Chapter 123 – Auction Company (1/2)
The next day.
Beijing.
Although Dong Xuebing had a lot to ask Qu Yunxuan about her transfer, he did not return back to Heping Road first. He wanted to auction off his pearl necklace first. He felt uncomfortable to carry it with him. He was afraid that someone might steal it. After alighting from the train and eat some lunch, he boarded a bus to Nan Xing Hua Road. He asked around for directions and then walked towards Liu Li Chang East Street.
Hanhai Auction.
This was not a big company, and there were a few people there chatting softly among themselves. One man was carrying a porcelain item, and another man was holding on to a bronze funnel. An expert was there appraising their items. These items had to be valued before it could be put up for auction. This place was not the location where the auction company auctions the things. The auctions would typically take place at a hotel ballroom or conference room. This place was only for collecting items.
Dong Xuebing walked to the counter and said to a female staff: “I want to put up something up for sales at the auction.”
The female staff looked at him: “Hi sir, what item do you want to put up for auction?”
“Jewellery.” Dong Xuebing said. “A pearl necklaces.”
“Ok. Please wait here for a while.” The staff made a call and said something. After she hangs up, she turned to Dong Xuebing and smiles. “Teacher Sun will be coming down. Please wait for a while.”
“Ok.”
The rest area has a water dispenser. Dong Xuebing helped himself to the water. He poured himself a cup of warm water and finishes in one gulp.
A man in his 30s walked downstairs after a while. The female staff pointed to Dong Xuebing, and Dong Xuebing walked over. Teacher Sun looked at the locked money case in Dong Xuebing’s hands and smiled. “Can I take a look at the item?”
Dong Xuebing was worried others might see it: “Can I show you in private?”
Teacher Sun hesitated for a few seconds and nodded: “Ok. Come with me.”
A small office on the second floor.
“Haha, there is no one to disturb us here.” Teacher Sun sat down with Dong Xuebing on the leather sofa. “This is a pearl necklace? Where did you get it from? Have you apprised it before?”
“Not yet. I got it from Zhuji.”
“Oh?”
Dong Xuebing enter the pin to unlock his money case. “Can you take a look for me?”
Actually, Dong Xuebing does not even need to ask. He had seen the pearls coming out from the pearl mussels with his own eyes. These pearls can’t be fakes.
