Chapter 129 I Want to Sell Them Back to You
They gave money, got what they purchased
with identification certificates issued by Wuji Group.
Because what they were taking home were goods that had been passed several times before,
Ye Chen and Zhang Jingshan were hospitably treated by the staff.
After all, if they hadn't been picked up by these two rich men, no one would know how long they would remain unsold.
All things considered, Ye Chen and Zhang Jingshan naturally became the God of Wealth from their perspectives.
After they left the Four Seasons Hotel,
"Brother Ye, did you notice those staff members sucking up to us just now? Weird, isn't it? Did they see us as fools? I mean these three objects are worth merely around one million yuan. They don't have treat us like that. I was so embarrassed that I literally got goosebumps. To be frank, if it weren't for the fact that it is Wuji Group we are having this deal with , I really feel like I've been tricked!"
Zhang Jingshan complained, depressed.
When he thought of the square-shaped wooden carving in his hand that looks like a normal box,
he couldn't help getting anxious and worried.
It was not about whether he bought something expensive. He had enough money for that.
The point was that if the old man knew that he squandered more than 900,000 yuan on such a piece of wood, he might lose one of his legs.
"They haven't been able to sell it several times. Let's face it, without us, they might never see anyone bidding for it. Their intensely grateful attitudes are well-grounded since we cured their headache. You know, the corporate culture of Wuji Group must have gone wrong if they acted otherwise." Ye Chen laughed.
"Brother Ye, since you know that they are not desirable goods, why did we get them anyway? For decoration at home and appreciation?" Zhang Jingshan became even more puzzled.
"No, I have no good taste in antiques, and I have no time for appreciation!" Ye Chen laughed.
"Then why did you do that?"
Zhang Jingshan's eyes widened.
Then it suddenly clicked with him that these objects might worth much more than they thought.
"No matter how skilled a falconer is, he might be pecked by an eagle in the eye." Ye Chen said.
"Brother Ye, is it really a much more valuable than they gave them credit for?" Zhang Jingshan went excited.
"You'll see. Now, let's go!" Ye Chen shook his head.
"Brother Ye, where are we going?" Amid excitement, Zhang Jingshan started to breathe really quickly.
"Isn't the headquarters of Wuji Group in Jiangzhou? That's where we are heading!" Ye Chen answered.
"Ah? Wuji Group? Why?"
"Together with this thing in your hand, we're selling them altogether back to Wuji Group!"
While speaking, Ye Chen was already walking towards his Mercedes-Benz.
However, Zhang Jingshan became completely baffled.
What?
They just got them from the auction held by Wuji Group.
And a minute later they were reselling them back?
This...
After puzzling for a while,
and seeing the Mercedes-Benz was being started,
Zhang Jingshan hurried to his Porsche.
After half an hour,
at the magnificent entrance of the Wuji Group.
Ye Chen asked him, "Can you contact the senior management of Wuji Group? I need to talk to them."
"Uh, it's... I have seldom been in cooperation with the Wuji Group. But I will go to staff at the front desk with my name to see if it works. If not, I can pull some strings and get their contact information from others. But just so I know, Brother Ye, what are you trying to do here?" Zhang Jingshan couldn't figure out Ye Chen's intentions still.
"Don't be so chatty. You will find out later!" Ye Chen replied.
"Well, that's fine. Then I go try it at the front desk!"
Having said that, Zhang Jingshan strode in.
He went straight to the front desk.
"Hey there, gorgeous. Could you please help me contact your general manager? Just tell him that Zhang Jingshan from Yuntian Network Company wants to see him. And see if he's available."
"Sir, I'm sorry but this seems to go against..." The lady at the front desk frowned.
But before she could finish her refusal,
another staff member suddenly called out, "You? Are you Mr. Zhang from Yuntian Network Company?"
"Why? I don't seem like him?" Zhang Jingshan smiled gracefully.
Without second though, the staff member blurted out, "You do!"
Many women in the workplace had been gossiping about this eligible bachelor a lot privately.
What Zhang Jingshan didn't know was that he had already been a celebrity in the hearts of many working women.
He was the CEO of Yuntian Network who had recruited a large number of female anchors.
He was also the future boss of Yongan Construction Company.
Besides, he was the grandson of the old secretary with excellent reputation in Jiangzhou.
With all these appealing identities, it was almost impossible for him to stay unknown.
"Mr. Zhang, although this is not in line with the rules of our front desk administration, I'll take the liberty to contact the general manager's office for you now!" The front desk said quickly.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Jingshan smiled very gracefully like a gentleman, seeming to be a totally different guy when he cursed.
"You are welcome!"
The front desk immediately started to dial the number.
"Mr. He, Mr. Zhang Jingshan, the CEO of Yunshan Network Company, is here and he wants to meet you."
"OK, alright, got it."
"Yes, yes. It's clear, Mr. He."
The call ended in less than a minute.
The staff of front desk put down the phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. He told me that he has asked the secretary to pick you up now. Please wait a moment."
"Good, thanks!" Zhang Jingshan nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, there is a rest area over there, you could take a rest there. It won't be long!" The staff gestured to lead Zhang Jingshan to the area.
However, Zhang Jingshan waved his hand and rejected it. "Forget it, it's not necessary. Since it won't be long, I guess I can wait here!"
After talking,
He suddenly started to check the staff member.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you..."
Under Zhang Jingshan's scrutiny, the women from front desk blushed nervously before she knew it.
"It's just I can see the potential in you to be an anchor. Have you ever thought about changing your career to become an anchor? If you are interested, you can go to Yunshan Network and tell them that I introduced you." Zhang Jingshan chuckled.
"Ah, Mr. Zhang, are you serious?" She felt like she suddenly became the luckiest girl in the world, the staff exclaimed in disbelief.
"Sure, I am a serious man!"
Zhang Jingshan got busy demonstrating what a playboy was like,
seeming to completely forget that Ye Chen was still waiting by his side.
And his flirting,
Ye Chen couldn't care less.
Fortunately, the embarrassment of Ye Chen ended quite soon thanks to
the general manager's secretary, hurrying out of the elevator.
"Mr. Zhang, sorry to keep you waiting. Mr. He sent me to pick you up!"
Seeming to be no stranger to Zhang Jingshan's face,
the secretary at the front desk recognized him at a glance.
"It's alright, thank you!"
It was until then did Zhang Jingshan stop chatting with the lady at the front desk.
And then he took Ye Chen into the elevator behind the secretary.
In the meeting room.
when Ye Chen and Zhang Jingshan walked in,
He Zhijun, the general manager of Wuji Group immediately went over to welcome them.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, if you need to meet me, why don't you just get my cell phone number and call me? You don't need to go through all the trouble via the front desk to get to me. You know, although Wuji Group hardly worked together with Yunshan Network, this building we work in was originally built by your father's Yongan Construction Company. Besides, when the old secretary was in power, he strongly supported Wuji Group! Speaking of these, Zhang's family and Wuji Group really go way back."
General Manager He Zhijun clenched Zhang Jingshan's hand and laughed friendly.
Although for Wuji Group, Yunshan Network Company was never their big concern.
However, considering that the old secretary's connections and influence after retirement were still at work, even the big shots in Jiangzhou needed to be nice to Zhang Jingshan.
"You are very welcome." Zhang Jingshan smiled lightly.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, aren't you going to introduce us?"
After greetings, He Zhijun asked him about Ye Chen.
"This is my brother Ye. And basically we're here because he wanted to see you. I just came with him. That's all." Zhang Jingshan explained.
"Oh, is that so? Mr. Ye, nice to see you!"
Although it was a bit unexpected, He Zhijun immediately stretched out his hand towards Ye Chen.
"Mr. He, nice meeting you too." Ye Chen shook hands with him calmly with a friendly grin.
"Mr. Ye, may I know the reason you are here for me?"
Their hands separated,
and He Zhijun cut to the chase with a smile.
"Just a little thing. You see, we bought three items at your auction before, including a wood carving of the Qing Dynasty, a porcelain cup from the Kangxi period, and a copy of "Songyang Hanbai". And now I want to sell them back to you!" Ye Chen bluntly smiled.
The moment he finished his request,
He Zhijun's smiling face instantly sank.
