Bai Zhanwang pushed open the door to the innermost private room on the fifth floor. Seeing the two people chatting inside, he deliberately cleared his throat and joined in, "What are you two old bastards talking about behind my back?"

When the people inside saw him, they immediately started teasing, "Oh, it's our Chairman Bai! What brings you here?"

Bai Zhanwang shook his head repeatedly, helpless, and sighed, "Old Qi, Old Qi, your mouth is still so sharp."

"What did I say?" Qi Jili retorted, feigning displeasure. "Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you last contacted us?"

Bai Zhanwang retorted in equal irritation, "You have the nerve to criticize me? Neither of you thought of contacting me."

Qi Jili, too lazy to argue with him, slammed his hand on the table and declared, "Alright, it's my treat today. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make sure you get it."

"Eat my ass! With your teeth, go home and drink porridge." Jun Wuwei, who had been sitting silently, retorted to Qi Jili with a look of disgust.

Qi Jili wouldn't back down and argued with him, "You old rascal, you look down on people again, don't you?"

Bai Zhanwang was used to their bickering, and he wasn't happy to smooth things over. Instead, he joined in the teasing, saying, "We're here on Chairman Jun's turf today, it's not your place to treat us."

"When did this place become my territory?" Jun Wuwei retorted, looking displeased.

Qi Jili thought what he said made sense, and together they looked at Bai Zhanwang with disdain. Bai Zhanwang also felt that he had been hasty and forgotten that he had shares in Tianfu No. 1.

He coughed lightly and argued forcefully, "No matter what, you're the one who booked this place today."

“That makes sense.” Qi Jili thought Bai Zhanwang’s words made sense. He was the 'most free' one anyway, so he didn’t need to be polite with them. He directly asked, “You two decide how to treat me.”

Jun Wuwei was the first to disagree, yelling, "Get out of here!"

"Look at him, his temper is still as bad as ever." Qi Jili smacked his lips and sighed.

Jun Wuwei was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. Anyway, neither of them were good people. He was only concerned about when the remaining money would arrive.

In front of Bai Zhanwang, he also unabashedly instructed Qi Jili, "Tell your grandson to prepare the money for me as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jili opened his mouth slightly and subconsciously glanced at Bai Zhanwang.

Bai Zhanwang, unaware of what they were talking about, casually asked, "What money?"

"Well..." Qi Jili was a little embarrassed to speak. It wasn't that he was worried that Bai Zhanwang would fight with his precious grandson for the three diamonds, but rather that this underhanded operation was really not something that could be done openly.

Bai Zhanwang knew something was wrong when he saw his hesitant manner, especially in this kind of situation...

A thought immediately formed in his mind, and he tentatively asked, "Were you secretly making a deal behind my back?"

Qi Jili and Jun Wuwei both remained silent.

Bai Zhangwang interpreted silence as tacit agreement, so he continued to probe, "Is it related to the items in this auction?"

They remained silent.

"I guessed right." Bai Zhanwang was now certain. He looked down on them and exclaimed, "Hey, I was wondering why you guys suddenly made up."

Jun Wuwei was displeased with Bai Zhanwang's smug attitude. "Hey Bai, why do you still talk so much?"

"You guys were the ones who kept it from me first." Bai Zhanwang wasn't angry. He was the most composed of the three and rarely got angry. He was just a little curious at the moment. "Tell me quickly, what did you guys do in private?"

Qi Jili suddenly remembered something and slapped his thigh, saying, "Hey, I've realized that you two are the ultimate beneficiaries, and I'm not involved at all."

Jun Wuwei was displeased by these words, and shouted, "Get lost!"

Qi Jili looked at the two of them with a sudden realization and said, "One collects money, and the other collects goods."

"What do you mean?" Bai Zhanwang was becoming increasingly curious.

Now that things have come to this point, it seems we have no choice but to make things clear.

Qi Jili patiently explained, "My precious grandson spent a fortune to buy three of Master Jun's works and gave them to my granddaughter-in-law, who is also your granddaughter and the future head of your Bai family."

He made a point of emphasizing the last two sentences.

Although she is his granddaughter-in-law, she is ultimately a member of the Bai family.

After a moment of reaction, Bai Zhanwang asked him for confirmation, "Those three items?"

"Yes," Qi Jili said affirmatively, "Otherwise, what three items are there?"

Bai Zhanwang was completely unaware of this news. If he didn't know, then those who came to the auction today were even less aware.

"You've already made a secret deal?" Bai Zhanwang was still somewhat surprised.

Qi Jili was already annoyed by him. "You bet."

"You guys are really something, your security measures are really good." Bai Zhanwang's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

Jun Wuwei ignored him and retorted, "None of your business!"

Bai Zhanwang was used to his swearing and wasn't angry, but there was one thing he didn't understand, "What about the auction later..."

Qi Jili understood what he meant and explained to him, "It will proceed as usual, which means that the three items have been reserved in advance."

"Hmph!" Jun Wuwei suddenly snorted coldly and said, "You only paid a deposit. The highest bidder wins."

"Hey, you old rascal, don't try this on me." Qi Jili was getting a little annoyed by his antics.

Jun Wuwei didn't take it seriously and directly told him to get out, "Stop bothering me, go die outside."

Qi Jili retorted, "I'm not leaving today, I'll annoy you to death."

"Don't try to fool me, I'm calling security." Jun Wuwei threatened him without any regard for his reputation.

Qi Jili was no pushover either, and he wasn't buying it. "Go ahead and yell, it's been a long time since I've shown off my skills."

Bai Zhanwang was getting a headache listening to their back-and-forth, and had no choice but to step in and mediate, saying, "You two have had enough."

But this fight wasn't something he could easily stop; the two of them continued arguing back and forth, with no possibility of a truce.

The auction officially began at 9:30 a.m.

With a smile, the host introduced the items: "The Junshang Group Jewelry Auction is officially starting. Now, please welcome our first item."

“The Jade Ring.” She pointed to the bidding paddle and indicated, “The starting bid is 100,000, and each bid increases the bid by 10,000.”

Inside the VIP suite on the sixth floor, Bai Xuelin looked at the emerald ring on the screen and asked Qi Jincheng with a smile, "Nephew-in-law, are you interested?"
