Suddenly, his eyes stopped on an exquisite bronze ware, which had a unique shape and intricate patterns, and had a distinct style of the Warring States Period.

"Mr. Li, this bronze ware is one of the most exquisite Warring States artifacts I have ever seen." He Daqing said in a low voice, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Li Chengguang nodded, "Mr. He, you really have a unique vision. This bronze artifact is the highlight of this auction, and the bidding will be very fierce."

After the auction started, He Daqing and Li Chengguang waited nervously for the opportunity to bid. As the price climbed, the competition became more and more fierce. He Daqing remained calm and finally bought the bronze ware at a high price of 800,000 yuan.

After the auction, He Daqing and Li Chengguang returned to the hotel with the bronze artifacts they had bought. They carefully examined the bronze artifacts to confirm their authenticity and value. Li Chengguang said excitedly, "Mr. He, this bronze artifact is truly priceless. Thank you so much for your help."

He Daqing smiled and nodded, "Mr. Li, you're welcome. I'm glad to be able to help you."

Since then, He Daqing's reputation in the antique world has become even more famous, and more and more collectors and antique dealers have come to him to ask him to identify antiques. However, Zhao Yajing's attitude has not changed at all. She is still sarcastic and does not hide her disdain for He Daqing.

One day, Zhao Yajing walked into He Daqing's office and said coldly, "Mr. He, there is something I need to talk to you about."

He Daqing looked up at her and said calmly, "Zhao Yajing, please sit down."

After Zhao Yajing sat down, there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Mr. He, I heard that you recently bought a bronze artifact. Do you think you are amazing?"

He Daqing frowned slightly, but remained calm, "Zhao Yajing, as an antique appraiser, this is my job."

Zhao Yajing sneered, "Work? Have you forgotten that the interests of the company are the most important? Is it really necessary for you to spend so much money on auctioning antiques?"

He Daqing felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he took a deep breath and said calmly: "Zhao Yajing, every antique has its unique value. What we do is to inherit and protect historical culture, which is our responsibility."

Zhao Yajing snorted disdainfully, "Responsibility? It's just your own fault.

Just tell him about Shi Xiaojun's attempt to cooperate with Akang

He Daqing took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He knew that arguing with Zhao Yajing was useless, so he changed the subject, "Zhao Yajing, there is something I haven't mentioned to you, about Shi Xiaojun."

Zhao Yajing raised her eyebrows, obviously not interested in this topic, but still said, "Oh? What happened to him?"

He Daqing said in a deep voice, "Shi Xiaojun has been in contact with some criminals recently. I am worried that this will have an impact on the company."

Zhao Yajing sneered, "You are always so nosy. What does Shi Xiaojun's own affairs have to do with you?"

He Daqing's anger gradually rose, but he tried to control his emotions. "As colleagues, we have the responsibility to care about each other. Moreover, this matter may affect the company, so I have to pay attention to it."

Zhao Yajing waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, I don't want to hear this. If you have time, you should pay more attention to the company's performance."

He Daqing felt powerless as he watched her leave. He knew that Zhao Yajing would never understand his worries, but he had to do his best to protect the company and its employees.

A few days later, He Daqing received an unexpected call from A Kang, a well-known businessman in the antique world, but his methods were not so fair.

"Mr. He, long time no see." A Kang's voice was cunning.

He Daqing was slightly stunned, feeling a little uneasy, "Akang, what do you want from me?"

A Kang smiled and said, "Mr. He, I heard that you recently bought a bronze artifact. Are you interested in cooperating?"

He Daqing asked warily, "What do you mean?"

There was a hint of mystery in Akang's tone, "I have a supply of goods, all of which are high-quality. If we cooperate, we will definitely make a lot of money."

He Daqing frowned and said, "Akang, I have always been doing legitimate business and will not participate in any illegal activities."

Ah Kang smiled, "Mr. He, don't be so quick to refuse. In fact, Shi Xiaojun and I have already cooperated, and he is also very interested in this cooperation."

He Daqing was shocked. "Shi Xiaojun? Why would he cooperate with you?"

Akang said with a hint of pride, "He is in urgent need of funds, and I can provide it. We both get what we need, so why not?"

He Daqing realized the seriousness of the matter, "Akang, I advise you to stop. Shi Xiaojun doesn't know how to behave, he will mess things up."

Ah Kang snorted disdainfully, "Mr. He, you should worry about yourself. I already have enough evidence to prove that you are involved. If you don't cooperate, I will make the evidence public."

He Daqing said angrily, "You are threatening me!"

Ah Kang sneered, "Whatever you think. Mr. He, I hope you will think about it carefully. I will contact you again."

After hanging up the phone, He Daqing felt a headache. He knew that things were much more complicated than he had imagined. Shi Xiaojun's actions not only implicated himself, but also might bring huge trouble to the company.

He decided to consult Yang Shumao immediately. After listening to him, Yang Shumao frowned and said, "Mr. He, Akang is very cunning. We can't be fooled by him easily."

He Daqing nodded, "Yes, we must find a way to get out of this. Go investigate Akang's background first and see if you can find his weaknesses."

Yang Shumao took action immediately. After several days of investigation, he found that Akang did not have any strong backing and his threats were just bluffs.

After hearing this, He Daqing decided to take the initiative. He found a friend who was somewhat famous in the legal community and asked him to help collect evidence of A Kang's illegal activities and prepare to sue him.

At the same time, He Daqing also decided to talk to Shi Xiaojun. He knew that Shi Xiaojun was not a bad person, but was blinded by interests.

One rainy night, He Daqing came to Shi Xiaojun's residence. After knocking on the door, Shi Xiaojun opened the door and looked a little surprised, "Mr. He, why are you here?"

He Daqing walked into the room and said bluntly, "Xiaojun, let's talk."

Shi Xiaojun had a complicated expression, "Mr. He, I know what you are going to say, but I really have no choice."

He Daqing sighed, "Xiaojun, I understand that you have difficulties, but if you cooperate with Akang, you will only push yourself and the company into a dangerous abyss."
