From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 261: Old Skills Can’t Be Lost
The 180-year-old wild ginseng is lot number 38.

Now, the auction has just begun and there is still some time before this item is auctioned.

The first lot, the colorful glazed purple gold bottle, had a starting price of only two million, but the final transaction price was a whopping 9.8 million.

Jiang Yao was not very interested in these things. He was just watching and did not bid to participate in the auction of any item.

"Lot 26: Blue and Red Platinum Diamond Pendant. Mr. Li at table number nine is bidding 3.8 million."

"This is a rare and precious piece of jewelry. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

"Three million eight hundred thousand, first time."

"Three million eight hundred thousand, the second time."

"Three million, eight hundred thousand. Third time. Deal. Congratulations, Mr. Li."

……

At the auction table in the hall, the auctioneer was enthusiastic and another item was sold successfully at a good price.

The man who won the bid for this item, Mr. Li, was probably in his thirties.

His hair was so greasy that if a flea landed on his head, it would probably not be able to stand firmly and would slide down by itself.

He was wearing a custom-made white suit that looked perfectly fitted and had a British style, giving him a sense of elegance.

There was no female companion at the table where he was sitting.

After getting the diamond pendant, he stood up and walked directly to the table where Jiang Yao was.

"Fei'er, I bought this pendant especially for you."

"I feel really bad to see you wearing a dress but without any decent jewelry."

"You should have already understood my feelings for you, Fei'er."

"In the past, I spent all day wandering around among the prostitutes. My reputation wasn't very good, I admit that. But since I first saw you, Fei'er, a few months ago, I was deeply attracted to you."

"I understand that you have been unwilling to accept my pursuit, but I believe that where there is a will there is a way. One day, you will feel my sincerity and be moved by me."

……

Mr. Li's eyes were full of pity as he looked at Cheng Fei'er in front of him. He was extremely sincere and spoke from the bottom of his heart as he handed over the box containing the diamond pendant.

"Mr. Li, don't do this, this is a public place."

"You and I are just ordinary friends. I really can't afford such an expensive gift."

"I cannot accept this diamond pendant. You should take it back!"

Mr. Li's sudden action scared Cheng Feier.

Looking at Jiang Yao beside her, and feeling that many people in the venue were looking in her direction, she felt extremely embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly, politely declining.

This Mr. Li, whose name is Li Zhaofeng, is one of the direct descendants of the Li family, a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong.

Facing Cheng Fei'er's refusal, he smiled without any hesitation and continued, "As long as it is something you want, Fei'er, even if it is the stars in the sky, I am willing to help you pick it."

"It's just a pendant, just an insignificant little gift. I bought it especially for you, Fei'er."

"If it doesn't suit your taste, just throw it away. I, Li, have never taken back any gift I've given away."

With a gentle look on his face, Li Zhaofeng smiled elegantly.

He turned his gaze and fell on Jiang Yao next to him: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Fei'er's boss, Mr. Jiang Yaozu!"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but as a boss, since you asked Fei'er to attend the Christie's auction with you, how could you be so careless and not consider her image?"

"Look at the other female companions at the venue. They are all decked out in jewels and precious stones, but Fei'er is the only one who looks so shabby."

"Fei'er is the love of my life. Seeing her so aggrieved, my heart aches, as if I were stabbed by someone."

"If you are really short of money and don't have any jewellery worth buying, you can tell me!"

"As a man, I would rather eat porridge and steamed buns every day than let Fei'er suffer any grievances."

……

This guy might have regarded Jiang Yao as an imaginary love rival.

It would be fine if he thought of himself as a love saint, but he also used Jiang Yao as a stepping stone and kept stepping on him.

"Isn't Li Zhaofeng a famous playboy? When did he become so affectionate?"

"Who knows? Maybe Mr. Li is possessed by the spirit of drama now!"

"What kind of acting spirit is this? He is simply expressing his true feelings. I feel that Mr. Li is so graceful today and much more handsome than before."

"There are rumors that Cheng Fei'er and her boss Jiang Yaozu have always had an ambiguous relationship. Mr. Li did this. Do you think Jiang Yaozu will get angry and start a fight?" ...

The auction was still going on. On the high platform at the front of the venue, the auctioneer was still working hard to introduce the item in his hand.

However, compared with the previous auction, the auction of this item was obviously a bit dull at this moment.

Because most people in the meeting hall were looking at the corner where Li Zhaofeng, Jiang Yao and others were.

Some people were whispering and talking among themselves, some were gloating and laughing with their hands covering their mouths. Only the auctioneer on the stage had a rather unhappy look on his face.

"Mr. Li, are you very rich?" With a gloomy expression, Jiang Yao looked Li Zhaofeng up and down.

"Whether our Li family is rich, I think most people in Hong Kong should know the answer!" Li Zhaofeng exuded strong confidence and still had a gentle look on his face. He responded with a smile.

"It's good to have money!" Looking at the mysterious and profound words, Jiang Yao nodded.

Then, he continued, "Since Fei'er doesn't want to accept the pendant you took, I suggest you don't force it. It's better to take it back."

"Also, don't disturb the auction. The auctioneer on the stage has a very dark face. If you weren't the son of the Li family, he would have asked the security guards to chase you away!"

Many people were looking here. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Yao did not do anything other than leaving a spiritual mark on Li Zhaofeng. He just said a few words of persuasion.

"Mr. Li, please take the things back and don't make things difficult for me." Cheng Feier, who was standing aside, had an extremely complicated expression on her face at this moment.

She sighed several times, followed Jiang Yao closely, and comforted Li Zhaofeng.

"Fei'er, now that you've said that, it seems like this little gift I gave you really isn't to your liking."

"In that case, well, I'll go back to my seat first."

"If there is anything you like among the various items being auctioned, don't be polite to me. You know, I will definitely not refuse you anything as long as you ask, Fei'er!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Zhaofeng still maintained his proper demeanor.

After putting away the pendant box, he stood up and left. While Cheng Feier was not paying attention, he gave Jiang Yao a provocative look.

"Old Liu, have you arranged for those comrades who are willing to work with you to accomplish great things? How many are there now?" Seeing Li Zhaofeng leave and return to his seat, Jiang Yao looked at Scar Liu next to him with flashing eyes.

The night he was attacked by the SAS, he felt deeply the shortage of manpower.

After all, he just wanted to practice quietly. If he had to do it himself when encountering a small problem, it would be a waste of time.

Although Bingzai is doing very well and has conquered several territories and has thousands of subordinates, most of his men are just ordinary gangsters.

Jiang Yao had never thought about joining a gang, so he asked his soldiers to help him occasionally, but that was fine. He couldn't rely on them for everything.

After realizing that he was seriously short of manpower, he naturally turned his attention to Scar Liu and his men.

After all, they all came from the battlefield.

Compared with the gangsters under Bingzai, Scar Liu and his comrades are definitely much stronger in all aspects, and most of them are the kind of people who dare to fight and kill.

When these people arrived in Hong Kong, they were called the Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers. They were very famous and frightened countless Hong Kong people.

"Boss, many of our former comrades-in-arms can no longer be contacted."

"We spent a lot of effort and were able to contact only six or seven people who were in a relatively poor situation but were willing to come to Hong Kong."

"I have applied for temporary status for these people and have temporarily arranged for them to stay in Yuen Long."

"Recently, they have been learning Hong Kong dialect and are still adapting to the environment here."

Scar Liu reported in a low voice while lowering his voice.

After this group of people came here, he was the one who made all the arrangements.

Of course, Jiang Yao did call them and tell them about the matter of applying for legal identity for them.

Nowadays, the business he owns is not small. He has people like Fang Jieting and Huang Minghua in the police force, and he also has soldiers in the society.

For Jiang Yao now, arranging for Scar Liu's comrades to smuggle over and then obtaining legal identities for them is just a matter of a few phone calls.

"Six or seven of them have already come. With the addition of you guys, we should have enough manpower."

"You stay by my side every day, but you don't make much money. You and Big Bear must be feeling a little anxious!"

"We've been living in peace for a while now, but we can't lose our old skills. It's time for you to start using them."

"That Mr. Li just now is stupid and has a lot of money. He just admitted it himself."

"With me backing you up, you don't need to prepare anything. You can just act right away. What do you think?" With a bright smile on his face, Jiang Yao said casually.

"Understand, we definitely understand!" Scar Liu and Big Bear were stunned at first, then they reacted, looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

After greeting Jiang Yao, the two of them hurriedly walked out of the auction venue.
