Shen Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for Technical Liu to check it out. Let's go and return it to Director Zhou and the others."

I nodded in agreement, so Shen Ling and I drove to the Provincial Office again. After leaving the Provincial Office, Shen Ling and I rushed to Nantian City non-stop. By the time we arrived in Nantian, it was already past 7 p.m.

"What should we eat?" Shen Ling asked me proactively.

"It's better to find a Lu restaurant. Your gunshot wound hasn't healed yet." I held Shen Ling's hand and said.

"It's okay, let's go eat some hot pot. Do you still remember the first time I invited you to dinner?" Shen Ling said mischievously.

I looked at Shen Ling and nodded in agreement with a smile. After dinner, Shen Ling's father called.

"Ling'er, you and Lu Huan can just go to my branch office in Nantian tomorrow. I've asked someone to prepare money for you. Your Uncle Zhou promised to reimburse you, so you can spend whatever you want." Shen Ling's father said. .

Shen Ling complained on the phone: "I know, Dad, but it's taxpayers' money, and I don't dare to spend it arbitrarily."

"You police officers need insurance. If you don't need it, I will pay for it myself. Your mother has been leading soldiers in the army all year round and is not in good health. Please see if there are more suitable Chinese medicines. I will buy it for your mother with my own money." Shen Ling's father said with a smile on the phone.

"Okay, I get it, Dad."

After Shen Ling hung up the phone, she said to me: "You have to give me a hand tomorrow. My dad wants to buy some expensive Chinese medicine for my mom."

"Okay, I get it, don't worry, there are many records of precious Chinese herbal medicines in "The Secret of Chasing the Yin"," I said with a smile.

"That's good, sister will reward you." After saying that, Shen Ling kissed me, which made me dizzy. In my mind, this was the first time Shen Ling kissed me.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by Shen Ling and hurried to Shen Ling's father's branch office in Nantian. Then they took us to Qingchun Hall.

To be honest, this was my first time attending an auction. I originally thought there would be a lot of people, or even a group of people bidding loudly, but when I actually walked in, I found that this place was not what I imagined at all. That look.

There were only about 50 or 60 people in the hotel conference hall of Nuo Da. There might be some with secretaries and some with drivers. It was estimated that there were only about 20 people who really wanted to participate in the auction. It looked like they were all H The big bosses of the province.

"There are so few people." I couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Ling explained to me in a low voice: "Qingchundang is a four-hundred-year-old brand. The people who are lucky enough to participate in this auction are probably the top one or two people in the wealth rankings of each province, while the others are not at all." I don’t have the financial resources to participate in the auction, so there are very few people.”

After a pause, Shen Ling continued: "If a killer comes here, the whole country's economy will probably be affected. Look at the bodyguards at the door. They are probably retired from the special forces. Their skills are about the same as those of Lao Wang."

After listening to Shen Ling's explanation, I turned around and looked around. Sure enough, those bodyguards were all tall and thick. Even in suits, they still couldn't hide their ferocious temperament.

"Xiao Huan, the auction has started." Shen Ling reminded me immediately after seeing the host come on stage.

Who knows, after the host finished talking a lot, the auction officially started. The first thing to start bidding was a thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, with a starting price of 10 million. To be honest, this price is Shen Ling I don't dare to take action casually.

"How about it, Xiao Ban Xian'er, is this thousand-year-old ginseng worth buying?" Although the price of thousand-year-old ginseng is very expensive, Shen Ling was still jealous of it, so she took the initiative to ask for my opinion.

I looked at the thousand-year-old ginseng that was dynamically displayed on the big screen, shook my head, and said, "Without a thousand years, eight hundred years would be enough to break the sky. The effect of the medicine is definitely not good, so I don't want it."

"Okay." Shen Ling stuck out her tongue.

Soon, this thousand-year-old ginseng was bought by a wealthy businessman from Hainan for 30 million.

"The second piece, a 200-year-old night-flowering vine, has a starting price of 3 million." The host introduced it again.

"Do you want to buy this?" Shen Ling asked me excitedly, "I've never heard of the name. It feels so mysterious."

"No, Nocturna is Polygonum multiflorum. It was renamed by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, so there is no 200-year-old Nocturna at all." I explained to Shen Ling in a low voice.

In this way, we waited in the venue until the 20th lot was auctioned, and then finally waited for the auction of the Aesculus aesculata.

"The 21st item is a three-wheel seven-leaf flower with a starting price of 5 million," the host said.

Seeing that the opportunity had finally come, I immediately held up the sign and said, "5.5 million."

"6 million." said a man wearing a black tunic suit outside the venue.

I was determined to get this seven-leaf flower, so I immediately increased the price: "6.5 million."

"7 million."

"7.5 million."

"8 million."

The man in the black Chinese tunic suit insisted on the price and refused to give it to us. Because the people who come to the Qingchuntang auction are basically well-known figures from various provinces, and everyone is familiar with them, so they rarely show up. Multi-round bidding scenes, after all, rich people like to have face, and buying face and making friends may be more important to the rich.

But now this young man in a black Chinese tunic suit did not take into account the unspoken rules of the Qingchundang auction. Instead, he bit our price, making the price of this three-wheeled seven-leaf flower directly approach 60 million. .

"It's no longer possible, give up. There is absolutely no way Zhou Ting will give us so much money." I whispered to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. I can't swallow this breath. The worst I can do is ask my dad for reimbursement. After saying that, Shen Ling immediately quoted a new price, 80 million, which was much higher than the price quoted by the young man just now. More than 20 million more.

"90 million." The young man was still following Shen Ling's price.

Shen Ling gritted his teeth again and said: "100 million." Everyone at the scene was shocked. No one expected that a three-wheeled seven-leaf flower would actually fetch 100 million.

Now the young man stopped raising the price. After the host gave the hammer, the three-wheel seven-leaf flower was purchased by Shen Ling and I for 100 million.

At this time, the young man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit came to Shen Ling and I and said: "Madam, what a pity. I originally wanted to take a photo of this flower and give it to you. Since you like it, I It’s better not to take advantage of others. I wonder if this lady can appreciate me and have dinner with me in the evening? My wealth cannot be measured by this flower."

After Shen Ling heard this, she immediately smiled and said to me: "Xiao Huan, I leave it to you, don't let me down."
