Chapter 408: Chapter 408: The Small Stall

The auction continued as scheduled the next day, and thanks to Song Jianjun’s promotion, a large crowd had already gathered around the venue early in the morning.

Hosting such a large-scale auction was a rare opportunity, and Song Jianjun was seizing this chance to enhance his own fame. Some traders also took advantage of the business opportunity, setting up stalls around the venue.

Since so many people had come, not all of them were connoisseurs, and swindling one was swindling another.

But Liu Dazhuang had set up the auction stage the night before already.

Observing the extraordinarily bustling scene, Song Jianjun could not help but smile from ear to ear, confident that he would be able to successfully conclude this auction.

He was sure to receive a grant from above, and by then, he would pocket a decent profit.

Moreover, the Chinese herbal medicine auction had great prospects for development in the country. If this event went off without a hitch, future large-scale auctions could possibly be hosted in Zao City again.

However, when he caught a glimpse of the temporary auction stage set up by Liu Dazhuang across from him, he looked on with disdain and walked over with an air of complacency.

"Hey, I’m saying Liu Dazhuang, just give it up, stop embarrassing yourself here. Who would covet the junk you have?"

Song Jianjun frequently came to trouble Liu Dazhuang when he was in a bad mood, and when in a good mood, he was even more inclined to ridicule him.

Now, seeing Liu Dazhuang setting up a smaller auction area across from his own, and with a smaller stage, Song Jianjun started mocking him endlessly.

"Whether anyone covets them or not, we’ll see once the auction starts!"

Liu Dazhuang was no fool and had no interest in getting into a pointless war of words with Song Jianjun. He just carried on with his work, completely ignoring Song Jianjun.

Song Jianjun poked around and scrutinized the area, his face full of contempt.

If it weren’t for the important auction he had to oversee on his side, where he needed to maintain a good image, he would definitely have led some people over to smash up Liu Dazhuang’s setup.

"Liu Brother, how are your preparations going?"

As Song Jianjun was picking a fight, Wang Hao arrived, patting Liu Dazhuang on the shoulder as he reached him.

Xia Xue also came along, trailing behind Wang Hao, and couldn’t help but frown when she saw Song Jianjun.

"Oh, isn’t this Wang Hao?"

Upon seeing Wang Hao, a flash of disdain crossed Song Jianjun’s face, and he hurried over to sneer.

"That’s right. Our Chinese herbal medicine auction is a high-class venue, a place for people with status or talent, definitely not suitable for someone like you Wang Hao."

"I think this little stall suits you just fine. People should be aware of their own worth. It seems like you’ve finally found your place, Wang Hao, congratulations!"

As he spoke, Song Jianjun continued to muse to himself.

Once the auction on his side was over, he was determined to bring Cheng Yin over to watch, so they could properly humiliate Wang Hao together.

With Cheng Yin’s strong backing, he, of course, had to find a way to cozy up to him.

As for people like Wang Hao, they were just a stepping stone for courting Cheng Yin.

"I also think this little stall is much better than your auction; even if you invited me later, I wouldn’t go."

Facing Song Jianjun’s provocation, Wang Hao wasn’t angry but rather looked forward to the show that was about to unfold.

"Invite you over? What a joke, do you actually think of yourself as some big shot? I think you’re only fit to run a street stall for the rest of your life!"

Seeing Wang Hao acting nonchalant, Song Jianjun became even more enraged.

"Is that so? Then you better stick to your word, don’t come begging to me later!"

Wang Hao continued to needle Song Jianjun with his words.

"Okay, if I come over and ask, I’ll call you grandpa!"

Song Jianjun was somewhat frantic and grinding his teeth as he spoke.

Just then, a car pulled up outside the venue, and a person got out, the mayor who had been invited to boost morale at Cheng Yin’s new company’s launch last time.

Coming along with the mayor was actually Cheng Yin as well, which seemed to indicate that Cheng Yin’s backing was indeed very strong.

Seeing that it was the mayor and Cheng Yin, Song Jianjun hurriedly scampered back to ingratiate himself.

"The mayor himself has come this time; it seems that Song Jianjun is set on securing this auction. What a pity, though, he has run into an opponent like you."

Liu Dazhuang had already conducted a secret investigation on Wang Hao and was immensely impressed by some of the great things Wang Hao had done.

"No one to blame but themselves for this!"

Wang Hao said, looking at the mayor and Cheng Yin.

After inviting the mayor into the venue, Song Jianjun pulled Cheng Yin aside and pointed towards Wang Hao and Liu Dazhuang.

"Isn’t Wang Hao that kid funny? He’s been cornered by us and has no more tricks up his sleeve, selling his collection of traditional Chinese medicines on a stall across the way!"

Following the direction of Song Jianjun’s hand, Cheng Yin saw Wang Hao and Liu Dazhuang busy with the auction and couldn’t help but sneer.

He thought, as long as he didn’t let Wang Hao enter his side of the venue, there was no way Wang Hao could achieve anything in Zao City. After all, it would be a piece of cake to deal with him in the future.

But just driving Wang Hao to a street stall wasn’t satisfying enough for Cheng Yin.

"Even if it’s just a stall, we can’t let them succeed. Go find some people right away, and as soon as they have it set up, go and sabotage it for me."

"Alright, no problem. You can count on me. I’ll make the arrangements right away and ensure your satisfaction. I’ll make sure Wang Hao won’t be able to get back up."

Having said that, Song Jianjun called over a security guard, entered the office, and also slipped some money into the guard’s hand, telling him to find some reliable people to cause trouble at Liu Dazhuang’s auction stand across the way.

"If push comes to shove, you guys just smash their stand!"

Song Jianjun added loudly at the end.

After the security guard left, Song Jianjun pulled Cheng Yin to the side and reported to him about the arrangements he made to have the security guard find people to cause trouble over there.

"This is a good idea. Rest assured, Song Jianjun, as long as you help me get rid of Wang Hao this time, I, Cheng Yin, promise never to treat you poorly in the future!"

Cheng Yin said, patting Song Jianjun’s shoulder with a face full of pride.

"President Cheng, speaking like that is too formal between us. We are all on the same side; there’s no need to talk about treating me well or not." freёwebnoѵel.com

Song Jianjun’s face was brimming with a cunning smirk at this moment, groveling before Cheng Yin like a fawning dog.

As the time neared for the auction to begin, the mayor looked around but did not see Tan Haipin, so he called over Song Jianjun.

"Wasn’t it said that Mr. Tan Haipin was going to come? The time is almost upon us, yet I haven’t seen him. What’s going on?"

The mayor asked, frowning.

"This..."

At this moment, Song Jianjun also did not know how to respond. He stood on the host’s platform and surveyed the area, but still did not see Mr. Tan Haipin, so with a quick roll of his eyes, he said.

"I guess Mr. Tan Haipin, being of advanced age, isn’t as mobile as before. He might be on the way now, I’ll arrange for someone to go to the entrance to welcome him!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The mayor nodded, but his face still showed some doubt.
