"What do you mean act? I genuinely wanted these things, but seeing how much you liked them, Mr. Feng, I'll have to part with them."
Li Yang said with a smile, "As for my reputation, to be honest, I was the first to know about the live broadcast, so why wouldn't I guard against you?"
"In the end, you're the one who wanted to tag along and get a bargain, and you lost money due to your own carelessness."
"You, you!" Feng Bu Er trembled with anger.
Mr. Huang said indignantly, "I told you this kid was a swindler, but you wouldn't believe me! Now look, you've lost so much face!"
"I," Feng Bu Er gritted his teeth and glared at him, "I am the boss, Mr. Huang, you are just following me! Don't push it!"
"Without me, how could you have developed so quickly over the years?" Mr. Huang stared at him coldly.
Feng Bu Er said angrily, "I told you to stop talking!"
"I'll get this face back later!"
"Hmph, do as you please, but don't mess up that plan. Otherwise, if you cause me trouble, you'll also suffer the consequences!" Mr. Huang said coldly.
Hearing him mention the plan, Feng Bu Er's expression suddenly changed, and he fell silent.
The auction hostess approached with the pile of fragments, "Mr. Feng, you've won these. Would you like to pay in full, or pay thirty percent now and the remaining seventy percent within a month?"
"Thirty percent first." Feng Bu Er glanced at the items, his interest waning, and said, "As for these things, don't keep them with me, just throw them away!"
This was a humiliation to him; how could he possibly collect them?
The hostess was surprised, "Throw them all away? Mr. Feng, you spent four million on these!"
"Shut up! I told you to throw them away! One more word and I'll slap you!" Feng Bu Er roared.
The hostess turned pale with fright, unable to understand why she was being scolded like this for her kind reminder.
"I apologize, Mr. Feng. This is a new employee who doesn't know the rules." The host quickly ran over, waving his hands at the hostess, and appeased her, "I'll teach her a good lesson later."
"Here, have some tea to calm your anger."
"Hmph!" Feng Bu Er snorted unhappily, took the teacup, and said, "When you hire people in the future, screen them more carefully!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely teach her a good lesson later." The host said with a fawning smile and bowed repeatedly.
If nothing unexpected happened, this hostess would no longer be able to stay here.
Kindness was one thing, but she lacked foresight.
Mr. Feng Bu Er had just lost so much face because of these items, and she still mentioned four million, wasn't that slapping him in the face?
Many people present suppressed their laughter.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Master Long, I think this beauty has excellent temperament and figure, and she's also very kind-hearted. Why don't you find her a position as an emcee at your gambling stone场?"
"Alright, I was thinking the same thing." Master Long took out a business card and handed it to the hostess, saying, "Young lady, if you can't work here anymore, take this business card to Haolong Gambling Stone场. They'll definitely hire you."
"Yes, thank you, Master Long." The hostess said gratefully and quickly took the business card he offered.
Seeing this, Feng Bu Er's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again, "Wait! Woman, don't go. You'll follow me from now on! I'll give you a monthly salary of thirty thousand!"
"Thank you, Mr. Feng, but no need." The hostess said with teary eyes and walked away, completely rejecting his offer.
Feng Bu Er lost face again and slammed his palm on the table, "What kind of character! This boss offers you a path to riches, and you don't want it, you fool!"
"Tsk, Master Long, look at this. What do you call shameless? This Mr. Feng is truly illustrating it vividly for everyone, practically textbook material," Li Yang said with a teasing smile.
Master Long chuckled, "Don't praise him too much, you might make him arrogant."
"Haha!" Many people present burst into laughter. This old man and young man were like performing a crosstalk.
Feng Bu Er was furious and said in a low voice, "Mr. Huang, doesn't casting a curse necessarily have to be through antiques?"
"You want me to curse them in public?" Mr. Huang frowned slightly.
Feng Bu Er said with a gloomy face, "Didn't you say yesterday that you had that thing ready?"
"Even if you curse them in public, outsiders won't be able to tell, so you won't be caught red-handed? And it's extremely effective."
"I want to see them drop dead on the spot right now!"
"It's possible, but what's in it for me?" Mr. Huang asked.
Feng Bu Er sneered, "Of course, you won't be shortchanged. The previously agreed six-four split, I'll give you an extra ten percent, making it a five-five split!"
"No, it's still six-four, but you get four and I get six," Mr. Huang said.
Feng Bu Er was a little displeased, but after glancing at Li Yang and Master Long, he finally nodded and said, "I agree to the six-four split, but I want them to drop dead within half an hour and become today's headline!"
"Mr. Feng is straightforward. Just wait, in twenty minutes at most, I'll make them suffer as much as possible before they die!" Mr. Huang gave a cold smile, then stood up and slowly retreated.
After a while, he walked back.
Feng Bu Er asked, "Is it done?"
"Almost. I've bribed a few emcees and given them food. As soon as they take a bite, they'll ingest the bloodthirsty蛊虫."
Mr. Huang said coldly, "This is the king of蛊虫 I've meticulously cultivated. It's ten times more terrifying than the one hidden in the Gilded Guanyin."
"Once it enters the human body, it will immediately crawl towards the human heart. Once it reaches the heart, it will immediately gnaw at it, biting a hole into the heart!"
If a person's heart has a hole bitten into it, can they still survive?
"Good, well done!" Feng Bu Er clenched his fists and nodded excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two emcees carrying plates walking towards Li Yang, replacing their pastries and tea.
The aroma of the food was exceptionally enticing. Master Long only caught a whiff and instinctively reached out to take a bite.
"Wait a moment, Master Long." Li Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a low voice.
Master Long was startled and immediately realized something, "Is there something wrong with these things?"
"Don't worry, I'll remove the unwanted things." Li Yang inserted a finger into the tea and circulated his Wuxin cultivation technique, using his scorching true qi to kill the invisible, tiny蛊虫 hidden within. Even the entire tea turned scalding hot, with steam rising.
Master Long was astonished, "What kind of technique is this?"
"You can consider it a type of qigong, which was very common in the previous era. I believe you've experienced that era as well, Master Long," Li Yang said with a smile.
Master Long said in surprise, "I have indeed experienced it, but ninety-nine percent of them were fakes. I didn't expect you, at such a young age, to have mastered true qigong, being able to make the tea boil with just a finger."
"Perhaps it's due to my extraordinary talent and fortuitous encounters," Li Yang smiled, withdrew his finger, poured a cup of tea for both of them, but didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he picked up a pastry and said to Mr. Feng, "Mr. Feng, would you like a pastry?"
