Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

The manager's words sounded nice, but Bi Youlong felt like he was being forced, and that they were clearly pressuring him by bringing up the auction.

If he doesn't pay today, the auction house will likely not only not let him off the hook, but all sorts of rumors will spread about him.

His reputation was not good, and the auction house was naturally prepared to punish him at any time.

"But as you all saw, it's obvious that Feng Tianci set a trap for me. This thing doesn't have that high a price, but he deliberately set the price so high. He did it on purpose. Can't you all see that?"

This was something Feng Tianci did on purpose, yet you want me to take the blame? Isn't that a bit too much of a bully?

The manager's smile faded. He knew someone had set a trap, but it was an open secret at the auction, and everyone who participated knew it in their hearts.

It's because you've offended people in the past. Of course, our auction house would never deliberately embarrass you in this regard.

"Sir, there's a reason to speak. I know you might have raised the price because of your opponent, but we're all adults here. This is your own price increase, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If you insist on being reasonable, then it's just a personal matter between you two. It doesn't concern the auction. Once an item is sold at an auction, you have to pay for it."

How can we blame all these factors on the auction house? If it's so unreasonable, then there's really no reason in this world.

As the butler repeatedly emphasized this, Bi Youlong felt as if he had been slapped in the face repeatedly. How could anyone do things like this? This was clearly an attempt to embarrass him.

"Very well, you brought this on yourselves. You insisted on offending me. Even if I hand over the items, you'll still be in trouble."

After he finished speaking, the butler just smiled and said, "We'll see what happens to us, but today, no matter what, you have to hand over the money."

Bi Youlong knew that several projects would definitely have to be stopped, but no matter what, he had to allocate a certain amount of money today, so he could only pay the money with a sense of frustration.

“You are so generous, sir. We’ll be going now. Your name will definitely be on the next charity list. And please keep this bead safe. Wishing you good fortune.”

The butler left as he wished. After he left, Bi Youlong slammed his fist on the table and said he wished himself good fortune. In reality, he was being sarcastic, saying that he had misjudged the treasure and bought a piece of junk.

"Old man, how dare you mock me? And Feng Tianci might have set me up because of the auction house. The auction house looks like a facade, but who knows what they might be up to? Who knows if they might be pulling some tricks behind the scenes?"

He was so angry while he was speaking that his back teeth were itching. He really couldn't understand why the other person was being so unreasonable.

When Feng Tianci learned that the butler had come out and saw the joy on the butler's face, he probably understood that the butler had gotten his wish.

Feng Tianci's smile touched the old man, who understood that his grandson was seeking revenge. The two were sworn enemies, and he would not interfere in anything; he would only help his grandson.

"Is there anything you want to buy today? Even though you haven't seen anything you like, the auction is already halfway through, and it's a charity auction, so we have to bid on at least a few things. Otherwise, it will damage our reputations." Even if they don't want anything, donating the money in the end won't give anyone any reason to accuse them. Besides, their orphanage has just been established in this city. If someone finds something wrong with it, the orphanage's operation will definitely not be easy.

After his grandfather reminded him, Feng Tianci thought about it carefully. To be honest, he didn't have anything he wanted to buy yet. But his grandfather was right. If they didn't buy anything, their orphanage would definitely become the target of everyone's criticism. How could those people possibly let the orphanage go?

“Grandpa, I’ve thought about it carefully. Next, I’ll look at the treasures. If they’re suitable, we’ll buy them. The treasures in front of us are probably all artificial, like jewelry, which don’t really have any effect. The purpose of my coming to this auction is to buy you something to protect you.”

So Feng Tianci had already given the old man a lot, and the little frog had brought back quite a lot as well. But since Feng Tianci had already participated in this auction, he absolutely could not leave empty-handed.

So for the next while, Feng Tianci patted a cane.

The wood of this cane is quite good, and most importantly, there's a gem on it that can provide the old man with some energy.

"Why are you taking pictures of this? I wanted you to take some pictures of yourself. I'm an old man, why would I need to take pictures of these things? Actually, I have quite a few canes at home. Although they can provide energy, I'm already almost fully recovered thanks to your medication. Why waste your money?"

Although the old man was talking, he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly told the butler to put away his own cane, because he wanted to use the cane that his grandson had bought for him, which definitely had a different meaning.

Seeing the old man happy, the butler knew that Feng Tianci meant well, but he didn't know if the old man could accept it.

“Grandpa, I know you want to keep this with you forever, but it seems the young master is still buying you things. Didn’t you say he’s out fighting and doesn’t have much money? Why don’t we pay for it?”

The housekeeper was worried that Feng Tianci definitely wouldn't have the money to buy these things. Once he did, Feng Tianci would definitely be restricted from buying his own things in the future.

Feng Tianci had already overheard the butler's whispers. He knew they were worried he wouldn't have enough money to buy it, but Feng Tianci had never spent much of his wealth.

Almost all the treasures around him were found and brought back for him by the little frog.

Therefore, Feng Tianci is not short of money at all. In addition, he recently cleared out his warehouse and sold some things, so his assets are actually quite substantial.

"Don't worry, I really don't need money. If I did need money, I would tell everyone. Besides, I haven't even used much of the money I have on me yet."

After Feng Tianci refused, the butler could only smile helplessly. Feng Tianci was a filial son, and he knew this in his heart. Moreover, the old man was standing by and didn't interfere, so he must know that the young master must have some ability.

"Then I'm truly fortunate to have had this opportunity today," the old man said with a smile. (End of Chapter)
