…
The next morning.
The cat came to an auction house.
She stood at the door for a while and looked at the building in front of her. It had a European style and was an old building with a history of more than 100 years.
A plaque hangs above the door, which reads: Tiancheng Auction Company.
It was still early when the delicate little door opened from the inside, and a person came out. He had just stood there when he suddenly saw the cat.
After a moment of surprise, he ran over quickly.
"Sect Leader, when did you arrive? Why didn't you call ahead? We could have come to pick you up."
The man who came was named Zhou Shuang. He was in his thirties, very shrewd, and a key figure in the establishment.
He very respectfully invited the cat inside.
"I went to Ding Yongchun's house." Cat walked into the auction house, looking around as she went. "Where's Bai Jiang?"
Zhou Shuang: "He went out very early, saying he wanted to keep an eye on the 'Bluebird Watching the Clouds' painting."
There are two different auction halls on the first and second floors, and the other work areas are also very well-organized. Cat is quite satisfied with this place.
"good."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuang immediately laughed, a hint of pride in her voice.
"Sect Master, our auction house has been open for two months, and we've only held two small auctions. When can we hold a big one?"
Zhou Shuang asked with great concern.
That's right, this Tiancheng Auction Company was registered and established by Maomao a long time ago. Zhou Shuang used to be an antique appraiser, auctioneer, and valuer, and has always worked in the auction industry.
When Maomao established Tiancheng Auction Company, he was appointed as the general manager.
"After the joint auction, you can really unleash your potential."
Zhou Shuang nodded excitedly.
They've been waiting!
When their competitors learned of Tiancheng Auction House's presence, they kept inquiring about it both openly and secretly, and even tried to intercept their auction items.
They were merely feigning concern and ignoring it.
The sect leader said, "If we're going to start a sect, we'll start with the biggest one!"
Joint auctions are a long-standing tradition in the Jiangnan region, originally intended to facilitate exchange and expand the influence of collections. However, there are also unspoken rules within the industry.
Each auction house must offer a sufficient number of high-quality items to fetch the highest possible price.
The annual joint auction is a public contest of auction house strength. Winning makes you the leader in the industry, while losing will severely damage your reputation.
The sect leader told them to wait and compete fairly at the joint auction, but unexpectedly, Wanxiang Auction House targeted Donghuang ahead of time.
"Hehe, Sect Master, Wanxiang Auction House actually thinks that their biggest rival is Donghuang Auction House."
This is especially ridiculous.
The cat said, "Give me the auction house's schedule."
Zhou Shuang quickly retrieved it and handed it to the cat with both hands.
Cat looked at it carefully and saw that the schedule included the auction house's usual auction sessions for the second half of the year.
"Not bad." The tone was one of satisfaction.
Just then, the cat's phone rang.
She waved her hand, signaling Zhou Shuang to leave. The latter tactfully went out and closed the door behind her.
The cat sat in the huge auction hall, its voice echoing, "Ah Jin."
"Where?" There seemed to be some mess around him.
"I'm at an auction house in H City." Cat looked down and fiddled with the drawstring on her clothes. "Ah Jin, why is it so noisy where you are?"
Mu Jin seemed to be pacing around, but after a while, she fell silent. "I can't leave here for the time being. Take care of yourself."
The cat blinked. "Okay."
“I’ve already given the ‘Bluebird Watching the Clouds’ painting to Bai Jiang.” Mu Jin’s voice came through the receiver, even more magnetic.
The idea that Mu Jin had previously suggested was to replace the Vientiane Auction House's trump card with a counterfeit version of the "Bluebird Jurisdiction Map".
"Oh," the cat responded.
Both of them remained silent. Cat heard Mu Jin's soft breathing and couldn't help but smile.
"Ah Jin, what should I do when I miss you?"
Mu Jin's voice was slightly hoarse: "When do you miss me?"
"Maybe when you wake up in the morning, maybe when you go to bed at night, maybe when you eat, or maybe when you're walking and spacing out."
It could happen at any time.
"Too much." Mu Jin seemed to chuckle as he said, "I'll call you before I go to bed."
"oh."
"Boss, come quick! We've made a major discovery!"
The shout was very loud, and the cat could hear it very clearly from this side; it was the voice of a Qilin.
"Something came up. I'll call you tonight," Mu Jin said as she walked, then hung up.
The cat sat there for a while, and suddenly received a message from Ding Chu.
It's a painting she did; it depicts a very fat cat.
After looking at it, the cat said, "My name is Cat, but I'm not a cat."
Ding Chu sent over another picture, this time a sketch, depicting what the cat looked like yesterday.
This is more like it.
There was no response from Ding Chu. She held her phone, unsure of what to say.
"Are you bored?" the cat asked.
Ding Chu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."
The cat recommended her movies and albums to Ding Chu, saying, "Then take a look at me!"
Ding Chu opened the movie. She felt the light from the phone screen was a bit dazzling, but she still endured it and continued watching.
Cat waited for a while, but Ding Chu didn't send any more messages.
"Is my movie too good? Or is my song too good?"
The cat left the auction house to have lunch.
...
“Darling, I was just playing with her, you know, you’re the one I love most.” Lawrence paced back and forth on the ground, explaining incessantly.
