In fact, when Tang Duo and Tang Yong said that they were going to feast on a few people from Zhang Chu in the evening, Zhang Chu instantly felt that something was not right.
Because, Zhang Chu’s business this time, anyways, it was in the hundreds of millions of dollars, right? By all rights, the Tang Family should have other elders present.
Although Tang Yong was considered an elder, this kind of person who had never married in his entire life could only be considered a fringe person in a family like the Tang Family.
Therefore, Zhang Chu instantly felt that the Tang Family was being impolite, or that they could not see this business of over a billion dollars, or some other factor?
Of course, Zhang Chu did not point it out, he wanted to see Tang Duo’s attitude.
At the dinner party, Tang Duo opened her mouth and said, “There is good news and bad news.”
Seeing Tang Duo like this, Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue immediately glanced at each other, seeing that things didn’t seem to be going well.
So Shangguan Qingxue said, “Then let’s start with the good news first, so that we can be happy first.”
Tang Duo spoke, “Firstly, the auction, it’s still going well.”
“The venue, I’ve already negotiated for an auction to be held three days later, and at that time, I’ll release three ordinary magic artefacts.”
Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue nodded slightly.
Immediately after, Tang Duo explained, “The reason why I released the three first is to first make a bit of a name for myself and attract the attention of the upper circles.”
“Because there are too many magic weapons this time, if we release all of them at once, it might cause a flood of them, allowing many people to auction them away at low prices.”
“And, for the first auction, a lot of rich people might not be attracted to it, but when the information about the magic weapons is released, some people who are truly powerful will contact me.”
“Then, we’ll form a small circle auction.”
Zhang Chu instantly noticed the difference in Tang Duo’s wording.
In the beginning, when Tang Duo had taken this job, she had always said that the auction of these magic weapons would be very beneficial to the Tang Clan.
However, now, Tang Duo even stopped using the word “Tang Family” and instead said that rich people would contact her.
Zhang Chu instantly realised that there might be some problems within the Tang Family.
So Zhang Chu said, “Something is going on within your family?”
Tang Duo sighed, “I really can’t hide this from you, this is the bad news I was going to say.”
“For this deal, the Tang Family will not help you, the Tang Family’s network of connections, will not be used.”Tang Duo said.
Zhang Chu instantly frowned slightly, he couldn’t figure out why, this was clearly a win-win situation.
Shangguan Qingxue also couldn’t figure it out and similarly frowned.
At this time, Tang Duo sighed, “It’s just that within our family, some people are too whimsical.”
It could be seen that Tang Duo didn’t seem too willing to mention some of the things within their family.
Old man Tang Yong then said, “We can only say that every family has its own difficult experience, so you can understand it, right?”
But Tang Duo hurriedly said, “But don’t worry, even if the elders of the Tang family are not willing to step in and help me, these magic weapons of yours, I will be able to sell them at a price that will satisfy you all just the same.”
Shangguan Qingxue nodded at once, “Duo Duo, we believe in you!”
Zhang Chu mused and suddenly asked, “What you guys are saying is that the Tang Clan knows about the existence of so many magic weapons within the Tang Clan, yet there are still people who are unwilling to help us?”
Tang Duo was a little embarrassed, “Yes.”
Tang Yong, on the other hand, said in a very subtle manner, “Zhang Chu, ah, I’ll give you a reminder, those magic weapons, you must protect them well, and also, other than Tang Duo and I, don’t trust anyone else in the Tang Family.”
When these words were said, Zhang Chu instantly understood what they meant.
The Tang Family was dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits!
Because Tang Duo had promised Zhang Chu and the others that after the auction, they would only receive a 2% commission, Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue had inquired about it, and that percentage was, in fact, very low.
Tang Duo and Shangguan Qingxue were on good terms, and Shangguan Qingxue had directly sent Tang Duo a pair of earrings, so Tang Duo would definitely adhere to this percentage.
However, the Tang Clan was not necessarily so.
Zhang Chu could even imagine the elders of the Tang family accusing Tang Duo of turning her elbow outwards.
“It seems that it’s not easy for her either.”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
However, Tang Duo belonged to the category of people with a big heart, and she had a relatively strong stress-bearing ability and did not show too much frustration.
Thus, Zhang Chu said, “It doesn’t matter, anyway, in the future, we’ll just recognise Tang Duo and Master Jiu as friends, as for the others, it has nothing to do with us.”
Tang Yong immediately laughed, “Hahaha, that’s right, we don’t want to think that much, drink!”
However, it was only without the help of the Tang Family, but the two people, Tang Duo and Tang Yong, had their own connections and strength right here in the King’s Capital, so in fact, Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue weren’t really that disappointed.
It could even be said that the two were relieved that they didn’t interact with this kind of big family, and that it was actually easier to get along with them.
After a few cups of wine, Tang Duo said, “In these three days, you guys can feel free to go and stroll around the Xu Garden, the auction is near the Xu Garden, there’s a large cultural curiosity market there, and magical artefacts are dabbling with the cultural curiosity category.”
“Good, I’ve heard that many people can find treasures in Xu Garden.”Shangguan Qingxue said.
Tang Duo immediately laughed: “That was before, many people can pick up leaks, nowadays in this era, there are very few people who can pick up leaks, most of the objects that seem to be picking up leaks are all the bureaus that other people do.”
Shangguan Qingxue then said, “Anyway, go to see it, in case there is really a treasure, I heard, there are many people who have made a fortune there.”
Tang Yong immediately heatedly smiled, “That’s right, to say Xu Yuan, that’s definitely a good place to make a fortune! Catch up with luck, can’t stop it.”
Zhang Chu asked, “Has the old master seen a fortune?”
Tang Yong instantly shouted, “Of course, over the years, old man I have seen too many people who have become rich overnight!”
And then, Tang Yong lowered his voice, “I’ve seen the most powerful one, after staying in Xu Yuan for half a month, he directly went from a penniless poor boy to a billionaire with over a hundred million dollars.”
“So powerful?”Shangguan Qingxue immediately stared wide-eyed.
Tang Duo, on the other hand, said, “There are only a very few people like that, I’ve heard of that person, it’s said that his eyes are very special, anything that people just look at, they can tell the year.”
“Even, some people say that he might be able to see through.”
Shangguan Qingxue was staggered.
But soon Tang Duo said, “But the good times didn’t last long, I heard that that person somehow disappeared, some people said, his eyes were all gouged out, anyway, up to now, he can’t see a person in life or in death.”
“So horrible!”Shangguan Qingxue exclaimed in a small voice.
Tang Duo, on the other hand, sighed, “Some people don’t know the heights of heaven, relying on their own somewhat ability to put no one in their eyes, I heard that person even dared to snatch a woman from some of the king’s capital’s noble dukes, hehe ……”
Zhang Chu’s heart was clear, in this king’s capital, possessing too many strange people, really encountering hard stubs, dying without knowing how to die.
At this time, Tang Yong then drank a cup of wine: “Needless to say others, in fact, ah, I also made a fortune in Xu Yuan back then!”
“Thinking back then, when I was at my most downtrodden, I had only ten or so dollars left in my pocket.”
“As a result, I came across a little lady dressed in grey, who wanted to sell a bowl, saying that she had picked it up from the foot of the mountain after heavy rains had washed it out, and asked if it was worth anything.”
“I told you ah, you this thing no one wants, I see you poor, buy you two buns to eat it, just like this, two buns for a bowl ……”
Old man Tang Yong began to brag, and everyone listened attentively.
