“I’m very sorry!”

The three words suddenly came out of the young man’s mouth, and he lightly lifted his head and forced out an embarrassed smile for Chu Xian. “Brother, thank you.”

After that, he directly left and exited the building.

“Wait!” Chu Xian was stunned, and quickly walked over and pulled back his shoulder. “What are you apologizing to me for? Wait, give me a few minutes!”

“Heng!” That woman also realized that she had been too overboard, but she turned and laughed scornfully. She pointed out another one of the young men and said: “You, follow me. Everyone else can leave!”

“Wait!” Chu Xian took out his phone and called out coldly to the beauty.

“What? You want to phone somone? Who do you think you are? Holding that shitty bag, do you believe that I won’t call security to send you out!” When she heard Chu Xian’s words, the beauty was stunned, and when he took out his phone, she immediately spat out angry words.

“Brother.” The young man shifted Chu Xian’s arm away from his shoulder and smiled embarrassedly.

The people around them frowned. Some of them were displeased with the beauty’s words, and others look at Chu Xian unhappily. With his plastic bag in hand and cellphone in the other, they felt like he was faking it!

Chu Xian looked at the woman and laughed coldly. “Let’s see whether you’ll be the one kicked out or if I will!”

“Hey!”

Gu Li’s voice answered the phone!

Chu Xian placed the phone by his ear. “When will you get here, brother Gu?

“Soon, soon. We’re five minutes away, Xiao Xian. I’m really sorry. How about I have my assistant bring you to my office!”

“If you aren’t here, I’ll be kicked out!” Chu Xian replied directly.

Gu Li was stunned, and then his expression turned into embarrassment. “Fuck me, what is going on. Xiao Xian, I’m really sorry. I’ll make a call. I’ll be right there, I’m almost there!”

“Hu, okay Big Brother Gu. It’s just some small matters, I’ll have to trouble you!” Chu Xian nodded and hung up the phone. He patted the young man’s shoulder and gestured for him to sit back down.

“What? Finished your call?” The beauty looked at him with disdain.

Chu Xian didn’t reply and sat down quietly.

“Che!” The beauty turned away and called out. “You all, come with me!”

“May I ask which gentleman is Mr. Chu!”

Suddenly, a fat middle aged man came running out of an office by the hall, cold sweat dripping down his face. His loud voice filled the hall.

“May I ask which gentleman is Mr. Chu!” The middle aged man saw Chu Xian and the group around him and immediately walked over, asking again.

The beauty was stunned, and asked in surprise. “Manager Du, who are you looking for?”

“He is looking for me!” Chu Xian leaned back slightly on the couch. “I am Chu Xian!”

“Hello, Mr. Chu, hello!” The middle aged man was somewhat confused, and hurriedly rushed over. “May I ask if there is some way we have not made you feel welcome today?”

“Then you should ask this woman!” Chu Xian looked over at the beauty, and calmly replied.

“This. Miss Ru Fun is it. I’ll need you to wait here for a moment!” The middle aged man could guess most of the proceedings, and looked over at the beauty. “Mr. Gu will be here very soon!”

The woman was astonished, and her expression changed. “Manager Du, what are you saying?”

“Which gentleman is Mr. Du?” At that moment, another voice filled the hall, and an old man walked over anxiously. He looked around at the people, and his eyes landed on Chu Xian.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Chu?”

“Mr. Li”

“Mr. Li.”

Beside him, Manager Du and Ru Run both greeted respectfully, and the latter wore a face of extreme embarrassment.

“I am, hello!” Chu Xian nodded at the man.

“I am very sorry. Very sorry with how things have gone today. Mr. Gu has asked me to invite Mr. Chu upstairs, and I promise we will answer things to your satisfaction today if we have given you a bad experience!”

Mr. Li replied immediately, and then looked at the woman named Ru Run. “What happened here?”

“I…” She lowered her paling face.

“Okay, say no more. Go to HR and get your severance!” Mr. Li said directly, and then turned back and smiled at Chu Xian. “Mr. Chu, we are very sorry for this. Our company’s Mr. Gu will be here very soon, and you can wait more comfortably in his office!”

“Alright!” Chu Xian nodded, and then put his hand on the young man’s shoulder. “Mr. Li, this is my friend, he heard that you are hosting an auction and came here to sign up.”

“Haha, not a problem, not a problem. We are hiring models right now. If Mr. Chu’s friend is willing, he can come over and work for us full time.” Mr. Li nodded without hesitation.

Chu Xian smiled at him. “Thank you, Mr. Li.”

“Hai, this is a small matter, a small matter.” Mr. Li waved his hand. “Let us go, Mr. Chu. We can speak more upstairs.”

“En!” Chu Xian nodded, and glanced back at the woman. His anger was mostly gone.

“Big brother!” Just as Chu Xian neared the elevator door, a childish voice called out from behind him.

Chu Xian smiled a small smile, and turned around to see Little Turtle running over. He walked up and opened his arms.

“Big brother, did you miss me!” Little Turtle threw himself over, and shouted in glee.

“I missed you, of course I missed the cute Little Turtle!” Chu Xian laughed and kissed his cheek.

“Xixi, I missed big brother as well. When will you take me fishing!”

“Eh…”

Chu Xian rubbed his head speechlessly.

“Xiao Xian, what happened? Today Little Turtle refused to get up, so we arrived a little late.” Gu Li and his wife saw Chu Xian playing with Little Turtle and relaxed, letting out a small sigh of relief. They called over happily.

“Nothing much, just some small matters. I lost my temper a little, but everything is fine!” Chu Xian shook his head. “That’s right, I brought a portion of the things you asked for. You can show them to your company’s people. The rest will be arriving in Jing Hai today.”

“Okay!” Gu Li nodded. “Since you’re here in Jing Hai, I need to properly take care of you. Let’s have a nice lunch, and then you can come over to my place tonight. My father wants to meet you, and to thank you in person!”

“Don’t trouble yourself for me. We can have a nice lunch today, but I won’t be able to make it for dinner. Apologize to your father for me, and i’ll be back for a longer stay tomorrow!”Chu Xian shook his head apologetically.

“Okay. Then we can wait until tomorrow or the day after. Let’s go. Let’s head upstairs first and then talk!” Gu Li nodded his head.

“Fuck me!”

A young man watching everything couldn’t help swear, his eyes wide open as he stared at the back of that young man.

The other people who had come to sign up also had mixed feelings, and looked from the young man leaving and the stunned arrogant beauty, to finally the astonished young man.

“One sentence changed the fates of two people. What a boss!”

A person exclaimed quietly.

….

“Big Brother Gu, I heard that your group is holding an auction?” After they’d walked a bit, and Chu Xian had time to admired the luxury decor in Gu Li’s office, he laughed and broached the topic.

“En, the Ancient Coin Auction belongs to our group and hosts auctions every month, with a big auction annually. Why, were you thinking of selling or buying?” Gu Li poured him a cup of tea and smiled.

“Sell. I want to sell some red corals!” Chu Xian replied.

“Red coral?” Gu Li paused in amazement. “These are some extremely expensive quality goods. How much do you have on hand?”

“About four kilograms!” Chu Xian smiled and answered.

“What? Four kilograms?” Gu Li exclaimed. “That’s at least fifty to sixty million. Brother, how many of these treasures do you have?”

“Eh…” Chu Xian looked at him speechlessly. “I just have this red coral, what othe treasure could I have. Will I be able to get a space at your auction?”

“Of course. Treasures like the red coral are extremely rare, and don’t often circulate. If you want to sell it, bring it over tomorrow. The auction starts tomorrow, and we can arrange your auction for the day after, and advertise a little beforehand!” Gu Li replied.

“That’s alright. I’m only planning on auctioning a portion of what I have, and keep the rest to make some jewelry!” Chu Xian answered.

“Of course, no problem. Do you need me to introduce you to a carving master?”

“Then I’ll trouble Big Brother Gu again!”

“Haha, it’s no trouble at all, no trouble at all!”

At noon, the two of them found a restaurant and ate and talked. That afternoon, the sea cucumbers arrived in Jing Hai, and Chu Xian and the others weight it all again. When that was done, Chu Xian got on a plane and returned to Hai Qing City.

For all the cucumbers, Gu Li offered a price of eighteen million rmb, a very high valuation.

The next morning, Chu Xian returned to Jing Hai by plane. Because he was planning on selling the red coral by auction, he didn’t have Zhang Xiaohua accompany him.

This time, Gu Li drove over and picked him up before bringing him directly to the Ancient Coin Auction House.

“This is our auction house, among the top three in all of Jing Hai. These two days will be the most important two days out of this entire year for Ancient Coin, and all of the items on auction are over a million rmb.”

The car stopped in front of a luxurious, ancient style building, and Gu Li explained the event to Chu Xian.

“It really is luxurious!” Chu Xian looked over the building. It was built to an extremely exquisite ancient design, and occupied at least four hundred square meters, and took up this prime real estate with with only a five floors tall building.

“Let’s go. We can go inside. The auction will start at around 9:30, and break for lunch at 11:30. After that, it’ll go from 2:00pm to 4:00, and then repeat the next day.”

Gu Li led him inside.

“Welcome!”

As soon as they walked inside, two beautiful attendants called out in welcome.

Chu Xian looked at on of the girls and recognized her from the group he’d sat with the other day.

That girl also peeked over at Chu Xian curiously.

“There are many decent items on auction today. You can look around and see if you like anything.” Gu Li took him to the top floor of the auction house and handed him an inventory from that was lying on a table. “Take a look!”

“I’m not very interested in these kinds of things!” Chu Xian smiled, and flipped through the inventory.

“Sir, please have some tea!”

At that moment, a man walked over and placed a cup of tea on the table beside Chu Xian.

Chu Xian paused a moment at the voice, and then lifted his head. He smiled at the young man from the day before and greeted him. “Hey, brother, how is it going. I hope work is going well.”

“Hehe, thank you. Thank you very much!” The young man smiled shyly, and said with gratitude.”

“Not a problem. Here, sit and talk.” Chu Xian smiled and replied.

“No, no. I am still working, hehe!” The young man shook his head timidly.

“This is the person you met yesterday?” Gu Li nodded at the young man kindly, and asked Chu Xian.

“Yes, he is a very decent brother!” Chu Xian nodded.

“Work hard!” Gu Li said to the young man.
