Hearing such a warm response, Xiaobei nodded indifferently.
Soon, Xiaobei slightly adjusted his words and calmly said to them, "Iâm here today to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony!"
"We know, we knew about this beforehand! Actually, itâs because we knew youâd be attending the ceremony that we all came here."
"Thatâs right, thatâs right!"
After taking a deep breath, everyone expressed their excitement...
They were all here in groups, purely because they wanted to see Xiaobei well.
...
"Oh, I see! I understand! By the way, itâs almost time, I need to prepare a bit. Can we talk later?"
Xiaobei knew that if he didnât find a reason, they would certainly keep pestering him.
He was invited by Manager Bian today, so he couldnât delay matters for them; otherwise, that would be unreasonable.
"Okay, Master Xiaobei, business is important."
"Exactly!"
When they responded seriously, they quickly stepped back, leaving a path...
Seeing everyone step aside, Xiaobei smiled gently.
Soon, Xiaobei headed straight to Manager Tai.
Xiaobei checked some information about Manager Tai on the way here, so he knew what he looked like. Now, he recognized him at a glance as the person standing not far away.
"Master Xiaobei!"
After walking forward a few steps, Xiaobei heard such a cheerful shout.
Looking deeply at the person, Xiaobei responded with a smile, "Itâs me! Hello, Manager Tai."
"Good! We are all good! By the way, it was a tough journey before!"
While speaking, Manager Tai, with a smile, carefully observed Xiaobei...
Seeing Xiaobeiâs calm composure, Manager Tai knew everything should have gone smoothly before.
"Thatâs good then!"
After saying this, Manager Tai quickly introduced the two people beside him to Xiaobei.
Xiaobei looked at them and asked with a smile, "Hello!"
Upon hearing Xiaobei speak to them, they looked at Xiaobei excitedly and exclaimed, "Master Xiaobei, we heard about you before. Now it seems you truly have a strong presence! Standing here, facing so many people, youâre not even slightly flustered!"
As they spoke, they looked at Xiaobei very seriously.
They found Xiaobei really composed all the time!
This composure surprised them and greatly improved their impression of Xiaobei.
"Youâre exaggerating! I..."
Hearing their admiration, Xiaobei waved his hand and spoke softly.
But before he finished, he was interrupted.
"Are you the Xiaobei invited to this ceremony?"
Hearing such an extremely arrogant inquiry, Xiaobei squinted and turned his head.
Soon, Xiaobei saw an old man in a Zhongshan suit looking at him coldly.
Feeling his annoyance, Xiaobei was somewhat upset...
Because he couldnât recall ever offending him.
"Thatâs right, itâs me! Who are you?"
Thinking for a moment, unable to figure out who he was, Xiaobei answered and then curiously asked.
"You donât recognize me?"
Hearing Xiaobeiâs curious retort, Master Zhouâs face changed drastically.
He didnât expect Xiaobei not to recognize him at all.
"Is it strange not to know you?"
Xiaobei looked at him and curiously replied...
Hearing Xiaobeiâs indifferent retort, Master Zhou was so angry his mind went blank.
At this moment, he was shaking with rage, his mind completely blank...
...
"The atmosphere is getting tenser!"
Manager Tai murmured to himself and soon clapped his hands lightly.
Attracting Master Zhou and Xiaobeiâs attention, he went to Xiaobei and Master Zhou and softly introduced, "Master Xiaobei, this is the famous Master Zhou from the antique world. Heâs spent his life in the antique world and is quite knowledgeable about antiques!"
Hearing this explanation, Xiaobei squinted his eyes and carefully observed Master Zhou standing not far from him...
Xiaobei indeed felt a faint scholarly aura from him.
However, Xiaobei found it particularly weak.
If Xiaobeiâs nose wasnât particularly good, he wouldnât have felt anything even with a hint.
"Now you know my reputation, right?"
Hearing Manager Taiâs introduction, Master Zhou looked at Xiaobei arrogantly.
At this moment, he felt good because he believed that once Xiaobei knew his detailed identity, he would definitely treat him with respect.
"Haha!"
With a lukewarm smile, Xiaobei didnât engage further but instead turned to Manager Tai and calmly asked, "Manager Tai, when will the ribbon-cutting start?"
"The ribbon-cutting..."
Manager Tai looked at Xiaobei, quickly preparing to explain, but was interrupted by Master Zhouâs sarcastic grin...
"Master Zhou, do you have something to say?"
With a glance at Master Zhouâs contorted expression, Manager Tai quickly asked...
As Manager Bian inquired, Xiaobei also turned to look.
At this moment, Xiaobei heard a completely indifferent voice say, "Manager Tai, about the ribbon-cutting, shouldnât you reconsider carefully? Having such an ignorant person do the ribbon-cutting will ruin the marketâs Feng Shui."
Upon hearing such blunt words, Manager Tai looked at him coldly and said, "Donât eat carelessly and donât speak carelessly either!"
"You..."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to attend the ribbon-cutting, stay. If not, you can leave."
Previously, Manager Tai didnât plan to completely fall out with Master Zhou.
But now, Manager Tai changed his mind.
Because Manager Tai obviously felt that sometimes he was too accommodating, allowing such insolence in front of him...
"You..."
Attempting to say more, Master Zhou eventually gave up...
After doing a few random push-ups, Master Zhou looked at Xiaobei and sneered.
Soon, he quickly stepped in front of Xiaobei and impatiently asked, "How much do you know about antiques?"
Hearing such an impatient inquiry, Xiaobei didnât respond and just calmly squinted his eyes.
"What? I asked you a question, are your ears deaf?"
Not receiving a response from Xiaobei, Master Zhou furiously started scolding...
