Manager Cui took off his coat without hesitation, and even took off the manager's badge tied around his waist, and handed them to the maid standing next to Shen Yao.

"Goodbye!" Manager Cui bowed deeply to Shen Yao, then turned and left.

Jiang Xue had never expected that Manager Cui would be so frank and straightforward, and she couldn't help but applaud him.

"Okay, Manager Cui, please wait a moment!" Jiang Xue saw the disappointment on Manager Cui's face and quickly called out to him.

"Cui Zhu..." Jiang Xue called softly.

Cuizhu heard the sound and hurried forward, putting her ear close to Jiang Xue. Then, Jiang Xue whispered a few words to Cuizhu.

After hearing this, Cuizhu nodded repeatedly, then walked towards Manager Cui, covered her mouth with her hand, and said something to Manager Cui in a low voice.

After listening to this, Manager Cui frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Xue with a cautious look.

After a while, he seemed a little hesitant, but finally he slowly left the crowd.

"What are you still standing there for?" The crowd standing at the entrance of the auction saw Manager Cui leave. One man also wanted to leave, but was pulled by the sleeve by a man next to him.

"Although we brothers have a good relationship with Manager Cui, that was his choice. If you lose this job, what will happen to your wife and children at home?" the man on the side whispered.

The man who was about to take a step forward finally took it back because of his words.

"Why are you still standing there?" Shen Yao looked impatiently at the people who were standing there motionless.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stepped forward. After all, they usually listened to Manager Cui, and now that Manager Cui was gone, they didn't want to listen to the eldest lady.

If the head of the Shen family knew about this, they would also be punished. When Manager Cui came out just now, he had already sent people out from the backyard to look for the head of the Shen family.

"Hmph!" Shen Yao said, and she mobilized the wood-type spiritual power in her body and attacked towards Jiang Xue.

With a "bang..." sound.

Shen Yao turned around angrily and saw a middle-aged man walking towards her, followed by a servant from the auction venue.

"Daddy, she bullied me, and you even dissolved my spiritual power." Shen Yao trotted to the man and said with a face full of grievance.

This man was dignified and handsome, and he was wearing a gorgeous white jade silk robe, which showed his majesty and temperament. He was the head of the Shen family, and at this moment he was looking at Jiang Xue with a look of majesty without anger.

"All of you retreat!" Seeing that the people at the door were still hesitating, the head of the Shen family waved his hand.

Those people fled the scene quickly as if they had been pardoned. They just wanted to do their jobs peacefully, get a salary to support their families, and didn't want to get into any trouble at all.

The head of the Shen family turned around and looked at the crowd of people who were joining in the fun. He couldn't help but feel a headache. "Okay, everyone, go away. It's just a little friction between a few children."

After saying this, he personally went out and dispersed the onlookers.

Then, he brought Shen Yao, who looked aggrieved, to Jiang Xue.

"The eldest lady of the Jiang family, I didn't expect that she is not as timid and cowardly as the legend says."

The head of the Shen family stared at Jiang Xue who was looking straight at him, thinking secretly in his heart.

There was no fear in Jiang Xue's eyes, instead, there was a firmness and sharpness. Based on the experience of the head of the Shen family who had seen countless people, it was rare for someone as young as Jiang Xue to have such an expression.

"Miss Jiang, do you want to go in and take a look at the auction?" The head of the Jiang family walked to the door of the auction and suddenly turned around and asked.

"No need!" Jiang Xue said and left with Cuizhu.

"Miss, besides the Shen family's auction, there is another one in the capital, but that business is not as good as this one." Cuizhu said after thinking for a moment.

Cuizhu said this and took Jiang Xue in another direction. After walking a long way around, they finally arrived at the auction that Cuizhu mentioned.

Jiang Xue walked directly into the auction building. There was no guard at the door. When they walked in, the lights were dim. The space was large and at first glance, the hall was filled with many tables and chairs.

There are many small rooms on the second and third floors, separated from each other.

The auction venue, which should have been bustling, was now as quiet as the place for burning incense in a temple. They stood there for a long time, but no one came out to greet them.

"Boss! Is anyone there?" The only moment of peace was broken by Cuizhu's voice.

Perhaps hearing the sound of the green bamboo, the door next door opened with a creaky sound.

A man looked into the lobby, saw two women, and opened all the doors!

The man walked out of the room, followed by a man with a round belly. On the thumbs of both hands were golden and high-quality jade-colored rings, and he looked wealthy.

"Boss Chen, please add some more!" The man sighed and begged at the other man.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

"Alas, young lady, you don't know that my auction house is the oldest in the capital. It has been 20 years now. Unfortunately, in the capital, strength is king. The Shen family has been rising in the past ten years, and many of my customers have gone to the Shen family's auction house."

As the man spoke, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"I'm at the end of my rope now. I can't afford to run this shop anymore."

"Boss Chen, right? Let's talk." Jiang Xue said, looking at the chubby man in front of her.

"I wonder how the lady would like to talk?" The man made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue walked to that seat and sat down, and the man sat next to her.

"I want to buy this place. Why don't you name a price?" Jiang Xue said politely to the man in his twenties or thirties in front of her.

"Girl, are you sure about this place?" The man looked Jiang Xue up and down curiously.

"Girl, since we are discussing cooperation, you might as well be sincere." The man pointed at the veil on Jiang Xue's face and said.

Jiang Xue thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. She was not someone who could not be seen by others, so there was no need for her to cover her face all the time.

So she took off her veil, revealing a stunning face. The man standing next to her and Boss Chen in front of her were both stunned.

"The girl is truly stunningly beautiful, no wonder she covers her face with a veil." Boss Chen said with a light cough.

He thought Jiang Xue had an ugly face under her veil, but he didn't expect her to be so beautiful.

"Girl, what do you plan to use this place for?" Boss Chen asked curiously.

"Of course, it's opening an auction house! I hope you can keep this matter confidential." Jiang Xue looked at the two of them and said.
