Xiao Yingchun nodded. “Yes. Take a look and see which pieces can go up for auction and which can’t.”

Dai Hengxin hesitated for a moment. “Can I call my uncle over?”

Xiao Yingchun was speechless. Is there really that much stuff that you need backup?

Well—if you’re calling for help, then call for help.

After making the call, Dai Hengxin began examining the items first.

Once he finished, he picked out several pieces. “These two porcelain jars, and these items—put them away for now. Don’t show them to my uncle.”

Xiao Yingchun frowned. “Are these not worth much?”

“No,” he said. “They’re too valuable. To auction items like these domestically, they’d need to go through official channels. Yours… would be hard to explain.”

Apparently, being too valuable was also a problem.

With a sigh, Xiao Yingchun carried the selected items upstairs and stored them in the Cross-Time Supermarket’s storage space.

Once put away, no one but Xiao Yingchun could see them.

When Dai Wangnian arrived, he was also shocked by what he saw. The two of them examined the items closely—flashlights, magnifying glasses, every detail scrutinized—before reaching a conclusion.

All of them were antiques, stylistically dated between the Tang and Song dynasties.

With their excellent condition and intact forms, each piece would start at no less than one hundred thousand.

That meant the total value of the collection was at least several million.

If handled well during the auction, breaking ten million would be completely normal.

Dai Wangnian was genuinely impressed. “To bring out so many pieces at once—and all of them unseen on the market before—Miss Xiao, you’re truly something else.”

Xiao Yingchun smiled and waved it off. “I’m a shareholder too. Of course I have to do my part.”

Dai Hengxin was already buzzing with excitement. “These, plus the gold-and-gem jewelry from last time, are more than enough to support a full auction.”

“Especially this entire piece of kesi silk,” he added. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen an entire piece in such perfect condition…”

Dai Wangnian was just as excited. Seeing so many fine pieces at once was no different from viewing a top-tier exhibition.

What was more, he had no doubt that he was the first expert in the country to lay eyes on this entire batch.

After giving it some thought, Dai Hengxin said, “Yingchun, I’m planning to have these items photographed over the next couple of days, so we can make a catalog for promotion later. Is that alright with you?”

Xiao Yingchun nodded. “No problem. Do as you see fit.”

Dai Hengxin grew even more energized. “Then I’ll bring the consignment contract over later and we’ll sign it.”

Although Xiao Yingchun was one of the shareholders, she was also the owner of the items themselves, so signing a formal contract was only proper.

After the contract was signed, Dai Hengxin brought out a pile of boxes and carefully packed the items one by one before taking them away.

Xiao Yingchun stayed behind to mind the shop.

During that time, Ge Chunyu stopped by once. Between the lines of her words was the same old question—since Xiao Yingchun was making money now, could she lend her a little over sixty thousand to pay off the debt first?

Xiao Yingchun refused, and made it clear that if Ge Chunyu tried to make an issue out of it, she would not take responsibility for that sixty thousand at all.

From a legal standpoint, she had never been obligated to assume any of the debt in the first place.

After crying poor and playing the pity card failed—and afraid Xiao Yingchun might go back on her word—Ge Chunyu eventually gave up.

Taking advantage of the next few days, Xiao Yingchun had the supermarket’s ceiling redone and new lighting installed. She also replaced all the shelves and added a four-seat table and chairs near the entrance.

To the public, she said it was so customers who bought instant noodles and other convenience foods would have a place to eat.

After the renovations, the entire shop looked completely refreshed.

Once that was done, it was time to respond to the lawsuit.

With his wide network, Dai Hengxin learned that Xiao Yingchun was about to appear in court and proactively arranged for her to consult with a lawyer friend, helping her prepare in advance.

After receiving the lawyer’s guidance, Xiao Yingchun had a clear understanding of the situation.
