Teacher Feng went to answer the phone, and Gu Mian didn't dare move anything in the room, so she just sat quietly on one side waiting. (Cotton Candy)

  It wasn't until about ten minutes later that Mr. Feng returned to the room: "Time is not early, I think it's time to get off work too, tomorrow is the auction, and we need to come early."

  "Uh-huh." Gu Ming nodded and stood up, following him out of the room.

  The rooms where the auction items are placed have password locks. People who don't know the password can't get in. Only Director Zhou and Teacher Feng know this password.

  When Teacher Feng locked the door, Gu Mei hurriedly took a step to one side to avoid suspicion, and only followed him out of here after he had finished locking up.

  Most people in the auction house had already gone home, and others in the appraisal room had left early after finishing their work. Gu Mian and Mr. Feng were the last to leave.

  Bai Fangfang hadn't finished work yet, busy helping to perfect the auction setup, Gu Ming waved goodbye to Teacher Feng and went to the setup site to wait for Bai Fangfang.

  "Gu Mian, just wait a moment, it'll be fine soon." Bai Fangfang handed Gu Mian a bottle of drink.

  "Alright, you go ahead and attend to your business." Gu Mei didn't want to stand in the way of others at the venue either, so she went to a nearby lounge to wait.

  She took a rough glance around and found that there was no one in the rest room, so she casually picked a slightly secluded sofa to sit down, pulled out her phone and started browsing. The place she chose was covered by a curtain, vaguely making it hard for people to see clearly, if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice someone sitting here.

  The rest room is for people who come to participate in the auction to rest before the opening, and the sofas are all imported from Italy with real leather, soft and hard, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

  Not long after, the door of the rest room was pushed open and someone came in. The person seemed to have not noticed that there were other people in the rest room and started talking to the person next to them: "I heard that tomorrow some rich young masters are coming, if one of them takes a liking to me, then I won't have to work so hard every day. Just now the manager scolded me again, I really want to hit him, just looking at him makes me disgusted."

  "Go, you can only think about it, the story of a sparrow turning into a phoenix is just that. Rich young masters may play with Cinderella, but when it comes to marriage, they still look for women from similar backgrounds. However... if you can really capture their hearts and don't mind, you can also be a second wife!" A woman with a slightly shrill voice said with a smile.

  "You think it's ancient times, and you're talking about having a second wife? Just call her a mistress then!" The person who spoke first said.

  "We want quality and civilization, but it's hard to hear. Nowadays, the second room is even more comfortable than many big houses. Do you still remember Zheng Juan? She was just a cleaner here, but she had a pretty face. With good luck, she hooked up with a rich guy, and now they eat and drink well every day. The other day I saw her shopping at the mall, not even looking at prices, just letting the salesperson wrap things up for her." The woman with the shrill voice said sourly.

  Gu Mei listened to the conversation between the two women outside. She couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking that being a mistress was nothing to be envied. In the end, it's just about relying on one's looks to win men over and live off their favors. Enjoying luxuries now, but if she only relied on her face without any other skills, who knows what would become of her when she grew old?

  She glanced over and saw two women, one tall and one short, sitting on the sofa not far away, chatting enthusiastically. The sharp voice seemed to be from the woman with short hair, while the one with big wavy long hair was probably the one who complained first.

  These two people she had seen before, should be staff members of the auction house. Just don't know what their names are.

  "Alas, but her sugar daddy is an old man who could be her father. I'm not interested in old men at all. If there's a handsome and rich young master willing to find me, maybe I'll consider it too. Anyway, it's not like we're getting married, he can have fun, and so can I." The big wavy-haired girl took out a small mirror and tidied up her hair.

  "That's right, didn't Du Hao, the young master of the Du Group, get married recently? He's supposed to come here tomorrow too. I've met him once before, and he was really handsome and wealthy! It's just a pity that this golden son-in-law already belongs to someone else." The short-haired girl let out a slightly regretful sigh.

  Gu Xiang originally thought it was a bit unscrupulous to sit here eavesdropping on others' conversations, and she was torn between leaving before they said too much or pretending not to be there to avoid an awkward encounter. But she never expected to hear Du Hao's name from their mouths, and what's more, Du Hao is coming to the Haiyun Auction House tomorrow!

  It's really a narrow road for sworn enemies.

  She immediately dispelled her intention of going out and held her breath to quietly listen to the conversation between the two women outside.

  "How could I not know, our auction this time, the Du Group is a major client, those women are almost crazy, all with ulterior motives waiting for an opportunity!" The woman with big wavy hair snorted and continued: "Not to mention what they look like, each one looking so wanton, as if they haven't seen a man in hundreds of years, it's really embarrassing."

  "Don't mind them, what I want to tell you is that I heard Du Hao had a girlfriend before he got married, and she was like a real-life Cinderella. The two of them were already preparing for marriage, but then his family arranged for him to marry a woman from a wealthy family, and he just abandoned Cinderella." The short-haired woman chuckled.

  "Really?" The long-haired girl with big waves hummed softly, and then said: "I really haven't heard of this, but it's also understandable. Let you choose between a prince and a beggar, you know what to choose is the best. Du Shi Enterprise has a lot of money, after Du Hao takes over his father's class, he wants as many Cinderellas as he wants, marrying a wife who can help him is the right thing to do. Besides, how do you know that the other party abandoned Cinderella? Maybe they have already hidden her in a golden house and are waiting for you to gossip."

  "It's true, if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't want to give up on a man like Du Hao either." The short-haired woman said with a smile.

  Gu Mei heard this and felt a surge of nameless anger rising up in her chest, almost unable to hold back from blurting out a curse.

  What's called a man who can't let go of Du Hao, that kind of unprincipled man, she Gu Mian doesn't care about!

  Golden house hide beauty? Get out of here with your golden house hide beauty! Go and hide yourself with Du Hao instead!

  She's somehow managed to offend someone, and now she's getting shot at even when lying down. That damned Du Hao, this is all because of him!

  The woman with long curly hair put away her mirror and said to the short-haired woman, "Let's not talk about distant things. In our auction house, this kind of thing is not uncommon either. I don't know how many women rely on this kind of relationship to get in. But I've heard that there are big problems with those new summer workers who were just recruited."

  "Hmph, it's just a face, what's there to show off about. In the end, if you don't have real skills, you'll still get kicked out, thinking that our auction house is their family business." The short-haired woman said disdainfully in response to the long-haired woman's ambiguous words.

  "Alright, alright, let's hurry up and get out of here, I really don't want to face that bald manager!" The woman with the big wavy hair gathered her things and called out to the short-haired woman as they walked out.

  Until those two women thoroughly left the rest room, Gu Mian did not make a single sound.

  She suddenly thought of the series of strange things that had happened since she was transferred to the appraisal room. The overly enthusiastic Director Zhou, others who were a little jealous because of her reuse, and the two women who just left mentioning the summer worker problem, plus Du Hao's return tomorrow to participate in the auction.

  All of this couldn't help but make her think of one thing. Could it be that the person who arranged all of this behind the scenes was Du Hao?

  She had already cut ties with Du Hao a long time ago, how could Du Hao have gone to such great lengths to arrange all this for her?

  Moreover, considering Du Hao's personality, if he wanted to help her, he shouldn't have been so obvious about it. At the very least, he wouldn't let her easily arouse other people's jealousy here. This doesn't seem like helping her, but rather adding trouble for her.

  But if it wasn't Du Hao, then who was it? Was this meant to help her or a trap set for her?

  Gu Mei's mind was a bit confused, she was just an ordinary student, the most outstanding thing she had done was to have a romantic relationship with Du Hao, a rich boy, which almost ended in marriage, and shouldn't have attracted any strange people.

  She hasn't figured it out yet on her side. Last night's Bai Fangfang came over and was ready to leave work together with her.

  Forget it, since you're already here, just make yourself at home. When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Now thinking so much is useless anyway.

  Gu Mei shook her head and left the auction house with Bai Fangfang.

  The next day, before dawn broke, Gu Mei got out of bed, applied a light makeup and went to the auction house.

  "Hurry up, the auction is going to start in two hours. " Zhou supervisor quickly assigned tasks to everyone and frowned when he saw that Gu Mian was still wearing his own clothes: "Gu Mian, didn't I say you need to follow the appraiser for final preparations later? Your clothes are here, hurry up and change into them just in case."

  "Yes." Gu Mei could only nod.

  "Right, remember to be careful, if it's something you took out, then you'll have to sign for confirmation, and if there's any problem in the end, the one who signed will be responsible." Manager Zhou reminded.

  "I know." Gu Mian hastily nodded, this point had been mentioned by Teacher Feng yesterday.

  "It's fine if you know, this can't be taken lightly." Manager Zhou glanced at his watch and muttered: "It's really late, why hasn't Old Feng arrived yet?"

  Gu Xiang also found it strange. Teacher Feng was always punctual and usually arrived at this time, but today there was no sign of him.

  "Never mind, you go change your clothes first and come over directly later. The auction won't wait for anyone, you go help out first." Manager Zhou took out his phone and started calling Teacher Feng.

  "Ring... ring... ring..." Mr. Feng's phone kept ringing with no one answering, only transmitting a busy tone.
