Chapter 140 This is a different price
Qu Shu sent word that loading was complete.
They had joined the excitement.
They had bought the goods.
Ling Yue couldn't wait to experience the joy of stone cutting.
She pulled everyone toward the exit.
Who would have thought that before they even left the factory area, they would be intercepted by three people.
"You are the member with the tail number 1132, right?" the man standing in the middle of the three asked.
He was wearing a casual polo shirt. He looked thin, but his deltoids and biceps were bulging, suggesting he had been working out for years.
He wore a spicy green peace pendant around his neck. The color was quite pure, but compared to some of the materials in Ling Yue's warehouse, it was nothing special.
His scrutinizing gaze swept over Ling Yue first, then landed on Yu Shuo.
Before Ling Yue could answer, he added, "Oh, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Yu family! Are you two together?"
Yu Shuo frowned.
"What does that have to do with you? Move aside!"
The man stepped forward, still rolling a string of beads in his hand.
Without any intention of moving aside, he said, "I'm not here for you; I'm here for this member 1132 next to you."
Ling Yue had just gone to the settlement center to pay the fees herself.
If the man had bothered to check carefully, it wouldn't have been hard to find out that she was the member who had won the bids for both the large and small King of Stones.
"Hello, Miss. My name is Yang Huatian, and I am the purchasing manager of the Longcui Group.
It's like this: we also participated in the bidding for this year's King of Stones, but our bid wasn't as high as yours, and we missed out on it.
I apologize for blocking your way, but I wanted to ask if you would be willing to sell the King of Stones?"
The man was dressed formally, but his eyes were frivolous and his tone was condescending.
Facing this pretentious man, Ling Yue chose to ignore him.
"Not for sale." With that said, she prepared to walk around him.
Unexpectedly, the two burly men beside him stepped forward to block Ling Yue's path.
What the hell are they being so arrogant for?
Ling Yue gave a look.
Zang Lanyi shot out like an arrow!
In the blink of an eye.
"Bang!"
What was that that hit the ground?
Oh, it turned out that one of the burly men had been thrown to the ground.
Seeing this, the other burly man tried to move, but Xiao Liu and Xiao Ma swarmed him from both sides, quickly subduing him and pinning him to the ground.
Xiao Zhong stood by Ling Yue's side, his usual playful and annoying demeanor gone, his hawk-like eyes fixed intently on the pretentious man.
The change happened too fast.
Yang Huatian had just reacted, but there was no one left by his side.
His brow twitched, and he swallowed hard.
Ling Yue took the initiative, "You've got a lot of nerve, causing trouble on the grounds of the Pingxi Public Auction. Are you a relative of the organizers?"
There were already many people entering and exiting near the entrance.
The commotion was quite loud, and soon a crowd gathered around them.
Yang Huatian's expression changed abruptly, and he slowly clenched his fists.
The Group was indeed a VIP client of the public auction, but there were too many onlookers, and making a scene wouldn't be good for anyone.
Furthermore, the Group was already in a crisis, and they couldn't afford any more negative news.
[resentment value: 8%]
Yang Huatian closed his eyes, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He laughed awkwardly and explained, "No, no, you've misunderstood! I really am sincere about wanting to buy the King of Stones you have.
I absolutely have no intention of causing trouble."
Ling Yue waved her hand.
The bodyguards immediately let go and returned in an orderly fashion to Ling Yue's side and behind her, forming a semi-circle and keeping her firmly locked within a protective ring.
Such a strong sense of security.
The expensive bodyguard fees were worth every penny at this moment.
Ling Yue raised an eyebrow, "Sir, I don't believe I know you.
When I didn't want to talk to you, your bodyguards acted fierce and menacing, as if they wanted to eat me alive.
If I didn't have bodyguards too, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave this door today."
Although Ling Yue felt this pretentious man probably didn't have the guts, there were many people around now, so she had to make things sound serious.
"I'm really sorry, my bodyguards are all quite stupid; it's my fault for not teaching them well." Yang Huatian apologized with a smile.
He turned and reprimanded the bodyguards.
The two bodyguards retreated behind him, expressionless.
Ling Yue nodded, "I accept your apology."
With that, she led her people past him.
Yang Huatian quickly jogged a few steps to catch up, "Miss, please wait, I really am sincere about wanting to talk to you."
Ling Yue was afraid that associating with someone who harbored resentment toward her would lead to being scammed.
"I'm not selling. Please move aside," Ling Yue said with an expressionless, firm tone.
[resentment value: 10%]
Yang Huatian suppressed his temper repeatedly, "Fine, then I won't disturb you today.
This is my business card. It's okay if you don't want to sell the King of Stones, but if you have other good materials you want to offload, be sure to contact me. The price is negotiable, and I guarantee I'm full of sincerity."
Ling Yue glanced at the jumping resentment value in the bottom right corner.
Looking up at Yang Huatian again, she only felt that his smiling face was extremely hypocritical.
Yang Huatian watched Ling Yue walk away.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he spat fiercely on the ground.
Just a Huang Family; back in the day, they wouldn't even be fit to polish the shoes of their Longcui Group.
"Go find out who she is."
The two bodyguards were stunned.
Receiving no response for a long time, Yang Huatian turned back and glared at the two of them:
"I told you to find out her identity! What are you standing there for?"
Bodyguard A: "Check who?"
"Who do you think!" Yang Huatian was about to be pissed to death; what idiots with no situational awareness!
They had followed him for a full half-year, and they had no combat skills, no situational awareness!
They couldn't even beat a female bodyguard; they had just embarrassed him today.
"Of course, that woman who won the King of Stones!"
Bodyguard B: "That's extra."
They were paid for one job, yet he wanted them to do two? Was he dreaming?
Yang Huatian's face turned from blue to white.
No.
Could he return the goods?
