Chapter 18 I want you to work for me
To avoid making a fool of himself, Xiao Yan quickly shifted his attention, his gaze falling on the old man in blue, finally settling on the old man's chest.
There was no gold star painted there, but instead, there was something that looked somewhat like a medicine furnace.
On the surface of the medicine furnace, two silver ripples shimmered with a noble light.
Ya Fei's attention wasn't on Xiao Yan. She looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile, "Senior, this is Master Gu Ni from our auction house. He is a second-grade alchemist."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly; he knew all of this.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched unconsciously.
This was the first time he had met an alchemist other than Yao Lao.
The old man's face was ruddy, and although his blue robes looked ordinary, they subtly shimmered with light.
On his ordinary old face lay an undisguised arrogance, a quality that every alchemist possessed.
However, his arrogance vanished instantly when Xiao Chen looked at him.
The middle-aged man carefully picked up the jade bottle from the table and handed it to Gu Ni.
Taking the white jade bottle, Gu Ni lightly sniffed the fragrant aroma, not daring to conduct any further testing, and then looked at Ya Fei, saying, "The quality is excellent; the person who refined it must be a high-level alchemist!"
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei immediately smiled warmly at Xiao Chen and asked, "Senior, are you planning to auction this spiritual liquid?"
"Hmm, what do you think of its value?"
Ya Fei covered her red lips with her jade hand and chuckled softly, her full breasts tracing a breathtaking arc: "Senior, this spiritual liquid can be used for cultivation at the Dou Qi stage, so it is quite valuable."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and remained silent.
Looking at the young-looking patriarch of the Xiao family, Ya Fei frowned slightly.
It seems that her prized appearance had no effect on this patriarch of the Xiao family.
That's right. I heard that this ancestor of the Xiao family has lived for 30,000 years. What kind of beauty hasn't he seen?
With a helpless pout, Ya Fei felt a little disappointed.
Her gaze met Master Gu Ni's beside her. She gently bit her red lips and asked softly, "Senior, most of the properties in Wutan City are now in the hands of the Xiao family. Ya Fei would like to know your attitude towards our Mitel Auction House?"
"My attitude towards Mittel Auction House?" Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
"Yes." Ya Fei smiled, but she felt nervous inside.
Xiao Chen lowered his gaze to Ya Fei's small, white feet hidden in her tight red dress. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Everyone else, please leave. Xiao Yan, you leave too."
Yafei, who was able to become the chief auctioneer at Mittel Auction House, was certainly no pushover.
Having read the original novel many times, Xiao Chen knew that this woman was not just a pretty face.
Being alone in a room with Xiao Chen, Ya Fei felt slightly nervous, her tightly clenched hands covered in sweat.
Living in Wutan City, she had already thoroughly investigated the recent news about the reappearance of Xiao Chen, the patriarch of the Xiao family.
Regardless of the truth, the fact that he drained all the fighting spirit of Wutan City is enough to show how terrifying the strength of this Xiao family patriarch is!
Ya Fei gently bit her red lips, and secretly glanced at Xiao Chen out of the corner of her eye.
He is tall and slender, with a handsome face and bright eyes. His physique and temperament are both excellent.
However, the faint curve at the corner of his mouth made Ya Fei dare not regard him as an ordinary young man.
She knew perfectly well that the rapid rise of the Xiao family's strength and the demise of the Jialie and Aoba families were all due to the Xiao family patriarch in front of her.
"Are you nervous?" Just as Ya Fei's mind was racing, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke up calmly.
Her smile froze slightly, and after a few moments of silence, Ya Fei replied truthfully, "There are probably not many people who can remain calm in front of a senior like you..."
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, then suddenly gestured with his chin toward the chair beside him: "Sit down."
Without hesitation, Ya Fei obeyed and moved gracefully to sit down opposite Xiao Chen.
A pair of alluring, narrow, beautiful eyes stared at the floor with a hint of nervousness.
"Are you surprised by my arrival?" Xiao Chen looked at the obedient Ya Fei in front of him, his eyes slightly dazed, and then asked with a faint smile.
Ya Fei brushed the strands of hair that fell across her forehead with her jade-like hand, pursed her red lips, and said with a wry smile, "The main thing is that I can't believe that Senior would come in person."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
Actually, I came here specifically for you.
"Senior, do you mean to?" Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ya Fei asked timidly.
However, a hint of surprise, which she had hidden very well, flashed across her beautiful eyes.
"I've looked into you, and I think you're a very good person."
Xiao Chen leaned back slightly, shifting his posture, and then said, "I want you to work for me. Are you willing?"
Hearing these words, which were somewhat different from what she had expected but not far off, Ya Fei blushed slightly and said, "It is Ya Fei's honor to work under your guidance, senior."
Xiao Chen's lips curled into a smile: "Warming the bed, do you know how?"
Ya Fei's expression froze on the spot.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "I thought you were too nervous. I was just joking. Besides, I don't need anyone to warm my bed in this weather."
Ya Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly realized that this patriarch of the Xiao family was not as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.
Good-looking, highly capable, and humorous...
"Now I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to work for me?" Xiao Chen tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers.
"Of course, Consort Ya is willing." Consort Ya raised her head, her eyes smiling.
"You should know why I'm looking for you. By the way, do people in the capital know about my situation?"
"The message didn't get out."
"Senior, do I look like the kind of big-breasted, brainless, stupid woman?" Ya Fei innocently shrugged.
Staring intently at Ya Fei's chest, Xiao Chen nodded after a moment: "Her breasts are indeed very large, but whether she has brains or not remains to be seen."
"..."
As Xiao Chen relentlessly flirted with her, Ya Fei could only smile helplessly.
Putting aside Xiao Chen's identity and strength, it's hard to dislike him just because of his top-notch appearance.
Ya Fei couldn't help but sigh, realizing that she really was still a creature that judged by appearances...
"So what do I need to do now?" Ya Fei stared at Xiao Chen with a slightly nervous expression; this was the question she most wanted to ask.
It would be good to work alongside a powerful figure like Xiao Chen, but she also had her own concerns and bottom lines.
"As usual, do what you're supposed to do. Don't worry, with me here, the Mittel family will be yours from now on." Xiao Chen shrugged.
But his calm voice made Ya Fei's breathing quicken.
"I look forward to our cooperation." Xiao Chen smiled and extended his hand.
"I will be at your service from now on," Consort Ya said with a graceful smile, extending her hand.
Nodding, Xiao Chen squeezed the delicate hand, then released it and stood up.
Ya Fei also quickly stood up.
"I was just joking. I believe in your abilities and your intelligence. Please help out with the Xiao family's business."
After saying that, Xiao Chen smiled lightly, turned around, and left decisively without any hesitation.
Standing there watching the young man's receding figure, Ya Fei shook her head with a wry smile and whispered, "I can't believe the Xiao family has an ancestor."
"I really don't understand why that girl from the Nalan family would break off her engagement with Xiao Yan. Sigh, Nalan Su will probably regret it so much he'll vomit blood later, won't he?"
