"You know, considering how far away it is, I couldn't possibly go to Porcelain Capital just for an auction, so I turned it down."
"But this auction was organized by an old friend of mine, and I've always felt bad about it. You're going to Porcelain Capital on official business, and I didn't want to bring it up, but since the Oil Rat has already run off, you don't need to hurry back with it. Why not stay in Porcelain Capital for a couple more days and attend the auction for me? What do you say?"
Huo Sining couldn't refuse Zhou Shitao's suggestion.
Once she received the photo of the invitation letter from Zhou Shitao, Huo Sining contacted the old friend he mentioned. After conveying Zhou Shitao's message, Mr. Shi Ronghe, the old gentleman, laughed immediately upon learning Huo Sining's intent.
