If Shi Zhuoqu's modification of the reserve price was not discovered immediately, Jin Xiaoyuan would have no way to deal with him. As long as he ran away, who could catch him?

Jin Xiaoyuan didn't know the inside story of the auction house, so of course he just swallowed his anger. But now that the truth has been exposed, he naturally can't swallow this, and he must get back on track!

Jin Xiaoyuan was inspired by Chu Qianli, and said righteously: "Muxing, think about it, this time it was us who were in trouble. If other ordinary people encountered this kind of thing, how would they defend themselves? We must not encourage this kind of evil trend, we must teach them a lesson!"

Tan Muxing complained weakly: "...I always feel that what Uncle Jin said is particularly discordant."

He felt that Jin Xiaoyuan was, in a sense, also part of the evil tendencies of G City.

However, the other party's price-changing operation was indeed illegal, so Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing didn't say anything more. They simply slipped away and let Jin Xiaoyuan and the auction house handle the matter.

After a while, the big men in black knocked on the door and entered the house, and Shi Zhuoqu and others were trapped in it. Shi Zhuoqu also avoided contact with people around him. He came in with a frown on his face, much calmer than his companions.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing hid in the hut. They peeked outside and were surprised to see Shi Zhuoqu. The two had accompanied Mei Ru Z to the hotel. Shi Zhuoqu was the employer's younger brother, and now he was here for unknown reasons.

Shi Zhuoqu straightened his collar, his face as cold as ice, and said in a cold voice: "I want to see a lawyer and the police."

He was exceptionally calm and seemed fearless.

Jin Xiaoyuan noticed that Shi Zhuoqu had a cold and hard attitude and was unrepentant, so he said in a stern voice: "You are so arrogant! You didn't even go to G City to ask around. Don't you know that this area belongs to me, Master Jin?"

Chu Qianli was watching the excitement from behind. She commented with great interest: "This is really a typical villain's speech."

Tan Muxing: "..."

"I've heard of Mr. Jin's great name." Shi Zhuoqu learned of Jin Xiaoyuan's identity from the words. He remained calm in the face of the threat, and even calmly pulled out a chair and sat down slowly.

Jin Xiaoyuan immediately frowned: "Hey, hey, hey, who told you to sit down!"

Shi Zhuoqu took out a business card, slowly placed it on the table, pushed it towards Jin Xiaoyuan sitting opposite him, and raised his eyes to signal the other party to look.

"What do you mean? Why are you pretending?" Jin Xiaoyuan touched the business card unhappily. He was shocked when he saw the logo on it. "...Are you from Monderson?"

The person in front of him turned out to be a senior executive of Mondsen, a huge world-class group with businesses spanning various fields and influence covering the globe.

Shi Zhuoqu nodded: "Mr. Jin, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

Inside the hut, Chu Qianli glanced at Shi Zhuoqu's new business card from a distance and found that it was different from the ones he had received before. He said aggrievedly, "The one he gave me last time was not like this. He just gave me an auction house business card to send me away. Does he look down on me?!"

Tan Muxing consoled him kindly: "Maybe he just got promoted."

Shi Zhuoqu may feel that the auction house's business card cannot control Jin Xiaoyuan, so he now reveals his true identity in order to make Jin Xiaoyuan know his limits.

Sure enough, Jin Xiaoyuan hesitated after seeing the business card. He handed it to the person next to him and used his eyes to instruct his subordinates to check it.

"If you don't believe me, I can call now and ask someone to verify my identity." Shi Zhuoqu stared at the other party's expression and said calmly, "I don't know why you want to bid for lot 1134, but I still hope you can give it up."

Shi Zhuoqu originally wanted to buy back the sample stone at a relatively low price, but unexpectedly, things went wrong. Jin Xiaoyuan suddenly appeared to compete for the sample stone, and he was able to quickly figure out the price-changing tactics, and even had the guts to capture the group directly, forcing Shi Zhuoqu into a difficult situation.

He would definitely be held accountable for spending a high price to retrieve the sample stone, but it would not be appropriate to do so now that the group was trapped.

Jin Xiaoyuan said unhappily, "What do you mean by giving up? If I hadn't discovered your tricks, I would have been fooled by you!"

The two of them competed all the way to a high price, but Shi Zhuoqu did not follow up later, but instead made some small moves in private, which would make no one happy.

Shi Zhuoqu did not deny what he heard. He showed no shame at all and said calmly, "It's useless for you to bid for lot 1134. Why bother to get upset over such a small matter? It's better to do a favor. Maybe the two sides can cooperate in the future."

"How do you know it's useless for me to take the photo!?"

"Because this stone is really worthless and can't even be made into jewelry, you can definitely ask someone to appraise it."

Jin Xiaoyuan was skeptical: "If it's really not worth the money, would you still take the photo?"

Shi Zhuoqu: "To be honest, this is a sample that was stolen from a group project. We are willing to spend a lot of money to recover it, but we don't want the subsequent projects to be leaked. However, the sample itself is not valuable."

Chu Qianli hid nearby. She heard Shi Zhuoqu's logical and careful expression and said thoughtfully, "What he said was half true and half false. It's obvious that he is a liar."

Tan Muxing: "He seems to know what a stone is."

Chu Qianli sighed: "More than that, judging from his tone, he is sure that other people can't use it, otherwise he wouldn't say that."

Shi Zhuoqu seemed to be convinced that it was useless for Jin Xiaoyuan to take the rough stone No. 1134. He was still lobbying: "Mr. Jin, this project is very important to the group. We are involved in a lot of business around the world. I know you are very familiar with this auction house. If you are willing to make it convenient, we can talk about many things in the future."

Jin Xiaoyuan became suspicious after hearing this.

Mondsen is indeed well-known. No wonder Shi Zhuoqu was not nervous when he was detained. He was sure that others would not dare to do anything.

Chu Qianli looked at Jin Xiaoyuan, she touched her chin and thought: "Now is the time to test people. Should they cling to the old thighs or the new thighs? It can be said that it is a node selection."

Jin Xiaoyuan values ​​the Tan family, that's why he is so warm to Tan Muxing, but Mondsen is more powerful than the Tan family, so he may not stand on Chu Qianli's side. This is the natural fickleness of human nature.

Tan Muxing said, "I'm not familiar with Uncle Jin, so I don't know what he thinks."

Shi Zhuoqu said politely: "You can name a price. How much is it worth?"

Jin Xiaoyuan was very conflicted at this moment, mainly because he had promised to give the things to Tan Muxing and others, and he had already said it, but now he was going back on his word, which was inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.

Jin Xiaoyuan has a vulgar temperament and is arrogant and domineering, but he is not stupid and can see the ins and outs clearly.

Although Mondsen is much more powerful than the Tan family, Shi Zhuoqu is just a wage earner after all, and throwing stones at him won't have much effect. Tan Muxing is a member of the Tan family, so the relationship is different, and improving his favor is obviously more effective than Shi Zhuoqu.

Furthermore, Mondsen is indeed famous, but Jin Xiaoyuan is not going out to develop. He knows very well that he can only survive in G City. Comparing the two, Tan Jia is more reliable, at least he is visible and tangible.

Jin Xiaoyuan figured out the pros and cons. He immediately became arrogant and said in a rough voice: "What Mondsen? Even if the king of heaven comes today, I will not give up this stone. I will definitely take it!"

Shi Zhuoqu: “?”

When Jin Xiaoyuan thought about the fact that Tan Muxing and the others were still next door, his performance became more and more exaggerated. He distanced himself from Shi Zhuoqu decisively, and he wished he could exude a stern aura that said, "Don't even think about using your power to suppress me!"

Shi Zhuoqu: "But it's not worth much. If you miss it, it will be difficult to sell it later..."

"I don't care if it's worth the money or not. I'll just buy it and put it at home to look at and play with it. Isn't that okay?!"

“…”

Shi Zhuoqu was totally unable to understand Jin Xiaoyuan's train of thought. He was now using both soft and hard tactics, but the other party was stubborn and seemed to be holding on to the sample stone and refused to let go. The situation became difficult.

Inside the hut, Chu Qianli heard this and exclaimed, "I didn't expect the local tyrant to be so firm in his stance. This is beyond my expectation."

Tan Muxing was surprised: "...I didn't expect Uncle Jin to be so persistent about our family. After all, Monderson is much more powerful than our family."

Tan Muxing didn't know if it was because people in his family didn't like flattery, which led to Jin Xiaoyuan being frustrated repeatedly when he tried to get close to him. Instead, he became stubborn and refused to admit defeat. He was willing to give up the more brilliant Mondsen and continue to fight with the Tan family.

What kind of mentality is this? The ingenuity of a bootlicker?

Perhaps you need extreme belief to succeed in anything.

Chu Qianli suddenly thought of something. She looked at Tan Muxing and urged him earnestly, "Do you have his WeChat? Quick, send him a message, and don't say anything too harsh!"

Tan Muxing took out his cell phone, not knowing why, and edited the information according to Chu Qianli's instructions.

On the other side, Shi Zhuoqu frowned and said, "How about this, if you have any conditions, you can directly put them forward. If my authority is not enough, I will also communicate with the group, as long as you are willing to give up the sample stone."

He saw that Jin Xiaoyuan was not confident enough in himself and probably was unsure of his influence in the group.

"Give in? What are you giving in to? That's not in my dictionary..." Jin Xiaoyuan was bragging when he suddenly glanced at the message on his phone and saw the suggestion sent by Tan Muxing. He quickly changed the topic and said, "...I can set the conditions?"

"Yes, I know you have a lot of business in City G. Even cooperation between companies is fine."

"Don't be so cynical about business, just be straightforward. You can get stones if you want..." Jin Xiaoyuan received the order, and he spread out the five fingers of both hands, threw them on the ground and said loudly, "This is the amount you give!"

Chu Qianli wanted to know how much the No. 1134 rough stone meant to Shi Zhuoqu and the others, so she came up with a perverse idea and asked Jin Xiaoyuan to quote an astronomical figure. Since Shi Zhuoqu swore that the sample stone was worthless, they might as well use this trick to test the truth, and maybe even expose the person behind Shi Zhuoqu.

"One hundred million?" Shi Zhuoqu was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing with displeasure, but he had no better solution, so he made a move to get up and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the group first."

He originally wanted to lower the bid, but who would have thought that he would be shot by Jin Xiaoyuan. One hundred million is much more than 70 million.

Jin Xiaoyuan said angrily: "Who told you that one hundred million is enough to send away a beggar? I want ten hundred million!"

Shi Zhuoqu had just been unable to accept it. Now, after hearing the ridiculously high price, he could not believe it and said, "Impossible! How is this different from robbery?"

"I am indeed trying to steal yours now!"

“…”
