The next day, a room on the third floor of the Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing.

The afternoon auction is about to open in the banquet hall downstairs. I was called from my house by Mr. Peng. After entering the house, I sat in the corner without saying a word. In addition to Mr. Peng, there were five or six people I didn’t know. On the sofa opposite was a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed very well. I heard everyone call him the chairman, who should be the boss of Hanhai Auction. Next to him, a young boy who was a few years older than me was standing respectfully. The remaining two seemed to be Hanhai’s manager and deputy manager.

"I just went to the UK for a week and you caused such a big disaster for me!" The chairman of Hanhai, who is very famous in the cultural relics circle, slapped the table and stared at the young boy in anger: "You are in charge of the porcelain shooting this time, right? I have told you how many times before leaving, be stable! Be stable! Why are you still the irritable temperament! If this continues, how can you hand over the company to you?"

The boy lowered his head: "Dad, I was careless."

The chairman snorted coldly: "You are not careless. You want to make contributions in front of me too much. If not, why hasn't anyone ever reported the publicity of Yuan blue and white porcelain to me? Humph, when can you become more steady? Tell me, our Hanhai Auction has been operating for so many years, and has there been a record of promoting things that you haven't obtained in advance? Is there any? There is no sign of the things, so you hurriedly opened them. As a result, my phone number has never stopped since I got off the plane. Why did you tell me to explain to those old customers? Many people flew back from Hong Kong, the United States. Do you want me to tell them to go back now, and there is no more things?"

The boy was speechless: "I..."

"And you." The chairman looked at the two managers with a cold look: "You two are old men in the industry. He doesn't know the rules, don't you? Just because he is my son, you let him do whatever he wants and ruin Hanhai's sign?"

The two managers lowered their eyes and said nothing.

Mr. Peng spoke at this time: "Chairman, the responsibility this time lies mainly with me."

The chairman waved his hand and interrupted him, and glanced at his son: "I know who is responsible. If it weren't for my son's desire to be greedy for merit, he wouldn't have trouble at all." Didi, this was the third time that his phone rang after entering the house. The chairman sighed and forced his smile to press the answer button: "...Boss Xu, haha, how is the business recently...what? Are you in the auction hall... Yuan Blue and White? I'm really embarrassed, there's something wrong here...I really don't have this intention. I will give you an explanation after the auction."

After hanging up the phone, the chairman said, "I offended another one. Alas, Boss Xu didn't even have his son's birthday, so he flew to Beijing. You said, "Ah, now, the whole collection industry is focused on us. Everyone should think about how to explain to the guests and reporters after the auction is over in the evening!"

"The reporter is here too?"

"It would be strange if you don't come!" The chairman said with regret: "There are already chaos outside, and many colleagues are waiting to see jokes!"

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but before entering the hotel, I also felt the atmosphere of the storm coming and winds filled the building.

"...Are you the owner of Yuan Blue and White?" The chairman suddenly looked at me in the corner without hesitation.

"Yes." I organized the language and said, "I apologize for the trouble that has been brought to your company this time. I really didn't expect that the bottom of the film suddenly disappeared in the end. Well, I will pay the 500,000 penalty for liquidated damages on the contract, but I need time to prepare. Can I ask you to give me a few months?" It was irreversible, and it would be useless to regret it anymore. What I am thinking about now is how to pay off the 500,000 yuan. undoubtedly, it takes time.

The chairman said lukewarmly: "I'll ask you, who are you employed?"

I wondered, "What did you say?"

"I have offended many people in the auction house over the years. They should also know that this porcelain auction was led by my son. It is not surprising that it makes some shameful little moves."

I suddenly realized that he thought I had designed a trap in advance and was trapping Hanhai. "It's really an accident that I can't find it."

"Then I'm guessing it's all wrong. I won't say much. If you call your parents here, I will talk to them about the liquidated damages."

I said, "I signed the contract with you. What should I do with my parents?"

The chairman clapped his hands: "Okay, the auction is about to begin, everyone will take care of you." Before leaving the door, the chairman glanced at me: "Before tonight, I hope to see your parents, otherwise the court summons will be delivered to your house soon." It can be seen that he was still suspicious of my purpose.

When I went downstairs, I passed by the auction banquet hall. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard everyone talking.

"I heard that Yuan blue and white porcelain is nothing."

"No, Hanhai's reputation has always been good."

"Well, otherwise why didn't the preview show appear on that day? Alas, this time it was a waste of time. The air ticket money is a trivial matter, but I have to give me an explanation for the two days I have been delayed?"

"So too, I came here just for Yuan Blue and White, but now..."

Walking out of the Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing, I looked up at the sky, dazed and dazed.

Originally, I was mentally prepared, whether it was 500,000 or 1 million, I would have to bear it alone, but I really didn't want to involve my parents, and I didn't want them to know that I owed a huge penalty for liquidated damages. In that case, I don't know what face I have to see them in the future. Moreover, Chairman Hanhai's meaning seemed to reveal his intention to go to the court. Perhaps only when the controversy is caused can we put the blame on me and maintain their reputation in the world?

When she returned to Siheyuan, she saw her mother selecting celery in the yard, and she didn't raise her head and said, "Wash your hands and prepare for supper."

"Mom, I, I, I'm causing trouble outside." I can't hide it anymore. Sooner or later, they will know, "I have to pay some money."

"What money is it to pay? How much?" My mother pulled off the celery leaves, and her face suddenly changed: "How many hundred? How many thousand?"

"Oh, no."

My dad also walked out of the house after hearing this: "What's wrong?"

My mother's wrists were a little trembling: "Don't tell me how many thousands of dollars it is?"

I opened my lips and was about to speak when my phone shook. I picked it up and saw that it was Yan Wanru's number I deposited when I finished charging in the morning, "...hello?"

"Gu Jing, it's me, where are you?"

"at home."

"Oh, I didn't want to tell you, but... forget it, well, you come to Liulichang."

"Liulichang? What do you mean?"

"The Yuan blue and white jar you told me last night that had been dropped may be back."
