Boss Yang had only himself to blame. If he had simply said he wanted to offer the item as a birthday gift to Lord Qin, Hou Qigui probably would have agreed. After all, it was a birthday gift for the Grandmaster of the Caimen, and that would have reflected well on Hou Qigui too.
However, Boss Yang had no intention of letting Hou Qigui share in the glory, nor did he want Lord Qin to know that the item belonged to Hou Qigui in the first place. Therefore, he never mentioned the birthday banquet, claiming instead that a major boss wanted to buy it and had asked him to negotiate, with the price fully negotiable.
No matter how smoothly Boss Yang talked, Hou Qigui flatly refused to sell, leaving Boss Yang thoroughly disgruntled.
