Chapter 231 Such a Vicious Curse
Du Anrao took Xi Jingyue's hand and walked out of the restaurant without even looking back. Only after making sure that he was completely out of the sight of the Fu family members did he breathe a sigh of relief, covering his chest with his hands as if he had survived a calamity.
Xi Jingyue felt helpless and amused: "Are you so scared? She won't eat you."
"She won't eat me, she will just swallow me alive." Duan Rao glanced at Xi Jingyue with a bitter look, "Mr. Xi, have you heard of the three major New Year curses?"
"What are the three curses?"
"You are working now, how much is your monthly salary?"
Xi Jingyue: “???”
"The child is in school, right? Is his academic performance good?"
Xi Jingyue: “…”
"You are already so old, have you found a partner?"
"…Do you really have to be so exaggerated?"
"That's not an exaggeration at all!" Du Anrao was very dissatisfied with Xi Jingyue's disapproving attitude, and casually pushed Du Bixiao out, "This cousin has experience, you can ask her!"
Du Bixiao: “???” Just talk to me, why drag me into this?
But when she met Duanrao's expectant eyes, her heart softened immediately.
"Well, I can testify that it is indeed quite terrifying. And most of the time it is not just one person asking, but a group of people asking or one after another, in a round-robin battle."
Xi Jingyue: “…” Enough, stop talking, the more it sounds like a zombie siege!
"Having said that, it's only a matter of time before Mr. Xi encounters this kind of situation at his age. I hope that by then you can still be as calm as you are now..." With the thought of "Come on, let's hurt each other!", Du Bixiao looked Xi Jingyue up and down, and said with a gloating look, "Stay calm."
Xi Jingyue: "..." What a vicious curse! It turns out that this is what the girl meant by the curse!
Poor President Xi felt the dangers of the world for the first time in his life. He shut his mouth silently and dared not say a word.
Duanrao wanted to laugh but had to hold it back, so he changed the subject considerately: "Sorry, I wanted to treat you to a meal today. Thank you for your generosity last night, which helped me out of my urgent need. By the way, I wanted to ask about the handover of the auction house..."
Who would have thought that so many things would go wrong along the way, we didn't miss out on food, but we didn't discuss anything!
Xi Jingyue didn't care about this: "It's okay, these are all emergencies. You didn't expect this to happen beforehand, so it's not your fault. Besides, it's said to be a dinner treat, and I really enjoyed my meal today. The taste of this restaurant is really good, and the rumors are not exaggerated."
"As for the handover, have you decided to take over the auction house?"
Seeing that Xi Jingyue was not in a good mood because of what happened today, Duanrao breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
"Well, I confirmed with my master last night that the auction house was indeed the property he had someone help me buy. He also suggested that I take it back now."
In fact, the master's original words were: When you are 18 years old and have grown up, you can no longer continue to rely on your parents. It is expensive to go out, so I bought you an estate in advance so that you can support yourself, so that you don't have to see the outside world, spend money lavishly, and starve yourself to death. Then it will be a disgrace to him as a master.
Xi Jingyue and Du Bixiao: "..." No wonder this girl (little cousin) always says that her master is unreliable, this is too...
However, although that person's words were a bit mean, his heart for caring for his apprentice is still worthy of recognition. After all, not everyone can casually give their juniors a fixed asset worth hundreds of millions of yuan, which occupies half of a mountain.
In some ways, her master can be considered a truly remarkable person!
Du Bixiao listened to the gossip for a long time before she realized what was happening: "Your master? There is also an auction house? Is it the Duobao Pavilion auction house from yesterday? You want to take over the auction house? What about the Wen family..."
Du Bixiao and Du Desheng were one-way communication. Last night, Du Anrao paid the money and followed the Wen family father and son to the box. Du Bixiao went out to find a car in advance and missed a part. Afterwards, Du Desheng did not tell her about it...
"Well... this is a long story. To put it simply, my master knew the Wen family and helped them in the early years, so they owed him a favor. In order to repay this favor, the Wen family opened the current auction house and managed it for so many years, waiting for me to come of age before transferring it to my name."
After hearing what Du Anrao said, Du Bixiao stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Duanrao stretched out his hand and waved in front of her: "Sister..."
"Wait a minute, give me some time. You said that your master owed the Wen family a favor, and in order to repay the favor, the Wen family opened the Duobao Pavilion Auction House and has run it for so many years, making it bigger and stronger, just to wait for you to come of age and transfer it to your name."
"right."
"...How big of a favor is this?"
"Probably something like... a life-saving grace?" Duan Rao thought for a moment, and added, "And it can be considered a life-saving grace for their entire family."
Du Bixiao: “…” Well, if it’s really such a great favor, it makes sense.
"So, you invited him to dinner just to borrow his people to help you take over the auction house."
"I just want to sort out the auction house's accounts over the years and go through the procedures. After all, I have no experience in this kind of thing before."
"The handover of assets should indeed be more cautious, but..." Du Bixiao's eyes moved between the two of them, "You trust him."
Duanrao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at Xi Jingyue. Yes, there were obviously other options, but her first reaction after encountering something seemed to be to ask this person for help, and she took it for granted that he would definitely help her. It was the same before at the auction house and it is the same now. Why is that?
Du Anrao thought for a long time and finally came to a relatively reliable conclusion: "Mr. Xi is a good person."
Xi Jingyue: “…” Has he been given the nice guy card?
Du Bixiao also choked, her mouth twitching as she wanted to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she could only utter one sentence: "I hope you can be worthy of An An's trust, otherwise..."
Otherwise, your entire family will unite to tie me up and throw me into the sea to feed the fish.
Having already seen Du Anrao's influence in the family, Xi Jingyue silently completed her words in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Don't worry, Miss Du, since An'an trusts me, I will definitely not let her down. I have asked my company's financial and legal teams to come over, but the distance between the two places is quite far, so they may not arrive until tomorrow. I will introduce them to you when they arrive."
Du Anrao was a little surprised. He thought that the financial lawyer Xi Jingyue mentioned was local, but he didn't expect that he would have to come all the way from another place.
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome. My uncle has helpers too."
"It's too late. They should be on the plane by now."
Du Anrao: “???” Are the people in your company so efficient?
