Hearing Zhou Pingyong's words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"It should be said that it's not our luck that's bad, but yours. If this Shi Da Xiao's superior is who I think it is, I might know them," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Chen speculated that Shi Da Xiao's superior was most likely someone from the Dragon Martial Institute, perhaps even Zeng Xianyi. Even if it wasn't Zeng Xianyi, Jiang Chen had at least seen someone from the Dragon Martial Institute before; even if he didn't remember them, they would certainly remember him.
"Heh, maybe you know someone, but they don't know you," Zhou Pingyong sneered.
"Then let's wait for him to come over," Jiang Chen replied calmly.
"I hope you can remain this composed when he arrives." Seeing Jiang Chen still exuding confidence, Zhou Pingyong's smile grew increasingly cold.
"Brother, look at this Golden Buddha; it's so beautiful! I wonder how much it costs?" Jiang Lu tugged at her brother's sleeve, pointing at a Golden Buddha displayed under a glass case nearby.
Jiang Lu was unwilling to let her brother waste time with Zhou Pingyong and quickly shifted the topic.
Jiang Chen looked at the Golden Buddha; it radiated a faint Buddhist light and contained spiritual power, likely due to years of being blessed by a High Monk and the devotion of its followers.
"It's quite nice. Do you like it? If you do, we can buy it," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"How about we buy it as a gift for Guan Waipo?" Jiang Lu suggested cheerfully.
"Sounds good," Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
"You shouldn't spend so much; this Golden Buddha must be quite valuable, and Guan Waipo shouldn't accept such an expensive gift," the elderly lady interjected hastily.
"Don't worry, Grandma; my brother is very wealthy," Jiang Lu replied with a grin.
"Even if he's wealthy, he shouldn't spend money recklessly. This Golden Buddha, if customized in pure gold today, would only cost hundreds of thousands; but if it's an antique, it could be worth millions or even tens of millions—it's not worth it," the elderly lady expressed her concern for money.
Although the Zhou family was relatively well-off, their disposable cash was limited, and they couldn't afford antiques.
"Miss Yue, please help me secure this Golden Buddha; we'll settle the payment after the auction," Jiang Chen instructed, showing no concern for money when buying things.
"You really shouldn't; Guan Waipo doesn't need this," the elderly lady insisted.
"Zhou Laotai, I can't go against Mr. Jiang's wishes. The items displayed here are worth at least tens of millions; Mr. Jiang is honoring you and certainly won't mind the price—please rest assured," Yue Hui smiled reassuringly.
The elderly lady could only remain silent in resignation.
Yue Hui called over some staff members and inquired in detail about the Golden Buddha's condition. The items on display were indeed for sale, but they had fixed prices that were often higher than auction prices; this Golden Buddha had a fixed price of twenty-five million.
To be honest, that price for a Golden Buddha was indeed steep. Yue Hui's company was a jewelry group and could customize Golden Buddhas as well; however, since it was something Jiang Chen wanted, the price didn't matter at all.
"Alright, twenty-five million it is. Just leave this Golden Buddha for me, and I'll make the payment after the auction ends," Yue Hui said.
"Understood, President Yue," the staff member nodded. Given Yue Hui's status, there was no need for a deposit if she intended to purchase the Golden Buddha.
"Hold on." Just as the transaction was about to be finalized, an unpleasant voice suddenly interrupted. A group of young people approached, and at the forefront was a young man, around thirty years old. He wore red pants and a checkered suit, his hair slicked back and dyed yellow. Sporting sunglasses, he exuded a strong scent of cologne even before he arrived. It was he who spoke.
