"As expected of a wealthy family, a griffin that only has the shape of a lion can be sold at such a high price. If it were a real griffin, how much would it fetch!" Qu Shanling said with emotion and regret.
"Yeah, it's a pity. If we had known this would happen, we should have found someone to help us and raised the price a bit more." Mu Hanyan said regretfully.
Qu Shanling stared blankly at Mu Hanyan, pondering a question in her mind: Am I a charlatan? Or is he a charlatan?
After the auction ended, Zhu Yi and Wu Songxing said goodbye and left the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. Zhu Yi, having successfully won the griffin, was in high spirits. He generously paid a deposit of 200,000 yuan and returned to the capital. They had originally agreed to wait for the balance to arrive before taking the griffin away, but Mu Hanyan discussed it with Mu Nan and generously waved her hand, allowing him to take the griffin away first.
The Zhu family's status in the capital wasn't much lower than that of the Mu clan, so Mu Hanyan wasn't worried about them defaulting on their debts. Furthermore, the griffin wasn't a true exotic beast, and its vitality wasn't that strong. What if it accidentally died? She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Zhu Yi was overjoyed and naturally had a higher opinion of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
Although Wu Songxing from Nanxi County City failed in the bid, he was not too disappointed.
His main purpose in coming to Blackrock City this time was to find out the strength of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, and he also completed the task successfully: Although the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce seems to be of average strength at present, it acts in a reasonable and orderly manner without being humble or overbearing, which is a rare kind of magnanimity. And Qu Shanling seems to be a man of real talent and knowledge. Others cannot see Qu Shanling's Qi gathering and sound transmission to Mu Hanyan, but he can see the clues and know that the reason why Mu Hanyan suddenly changed the subject and added another thousand taels to buy the griffin egg when she was about to give up was all due to his instructions.
With Qu Shanling in charge, the contract with Longyan College, and the fact that the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce itself acts justly and peacefully, it will surely conquer a part of the world in time.
In addition to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, he also had a greater gain, which was Mu Hanyan.
Before coming to Black Stone City, he had first learned about the local customs and practices. He had heard of Mu Hanyan's reputation as a dandy fool, but after arriving, he realized just how widespread this reputation was. However, upon actually seeing Mu Hanyan in action, he felt that the eldest son of the city lord's family was quite different from the rumors.
He had a certain air of dandyism, and his actions were quite flamboyant and aggressive, yet he was hardly dislikeable. Speaking of a fool, who could dare call him a fool, seeing how he easily manipulated Miss Zhao Si and her gang? The few words he had just spoken to him and Zhu Yi were incredibly cunning, so who could still call him a fool?
In short, he couldn't understand what kind of person Mu Hanyan was. The only thing he could be sure of was that if it wasn't necessary, he shouldn't offend this dandy young man. Miss Zhao Si and the others were just a lesson to him. Unless, of course, you had a hobby of streaking.
The auction ended, and the other vendors and customers dispersed, still whispering excitedly as they went. However, they weren't discussing the auction, but rather Miss Zhao Si's figure and beautiful skin, which were so erotic and so memorable. The fat vendor listened to their discussions, his face also dancing with joy, but he was obviously a little distracted, and it was unclear whose beautiful figure he was reminiscing about.
…
"Hanyan greets the Third Elder." Mu Hanyan stepped forward and saluted the Third Elder.
In fact, Mu Hanyan saw him when the Third Elder asked Zhou Qi to cover his face, but knowing that he had never had a good impression of her, Mu Hanyan was not interested in trying to please him, so she waited until now to say hello.
"Well, you did a good job today. You didn't embarrass our Mu family." The third elder nodded and said, although he still had a cold face, his words were much nicer than before.
