Things had already come to this.
There was no need to hesitate.
Since Lin Yu had chosen to do this, there was no turning back.
He wouldn't just pretend nothing happened just because someone said a few words.
Not only did he have to do it.
He had to do it in a way that left all these people speechless.
He also had to make Huang Feiya, as well as the people behind her, carefully weigh their own strength before trying to scheme against him.
"Sister Hong, I'm really not just being polite with you, I'm just discussing the matter at hand."
"Before coming here, I already had the same idea as Miss Huang Feiya mentioned."
"It's just that it's a little different from what she said."
As soon as Lin Yu said this.
Everyone's eyes focused on him.
Wasn't the suggestion Huang Feiya made already too much?
And it was actually a little different from what she said?
What exactly Lin Yu was thinking became the focus of everyone's attention.
Then.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Yu held up three fingers.
And continued to say calmly:
"A single highly valuable antique might not be enough to completely turn public opinion around."
"So my idea is..."
"Three pieces!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire room fell into a long silence.
A few days ago, a single antique had appeared at the Gui Auction House.
That alone was enough to elevate the auction house's reputation to a whole new level.
If what Lin Yu said was true...
Bringing out three antiques of the same caliber!!
The potential chain reaction was something even Sister Hong, with her many years in the industry, couldn't imagine.
Just a moment ago, Sister Hong firmly rejected Huang Feiya's proposal, unwilling to let Lin Yu feel like he was being schemed against.
At this very moment, after Lin Yu finished speaking, her heart was strongly shaken...
This was probably the best opportunity she had encountered since taking over the management of the Gui Auction House.
If she missed this chance, it was hard to say if there would ever be another one in the future.
Faced with such a massive temptation, who could guarantee they wouldn't have a bit of selfish desire!
Even Sister Hong, who had seen her fair share of grand occasions, stood stunned in place.
Let alone the few younger people.
Even Huang Feiya, who had made the suggestion, began to lose the calm expression on her face.
[Ding!]
[Outstanding operation, the Holy Son's formidable strength has left Pansi Immortal particularly shocked!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu: "..."
Looking at Huang Feiya's expression, it was more excitement than shock.
That's right!
It was the kind of excitement of being completely mesmerized.
She didn't even try to hide the expression on her face, staring at Lin Yu with a look of obsession.
As a fellow schemer who often played mind games, how could Lin Yu not read this signal?
It felt like throwing a piece of bread to see if there were any fish in the pond.
Unexpectedly.
Not only was there a fish, but it was a whale!
What made Lin Yu even more uncomfortable was the system's notification sound.
Having worked so hard in the system for so many days.
How could Lin Yu not know what kind of nature the system had.
[Outstanding operation]...
That was always targeted at their own people!
The rewards obtained from dealing with evil demons were always prompts like [Critical Strike] or [Blood-Breaking Frenzy].
Putting it this way.
There was really no way to simply treat Huang Feiya as an enemy!
"Mom, say something!"
"Why are you spacing out? This is not the time for you to be tempted!"
Huang Feirong was the first to react.
She wasn't part of this circle to begin with, so she naturally didn't overthink things.
After being shocked for a few seconds, she was the first to snap out of it.
She considered Lin Yu a friend.
Between friends, one shouldn't measure their relationship with money.
Once money got involved, it would be hard to maintain their original friendship.
Huang Feirong was originally waiting for her mom to continue righteously rejecting the offer.
To her surprise.
Her mom actually seemed a bit captivated!
The impact of three super antiques was truly something ordinary people couldn't resist.
After Sister Hong came back to her senses, she also realized she had just lost her composure.
She quickly tried to cover it up and said:
"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
"No! Little Yu, we really can't do this."
"It would be fine if we... if we were just doing normal business."
"But we can't let you sacrifice so much just to help our Huang family..."
Sister Hong stammered.
To be able to maintain her rationality and finish saying this, Sister Hong had already exerted a tremendous amount of effort.
She simply couldn't control her tone perfectly.
This point.
Shen Buyao and Shen Jiuyi naturally understood Sister Hong's feelings.
Especially Shen Buyao!
She asked herself, if she were in that position, she might not even have Sister Hong's self-control.
Lin Yu had already spoken, how could he possibly take his words back?
He said nonchalantly:
"Sister Hong, you don't need to feel any psychological pressure."
"Just treat it as a normal transaction between us."
"I'll come again tomorrow night, and I'll bring my three auction items with me."
"I'll leave it entirely up to you to arrange the auction time and how to promote it."
"Since the matter is resolved, and I still have family waiting outside."
"I think it's about time. The auction is about to start, right?"
Saying that.
Lin Yu stood up from his seat and looked at the two women from the Shen family.
He originally thought they would chat a bit longer to understand the situation better.
But now.
There was no need for Lin Yu to understand anything at all; they had already sorted things out internally.
He had become the final puzzle piece of the night, only waiting for him to show up.
As for what Huang Feiya was scheming, Lin Yu would eventually find out by playing along with her.
With the system's continuous prompts, it wouldn't take long to figure it all out.
"Little Yu, don't, really don't, your good intentions..."
Sister Hong wanted to say more, but Lin Yu simply reached out and stopped her.
He further asked in return:
"Sister Hong, do you not see me as one of your own?"
With Lin Yu saying this.
No matter how many reasons Sister Hong had to refuse, she had to swallow them back.
Her eyes widened as she quickly replied:
"How is that possible! Haven't we been on the same side from the very beginning?"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded:
"That's good. Between our own people, there's no need to speak like strangers."
"If I don't come to you, Sister Hong, to auction them, do you want me to go to someone else?"
Sister Hong was momentarily speechless, unable to find an angle to respond.
She didn't really want to completely shut the door on him either.
She just felt it was inappropriate.
Since the words had reached this point.
If she still didn't accept, it would inevitably seem a bit too falsely polite.
"Alright, Little Yu, Sister Hong will accept your kindness."
"From now on, your business is my business."
"Whether inside or outside this circle, as long as you say the word."
"If it's something Sister Hong can do, I will absolutely get it done for you!"
Hearing his sister-in-law accept Lin Yu's kindness, Huang Daoqi finally stepped forward:
"Boss Lin, thank you so much!"
"You didn't just help the Gui Auction House, you helped me."
"I, Old Third Huang, am not a man of great abilities, but if you ever need anything in the future, you can also come to me."
Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all and smoothly replied:
"Third Uncle Huang, may I borrow someone from you?"
As he spoke.
Lin Yu's gaze locked onto Huang Feiya.
