archaeology of Jiangzhou University. Now he is retired and is a standing committee member of our Jiangzhou Archaeological Association."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaohu frowned and said unhappily, "What do you mean? Didn't we agree to make a bet? Why are you dragging others into this?"
The pretty boy smiled and said, "Haha, what do you mean by others? He is my teacher. Besides, we are here together. And when did I say that we cannot hire outside help? You can hire someone if you want. I am not restricting you."
Tang Xiaohu said, "You're trying to be naughty with me, right? Is that fun?"
The pretty boy said proudly, "Haha, what's wrong? Are you feeling guilty? Don't you dare to make a bet? Who was the one who just said so arrogantly that a real man can stick to his words? Now you're scared now?"
The pretty boy's face was full of pride. Just now when he was chatting with Tang Xiaohu, he deliberately did not explain the relevant rules clearly. To put it bluntly, he set a trap for the other party to fall into. He didn't expect that this guy was so stupid and was fooled so easily.
Tang Xiaohu's face looked very ugly. In the current situation, even a fool would know that I was not in an advantageous position. If I chose to bet again, I would most likely lose!
But if she didn't agree to the bet, the other party would have something to say about her, which would make Lin Miaomiao lose face.
Xu Boan had been watching the two of them as a bystander. Originally, he was too lazy to interrupt. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him, and it involved jealousy, which Tang Xiaohu needed to face alone.
But seeing that the pretty boy was being shady, Xu Bo'an couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xiao Hu, what they said is right. How can a real man be so cowardly at this moment? Don't let me look down on you. It's just a bet, it's just a matter of money. If you don't have enough, I'll support you a little."
"Brother, this is not about money, I..."
Tang Xiaohu was about to explain to Xu Boan helplessly, when he saw a hint of confidence in Xu Boan's eyes. After all, Tang Xiaohu had been with Xu Boan for so long, and there was still a tacit understanding between the two.
Although he didn't know why Xu Boan was so confident, Tang Xiaohu still chose to believe Xu Boan.
So, Tang Xiaohu changed his tone and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll bite the bullet and bet with him. But if I don't have enough money, you really have to lend me some."
Xu Boan acted and said, "I can lend you anything. With our relationship, it's getting awkward if we talk about this."
The pretty boy opposite couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the deep brotherly love between the two.
Haha, a pair of brothers in distress, still dreaming of pretending to be cool at this time. They are just two construction site dogs, why are they trying to be literary and artistic here? Let's see if you can still laugh later.
He thought so in his heart, but of course he couldn't express it out loud. The pretty boy smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll make it a deal. We'll see how it works later."
After the pretty boy left, Tang Xiaohu and Xu Bo'an explained softly, "Brother, that guy was Miaomiao's classmate. Miaomiao and her classmates took me to their class reunion before, and that guy has always looked down on me. Later I found out that he was Miaomiao's suitor, but Miaomiao looked down on him, which made him look down on me even more."
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "I see. You are quite capable. It's not easy for a rough guy like you to snatch a returnee. I have to help you no matter what. It's not for the money, but for the reputation."
Half an hour later, the auction officially opened.
Zhao Yuntao was the host of the event. He first read out the relevant rules as usual, and then a formal notary read out the notarized documents, and the auction began.
After a while, a tall woman in cheongsam brought out the first item of the auction.
This is a porcelain bowl that looks very old. A brief introduction is also in the detailed manual in everyone's hand. According to the introduction above, this bowl was used by a certain Buddha in the Qing Dynasty. Later, it was awarded to a certain eunuch, and then it was passed down as a family heirloom by the eunuch. (End of this chapter)
