Seeing the Nine-Petal Lotus Cold Iron Cauldron once again, Lin Zichen felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

To an apothecary, this was indeed an exciting matter. He thought that he would have no chance of meeting this cauldron, but it seemed like fate had not yet come to an end.

Since there was still a chance of meeting again, it meant that there was still a sliver of hope to obtain it!

He discovered that the introduction of this cauldron was different from the other items that were auctioned. The descriptions of the other items were extremely detailed, and there were even descriptions of the other pictures and texts in the middle. However, the four-sided cauldron only had a few lines.

Furthermore, these words were not very substantial, and did not even mention the time, the material, or the craftsmanship. From this, Lin Zichen was certain that this auction was nothing more than a pretense for the four cauldrons.

However, he did not understand why the other party would use such a method. He had clearly already obtained it, yet he still needed to go through the formalities of another auction.

Seeing Lin Zi Chen's expression, Fang Ning could also tell that there was something Lin Zi Chen wanted here. However, with her experience, she did not immediately speak up, but maintained her calm instead.

”Alright Vice President Chen, we've finished reading it. Thank you very much.”

Chen Feng nodded with a smile and closed his notebook. After all, this was a violation of the rules. Since Fang Ning had finished reading, he had also called for someone to take it away.

”Miss Fang, did you see anything in advance when you came to participate in the two auctions this time?”

”Oh? If Vice President Chen asks, can you do something? ” Fang Ning said.

Chen Feng smiled and said, ”Haha, it's artificial. There's an owner for all the items being auctioned. As long as we're willing to pay a reasonable price, it's still possible.”

Fang Ning did not rush to answer, but first turned her head to look at Lin Zichen. It was clear that she was not interested, since she did not know anything about antiques. However, Lin Zichen definitely had his eyes on something.

However, Lin Zichen did not give Fang Ning any response. Instead, he pretended to be clueless as he looked around. This once again aroused Chen Feng's disdain within his heart.

He was definitely a bumpkin. Even if Miss Fang hadn't helped him just now for some reason, they were indeed friends. They were probably friends with very different positions as well. They definitely didn't have many interactions during normal times.

Fang Ning was the grand daughter of the Yunshan Group, and she also held an important position. How could she have the time to keep in touch with such a petty person?

”Hur hur, I'm just a layman. Actually, participating in the auction is just for show. If I were to make a move, I'd have to trouble Vice President Chen to support me.” Fang Ning said politely.

”That's only natural, Miss Fang. Why don't you stay for lunch?”

”Hehe, there's no need for lunch. I still have other things to do.” Fang Ning said.

Chen Feng nodded, feeling somewhat disappointed. He did not want to miss this chance to fawn over a wealthy person.

”Alright, you can call me anytime if you need to,” Chen Feng took out his business card and handed it over. ”Also, Miss Fang, Governor Guo has already booked a hotel for you, you...”

”Director Guo, you've troubled yourself. But I'm here to stay at a friend's house, so there's no need.”

As she spoke, Fang Ning picked up her bag and headed out of the meeting room.

Chen Feng could not help but feel embarrassed. His face was somewhat hot. Although he was a rich young girl, this was too impolite. Leaving just like that...

Of course, Fang Ning did not have a good impression of Chen Feng in her heart. The reason was very simple — it was the conflict between him and Lin Zichen outside the auction house.

Lin Zi Chen shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, then stood up and walked out as well.

Looking at Lin Zichen's expression, Chen Feng was furious. What was this thing? It was simply Miss Fang's presence. If you were by yourself, I would have made it so that you couldn't even take half a step into the auction house!

However, although he was displeased, Chen Feng still hurriedly got up and sent Fang Ning out of the auction house. He had originally wanted to send a car out to specially send Fang Ning off, but he was rejected.

Fang Ning was naturally happy to be alone with Lin Zichen for a while. She silently vexed over Chen Feng's endless actions as she said, ”Vice President Chen, there's no need for you to send me off. I also rarely come to Beijing recently. I want to walk by myself.”

”Alright then, Miss Fang. If you need anything, you can call me.”

Walking past the corner of the street, Fang Ning said, ”Zi Chen, you seemed to be very interested in the second item list just now.”

Only then did Lin Zi Chen nod his head, and said with a smile: ”Hur Hur, you saw through it?”

”Of course, how could you not see that? Your eyes were already glowing with a green light just now.” Fang Ning couldn't help but laugh as she covered her mouth.

”Hur hur, is that so?”

”Of course, I don't understand those antiques. Which one do you like? ”I'll talk to President Guo, let's just buy it directly.” Fang Ning said with a serious expression.

”Buy? I'm afraid it's not that easy. ” Lin Zi Chen shook his head and said.

”Hmm? How could that be? Didn't that Chen Feng say just now that the people I like can operate it? ” Fang Ning asked, puzzled.

Lin Zi Chen smiled: ”That thing is different, I can even guess his approximate transaction price.”

”Oh? ”Since when did I change to be Zhou Yi's fortune-teller? Haha, tell me.”
