Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

When Tan Ron saw Zhuang Liu, she would unconsciously smile. “Why are you so late?”

Zhuang Liu passed a box to Tan Rou. “I took this, but I was caught in a traffic jam, so I came late. Has the auction started?”

“Not yet,” Tan Rou said.

Zhuang Liu showed Tan Rou the contents of his box. It was a pocket watch with blue and green gems inlaid on it. When he opened it, the needle inside could still turn.

“Avery beautiful pocketwatch. Is its timing accurate?” Tan Rou asked.

Zhuang Liu said, “Yes. Since it was created, it has never stopped spinning. It has been spinning for more than too years.”

Tan Rou was also a little surprised. It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen a pocket watch before, but it was the first time she had seen a pocket watch that still worked after a hundred years. Hence, she took a few more glances and even compared the time to see if it was accurate.

Seeing that she liked it, the Zhuang family prepared to give it to Tan Rou, but Tan Rou didn’t want it. She didn’t have the habit of wearing a pocket watch. Moreover, this pocket watch was ancient. Someone must have worn it before. She didn’t like things that strangers had worn.

After Zhuang Liu knew what she was thinking, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “I’m not asking you to wear a pocket watch. Moreover, this pocket watch is obviously a man’s style. It doesn’t suit you at all. What I mean is that you can take it apart and study the mechanical mechanism. This pocket watch can spin for more than a hundred years, so it must have its advantages. If you can get some inspiration from it, then you can use the pocket watch.”

Tan Rou was tempted for a moment. However, this pocket watch was very exquisite and had a long history. Once she took it apart, this pocket watch would be useless.

“I don’t want it. You should take it to auction.” Tan Rou was looking forward to the auction price.

The auction started at 7 pm. The first item was provided by Old Lady Tao. It was a very beautiful pink bottle that had been used by an ancient emperor.

Everyone’s eyes were on the bottle, but they didn’t dare to bid for it because it was a last-minute event tonight. No one knew what kind of collectibles there were. If they bid for one collectible at a high price, what if they liked the next one even more?

Of course, if the person participating in the auction was very rich, then this would not be a problem.

In the end, the vase was bought by Shen Jing for five million. “Our house just happens to be lacking a flower vase. This vase is really suitable.”

The others could only silently envy Shen Jing for being rich. If they spent five million to buy the bottle, they would definitely hide it well. They would not take it out at all, let alone use it as a vase.

The second auction item was one of the items that Shen Jing and Zhuang Yan had brought over. It was a painting that was 300 years old.

Grandpa Tao liked calligraphy and painting, so he bought this painting.

After bidding for a few more pieces, it was time for the set of jewelry that Tan Rou and Tian Tian had created together. There were too many treasures in front, and they were very precious. This made Tian Tian feel embarrassed to take out her jewelry.

Tan Rou could tell that Tian Tian was a little nervous. Hence, she said, “It’s alright. If no one bids for it later, I’ll pay for it.”

Tian Tian felt a little relieved. “I’ll buy it with you.”

Tan Rou was no longer conflicted because she believed that this set of jewelry would definitely be sold.

Sure enough, as soon as this set of jewelry was displayed, all the noble ladies present were attracted by it. They all raised their signs and bid, wanting to buy this set of jewelry.

In the end, Shen Jingyu bought the set of jewelry at a high price. Mrs. Tao had wanted to snatch it from Shen Jing, but when she remembered that it was designed by her daughter and daughter-in-law together, she was not in a hurry to get it. She could ask her daughter and daughter-in-law to design another set for her.

Shen Jing pulled Mrs. Tao’s hand to the room where the auction items were placed. “I saw that you liked this set of jewelry just now, so I’ll give it to you.”

“Take it. If I want it, I can get Tiantian and Xiao Rou to make another set,” Mrs. Tao declined.

However, when they saw the box for the second time, they found that the bracelet and earring were gone, leaving only a necklace.
