Chapter 495 – Meeting an Old Friend
Fatty Lai's words were smooth, but he didn't say a single thing about the actual problem. Whether or not the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing would be available in the future, and when, he didn't say! He also didn't say what items would be added for the third auction, and whether or not they would be added was still unknown!
But even with this kind of slick and ambiguous attitude, the people present were still very excited and expectant. Vague things always let people's imagination run wild!
"You sure know how to talk. That's as good as not saying anything." Lin Yi smiled faintly as he watched Fatty Lai come down.
"Heh heh, that's true. How can we just say things like that? It's a trade secret! " Fatty Lai smiled shyly. "But boss, do you think we'll be auctioning anything else for the third auction?"
"What else?" Lin Yi didn't have anything prepared, but it wasn't too late to prepare now.
"I heard that Doctor Kang's auctioning some special edition Golden Creation medicine tomorrow. I heard that it heals wounds faster than normal medicine," Fatty Lai said. "Why don't we auction some special edition Golden Creation medicine as well? I've already offended him to death, and once our medicine hits the market, we'll be competitors. We don't have to worry about making enemies with them! "
"Hm?" Lin Yi's interest was piqued when he heard that Doctor Kang had special edition Golden Creation medicine in the auction as well. "Let me think, let's see what I can come up with. Let's see if it can surpass his!"
"That's great! As expected of the boss!" Fatty Lai nodded repeatedly. "That's true. It'd be meaningless if it were the same as them. It'd look like we're trying to copy him!"
The following auction items were all ordinary items. Of course, this was only relative. Because even if these items were to be brought to an ordinary auction, they would be considered top-notch items!
It was just that everyone here had seen the world, so they weren't too surprised by these things. None of the bids were higher than the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. In fact, they weren't even a tenth of the price!
Lin Yi wasn't interested anymore, so Fatty Lai left his seat and went to the backstage of the auction to handle the handover procedures. The profits from the three pills, minus the money spent on the sheepskin map, were all deposited into Fatty Lai's account.
After the paperwork was done, Fatty Lai returned with the map and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi opened it and glanced at it, then put it away. This was not the place to study these things, and Lin Yi did not intend to study them, at least not now.
Including the piece at home, Lin Yi only had two pieces of the map. He didn't know how big the map was and how many pieces it was divided into, so the two pieces he had were practically useless.
Lin Yi had asked Fatty Lai to bid for it out of curiosity. He didn't expect the map to bring him any benefits, it was just a spur of the moment decision.
The auction ended quickly. Other than the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, none of the other items had this kind of effect. After a few bids, the auction ended abruptly.
There was nothing special about the first day's auction, and it was the same every year. It was just that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was a special case.
Lin Yi, Fatty Lai, and Guan Xuemin stood up and prepared to leave, but they saw Doctor Kang looking in their direction. His face froze when he saw Lin Yi and Guan Xuemin.
Lin Yi nodded at him and smiled.
Doctor Kang had long suspected that Lin Yi was a second-generation heir, so he only frowned when he saw him with Fatty Lai and Guan Xuemin. As far as he was concerned, Guan Xuemin's business career was all thanks to Lin Yi and Fatty Lai.
The investor was most likely Fatty Lai, and this Lin Yi probably had some shares as well. But Doctor Kang didn't think much of it. The person he was afraid of was Fatty Lai, the veteran businessman.
"Lin Yi!" Xiaoxiao couldn't believe what she was seeing. She rubbed her eyes and confirmed that it was Lin Yi. She ran over and cried out in joy. "Lin Yi! Lin Yi!
“？” Lin Yi turned around and looked at Xiaoxiao, surprised. He didn't understand why he would see her here! Lin Yi didn't believe that Xiaoxiao followed him here, because he didn't see her at all when he boarded the plane! The only possibility was that it was a coincidence. He smiled bitterly. "Why are you here?"
"Yeah, why are you here?" Xiaoxiao asked at the same time.
"I'm just looking around with my friends." Lin Yi smiled. "I still have something to do. I'll be going."
Lin Yi didn't want to get too close to Xiaoxiao. This girl's way of thinking was a little weird, and it made Lin Yi want to stay away from her.
"Are you coming tomorrow? Are we going to sit together? "Xiaoxiao was annoyed. Why was Lin Yi so cold to her? But on the surface, she looked at Lin Yi expectantly and asked pitifully.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Lin Yi didn't want to waste time with her.
"Alright, I'll come find you tomorrow!" Xiaoxiao remembered that her dad was still waiting for her. She didn't want to talk too much with Lin Yi. But seeing Lin Yi here gave her an inexplicable sense of excitement. It was a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land? Or was it a chance for her to make Lin Yi fall in love with her? Or was it because she was bored?
At that moment, Gonggao and Chentian walked over briskly. Gonggao was tempted after learning that Guan Xuemin was the one who'd made the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. He wanted to talk to Guan Xuemin and see if he could get him another one.
"Professor Guan! Long time no see! I've missed you! " Gonggao was wearing a long robe, looking quite like a martial artist. He cupped his fists excitedly when he saw Xuemin.
"Haha, Elder Wu, how are you?" Xuemin nodded with a smile. He'd given Gonggao acupuncture before, so he wasn't a stranger, but he didn't act overly friendly or familiar.
Xuemin's attitude towards noble houses had always been neutral, and he didn't get too close to any of them. Even the famous House Yu and the Iron Fist Wu!
"Thanks to Professor Guan, I'm still healthy. But I'll have to trouble Miracle Doctor Guan to give me acupuncture when you're free!" Gonggao said very politely.
