Chapter 691: Florida Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Half an hour ago, I received information from a friend that there’s an auction happening in Florida,” Charlie told Luo Feng. “Word is, some extremely valuable artifacts will be up for grabs. The fact that this news reached me suggests these items are extraordinarily precious.”

Charlie continued, “I tried to dig a little deeper, but couldn’t find out what specifically will be auctioned. Given how tight-lipped they are, it must be something remarkable. If you’re interested, you might want to check it out.”

“This auction is by invitation only. To gain access, you need an invitation card, and I happen to have one right here. You can have it if you want.” free(w)ebnovel

Charlie handed Luo Feng a black card, which he accepted without hesitation.

From Charlie’s office décor, Luo Feng could tell that the man wasn’t particularly fond of antiques. Perhaps Charlie’s previous, extravagant purchase of a Maitreya Buddha statue had led people to believe he was a collector of such artifacts.

In any case, this black card offered Luo Feng an opportunity to see what kind of auction could capture even Charlie’s attention. Still, the auction was a few days away, and Luo Feng had no intention of rushing there.

The operations at National Logistics, his recently launched company, required immediate attention. Liu Jian, the man responsible for managing the logistics, had his hands full. Not only did he have to oversee the daily operations, but he was also in charge of coordinating the transfer of artifacts.

As a result, Liu Jian was swamped, often without a moment to spare. Luo Feng planned to take advantage of the next couple of days to manage the logistics company better and maybe hire a few more hands.

Jardins, who had recently found some leisure time as the toy wholesale market was under control, was drafted by Luo Feng to help at the logistics company.

“Post some job ads for me,” Luo Feng instructed meticulously. “We need experienced people, but not those with decades of experience. We might have trouble managing them.”

Jardins followed the instructions, and by the next day, several candidates arrived for interviews. While National Transport was a new company, it had acquired a well-established enterprise. This spoke volumes about Luo Feng’s financial capabilities, attracting a steady stream of applicants.

Luo Feng, having some free time, decided to participate in the interviews as a secondary reviewer. However, it became apparent that the candidates had done their homework; many recognized him immediately. While most were there for genuine reasons, a few tried to flirt their way through the process, to Luo Feng’s discomfort.

Frustrated by his lack of expertise in the specifics of the interviews, which felt like attending a math class, Luo Feng eventually decided to leave it to Jardins. After all, Jardins had run a business with his father and was proficient in such matters. Luo Feng felt he would only be a hindrance.

More importantly, the Florida auction was approaching, and Luo Feng needed to make his way there. He had always been intrigued by the city, its quirks and memes, such as the infamous Florida Man.

Yet, he wasn’t there for the local experience; he was there for the artifacts.

After informing Jardins and the others, Luo Feng boarded a flight to Florida.

Upon landing, Luo Feng got his first lesson in Floridian ways. As he moved to collect his luggage, a security staff member approached him, offering assistance. Luo Feng politely declined, but the man persisted, suggesting that they could retrieve his luggage while he waited.

With time running short, Luo Feng agreed. Usually, collecting luggage was a time-consuming affair, and airport staff, familiar with the process, could expedite it.

However, after waiting for nearly ten minutes without any sign of his luggage, Luo Feng began to sense that something was amiss..
