Chapter 77: Invitation Letter
The person most sad about the destruction of the Tianhao Building Materials Group was Old Mrs. Xiao.
Now that the Xiao family's economy was a bit tight, she was still hoping that Xiao Churan could persuade the Tianhao Building Materials Group to lend a batch of building materials first, which could be considered a disguised solution to the capital pressure.
But she didn't expect that the entire Tianhao Building Materials Group would vanish into thin air in one afternoon!
Now, the old lady was most worried about the funding problem. How to raise a sum of money became her biggest desire in her heart.
Xiao Churan didn't tell Grandma about what happened yesterday. After this experience, she decided in her heart that she would no longer ask about other family affairs in the future and focus on cooperating with the Dihao Group. As for other things, even if Grandma begged her, she would never intervene.
The next day, Xiao Churan's mental state and physical state recovered a lot, and she couldn't wait to get busy with work.
Ye Chen went out to buy groceries in the morning. When he returned home, he saw his father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, sitting on the sofa sighing with a depressed face.
He frowned and asked: "Dad, why are you in a bad mood? Who made you unhappy again? Could it be that you were cheated again when buying antiques?"
Xiao Changkun took a sip of jasmine tea and said angrily: "Don't mention antiques, damn it, I get angry when I mention it!"
"Why?" Ye Chen couldn't help asking: "Did you really get cheated?"
Xiao Changkun said: "It's not that I was cheated, it's because of the quota for the Treasure Pavilion auction!"
Ye Chen asked in surprise: "What is the Treasure Pavilion?"
"It's a clubhouse of the Jin Ling Cultural Relics Association. High-end cultural relic and antique auctions are often held inside, and they auction some good things that can't be seen on the market. Every family has a quota to participate."
Xiao Changkun said, with a look of longing on his face.
But then, he said with full decadence: "The Xiao family only got one invitation letter, and your grandma actually gave it to Xiao Hailong. That kid Xiao Hailong hasn't been in contact with antiques at all and doesn't understand anything. What is he going for? To lose face?"
Ye Chen knew that his father-in-law was very obsessed with antiques. Losing such an opportunity must be very uncomfortable for him.
So, Ye Chen smiled and said: "Dad, if you really want to go, just find a scalper to buy an invitation letter."
Xiao Changkun waved his hand: "The organizer of the Treasure Pavilion auction is the Song family. The Song family is the most powerful family in Jin Ling. I don't know how many people are squeezing their heads to want their invitation letters. How could it be possible to buy one."
Ye Chen smiled.
It turned out to be an auction organized by the Song family.
Didn't the eldest lady of the Song family, Song Wanting, also have to beg him to help her appraise antiques?
A small matter like an invitation letter should be solved by saying hello to her.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen said indifferently: "I happen to have friends in the Jin Ling family, so getting two invitation letters shouldn't be a difficult task."
Xiao Changkun didn't believe it and shook his head: "Forget it, what kind of decent friends can you know? I think they are just some fox friends and dog friends. They don't have the strength to contact the Song family."
Ye Chen didn't speak, went directly downstairs, called Song Wanting, and said: "Miss Song, I wonder if you can help me get two invitation letters for the Treasure Pavilion auction?"
Song Wanting said directly: "Mr. Ye, are two enough? If not, I'll give you a few more."
Ye Chen took the invitation letter and looked at it, saying: "Enough, it's just that my father-in-law and I are attending together."
Xiao Changkun was an antique enthusiast, and Xiao Churan and his mother-in-law had no interest at all. Even if they were allowed to go, they would think it was a waste of time.
And Ye Chen knew his father-in-law's virtue after the last antique street incident, fearing that his father-in-law would be confused and be pitted until he didn't even have pants left, so he had to follow and stare.
He also wanted to see if there were any rare spiritual medicines and treasures at the auction.
Speaking of treasures, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of the stone with "Peace and Wealth" written on it.
Since saving Dong Ruolin, the stone had disappeared. He estimated that it should have been lost in the process of saving Dong Ruolin.
Afterwards, he even went back to find the route of the day, but couldn't find it.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy of that stone had already been absorbed by himself, otherwise he would really regret it to death.
Since the things auctioned by "Treasure Pavilion" were all rare treasures in the world, maybe he could have some gains.
Until Xiao Churan came home from work, Xiao Changkun was still listless and sighing.
Ye Chen knew he was angry because of the invitation letter for the auction.
At this time, Song Wanting just called and said: "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I was handling things in Haicheng this afternoon, and now I'm downstairs at your house. I'll send the invitation letter up to you."
Ye Chen said hurriedly: "I'll go down and get it!"
After speaking, he hurried out.
Song Wanting sat in her Rolls-Royce and came downstairs. Seeing Ye Chen come out, she hurriedly got out of the car and handed him two invitation letters.
Ye Chen thanked her and didn't chat with her, so he hurried back home.
Back home, the father-in-law was still angry.
Xiao Churan persuaded him: "Oh Dad, don't be angry anymore. Grandma gave the invitation letter to Xiao Hailong, hoping that Xiao Hailong could take this opportunity to meet more people in the upper class and engage in social relations."
The father-in-law sighed: "Hey, your grandma has been partial since she was a child, doesn't like me, and only loves your eldest uncle and Hailong. It's still like this now, it's really pissing me off!"
Xiao Churan nodded helplessly. She also knew that Grandma was partial.
Grandma first felt that Dad had no prospects and no ability, so she relied more on the eldest uncle.
Then she felt that she was a girl and couldn't inherit the family business, so she doted on Xiao Hailong more.
Later, when she married Ye Chen, Grandma had completely given up on her family.
At this time, Ye Chen walked up and handed the two golden invitation letters to his father-in-law, saying: "Dad, the invitation letter you want, I got it."
"What!!"
Xiao Changkun jumped up as if there was a spring on his butt!
He snatched the invitation letter from Ye Chen's hand and hurriedly opened it to take a look, suddenly excited and unable to speak.
Xiao Churan on the side was also incredibly surprised, took the invitation letter from her father's hand and looked at it, it was really the invitation letter of "Treasure Pavilion".
"Great! Ye Chen, you are really my good son-in-law." Xiao Changkun was excited, his face flushed, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
He reached out and patted Ye Chen on the shoulder: "My daughter married you, she really married the right person."
"Tsk, just an invitation letter, it made you so happy that your brain is not clear." Mother-in-law Ma Lan scolded unpleasantly.
Xiao Changkun held the invitation letter tightly and said to Ma Lan with dissatisfaction: "What do you know, this is the invitation letter of Treasure Pavilion!"
After speaking, he smiled at Ye Chen and said: "Sit down and eat!"
Then he greeted Xiao Churan again: "Go, take the sea dog wine in my room, let's drink two cups with my good son-in-law tonight."
Ma Lan saw Xiao Changkun so happy, glared at Ye Chen unpleasantly, and said nothing more.
Xiao Churan was also very happy, but had some doubts. After taking the medicinal wine out, she sat down beside Ye Chen and bumped him with her elbow: "Where did you get this invitation letter?"
She had also inquired at the company this afternoon, wanting to get an invitation letter for her dad, but she found out that the invitation letter of Treasure Pavilion was limited for every family!
How did Ye Chen get it?
Ye Chen smiled: "I asked a friend for it. He also got two invitation letters, but he didn't want to go, so he gave them to me."
"Is there such a coincidence?" Xiao Churan was half-believing, "Why haven't I heard you say that you have a friend with such good family conditions? What's his name?"
Ye Chen said lightly: "Surname Qin, helped him once at the antique street last time, Dad knows..."
Xiao Changkun also nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, indeed, that guy surnamed Qin also gave a jade bracelet, saying it was worth five or six million!"
