Capítulo 866: Chapter 866: For the Sake of the Nation
This Emperor Green is rare, and the exquisite Fu Lu Shou is even rarer!
When everyone saw the jade from Jinyu Square, they thought to themselves: No wonder Family Cheng is so confident, daring to challenge the King of Bids, because they have such a prized treasure.
Such a vividly beautiful Fu Lu Shou jade would undoubtedly hold its own even in the international market.
The chief official couldn’t hide his delight and clapped his hands, saying, “Family Cheng is truly noble, noble indeed!”
Upon hearing this, everyone thought: Noble? It’s all about making money; what’s noble about that?
However, at this point, no one was willing to stand up against the chief official and Family Cheng.
Among those present, the only ones showing a slight change in expression were Fan San and Xia Chuyi.
Fan San’s face was sowhat strange and complicated, and he couldn’t help but look at Xia Chuyi, waiting for her decision.
Then suddenly, Xia Chuyi chuckled lightly, deliberately drawing out her words, and said loudly, “Fu Lu Shou, it is indeed a good piece of jade…”
Her tone was sowhat peculiar, instantly catching the attention of Family Cheng: “Young lady, what do you an by this?”
Family Cheng asked Xia Chuyi with a rather displeased tone.
Xia Chuyi remained calm and said, “Oh, nothing. I just wanted to ask Family Cheng… do you think that because your Jinyu Square’s Fu Lu Shou is such a rare and exquisite jade, you can ignore the rules and cut in line at the last mont?”
Upon hearing this, Family Cheng sneered and said, “Young lady, how can contributing to the national good be ignoring the rules?”
“The original purpose of the Jade Conference is promotion.” Family Cheng said, “Now, our Jade Workshop is contributing exquisite jade, isn’t this responding to the call of the nation?”
Xia Chuyi remained very calm and said, “Oh, is that so? But rules are rules…”
“Young lady,” hearing this, Family Cheng directly interrupted her and said, “You are too young; for the good of the nation, so things must be done.”
“If anyone present here has a better piece of jade than our Jinyu Square Fu Lu Shou,” Family Cheng said very casually, “I also support them in contributing it for the overseas auction.”
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi laughed, tilted her head, and said, “Then I think, maybe we should first ask the person who bought Lot 64…”
“Why ask them? We’ve discussed for so long, and the buyer of Lot 64 did not show up, so they must agree with us.” Family Cheng’s expression changed slightly.
To avoid any trouble, Family Cheng pressed on aggressively, “Young lady, one cannot be so selfish. Please sacrifice your own interests a little for the greater good of the nation!”
Saying this, Family Cheng glanced at the chief official.
The chief official, seeing this, nodded quickly and said, “I think Family Cheng makes a good point. Young lady, your Lot 64 can go for auction anyway, so don’t worry too much about it.”
And there were those at the scene who belonged to the sa faction as Family Cheng—or those who dared not provoke Family Cheng—who smoothly echoed, “Yes, young lady, you should be more understanding…”
The coercion from every direction made the scene extrely chaotic—even Housekeeper Li, Family Cheng’s rival, dared not speak up.
In the private box, Ou ZhenTing and Ou Jun had long been furious.
“Damn it, what are they doing?” Although Ou ZhenTing and Ou Jun had signed in advance and didn’t participate in the final procedures and contracts, since Xia Chuyi was there, they hadn’t left.
