Chapter 58: The Arrogant Jia Yi
[PS: Special thanks to Fangou Changge, Qiu Dafu, Fei Chi and Lin Zhi Xiaozi for their rewards!]
Su Wen finally asked Chu Lao for the address of Sheng Shi Auction House in Jiangning, and he planned to go there himself.
According to Chu Lao's words.
The person in charge of Jiangning's auction house is called Jia Yi. If you want to consign items, you must first show them to Jia Yi for approval. Only if Jia Yi thinks they are acceptable can the items proceed to the next stage of review. If Jia Yi doesn't think so, then don't even think about consigning them.
Chu Lao also told Su Wen that Jia Yi was not a good talker and had a particularly powerful influence.
Su Wen didn't care about these things, his goal was just to auction off the Water Spirit Grass at Sheng Shi Auction House and make a name for Ju Bao Pawnshop. If Jia Yi was easy to talk to, that would be fine, but if he wasn't, then Su Wen naturally had ways to deal with him so that he wouldn't get away scot-free.
"No matter how powerful the Shengshi Auction House is, those who truly possess treasures are not afraid of it. Although I don't have a reputation yet, I am indeed someone with treasures." Su Wen still had this bit of confidence.
Afternoon.
Su Wen set off for Shengshi Auction House.
In Jiangning, few people knew about Shengshi Auction House. Following Chu Lao's directions, Su Wen quickly found it.
A 27-story high-rise building called Shengshi Building.
In other people's eyes, this building is just a simple office building, with more than 30 companies gathered inside. However, in reality, the floors below the third floor and above the tenth floor of the Shengshi Building are all occupied by the Shengshi Auction House. In fact, the floors from the third to the tenth are also owned by the Shengshi Auction House, but in order to reduce some impact, the auction house rented these floors out.
Su Wen arrived at the foot of Shengshi Building.
He walked up to the front desk and said directly: "I'm looking for Jia Yi."
The receptionist was a very beautiful woman, she looked at Su Wen with some surprise.
Jiayike is not an ordinary person, and those who know this name are definitely not ordinary people. After the front desk was shocked, he thought of the things entrusted to him above, and politely asked: "Sir, hello, may I ask who you are? Do you have an appointment?"
Su Wen knew some of the big companies' rules and wasn't surprised, so he said: "My name is Su Wen, I'm the current boss of Ju Bao Inn, I came in a hurry, without an appointment."
"After listening, I thought for a moment: 'I don't know what you want to find General Manager Jia for? Can you reveal it a bit? I will contact General Manager Jia immediately. If your matter cannot move him, I think he won't see you. Such things have happened several times before you."
Su Wen furrowed his brow upon hearing this, he really hadn't thought that meeting Jia Yi would be so difficult.
"I've come to send some packages!" Su Wen said bluntly.
The receptionist understood immediately and picked up the phone on the desk, saying: "General Manager Jia, someone from Ju Bao Pawnshop has come to deliver something. Is it convenient for you to see them?"
As soon as the front desk's voice fell, a displeased voice came from the other end: "I've told you several times already, don't bother calling me with such trivial matters again. What is Jingbao Pawnshop? They also want to put their items up for auction at our Shengshi Auction House, it's truly laughable."
Su Wen heard this, his face was very gloomy.
"Mr. Su Wen, I'm sorry..." The receptionist was quite embarrassed and a little frightened.
"Don't panic!" Su Wen snorted, suddenly grabbing the phone from the front desk and barking directly into it: "Is that Jia Yi? Our Ju Bao Xuan is not some stray cat or dog, you need to apologize for what you just said."
On the 17th floor, a man sneered: "So what if you heard it? A small antique shop like yours still dares to consign items to the prestigious auction house. Who gave you the guts? In my presence, calling yourselves stray cats and dogs is already giving you face. With your status, I don't even bother talking to you."
Su Wen became more and more indignant: "What identity are you talking about? What identity are you? In my eyes, you're just a fool."
Jia Yi heard Su Wen scolding himself and immediately became angry.
What status is he, that is the person in charge of Shengshi Auction House in Jiangning. Many people with high social status have to be polite to him. Now a nobody actually dares to insult him, really has eaten the gallbladder of a brave leopard.
He thought of this and directly roared: "You good-for-nothing fellow, I will make you kneel down and beg for my mercy."
Su Wen said calmly and fearlessly: "I'm waiting for you, remember my name is Su Wen, don't avenge the wrong person."
Su Wen finished speaking and directly hung up the phone.
The receptionist stared blankly at all of this, wondering who the young man in front of her was. He actually spoke to Jia Yi like that, didn't he know Jia Yi's identity?
Su Wen is not a fool either, he dared to do so, and there must be some reliance.
Let's not mention anything else, Tang Long is his father's life-and-death comrade-in-arms. Now Tang Long is the director of Jiangning Public Security Bureau and will soon be transferred to the Provincial Public Security Department. This is a big backstage. Not only that, but Tang Long also told him about three other comrades-in-arms of his father. Although his father has always been low-key, if he himself encounters danger, those three people will absolutely not stand by idly.
To put it bluntly, Su Wen also has a background.
Su Wen left, and Jia Yi had already dialed a phone call on the other side.
"Director Liu, I'll leave it to you then." Jia Yi said with a smile.
"A young punk, I'll take care of him, don't worry." Liu Changdong casually agreed.
Su Wen has just returned to Ju Bao Inn.
"Is Su Wen here?" Two policemen walked in.
"Are you looking for me?" Su Wen was stunned, what's going on, the police actually came to the door.
"We suspect you're involved in a murder case, come with us." One of the police officers spotted Su Wen and immediately pulled out handcuffs.
"Are you sure it's me?" Su Wen really laughed, his Tang Shu was the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he would be inexplicably caught by the public security bureau, which was really funny. This also made several people around him stunned.
Su Wen, murder?
Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous!
"Boss, when did you become a murderer? You're awesome!" Li Huan burst out laughing like a wolf.
"Kill, six or seven of them." Su Wen gave Li Huan a white eye, he turned to look at the two police officers and said coldly: "My name is Su Wen, you'd better ask your bureau chief, if you catch the wrong person, it won't be that easy to let me out."
The young policeman sneered upon hearing this: "This is what our director personally ordered us to catch, how could we have caught the wrong person?"
Su Wen was taken aback: "Your bureau chief, Tang Long?"
This is obviously impossible!
The little policeman said bluntly: "Director Tang has no time to take care of this case, it's our Deputy Director Liu."
Su Wen understood at this point.
It was obviously Liu Deputy Director who sent someone to catch him, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be Jia Yi. However, he did not expect Jia Yi's hand to stretch so far and mobilize the police bureau so quickly. But this time, Jia Yi clearly made a wrong move.
"Director Liu? He's really getting on my nerves." Li Huan muttered to himself, he glanced at Su Wen and said in a low voice: "Boss, do you want me to help? As long as I make a public statement, that Director Liu will definitely send you back with a grand procession."
Su Wen took a look at Li Huan, and his guess was indeed correct. This Li Huan absolutely didn't just have an old dad who was the county head; behind him, there were obviously even more powerful figures.
"What's wrong, boss?" Li Huan pushed Su Wen slightly.
"It's nothing." Su Wen came back to himself, "I couldn't even solve this little problem, how can I be your boss in the future?"
Li Huan was shocked.
Su Wen also didn't speak up, he still hadn't planned on calling Tang Long immediately.
"Let's go, don't be stunned!" The little policeman skillfully put handcuffs on Su Wen.
The first time he wore this thing, Su Wen felt that apart from being a bit chilly, it also gave him a feeling of being able to easily break free. In fact, his current vitality had reached 2.4, which meant that his overall physique exceeded that of an ordinary person by more than double. Although vitality didn't represent strength, his strength was barely twice that of an ordinary person, and this was absolutely a terrifying figure.
Su Wen glanced at Li Huan and then at Chen Yunhao, smiled and said: "You wait, I'll be back soon."
The two little policemen were clearly distrustful, and once they went in, it was not easy to come out. Moreover, this time Liu Deputy Director personally wanted to catch the person, and even if he really didn't commit anything, the police station had a way to make him confess.
Su Wen got on the police car and soon arrived at the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
As soon as he got off the car, the security guard at the entrance was stunned.
Two guards had seen Su Wen and Yang Hui come to the Public Security Bureau together, and vaguely heard that Su Wen and Tang Long had a deep relationship. But what's going on? How could there be police who brought Su Wen over with handcuffs? However, upon closer inspection of the two policemen, the two guards understood that it was actually Liu Changdong's people who had brought Su Wen here.
Something's wrong!
The two guards looked at each other and suddenly felt a sense of unnecessary tension in their hearts.
