Su Meiji stepped outside the door and spoke a few words with someone. Upon return, she whispered softly into Luo Feng’s ear.
“Is it Mayor Niu?”
“Please invite him in quickly!”
As soon as Luo Feng’s words fell, about a minuteter, a man around 60 years old, apanied by his secretary, entered the room.
“Mr. Luo, greetings. I am Niu Jinda, the Mayor of Xianyang City. The evaluation and grading of the cultural relics have beenpleted!”
“The Imperial Jade Seal is undoubtedly genuine!”
“However, the Nine Zhou Ding is a counterfeit!”
“The Suihou Pearl is genuine!”
“And the Tai’a Sword! It is also genuine!”
After Niu Jinda listed these findings, the attractive women around him stared with wide eyes, clearly stunned.
It was exhrating—absolutely exhrating—too exhrating.
Many of them immediately picked up the news to read. The authentication of the Imperial Jade Seal being genuine was released at six o’clock by the Chinese Cultural Relics Bureau. As soon as the news was out, the world’s attention was immediately captured. It was utterly shocking…
“Mr. Luo, when should we hold the auction? You can decide on the time,” Niu Jinda respectfully asked.
Rumors circted that Luo Feng had connections with some of the top ten figures in the Forbidden City. Local mayors like Niu Jinda were nothing inparison. Though they wielded power in their own domains, the higher-ups could strip them of their influence with a single document. How could someone like Luo Feng not be respected?
But in reality, Luo Feng found it ridiculous. He had only had a brief phone call with one of those influential figures, during which he informed them that the Yongle Encyclopedia, which documented the locations of Genghis Khan’s and Zhuge Liang’s tombs, had to be sold to the Forbidden City for its collection. After that, there had been no further contact.
“Since the relics have been evaluated and graded, let’s notify everyone that the auction will start after lunch today, at around…”
“On second thought, there are many items. Let’s start at nine o’clock in the morning,” Luo Feng decided after some thought.
With more than three thousand items, the auction would not bepleted in a single day. Time was of the essence.
“You are discriminating against us!”
“You are giving us biased treatment!”
“If the auction is open to everyone, why aren’t you letting us in?”
At the hotel entrance, a group of foreigners were being stopped by the hotel staff. Two Chinese men, likely the trantors for the foreigners, spoke up.
“What’s going on here?”
Before the auction began, Luo Feng intended to take the beautiful women for a walk outside. It had been some time since they had experienced the streets of modern society, and they all missed it. However, they encountered this situation at the hotel entrance.
“These people are from the Louvre,” a staff member informed Luo Feng.
“The Louvre?” Luo Fengughed upon hearing the staff’s exnation. Wasn’t that the famous museum in France, one of the top four museums in the world?
“Heh, didn’t you all sayst time that you wouldn’t deal with foreigners anymore? Have you forgotten?” Luo Feng didn’t spare them any dignity. After all, he wasn’t an official, so they couldn’t use him ofcking the demeanor of a great nation.
“Mr. Luo, this time we…”
“Get lost! Get the hell out of here! If you keep yapping, I’ll make sure you regret it,” Luo Feng snapped without any further discussion.
The soldiers on guard found this exchange quite satisfying. Due to their status, they couldn’t openly scold or expel people. However, Luo Feng, as the owner of these treasures, had every right to send them away.
With a stern expression, the group from the Louvre reluctantly retreated. Luo Feng’s assertiveness left a deep impression on them, and the soldiers couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and relief.
