Then, the staff took out an intercom to contact his superior.
Very soon, a man in his fifties appeared in the private room. White hair could be seen on the man’s head.
“Mr. Wen Cheng, you’re one of our long-time customers. However, why are you not respecting the rules today?”
“Manager Zhu, I apologize for this. It’s my fault. I did not clearly explain the rules to my wife,” Wen Cheng said hurriedly.
However, Manager Zhu’s expression did not change. He replied sternly:
“This is not a matter of apologizing. Instead, it’s a matter of disrespecting the rules that we have in place. If you disrespect our rules, you will be blacklisted from Cai Ningxuan. From now on, you will not be allowed in here.”
Wen Cheng panicked when he heard this. Being on the blacklist for Cai Ningxuan meant that he could not enter buildings like this in the future.
To make matters worse, he dealt with antiques for work! This meant that the consequences were very serious for him.
It was much more serious than losing fifty million dollars!
Wen Cheng hurriedly said: “Manager Zhu, we’re willing to buy this folding fan. We will definitely pay fifty million dollars! My wife just said the wrong thing! Please forgive her. Can you pretend that it didn’t happen?”
“Sorry. I don’t plan to break the rules. I won’t change my decision. It doesn’t matter if you’re unhappy with Cai Ningxuan.”
Manager Zhu was impartial and incorruptible. He was unwilling to accommodate Wen Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue’s face turned incredibly pale.
When she saw her husband’s anxious expression, she realized how serious the matter was.
It seemed as though she did a very stupid thing.
She hurriedly apologized to her husband: “I’m sorry… I just… I just acted impulsively… I didn’t mean to do this… I…”
She regretted her decisions.
Although fifty million dollars was a large sum of money, it didn’t mean as much as her husband’s career. Her husband’s career depended on antiques.
However, Manager Zhu was not moved by Cai Qinyue’s words. His expression was serious as he said: “Ms. Wen, you’re an adult. You should be responsible for your words and actions.”
Then, Manager Zhu turned to speak to his men: “Please ask Mr. Wen Cheng and his family to leave.”
The auction had only reached the midpoint.
However, as the rules had been broken, they were no longer considered guests of Cai Ningxuan.
“Manager Zhu, please accommodate us,” Wen Cheng pleaded. His face was filled with sorrow.
However, Manager Zhu was expressionless. It was as though he had not heard Wen Cheng’s words.
Then, his men walked towards the people seated in the private room to ‘invite’ them out.
Manager Zhu’s actions destroyed the Wen family’s last slither of hope.
Today, they were doomed to enter the blacklist of Cai Ningxuan.
Furthermore, Wen Cheng was very likely to be blacklisted by other antique businesses.
Wen Cheng had never imagined for this to happen.
However, things had escalated. He could no longer do anything about it.
Cai Qinyue was so remorseful that her intestines began to turn blue.
Wen Ruo hung her head down. She did not dare to say a word.
However, her body was trembling. She was incredibly scared.
Wen Nuan, on the other hand, was also frowning. She was deep in thought.
She knew that today’s events would adversely affect her brother.
However, she could do nothing about it. If her brother’s words had no impact on the situation, then she definitely could not get Cai Ningxuan to change their minds.
Jian Yiling did not say a single word. After she confirmed that they were being ‘invited’ out, she got up to leave with everyone else.
Jian Yiling walked past Manager Zhu.
Suddenly, the pendant on Jian Yiling’s neck caught Manager Zhu’s attention.
It was an ordinary-looking pendant.
As it was quite warm inside the building, Jian Yiling had taken off her jacket. When she got up to leave, the pendant was hanging outside of her clothes.
“Wait!” Manager Zhu suddenly called out.
