After Wang Chen led everyone to sit down, he opened the box and personally placed the contents one by one on the solid wooden table.
Once these gold objects and raw jade stones were displayed, the entire room was illuminated with golden splendor.
Even though these bosses have seen a lot of the world, they were still surprised to see so many good things appear in front of them.
They knew that Sang Jueqian had a lot of good things in his hands, but they didn't expect there were so many!
Wang Chen did not sit down, but stood there and introduced these things to everyone one by one.
Although these things were taken out by Sang Jueqian, her understanding of them only came from Li Junyan's introduction.
But now when Wang Chen introduced it, he spoke in more detail than Li Junyan.
In addition, Wang Chen's voice is gentle and his speech speed is slow, which sounds like a trickle of water, making people indulge in it and it is a pleasure to listen to it.
Sang Jueqian was listening attentively when he felt someone looking at him several times.
Although the look was not hostile, it was not friendly either, which made Sang Jueqian feel a little uncomfortable and he subconsciously looked back.
It’s Xie Mingshan!
After meeting Xie Mingshan's eyes, Xie Mingshan showed his usual gentle smile, and without waiting for Sang Jueqian to react, he withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this, Sang Jueqian frowned subconsciously.
From the moment she came in until now, Xie Mingshan had not greeted her, not even a word.
This is not like Xie Mingshan's usual style!
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. I just don’t know what Xie Mingshan is going to do today.
Thinking this in his heart, Sang Jueqian became more alert.
But what Sang Jueqian found strange was that until Wang Chen finished his introduction and they started bidding, Xie Mingshan remained very well behaved and showed no intention of causing trouble.
Sang Jueqian felt more and more puzzled and would look at Xie Mingshan from time to time.
When he looked over again, Xie Mingshan actually showed a brilliant smile and walked straight towards Sang Jueqian, "Boss Sang, why do you keep looking at me today? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked at Sang Jueqian.
Being stared at by so many people, Sang Jueqian quickly adjusted his attitude and smiled slightly, "Mr. Xie, you misunderstood. I don't have anything to say to you. I'm just curious why you didn't buy anything today? Could it be that you don't like it?"
In the past, whenever Xie Mingshan saw something nice, he would spend a lot of money to buy it.
But today, both boxes of things were divided up, but he didn't buy anything. This is really unlike him.
Xie Mingshan sighed, "It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's just that I can't compete with everyone here.
Next time, if Boss Sang has something good, don’t tell anyone else first, just tell me quietly—"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another boss.
"Boss Xie, we're still here. You're saying things like that. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"That's right! Good things belong to everyone who sees them. We should compete fairly based on our strength. We can't do this!"
Xie Mingshan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "I was so excited that I blurted out what was in my heart, and I forgot you were all here.
With everyone saying this, what else can I say? I must compete fairly with you! I hope I don't return empty-handed next time."
When the others heard what Xie Mingshan said, they all burst into laughter, obviously being very happy with Xie Mingshan's words.
Sang Jueqian looked at the scene in front of him quietly without saying anything more, but his doubts grew even more.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xie Mingshan say again, "Since everyone has bought everything, there's nothing for me to do here, so I'll be leaving first!"
After saying that, he looked straight at Sang Jueqian and said, "Boss Sang, see you next time."
Sang Jueqian looked at Xie Mingshan calmly and nodded slightly, "Mr. Xie, take care."
Xie Mingshan walked away very decisively. After turning around, he walked out with big strides. Soon he had walked a long way away.
It was not until they reached the end of the road and turned a corner that Xie Mingshan took out his cell phone and made a call.
The call was picked up instantly.
Xie Mingshan's face was stern, and his voice was even more gloomy. "What's going on? What's so strange about that grocery store?"
A man's hoarse voice soon came from the receiver.
"Mr. Xie, I just searched the first and second floors of the grocery store thoroughly. Aside from the safe under the counter on the first floor, I opened every other place. There's nothing out of place, no basement, and no antiques."
The more Xie Mingshan listened, the gloomier his expression became. "Are you sure you've searched carefully?"
"Sure."
"What's in the safe?"
"Mr. Xie, you really think too highly of me. It's impossible to open the safe in such a short time. How can we possibly know what's inside?"
"You haven't even opened the safe, and you still have the audacity to talk to me like this?" Xie Mingshan was so angry that he almost shouted the last sentence.
Hearing Xie Mingshan's angry voice, the other party laughed sarcastically, "Mr. Xie, time is limited, I have done everything I can and should do.
You are telling me this now, are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"
Xie Mingshan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything like defaulting on my debt. I'll transfer the balance to you in a while.
But you have to find another opportunity to go to the grocery store again, open the safe and see what's inside."
A series of low laughs came from the receiver first, followed by voices.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. I'm a businessman. I take money from people and help them get rid of trouble. As long as the money is in place, I will definitely do a great job.
But Mr. Xie, please remember that if you want to get the person out, it's best to take a longer time, because safes are not that easy to open."
"I know." Xie Mingshan's eyes flashed darkly, "I'll let you know when I'm ready."
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Xie's good news."
Xie Mingshan hung up the phone, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
After much difficulty, they found an opportunity and sent someone into the grocery store to search it, but to their surprise, nothing was found.
He had seen that safe before. Although it was not small, it was not very big either. It could only hold a limited amount of things. It was impossible for Sang Jueqian's antique jade and other things to be placed in it.
But apart from opening the safe and taking a look, he really didn't know where else to start.
I just hope that the safe won't disappoint him and there will be some clues inside.
——
After Sang Jueqian signed the contract, received the payment, and sent the bosses away, he prepared to return to the grocery store.
But Wang Chen stopped her at this moment, "Boss, I've already discussed the live broadcast with Fang Bochao, and I need to report the specific details to you."
