After returning to Earth, Tan Xiu's character had undergone a subtle change. His once pure and desireless character was no longer there. Instead, he was more like a human, with flesh and blood. The changes in his seven emotions and six desires affected him all the time.
At this moment …
Tan Xiu looked at his unconscious disciple in his arms. Even though he had prepared himself, he still felt a deep sorrow inside. Therefore, his hatred toward Shade Demon Zhu Wushou was even more intense.
Tan Xiu gently hugged Gu Yan 'er and let her lie on the sickbed. She was still frowning even though she was unconscious, as if she was suffering from pain and torture. Tan Xiu couldn't help but whisper, "Yan' er, Master will definitely cure you. I'll make Shade Demon Zhu Wushou live for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, millions of years."
On the cold seventh floor of the exquisite pagoda, Tan Xiu sat cross-legged beside Gu Yan 'er and quietly watched Gu Yan' er's beautiful face for a long time.
Finally.
When the sun rose and set, a new day came. He floated up and resolutely left the seventh floor. When he came to the first floor of the exquisite pagoda, he saw Ji Chimei sitting cross-legged on the futon in the center, silently cultivating. The Immortal Essence fluctuation coming from her body was very strong.
"Lord."
Ji Chimei sensed that Tan Xiu had come down. A sorrowful look flashed in her eyes as she respectfully got up and greeted.
Tan Xiu's expression was very cold as he lightly nodded and said, "Ji Chimei, I'll leave Yan 'er to you. Your most important task is to protect her safety. When she wakes up next time, I'll teach her the top cultivation technique in the Immortal World, as well as a kind of combat technique. "
"Understood!"
Ji Chimei respectfully replied.
After leaving the exquisite pagoda, Tan Xiu didn't have the mood to stay in the Everlasting Feast Hall. He asked someone to drive him to the airport and then took a plane to Shanghai.
It was already noon when he arrived at Shanghai. Since the Buried Diamond was on his mind, Tan Xiu took a taxi to the Glory Auction House.
It was a magnificent building with thirty to forty floors. When Tan Xiu returned, he used his phone to look up information about the Glory Auction House. He discovered that other than the general manager of the Glory Auction House called Hou Qingmin, there was no way to find out who the big boss behind the scenes was.
"Hello, sir. You need to show your work pass to enter. If you are not a staff member of our auction house, please enter from the next passage. There is a registration counter over there. "Just like the credit card machine in a subway station, all six entrances were sealed. On the side, a woman in a blue suit with a work pass on her hand said.
Tan Xiu glanced at her and followed her instructions to enter the passage next door.
"Hello, sir. May I know what brings you to our Glory Auction House?" Two female staff members were sitting in front of the registration desk. One of them asked with a professional smile.
Tan Xiu said, "I want to see Hou Qingmin."
"What?"
The two female staff members stared blankly as a strange look appeared in their eyes.
Tan Xiu repeated, "I want to see Hou Qingmin. I'll have to trouble you to help me inform him."
One of the staff members forced a smile and said, "Hello, sir. If you want to see our general manager, you need to make an appointment in advance. Also, you only need to register with us and then go inside to find the lobby manager. As for whether he can help you or not, we don't know. "
"Registration!"
Tan Xiu took the registration book, wrote his name and contact information on it, and then strode into the lobby on the first floor. Inside the lobby, there was a row of tables and chairs, where a middle-aged man and a woman were sitting.
"Excuse me, who is the lobby manager?"
Tan Xiu glanced at them and asked aloud.
The middle-aged woman stood up, nodded and said with a smile, "I am. May I ask who you are?"
"My surname is Tang, Tan Xiu," said Tan Xiu. "I came to your Glory Auction House this time to see your general manager, Hou Qingmin. If it's convenient, I'll have to trouble you to inform him."
The lobby manager forced a smile and said, "Mr. Tang, our general manager can't see any guests for the time being. Can you leave your contact information and identification? I'll submit your information after our general manager is done with his work. "
"So troublesome?" Tan Xiu frowned and said.
"This is the rule of our Glory Auction House, Mr. Tang," said the lobby manager.
Rules?
For a moment, Tan Xiu was silent. Then, he dialed Chi Nan's cell number and said, "Help me find the contact information of Glory Auction House's general manager, Hou Qingmin. The sooner the better."
"I have it, Boss!"
Chi Nan's voice came out of the phone.
A trace of surprise was revealed on Tan Xiu's face as he asked, "Do you know Hou Qingmin?"
"We have a bit of friendship." Chi Nan said with a smile, "He once tried to break the Thousand Revolution Array of our Everlasting Feast Hall's Jingmen Island Headquarters. Unfortunately, he failed. Later on, he came to our Everlasting Feast Hall's branch in Shanghai many times, so I know him and also have his personal contact information. "
"That's great. Come to the Glory Auction House now. I'll be waiting for you here," said Tan Xiu.
"Understood!"
Chi Nan replied and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Behind the long table, the lobby manager looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression. Although she didn't know who Tan Xiu called, but from the content of their conversation, she knew that he should be able to contact the general manager, Hou Qingmin.
"Mr. Tang, may I ask what your occupation is?" The lobby manager pondered for a moment and then asked in a soft voice.
"I'm a student," said Tan Xiu.
A student?
The lobby manager secretly forced a smile inwardly.
Tan Xiu pointed to the chair at the side and lightly asked, "Can I sit here and wait for my friend?"
"Please have a seat." The lobby manager nodded and smiled.
Tan Xiu sat down and quietly waited. To kill time, he took out a book on economics from his travel bag and silently read it.
More than 20 minutes later.
"'Principles of Economics'? Not bad, young man. You're reading this kind of book at such a young age. I see that you're reading the English version. Can you understand it? "A voice sounded beside Tan Xiu, awakening Tan Xiu who was immersed in the content.
Tan Xiu raised his head and looked at the tall and cool-looking middle-aged man. He immediately lowered his head and looked at the content of the book, lightly saying, "It's okay!"
Upon seeing Tan Xiu's expression, the middle-aged man immediately grinned and said, "'Principles of Economics' is a book published by Mechanical Industry Press in 2003. The author is N. Gregory Mankiw. This book is a relatively basic economic teaching material. At present, it's more commonly used by Mankiw, Soros, Fanlian, and the others. As a matter of fact, many of our Chinese businessmen read 'Western Economics' which is suitable for our country's situation. The content is generally similar. "
Tan Xiu put down the book in his hand again and looked up at the middle-aged man, saying, "Are you showing off your education level? If so, I want to ask you a question. "
The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing and said, "Young man, don't be angry. Tell me, what question do you want to ask? If it's about economics, I should be able to answer one or two questions. But if it's about business, I know more about it. "
"Then answer me. Which company will be a dark horse in the domestic business circle in the next few years?" Tan Xiu lightly said.
"This …"
The middle-aged man was somewhat speechless.
Although he had been in the business circle for decades and now had huge assets and owned many types of companies, he really couldn't tell which company would be a dark horse in the business circle in the next few years.
Tan Xiu quietly waited for more than ten seconds and found that he couldn't answer. Then, he lightly said, "Since you can't even answer my question, then don't disturb my reading. You don't look like an ordinary person either. Don't you know that it's very impolite to disturb others without even introducing yourself? "
The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm impolite. I'm Yang Zhenpan, a businessman. I have some shares in this Glory Auction House. May I ask how to address you, Little Brother? "
"Tan Xiu!"
Tan Xiu's expression moved. He stood up and asked, "You have shares in this Glory Auction House? Can you do me a favor? "
Yang Zhenpan slightly furrowed his brows, but soon relaxed again. He carefully observed Tan Xiu a few times and then said, "It's not a problem for me to help you. As long as it's within my ability, I can naturally help you. But before I help you, you have to answer a question of mine. "
"Say it!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
"I really can't answer the question you just asked me," said Yang Zhenpan with a smile. "It's because I really haven't found any powerful company in recent years, let alone a dark horse coming out of nowhere in the next few years. So, I want to hear your result. "
"It's the Magnificent Tang Corporation," said Tan Xiu calmly.
Yang Zhenpan stared blankly and hesitantly said, "The name of this company sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while. Can you tell me about the situation of this Magnificent Tang Corporation? "
"I don't think you need to ask me. You just need to send someone to investigate it," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
Yang Zhenpan furrowed his brows again. He pondered for a moment and then took out his mobile phone and dialed a cell number. After his call was picked up, he said, "Help me investigate the situation of the Magnificent Tang Corporation. I want to know the result within three minutes."
"Understood!"
Yang Zhenpan hung up the phone and directly sat on a chair at the side. He then said with a smile, "Wait for me for three minutes, Little Brother. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Tan Xiu nodded and then sat down.
The lobby manager and the middle-aged man behind the long table were at a loss whether they had to cry or laugh at this time. They looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression.
They were really speechless because the person Tan Xiu was looking for was the General Manager of the Glory Auction House, Hou Qingmin. And the person sitting next to him was the Big Boss of the Glory Auction House, as well as Hou Qingmin's immediate superior. However, the Big Boss had just hinted to them not to talk too much, so they could only sit at the long table, feeling both amused and angry at the same time and busy themselves with their own matters.
