Fatty Lai was getting prouder and prouder at the decision of following Lin Yi! His stupid elder brother thought that he was very smart to get into the electronics industry. But little did he know that Fatty Lai had a better investment; the electronics industry was nothing at all!
Only when youâre standing at the top can you have a clear vision of their future! So far, working for Lin Yi was greater than managing the electronics industry!
Lin Yi flipped through the pages and found that the catalog mostly contained sculptures, famous drawings, calligraphy, and some sort of weird celebrity dating vouchers. The celebrities shown on the second day were obviously more well known than on the first day.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOh right, are they selling the Xu Shihan dating voucher?â Lin Yi scanned through the celebrity catalog and couldnât find a name he recognized so he just asked.
âUhâ¦â Fatty Lai blinked and smiled wryly. âBoss, are you interested in her?â
âNah.â Lin Yi shook his head. âIâve got friends who adore her very much; buy one if you can.â
Lin Yi knew that Yaoyao and Yushu were diehard fans of Xu Shihan, so if he could obtain a voucher he wouldnât mind buying for them since they were nice to him!
âIs that so! I thought you liked her, Boss! Fatty Lai then shook his head and continued, âYeah right, if you were her fan, you wouldnât not know that!â
âKnow what?â Lin Yi asked.
âXu Shihanâs background! There havenât been any rumours about her, none whatsoever since she debuted, but no oneâs been able to find out her background! However, many of the people who tried to investigate her have gone missingâ¦.â Fatty Lai whispered.
âTheyâre missing?â Lin Yi furrowed his brows. It seemed that Xu Shihan had a strong background. Better to leave her aside. He had enough trouble as it was and didnât want a fierce girl to have anything to do with him.
âYeah, they all went missing! They might have ran away after being threatened or just vanished from the Earth, who knows?â Fatty Lai said. âItâs no secret in high society.â
âNever mind then, Iâve no interest in her anymore.â Lin Yi continued flipping through the pages.
Fatty Lai sensed that his boss had really lost interest in her, so he stopped talking or else he would have continued persuading him. Although his boss was strong, the girl wasnât someone they ought to provoke.
Suddenly, Lin Yi focused on the name of the item mentioned by Fatty Lai, the millenium snow lotus.
However, his gaze wasnât on the herb, but the box containing it!
Fatty Lai noticed Lin Yi staring at the herb, so he thought that Lin Yi was interested. He provided, âIt was found in a cave along with some medical manuals and other herbs, but the millenium snow lotus is the most precious items of them all!â
âA starting price of 5 million? How much will the final price be?â Lin Yi asked.
âYes, starts at 5 million, but the final price is hard to predict since this is a rarity. If someone really needs it, itâs going to a good price for sure, but if not, the price wonât go too far from the starting price!â
âOh?â Lin Yi nodded. âGet it for me tomorrow.â
âDidnât you say that it wasnât of much use, Boss?â Fatty Lai nodded but still asked anyway.
âHaha, the snow lotus is not needed but I want the box.â Lin Yi pointed at the box in the catalog.
âThe box?â Fatty Lai blinkee, but he chose to shut up and nod. âSure, sure, Iâll try my best.â
âForget about it if it exceeds 100 million,â Lin Yi said.
This box was made of a tree called Seseli wannianchun. When herbs were put inside a box made of that wood, it could preserve the herbs for 10,000 years. Other than that, it could also promote ripening, purifying, and refining of herbs.
However, this information was only written in one of the ancient scrolls in his old manâs collection. The herbs that were mentioned in the ancient scrolls were mostly mythical herbs. They no longer existed!
Lin Yi only happened to read it as entertainment when he was young. Little did he know that he would encounter one of the items mentioned in the scroll! But Lin Yi wasnât sure that if the box was the real deal. He just found the boxâs name and appearance similar to the one he had read about. He wasnât sure if the two were the same thing!
Besides, the ancient scrolls only introduced the quality of the items. Not many details were written about them. The function and usage were not mentioned either, so Lin Yiâs curiosity was piqued, and he asked Fatty Lai to obtain it if at all possible.
Lin Yi did not pin much hope on getting the box, because he wasnât sure if the box was useful, nor did he know how to use it, but if he could obtain it, he could study and research it.
âOK! Iâll try!â Fatty Lai nodded, mentally jotting down Lin Yiâs request.
He wasnât interested in the other auction items, so he flipped back to the cover and put the catalog aside. âMiracle Doctor Kangâs special edition Golden Creation, is it being auctioned tomorrow?â
âYeah, tomorrow!â Fatty Lai nodded as he giggled, âHehe, their Golden Creation would sell out instantly in normal circumstances! Why donât we auction our special edition injury medicine as well tomorrow? Hassle them a bit?â
âItâs fine, just ignore them.â Lin Yi waved it off. It wasnât something that would affect House Kang, so Lin Yi didnât see the need to interfere.
âOK, ignoring them. Boss, come! Letâs drink!â Fatty Lai noticed that Lin Yi had finished eating the dumplings and looking through the catalog, so he poured him a glass and raised his own glass for a toast. âBoss, this is for you, letâs drink til weâre drunk! In celebration of our newly founded company!â
âHahaâ¦â Lin Yi smiled as he raised his glass. No one was ever his equal when drinking, but seeing the happy faces of Fatty Lai and Xuemin, Lin Yi chose to not mention that and started drinking with them.
