Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

Shi Xi felt overjoyed about this and was very grateful for Wei Yingchuan's understanding.

Boss Qi learned about his mission from her conversation with Wei Yingchuan and took the initiative to say:

"There's an auction tonight, but auctions usually require reservations in advance. I can try to see if I can squeeze in."

Although Boss Qi is not a professional antique dealer, he knows a lot of people in this circle.

He said this to Shi Xi because he wanted to use his connections to help Shi Xi get in through the back door and participate in tonight's auction.

"Please, Boss Qi, I'm waiting for your good news."

Shi Xi said something polite to him.

Boss Qi just smiled slightly. Since Wei Yingchuan asked him to help, he couldn't just ignore Shi Xi.

What's more, helping Shi Xi to attend the auction would also make money for him.

He took his cell phone and went to the next room to make a call.

Shi Xi was wandering around the store alone.

She has been here so many times, but she has never had a good look at the Qi family's shop.

She discovered that Boss Qi really loved his son Qi Ji. The wall above the cash register was covered with photos of Qi Ji, from a newborn baby to a big star now.

Shi Xi couldn't help but sigh:

"As expected of a star, he's been handsome since he was little!"

"I wonder what Miss Shi was like when she was a child?"

As soon as Shi Xi finished speaking, Qi Ji's voice came from behind.

His lazy voice carries a hint of a curious baby, and has a very sticky tone.

As a male star who debuted as a singer and dancer, he is not only handsome, but also has an exceptionally nice voice. He exudes the temptation that makes people want to fall in love.

Knowing that it was him, Shi Xi quickly turned around.

"Big star Qi, when did you come back? I didn't hear anyone come in at all."

Shi Xi awkwardly changed the subject.

Maybe I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't even notice there was someone standing behind me.

"Miss Shi, what good things did you bring here today?"

"Can I have a look too, and feast my eyes?"

Qi Ji asked curiously.

I always hear my father say that everything Shi Xi makes is top quality.

Now he is becoming more and more curious about the things Shi Xi sent.

"Look, I brought those five things on the table!"

Shi Xi raised her chin and motioned Qi Ji to look at the coffee table beside her.

Following her reminder, Qi Ji turned his head in that direction.

At just one glance, he became very interested in the things on the table.

Even though he was not a professional treasure appraiser, he knew that these items on the coffee table were all exquisite treasures.

Even if Shi Xi didn't want to sell these things to their family, being able to sell them through their Qi family would still bring them honor.

"Miss Shi, are you planning to sell it?"

Qi Ji asked for the sake of conversation, as if it was the opening remark for a deep communication with Shi Xi.

"I'm planning to sell it at an auction. You know my current situation. I'm really short of money."

Shi Xi didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.

Qi Ji had indeed heard his father mention Shi Xi's tragic experience and felt very sympathetic towards her.

"Miss Shi, don't be too sad. The Shi family doesn't know how to cherish you. They are just unlucky."

"If a girl like Miss Shi gets married, she will definitely be loved by her husband's family."

Shi Xi didn't quite agree with his last sentence.

It is very difficult to expect your husband's family to treat you well without the support of your parents.

"Thank you, but actually, what I lack the most is love."

She smiled, turned around and sat on the sofa, picking up the coffee cup elegantly.

This scene made Qi Ji stunned for a moment.

As an idol star, what kind of women has he not seen?

But it was also the first time I saw such a perfect blend of the two images of a strong woman and a little girl.

Although I just met Shi Xi, I always feel that she has a strong energy in her heart and a belief that ordinary people do not have.

Before the two could say anything else, Boss Qi came out.

"Miss Shi, I just contacted someone. Although we can squeeze into tonight's auction, I'm afraid the items you brought won't fetch a high price today."

"But the auction on the 19th is pretty good. The guests are all prominent figures from all walks of life. I think we can get the price you want."

Boss Qi briefly explained the current situation to Shi Xi.

After hearing this, Shi Xi felt a little embarrassed.

She was in urgent need of money, so she had to make sure she had tens of millions in her card. Otherwise, if Xiao Jingyan wanted anything else, how would she buy it?

Seeing her difficulty, Qi Ji asked in confusion:

"I remember there's no rush to pay off the supermarket's debt right now, right?"

"If you have any difficulties recently, please feel free to talk to us."

Qi Ji squatted down in front of Shi Xi, looking up at her like an older brother looking at a younger sister.

His debut character was a sunny and warm little sun, and he is well-known for his gentleness in the entertainment industry.

At this moment, squatting in front of Shi Xi and comforting her, he really looked like a warm-hearted brother next door.

Shi Xi shook her head. She felt embarrassed to borrow such a huge sum of tens of millions from everyone.

"I'll keep these five things and sell them on the 19th."

"But today I want to sell some other small things."

As she spoke, Shi Xi took out a pair of earrings that she had intended to give to Boss Qi and the others as a "tip".

The gourd is small and exquisite, and all around it are connected with gold wires. The gourd is made of jade, and it is decorated with small flowers made of gold wires as thin as hair.

If you look closely, you will see hollow carvings on the back of the jade gourd.

Such a small and fragile material can actually be carved into hollow patterns, which shows how skilled the craftsman is.

At the bottom, there is a white transparent crystal bead the size of a mung bean as a base.

This bead only serves to fix the gourd. It is just a tool and inconspicuous, but the material it is made of is extraordinary.

Boss Qi said that if calculated based on the current market price of jewelry, a ring made of such a small gem would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"Miss Shi, the things you brought are things I have never seen in my 30 or 40 years of work."

When Boss Qi saw the pair of earrings, he was deeply moved.

"Boss, please help me see how much this thing is worth?"

Shi Xi only cares about the price.

"This is an antique from the Great Yong Dynasty. It is extremely valuable for collection and research. It cannot be judged by the price of ordinary jewelry on the market."

Boss Qi talked about this and that but didn't say the price.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, it’s just that it’s really hard for him to say it.

If this item were placed in an ordinary family, it would not be an exaggeration to keep it as a family heirloom and pass it down through the ages.

"I have a few more pieces of jewelry like this."

"I think I can probably come up with three today. Boss Qi, please help me register for tonight's auction."

Since she couldn't make big money, Shi Xi could only exchange the jewelry for some small coins.

When Boss Qi heard that she was going to sell these things at the auction tonight, he instantly gave a look of approval.

"What a coincidence! Tonight's main auction is women's accessories."

"Most of the guests present are female entrepreneurs, wealthy wives, and A-list female celebrities!"

Boss Qi was talking with saliva flying around, and judging by his expression, he was even more excited than Shi Xi.

Opportunities only come to those who are prepared.

Tonight is not a good night to sell porcelain, but it is a very good night to sell jewelry.

Shi Xi was also very happy.

Hearing that most of the guests were wealthy women, she seemed to have already smelled the stench of money.
