Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mo Long and Rong Yan chatted happily, and the latter generously invited Mo Long to the auction.
Mo Long did not decline and brought Jiang Yu and Tang Huai into the auction.
‘When he pa.s.sed by the waiter, Mo Long did not spare him a glance. However, the waiter’s legs were already weak and he could not stand properly.
‘When the few people completely disappeared into the auction villa, the waiter finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, not long after, he received a call from the organizer. “You have been fired.”
!!
‘The waiter was stunned and his phone almost fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He stuttered and asked, “Boss? Why, why?”
‘The organizer bluntly said to him, “You offended Mo Long and wanted to shut him out. You’re asking me why I fired you?”
Mo Long! So it was really because of him!
The waiter wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Just as he was about to fight for a chance for himself, the sound of “Du du” came from the other side of the phone.
The waiter’s hands and feet began to feel cold. He didn’t expect that the job that he had always been proud of would be completely ruined because of his momentary blindness.
The auction provided a mask to every guest who came to partic.i.p.ate. This was to protect the privacy of the guests.
‘After Mo Long and his group put on their masks, they were about to enter the auction venue when another masked waiter walked over. He bowed to Mo Long and said, “President Mo, your VIP room is on the third floor. Please.”
Mo Long naturally would not refuse. Rong Yan, on the other hand, was a little annoyed that he could not continue to get close to Mo Long.
However, he was still the boss of a large company after all. He had to put on a good show.
He smiled and said, “Then, president Mo, I’ll see you in a while.”
Mo Long nodded slightly and replied, “Alright.”
Rong Yan then hugged the waist of the girl beside him. He slowly walked to his seat.
Everyone sat in their own seats. The auction was about to begin.
‘The first treasure that opened was an exquisite snuff bottle. The degree of its exquisiteness was so exquisite that even laymen could tell that it was not an antique from a long time ago.
Some people thought that the organizers were just trying to fool them with some inconspicuous items, so they threw down their bid cards. However, they controlled their emotions well and did not curse out loud.
The host gave the price of the snuff bottle. “The first treasure is a snuff bottle from the Republic of China. The starting price is 50,000 yuan.”
The entire venue was silent. No one raised the price.
From the period of the Republic of China? Did they really think they were fools? This exquisite snuff bottle had been maintained as if it had just been made. In the end, the host said that this snuff bottle was from the period of the Republic of China?
Wasn’t this a pure joke?
Jiang Yu, who was on the third floor, saw the snuff bottle and said to Mo Long, “This is indeed a snuff bottle from the period of the Republic of China. It may be because the original owner likes this snuff bottle very much, so it has been maintained very well.”
Mo Long’s eyes darkened, and he stuck close to Jiang Yu’s ear and said, “Yu-er, do you want to buy it?”
Jiang Yu paused for a moment and said, “This snuff bottle can be used by the older generation. For example, your father or your grandfather. This snuff bottle is very suitable for them.”
“Okay.” Mo Long raised the sign in his hand and said, “100,000.”
The moment the price was offered, the crowd became even quieter.
After a moment, everyone began to whisper, “Who is this spendthrift? It’s obvious that this isn’t something valuable, and he wants to spend 100,000 yuan to buy this snuff bottle?”
“Is there really no place to spend this money?”
“He’s a spendthrift. 100,000 yuan to buy a snuff bottle? Who would do such a thing?”
Everyone was puzzled by the guest who had bid 100,000 yuan, but no one came forward to stop him.

They weren’t the ones who were paying anyway, so why should they care about how much others had spent?
