In just a short while, the antique vase was sold for 100,000 yuan.

Amy, sitting in the corner, looked confident.

Wu Bingcheng didn't go to look for her. Instead, he walked up to his wife and whispered, "Xiaoyun, the lady in the corner is the seller of the antique vase. Her name is Amy. Can you help me get some information from her later? This antique vase looks very similar to the one passed down from our family."

Tian Xiaoyun knew her husband wasn't wrong. "No problem."

After a while, the antique vase was bought by a wealthy businessman for 156,000 yuan.

The next item up for auction was ambergris.

The staff member said excitedly, "Everyone knows that each grade of ambergris has its own unique fragrance. The piece in front of me is of the highest quality. Its fragrance is ever-changing, like the scent of 'a hundred flowers in bloom'."

Everyone present could smell the blend of fragrances.

Someone called out, "What's the bid?"

The staff member smiled and responded, "The starting bid is 90,000."

Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan looked at each other, and Chu Xuan nodded, indicating that the price was acceptable.

In this era, 90,000 yuan in this country is equivalent to 198,000 yuan in domestic currency.

At this time, Wu Mingli also walked into the auction site.

In fact, the money he got from selling the two watches was enough to pay Chu Xuan back if converted into domestic currency, but unfortunately, his father not only owed Chu Xuan money, but also owed money to the company and the bank.

So he gave the money to his second uncle, who decided the order of repayment.

At this time, many wealthy businessmen started bidding.

"100,000."

"110,000."

"120,000."

…

It's rising by tens of thousands.

The final transaction price was 150,000 yuan, equivalent to 330,000 yuan in domestic currency.

Wu Mingli gave Chu Xuan a thumbs up to express his congratulations.

Chu Xuan smiled back, but she didn't think Wu Mingli came just to congratulate her in person.

Sure enough, Wu Mingli whispered something to Wu Bingcheng.

After listening to this, Wu Bingcheng said hello to Chu Xuan and the others and left in a hurry.

Wu Mingli left immediately afterwards.

Tian Xiaoyun did not follow him, but went to the corner to greet Amy.

After a few words, the two of them got along well and went to the auction house reception desk to chat while drinking coffee.

Mu Chenze and his wife needed to wait for the auction to end to receive the check, so they stayed at the auction site.

Later, I bought two more paintings and a limited edition watch.

The calligraphy and painting were sold for 10,000 and 11,000 yuan respectively.

The watch had no tag and was eventually sold for 50,000 yuan.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but sigh that the tag of this watch was actually worth ten thousand yuan!

When the auction ended, Tian Xiaoyun walked up to Chu Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, Chen Ze, I'll go with you to collect the check later."

"Mom, thank you for your hard work!" Mu Chenze said sweetly.

Tian Xiaoyun said kindly, "Don't be polite to me, it's not hard at all."

Chu Xuan took her mother's arm and asked softly, "Mom, what were you talking about with that lady just now? You talked for so long."

Tian Xiaoyun responded with a smile, "Let's talk about that antique vase. Guess who she bought it from?"

Chu Xuan guessed, "Could it be Wu Mingpeng?"

"No. But it has something to do with Wu Mingpeng."

"Could he be Wu Mingpeng's friend?"

"Not really. He's Wu Mingpeng's mother-in-law's cousin."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan felt that Wu Mingpeng was not far from being convicted.

At this moment, an auction house staff member came over and said, "Ms. Tian, ​​Mr. Mu, Ms. Chu, please follow me."

The three of them knew that they needed to go and collect the check.

When I arrived at the auction house's finance department, after deducting the 20% commission and converting it into domestic currency, there was still 264,000 left.

It sold for 64,000 more than the expected 200,000.

Chu Xuan received the check, took the relevant auction certificate, and drove away with her mother and husband.

Halfway through the journey, a truck drove over from the opposite direction...
