"That typewriter will never be put up for auction again." Chen Yiyang confidently answered Zhang Yuling.
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yuling joked, "Did you meet some underworld boss over there who can just grab things for you?"
"Not at all." Chen Yiyang sent a photo of the Mingkuai Typewriter to Zhang Yuling and replied, "Because I've already bought it."
"Impressive." Zhang Yuling was genuinely impressed this time. "Don't tell me you rushed over to buy it right after seeing that photo online, before the owner even knew what it was."
"That's not the case." Chen Yiyang didn't elaborate further, instead leading Zhang Yuling to guess he arrived at the photo owner's location shortly after seeing the picture and paid a steep price to secure the purchase.
This way, Zhang Yuling could relay the story to her clients, enabling Chen Yiyang to request favors from them.
Otherwise, if something is bought too easily, the other party might offer a lower price.
