My Waste Husband
Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209

That night, the charity auction of Yinzhou was held at a private clubhouse.

People who received the invitation were all big shots in Orafield Province.

Ranjeet, who wore a suit, followed Henry. It was funny to see such an expensive suit wrapped around Ranjeet's rounded body.

"Brother, the suit gives me a hard time," Ranjeet kept pulling the collar, "The pockets are fake. How can I put food in them?"

Henry rolled his eyes and said, "So that is what you intend to use the pockets for? Food?"

"Yes," Ranjeet nodded seriously, "If they are waterproof, I can even put soup in them."

"My mistakes," Henry looked apologetic, "I should give you a hat."

"That's right!" Ranjeet nodded, "Hat can hold a lot of stuff."

Even since they had met the night before, Henry had learned from their interaction that to communicate with Ranjeet, one couldn't use the normal logic.

They showed the invitation to the staff, and they

let Henry and Ranjeet in.

Before the auction, there was a cocktail party for people to socialize with each other.

As expected, Ranjeet dived right into the buffet table.

Henry walked around with a glass of wine in his hand. He was trying to eavesdrop on information about Enkidu Inc.

Enkidu Inc. held a great reputation among people.

Henry targeted a group of young people. They were the offsprings of the rich and powerful families. Their parents brought them here to experience the charity auction.

Henry walked toward them and lingered about to listen to their conversation.

"Bro, first time here?" A young man looked at Henry.

Henry gave him an embarrassed smile, "Yes, first time here. I don't really know how the thing works here."

Knowing that this was Henry had never been here before, the young people all smiled.

Sometimes, people with more experience tended to have a sense of superiority over other people.

Some people enjoyed flattering. They would rather live in a world where all the people thought highly

of themselves.

When newcomers showed up, they would look down on the newcomers."

Henry put on an intimidated smile, "Do you know how the auction works? I'm new and don't know the rules."

"Then let me tell you," the young man immediately smiled. He looked at all the girls and said, "That includes all of you who have been here before. "I've attended many Enkidu Inc.'s charity auctions. I'm telling you, the charity auction is your chance to ingratiate yourselves with the government. It is a piece of well- known information that the government is supporting Enkidu Inc. behind the curtain.

So the more money you spend here, the government will think more highly of you. You guys are all businessmen. I believe you all know what I'm saying, right?"

"Of course!"

"It seems that this auction is actually a competition among the patrons."

"No wonder so many people attend. There aren't so many opportunities to connect with the government."

Hearing the young man's word, the other young people all echoed as if they had seen through it all.

Henry did not say anything. The government was actually using the auction to test the companies' attitude to Enkidu Inc. artifact excavation business. The one who spent money here was sending a signal to the government that they wouldn't be in the way of Enkidu Inc's business.

Well, the young man just made his theory up so he could pretend that he knew everything.

Henry didn't care what was going on in those young people's minds. He was here for the information.

Listening to their conversation for a while, Henry asked, "Do you know where did Enkidu Inc. get those artifacts? That company is really something! It is very hard to get a permit from the government for even the smallest thing. But Enkidu Inc. can just dig wherever they want?"

People all looked at the young man who just answered Henry's first question, anticipating his answer. He should know a lot about Enkidu Inc. since he just mentioned that he had attended many of Enkidu Inc.'s charity auctions.

Feeling the attention, the young man was extremely satisfied. He showed a mysterious expression and whispered, "Good questions! Of course, I know why Enkidu Inc. could dig up so much good

stuff. It's just I can't tell you. Many important people were involved."

Henry did not push. He knew that if someone knew the answer, the person would come forward. Even though no one knew the answer, the other young man would definitely tell Henry the answer.

Just as Henry expected, a young woman with short hair immediately said, "Stop teasing us. There are only us. Tell us already!"

"That's right. We won't tell anyone."

The attention made the young man felt very satisfied. He said, "Okay, I'll tell you. But you can't tell other people."

"Don't worry, we won't say a word."

"Let me tell you, most of the artifacts excavated by Enkidu Inc. will be given to the government, so the government acquiesces many of their excavation sites, including the one no one is allowed to touch. For example, this time..."

The young man paused for dramatic effect. He continued after a few seconds.

"I heard that Enkidu Inc had just excavated the ruins of Loulan in the new province. You guys know Loulan, right? I heard that place is haunted, and some of Enkidu Inc's people died there. Today's stuff on auction is from Loulan."

"My god, Loulan! How dare they dig that place up!"

"You can say that again!"

"Enkidu Inc. is too audacious!"

Hearing all these, Henry was sure that Enkidu Inc. had something to do with Alvin League.

Alvin League pulled strings to gain the permit from the Yan Xia government to excavate all the inheritance.

Henry did not say anything. He was about to leave after inquiring about the information he needed.

Henry just turned around, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of Henry.

She frowned when she saw Henry.
