Qin Lao's words made Lin Hao pause.
At the same time, Han Chen and Song Ming were also stunned.
After all their speculation, it turned out the person they truly wanted to invite was Lin Hao.
"Senior Brother," Xiao Hei looked at Lin Hao, asking if he wanted to make a move.
Lin Hao waved his hand and then looked at Qin Lao, saying, "Let's go."
"Please."
Qin Lao gestured, leading the way.
Lin Hao, Xiao Hei, Han Chen, and Song Ming followed Qin Lao.
They left the auction hall, turned several corners, and after winding their way for several minutes.
Lin Hao, Xiao Hei, Han Chen, and Song Ming, following Qin Lao, finally stopped at an office door.
Qin Lao knocked on the door and then invited Lin Hao and the others in.
Lin Hao stepped in first.
As soon as he entered, Lin Hao was immediately stunned.
A vast floor-to-ceiling window offered a panoramic view of the scenery outside.
The office was also unimaginably large.
Lin Hao felt that this office must be at least seven to eight hundred square meters.
One side of the office, facing the window, was entirely made of highly transparent floor-to-ceiling glass.
The Huangpu River and the surrounding constructions were all in full view.
If it were nighttime, standing here, one could likely see half of Shanghai's nightscape.
Lin Hao looked at the office layout and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
Standing here, wouldn't one feel dizzy?
Lin Hao shook his head and then walked in.
He saw a tall woman standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the view.
The woman was wearing a qipao, and her back alone exuded an air of grace and nobility.
Beside the woman stood an old man with a white beard.
The old man was wearing a long robe, appearing ethereal and extraordinary.
Lin Hao looked at the two and asked somewhat confusedly, "Who among you two is the boss? Or is your boss not here yet?"
Lin Hao's direct question startled Han Chen and Song Ming.
But since Lin Hao had already spoken, they dared not say anything more, only hoping that the boss of Cang Pai Ge would not be angered.
Although they didn't know who the boss of Cang Pai Ge was.
While thinking this, Han Chen and Song Ming cautiously surveyed the office.
At the same time, the qipao-clad woman, who had been gazing out the window, spoke softly, "I am the boss. Please, have a seat."
As she spoke, the qipao-clad woman turned around.
Han Chen and Song Ming's breaths hitched, and they were instantly mesmerized.
They had seen many beautiful women before.
But they had never seen anyone as beautiful as the one before them.
Especially the languid aura she exuded was utterly captivating.
"You're the boss?" Lin Hao was also surprised, looking at the qipao-clad woman.
Lin Hao hadn't expected the boss of Cang Pai Ge to be a woman.
No, to be precise, she should be a young girl just over twenty.
Although she was dressed very maturely, in Lin Hao's eyes, her true age was clear.
After all, Lin Hao was a Diviner.
However, with the way the woman before him was dressed, Lin Hao could tell her age with a single glance, without needing his Diviner abilities.
"That's right, I am the boss," the qipao-clad woman said, looking at Lin Hao with a haughty air. "Do you know why I invited you here?"
"I don't like beating around the bush, and I don't like wasting time. If you have something to say, say it directly. If not, I'll be leaving now," Lin Hao said to her, unwilling to engage in pleasantries.
However, his words startled Han Chen and Song Ming again.
At the same time, Qin Lao, who was standing by, also changed his expression.
But the qipao-clad woman smiled and then looked at Lin Hao, saying, "You are quite straightforward."
"Since you're so straightforward, I'll get straight to the point."
The qipao-clad woman looked at Lin Hao and said calmly, "Do you know that our final auction item today lost three to four hundred million yuan instantly after you took a look at it?"
As soon as the qipao-clad woman said this.
Han Chen and Song Ming's expressions changed.
At that moment, they finally understood.
Why the boss of Cang Pai Ge, this qipao-clad woman, had invited them for tea.
The qipao-clad woman was right.
The Yin Yang Mirror only fetched three hundred million yuan today, which was indeed a low price.
Before this, when Han Chen arrived, he thought it would cost at least six to seven hundred million yuan to acquire the Yin Yang Mirror.
Although he didn't bid in the end, it was indeed a fact that the price of the Yin Yang Mirror didn't go up after Lin Hao looked at it.
Thinking about these things, Han Chen and Song Ming felt a little anxious.
But then, they felt that they couldn't be blamed for this.
It was Cang Pai Ge's rule for bidders to verify auction items.
Even though they set the rule, and they hadn't broken it.
What did the inability to drive up the price have to do with them?
After realizing this, Han Chen and Song Ming's tense feelings immediately relaxed.
At the same time, the qipao-clad woman continued to look at Lin Hao and said, "I don't want you to compensate me."
"I just want to know what you saw in that artifact?"
"If you can explain it clearly, then you can leave."
"If you can't explain it, then you'll stay for tea."
Lin Hao looked at the arrogant woman before him and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Then, Lin Hao looked at her and slowly said, "If you want to hear my explanation."
"But my time is very valuable. For the sake of your beauty, I can give you a discount, one million per minute."
"Exceeding ten minutes, the extra minute will be free of charge."
"If you want to hear it, I can tell you now."
Lin Hao's words startled Han Chen and Song Ming.
They never expected Lin Hao to be so individualistic.
At the same time, the qipao-clad woman's expression also changed slightly, but then she looked at Lin Hao and sneered, "Go on."
Lin Hao nodded and then explained everything about the Yin Yang Mirror.
As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, the white-bearded old man in front of the qipao-clad woman became furious.
"Kid! How dare you say my Yin Yang Mirror is broken!?"
"Do you know what you're saying!?"
The white-bearded old man stared at Lin Hao, his face filled with rage.
"I didn't say your Yin Yang Mirror was broken, but that thing is not far from being completely broken," Lin Hao explained slightly to the white-bearded old man.
However, these words only made the white-bearded old man even angrier.
"Where did this brat come from? You're looking for death!" the white-bearded old man gritted his teeth, staring at Lin Hao. "Do you know what an artifact is!?"
"Kid, I advise you to rephrase your words carefully."
"Otherwise..."
The white-bearded old man snorted, and the red wine glass on the table in front of Lin Hao instantly shattered with a "crack."
