Before anyone said anything, the pleasantly-surprised Old Man Yingasked, “Miss, so were you able to bring him back? I want to see!”

“See? See what?” Cheng Xiao Xiao waved her hand, “You still got work todo!”

“Hehe, that’s small task. I will continue with the auction right away!”

Old Man Ying seemed very eager to find out the whereabout of theiron-armed bear so he anxiously wanted to get back to the auction. Before hecould bang his gavel again, someone shouted out, “Wait a minute, I have aquestion for Maiden Cheng!”

“You old thing! Are you trying to cause trouble? Do you want me to tossyou out?” Old Man Ying was now back to his stone-cold face.

“Let him talk!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao. She looked straight at thismartial king and asked, “What is the matter? Is this still about us beingunfair?”

“Exactly. Evidently Maiden Cheng is already aware of our conundrum here.We were told that Maiden Cheng was in charge of this auction in it’s entirety,so we have to ask you for an answer.”

This old man, even though he was a martial king, dare not underestimateCheng Xiao Xiao and he was polite in the way he talked to her.

Cheng Xiao Xiao casted him a glance and said, “This was never ‘fair’ tobegin with. You should have been aware of the number of attendance today. Oursupplies are limited, naturally not everybody will be able to go home withsomething. That is to be expected!”

“Alright, Maid Cheng, that may be true, but why can’t you put aside aportion for us instead of wholesaling all of them? We weren’t even given achance to make a purchase. It’s not like we can’t afford it!”

“But….”

“No buts!” Cheng Xiao Xiao cut him off, “I know what you want to say butyou can only blame yourself for not coming prepared. With your age andexperience, you should understand the different between a public sale andretail. All public sales sell in bulk. So if you want to attend and can’tafford the bulk cost, you could have organized and formed a group prior to poolall your resources together to compete. Then you can divide up the goodsaccording to each person’s contribution. That way you will be able to have anopportunity to make a purchase.

“If you can’t even think of that, how could you cry about us being notfair here? I don’t think the problem lies with us being unfair; I think it’sbecause you weren’t smart enough to come up with a solution. If you haveorganized into a 100 or 200 people group, you might be able to win one or twobids. Afterall we have 6 shares of each item, and you won’t have to leaveempty-handed. Am I right?”

“…….”

Listening to Cheng Xiao Xiao, all the unaffiliated felt ashamed. Theyunderstood that Cheng Xiao Xiao was telling the truth, they simply didn’t havea solution to their problem before the start of the event.

They must admit that this Maiden Cheng was not somebody one couldoverlook.

Zhu Xiangyu was staring straight at Cheng Xiao Xiao the entire time. Theyoung woman who were able to handle the potentially dangerous situation withease made him felt very unsettled.

Zhu Xiangyu was a prideful man. He was over 20 years old and way pa.s.sedthe marriage age. He has yet to find a woman that he was interested in. Hedidn’t want just a trophy wife or a wife of high standing. He didn’t wantsomeone who’s all emotions and no intelligent. He wanted his partner in life topossess beauty, intelligence, and wittiness. He would not accept someone who’smissing even one of those qualities and he has yet to meet anyone like that inthis life time.
