Chapter 183 Isn’t this hunger marketing?
Duanrao was so stunned by the big hat that someone put on his head that he didn't know how to react for a moment.
[No, it's wrong for me not to spend your money, grandpa? Why do you make it seem like I'm breaking the law if I don't spend this money? It's really strange. Other parents are worried that their children will spend money recklessly, but my family is afraid that I won't spend money. They are trying their best to get me to spend money, and they are not happy if I don't spend it...]
Du Desheng and Qin Yanqing looked at each other, feeling somewhat helpless.
Their closest relatives are trying their best to take away all their money and connections, and they would like to squeeze out all their blood and collect all the bone residue for recycling.
The one in front of them was so good. She didn't dare to spend it casually even after washing it herself and giving it to her. They really didn't know what to say.
"Uncle, you misunderstood! I just... I just think that these are just small amounts of money, and I can get them with my own pocket money. Why would I need your awesome Supreme Black Card? Doesn't this lower the status of the card?"
Du Desheng leaned on his crutches and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Really?"
"Of course it's true." Duanrao said stiffly, "I'm going to stay in City B for a while. Are you still worried that I won't have money to spend? You also said that living in City B is expensive. It's not easy to make money, so isn't it easy to spend money? Don't feel bad for me if I spend too much."
"Listen to this, listen to this." Du Desheng pointed at Du Anrao and laughed loudly, "Then you have to work harder. Your uncle has a big family and a lot of wealth. If you can spend even a tiny amount of money and make your uncle feel bad, you're really capable."
Duanrao laughed dryly twice, his face full of embarrassment.
[Although I know that what Grandpa said is true, but isn't it a bit too... serious to say it out loud? I seriously suspect that those who covet Grandpa's property were all attracted by his high-profile and unrestrained display of wealth.]
The expert in showing off his wealth who couldn't express his grievances: "..."
Little heartless boy, how could your uncle not understand the principle of not showing off your wealth? But at his status and position, even if we don't know how much wealth he has, the things he has to show off are enough to make people excited.
Also, do you really think your great-uncle is a spendthrift old man who is so generous to everyone? It's just you and your grandmother Qin. If other people spend a penny from your great-uncle, they have to see if they can get it or spend it!
The depression and resentment in Du Desheng's eyes were too obvious, and Qin Yanqing felt helpless and amused: "Alright, alright, the child must be tired after encountering such a bad thing on her first day out here, so don't make things difficult for her. An An, are you hungry? Let's go eat."
【Grandma, you are really my dear grandma! 】
"Yeah, I want to eat roast duck and sauced chicken legs today."
"Yes, yes, yes. I asked your uncle Du Miao to prepare them when you were talking about them yesterday. There are also your favorite crab roe buns and sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Yes, yes, these are my favorite foods. Grandma, I really love you to death. If you continue like this, I will not be able to leave after you get married."
"If you don't want to leave, then don't go. Grandpa and grandma will always keep this land for you. Come back and live with us if you miss us."
"Uh-huh."
The old man and the young walked away holding each other's hands, but they left Du Desheng, the head of the family, alone.
But he was not angry. Just looking at the two people's backs, he felt that the missing piece in his heart was filled, and there was a little more smile on his face.
When the two men entered the inner room and were completely out of sight, Du Desheng winked at Amin.
Amin nodded and immediately turned and left.
It is conceivable how miserable the lives of those people after them will be.
Why pick on anyone else when he could pick on one of the two people that Master Jiu cares about the most? Now look what happened, he has gotten himself into trouble.
Perhaps it was because Du Anrao did not accept Qiu Jichen's apology and took the jewels from his branch for nothing, and the other party was worried that she was still angry.
The next morning, he called and said that someone had sent another gift and hoped that Duanrao would come out to pick it up, or just tell him the address and have someone send it over.
Du Anrao knew that if he didn't accept the gift, the other party would probably continue to think about it, so he simply asked Uncle Awen to help go out and get it.
When he took it back, he found that what Qiu Jichen sent was actually an invitation letter printed with gold-plated fonts?
"Duobao Pavilion?" Qin Yanqing had only recently arrived in City B and was not very familiar with the name. He turned to look at Ah Wen and said, "Have you heard of this store? What does it do?"
"Duobao Pavilion Auction House is the largest auction house in City B. This auction house collects rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings from all over the world, and holds an auction every quarter. Most of those who go to the auction are business tycoons and wealthy newcomers from City B and other places."
Duan Rao waved the invitation in his hand towards him: "Is this it?"
"Yes, but the one in the eldest lady's hand is an invitation to the annual meeting. It is more rare and valuable, and even more difficult to obtain."
“Are the invitations to the annual meeting different from the invitations to the quarterly auctions?”
"Their annual auction, which is also the last auction of each year, displays the most valuable treasures of the past year. At this time of year, wealthy people from all over the country will rush to participate in this auction, so the importance of this invitation letter also rises accordingly."
“…Isn’t this hunger marketing?”
Ah Wen was amused by her description. "You can say that, but the quality of the items sold by this auction house is well-known. It is indeed good. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many wealthy people from other places coming here."
[I see. What it means is that the things being auctioned are indeed rare enough and can be considered treasures, which is why so many leeks are rushing to pay for them.]
Qin Yanqing: “…” That’s not wrong.
"Does An An want to go to this auction?"
"Yes, I'll go." Duan Rao was worried about not finding a suitable wedding gift. If this auction house really had some rare treasures that were not available elsewhere, maybe she wouldn't have to worry about how to ask someone to help her go up the mountain and bring down one of the treasures she treasured in the Taoist temple.
Qin Yanqing learned that Duan Rao went to the auction for the two old people, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "If you want to go, we can go, but there will be many people at the auction, so remember to bring Awen and the others with you so that we can take care of them."
Knowing that the old man meant well, and that he was unfamiliar with City B and it would not be appropriate for him to go there alone, Du Anrao did not refuse.
The auction was in three days, but before that day, Jiang Younian called.
"Hmm? What did you say? Aunt wants to invite me to your house for dinner?"
