Daily Intelligence: Starting Out, I Won a Thirty Million Lottery Grand Prize Chapter 117: The Auction Begins

At 5:30 PM, Su Yun and Bai Qian arrived punctually at the Sotheby's Auction Building.

Zhou Rou was there to greet them.

"I need to take a call first; you two go on up," Su Yun said, holding his phone.

"Alright, the auction starts promptly at 6:06 PM, so arriving by 6:00 PM is fine," Zhou Rou reminded them, then went upstairs with Bai Qian.

Su Yun, anwhile, moved to the side to answer the call: "President Feng, is there anything new?"

"Boss, since the press conference, the company has officially released its application software, and market feedback has been excellent. We also have many orders now; it's truly a case of supply not eting demand."

"On the other hand, regarding the stock market, our company's stock has surged significantly, all within expectations," Feng Xing's voice was very relaxed.

"Mm, I don't have any specific requirents; everything is up to you. However, ensure that the partner companies are reliable. For example, do not collaborate with companies like Guotai here," Su Yun said.

"Understood," Feng Xing naturally knew about the Guotai situation. It was escalating, with their stock plumting. The consequences, brought about by two minor figures, were truly a case of reaping what they sowed.

Moreover, this matter involved the boss, so Feng Xing naturally understood the implications.

"I still have an auction to attend, so I won't say more," Su Yun finished, exchanged a few more words with Feng Xing, then hung up the phone.

Putting away his phone, Su Yun prepared to head to the auction hall.

After passing the security check, Su Yun nodded. Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly reached him.

"Hmph! Can just anyone co here to attend an auction? If people like him are allowed in, what face will Sotheby's Auction have left? Can it still be called one of the three major auction houses?" Li Wei and a chubby man slowly approached, their steps sowhat arrogant.

"You, surnad Su, I thought you had already left! I didn't expect you to also be here for the auction! Perfect, I can settle the score from noon today right now!" Li Wei's fingers were bandaged, his words filled with excitent.

"Brother Hu, just cripple him right here!" Li Wei said.

Brother Hu on the side sized up Su Yun with a look of disdain: "How dare you offend my brother? Don't you even know whose territory this is!"

"Kneel for my brother, or else your legs won't feel so good," Brother Hu said, shaking his leg and stomping his foot.

Both n looked over with arrogant expressions, especially Li Wei; he desperately wanted to see Su Yun lick the bottom of his shoes!

"Who do we have here? Oh, it's just two insignificant small fries."

"How boring," Su Yun had no intention of engaging with the two, and simply walked past them into the building!

"You dare!" Brother Hu instantly flew into a rage. In this territory, no one had ever dared to ignore him so completely. Back in the day, he was known as soone who could "kick out a sumr" with one strike, and now he was being looked down upon by a re youngster. His foot flashed, and he lunged directly at Su Yun!

"Hold it!" Just as Brother Hu's palm was about to touch Su Yun, another powerful hand directly grabbed his wrist!

Brother Hu was shocked. He quickly tried to shake it off but found he couldn't break free from the grip!

"You stinking security guard, do you know Brother Hu's na!" Brother Hu glared at the security guard with sharp eyes.

The security guard didn't get angry upon hearing this. Instead, he looked directly at Brother Hu and said, "Sir, I won't take offense if you call a 'stinking security guard' right now."

"But if you try to cause trouble on Sotheby's premises, that's your problem. This gentleman is a special guest of our company; he's not soone you can afford to provoke."

The security guard flung Brother Hu's hand away, and Brother Hu staggered two steps backward, glaring furiously at the security guard!

"Isn't that Hu Zi? What's going on here?" An old voice drifted over.

"Who the..." Brother Hu opened his mouth to curse, but when he clearly saw who it was, he quickly put on a respectful expression: "Old Han, you've arrived..."

The newcor was ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) none other than Old Han, one of the three major experts of Sotheby's Auction House!

"Hu Zi, causing trouble on Sotheby's turf, how desperate are you at this mont..."

Old Han's voice was very cold, looking at Brother Hu as if he were a cat.

Brother Hu t Old Han's eyes, and cold sweat imdiately stread down his face!

"Yes... Old Han... how would I dare..." Brother Hu quickly bowed and scraped like a small cat.

"Hmph!" Old Han let out a soft snort, then walked away directly.

Brother Hu lowered his head and stealthily glanced at the departing Old Han. In a trance, he seed to see Old Han chatting with that young man.

Wiping away his cold sweat, Brother Hu quickly shook his head. Old Han was a formidable figure in his pri, a big shot who commanded respect in both the underworld and legitimate circles. Later, he grew tired of the martial world and turned to antiques.

Although he was no longer active in the martial world, the stories of his past still circulated, and throughout Hong Kong, no one dared to disrespect Old Han... That young man couldn't possibly know such a person, Brother Hu thought, feeling that he must have been scared senseless just now, how could he have hallucinations... "Brother Hu, what happened? Why didn't you just make your move?" Li Wei, seeing this scene, was utterly perplexed and quickly approached to ask.

"Cough, cough..."

"You're not from Hong Kong, so you naturally don't understand the rules here. This is Sotheby's auction house, and it's protected!"

"An auction is about to take place here, and things are very strict. If I were to teach him a lesson now, it would inevitably lead to unpleasantness..."

"Don't worry, since I'm respectfully called Brother Hu in the martial world, I will definitely keep my promise..." Brother Hu said with lingering fear. He didn't say he didn't dare, but used a roundabout excuse, as people in his line of work can't lose face... "Oh, I see, so that's how it is. Then we'll leave early after the auction ends." Li Wei said with so regret.

"Mm," Brother Hu nodded, then continued, "Um, what's that kid's background? Does he have any powerful backing?" Brother Hu still asked, feeling a bit uneasy.

If that kid really had a deep connection with Old Han, that would be bad... "Him? What kind of background could he have? He's just a bumpkin, and it's his first ti in Hong Kong."

"But this person is quite strong..." Li Wei recalled the two tis Su Yun hit him, and he had a very deep understanding of his strength.

"That's good..." Brother Hu nodded in understanding. Since that kid didn't know Old Han, then it was okay.

Subsequently, Brother Hu and Li Wei proceeded with the first security check, preparing to enter the auction hall.

Soon, the ti reached six o'clock...
