I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Chapter 228 The Second Auction

Li Huaide was on guard against him. Not only did he not receive the invitation, but all merchants who had business dealings with Lou Xiao'e also did not receive the invitation.

Little did people know that Ye Ming had business connections with more than 80% of the wealthy people in the city, so he easily gained admission.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, there is only one day left until the auction.

The entire city is talking about the upcoming auction held by Foley Auction House.

People are still fresh in their memory of the debate before the Lantern Festival, which also brought some hot topics to this auction.

The wealthy people who participated in Jin Changsheng’s internal auction last time also actively spread the good reviews of Foley Auction House, which invisibly increased the popularity of this auction.

Today, customers dining at Jin Changsheng Restaurant are more or less talking about tomorrow's auction.

Since the last internal auction, Jin Changsheng has benefited from it and attracted many wealthy repeat customers.

Su Meng was quite proud of that decision.

"Uncle, are we still going to participate in this second auction?" Su Meng asked Uncle Liu in the office.

Although they had already received the tickets for the auction, for them who already had a large collection of antiques, there seemed to be no reason to attend.

"Of course we have to participate. The prices at the auction can reflect the market conditions. After we purchased those antiques last time, we have been under considerable financial pressure. If the price is right, we can consider selling one or two pieces." Uncle Liu's eyes were shining with anticipation.

The last internal auction was already so grand, what kind of spectacular scene will this Foley auction present?

“That’s true. If possible, I’d still be reluctant to sell those antiques I just bought.

I remember Li Huaide said that the value of these antiques would only be revealed after a year, and I think this makes sense." Su Meng recalled the conversation with Li Huaide and was reluctant to sell the antiques easily.

If Jin Changsheng's business had not been booming in the past month, alleviating some of the financial pressure, she and Uncle Liu would not have been so relaxed.

In the new year, new business projects and projects will require a lot of financial support, and financial pressure will only increase.

"Be willing to give up, only by giving up can you gain.

Now that we have climbed up the big tree of Li Huaide, it will only take a word to get as many antiques as we want in the future." Uncle Liu said in a casual tone.

On the other side, the dilapidated marquis’ mansion.

"Are you going to attend the auction held by Foley Auction House?" When Hou Palan heard what Uncle Guan was planning, his expression tightened.

"That's right!" Uncle Guan filled a glass of wine with a mellow aroma.

"Are you hiding something from me? Ye Ming has been elusive lately. Are you going to close the net?" Hou Polan also gulped down a glass of wine to calm his anxiety.

He and Uncle Guan have always been both master and disciple and friends. Now he is the only one who has been kept in the dark, so he is naturally unhappy.

"Here's an invitation. You'll know if you come with me tomorrow. Ye Ming will also be there. As for the specific arrangements, I'm just as unclear as you are about them." Uncle Guan handed Hou Polan an invitation, which made Hou Polan even more confused about what would happen on that day.

"Forget it, I can't get anything from you. I'll go ask Ye Ming." Hou Polan immediately stood up and prepared to go find Ye Ming.

"Sit down!" Uncle Guan stopped him, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just listen to what I have to say."

In fact, Hou Pulan didn't really want to look for Ye Ming, he just couldn't stand Uncle Guan keeping him in suspense.

He still poured a glass of wine for Uncle Guan.

“If you go to Ye Ming now, he may not tell you. Just wait patiently until tomorrow, and then everything will be revealed.

I had a clue about this matter ten days ago, but I didn't tell you for a reason." Uncle Guan tried to calm the broken man down.

"Are you afraid that I can't keep my mouth shut?" Marquis Polan was a little unconvinced.

Uncle Guan already knew he was going to the auction ten days ago, so why did he only take out the invitation now?

"If I had told you earlier, wouldn't you be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan?" Uncle Guan narrowed his eyes and responded with a smile.

"That's all. I have nothing to say!"

Hou Paolan pondered his temper for a moment and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

If Ye Ming had told him ten days ago that he would attend an auction without explaining the reason, he would have pondered over it for days and nights.

In Guan’s parents’ living room.

"Do you think our dad will attend the auction tomorrow?"

Guan's father suddenly mentioned this matter.

"How is that possible? You are well aware of the dispute between Changze Auction House and Fulai Auction House. In my opinion, it would be considered as a gentleman if he didn't spit at Fulai Auction House!"

Guan's mother responded with disdain.

She always thought that Mr. Guan was a stubborn and dogmatic man.

No matter how well the Foley Auction House is run, in his eyes, as long as it does not meet his requirements, it will be regarded as trash.

"It would be better if I didn't go. I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, and I always feel like something is going to happen."

Father Guan stroked his chest, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"What could possibly happen? Even if something happens, it won't affect the two of us."

Guan's mother looked indifferent.

In the neighboring courtyard.

Jia Zhang learned about the auction from Bang Geng.

"It's such a sin. We don't even have a decent place to live. How can they have so much money to bid for antiques?"

Jia Zhang cursed a few words angrily.

Bang Geng, who was standing by, did not hear these words, but just stared blankly, holding the flyer tightly.

Seeing that Banggeng ignored her, Jia Zhang gradually calmed down and sat by the bed sewing shoe soles.

Yan family residence.

"This is the invitation letter from the Foley Auction House. I'll take you there tomorrow and you'll know why I insisted on buying that porcelain vase!"

Yan Jiecheng handed Yu Li an invitation letter in the room. The address she left during the last appraisal received the invitation.

"What catches your eyes!"

Yu Li took the admission ticket with a slightly unconvinced tone.

Recently, Yan Jiecheng often mentioned the Foley Auction House to her, which made her feel half-believing and half-doubting.

The eighth day of the second month is a good day to receive money.

Most residents of New Taipei City know that there will be a second auction held by Foley Auction House today.

A large crowd of people gathered in front of the Foley Auction House to watch the fun.

Unlike last time when he greeted guests at the door, this time Li Huaide sat down in the VIP seat early.

Around him sat many wealthy people from the city, chatting and laughing with each other.

Li Huaide is looking forward to this auction.

Unlike last time, this time he specially invited leaders from various industries, and the invitees came to show their support.

At the same time, he remained vigilant and, after learning of the relationship between Lou Xiao'e and Ye Ming, deliberately avoided contact with entrepreneurs related to the other party.

However, he did not know that Ye Ming had already taken his seat in the center of the auction.
