Chairman Huang's face darkened.
"How can it not exist? Don't you know that President Chu is now a very popular and influential figure in the Chenglong Pavilion and the Dagan Culture Association?"
"The jade crown with kingfisher feathers and the mythical bird paying homage to the phoenix that he auctioned at Tiandu Winery has been reported to the state and is scheduled to be exhibited in a museum. You should go and learn from it, so as not to embarrass yourself!"
Ling Shao, a mere lackey, was not qualified to participate in the Tiandu Winery auction, so he was unaware of what was happening at the auction.
Now that Chu Xiao has slapped him in the face, he can only grit his teeth and nod.
"Yes, Chairman Huang is right to reprimand me."
But her eyes were fixed on Chu Xiao with a fierce glare, as if she wanted to devour him alive.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Anna prepared to talk to Fu Jiaxing about the payment for the medicine.
Unexpectedly, Cao Moran grabbed the jade tablet on the table first and said with a smile, "Brother Chu, you have such a good thing, why don't you give it to me? I can give you... the price you want."
She rested her elbow on the table, her slender, fair fingertips tracing across Chu Xiao's heart.
Chu Xiao, still savoring the warm, smooth feeling of the kiss, leaned down close to her and asked, "Really? But what if I don't want the money?"
"Then what do you want?" His hot breath lingered around her nose, and Cao Moran's pink tongue swept across her lips. "Could it be that, little brother, you want me?"
These words caused a stir among the audience.

Not only was Ling Shao furious, but even Fu Jiaxing's eyes darkened.
In the past, he only dared to fantasize about women like Zhao Anna, and he would never dare to covet Miss Cao.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiao flirted with her in front of everyone.
Zhao Anna couldn't stand it any longer and asked coldly, "Chu Xiao, didn't you come here today to talk to Fu Jiaxing? Are you still going to talk? If you don't want to, I'm leaving."
Cao Moran's gaze fell on Zhao Anna.
"Oh, isn't this the legendary medical prodigy, Miss Zhao?"
Anna Zhao frowned even more deeply.
An imperceptible, subtle atmosphere permeated the air.
After a long pause, Chu Xiao chuckled, "Of course we need to talk about things, but the things I brought... since Miss Cao likes them, how much are you prepared to pay for them?"
Cao Moran played with the jade pendant in his hand, his fingertips seemingly making circles on it.
"Of course, I'll give you whatever amount Mr. Fu wants."
A hint of a smile flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.
