"Yes, Elder Meng will also be present in person, so your auction house's security measures must be in place."
"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to mention them to me, and I will do my best to help."
On the other end of the phone, Secretary Luo's voice was filled with seriousness.
What was Elder Meng's status? His safety absolutely could not have any oversight!
"Okay, okay, Secretary Luo, please rest assured. Our auction house will definitely hire the best security team to be responsible."
Hearing Secretary Luo's repeated instructions, Qiu Hanying quickly nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the items auctioned at the auction were originally very valuable, so their security measures wouldn't be poor.
It was just that now, even the dignified Elder Meng himself had to personally attend the auction, which made things truly significant!
With this thought, Qiu Hanying turned around and looked at the secretary beside her, "Immediately contact the security company and triple the security force that was previously arranged."
At this moment, Qiu Hanying's face was determined as she instructed her secretary.
The fact that so many influential figures had called in advance was enough to prove that the scale of this auction might exceed any she had hosted before.
It was precisely because of this that the security of this auction absolutely could not have any accidents.
If any accident were to occur during this auction, it would be extremely difficult for the Rushing Group to continue developing in Hangcheng!
Over the next half-day, Qiu Hanying also received several phone calls, all from the owners of listed companies in Hangcheng.
And the content of their calls was, without exception, that they wanted to personally attend the auction!
After work in the evening, Qiu Hanying couldn't help but feel curious and called Lin Chen, wanting to ask what was going on today.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is out of service."
However, the busy tone from the phone made Qiu Hanying frown slightly.
What era was it now that phones could still be out of service?
Had Lin Chen gone to Africa to mine or to Antarctica to feed penguins?
By noon the next day, Lin Chen's phone still couldn't be reached, which made Qiu Hanying feel a hint of panic.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day, just as the auction was about to begin, that Lin Chen's phone finally connected.
"Hello, Lin Chen, where have you been these past few days? Why has your phone always been out of service!"
As soon as Lin Chen's call was connected, Qiu Hanying eagerly asked him.
These past few days had truly made her anxious!
For three whole days, every time the phone rang, it was a call from a prominent figure.
"Uh, I've been busy with some things lately. How are things with the auction? Is it going smoothly?"
Lin Chen quickly chuckled and gave a perfunctory answer.
These past few days, he had been in seclusion in the Nine Dragon Ring, refining pills. Although he didn't have the medicinal herbs for high-level pills, he could still refine low-level pills like the Beauty Pill.
These things had negligible effects on cultivators, but they were excellent for making money now!
"It's going so smoothly that I'm a little scared. What did you do? You managed to get almost all the family heads in Hangcheng to personally attend the auction?"
At this moment, Qiu Hanying quickly asked the question she most wanted to know.
She had hosted many auctions before, but it was already good if one or two family heads attended. But now, nearly a dozen family heads had all come in person!
And without exception, they were almost all here for the Beauty Pills refined by Lin Chen, which was simply incredible!
"Heh heh heh, it's just that my friends are giving me face. You should handle the auction well. I still have some matters to attend to."
"I will personally come over at noon."
Hearing Qiu Hanying's surprised tone on the phone, Lin Chen chuckled softly and didn't say much.
He had already proven his abilities to those people by resolving the蛊 poison from the Ghost God Sect.
And the Beauty Pill was indeed refined by him personally, and its functions were not misrepresented in any way. How could these family heads not be tempted?
"Okay, Lin Chen, thank you so much for this auction!"
Qiu Hanying calmed her emotions and sincerely thanked Lin Chen.
She knew that without Lin Chen, her Rushing Group might have truly been finished this time!
At the same time, at the headquarters of Tiancheng Group in Hangcheng, Qiu Tianhong sat in the general manager's office with his son, Qiu Mingfei.
"How is it, have you learned it now? We've taken over the auction house from Qiu Hanying without firing a shot. Our auction this time will definitely be a success!"
At this moment, Qiu Tianhong was full of pride as he boasted to his son.
No one expected that Tiancheng Group, which had been competing with Rushing Group before, was actually his!
"But Father, how will we explain this to Grandpa?"
Hearing Qiu Tianhong's words, Qiu Mingfei looked worried and asked him.
Now they had indeed taken over Rushing Group's auction house and even took Qiu Hanying's villa, but sooner or later, they would meet again!
Moreover, Grandpa was present at the time, and they had now deceived the entire Qiu family. Would Grandpa easily let them go if he found out?
"Hmph, you fool, do you think your grandfather can't see that Tiancheng Group is mine?"
"What he wants is the prosperity of the Qiu family. No matter what, Qiu Hanying is an outsider, and she will eventually marry out."
"So we must make full preparations to reclaim our Qiu family's assets before she gets married."
"Grandpa understands this, which is why he is turning a blind eye!"
Qiu Tianhong looked very pleased. If Grandpa hadn't been pushing behind the scenes, how could he have managed this so smoothly?
"Mr. Qiu, you're finally here!"
However, just as Qiu Tianhong was full of pride, a man wearing a deputy manager badge rushed into Qiu Tianhong's office, his expression filled with anxiety.
"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry!"
Seeing the deputy manager in such a frantic state, Qiu Tianhong instinctively frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in his expression.
"Mr. Qiu, this is bad! All our suppliers have canceled their cooperation with our company. We only have two auction items left for this afternoon's auction!"
