Marriage in crisis

I explained apologetically, and she smiled gently, "It's okay, I knew you would sleep in. I wanted to ask you to go to the Grand Palace, but it's late, so let's just walk around!"

"Okay! I'm also afraid that my husband Yu will look for me at any time, so let's just walk around here! It's more comfortable than indoors anyway." I said casually, without any pretense.

She came close to me, looking very familiar, and smiled at me, "It seems that Mr. Rong really loves you! How sweet!"

"Yeah! You and Mr. Ouyang seem to be in love! Your temperaments match very well!" I also echoed thoughtfully.

"We are an old married couple!" She smiled, as calm as a chrysanthemum.

"What is your company's main business?" I looked at Nie Xiaoman with some curiosity. "You have business here too, so it must be doing very well."

She smiled, "Hey, the main focus is technology, and some of the games are pretty good. The second is the auction house, but it has shrunk a bit in recent years."

"Oh... auction? Then you have a lot of treasures? Are they all antiques?" I showed envy, "I have participated in several large auctions, and every time there were very valuable antique necklaces, jewelry and so on? They looked very Versailles. Now that I know you, can I buy treasures at a more reasonable price?"

Nie Xiaoman immediately laughed and looked at me, "How should I put it? That's not how it should be said."

I immediately pretended to be very embarrassed, "Sister, please don't laugh at me, I don't know anything about this business, anyway, the impression it left on me is very mysterious, those things are very priceless, they are worth millions or even tens of millions, it's amazing!"

Nie Xiaoman is very good at chatting, but I don’t know if she is like that with others.

She patiently explained to me, "In fact, many of the items auctioned are not ours. We just charge some fees. Most of them are collectors' items. After we evaluate them, if they are willing, we will run the auction. Then we will take some commission!"

"Oh! That's easy, after all, the amount is huge!" I looked at her in surprise, "You just have to worry a little. It's a sure win!"

"It's not that simple!" Nie Xiaoman laughed, "It's a lot of money, and it's still in the collection of others!"

"I thought they were all your own things," I said.

"Of course, sometimes there are some things. We also search for some things in various places and countries, and then auction them! But this requires luck, just like gambling on stones, you know!" she explained to me.

"Wouldn't it be very difficult to find such things? It requires a unique vision and knowledge in this area! Does sister also understand these things?" I looked extremely curious.

"You have to understand it, otherwise it won't be fun if you make a mistake!" Nie Xiaoman said with a smile, "You may even lose everything!"

"Sister, don't scare me! You'll lose everything! Can you do it?" I laughed, "I'll tell you! You have such a good temperament, you must be extraordinary. In my eyes, those who can appreciate antiques are all knowledgeable and talented! After all, those antiques have historical backgrounds."

"Most people fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that auctions are only for antiques, but that's not the case! There are also many postmodern objects, and some are new objects created by modern craftsmen." Nie Xiaoman was correcting my view on auctions.

Then she asked me unexpectedly, "When are you going to Myanmar?"

I opened my mouth without hesitation, "Tomorrow! How about you guys?"

I asked her a question in return.

"We can do whatever we want!" Nie Xiaoman said immediately.

"Do you often go to Myanmar? I have business there too!" I stared at his face when I asked this.

Nie Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes, we actually have business all over the world."

"Your business is still good! You can travel around the world!" I was full of envy.

"I think Mr. Rong is also very well-connected, and his business partners are all heavyweights," Nie Xiaoman changed the subject.

"Do you know them?" I asked.

"Some of the people around Mr. Rong are very famous. As a businessman, of course I have paid attention to them and know who they are, but I can't get close to them!" Nie Xiaoman said modestly.

"I heard there are several big families in Myanmar. Do you know them all?" I looked at her as I walked. "Like the woman from the Bai family who talked to me yesterday, why do I feel like she seems to be hostile to the Meng family?"

"I don't know about that. I just heard that there has been some discord among their families recently!" Nie Xiaoman was also testing me.

PS: Dear ones, don’t feel bad when you buy your tickets!
