Chapter 19 Transmigrated as the Father of the Real and Fake Heiresses

Ji Huaizhi was waiting for Nanzhi at the entrance of the auction venue. When the appraisal experts from the organizer saw that Ji Huaizhi was still standing at the entrance, they quickly went forward to greet him.

"Mr. Ji, what brings you here, Mr. Ji?" The man greeted Ji Huaizhi warmly, as if afraid of being slighted.

"My daughter insisted on coming with me today to join in the fun, she'll be here soon." Ji Huaizhi shook hands politely.

"Is your daughter interested in these things too?" the man asked politely.

"Just browsing."

As soon as Ji Nanzhi got out of the car, she saw her father standing at the door talking to someone.

She stepped forward, lifting her skirt, and said, "Dad."

Ji Huaizhi introduced her to others: "This is my daughter, Nanzhi, call her Uncle Yu."

Nanzhi smiled shyly and said, "Hello, Uncle Yu."

"Good, good, Mr. Ji, you brought your little darling out today, and I don't know how many people envy you."

"Now that we're here, why don't we go to the venue and rest for a while?" The man gestured for them to enter.

Guan Manyue came with her mother today, and unexpectedly saw Ji Nanzhi as well.

I'd seen her once before at a banquet, and now she seems even more outstanding.

"Is that President Ji? I didn't expect him to have time to attend this auction. I wonder which antique he has his eye on?" Mrs. Guan said casually.

Guan Manyue blinked: "Maybe he brought his daughter out to broaden her horizons."

"I haven't participated in any activities since I just got back."

Mrs. Guan shook her head: "For the Ji family, it would be very easy to broaden her horizons; there's no need to come to such a small event."

“You’re not much older than the Ji family’s daughter. You can get to know her and introduce her to this circle. It would be good for the Guan family too,” Guan Men said softly.

Guan Manyue pouted: "You think I don't want to? I would like to get to know her, but I don't have the chance."

"You have no idea how well the Ji family has kept her hidden."

Guan's mother patted her hand: "If it doesn't work out, we won't force you. I was just saying."

When the auction started, Ji Nanzhi didn't understand much either. The first category was calligraphy and painting, and she was a little confused as the organizers explained.

Ji Huaizhi tilted his head: "Just pick out whichever one you like and have Assistant Zhou take a picture of it for you."

Nanzhi nodded; that was the only way.

Just as she was getting bored and about to fall asleep, the organizers began to introduce the porcelain.

"This is a Song Dynasty Ge kiln sunflower-shaped porcelain washer."

"The color is bluish-gray, and the crackled glaze is the most prominent feature of Ge ware porcelain. Large cracks contain smaller cracks, creating a 'golden thread and iron wire' effect. The large cracks are mostly black, like iron wire, while the small cracks are fine and light, yellowish, just like golden threads; some also describe the large cracks as dark brown and the small cracks as yellowish-brown."

Ji Nanzhi sat up straight: "I saw that Grandpa's house had a lot of these last time, how about this?"

"Starting bid: 2,500."

Immediately after he finished speaking, someone raised a sign.

The auctioneer announced gently but firmly, "Two thousand seven."

"Two thousand ninety thousand here."

“Sure, sure, I have more than enough pocket money.” Ji Nanzhi reminded Assistant Zhou to help hold up the sign.

Ji Huaizhi lightly clenched his fist, covered his mouth, and chuckled: "Since Nanzhi has taken a liking to this one, then let's go with this one."

"Three thousand and one."

Assistant Zhou smiled and held up the sign.

The auctioneer smiled at Nanzhi and said, "Three thousand three, is there any left?"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was President Ji comforting his daughter, so they all smiled kindly and didn't raise their signs.

The auctioneer brought down the gavel: "Congratulations, Mr. Ji, three thousand three."

Ji Nanzhi couldn't help but ask Ji Huaizhi, "Does that mean this is ours?"

Ji Huaizhi nodded.

"I didn't expect to find antiques so cheap. I thought they would cost hundreds of thousands. I didn't expect to save so much." Nan Zhi smiled with a somewhat naive and cute expression.

Assistant Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss Nanzhi, it's thirty-three million, not three thousand three."

Ji Nanzhi was stunned.

Disbelief flashed in his small, narrow eyes.

She turned to Ji Huaizhi for confirmation: "Dad, is what he said true?"

Ji Huaizhi nodded with a smile: "Yes, with tens of thousands of yuan, you can probably only buy high-quality imitation porcelain."

Ji Nanzhi's face turned red, and she couldn't help but say with a bitter expression, "Thirty-three million~ Daddy probably can't afford it."

Are antiques really that expensive?

Assistant Zhou: "Ms. Nanzhi, please rest assured, you can definitely afford the card that President Ji gave you."

Ji Nanzhi's face turned even redder: "Do I have that much money?"

The little girl tugged at Ji Huaizhi's sleeve: "Dad, does the card you gave me have this much money in it?"

Ji Huaizhi: "Daughter, it seems you know nothing about your father's abilities."

Ji Nanzhi pursed her lips: "If I had known antiques were so expensive, I would have given Grandpa the water cup I made myself. My money~"

Thinking of something, she looked at her father guiltily and said, "Hehe, Dad, it seems the water bottle I gave you before was a little shabby."

"whee."

Ji Huaizhi looked at her amusedly: "Alright, it's just over thirty million. You have to trust your father's abilities."

While the auction was still going on, Nanzhi got a little bored and wanted to go to the restroom for some fresh air.

Guan Manyue looked at Nanzhi, who was looking in the mirror, and stepped forward to greet her: "Hello, my name is Guan Manyue, the second young lady of the Guan family."

Ji Nanzhi didn't recognize the name, but still nodded politely: "Hello, I'm Ji Nanzhi."

“I know, I saw you at the Ji family banquet before.” Guan Manyue’s eyes crinkled into a friendly smile. “I wanted to be friends with you back then, but I didn’t have the chance.”

Ji Nanzhi smiled but didn't say anything.

Chen Xi once said that if you don't want to agree with others, just smile and you don't need to say anything.

"There's a tea party tomorrow, would you like to join?" Guan Manyue tried to be friendly.

"I'm sorry, I have classes tomorrow," Ji Nanzhi politely declined.

"Is it a flower arranging class?"

"No, business and economic management and risk management."

Guan Manyue was taken aback, assuming that she was studying flower arranging and etiquette courses, but she didn't expect that was what she was studying.

Shouldn't these be things that only heirs learn?

Does President Ji want her to join the Ji Group?

It's not impossible.

"Oh, I see. Then let's hang out together again sometime." Guan Manyue looked at her retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions.

Previously, Li Tian had only learned flower arranging, etiquette, and appreciation from these rich girls, and had never been exposed to these things before. I wonder how she would feel if she knew.

I guess I'll never have a chance to give away that bag at home.

In that case, I'll bring that bag to the tea party tomorrow.

"Brother, take me with you to Grandpa's birthday party tomorrow," Li Tian asked Ji Lin.

Ji Lin hesitated for a moment: "Dad and Nanzhi will be at the banquet tomorrow too..."

Li Tian leaned close to Ji Lin's ear from behind and whispered, "I want to go. I've prepared a gift for Grandpa. There will be so many people at the banquet, nothing will happen."

"Besides, I'm just a junior who's sending birthday wishes. My grandfather used to love me so much, he'd definitely be happy to see me."

"And Grandpa will be very happy to see the gift I prepared."

"Maybe if they see it, they'll let me go back to the Ji family."

Li Tian's upturned eyes revealed a calculating nature.
