The two had never even met, so there was absolutely no affection between them.
Han Chengbo's smile grew even more respectful: "Okay, then I'll go down first. If you need anything, just press the bell to call me."

Huo Yuntang checked the time and beckoned to his assistant, asking, "What's going on? Hasn't the auction started yet?"
Xie Ziyuan was also somewhat surprised. Large-scale auctions like this attract elites from various families, and they are not people who can be easily offended.
Why is there still no sign of anything after the allotted time? This isn't the first time the organizers have held this event, so how could such a mistake happen?
Soon, there was a knock on the door of their private room. It was a staff member who had specifically informed them that the auction would be delayed for a while.
As a CEO who strategizes and makes decisive moves in the business world, Huo Yuntang was naturally dissatisfied with such a vague statement.
"Why is there a delay? And how long will the delay last?"
The staff member maintained a polite smile throughout: "We don't know the exact time either; we have to wait for instructions from above."
"As for why there was a delay—"
He paused for a moment. It wasn't that he couldn't say it; anyway, the leaders above seemed quite happy, so it must be a good thing.
"It's because we have distinguished guests, and these auction items should be given priority for them to choose from."
Everyone present was stunned.
After the staff left, Xie Ziyuan still looked a little dazed, but soon she smiled and said, "If that's the case, then he must be a very impressive person."
The fact that so many powerful families are making them wait obediently suggests that the other party is not simply rich and powerful.
Huo Yuntang had no objections at this moment. The capital city was full of hidden talents, which was why the Huo family was desperately trying to squeeze into the capital's high society.
When someone reaches a certain level of power, they do indeed have the ability to silence everyone and make them wait obediently.
Xie Zhendong was also somewhat astonished: "That alchemist must be very powerful. I wonder who that expert is."
Xie Ziyuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. One day, she too would surely become a highly respected figure.
Huo Yuntang suddenly remembered something: "What if that expert takes all the medicinal herbs we want..."
He came here in person today not just to accompany Xie Ziyuan, but because he heard that twenty Sacred Heart Fruits would be offered at this auction.
He has now entered the world of ancient martial arts, and his physical abilities need to be significantly improved to keep up. Naturally, the more of this sacred object that can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons, the better.
Xie Ziyuan also expressed some concern: "Yes, I consulted ancient texts and found a good method to strengthen the heart meridian. It involves using Sacred Heart Fruit to make a decoction, which is very beneficial for maintaining Grandpa's condition..."
Worrying won't help; they got the "earth" license plate, making it difficult to beat others.
Huo Yuntang did bring a lot of money, but in this kind of situation, throwing money at someone might not make a splash.
Fortunately, the auction started soon. Xie Ziyuan quickly glanced at the list and found that a few items were missing, but the Sacred Heart Fruit was still there.
This was truly an unexpected surprise. Given their strength, and with Huo Yuntang having prepared enough money, they might actually be able to snatch one or two.
"If my sister were here, I could have a good chat with her about my alchemy skills."
Besides the Sacred Heart Fruit, Xie Ziyuan also had all the other medicinal herbs she wanted, so she was bound to make a profit today no matter what.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuntang gave his assistant a subtle look.
Assistant Huo, somewhat smug, quietly gave an OK sign.
