Chapter 43 Auctioneer Zou Muwan
Zhao Chengfeng was completely speechless.
Her chest heaved violently, and she looked at her son for a long time without saying a word.
Dai Hengxin also scratched his hair in annoyance, secretly regretting why he was so emotional.
After thinking for a while, he tried to soften his tone: "Mom, my auction company has just started, and it all depends on the things Xiao Yingchun brought out."
"If you don't want your son's company to go bankrupt before it even opens, I hope you don't interfere in the matter between Xiao Yingchun and me."
"Please, give Xiao Yingchun enough respect!"
This successfully stimulated Zhao Chengfeng: "Didn't I respect her? Did I say anything wrong to her when I came here today?"
"I just want you to bring your sister with you to dinner with the He family next time! What's wrong with that?"
Dai Hengxin scratched his head in annoyance: Indeed, Zhao Chengfeng didn't say anything wrong about Xiao Yingchun today, but her attitude of looking down on Xiao Yingchun successfully taught Dai Enning a lesson.
When she faces Xiao Yingchun in the future, she will definitely show it!
But all this has not happened yet, and he doesn't even have the right to accuse.
After circling back and forth twice, he suddenly decided to come clean: "Mom, I like Xiao Yingchun, and I want her to be my girlfriend."
Zhao Chengfeng was startled: "Huh?"
Dai Hengxin repeated, "I like Xiao Yingchun, and I want her to be my girlfriend."
Zhao Chengfeng was anxious: "Son, are you crazy? What's going on with her now? Do you understand?"
"Where did all those things come from? Do you understand?"
"After selling those things, how much will she keep for herself? How much will she give to the person behind her? Have you figured that out?"
"Also, the person behind her can come up with so many good things. How do you know if he's well-connected?"
"Have you considered the consequences of touching his woman?"
This barrage of questions left Dai Hengxin stunned.
He truly hadn't considered any of this.
But he wasn't after the money from Xiao Yingchun's antique sales...
Dai Hengxin was completely devastated, and he didn't even see his own mother off when she left.
After Xiaomei returned from sending Zhao Chengfeng off, she cautiously explained to Dai Hengxin, "Cousin, I didn't mean to do that. It's just that my aunt told me to tell her everything..."
Dai Hengxin waved his hand, dismissing the idea. But in his heart, he'd decided: Xiaomei would be gone after the auction.
Why keep an employee who tries to please both sides and betrays her boss?
Wouldn't that exacerbate family conflict?!
He sat unassumingly in his chair, his feet propped up on his desk, lost in thought.
His mother was right: Where did Xiao Yingchun's stuff come from?
What was her relationship to the man behind her?
Was she so adamant about rejecting him because of him?
Dai Hengxin covered his face with his hands, feeling hopeless about his future.
...
Xiao Yingchun, oblivious to all this, returned home and immediately opened the shop, beginning her half-day job.
For the next few days, Xiao Yingchun acted like any other small shop owner: opening the shop, ordering takeout, or cooking her own meals, and then closing it down for the night.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and finally it was the first day of the auction.
Dai Hengxin came to pick up Xiao Yingchun on time at around 4:00 p.m.: the auction would be held tomorrow, and she, Dai Hengxin, and He Liangcong needed to arrive early.
The three of them had to go through all the procedures and make sure everything was in good condition.
When Dai Hengxin picked up Xiao Yingchun, he looked at the light green cotton and linen skirt she was wearing and gently reminded her, "Tomorrow's occasion is very important. Let's go buy some clothes first?"
Xiao Yingchun looked down at her clothes and said, "Okay." An hour later, Dai Hengxin drove directly to Huizhou's best shopping mall and took Xiao Yingchun to a high-end Chinese clothing store. A
tall, slender waitress approached, "Sir, what kind of dress would you like for your girlfriend?"
"A cheongsam, the kind for a banquet. Something formal."
Dai Hengxin briefly explained his needs, and the waitress immediately directed Xiao Yingchun to the most expensive section.
"Madam, this one is a pure silk cheongsam, and this one is made of Xiangyunsha. Please try whichever one you like."
Xiao Yingchun eyed the distinctly dark cheongsams before her: she had never considered such clothing before.
However, remembering that many of the items for tomorrow's auction would be antique jewelry, Xiao Yingchun took the recommended items and said, "I'll try them all."
A moment later, Xiao Yingchun emerged from the fitting room, dressed in a cheongsam.
Dai Hengxin's eyes flickered with amazement at the graceful and gentle woman before him.
Xiao Yingchun tugged at the sleeves and hem of her dress and looked at herself in the mirror: surprisingly, she looked great.
She tried on a few more looks, and Dai Hengxin pointed to a crimson chiffon and a green silk dress and said, "Would you like to buy these two? And pair them with two pairs of shoes?"
Shoes were easy; matching sheepskin high heels would go perfectly.
"Waiter, take the bill,"
Dai Hengxin said, and was about to pay.
Xiao Yingchun was quick-witted: "If you want to pay, I won't."
Dai Hengxin paused, trying to persuade her: "You bought this for tomorrow's event, and it was my suggestion, so it's only right that I pay."
Xiao Yingchun, however, insisted on paying herself: "I'll do it myself. You really don't need to see me off."
Dai Hengxin had no choice but to watch Xiao Yingchun pay the bill herself.
The waiter was astonished: two pairs of shoes and two skirts, that's over 20,000 yuan! A man was clearly willing to pay, but this woman refused?!
This was quite unusual.
Xiao Yingchun took out the clothes, and Dai Hengxin just hung up the phone: "Mr. He said he's waiting for us at the hotel, shall we go there now?"
"Okay."
The three of them met at the hotel, confirmed the on-site arrangements with the wedding company, and then asked Xiaomei to confirm the ranking and reception arrangements for tomorrow.
At this time, the auctioneer also came, and she was also a beautiful woman with excellent temperament.
The beauty wore a moon-white cheongsam and a set of pearl jewelry. She looked gentle and delicate.
Xiao Yingchun was stunned.
The beauty's name was Zou Muwan. After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, Zou Muwan smiled and extended her hand: "Ms. Xiao, nice to meet you."
Xiao Yingchun laughed dryly: "Nice to meet you..."
"I didn't expect that Miss Xiao has her own business at such a young age. It's really admirable! Mr. He, when will you help me get rich?"
As she said that, Zou Muwan winked at He Liangcong playfully.
He Liangcong was very surprised, and also enjoyed Zou Muwan's flattery. He couldn't help but grin: "I was also led by someone. If you want to get rich, you should look for Mr. Dai and Mr. Xiao..."
Zou Muwan was slightly surprised, and looked at Dai Hengxin and Xiao Yingchun with an unchanged smile: "Mr. Dai, Mr. Xiao, I am a professional auctioneer. I will work hard this time. If the results are good, remember to look for me next time!"
