"A guest?" Xiao Chen opened the door doubtfully.
He didn't know anyone in this Northern Chill City. Why would a guest come to visit?
"You are …" Looking at the strange middle-aged man standing at the door, Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"Greetings, Young Master. I am Fang Kai, a steward of the Kanshui Auction House. Please forgive me for disturbing you." The man bowed and introduced himself.
"Kanshui Auction House?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
The Kanshui Auction House was the same as the Saint Welcoming House in the city. It didn't belong to the Qi Family or the Huashi Family.
Like the Saint Welcoming House, the Kanshui Auction House was backed by a powerful force. It had branches in several large areas.
However, he had never had any contact with the people of this auction house, so he didn't know this person.
"Steward Fang, what brings you here?" Xiao Chen asked straightforwardly.
Although this person was also an Immortal Emperor expert, he didn't have the slightest fear when facing an Immortal Emperor expert.
He also put himself on the same level as him, or even talked to him at a higher level.
This was also what Wuchen Zi had told him before. Since he had to pretend to be someone with a powerful background, he naturally couldn't show his weak side.
"Please forgive me, Young Master. Today, Young Master has bought materials from the major trading markets in Northern Chill City. Most of the materials are common cultivation materials. Therefore, I took the liberty to come here and ask if Young Master needs some more resources. If you do, I can provide a large amount of them to Young Master. Moreover, the price will be more favorable!" Fang Kai bowed again.
Then, as if he was afraid that Xiao Chen would misunderstand something, he immediately explained, "Of course, Young Master, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to follow Young Master's movements. I just heard that Young Master was buying these things today, so I took the liberty to come here."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen smiled faintly and didn't care much.
Whether Fang Kai explained or not, he didn't have any intention of delving into this issue.
Of course, he also knew that he had bought a lot of materials from all the big trading markets today. And, just as Wuchen Zi had said, he had been very generous. And, no matter what materials he had bought, he had used Black Mysterious Crystals!
Even if he only bought some ordinary cultivation materials, he still used the Black Mysterious Crystal. It would be strange if such extravagance did not attract the attention of the major forces in a place like the Northern Cold City.
However, he was still a little surprised. Although he had expected it to attract attention, he did not expect Fang Kai to come to him so directly to make a deal.
Xiao Chen did not reply immediately when he heard Fang Kai's words. Instead, he pondered for a moment and speculated about the various possibilities in his mind before he smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Kanshui Auction House is a rather large chain of auction houses. They've never had to worry about business coming to them. It's truly surprising that Manager Fang has come personally."
With such a huge auction house, it was impossible for them to take the initiative to solicit business.
Furthermore, Fang Kai was a manager, so it was even more unlikely for him to look for customers personally.
However, Fang Kai seemed to be prepared for this. He immediately replied, "To be honest, although the Kanshui Auction House is indeed very large, the internal competition is also extremely fierce. Moreover, to be honest, the Northern Cold City's auction branch will have its rating assessment soon. I want to work hard and improve further, so I need a better performance.
However, almost all the major customers in the Northern Cold City have managers who are on good terms with them. I can't rely on my current customers to stabilize my performance, so I can't easily miss any potential customers. That's why I took the liberty to come and disturb you. Again, please forgive me! "
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was surprised by Fang Kai's words again.
The bigger the force, the fiercer the competition. He knew this very well. However, a place like an auction house should not be so fierce, right?
This was the first time he had seen an auction house manager personally looking for business.
This situation was really rare.
Besides, if it was really so fierce, then Fang Kai shouldn't be the only one who would come, right?
To be honest, to a certain extent, it was a bit embarrassing for the Kanshui Auction House to have such a manager come personally.
Fang Kai smiled wryly when he saw Xiao Chen's expression. Then, he hesitated for a while and said again, "Young Master, I won't hide it from you. This assessment is very important to me. I was not born in the Beihan Region. After I was transferred here, I worked hard for many years to barely stand on my feet. However, I was ostracized. If I can't be promoted by one level in this assessment, I might not be able to keep the results of my years of work."
Then, he paused and said, "It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter if I lose my current position or am transferred away. I have to start all over again. My little girl won't be able to continue her treatment. That's why I took the liberty to come and disturb you. Please forgive me, young master."
"Oh …" Xiao Chen nodded slightly and didn't ask for specific details. Since Fang Kai could go to this step to personally solicit business, he could see that he was indeed trying his best.
"Actually, I have visited many people during this period of time. I can't miss any opportunity." Fang Kai said again.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Xiao Chen said lightly.
Fang Kai immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Young Master has misunderstood. I'm here to see if Young Master needs any resources. If Young Master doesn't need them, then I won't bother you any longer. If Young Master does need them, you can consider buying them from me. I will also do my best to obtain better resources and lower prices for Young Master. As long as Young Master trades with me through the auction house, it will be of great help to me!"
"Oh …" Xiao Chen thought for a while and then said, "You have a way to help me get a lot of cultivation resources?"
Although he had bought things for the whole day, there were still some things that he hadn't bought.
There were some special things that he didn't buy.
Moreover, this time, Xiao Chen didn't just prepare for himself. He also wanted to bring some things for Da Huang, Wen Xiu, Mo Qing, and the others, as well as Su Qingyi and other family and friends.
The resources needed were massive. The trading houses in Northern Chill City couldn't meet his needs.
Because the stock was not very sufficient, some special items needed to be transferred from other places, and it would take some time. If this Fang Kai could help him get what he needed in a short period of time, it was not impossible to consider cooperating with him.
