Everyone is in a hurry, rushing about for life!
While these ordinary people were busy struggling to make a living, in the most prosperous area of Kyoto, a Christie's auction house spanning dozens of acres and standing over ten stories tall rose majestically. Inside the auction house, countless wealthy merchants came and went, admiring the various antiques and porcelain displayed there!
Anything in here, just a random thing, is something that ordinary people couldn't earn even in ten lifetimes. Even when these wealthy businessmen and women visit, they are careful and keep their distance because they don't know which item might be priceless.
"Let's grab some food first, and then go to the antique exhibition auction!"
Gǔwèn Tiān suggested!
Everyone nodded, after such a long car ride, they were indeed a bit hungry!
Just then, Chen Ping's phone rang. It was Zhao Wuji calling to ask if Chen Ping had come to the auction!
After Chen Ping told Zhao Wujie that he had arrived in Kyoto, Zhao Wujie was delighted and wanted to personally host a banquet for Chen Ping.
Originally, Chen Ping wanted to refuse because it was too much trouble. However, after thinking about it, he realized there might be a place in Kyoto where Zhao Wujī could be useful, so Chen Ping agreed!
Zhao Wujix chose an old-fashioned Beijing restaurant. When he saw Chen Ping and the others arrive, Zhao Wujix immediately stood up to greet them!
Seeing Gu Wen Tian had also come, Zhao Wu Ji hurriedly laughed and said, "Old Gu, I didn't expect you to be here too!"
"Master Zhao..."
Seeing Zhao Wuji, Gu Wentong hurriedly paid his respects!
Even if he hadn't stepped down yet, he would have to bow to Zhao Wuji with his current status. The two are not on the same level at all!
"Old friend, you don't have to be so polite. You're a senior to me, it would be an honor to receive your courtesy."
Zhao Wujie smiled and said.
Gu Ling'er and Su Yuqi also greeted Zhao Wujix!

"Mr. Chen, please come in and sit down. I've arranged everything..."
Zhao Wujie invited Chen Ping and the others into a private room!
After entering the private room, Chen Ping and his companions didn't stand on ceremony. They chatted and ate as they were all hungry!
"Mr. Chen, many people are participating in the antique auction this time, including Qin Xiaoxiao from the Qin family. So I hope Mr. Chen will be restrained then. But rest assured, I will also warn Qin Xiaoxiao not to lay a hand on Mr. Chen!"
Zha Wuji said to Chen Ping!
Although he knew Chen Ping was not afraid of the Qin family, if they were to fight again in such a public setting, it would be extremely detrimental. As the head of the Kyoto Guardian Pavilion, he had an irreplaceable responsibility!
"Master Zhao, rest assured. As long as the Qin family doesn't cause me trouble, I won't make a move!" Chen said calmly!
This Qin Xiaottian has always been arrogant and conceited. Back then, if it weren't for me, he would have died abroad long ago. The Qin family wouldn't have the glory it has today...
Gu Wen Tian said with anger on his face!
Back then, the Qin family used Gu Wentong's resources and connections to gradually develop in Kyoto. They even had Qin Feng betrothed to Gu Ling'er. For the sake of the Qin family, Gu Wentong spared no effort. However, in the end, Qin Feng unilaterally broke off the engagement, and the Qin family, having become a prominent family in Kyoto, directly looked down upon their Gu family!
With Gu Qitian's decline, the Gu family's strength was no longer what it used to be. They were directly left behind by the Qin family and disappeared without a trace. Now, whenever Gu Qitian thinks of the Qin family, he feels deeply resentful!
"Grandpa, what did you say it was going to do before..."
Guling'er frowned slightly and said to Gu Wentian!
Zhao Wujie also knew about some of the things that happened in the past. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The Qin family was indeed ruthless in their pursuit of development back then. Many people, not just Lao Gu, were used by them. So Lao Gu shouldn't take it too seriously!"
