That ambiguous layer of gauze was finally pierced by Gu Mian's directness.

  She was very clear that in this matter, she couldn't give the other party any leeway at all. As long as she had a thread of wavering, Du Hao would use his full strength to infinitely magnify this thread of wavering.

  When Du Hao was pursuing her, she had doubts and uncertainties before agreeing, but the other party took advantage of the opportunity to pursue her aggressively, so from Du Hao's mouth, "Miss Gu" became "Ming Ming".

  "Don't call me Mengmeng from now on, we're just acquaintances. Calling each other so intimately will lead to misunderstandings." Gu Meng thought for a moment and continued: "I hope this is the last time, treat your wife well, don't hurt another woman after hurting one already."

  This time, Du Hao didn't say a word, he just stared deeply at Gu Mian, and Gu Mian didn't avoid him either, staring straight back.

  Finally, Du Hao said nothing and turned away.

  Gu Meng let out a soft sigh and was about to close the door again when she saw a beautifully wrapped bouquet of lily flowers placed at the entrance.

  Lily of the valley was once her favorite flower. Every time she got angry or unhappy, Du Hao would buy a bunch of fresh lily of the valley for her.

  Unfortunately, since breaking up with Du Hao, she no longer liked lily fragrances.

  Maybe Du Hao really listened to Gu Mei's words this time, and he didn't appear in front of her for several days, nor did he call again.

  At the same time, the shipping auction house also sent her a formal notice to give her double salary and let her not go to Hai Yun to work again.

  After learning about this matter, Bai Fangfang didn't say a word and proactively resigned. In her own words, she was always doing odd jobs at the shipping auction house and couldn't even get close to being an appraiser, so it's better for her to go out and broaden her horizons rather than wasting time there.

  Gu Xiang knew that Bai Fangfang's family was well-off, and she could do whatever she wanted in the future, so she didn't bother talking to this girl much. Moreover, she felt that relying on Bai Fangfang's temperament was not suitable for doing odd jobs at Hai Yun Auction House all the time. It might be okay for a short while, but if it went on for too long, who knows what would happen?

  The things at Hai Yun Auction House made Gu Mian somewhat unhappy. Fortunately, the heavens did not abandon her, Professor Wang had asked Boss Zheng about it, and Boss Zheng said that Gu Mian could go to work at any time.

  Mr. Zheng had gone out of town on business, so only Jin Ge was left to take care of the Ji Bao Shan house. Gu Mei adjusted her mood and went to the Ji Bao Shan house at the agreed time.

  "Brother Jin, I'm here!" Gu Mian walked into the Ji Bao Shan house with a package of walnuts.

  "I've been waiting for you!" Jin Ge put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled at Gu Mian.

  "It's the thought that counts. This is for sister-in-law, I heard that eating walnuts during pregnancy is good for the body." Gu Mei handed the walnuts to Jin Ge.

  "How can this be, Little Guo, you're too polite! Last time you just gave me a peace knot, and now you're giving me walnuts again. If others didn't know, they'd think I'm taking advantage of you!" Jin Ge stretched out his hand to block him.

  "This is for your sister-in-law, you don't have the right to decline. If you really feel uncomfortable, just be nice to me during my working hours here." Gu Mian stuffed the walnut into Jin Ge's arms without giving him a chance to refuse: "This walnut isn't one of those ordinary ones on the market, I had it mailed to me by an acquaintance, and it's very beneficial for the baby's development. You won't even be able to buy it outside."

  Jin Ge is now most concerned about his wife and the child in her belly. Upon hearing Gu Mian say this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed to continue insisting: "You little rascal, it seems like I have no choice but to take care of you!"

  "Then thank you, Brother Jin." Gu Ming bowed his hands towards Brother Jin.

  Jin Ge smiled and led Gu Ming to the other side of the counter, put away the walnuts, and carefully told Gu Ming some things that needed attention.

  Gu Mei was quite familiar with the house on Jibao Mountain, so Jin Ge roughly explained it to her. She understood it quickly and got started easily, making Jin Ge nod his head in delight. He thought that he had finally found a suitable person, which greatly reduced his stress.

  "I still trust Xiao Gu's judgment. If someone sends something over, just take a look. If it's suitable, you can estimate the price yourself and accept it. If it's too expensive or uncertain, then don't bother." Jin Ge instructed carefully.

  "I've just arrived at Jin Ge and you're already letting me be in charge of such an important matter, what if something goes wrong?" Gu Mian looked at Jin Ge with a difficult expression.

  "Alright, you didn't come with Professor Wang to our store for nothing, did you? I know what level you're at. Don't try to fool me here. As soon as you arrived, I set a limit of 3000 yuan for you. But remember, we opened the door of Jibao Mountain House to do business, so...". Jin Ge winked at Gu Mian.

  "I understand, no business is not deceitful." Gu Ming said with a smile.

  "By the way, about Hai Yun's side of things, has anyone come looking for you?" Jin Ge suddenly asked in a lowered voice.

  Because she wanted to explain why she suddenly wanted to work at Jibao Mountain House, she didn't hide her encounter at Haiyun Auction House from Boss Zheng and Jin Ge.

  "The police station people found me to make a record once, and then nothing happened. What's wrong, what happened?" Gu Mian asked curiously.

  "Hai Yun Auction House's reputation, which has been slowly accumulated over the years, is almost ruined. Their auctioneer, Feng Wei, was found to have done similar things in previous years, but they all managed to cover it up smoothly. Now, many people who had bought items from Hai Yun Auction House are taking their purchases back for re-authentication, and indeed, several problematic ones were discovered. The people at Hai Yun Auction House are now in a state of panic." Jin Ge let out a sigh.

  In fact, some domestic auction houses have also done things like selling fake products as genuine ones, but some were found out and others not, and because the laws in this regard are not very perfect at home, many people take advantage of loopholes.

  If it were another auction house, this incident would have some impact on the reputation of the auction house, but as long as it is handled properly, it may not necessarily suffer a devastating blow.

  But Hai Yun is different, their boss behind is French, in France, for auction houses to sell fake products as genuine products, there are severe penalties, and Hai Yun has been promoting the adherence to this French regulation externally, which has received praise from everyone.

  It is said that when things reach an extreme, they will reverse; a full moon will wane, and overflowing water will spill.

  The Haily auction house, which has always been known for not selling counterfeit goods, suddenly came up with this incident, which must have caused a huge stir. Of course, the news will spread so fast and so widely, and in all of this, the shadow of other competitors cannot be avoided.

  The business world is like a battlefield; whoever laughs last is the real winner.

  As for whether it was the appraiser of the auction house who replaced the fake with the real one or the auction house itself had a problem, this is no longer what everyone cares about. Anyway, there is a problem, this is an iron fact, and Hai Yun Auction House cannot deny it.

  Jin Ge would mention this matter, but he just thought that Gu Mian, as an indirect victim, should know about it, and there was no other meaning to it. He quickly changed the subject and talked to Gu Mian about other things.

  With Gu Mian as a good helper, Jin Ge endured the urge to return home and take care of his wife for three days. On the fourth day, seeing that Gu Mian was able to handle the daily affairs of Jibao Mountain House well, and with the help of other original employees here, Jin Ge took the opportunity to play hooky, only letting Gu Mian call him when he encountered things he couldn't solve.

  On a summer afternoon, the heat became more and more oppressive. Even with the air conditioner on in her room at Jibao Mountain House, Gu Miao still felt uncomfortable, and even felt dizzy from the strong airflow.

  It's so hot outside that most people don't want to go out unless necessary, so there are only a few customers coming in every afternoon.

  Spring is sleepy, autumn is lazy, summer is drowsy, Gu Ming leaned on the counter with one hand supporting her chin, listlessly flipping through an antique magazine, feeling quite bored.

  "Excuse me, do you accept items here?" A man who looked to be around twenty-seven or eight years old walked into the store, scanned the area and finally fixed his gaze on Gu Miao.

  There's a guest arriving!

  She was originally dozing off, but suddenly came to her senses. She had been at the Ji Bao Shan house for several days and hadn't met anyone who came to sell things yet. Most of them were here to buy things, which made her hands feel a bit itchy. When she had nothing to do, she would often use her left hand to stroke the antiques in the store, feeling the different feelings brought by various unique antiques.

  "Please come in, we also accept goods here." Gu Mian hastily walked out from behind the counter and led the other person to a wooden table specifically used for receiving guests.

  The man saw that he was being entertained by a young girl and his face showed some uncertainty: "Where is the boss of your store?"

  "Our boss is not here, sir. Is there anything you can tell me first? If it's suitable, I can also make the decision to accept it." Gu Mian knew what the other party was being cautious about and quickly spoke up.

  The man hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

  Gu Mei let out a slight sigh of relief and smiled at the man: "I'm Xiao Gu, may I ask your surname, sir? What is it that you want to sell?"

  "My surname is Hu. I want to sell this." Mr. Hu put down the bag he was holding in his hand on the table, and then took out what was inside the bag.

  It's clear that the thing hadn't been given much attention by its owner, and was simply wrapped in a few sheets of newspaper. Mr. Hu quickly tore off the newspaper, revealing what was inside, and placed it in front of Gu Xiang.

  That thing has a dull color, with prominent reliefs on the outer wall, about 12 cm in height, looking like a cup.
