Chapter 604 - Pendant’s Use (1)
From Sidekick to Bigshot
Then, the staff took out an intercom to contact his superior.
Very soon, a man in his fifties appeared in the private room. White hair could be seen on the manâs head.
âMr. Wen Cheng, youâre one of our long-time customers. However, why are you not respecting the rules today?â
âManager Zhu, I apologize for this. Itâs my fault. I did not clearly explain the rules to my wife,â Wen Cheng said hurriedly.
However, Manager Zhuâs expression did not change. He replied sternly:
âThis is not a matter of apologizing. Instead, itâs a matter of disrespecting the rules that we have in place. If you disrespect our rules, you will be blacklisted from Cai Ningxuan. From now on, you will not be allowed in here.â
Wen Cheng panicked when he heard this. Being on the blacklist for Cai Ningxuan meant that he could not enter buildings like this in the future.
To make matters worse, he dealt with antiques for work! This meant that the consequences were very serious for him.
It was much more serious than losing fifty million dollars!
Wen Cheng hurriedly said: âManager Zhu, weâre willing to buy this folding fan. We will definitely pay fifty million dollars! My wife just said the wrong thing! Please forgive her. Can you pretend that it didnât happen?â
âSorry. I donât plan to break the rules. I wonât change my decision. It doesnât matter if youâre unhappy with Cai Ningxuan.â
Manager Zhu was impartial and incorruptible. He was unwilling to accommodate Wen Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyueâs face turned incredibly pale.
When she saw her husbandâs anxious expression, she realized how serious the matter was.
It seemed as though she did a very stupid thing.
She hurriedly apologized to her husband: âIâm sorry... I just... I just acted impulsively... I didnât mean to do this... I...â
She regretted her decisions.
Although fifty million dollars was a large sum of money, it didnât mean as much as her husbandâs career. Her husbandâs career depended on antiques.
However, Manager Zhu was not moved by Cai Qinyueâs words. His expression was serious as he said: âMs. Wen, youâre an adult. You should be responsible for your words and actions.â
Then, Manager Zhu turned to speak to his men: âPlease ask Mr. Wen Cheng and his family to leave.â
The auction had only reached the midpoint.
However, as the rules had been broken, they were no longer considered guests of Cai Ningxuan.
âManager Zhu, please accommodate us,â Wen Cheng pleaded. His face was filled with sorrow.
However, Manager Zhu was expressionless. It was as though he had not heard Wen Chengâs words.
Then, his men walked towards the people seated in the private room to âinviteâ them out.
Manager Zhuâs actions destroyed the Wen familyâs last slither of hope.
Today, they were doomed to enter the blacklist of Cai Ningxuan.
Furthermore, Wen Cheng was very likely to be blacklisted by other antique businesses.
Wen Cheng had never imagined for this to happen.
However, things had escalated. He could no longer do anything about it.
Cai Qinyue was so remorseful that her intestines began to turn blue.
Wen Ruo hung her head down. She did not dare to say a word.
However, her body was trembling. She was incredibly scared.
Wen Nuan, on the other hand, was also frowning. She was deep in thought.
She knew that todayâs events would adversely affect her brother.
However, she could do nothing about it. If her brotherâs words had no impact on the situation, then she definitely could not get Cai Ningxuan to change their minds.
Jian Yiling did not say a single word. After she confirmed that they were being âinvitedâ out, she got up to leave with everyone else.
Jian Yiling walked past Manager Zhu.
Suddenly, the pendant on Jian Yilingâs neck caught Manager Zhuâs attention.
It was an ordinary-looking pendant.
As it was quite warm inside the building, Jian Yiling had taken off her jacket. When she got up to leave, the pendant was hanging outside of her clothes.
âWait!â Manager Zhu suddenly called out.
