320 Thinking Too Much

His heart ached. A few hundred million yuan was gone just like that, and now he had to smile at them.

This auction item was very promising because it did not cost much when they bought the stone. Now, it had increased by thousands of times. It could be said that their auction had made a killing.

But now that all his money had been wasted, how could it not make his heart ache? Moreover, if the higher-ups blamed him, he would probably have to take the blame.

After all, auctions usually prohibited the opening of stones on the spot. They were afraid that if they did not satisfy the bidder’s requirements, it would cause a series of trouble.

!!

He had thought that since there was already jade, there would not be any accidents in the future and he could use this to increase the reputation of the auction. Unexpectedly, all the stones he opened were raw stones.

Moreover, the one who won was the Zhou Family, one of the four major families. Things became even more difficult.

However, even so, the expression on Elder Zhou’s face did not soften much. He had to regain the face he had lost previously. Otherwise, he did not know how Old Master Cui would laugh at him in the future.

“Do you think my Zhou Family lacks this bit of money?”

Cold sweat broke out on the manager’s forehead. He knew that things would probably not end well. The Zhou Family naturally did not lack this money.

“Then what do you think we should do, Elder Zhou?”

“This is your auction’s mistake. Of course, your auction will resolve it. I just want Fu Lu Shou.”

Elder Zhou’s meaning was obvious, but it was even more difficult for the manager. Where could he find top-grade jade?

If he could get it if he wanted it, he wouldn’t be the manager of the auction here. He could just rely on stone gambling to soar.

However, the manager did not dare to complain. He could only try to negotiate. “Elder Zhou, why don’t I find you imperial jade? It’s really making things difficult for our auction to find .”

The manager gritted his teeth. It just so happened that there was still an imperial jade that had not been auctioned off. The price was really too high, but he had no choice.

Elder Zhou knew that it was indeed difficult for them to find another Fu Lu Shou. Just as he was about to agree, Old Master Cui’s voice came from the private room next door.

“How can this imperial jade be worthy of the status of the four great families? It’s indeed your auction’s problem. Of course, you have to compensate an identical Fu Lu Shou. Besides, it’s not like the Zhou Family can’t afford to give you money.”

Old Master Cui’s voice was filled with schadenfreude, making Elder Zhou’s expression turn ugly immediately. This time, he did not know whether to respond or not. He could only stand by the railing with a cold expression.

Seeing this, the manager was even more troubled. How did the grudges between these two families involve a small manager like him?

It was already beyond his authority to be able to obtain the imperial jade. He still had to apply for it from the higher-ups layer by layer. However, if the Zhou Family did not even agree to the imperial jade, was he really going to have to find another Fu Lu Shou?

“Old Master Cui, don’t make things difficult for our auction. It’s already extremely difficult to find one Fu Lu Shou.”

The manager braced himself and said. After all, the ghost market was under Old Master Cui’s protection. Old Master Cui probably wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

However, how could the manager know that Old Master Cui only wanted to take revenge for Elder Zhou’s mockery just now? How could he care about the ghost market?

“It’s not easy for Elder Zhou to make a move. How can we let him return disappointed? Right, Elder Zhou?”

How could Elder Zhou not hear the mockery in Old Master Cui’s words? His fingers turned into claws as he gripped the railing tightly.

He could not really go against the Ghost Market to the end, right? Wouldn’t that give Old Master Cui more reason to suppress him?

Facing Old Master Cui’s aggressiveness, Elder Zhou had many more thoughts. He knew the relationship between the Cui Family and the Ghost Market, so he did not dare to act rashly. He was even more certain that Old Master Cui must have set a trap for him to jump into.

He wanted him to make things difficult for the ghost market so that he could use it to suppress the Zhou Family.

Although there had always been turbulence between the four great families, they would never show their hatred openly. Was the Cui Family going to fall out?

He had not done anything recently. He could not suppress the Zhou Family just because he had bragged just now, right?

In just a few words, Elder Zhou had already made many connections. He took a deep breath and finally decided not to fight the Ghost Market head-on.
