I am doing well in the Siheyuan

This son and daughter-in-law have been hypocritical in recent months, not only failing to achieve their goals but also causing a lot of trouble.

"They are going to the Foley Auction House to sell antiques, and they want me to bring money with me. Isn't this obviously giving money away?"

Guan Xiaoguan told Uncle Guan what had happened at home recently.

Yesterday, at the internal auction held by Jinchangsheng, the Foley Auction House was a great success. This made Guan's parents unable to suppress their inner restlessness and decided to take their daughter Guan Xiaoguan to the antique market to shop.

Guan Xiaoguan is always by Grandpa Guan's side. Although she is not very knowledgeable about antique appraisal, she knows a thing or two about the many ins and outs of the antique market.

In fact, she had already seen through the problems of the Foley Auction House, so when her parents proposed to go there, she firmly opposed it and caused an argument.

Hearing this, Uncle Guan couldn't help feeling unhappy.

Seeing this, Han Chunming promptly filled a glass of wine for Uncle Guan and thought to himself: He had dealt with Guan's father and mother before, and their expressions were not very friendly at that time.

"Let them go first. If they ask for money again, just call the security to kick them out. I will find a way to solve this problem after a while." After drinking the glass of wine, Uncle Guan gradually had an idea in his mind.

Ye Ming had just assigned him a task today, and Guan's father and mother also wanted to attend the auction. This was a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and handle the matter cleanly and neatly.

On the other side, Guan's mother was feeling depressed at home.

"We are all doing this for her own good, so why won't she listen to our advice? She has some spare money, but she doesn't consider investing it in antiques. It will only depreciate in value if it is left alone!" Thinking of Guan Xiaoguan's resistance when she discussed the matter with her in the morning, Guan's mother still feels aggrieved.

"Well, it's normal for the child to have her own ideas when she grows up. When she sees that we make money from buying and selling antiques, she will naturally understand our good intentions." Father Guan comforted his wife.

"Also, you know that the reputation of the Foley Auction House has been rising recently. How can we do this without preparing more funds?" Guan's mother said righteously.

If it weren't for the usefulness of her biological daughter, she would almost forget that she had a daughter named Guan Xiaoguan.

"I always feel that buying antiques at an auction is a real loss. I wonder if there is any channel to trade antiques at an auction privately?" Guan's father hesitated.

The day before yesterday, they made inquiries at Jinchangsheng's internal auction and learned about the price trends of some items - the prices in the antique market have been rare recently and have shown an upward trend, which has made them even more anxious.

Abroad, they met a businessman named Henry, who gave them a lot of help in their first few days abroad.

After learning that they had a father who was a keen collector, Henry specifically asked to purchase some antiques on his behalf.

If they can buy antiques when they return home this time, they can bring them to Henry, and he will definitely not treat them unfairly.

If the price of domestic antiques is too high, the profit margin will be greatly reduced and the trip will become meaningless.

"Do you have a connection? If you really had one, I would have looked for it long ago. The key is that it has to be reliable. There are so many fake antiques on the market!" When Guan's mother heard this, she also became interested.

She was well aware that antiques at auctions were expensive, but out of consideration for ensuring the authenticity of the items and with no other options available, she had no choice but to participate in the auction.

"I know someone who may be able to help. His name is Cheng Jianjun. He lives in the same compound as Han Chunming and I heard he is a buyer for the Foley auction house." Guan's father revealed a piece of news that he had heard when he visited his father many times during the Spring Festival.

"Can he help us?" Guan's mother holds the belief that "nothing will happen without benefit" and does not believe that Cheng Jianjun would help for no reason.

“I heard that there is a conflict between him and Han Chunming, maybe they can actually cooperate.

You see, there is also a rift between us and Han Chunming, so doesn't this naturally form a relationship of common interests?" Father Guan said firmly.

After learning of Cheng Jianjun's identity, he made further inquiries and learned from the compound about the grievances between Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming.

"Then let's try to contact them. If it works, we can save a lot of money!" Guan's mother was tempted.

If you can buy antiques through buyer Cheng Jianjun, the price will definitely be much cheaper. As long as you give the other party appropriate benefits, they will most likely agree to the deal.

“Then we’d better find him as soon as possible. It might be too late to wait until next month!” Guan’s father suggested. Considering that the Foley Auction House will be holding a new auction next month, time is rather tight.

"Okay!" Guan's mother nodded in agreement.

So, in the next few days, Guan's father and mother frequently looked for Cheng Jianjun.

However, Cheng Jianjun seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and had not been seen for several days.

It was not until a week later that they finally met Cheng Jianjun.

"Do you want to buy antiques?" Cheng Jianjun looked a little strange after learning about the two people's identities and purpose.

He knew that Uncle Guan was the director of the museum and he had also been present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"Yes, we are interested in buying antiques, and the price is absolutely fair!"

Guan's father and mother agreed in unison.

"I remember that Uncle Guan is the director of the museum, right?"

Cheng Jianjun interjected doubtfully.

He was indeed a little hesitant in his heart as to whether he should sell the antiques from the Foley Auction House to these two people. After all, Mr. Guan's prestige in the industry should not be underestimated.

What if they find out that these antiques are fakes, wouldn't it cause unnecessary disputes?

"Well, he treated the museum like a treasure, and my husband and I couldn't even get in the door.

I went to see Han Chunming a while ago, but was turned away as well.”

Guan's mother complained with dissatisfaction on her face.

After several months of hard work and running around, she had accumulated a lot of resentment in her heart.

At this moment, she even made up her mind that even if she didn't fulfill her filial duty, she would no longer care about Grandpa Guan's life.

"You are all Mr. Guan's children, so you should have some knowledge of antique appraisal, right? Isn't Panjiayuan an antique market? Why don't you go there and pick out a few suitable items?"

Cheng Jianjun made suggestions in an attempt to get the couple to leave.

"Well... Actually, we are not good at identifying antiques. In the early years, I disliked the old man's way of doing things, so I went abroad early. Now my relationship with the old man is quite tense, so..."

Guan's father looked embarrassed and spoke frankly.

As the son of a museum director, he knew nothing about antiques and felt helpless.

This feeling of powerlessness has become increasingly stronger over time.

Whenever he mentioned his relationship with Grandpa Guan, others would always look at him differently, but once he revealed the fact that he did not know how to identify antiques, their attitude would immediately change.

"You really don't know how to identify antiques?"

Cheng Jianjun confirmed it again.

After learning that the two did not have the ability to identify, he felt that the deal might be feasible. After all, the two people in front of him looked easier to deal with.

"That's right, so I'll have to trouble you to help me get the appraisal certificate from Foley Auction House. As a buyer, you should have the channels, right? Don't worry, we won't be stingy with money!"

Guan's mother looked at Cheng Jianjun with eager anticipation in her eyes.
