Chapter 5: Auction House

Then please go back and submit your resume, and come back once you receive the interview notification

"I heard that your company is hiring appraisers, and I am here to apply for the position." Although Luo Tian felt somewhat frustrated, he could understand that working at Xie’s Auction House would undoubtedly be a source of great accomplishment. Moreover, since the receptionist was seated, it was hard to gauge her physique, but she was quite attractive. Beautiful women always tend to have an air of superiority, so he could comprehend her demeanor.

No, there is none. Luo Tian had little experience in job interviews, and he immediately realized that he had acted too rashly

There is another path to take; it seems you seldom come this way. Xu Ming's face showed no signs of sadness or anger. He turned to the workers: "Open the box for inspection"

Glancing at the boxes lying haphazardly on the ground, Xie Ming's expression turned ashen: "How could you be so careless?"

Enough!" Xie Ming looked at Luo Tian: "Who are you? You are not supposed to be here."

What happened? A steady and resonant voice came through, and everyone turned to look at the newcomer, instinctively parting to make way for the person.

The worker pointed at Luo Tian and said, "It's all this guy, suddenly rushing over, that's why ... ... "

Indeed, the receptionist let out a muffled sound, and after a long while, her eyes finally left the computer screen to glance at Luo Tian, asking somewhat impatiently: "Do you need something?"

These are all priceless porcelain items, can you afford to compensate for them! The worker was actually quite apprehensive, and strictly speaking, he also bore some responsibility. Now, he was seething with anger and began to push and shove Luo Tian.

He walked towards the bus stop, which was located near the side entrance of the auction house, a necessary route for transporting auction items. Unfortunately, Luo Tian was unaware of this; he arrived with great ambition, as if fueled by adrenaline, only to be met with a firm rejection. Disheartened, he quickly left, only to unexpectedly collide with a worker who was transporting auction items. The worker lost his balance, and a packaged box fell to the ground with a loud thud. Looking at the worker, his face had turned pale as snow. He grabbed Luo Tian by the collar and exclaimed, "Hey, are you blind while walking? Do you know what’s inside this?"

Luo Tian looked up, his heart pounding. The person who had arrived was none other than Xie Ming, the head of the auction house. That face, which he had seen countless times on television programs and in magazines, was now vividly before him. At this moment, Luo Tian felt utterly embarrassed; meeting in such a manner was truly unexpected. Under normal circumstances, they should have met during an interview.

After a night of intense study, Luo Tian, holding his qualification certificate, boarded bus number 96 and rode it all the way to the final stop. Upon getting off, Luo Tian mustered his courage and stepped into the Xie Auction House.

Looking at the large pile of books in front of him, Luo Tianfei not only did not feel overwhelmed, but instead smiled broadly. The bright red Level 4 Antique Appraiser Qualification Certificate was already in his hands, instantly filling him with joy. He felt that he had taken another step forward in life. Motivated by this, he became even more dedicated to accumulating knowledge.

The Xie Auction House had long been on Luo Tian's radar, but unfortunately, his former self lacked the courage to step into this realm. With his self-taught associate degree and work experience, he couldn't even pass the first hurdle. In fact, even now, Luo Tian's heart was pounding incessantly.

Luo Tian walked to the front desk, where the receptionist was intently focused on the computer, completely unaware of the newcomer.

At this moment, the personnel from the security company responsible for the protection also gathered around, preparing to open the box. It was not up to the workers and Luo Tian to make the decision. Upon hearing Luo Tian's suggestion, the originally angry workers calmed down, and everyone on site exchanged glances, appearing uncertain about what to do.

Other ongoing tasks also gathered around, presenting a determined appearance as if they would not rest until completed. Luo Tian felt a jolt in his heart; today was truly unfortunate, as he had forgotten to consult the old calendar before leaving home

The auction house has always been a place of longing for Luo Tian. From the day he stepped into the world of antiques, he yearned to work in an auction house, for there he could encounter numerous rare and precious antiques, something that the ghost market could never offer. To put it plainly, Luo Tian genuinely loves this profession, not merely for the money. Of course, to say it is entirely for passion would be disingenuous; one still has to make a living, especially in these times of soaring prices.

"But the bus stop is over there; I have to go over to catch the bus." Luo Tian was a bit confused. Why is there a road that I can't use? Why does Xie Ming have no composure at all?

Have you received a phone notification? The receptionist glanced at Luo Tian without raising her eyes and continued to focus on the computer screen

The tone of the receptionist left no room for negotiation. Luo Tian understood that the more powerful the company, the more complex the processes. Even thieves only break into unguarded places, don't they? Luo Tian thanked her dejectedly and then walked out of the auction house. It seemed he needed to go back and prepare thoroughly before returning.

Luo Tian's eyes lit up, unboxing? Wonderful, having the opportunity to glimpse the precious auction items from the Xie Auction House is truly a rare chance

Hello, miss. Luo Tian steeled himself to greet her; this receptionist clearly exuded an air of arrogance, making her likely difficult to deal with

Luo Tianli felt at a disadvantage, only able to allow the other party to act as he retreated, while waving his hands in an attempt to stop the workers' rough actions. "Master, please don't be anxious. Let's first take a look at what's inside, shall we?"

It is uncertain whether it is due to the acceptance of that fragmented energy, but Luo Tian not only opened his eyes, but also significantly improved his physical fitness. Even after frequently staying up late, he does not feel fatigued. Under such favorable conditions, the desire that has been buried in Luo Tian's heart finally has the urge to break free. Now, perhaps it is the best time to embark on a journey.

The Xie Auction House is a well-known company in the industry. Since it is named after the Xie family, the owner is surnamed Xie and is called Xie Ming. Luo Tian has seen Xie Ming's interviews in collector magazines more than once. Although he is not yet forty, he has already established the Xie Auction House as a prominent entity, renowned throughout the country. Each auction held attracts numerous domestic and international business elites. He is also a highly influential appraisal expert. If he could work at this company, it would be a tremendous opportunity for enhancing his professional capabilities.
