"Haha, what are you saying? There are so many bosses here, countless of whom are richer than me. Even if I wanted to... they might not give me the chance. Who would be willing to give up something they don't want?"
Boss Wang chuckled, unwilling to be tricked into revealing information: "Besides, there's something else besides that gemstone. Maybe I'm after something else entirely?"
How could an auction hosted by the Xing family be complete without some good stuff?
However, most of the wealthy people who come here are only after the "Tears of Atlantis".
In this world, those who love collecting rare and precious items are never ordinary people. They lack the capital and ability to collect these treasures that they may never see in their lifetime. At most, they can only learn about some fragments through the internet.
For these wealthy businessmen, money is the only standard for measuring status, but talking only about money is a bit vulgar. So at this time, the value of collectibles is revealed.
Especially those things that no one else has, but which you possess and are unique in the world.
This is a symbol of status!
What?
You think you're better than me?
Then why do I have something that's unique in the whole world, but you don't?
Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly awesome.
Therefore, wealthy businessmen all over the world pursue these rare items, ideally something that no one else can possess except themselves.
This is how scarcity and value are highlighted.
Such collectibles symbolize wealth and power, and can even become part of one's personal foundation, making it much easier to negotiate collaborations or transactions in the future.
"Mr. Wang, you're being too polite by saying that."
The middle-aged man realized that the boss in front of him, Mr. Wang, had become suspicious and wary of him, and it seemed that he could no longer try to get information out of him.
"Anyway, congratulations to Boss Wang on successfully securing the deal. I can't compare to your family's wealth and my financial resources are limited, so I won't get involved, hahaha."
The middle-aged man knew when to stop. He subtly flattered the other man, clinked his wine glass against his, and, seeing Mr. Wang's satisfied expression, made up an excuse to leave.
"Who is this person... I can't remember, but they have a sweet tongue. Hmm... I should try to get to know them sometime."
Mr. Wang sniffed and looked around with a strange expression.
strangeness……
He had smelled a very fragrant scent, like a woman's perfume, even though there were men around him.
This perfume smells...
Where did it come from?
After parting ways with Boss Wang, the middle-aged man walked straight to the far left of the lobby, seemingly searching for something. Finally, when he saw the restroom door sign flashing LED lights on the wall, his eyes lit up slightly. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before pushing the door open and entering.
Since it's a private jet, space is limited, so the restroom only has three small stalls. But though small, it's fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. The air is filled with pleasant fragrance, the lighting is bright, and it's clean and tidy.
The middle-aged man pushed open the door of the cubicle, walked in slowly, locked the door, stood in front of the mirror, looked at the middle-aged face inside, and suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Immediately, he grabbed his own face and gradually increased the pressure.
A shocking scene unfolded.
The middle-aged man in the mirror suddenly ripped off his own face with a tearing sound. But instead of the expected bloody mess, the middle-aged face disappeared, replaced by a stunningly beautiful and delicate face.
Her features are very defined, with a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes, making her look like a Westerner, yet she also has a touch of the softness that belongs to Chinese people. The combination of the advantages of both races creates this stunningly beautiful face.
"call……"
The woman reached out and pulled off her hair tie, causing her long, red hair, which had been tied up, to cascade down like a waterfall, adding a touch of allure to her face.
She took off her suit jacket, revealing a black leather jacket underneath that allowed for easy movement, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.
If Xia Che were here right now, his jaw would probably be dislocated from fright.
He knew this red-haired woman, and they were very close.
—A member of the Yan Yun Gang, one of the Four Roses…Red Rose: Cao Ying!
"If it weren't for completing the mission, who would want to wear this human skin mask? To avoid looking out of place, I even had to tie my hair up, it was so tight..."
Cao Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she had a mission to complete today, so even if she wanted to complain, she had to wait until she finished the mission.
She took the hair tie she had used to tie her hair up, then combed her hair and simply tied it into a high ponytail that wouldn't hinder her next move.
She stood in front of the mirror for a while, admiring her own stunning beauty.
After looking for a while, Cao Ying had had enough and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sigh... Taking on these missions every day is exhausting, even my skin is getting dry. If my master stops liking me because of this, then Ning Zheyuan... you're dead!"
Cao Ying didn't take this underground emperor of Jiang City seriously at all. Every time she went on a mission, she would bring up his name and curse him severely to vent her anger.
Unlike most of the previous tasks that she was forced to accept, this time Cao Ying took on the task voluntarily.
This is because one of the Xia family's former enemies is coming to Jiang City.
And it also brought with it a unique sapphire.
Cao Ying was happy to cause trouble for the Xing family. She shouldn't miss any opportunity to cause trouble for this enemy of the Xia family.
Ning Zheyuan shared the same idea.
So this task can be difficult in some ways, but it can also be quite simple in others.
That is...
Stealing that "Tear of Atlantis" caused the Xing family immense pain and made them lose face in front of so many social elites!
Ning Zheyuan was very worried about the Xing family's visit to Jiang City. He needed to discuss with other officials and young master Xia Che how to deal with this formidable enemy, and if necessary, he would also need to consult with the head of the Xia family abroad.
Judging from the current situation, it is best to avoid a direct conflict with the Xing family for the time being. After all, the Xia family is now in decline, and it is difficult for the Yan Yun Gang alone to confront the Xing family head-on.
Cao Ying's task was quite simple.
Instead of confronting your Xing family head-on, I'll give you some minor trouble that will hurt but won't cause serious damage, just to annoy you.
"That's about enough..."
Cao Ying quickly went through the task process in her mind, glanced at the time on her wristwatch, and then reluctantly looked away from the mirror.
It might seem like she's waiting for the perfect moment, but who knows if she just wants to look in the mirror more often and admire her own beauty...
