Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

But this matter was not something he should be involved in, so he pretended not to know anything.

Meifang then asked something about Ma Zhen.

This wasn't really Lin Ran pretending not to know, but Ma Zhen was indeed a mysterious person, and he didn't know much about him.

But he believed that Ma Zhen was a decent person.

As for why the people in Hong Kong City called him the King of Thieves, Lin Ran didn't know.

But he didn't tell him about the incident where his ID was stolen just now. This could be regarded as seeking bad luck.

Instead, he mentioned that they met at an auction.

Meifang looked unbelieving.

"This is the first time I've seen him trust someone so much."

Lin Ran felt that Ma Zhen was indeed not a person who trusted others easily, but it was not true that he was the only one he trusted.

I saw a woman at Ma Zhen's house before. It seemed that they had a very close relationship, but Ma Zhen looked just like her brother.

The other is Mr. Xu.

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Lin Ran discovered that they were indeed not from the same world.

Just when he was feeling embarrassed, Ma Zhen came over.

Seeing Ma Zhen coming over, Meifang even tidied her hair.

"Are you bothering you two?" Ma Zhen actually smiled.

Lin Ran wanted to throw the wine directly into his face, the joke was on his own head.

Before he could refute, Meifang hurriedly said: "Brother Zhen, I just saw Lin Ran sitting here drinking alone and bored, so come over and have a chat with him."

Lin Ran looked at Ma Zhen with an expression of "That's it". If he was talking nonsense, he would have called him Brother Zhen.

Ma Zhen laughed: "It's just a joke. By the way, is Brother Lin free now?"

"Yes." Lin Ran felt that Ma Zhen had other things to ask him about.

What a headache.

What he wants to do for himself is certainly not easy.

"Then come with me, let's go somewhere else to talk." Ma Zhen said.

Meifang wanted to follow her, but Ma Zhen said, "It's some business matters. I'll come drink with you later."

"really?"

"Ah."

Meifang stopped, with a happy expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ran had an indescribable feeling.

It was rumored that she had a close relationship with another male celebrity, but it turned out that it was just a topic arranged by the agency.

The two of them held wine glasses and walked towards the conference room.

Ma Zhen didn't know if there were eyes behind his back. He noticed the change in the expression on Lin Ran's face and asked, "What? Boss Lin is also interested in Hong Kong female stars?"

"What did you say?" Lin Ran rolled his eyes at him, "I just thought of an old saying."

“You must break the flowers when they are in full bloom. Don’t wait until there are no flowers left to break the branches.”

"Haha, are you trying to persuade me to study hard? I'm already past this age."

"Don't pretend to be stupid with me." Lin Ran said.

Lin Ran had read about Meifang's tragic life before, but felt a little sorry.

I didn’t expect that this matter would be related to people around me.

However, this kind of thing cannot be forced.

Lin Ran decided to put this matter behind him and not get involved in anything that had nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, Ma Zhen had no intention of continuing the conversation on this topic.

The two people arrived at the conference room, and Ma Zhen closed the door of the conference room.

In the conference room, the enamel colors from just now are placed.

Lin Ran already knew what Ma Zhen wanted to do. Now that the authenticity had been confirmed, the next step was to convince Chen Yiming.

Liu Jinhai was also in the conference room.

As today's protagonists, they should be very happy.

If the auction house opened, it would bring them endless glory and wealth.

But if Lin Ran hadn't come forward today, they might have been tricked by Zheng Xuan and his group.

Not only has the reputation not been achieved, but it may become the laughing stock of the industry.

Liu Jinhai took notes with paper and pen beside him, while Lin Ran recounted the details of the appraisal.

He wrote down every point in his notebook. With so much evidence for identification, it was easy to negotiate a return.

Liu Jinhai stood up again and expressed his gratitude to Lin Ran.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for helping us avoid a trap today."

"What are you going to do next?" Lin Ran was already numb to the words of thanks.

The problem has been identified, now how to solve it?

Of course, Liu Jinhai's idea was to go directly to the door for a confrontation and return the things.

But Ma Zhen and Lin Ran had another idea.

As the saying goes, a shopping mall is like a battlefield, so give the opponent a hard-to-get approach.

They will send this fine replica to the auction house, which belongs to the original layout.

But after the layout, people must be arranged to close the net.

It is a good thing for them to see the trap and gain an advantage.

It can be completely arranged around this trap.

"What should I do with that thing?" Liu Jinhai asked.

The three people talked about the layout in the conference room.

Since the other party wants to play dirty tricks with them, they naturally have to stay with them until the end.

Liu Jinhai listened with a smile on his face. These two people were really conspirators.

"If we don't rush for a while, we can take a long-term approach and catch big fish." Lin Ran said.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin, thank you so much today! It's getting late now, so I'll treat you to dinner tonight to express my gratitude," Liu Jinhai said.

Lin Ran refused directly.

He didn't want to sit and eat with these two people, and they were not in the same circle whether they had common topics or not.

"You have just opened today, and there are still many things to deal with. Let's talk about it when we have time. There is no rush about eating." Lin Ran made an excuse to decline.

They do still have a lot of things to deal with, such as the guests who come to the banquet today and need to make arrangements.

Liu Jinhai also wanted to express his hope to stay, but Ma Zhen took the initiative and said: "Okay, we are not considered outsiders. Let's eat when we have time to cook."

"Yes." Lin Ran said, he liked Ma Zhen's attitude.

Before leaving the auction house, Lin Ran said to Ma Zhen: "Brother Ma, please take what I told you before to heart."

"Which one?"

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Meifang in the distance.

Ma Zhen immediately cleared his throat and pretended not to understand.

"By the way, Brother Lin, Xiao Xu seems to have something to ask you. I hope you can go to the museum when you are free."

Lin Ran was happy when he heard this. They all called him Mr. Xu, and only Ma Zhen called him Xiao Xu, which directly reduced the others' status to that of their grandchildren.

Moreover, this Ma Zhen is really a trouble-maker.

Not only did he come to Lin Ran when he had something to do, he even made arrangements for his apprentice.

But fortunately, there shouldn't be anything troublesome at the museum, it should just be the appraisal of some antiques.

It just so happened that he didn't have anything particularly busy during this period, so he could just ask when he went to the museum tomorrow.

After nodding in agreement, he said goodbye to Ma Zhen.
