As soon as Shen Qiu finished speaking, Gao Qingmu's eyes lit up.
At his age and status, he no longer has much desire for money and power. Compared to money and power, he wants to gain a good reputation.
According to Chen Qiu's method, this wooden box will be auctioned and then donated in the name of all of them. This means that he has gained a good reputation without spending a penny. This is a good thing that he has been asking for!
After knowing Shen Qiu's identity, the stall owner had completely given up the idea of getting the wooden box back. After all, the power of the Shen family was not something he could resist. If he didn't handle it well and offended the Shen family, he would have no place in Jincheng.
Now that things have turned around, although he can't get any money, he can get a good reputation, which is also a good thing for him. It can also give him a greater development prospect in the antique industry in Jincheng, which is also an unexpected surprise.
As for Ren Xunfeng, he was even more excited.
As mentioned before, at his position, even if he has not achieved financial freedom, he is still considered middle class, so his pursuit is not about money, but about gaining a good reputation. Shen Qiu's way of handling the matter is undoubtedly of great benefit to him, and he can't think of any reason to refuse.
So Gao Qingmu and the other two nodded repeatedly to show their agreement and approval of the plan proposed by Chen Qiu.
Seeing this, Chen Qiu added, "However, I'm still young and don't know much about antiques. I'm still a little short of realizing the full value of this wooden box. So, I'd like to ask Mr. Gao for help in organizing an auction. What do you think, Mr. Gao?"
"I have no choice but to accept it!"
Gao Qingmu quickly agreed. There were not many good opportunities like this that could quickly gain fame. How could he miss it?
Even if Chen Qiu didn't say anything, he would still try to get it.
Chen Qiu solemnly handed the wooden box to Gao Qingmu, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Gao. If there's anything we, the Shen family, can do during this process, please let me know. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"
Gao Qingmu nodded, "Don't worry! I'll take care of this matter!"
Now that we have decided how to deal with the wooden box, it’s time to get down to business.
Chen Qiu came up to Ren Xunfeng and said, "Mr. Ren, I want to apologize first! Before I met you, I did intend to use some means to give you some benefits so that you would help our Shen family pass the inspection as soon as possible. However, after seeing your performance just now, I feel that my previous thoughts were disrespectful to you. Please forgive my abruptness!"
After saying that, Shen Qiu bowed deeply to Ren Xunfeng.
Ren Xunfeng hurriedly reached out and helped Chen Qiu up.
Who is Chen Qiu?
As the son of Shen Hong and the designated heir of the Shen family, he apologized in this capacity. What else could Ren Xunfeng be dissatisfied with?
Although he said that he didn't take the Shen family seriously, but with Shen Qiu's social status, how could he not feel a little moved?
“Mr. Shen, there is no need to do this. Your actions just now have already proved your intentions. I admire you very much!”
Shen Qiu straightened up and said, "Mr. Ren, even so, the problems facing our Shen family still need to be resolved. If possible, please give me some time so that I can explain everything clearly. I believe that once Mr. Ren understands the twists and turns here, he will definitely give our Shen family a chance."
"Okay, there's a teahouse nearby. Let's go over there and talk."
Ren Xunfeng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
If it were before, Ren Xunfeng would never contact Shen Qiu in private. After all, his position is still very sensitive, and contacting Shen Qiu in private is likely to cause criticism, but Shen Qiu's behavior today did make him feel a lot of goodwill, so he agreed.
Since they were going to talk about serious business, Chen Qiu naturally would not stay in the antique market to be polite with Gao Qingmu. He left the wooden box to Gao Qingmu and asked Gao Qingmu to operate it. He took Ren Xunfeng to the teahouse next to the antique market.
The teahouse business is good, but most of the customers are people from the antique market who are here to discuss business.
Chen Qiu booked a private room and ordered a pot of the best tea. Without any excessive formalities, he got straight to the point.
"Mr. Ren, the problem with the Shen family's project acceptance last time was because someone from the Cheng family secretly tampered with it. In fact, there are no quality issues with our project, so I came to you. I hope you can start the second round of acceptance as soon as possible."
"You also know the size of our Shen family's real estate. If we continue to delay like this, it will not only be a loss for our Shen family, but also a loss for Jincheng. As a public official, you should not watch this result happen, right?"
Ren Xunfeng didn't listen to Shen Qiu completely, but asked: "When I inspected your project last time, there were major quality issues. Was this also the work of the Cheng family?"
Shen Qiu recounted Li Chang's story and concluded, "Li Chang is a senior executive at Shen's Real Estate Company. He's been bribed by the Cheng family, which is why this situation has occurred. After the acceptance inspection, I took other senior executives from Shen's Real Estate to the construction site and inspected the entire project. There are indeed no quality issues, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you like this."
"With your ruthlessness, if there are still problems with our project, you won't give us the green light even if I tell you everything. I know that you are responsible for the entire project, for our Shen family, and for all the people of Jincheng, so I absolutely dare not fool you on this point!"
Ren Xunfeng's expression brightened when he heard this. He said, "Well, let's go to your Shen family's construction site and take a look. If there are indeed no problems, I will organize a full inspection tomorrow. However, if there are still quality issues, we will have to wait three months before conducting the inspection again!"
