The next day, a room on the third floor of the Yenching Kerry Center Hotel.

The afternoon auction was about to open in the banquet hall downstairs, and I was called from home by Mr. Peng, and when I entered the room, I sat in the corner without saying a word. In addition to Mr. Peng, there were five or six people I didn't know in the room, and in the middle of the sofa opposite was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed very magnificently, I heard everyone call him the chairman, and he should be the owner of Hanhai Auction. Next to him, standing respectfully was a young boy who was not a few years older than me, and the remaining two seemed to be Hanhai's manager and deputy manager.

"I've only been in England for a week, and you've caused me such a big disaster!" The chairman of Hanhai, who is very famous in the cultural relics circle, slapped the table and stared at the young boy angrily: "You are solely responsible for this porcelain auction, right?" How many times have I told you before I left, be steady! Be steady! Why are you still that frizzy last name! Go on like this! How can I hand over the company to you? ”

The boy lowered his head: "Dad, I was careless." ”

The chairman snorted coldly: "You are not careless, you want to make meritorious contributions in front of me too much, if not, why has no one reported Yuan Qinghua's propaganda to me?" Hmph, when will you become more stable, tell me, our Hanhai Auction has been in business for so many years, and has there ever been a record of promoting things that have not yet arrived in advance? Have it? Before you could get a word, you hurriedly made a noise, and as a result, my phone calls haven't stopped since I got off the plane, how do you ask me to explain to those old customers? A lot of people have flown back from Hong Kong, so why don't I tell them to go back now, there are no more things? ”

The boy said: "I ......"

"And you." The chairman looked at the two managers with a cold gaze: "You two are old men in the industry, he doesn't know the rules, don't you know either?" Just because he is my son, you let him come and destroy Hanhai's signboard? ”

The two managers were silent.

Mr. Peng spoke at this time: "Chairman, the responsibility this time is mainly on me. ”

The chairman interrupted him with a wave of his hand and glanced at his son: "Whose responsibility it is, I know in my heart, if it weren't for my son's greed, there would be no trouble at all." Dididi, this is the third time that his mobile phone has rang after he entered the house, the chairman sighed, and pressed the answer button with a smile: "...... Boss Xu, hehe, how is the business lately...... What the? Are you at the auction house...... Yuan Qinghua? I'm sorry, something is wrong here...... I really don't mean that, I'll give you an explanation after the auction. ”

Hanging up the phone, the chairman said: "Offended another one, alas, Boss Xu didn't even care about his son's life, so he flew to Yanjing, you say, alas, now, the eyes of the entire collection world are focused on us, everyone still think about how to explain to the guests and reporters after the auction in the evening!" ”

"The reporter is here too?"

"It's no wonder if you don't come when something so big happens!" The chairman said hatefully: "It's already messed up outside, and many peers are waiting to see the joke!" ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, but before entering the hotel, I also felt the atmosphere of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

“…… You are the owner of Yuan Qinghua? The chairman suddenly looked at me in the corner.

"Yes." I organized the language and said: "I apologize for the trouble caused to your company this time, and I really didn't expect that the bottom foot in the end suddenly disappeared, well, I will pay the 500,000 liquidated damages on the contract, but I need time to prepare, can you please forgive a few months?" "The time is irreversible, and it is useless to regret it, and I am now thinking about how to pay off 500,000 yuan, which undoubtedly takes time.

The chairman said lukewarmly: "I take the liberty of asking, who are you employed?" ”

I wondered, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I have offended a lot of people in the auction house over the years, and they should also know that this porcelain auction is my son's leader, so it is not surprising that he made some unsightly small moves."

It dawned on me that he thought I had designed a trap in the Kenghanhai in advance, "There is no such thing, it is really an accident that I can't find it." ”

"Then it's all because I guessed wrong, anyway, I won't say more, you call your parents, and I will talk to them about liquidated damages."

I said, "I signed the contract with you, what are you looking for my parents to do?" ”

The chairman clapped his hands: "Okay, the auction is about to start, everyone is in place." Before leaving the door, the chairman glanced at me: "Before tonight, I hope to see your parents, otherwise, the court summons will be delivered to your house soon." "I can see that he is still skeptical of my purpose.

When I went downstairs, I passed by the banquet hall of the auction, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a lot of discussions.

"I heard that Yuan Qinghua is a non-existent thing."

"No, Hanhai's reputation has always been good."

"Come on, otherwise why didn't you show up on the day of the preview, alas, this time it's a trip for nothing, the ticket money is a trivial matter, but the two days of delay have to give me an explanation, right?"

"Me too, I came here for Yuan Qinghua, but now I ......"

Walking out of the Yenching Kerry Center Hotel, I looked up at the sky, stunned.

Originally, I was mentally prepared, whether it was 500,000 or 1 million, I would bear it alone, but I really didn't want to involve my parents, let alone let them know that I owed a huge amount of liquidated damages, in that case, I don't know what face I have to meet them in the future. Moreover, the meaning of Chairman Hanhai's words seems to reveal the intention of going to court, maybe only by making a fuss can they push the responsibility to me and maintain their reputation in the industry, right?

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw my mother choosing celery in the yard, and she didn't raise her head and said, "Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." ”

"Mom, I, I, I'm in trouble outside." They can't hide it anymore, and sooner or later they have to know, "I'm going to lose a sum of money." ”

"What money to lose? How much to lose? The old mother pulled off the celery leaves, and her face changed suddenly: "Hundreds? Thousands? ”

"Well, it's not."

My dad also came out of the house when he heard this: "What's wrong?" ”

Mom's wrist trembled a little: "Don't tell me it's tens of thousands?" ”

I opened my lips and was about to speak, but my phone shook, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was the number of Yan Wanru that I had deposited when I finished charging in the morning, "...... Feed? ”

"Gu Jing, it's me, where are you?"

"At home."

"Well, I didn't want to tell you, but ...... Forget it, well, you can come to the glass factory. ”

"Liuli Factory? What do you mean? ”

"The Yuan Qinghua jar that you told me about last night that was dropped may be back."
