Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Compared to last time, He Liangcong had quietly raised Xiao Yingchun’s standing in his mind. He now truly regarded her as a business partner, not just a pretty girl who was nice to look at and easy to flirt with.

As a result, there was noticeably more respect in the way he spoke to her.

Dai Hengxin took the initiative to explain the auction arrangements.

“The first auction is scheduled for half a month from now. The venue has already been secured. I’ve hired a wedding planning company to handle the setup and reception, and Xiaomei is following up on that.

We’ll need an auctioneer, so I’ve contacted one of the top auctioneers in the country. She’s agreed to free up one day in her schedule to come over.

As for security, I reached out to a friend who runs a security company. He’s ex-military, and all the guards are retired special forces—reliable people…”

Dai Hengxin went on at length about everything he’d been handling over the past few days, until Xiao Yingchun began to feel a little guilty.

“Won’t all this affect business at your pawnshop?” she asked.

Dai Hengxin laughed. “Affect it how? I’m just making a few phone calls. It’s not like I have to handle everything personally.”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and added an explanation.

“When a company runs auctions, it needs someone to handle day-to-day errands. Xiaomei is a distant relative of mine, and she’s very meticulous, so I had her take care of the routine miscellaneous work.

Her salary comes out of my share of the profits—it won’t increase the company’s expenses.”

Xiao Yingchun immediately waved her hand. “No need!”

Seeing Dai Hengxin pause in surprise, she quickly explained, “Her salary should be paid from the company’s account.”

“Even though we’re a small auction house and won’t be handling multi-million-dollar antiques anytime soon, we can still afford to support one employee, can’t we? There’s no reason for you to shoulder it personally.”

He Liangcong nodded repeatedly when he heard this. “Right, right, all expenses should come from the company account. If that doesn’t work, I’ll cover it.

It’s just a young girl—how much could her monthly salary be? It’s not even enough to cover a bottle of wine for me…”

Dai Hengxin shot him a look, both amused and exasperated. “Alright, alright, I get it—you’re rich.”

“Fine then. Her salary will go through the company account. The company will pay her four thousand a month, and her social insurance and housing fund will continue to be handled through Xinlong Pawnshop, so there’s no need to duplicate those.”

“Can you stop flaunting your money like that just to annoy people?”

All three of them laughed.

The dishes were soon served. To their surprise, there was lobster fried rice, razor clams with caviar, braised sea cucumber with scallions…

-lobster fried rice

-razor clams with caviar

– braised sea cucumber with scallions

The entire table was filled with seafood.

He Liangcong was especially enthusiastic. “Sis, give this a try. I had the owner prepare it specially, tell me what you think.”

Xiao Yingchun tasted it and couldn’t help thinking: It’s delicious, sure, but this meal must cost several thousand at least, right?

Only a rich young master like He Liangcong would eat like this, never sparing expense and always going for the best.

Dai Hengxin shot He Liangcong at a glance. “This one’s on me today. Don’t try to steal the bill from me.”

He Liangcong looked at him, clearly unconvinced. “Old Dai, aren’t you being too formal? This is a restaurant I’ve invested in, how could I possibly let the two of you pay?”

Dai Hengxin replied flatly, “Then I won’t eat here again.”

Xiao Yingchun laughed and added, “Neither will I.”

“Hey, hey, you two don’t have to gang up on me like that, do you? What—are you really one family now?”

Dai Hengxin glanced at Xiao Yingchun. Though he said, “Don’t talk nonsense,” there was a smile in his eyes.

Xiao Yingchun paused, then said seriously, “This company belongs to the three of us. It’s not right to have you two paying all the time. How about this?
