133: They're here.
The two of them didn't expect Qin Yun to still stick to this condition.
Previously, regarding this condition proposed by Qin Yun, they thought he was overestimating himself.
Now, hearing about transporting the containers back to the plaza,
they believed this was Qin Yun being magnanimous, disdaining to fuss over it with them.
"Yes, yes, we will definitely transport the containers back exactly as they were."
"If we didn't even agree to this condition, we wouldn't be human."
Having escaped disaster without paying much of a price, the two were very satisfied.
In front of so many Big Shots, even if Qin Yun drove them away and seized the warehouses,
they would have accepted it submissively, not daring to say a single word of dissent.
This request from Qin Yun was already the best possible outcome for them.
The Tycoons weren't particularly surprised by this.
Although Qin Yun was young, he didn't have the typical youthful hostility or intolerance for flaws.
To be so merciful to enemies who had offended him several times, he truly lived up to being a rising star in the Treasure Hunting Circle.
None of them possessed such a high level of mental cultivation.
Of course, the Tycoons had hoped Qin Yun would deal a heavy blow to the two bosses who broke the rules.
They would have been more than happy to do it on Qin Yun's behalf.
That way, Qin Yun would owe them a favor.
However, since Qin Yun had spoken, they didn't have any further thoughts.
"Keep a close eye on them. If these two dare to sneak away again, I'll hold you responsible!"
A Big Shot casually gave an order to the port personnel and then walked up to Qin Yun.
"Mr. Qin, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave. If anything else comes up, feel free to contact us."
"Indeed, it's our honor to participate in the Warehouse Auction you initiated. Don't be too polite; just come to us directly if you need anything."
"If you hold another Warehouse Auction of this scale, don't forget us."
...They were very clear about Qin Yun's capabilities and value, so they interacted with him on equal footing.
"Everyone is being too kind. The Warehouse Auction's success belongs to everyone. I owe you all a favor for troubling you to come to the port so late at night."
"If you ever need my help in the future, just ask. I don't have great skills and certainly can't compare to you in other matters, but I can offer a bit of humble assistance when it comes to Warehouse Auctions."
Qin Yun said very gratefully.
Since the Big Shots were so polite to him, he couldn't let it go to his head.
If he didn't know how to conduct himself, the Big Shots wouldn't say anything on the spot, but there certainly wouldn't be a next time.
"Mr. Qin, you must be joking."
"You're truly too modest."
"We're all counting on you."
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the Big Shots bid Qin Yun a friendly farewell and departed.
Qin Yun then took a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the port Staff Member.
"This is what you deserve. There's not much money inside, but it represents my gratitude. Please, you must accept it."
The Big Shots could turn a blind eye to the port employee's contribution, but Qin Yun was different.
He was grateful to the employee who called to notify him, and he felt it was necessary to provide compensation.
If he took it for granted, who knows if the person would bother to tell him next time something happened.
"This... how could I possibly accept this?"
"Our Boss doesn't allow us to accept red envelopes while on duty."
While the employee voiced his refusal, his hands were quite honest, stuffing the red envelope directly into his pocket.
Based on his experience, this red envelope contained much more than what those two bosses had given him earlier.
As expected of the renowned Eastern Kid, he really treats people well.
This red envelope was worth more than a month's salary; he would keep a close eye on those three containers even if it meant not sleeping.
If those two bosses dared to take even a single item, he would notify Qin Yun immediately.
Qin Yun just smiled at the employee's acceptance of the red envelope and didn't say anything more.
"I hope you both behave yourselves."
After dropping those words in front of the two bosses, Qin Yun didn't give them another look and drove home with Julia.
"Qin, do you think those two would still dare to secretly haul away the warehouses?"
Julia was still a bit worried they might do something reckless, and she looked at Qin Yun as she asked.
"Those two are scared out of their wits. I expect that no matter how greedy they are, they won't dare touch those three containers!"
No one who makes it to middle management is a fool; they were just blinded by greed before. Now that the Big Shots have made them see reality, Qin Yun was certain they wouldn't dare make a move.
The next morning, at the plaza outside Fenway Park.
Although the Warehouse Auction had ended, they still came here to see what the situation was.
Qin Yun was the most dazzling newcomer in the Treasure Hunting Circle. If even he didn't get respect, then as the lowest tier of the Treasure Hunting Circle,
no one would care about their opinions even more.
Everyone knew that Qin Yun's words might not hold weight with the people from the Storage Company.
But they still harbored a sliver of hope.
What if Qin Yun could do it?
Qin Yun had created so many miracles in just the two or three months since his debut.
Perhaps Qin Yun would create another miracle today.
Arriving at the plaza, they saw that the three containers originally placed there were gone.
Knowing things looked bad, they thought Qin Yun must have been boasting.
"Sigh, we Treasure Hunters look glamorous on the surface, but in reality, we're nothing. It's the Storage Company people who broke the rules, yet they rely on their backing to ignore Qin Yun and everyone else's opinions, and we truly have no recourse."
"You really can't blame Qin Yun for this. Who knew those two would be so unsightly in their greed? They weren't satisfied with over three million dollars and even wanted to seize the warehouse Qin Yun had his eye on."
"Power allows one to do as they please. Moreover, we Treasure Hunters rely on the Storage Company for our livelihood; we can't really afford to flip the table."
"If we Treasure Hunters did something that clearly violated the rules, at the very least, we'd be banned for life from participating in Warehouse Auctions. More likely, the Storage Company would recover their losses and take us to court."
"This is a manifestation of the inequality between the two sides. No matter how skilled a Treasure Hunter is, how can one person alone be a match for a Storage Company?"
"Qin Yun has already done well enough. If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be able to speak clearly in front of a Storage Company Boss, let alone have all this happen."
...Although everyone had anticipated this situation, they were still deeply disappointed to see that the original three containers had vanished.
This meant that even the most famous Treasure Hunter in the Treasure Hunting Circle was no match for a single branch of a Storage Company.
While making everyone see the reality, it also dealt a heavy blow to their morale.
They shook their heads expressionlessly, the ambitious glint in their eyes fading as they turned to leave in disappointment.
So what if everyone made this Warehouse Auction in Borton City unique in the whole country? It was still ruthlessly trampled upon by a small branch company, stripping away all dignity.
Just as they were about to leave, dejected and lost, they heard cheers coming from the outskirts.
"They're here! They're here!"
Everyone was confused and turned to look outside, curious to see who exactly had arrived.
