Chapter 130: Two Women Clash, Long-term Cooperation

  Su Wen heard Yuxue say this and felt slightly embarrassed. He knew he liked Yuxue, at least someone as excellent as Yuxue was worth any man's conquest, but Yuxue was also unapproachable, Su Wen even suspected that if no one pursued Yuxue, would she end up lonely forever, or would she really marry just anyone casually.

  I'm going to eat.

  "Uh-huh."

  Yi Xue continued to dance with her sword, and the two of them lived a very wonderful life.

  Su Wen finished the meal left by Yixue, then began to teach Yixue body techniques. Afterwards, he himself also started practicing body techniques. After a short while of practice, he found that his life force had increased again by 0.1. However, he was still stuck on the first move of the second major layer and couldn't proceed to the next move as his true energy wouldn't circulate properly.

  The two of them practiced until very late and then each went back to rest.

  The next morning.

  Su Wen is enjoying Yuxue's breakfast.

  "I went to ask about Luo Qingyin's situation." Yixue poured a bowl of porridge for Su Wen, "Although Zhou Fei is suspected of taking advantage of someone in distress, Luo Qingyin also had that idea, and the two can barely be considered as having compatible hearts."

  "Could it be that the turtle is looking at the green bean and has fallen in love?" Su Wen smiled.

  "Lu Qingyin is already twenty-nine years old, she said she had long planned to retire from the entertainment industry and find a good man to marry, but there are not many people who dare to marry her. Zhou Fei may not be a great person, but he has saved her life after all. This is the fate of the two, she looks satisfied and doesn't plan to wait any longer. If she must find someone to marry, why can't it be Zhou Fei?"

  A very realistic woman.

  "A woman's youth is only a few years, it's unrealistic and there's no way around it. Before the age of 25, you can choose what you like, after 25, you can only be chosen by others." Yuxue sighed, "Lu Qingyin's thoughts are normal. If she doesn't want to end up alone, she'll have to settle for a man just to get by."

  Su Wen heard this and smiled, asking: "Yi Xue, how old are you now?"

  Yi Xue glared at Su Wen: "A woman's age is something you shouldn't ask about!"

  Su Wen rolled her eyes: "I guess you're definitely thirty."

  Yi Xue heard this and threw down her chopsticks. Angrily she said: "My twenty-fifth birthday hasn't even passed yet."

  Su Wen couldn't help but smile, and said with a flourish: "So you're only twenty-four, about the same as I thought. In that case, I'll wait another year, and after you turn twenty-five, I'll choose you."

  Yi Xue wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't open her mouth. She found that in front of Su Wen, she was becoming less and less calm, sometimes Su Wen would just casually say a few words, but she would think about it for a long time. Sometimes when Su Wen didn't speak, she would worry if Su Wen had encountered some problem.

  Su Wen and Yi Xue went to work at Jubaocun together.

  "You all go ahead and busy yourselves, Chen Yunhao is coming out with me." Su Wen said. "I need to head back to my hometown tomorrow, can you drive me there to buy some things?"

  "Alright, boss." Chen Yunhao replied.

  Su Wen and Chen Yunhao strolled around for a whole morning, Su Wen bought a lot of clothes and food for his parents, and was carrying so much that he almost died. Chen Yunhao originally thought it would be an easy day, but now he regretted it terribly. If he had known they'd have to carry so many things and visit so many shopping malls, he wouldn't have gone even if you killed him.

  After returning to Jubaowan, Su Wen wanted to invite Yixue out for dinner, but Li Huan arrived at this time.

  "Boss, I brought lunch for everyone, each of you has a share."

  "Li Huan, why are you so enthusiastic today?" Su Wen smiled and looked behind Li Huan, "Isn't that our future superstar Lin Miaomiao? What's going on, no filming today?"

  "Just finished filming." Lin Miao said with some shyness, "Li Huan said you guys haven't eaten yet, and the crew happened to have prepared too many boxed lunches today, so they brought some over for you."

  Su Wen heard this and looked at Li Huan speechlessly: "Can the boxed meals from the crew be eaten?"

  Li Huan hadn't even spoken up when Lin Miao Miao hastily said: "Boss, it's really delicious. The boxed lunches ordered by Second Boss are all made by those famous chefs from Jiangning. One box lunch costs over a hundred yuan. Everyone in our crew says the food is too good."

  Su Wen was shocked: "This fatty is really a prodigal son, my money!"

  Li Huan and Lin Miaomiao burst out laughing.

  Li Huan and Lin Miaomiao brought boxed lunches that were really good, the group of people at Ju Bao Lou ate with great relish, several of them wanted to go to the crew to ask for a dragon suit role, as long as they didn't have to pay, just providing food would be fine.

  "Li Huan, how's the filming going for Fatty now?"

  "Too horrible to behold!"

  "What does it mean? Is it very poor?"

  "That fatty is recklessly spending money, the actors are secondary, he just spent 10 million on special effects. Not only that, his first movie hasn't even finished filming yet, but he's already planning the second and third installments. I've been scared by him these past few days."

  "He also wants you to film the second and third parts?"

  "Boss, you don't know this. Huan Ge's acting skills are great, and his martial arts moves are super cool. The martial arts instructor brought in by Second Boss was fired on the first day. According to Second Boss, with an actor as skilled as him, what do we need a martial arts instructor for?"

  Su Wen cried and laughed: "Li Huan, the things I taught you, you haven't used to help the weak and fight against the strong, but instead you've first applied them to making movies. What a misfortune for our school!"

  "Master's door?"

  "Don't worry about this anymore, after 'My Senior Sister is Not That Cute' finishes filming, you can come back and take charge of the Treasure Pavilion."

  "Alright, boss."

  Lin Miao and Li Huan left after sending the boxed lunch, Chen Yunhao clicked his tongue and said: "Indeed, the husband has feelings and the wife has intentions, I think they are going to be together."

  "Them?"

  "Li Huan and Lin Miao Miao!" Chen Yunhao said, "A director in the crew wanted to secretly date Lin Miao Miao, but was beaten into a cripple by Li Huan. Later I asked him why he was so angry, Li Huan told me that Lin Miao Miao is the person he likes, and that director is lucky to be still alive."

  Su Wen took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "First it was Zhou Fei, then Li Huan, is spring really coming?"

  In the afternoon, Yang Feixue really came.

  "Miss Yang has arrived, sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

  "Don't pretend to be polite, I know you can't wait for me to die." Yang Feixue got angry when she saw Su Wen. She thought she was pretty and capable enough, but she was actually dumped by Su Wen. Was there no justice in this world? She went back and told others, but they just had a matter-of-course attitude.

  "Alright, what's up?" Su Wen spread his hands out, with a look that said 'you're really hard to serve'.

  "Haven't you forgotten? The auction is about to start next month, what about the treasure we agreed on?" Yang Feixue said angrily.

  "I won't forget, everything is on the second floor. According to our previous agreement, take the San Ye Lingzhi to auction, and let you choose one or two other items." Su Wen said calmly, "Let's go to the second floor to discuss, this isn't a place for conversation."

  Su Wen and Yang Feixue arrived at the second floor, where Yi Xue was also present.

  "Yi Xue, are you really working for Su Wen?"

  "I work for myself too."

  Su Wen heard this and chuckled: "Yi Xue is the boss of Jibao Inn, she's naturally working for herself."

  Yang Feixue heard this and coldly snorted: "Bao Long, come over and take a look at these things."

  Baolong hastily walked over, the more he looked, the more surprised he became, finally nodding at Yang Feixue as if to convey some meaning.

  "Su Wen, our Sheng Shi Auction House wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Ju Bao Zhai. What do you think?" Yang Fei Xue said.

  "That's naturally no problem." Su Wen smiled slightly.

  "This is a contract I had someone draft, take a look and if there's no problem we can sign it now." Yang Fei Xue obviously had prior preparation, "Forget it, you won't understand anyway, let Yi Xue take a look instead!"

  Su Wen was depressed: "Then why did you pass it to me, setting me up!"

  Ten minutes later, Yixue said: "I roughly looked at the contract and simply stated three points. First, the term of the contract is too long, our Jibao Pawnshop will not sign a ten-year contract at once, at most three years, or one year at a time. Second, we need the privileges of white gold level customers. Third, your Shengshi Auction House has an obligation to do publicity for our Jibao Pawnshop, especially on your monthly journals. If you can do these three points, our Jibao Pawnshop can provide no less than two auction items for you every month."

  Yang Feixue heard this and said displeased: "You really are a lion with a big mouth, our Shengshi Auction House is the only one in Huaxia, Jibao Pavilion puts things in our Shengshi Auction House for consignment, and they have already gained a considerable profit, but you can still make so many demands, isn't that too greedy?"

  Yi Xue listened to this and didn't get angry: "Yang Feixue, the reason why Shengshi Auction House is so dominant in Huaxia is because it can always bring out so many treasures. But from what I understand, all Shengshi Auction Houses across the country are not doing well now, and some places have even started auctioning off items worth less than 10 million. If my guess is correct, you should be planning to close down some of the Shengshi Auction Houses already?"

  "You..."

  "Times are different from the past, your prosperous auction house may have a great reputation, but our Treasure Pavilion has precious objects in hand and doesn't need to be driven by you. If necessary, we can establish our own auction house, and as long as there are treasures, I believe that within three years, we can also become renowned."

  "This is a good idea, why don't we set up an auction house?" Su Wen seemed very excited, but his words were directly ignored.

  "Ice Snow, setting up an auction house requires a vast network of connections. Your Treasure Pavilion is not yet equipped with this condition. Given the current situation of Treasure Pavilion, there are not so many people to set up an auction house. Moreover, once you really set up an auction house, you will inevitably be squeezed by our Shengshi Auction House." Yang Feixue was very clear about his own advantages.

  "What you said is not wrong, and that's also the reason why our auction house hasn't been established. Yixue smiled, "However, have you forgotten that there are not only China in this world, but many other countries, and many auction houses? Among them, Sotheby's, Luxembourg, and Christie's three major auction houses have already established long-term cooperative relationships with us, so the things in our Jibaozhai don't worry about being unsold."

  Yang Feixue's face changed greatly when she heard this.
