“It’s actually not that big of a deal. My visit to Yulou Ancient Town this time is to buy top-quality jade stones. That jade pendant was just an unexpected joy I stumbled upon—the main jade stones I’m after, I haven’t found yet,” Xu Fan said to Wang Fangtong.
“Oh? What kind of quality are you looking for in jade stones, my young friend?” Wang Fangtong asked about jade stones, a touch of gentle confidence appearing on her face.
“The higher the quality, the better, no upper limit!” Xu Fan said with certainty.
“My young friend, you’ve come to the right place. Yulou Ancient Town has an antique auction tonight, where collectors from all over the country will gather. There will definitely be good items, and the sponsor of the auction is none other than our Zangyu Tower. Would you be interested in checking out the auction?” Wang Fangtong asked with interest.
“What a coincidence, I really would like to take a look.” Xu Fan’s interest piqued, as auctions often had good items up for grabs. Many treasures he used to get in the Cultivation World were found at auctions, so he was very intrigued by the auction Wang Fangtong mentioned.
“Since you want to go, tonight at eight, just head directly to Yu Lou Grand Hotel’s fifth-floor venue in Yulou Ancient Town—that’s where the auction will be held. Remember to bring enough money, though; the items might be excellent, but they don’t come cheap,” Wang Fangtong said as she pulled out two gold-embossed invitations from her desk and handed them to Xu Fan.
“These are the invitations for tonight’s event; just bring these to get in,” she added.
“Thank you, Boss Wang,” Xu Fan said, clasping his fist in gratitude.
“No need to thank me!” Wang Fangtong responded with a reciprocal gesture and asked curiously, “I hope I’m not being presumptuous, but I have to ask—are you a martial artist by any chance?”
“Correct!” Xu Fan nodded, not bothering to hide it.
“Haha, I can’t believe I, Wang Fangtong, finally have a martial artist friend, and such a young one at that,” Wang Fangtong said somewhat sentimentally.
“There’s no need for formality, Boss Wang. I, Xu Fan, also acknowledge you as a friend. If you ever encounter any trouble and need my help, feel free to reach out,” Xu Fan said with a smile, taking out his cellphone to exchange contact information with Wang Fangtong.
“Then I’ll head down now, see you at the auction tonight,” Xu Fan said, nodding to Wang Fangtong as he stood up to leave.
“Won’t you stay a little longer, have a cup of tea?” Wang Fangtong insisted.
“I really am swamped with too many matters to stay long,” Xu Fan replied lightly.
“Well, the third floor has a lot of artifacts that are much better than those on the first and second floors. Wouldn’t you want to pick and see?” Seeing Xu Fan about to leave, Wang Fangtong didn’t hold him back but mentioned the third floor’s artifacts, hoping Xu Fan would stay a bit longer at Zangyu Tower.
“I’ve already looked over them when I was upstairs; nothing caught my eye for now. After tonight’s auction, if I don’t manage to find any good items, I’ll come and bother you then, Boss Wang.” Xu Fan had already stood up and gestured a farewell to Wang Fangtong.
“Alright, then I won’t keep you any longer,” Wang Fangtong said, seeing Xu Fan determined to leave, and stood up to escort Xu Fan and Zhao Dong out.
Just as they reached the second floor, a customer who had been standing there suddenly stopped Wang Fangtong.
“Elder Wang, the jade stone lion you picked out for me doesn’t really suit my taste, so I choose to reject it,” the customer said firmly to Wang Fangtong.
“`
Actually, he was very satisfied with the jade lion pendant; however, when he saw Xu Fan reject Wang Fangtong and then receive an extremely courteous treatment, he assumed Wang Fangtong might have a masochistic tendency, enjoying being rejected, so he deliberately stepped forward to act with Wang Fangtong.
Upon seeing him holding the jade lion with an expression that clearly wanted to take advantage, a cold gleam immediately flickered in Wang Fangtong’s eyes.
When Xu Fan rejected her, he truly stood by his own opinion, completely unaffected by her influence. What she appreciated was Xu Fan’s unique insight.
Yet this person was obviously seeking attention, so without giving him a second glance, she directly took the lifelike jade lion from his hands.
“Instruct Manager Fang, since this gentleman isn’t satisfied with my recommendation, help him with the refund. Also, cancel his VIP card. From now on, Zangyu Tower will no longer do business with this gentleman. Salesperson, please proceed with the formalities and show this gentleman out,” said Wang Fangtong coldly to the customer.
The other customers who were surrounding the scene looking forward to the spectacle suddenly shivered when they heard Wang Fangtong’s words. The disparity in treatment was just too damn big.
Fortunately, I didn’t rush to be the first to act; otherwise, I would have been the unlucky one.
“Boss Wang, that’s not what I meant, I just…” The customer who had just negotiated with Wang Fangtong changed pale when he heard her words. The jade lion was recommended to him by Wang Fangtong for its effect in enhancing one’s authority. Ever since he wore the jade lion, his work progressed exceedingly smoothly, and his subordinates were very convinced by him.
He was actually very satisfied with the jade lion, it was just that he wanted to use rejection to increase Wang Fangtong’s favor, not expecting it to backfire instead.
He hastily explained to Wang Fangtong.
Unexpectedly, Wang Fangtong didn’t pay any attention to his explanation. With a flick of her sleeve, she descended the stairs with Xu Fan and Zhao Dong, leaving behind only two cold words.
“Send off!”
The customer was left with a conflicted face, surrounded by others who reveled in his misfortune.
Xu Fan and Zhao Dong didn’t concern themselves with the minor incident upstairs. Upon reaching the ground floor, the Hanfu-clad salesperson who had initially assisted Xu Fan also elegantly approached, handing over a luxurious Shu brocade pouch that contained the jade pendant necklace Xu Fan had requested.
The pouch was embroidered with the Zangyu Tower logo; the Shu embroidery material alone was probably worth thousands, which also reflected the true heritage of Zangyu Tower. Even a packaging bag was a work of art, let alone the product inside which was even more extraordinary.
Xu Fan accepted the pouch, bid farewell to Wang Fangtong, and then started his car, slowly leaving the Zangyu Tower parking lot.
Watching the car bearing the license plate number 666, Wang Fangtong couldn’t help but feel moved. This young man’s identity was probably astonishing, in addition to being a Martial Artist.
Wang Fangtong then entered Zangyu Tower and said to the manager, Manager Fang, “Did you see those two people just now? From now on, they are our top-tier VIPs in Zangyu Tower. If they come, they must receive the very best service.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Manager Fang nodded repeatedly in a hurry.
