"Many individuals associated with Haitian have come here for the authority token, and the news has been circulated. The auction for the authority token is about to commence, and the pills won't be as effective. So, let's set them aside until after the auction."

"As for the remaining matters, we can discuss them following the auction. The auction house operates under specific rules, and that is what Duan Feng can facilitate," Duan Feng conveyed sincerely.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in understanding.
She comprehended the implications behind Duan Feng's words.
