"Okay!"
Jiang Xue nodded and issued orders to her subordinates. Soon, the people of Peace Mountain Villa were scattered in various corners.
"Let's go find Chen Jie!"
Wang Xiaoyan pulled Jiang Xue's hand and said excitedly.
"Mmm!"
Jiang Xue nodded heavily.
As they passed the main reception building, they heard a quarrel from inside.
"What's going on? Should we notify Chen Jie?" Wang Xiaoyan's pretty face changed as she spoke.
She had a small stake here, and Chen Jie owned half the shares. In her heart, anyone causing trouble on Chen Jie's territory was her own business, so she was very concerned.
"No need, let's just go take a look." Jiang Xue said calmly.
"Mmm-hmm!"
As Wang Xiaoyan walked, she said, "Lately, Chen Jie and I have been too busy, and we haven't had time to spend together. Jiang Xue, you must accompany Chen Jie well for me these past few days!"
Jiang Xue's pretty face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.
Wang Xiaoyan teased, "What? Didn't we agree that once Chen Jie makes a name for himself, you'd join me in becoming Chen Jie's woman? Don't be shy!"
"No, no..."
Jiang Xue said unnaturally, a blush spreading across her face.
"That's right. I'm usually busy, so I'll leave the task of accompanying Chen Jie to you, hahaha..."
The two arrived at the hall and saw an old man speaking excitedly.
"You people are like wolves that eat people and spit out their bones! To stay here, you charge a million a day? What kind of nonsense is this?"
The manager said with a smile, "I'm sorry, this is the price set by our leaders. We have no power to change it. If you have any objections, I suggest you find another place to stay!"
The old man, named Xie Dong, was a hermit who had lived in seclusion.
Half a year ago, after sensing that his strength was about to break through, he immediately went into seclusion to seek advancement.
However, after cultivating for half a year, he still couldn't break through that barrier.
Naturally, he was very anxious.
He felt that his lifespan was nearing its end, and if he didn't break through soon, he wouldn't live much longer.
Once he broke through, his lifespan would increase by more than ten, or even twenty, years.
Helpless, he had to emerge from seclusion and seek opportunities.
These past few days, he had received news about Peace Mountain Villa auctioning ancient cultivation methods.
Upon learning of the miraculous nature of the ancient cultivation methods, he immediately realized that these techniques were far superior to what he had been cultivating.
He was determined to obtain the ancient cultivation methods.
He secretly sneered, thinking that such a good thing as ancient cultivation methods could actually be put up for auction. The person who possessed these methods was truly an idiot!
But in the end, it would all benefit this old monster Xie!
Xie Dong was determined to obtain the ancient cultivation methods, whether by force or by financial means.
He believed that as someone who had walked the martial world, his financial resources would not be lacking. However, he was soon disappointed.
A mere entry ticket was priced at one hundred million, and staying here for a day cost a million!
Wouldn't everyone who wanted to buy the ancient cultivation methods be a nouveau riche?
"Back in my day, one yuan was equivalent to a hundred yuan now! When did money become so worthless? Has the world changed this much?"
Xie Dong thought to himself with resentment.
He currently only had five hundred million, and that was after borrowing money from a friend.
Originally, he thought he could buy the ancient cultivation methods with five hundred million, but now it seemed difficult.
Even if it was difficult, he had to attend the auction because he needed to know which nouveau riche would end up buying the ancient cultivation methods.
Only then could he make a move to seize it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know who possessed the ancient cultivation methods, let alone how to snatch them.
"Fine, a million it is. And give me an auction entry ticket!" Xie Dong gritted his teeth and accepted the price.
"I'm sorry, all the spots for the auction have been taken!" the manager said with a smile.
"What?"
Xie Dong was shocked again, and then impatiently said, "Sold out? What if I pay for it? How much? Fifty thousand or one hundred thousand?"
A flicker of disdain crossed the manager's eyes as he looked at Xie Dong.
Fifty thousand or one hundred thousand?
Was he trying to scold a beggar?
However, out of professional courtesy, he patiently explained, "We've received word that there are two individuals currently holding auction entry tickets who wish to sell them. One is asking for one hundred million yuan per ticket, and the other is asking for two hundred million."
"If you wish to buy, I can help you contact them."
"One hundred million?"
Xie Dong's expression immediately darkened. "Are you treating me like an idiot?"
"Sir, I didn't mean that..."
"You are treating me like an idiot! You're deliberately provoking me!"
Xie Dong became extremely agitated. "You're just a lowly worker, what right do you have to look down on me? Where is your boss? I want to see your leader and get an explanation! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
The manager's expression changed.
"Who do you want to kill?"
Two beautiful figures walked towards them.
Xie Dong immediately saw Wang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xue.
"Manager Wang!"
The manager naturally recognized Wang Xiaoyan.
Not only did she have shares in Donghai Real Estate, but she was also Chen Jie's woman. He had been trained to recognize her, so it wasn't surprising.
"The leaders are here, right? I am a super expert. You, this dog-eyed worker, immediately arrange free accommodation for me. I don't want to stay on a high floor; I want a villa! And also, give me an auction entry ticket."
Xie Dong believed that as long as he declared himself an expert, they would treat him with respect.
After all, if martial artists caused trouble, it would definitely not be a minor matter.
"What a big mouth!" Jiang Xue sneered.
"That's right, my mouth is indeed that big! Now, arrange a villa for me immediately! Otherwise, I'll strip you naked right here!" Xie Dong said provocatively.
Just saying he was a super expert wasn't enough; he wanted to intimidate these "trash."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be taken seriously enough!
"Alright!"
Jiang Xue said to the manager, "Find him a dog kennel to live in. As for the entry ticket, let him exchange it with his head!"
Although the manager didn't recognize Jiang Xue, seeing her walking with Wang Xiaoyan, he knew she was no ordinary person.
Moreover, Jiang Xue was speaking to him with the tone of a leader, which showed that she was not simple.
He wasn't stupid and knew that Jiang Xue said this because Xie Dong had offended her and made her unhappy.
He immediately said, "Someone, find this gentleman a dog kennel!"
"Sir, the deposit of one million, plus a pre-payment of one million for the dog kennel, please pay now! Oh, and if you want an entry ticket, you'll have to cut off your own head."
The manager announced loudly.
This attracted the attention of nearby onlookers.
Living in a dog kennel?
Such a thing was rarely seen.
"You dare to make me live in a dog kennel? You are so incredibly bold!" Xie Dong's face turned purple with anger.
"That's right, and we also want you to cut off your own head!" Jiang Xue said.
"Ahhh! You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"
Xie Dong went berserk!
