After Wen Tianzong left, Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "You don't need to pay attention to him at all!"
As long as you don't take the initiative to flatter someone, not only will you not suffer from such cowardice, but you won't attract the other person's attention, and you'll end up in trouble.
But Qiu Yijian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ye, I was able to build Jubao Auction House from penniless in just ten years, and expand the branch to every corner of the Central Territory. I have experienced a lot of bitterness and helplessness,
Maybe it’s something you can’t imagine!”
"this……"
Ye Chen was suddenly speechless.
As the saying goes, don’t persuade others to do good without going through their suffering.
Although he could imagine it, he had never experienced it personally.
Furthermore, his character never liked to compromise with him. He believed that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to reach Qiu Yijian's current height.
"The Prime Minister's Office is powerful and powerful. Even if I feel aggrieved, I would not dare to go against them!"
Qiu Yijian laughed at himself, "After all, apart from the superficial appearance of a businessman like me, in the eyes of the real people in power, I am just a clown. Opposing the Prime Minister's Office is like a cricket shaking a tree and striking a stone with an egg."
Having said this, he cast an envious look at Ye Chen again, "Brother Ye, sometimes I really envy you!"
"Envy me?"
Ye Chen was confused when he heard this.
Qiu Yijian sighed: "You kind of casual cultivators can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. You can do whatever you want. If you don't like anyone, you don't have to make yourself look good to the other person!"
"I'm different!"
He spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "For the sake of the future of the auction house, many times I have to put down my dignity and cling to the powerful without conscience!"
"Everyone has their own difficulties!"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Although I don't have to look at other people's faces when I act, I still face a lot of helplessness!"
"Crack!"
While Ye Chen and the two were talking, a burst of footsteps came closer and closer.
Looking around, they saw two young men walking side by side towards them.
One man and one woman!
The man was wearing a silk brocade robe, with a fair face, and he was holding a folding fan, making him look very elegant.
As for the woman, she has a proud figure, a delicate face, and looks quite playful.
"Brother Qiu, do you know these two people?"
Seeing the man and woman getting closer and closer, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.
Because the two people not only walked straight towards them, but even before they got close, they had friendly smiles on their faces.
"I don't know him either!"
Qiu Yijian looked at the man and woman and shook his head.
"If you don't know me, why are they staring at you and smiling at you?"
This time Ye Chen didn't speak yet, so Jin Lin also asked in surprise.
"this……"
Qiu Yijian thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Maybe they know me, but I don't know them!"
"It seems like you are quite famous in China!"
Jin Lin joked.
“It’s not enough to compare with the previous ones, but it’s more than enough to compare with the inferior ones!”
Qiu Yijian shook his head.
At this time, the man and woman had already approached.
Sure enough, the gentle-looking man walked straight up to Qiu Yijian, cupped his hands, and asked with a smile: "May I ask if you are Qiu Yijian, the shopkeeper of Jubao Auction House?"
"That's right!"
Qiu Yijian nodded first, and then asked, "I wonder who you two are..."
"I'm here Guo Qin!"
The man first announced his name, then pointed to the playful woman beside him and introduced: "This is my sister Guo Mingyue!"
"Guo Qin?
Guo Mingyue?"
Qiu Yijian pondered for a moment, then showed a look of realization, "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Brother Guo and Miss Guo. What a pleasure to meet!"
He looked familiar, but the expressions of the two brothers Guo Qin were a little strange.
Ye Chen on the side suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
It seems that Qiu Yijian is up to his old tricks again.
Before, he met Qiu Yijian for the first time outside the Abyss of Sin, and the other party kept saying things like, "Your Excellency's famous name has long been heard like thunder."
After some testing, he realized that he had been tricked by the other party.
Because Qiu Yijian didn't know him at all, it was just to give him the feeling that he had met him late.
So judging from the changes in the expressions of Guo Qin and Guo Mingyue, Qiu Yijian probably doesn't know each other either, and is just repeating his old tricks.
really……
"Does Shopkeeper Qiu recognize us brother and sister?"
Guo Qin asked cautiously.
Qiu Yijian's expression froze, and he glanced sideways at Ye Chen. After seeing Ye Chen's uncontrollable smile, he said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, there may have been a mistake just now. The two of you are not Guo who I know each other."
Two brothers and sisters!"
After Qiu Yijian compromised, the Guo Qin brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and the vigilance in their eyes disappeared.
Guo Qin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, as long as I get to know Shopkeeper Qiu!"
"You two are also going to Qianqiu Pavilion?"
Qiu Yijian asked casually.
"Yes!"
Guo Qin nodded and said meaningfully: "Just now, we, brother and sister, were not far away and saw shopkeeper Qiu being left out in the cold!"
Qiu Yijian's face darkened, "I wonder what Brother Guo wants to express?"
He had just been snubbed and humiliated by Wen Tianzong, and he was holding back his anger.
This Guo Qin, whom he didn't even know, actually mentioned this matter again as soon as he came here. Isn't this a case of not opening the pot and lifting the pot?
"Shopkeeper Qiu, don't get excited. I'm just feeling a little angry for you!"
Guo Qin waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It is rumored that the young master of the Prime Minister's Office, Wen Tian, is arrogant and domineering. Now that I see him, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
"Brother Guo, although I don't know who you are, not everyone can comment casually in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please think twice before speaking to avoid unnecessary trouble for yourself!"
Qiu Yijian kindly reminded me.
But Guo Qin disagreed, shrugged and said nonchalantly: "If Shopkeeper Qiu wants to report it to Wen Tianzong, I have nothing to say!"
"This...that's not the case!"
Qiu Yijian thought for a moment, then shook his head, "How to evaluate the Prime Minister's Office and Mr. Wen are two people's freedom. I have no right to interfere. I just reminded you well. As for whether you listen or not, that is your business!"
"Thank you for reminding!"
Guo Qin smiled, and then looked at Ye Chen and Jin Lin aside, "I wonder who these two are..."
"This is my friend!"
Qiu Yijian pointed at Ye Chen, "His name is Ye Chen!"
Then, he pointed at Jinlin again, "This is Jinlin girl!"
"It turns out it's Young Master Ye and Miss Jin. I'm so glad to meet you!"
Guo Qin showed a kind smile.
Guo Mingyue, who had never spoken next to her, also said: "I have seen Mr. Ye and Miss Jin!"
“Each other!”
Jin Lin also hurriedly returned the favor.
"By the way, are you two helping shopkeeper Qiu manage the auction house, or are you just friends?"
Guo Qin asked curiously as if he remembered something.
"We are friends!"
Before Ye Chen and Jin Lin could answer, Qiu Yijian explained: "Master Ye and Miss Jin are from the Southern Region. I was lucky enough to get to know them before, so I'll entertain them!"
"Are you from the Southern Territory?"
A look of surprise flashed across Guo Qin's face, and his eyes suddenly became curious as he looked at Ye Chen and Jin Lin.
Guo Mingyue next to her said excitedly: "I heard that the Southern Territory is at least a hundred thousand miles away from here. For the two of you to cross such a long distance and come to the Central Territory, it seems that your cultivation must have surpassed the emperor level!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen frowned slightly.
These two people are not simple!
Qiu Yijian just introduced that he and Jin Lin were from the Southern Region, but he immediately thought of his own cultivation.
Thinking this in his heart, and not wanting to lose his etiquette, he still smiled and said: "Miss Guo is ridiculously complimenting me. With an emperor-level cultivation level, it should be nothing more than a joke in this central realm where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden!"
