Early the next morning.
Teacher Sun from Hanhai Auction House called Dong Xuebin and said that the pearl necklace chain had been remade and would go on preview that morning. He asked whether Dong Xuebin wanted to come take a look. In fact, this upcoming auction could no longer be considered a small one. Truly small auctions did not even have a preview stage. After hearing this, Dong Xuebin did not go over. He only asked Teacher Sun to help arrange admission credentials for the formal auction the next day, because he genuinely did not have spare cash to pay the deposit required for entry. Flat broke, he could only pull a few strings.
At seven thirty, after brushing his teeth and washing up, Dong Xuebin arrived at Qu Yunxuan's home.
Qu Yunxuan was holding her handbag and preparing to leave. "Auntie thought you'd sleep in. Why are you up so early?"
Dong Xuebin said, "Didn't we talk about it last night? I'm going to the newspaper office with you. I want to see what that Gong bastard is trying to do."
Upon hearing that, Qu Yunxuan put on a stern face. "Xiao Bin, don't make trouble. Stay home and behave. Auntie can handle this herself."
"What can you handle? That bastard Gong has already pushed us around this far. What did it mean when he sent his little brother to your home late at night? Huh? What did it mean? To have a heart-to-heart? To chat? Bullshit!" Dong Xuebin was furious. "If you hadn't stopped me so hard last night, I would've gone out and beaten him up already. Who the hell does he think he is? Just because he's a deputy director, he gets to do whatever he wants? Who does he think he is?"
