That's how it is here; if you have money and power, you can get anything done.
Lu Yi caught a word in his mouth, "Saint-Face Auction House?"
Andy nodded. "That's right, it's the biggest auction house here. Every auction is very popular, and it's frequented by celebrities and high-ranking officials. That's why I said they're very powerful."
Moreover, Ford's uncle was an even more savage and brutal man than he was; he had achieved his current position through numerous instances of coercion and extortion. Ford learned this from his uncle.
Hearing this, Lu Yi suddenly had a feeling that there was no coincidence, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Old Pete and asked, "Did you keep your property certificate safe?"
Old Pete touched his eyes sadly, "I've kept it safe, I was just afraid Smith would take it from me."
"That's good. When you get home, check it carefully. Make sure no one takes it. Here's my contact information. Call me if you need anything, and I'll help you."
Andy and the others also promised, "We also bear some responsibility for this, and we will go back with Old Pete."
In the meantime, let's help him sell some of those agricultural products. Since we haven't received any money from Ford, we don't need to worry about anything. We'll deal with any problems later.
"If Smith comes, we'll stop him too. He lied to us, and we're no longer friends with him."
Hearing this, Lu Yi looked at them with newfound respect, "Alright, call me when the time comes and tell me the location, I'll come and take a look."
"Okay, goodbye, thank you so much for today."
"It's okay, we'll be going now."
After saying goodbye, Lu Yi and his group lost their desire to buy anything and went straight home.
Yan Xiu'er said angrily, "What kind of country is this, which claims to be governed by the rule of law? How could such a thing as forcibly seizing land happen?"
Lu Yi scoffed, "It just goes to show how powerful capital is. But what a coincidence..."
Lu Yi and Ye Ran exchanged a glance, both seeing the deeper meaning in each other's eyes.
The next day, Chen Zheng and Qingzhu returned and reported the latest developments; their plan was starting to take shape.
Director Huang and his group went directly to handle the matter with Chen Zheng and the others.
Lu Yi and Ye Ran arrived at the Saint-Face Auction House as planned.
Upon entering, they immediately sensed that this place was extraordinary. The decor and hospitality were impeccable, which explained its large scale.
Upon seeing Lu Yi and his companion enter, the receptionist greeted them warmly, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Lu Yi got straight to the point, saying, "I have a few items in my collection that I'd like to put up for auction here."
The receptionist immediately gestured for them to wait a moment, and then promptly called over the assessor.
The assessor, wearing a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses, slowly walked out; surprisingly, he was Chinese.
Upon arriving, he greeted Lu Yi and the others with a smile, "Oh, we're from the same hometown! It's so heartwarming."
Where are your collections? I need to examine them in person to determine their exact value.
Don't worry, as long as it has enough value, I will definitely upgrade its grade for you, and then it will definitely fetch a high price at auction.
As you should know, the people here are quite fascinated by some of China's treasures.
Lu Yi looked at him and showed him the briefcase in his hand. "Here, are you planning to let me take it out right here?"
"Of course not, please come this way."
Lu Yi and Ye Ran followed him into the inner room. Looking at the completely enclosed space, Lu Yi placed his bag on the table. "Take a look and see if it meets your standards..."
