CHAPTER 861: CHAPTER 837: AUCTION HOUSE

Hao Zhigang finished his bath and shaved off the beard that looked like wild grass.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Hao Zhigang felt refreshed.

Their family was about to turn things around.

What he planned to do today was to take the Youthful Appearance Pill that Jiang Xiaoxiao concocted last night to a specialized auction house and sell these elixirs.

Why not sell them in their own shop?

Just think about it, their storefront is just the size of a single palm.

It couldn’t attract any crowd, and wealthy people wouldn’t come to such a place to buy elixirs.

They wouldn’t sell!

Taking them to the auction house was to immediately exchange them for money, then buy a proper location with good traffic to set up a storefront and do some elaborate decorations.

Wealthy people have a taste for this; only such a facade could attract serious buyers.

By the time they hold a grand opening, that would be when the Hao family’s turning point truly begins.

At that point, they can display the Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pills and other Youthful Appearance Pills inside.

After Jiang Xiaoxiao goes to the Medicine God Association, there will be other Super-grade elixirs as well, what would that be like?

Hao Zhigang was full of ambition; he believed that by then, perhaps their family might open several more branches.

Wealthy people love such things, especially those rich older women; there were no shortage of people traveling a long distance to buy Youthful Appearance Pills here, and they weren’t stingy with money.

They’d spend large sums just for beauty.

Otherwise, the Wang family wouldn’t have set their sights on them.

Speaking of the Wang family!

They even dared to covet their Youthful Appearance Pills.

Hao Zhigang felt that gaining pride and confidence was all in this one act.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was startled to see Hao Zhigang.

Had always thought the person in front of her was an uncle in his thirties, but only now realized she was mistaken; once the beard was shaved, the hair was trimmed, and he changed his attire.

He instantly looked over twenty years younger, looking like a fresh eighteen or nineteen-year-old in front of her.

No wonder the old lady told him to call himself her nephew.

He really didn’t call wrong.

"Nephew, how old are you?"

Hao Zhigang smiled shyly, "Aunt, you should still call me by my name; if you call me nephew in public, it would embarrass me; I’m 25 this year."

"No wonder your family makes Youthful Appearance Pills, just look, he looks like a live eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t admit she had a tendency to tease people.

To her surprise, Hao Zhigang blushed, his ears turned red.

"Aunt, today you’ll come with me to the auction house."

The old lady had given Hao Zhigang instructions for quite a while; their family absolutely couldn’t afford to offend the person in front of them, Fan Xiao.

Publicly, it was also declared that she was his aunt, of course, the old lady indeed had a missing granddaughter many years ago.

Theoretically, this granddaughter would be thirty by now.

Age wasn’t an issue in their Hao family; who made their family experts in Youthful Appearance Pills.

Any age could be justified with a Youthful Appearance Pill; their family’s Youthful Appearance Pill could keep someone young forever, or make someone age overnight.

It all depended on how the Youthful Appearance Pill was crafted.

Publicly, she was Hao Ruxue, the young daughter of the Hao family, a name Jiang Xiaoxiao truly couldn’t help but find amusing.

Hao Ruxue, How Studious!

Such a longing for academic progress.

Now, she had to live here under the identity of a daughter of the Hao family, making her way into the Medicine God Association.

This name was indeed shocking.

How dare they call themselves Medicine God?

Where did they get the courage and boldness?

"Me? To the auction house?"

Truly never heard of an auction house; she heard of them selling antiques in modern times, never heard of medicine entering an auction house.

She’s attended a few auctions just to see the buzz.

Hao Zhigang saw that his aunt looked completely puzzled.

She really had no idea.

Many people outside didn’t understand the local customs.

West City had its own rules, out of tune with the outside world.

Though times progressed, West City retained many old traditions and legacies.

"Let’s go! I’ll show you, and you’ll know how much your Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pill can sell for!"

Hao Zhigang was really a good person; he could’ve very well hidden the selling price of the Youthful Appearance Pill, and Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have known, the price would be whatever Hao Zhigang set.

Now, how could Jiang Xiaoxiao not know?

Jiang Xiaoxiao gave Hao Zhigang a thumbs-up in her heart.

The Hao family had good character.

But so far, she had only interacted with two, one being the Hao family ancestor, and one was Hao Zhigang.

Other Hao family members had nothing to do with her.

The two of them set off.

This time returning to the city center.

Luxurious skyscrapers, streams of traffic, seemingly another world.

The small motorbike stopped in front of a splendid auction house.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took off her helmet and looked at the three golden words above.

"Yixin Hall"!

The name was quite elegant, meaning doing business wholeheartedly?

Did not understand, just pretend to understand.

The decor here was more than twice as luxurious as that of a big hotel in the Capital City.

This building was a full eight stories high.

From afar, the glass facade outside gleamed in the sunlight, and the storefront was richly decorated.

In front of the glass doors stood two lines of pretty girls in cheongsams, slender and graceful, truly prettier than flowers.

Smilingly opening the door for every customer entering.

And the two of them clearly contrasted with everything around, mainly because the parking lot outside was filled with luxurious cars.

Even someone like Jiang Xiaoxiao, who wasn’t very knowledgeable, could tell these cars were definitely valuable.

And their little motorbike parked in a corner looked quite shabby.

In addition to their attire,

Even though Hao Zhigang had put on his most decent clothes, he still seemed somewhat shabby and outdated compared to the well-dressed customers entering through the doors.

Needless to mention Jiang Xiaoxiao, she had dressed too casually according to her intent to stay low-profile, to disguise her identity.

She intentionally dressed like an ordinary person.

But here, her outfit undoubtedly appeared too shabby.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Hao Zhigang exchanged a glance, seeing each other’s thoughts in their eyes.

Coming here, they would likely be sized up by others.

Hao Zhigang gritted his teeth; this was the largest, fairest, and most reasonably priced auction house in West City.

If they didn’t come here and took their Super-grade Youthful Appearance Pills to another auction house, the value might directly decrease by one-fifth.

This one-fifth was still extremely important to Hao Zhigang at the moment.

Especially at this developmental stage, where one’s resources are limited.

For the sake of this one-fifth, they had to be prepared to endure it.

The two of them stepped forward.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could endure the condescension.

For the sake of their Old Song, it was just taking a hit.

They weren’t afraid.

They could bear it!
