"Tsk tsk, that's really something." Anle waved his hand lazily and grinned, treating it as just gossip to pass the time and not taking it to heart.
Yu Rong treated it merely as gossip to amuse himself, telling it to An Le without feeling any emotional turmoil.
Along the way, they bought a bunch of miscellaneous snacks: chestnuts, roasted sweet potatoes, candied hawthorns, roast duck, melon seeds, and meat buns. Carrying a pile of food, Anle followed behind Yurong, swaying her short legs as she entered the Green City Auction House.
She only knew the rules of the auction house in Red City. After learning about the rules in Red City, she found that the rules in Green City were similar to those in Red City. After paying the money and receiving the token, you could find a private room on your own.
Even the layout of the auction houses is very similar.
Anle followed Yu Rong to the private room on the second floor with practiced ease. She went in, handed the things to Yu Rong, and then sat down on the chair, eating and swinging her legs, waiting for Yu Rong to return.
Unsurprisingly, after the jewelry was handed over to the manager, Yu Rong was invited for tea. The outcome was no different from the one in Hongcheng: they planned to make a one-off deal here and not hold an auction.
Having learned from the previous transaction in Hongcheng, they were much more adept at negotiating this time, and Anle was invited over to discuss the price.
The negotiations were going well; the auction house owner was very courteous and made everyone feel comfortable, and Anle set the price.
This time, Anle didn't wear anything too flashy; all the jewelry was necklaces, with ordinary designs and none of them being particularly high-quality. The quality of the jewelry looked much worse than the batch from Hongcheng last time.
Anle had her reasons for doing this; she didn't want to give away all the good things, but wanted to use them in Jincheng later as a surprise.
Otherwise, if all the good stuff is already given away, it won't be a surprise if Jin Cheng brings out something else.
Taking this into account, Anle didn't make it as eye-catching as last time, but it's still a fine product.
For Greentown Auction House, this was the first time they had acquired such an exquisite item, so they naturally treated Anle with courtesy and respect.
Just as the price was agreed upon, there was a knock on the door. The person outside came in, whispered a few words to the manager, and left. The manager's expression instantly changed, and he was no longer as polite and courteous as before.
The way they looked at Anle and Yurong changed. The enthusiasm in their eyes faded, and their tone became indifferent, with a hint of looking at them as oddballs.
"You're from Jincheng, aren't you?" Although the tone was questioning, it already carried a sense of certainty.
Anle blinked. "That's right, we're from Jincheng." What's the problem? What does this have to do with the transaction?
"Golden City is no longer under the jurisdiction of Apocalypse. With Islael backing you up, Golden City is certainly quite powerful."
The money from all these major cities is flowing into your Golden City like a torrent.
With the disaster relief support from all the major cities of Tianqi, your Jincheng shouldn't be short of money, right? You should be able to enjoy wealth and luxury just by relying on welfare, shouldn't you?"
The moment that slightly sarcastic and hostile tone came out, Anle's face froze, her expression suddenly turned cold, and her tone became ambiguous.
"Oh, so you Green City have nowhere to vent your anger? You don't dare to challenge Israel, you just keep quiet and don't dare to say a word, so you turn around and take it all out on us ordinary people in Jin City? How pathetic."
Upon hearing Anle's words, Yu Rong's lips twitched slightly. "Ordinary commoners?"
That's true, but the problem is, does she think it's appropriate to apply the identity of an ordinary citizen to her?
He can say that without even blushing or panting.
Do they really think of themselves as ordinary citizens?
Ultimately, the reason why all the major cities of Tianqi were throwing money at Jincheng was because of her, wasn't it?
Essentially, the person in charge wasn't venting their anger in the wrong place.
The manager was taken aback. He hadn't expected such a young girl to be so eloquent in her verbal sparring, never losing an argument with her.
"Since this item comes from Jincheng, its price needs to be reassessed."
"Oh, so this is even involving regional discrimination?" Anle chuckled, calmly starting to tidy up the things on the table.
She doesn't necessarily have to sell this to the auction house; she could just go out and sell it to a few wealthy families and still sell it.
She really didn't want to deal with auction houses like that.
He was arrogant, domineering, and utterly unreasonable; she was at peace with him and owed him nothing.
"Alright, go find whoever you want, we're not selling this."
"Alright, let's go back and wash up and go to sleep. I haven't had a good rest after traveling all day." Anle glanced at Yu Rong, yawned lazily, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.
The manager was dumbfounded. He never expected the situation to turn around so quickly. This was clearly an auction they were planning to hold. Otherwise, why would they bring out such a good item? They must be short of money.
Otherwise, I would have kept this kind of thing for my collection long ago.
He was certain that these two would sell to him, and he was already unhappy because he had only made a few sarcastic remarks.
If anyone should be unhappy, it should be the people from Green City. They donated a lot of silver, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry flowed out of the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion hasn't said anything yet, so why is she already showing her displeasure?
Can't they even vent their frustrations?
As for the price, it really needs to be reassessed. If it were any manager in charge here today, they would probably cut some of the price to vent their anger.
Yu Rong took the bundle from An Le's hand and left first. An Le followed Yu Rong expressionlessly, her face as cold as ice, almost matching Yu Rong's expressionless face.
Only after the two expressionless faces left did the person in charge hurriedly follow them out to try and stop them.
They have a grudge against Jincheng, but not against the items. Who wouldn't want these precious objects? Naturally, the city lord's mansion wouldn't let them go either.
"Hey, don't go! Why are you leaving after just a few words? We haven't even discussed the price yet. We can talk about it some more."
Even if you leave our auction house today and go to other auction houses, once they hear you're from Jincheng, they definitely won't treat you well. You'll be lucky if they don't rip you off."
"I'm not listening, you're just spouting nonsense!" Anle covered her ears with her hands, rolled her eyes, and quickened her pace.
There seemed to be a suspicious curve at the corner of Yu Rong's mouth.
