Sensational! Fake Noble VS Real Genius-Chapter 1588: Zhizhi: Short on Money

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s mumbling, Su Yunling remembered that this young girl seemed to have experienced amnesia.

He chuckled lightly and then raised his hand to gently rub the top of Gu Zhiqi’s head, "It’s okay, you’ll remember."

After listening, Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly, feeling a bit depressed.

About three minutes later, the room in the box was knocked on.

"Come in!"

As soon as Su Yunling’s voice fell, the door to the box was pushed open.

A man in a suit, accompanied by two burly staff members, entered with an expression that was both excited and somewhat uneasy.

At the moment the three stepped into the box, Gu Zhiqi immediately recognized that the two staff members were ancient martial artists.

As soon as they entered the box, the man in the suit closed the door.

Then, he finally took a moment to look at Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi.

Upon seeing Su Yunling’s appearance, the man in the suit froze for a moment, a hint of amazement in his eyes.

Once he came to his senses, he immediately greeted Su Yunling with respect, "Third Master."

The man in the suit was the manager of the auction house, and although he didn’t know Su Yunling’s identity as the leader of the Ever Winning Army, he knew he was the Third Master of the Imperial Capital Su Family, so he respectfully called him Third Master.

Su Yunling nodded slightly to him.

Upon seeing this, the manager immediately approached Su Yunling and quietly asked, "Third Master, I heard you have a work by Master Bai Zhi. Is...is it true?"

Su Yunling nodded, picked up the gift box from the table, and then handed it to the manager.

This time, Gu Zhiqi had found a better-looking packaging box.

However, it was still a cardboard box, just a bit more attractive than a delivery box.

The manager looked at the box Su Yunling handed over, his expression somewhat cracked.

But remembering the rumors about Master Bai Zhi, the manager felt relieved.

Rumor had it that Master Bai Zhi wasn’t one for formalities; she might use a cardboard box to pack sculptures, or even a takeout or delivery box.

Thinking of this, the manager felt it was even more likely that the box contained a genuine work by Master Bai Zhi.

With trembling hands, he reached out to take the box.

After taking it, he immediately hugged it to his chest, then cautiously opened a small crack and glanced inside quickly.

After looking, he gasped and immediately closed the box.

His expression was as if there was something inside that couldn’t be exposed to light.

"Th...Third Master, is this item being auctioned today or..." halfway through the question, the manager suddenly changed his tone, "or could we auction it next time?"

"If I advertise it first, more people will definitely come next time, and then the price will certainly be higher."

"Of course, I know you’re not short of money, but no one ever complains about having more money, right? So you see..."

Su Yunling understood the manager’s implication.

Master Bai Zhi was renowned far and wide, and throughout Xia Country, there were countless people eager to buy her genuine works.

Not just Xia Country, but people from other countries as well.

If the advertisement went out, many would certainly come drawn by her reputation.

The more people there were, the fiercer the competition, and the auction price would definitely be higher.

Thinking of this, Su Yunling turned to look at Gu Zhiqi, "What do you think?"

Gu Zhiqi: "I need money."

Su Yunling: "..."

Manager: "..."

Although he didn’t know why Su Yunling was asking this young girl’s opinion, the manager realized that when the artifact would be auctioned depended on this young girl.

Thinking of this, the manager immediately said, "If this is truly a rare item by Master Bai Zhi, the auction price won’t be less than one hundred million. If you, miss, need money, I can advance you ninety million!"
