All Leaders (Second Update)
It was just before five in the afternoon.
The sun was setting, and night would soon fall.
Dong Xuebin parked outside Yun De Auction Company. As he got out and walked inside, he wondered whether he should pretend to be sick. A relapse of an old illness? A cold? Could he find some excuse to put this off for now? But then he reconsidered. Faking illness would be too obvious; even an idiot would see through it. It would only leave Old Master Xie and Sister Xie's parents with a worse impression of him. Better to grit his teeth and go through with it.
Forget it. What was he scared of?
Who had he ever been afraid of in his life?
"Is Xiao Taoer here?" Dong Xuebin asked a girl at the front desk.
The girl recognized Dong Xuebin immediately and knew he had an unusual relationship with President Qu. "You're looking for President Qu's secretary? Please wait a moment. I'll contact her right away."
Before long, Xiao Taoer came downstairs.
Dong Xuebin got straight to the point. "You have the key to Yun Xuan's safe, right? Help me get a box of Wild Ginseng."
Xiao Taoer knew that all that Wild Ginseng belonged to him. "Would you like to come upstairs with me? What age do you need?"
"I won't go up. Um, fifty-year-old ginseng. I remember there's still one box left."
Originally, only Qu Yunxuan held the key to the safe. But she had gone traveling in Hong Kong and Macau with her parents, and in case something came up at the company, she had given the key to Xiao Taoer. If it had been anyone else, Xiao Taoer might have called Qu Yunxuan to ask first. But there was no need for that
