"But we still have to abide by the order of the auction house this time." As he said this, Ange gave Lu Mingfei an "I understand you" look.
After all, we are young people, so it is easy to guess what we think.
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he finally had to answer "I know."
Angers continued to explain the auction to Lu Mingfei.
"The targeted auction is a place where the college searches for treasures. You can often find some rare collections, and sometimes you can pick up some treasures. Because they can't judge the value of the auction items at all."
Angers smiled proudly: "So for us, it is a place where we can pick up leaks."
"Then why should I go..." Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
"You have to play the role of a new buyer. There is something we want to lend you to take a photo of." Angers handed over a plug-in wireless earbud, "It's very simple, just follow my instructions, but remember
, you and I didn’t know each other at the auction.”
"I'm not suitable...I don't know anything about auctions..." Lu Mingfei was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. The college will create various learning opportunities for you," Angers took a deep breath of his cigar, patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and said boldly, "You know you are from our school.
Shining Star, the only S-class in our school...
"You must know that things have become increasingly unstable recently. The activities of the Secret Church are becoming more and more frequent, and the Dragon Clan is also ready to make a move...
"While the Night Watch and I can still maintain this academy, you must study as soon as possible... Time is running out."
"Time is running out?" Lu Mingfei heard a strong sense of desolation in the old guy's words. But what he cared more about was the mysterious church mentioned in Principal Angers' words.
Kassel College has traditionally focused on researching dragons, and has not mentioned much about the mysterious church. Most of the relevant information that Lu Mingfei knows comes from Fingel and Norma.
Lu Mingfei didn't have a good impression of that mysterious and weird church. He always felt that the church was full of cultists and lunatics, and they were all the kind that might pose a threat to Brother Fool.
After all, the evil god that the Secret Church believes in wants to take over Brother Fool's body.
Lu Mingfei now feels that the Secret Church is a very big threat.
"At my age, how long do you think I can live?" Angers shrugged, "I am one of the earliest members of the Lionheart Society. Of course, if you live through the entire 20th century, you will have no idea whether you will die or not.
Like me, I don’t care too much.”
Lu Mingfei nodded vaguely understanding.
"By the way, this is the mission plan."
Angers took a document from the passenger seat and handed it to Lu Mingfei: "Remember your identity for this mission."
Lu Mingfei opened the file.
Eye twitching.
"Principal, are you sure this information is serious?"
"Of course, although this does not suit your temperament and identity, it is indeed the most suitable." Principal Angers said bohemianly.
"...My name is Lu Mingfei. I am the illegitimate son of a rich Chinese man. In order to show my presence in the family, I am going to auction an art piece and improve my taste." Lu Mingfei muttered the preparations for himself with a headache.
of this identity.
"I grew up in a small place and didn't have much vision. I finally came to such an awesome auction this time. I must collect some good things and put them back in my mansion! Like those high-minded people in my own home.
Guys at the top, show off your style."
"...Principal, have you read too many novels about feuds between wealthy families?" Lu Mingfei expressed deep doubts.
"It's not that... you have to know that the wealthy families in reality are much more chaotic than those in novels. Just like the rich man who entertained you last night, his private life is also very chaotic." Angers said to him nonchalantly.
Lu Mingfei would like to popularize some gossip about the upper class society.
"Actually, the identity I set up for you this time is also to let you try to get in touch with the son of the mysterious rich man Dwayne Dantès. They are both illegitimate children. You and that little guy should be able to talk.
Well, at least we should be sympathetic to each other."
Lu Mingfei suddenly noticed the meaning of the principal's words: "You mean, if I go to the auction with my identity this time, I will meet that little bastard?"
"Yes...you know, it was the first time that the rich man took his son to a public place, and many people were watching."
"Although that little guy is only eight years old, he is already considered to be precocious. He must have heard some rumors and would be very resistant to his identity as an illegitimate child," Angers said.
"I think you made a miscalculation, principal. That little bastard is closer to Chu Zihang." Lu Mingfei complained. He felt that it was a bit unseemly to use other people's scars to contact others in this way.
However, Kassel College has never been able to get rid of the label of a dark organization in his mind. Lu Mingfei felt that it was not unimaginable that the college would do such a thing.
"That doesn't matter. Anyway, this time we are just trying to make contact. That little guy seems to be very difficult to deal with. If you can't handle it, forget it. The most important task is the auction." Angers said casually.
Angers handed over an envelope: "Inside is your invitation bundle. Take it and don't lose it. You must have a deposit of 2 million US dollars in your account. Norma opened an account for you in a bank in Zurich and deposited 2 million US dollars."
Ten thousand. This is the task fund, and it will be withdrawn from your account after the end."
Lu Mingfei had a question: "If it's just an auction, why don't you go there yourself? Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to go than for me? You know, I have never experienced any of these things."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Auction is actually a psychological game. Especially for rare items that rarely appear on the market, no one can immediately estimate the value. At this time, psychology becomes particularly important.
The price of art depends on how many people are willing to buy it. If there are more people bidding, the price will go up. If there are senior buyers bidding hard, many people will follow up, and the price will go up. And I am.
Senior buyer, almost everyone there knows me.”
"So if you hold up the sign, it means this thing is valuable?" Lu Mingfei nodded, "To put it bluntly, I am a shill."
Angers gave a thumbs up: "Yes, you are just a shill! I just went to take pictures of a few small things to show off. For the real goal, I will not raise the sign. I hope that the thing will become an unpopular thing that no one cares about."
But if you raise your sign, everyone in the audience will think that the new bastard who no one cares about actually spends money on such a useless thing, but you can get it at a low price."
"Understood." Lu Mingfei nodded, but he was complaining about the darkness in society. At this time, he actually missed his senior brother. Although he seemed to be a murderer, he was still very straightforward and would not do such things.
A mess of winding things.
"Oh, by the way, where did Chu Zihang go?" Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Chu Zihang in the morning. This shouldn't be the case. Chu Zihang was so self-disciplined that he shouldn't have gotten up late.
"He went to tutor Xia Mi for freshmen..."
Suddenly Angers stepped on the brakes, almost knocking Lu Mingfei onto the back cushion in front. Angers said: "Get out of the car."
"What's wrong? Is there anything abnormal?" Lu Mingfei asked, covering his forehead.
"Oh, no, you are about to get off the bus. You are a sitter, so of course you can't appear with me. Someone will come here to pick you up in a while. Remember to change your clothes, a full set of Armani. Walk with your chest held high, you are coming.
You have to be arrogant about people who spend two million dollars here. Don't look down on those well-dressed auctioneers at Sotheby's. They are just helping to collect commissions."
Angers patted his shoulder vigorously: "Come on, I'm very optimistic about you."
"I know..." Lu Mingfei looked depressed, but he didn't say much. After all, this school is such a trap. There are inexplicable tasks every day.
He believed that Kassel College was going to assassinate the president one day. The college had always been so domineering. If he, Lu Mingfei, dared to say no, he would be in trouble.
Pennsylvania Road, Chicago Civic Opera House.
Various high-end cars parked at the door one after another, with red taillights flashing one after another. The heavy car door opened, and a man wearing a black tuxedo or evening dress got out of the car, wearing a white embroidered shirt and a cosmopolitan-style hair.
The man's hair was thickly smeared with hair oil, and the light was discernible. The hand that came out of the car was wearing long white velvet gloves, and a silver watch was worn outside the gloves. The man held the hand and pulled it out lightly.
A modern girl wrapped in mink fur and veiled, her slender heels stepped on the ground, her calves stretched out in graceful arcs, white steam overflowed from the sewer outlet, and men and women walked hand in hand towards the opera house.
The black Ferrari slowly stopped in front of the Opera House. Its momentum attracted the attention of the waiter. He quickly ran down the steps. The window slowly lowered, and a young, slender, well-muscled hand handed out a dark red card.
invitation.
"Mr. Ricardo!" the waiter said loudly to this unfamiliar name, as if to greet a well-known count.
The driver got out of the car, his waist straight, and his black clothes were studded with gold-plated buttons. He respectfully opened the door of the back seat, and a young man with black hair came out and calmly glanced at the guests. Although his figure was
Thin, but very tall, like a pine and cypress standing in the cold wind. His expression was very calm, as if he didn't care about this luxurious party, and he had the kind of arrogance that despised everything.
"Please, sir, the auction is about to begin." The waiter bowed to the young distinguished guest.
"Yeah." The young man responded coldly, without any change in the expression on his face.
But the huge silent pressure made the waiter couldn't help but lower his head. Even though he had met many important people, he had rarely seen someone with such a strong aura. It was enough to show that this young man's identity was certain.
Extraordinary.
The young man followed the waiter through the dimly lit passage. The smell of perfume floated in the air, and the shining thing was the silver powder applied on the bare shoulders of the modern girls.
He was suddenly exposed in an open space, as if golden light was coming from all directions.
The panoramic view of the Opera House appeared in front of him, and the air of ostentation hit his face. The surrounding pillars were like the ruins of the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens, but they were painted gorgeous dark red. On the dome-shaped ceiling, one after another,
The giant crystal chandelier disperses all the shadows, and the dome is reflected in gold. The battle of Ragnarok is painted on the four walls, the green mandala pattern wool carpet, and the red velvet seats with brass nameplates.
The seat numbers are marked, and a scarlet curtain hangs on the stage, as if the work of some ancient Greek tragedy master will be staged when the curtain is opened.
But the young man's expression was still so indifferent, as if he didn't care about all this.
"Stop! Try again! You should show your yearning for this luxurious occasion!" Ange's deep voice sounded in his ears, and Lu Mingfei had put on wireless headphones before.
"I'm not studying acting..." A miniature microphone was hidden under Lu Mingfei's chin, and Lu Mingfei complained softly while following the waiter.
There was no way he could do it, he was a little nervous in this situation...he accidentally lost control of his expression management. Subconsciously, he assumed the same state that used to intimidate everyone in Kassel College. After all, that college was full of lunatics and violence.
Crazy, it is not easy to suppress them. You must put on a full posture and intimidate (pretend) and force them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To be honest, he was just in a daze just now...
"I know Mingfei is the pride in your heart, but in some situations, it is necessary for you to give up your pride and disguise yourself as a humble person. Just like this auction." Angers
He began to persuade Lu Mingfei.
During this year, although his consciousness was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, he would still take special care of some outstanding students. Especially Lu Mingfei, whose movements were clearly recorded by Norma
, and uploaded to his desk.
Looking at Lu Mingfei's almost full marks in all subjects, Principal Angers was still very satisfied. You must know that this is a very potential student, not just an "S" grade. This is a student from Cassel College.
A future star.
It's just that this outstanding student seems to be a little too arrogant. Looking at the photo of Zhang Lu Mingfei, Ange is worried.
There are photos of Lu Mingfei sitting in the classroom, treating other people as nothing, sitting very calmly and arrogantly at the back and despising everything. There are also photos of Lu Mingfei rejecting a beautiful young lady at a dance. That photo
Inside, Lu Mingfei seemed like a arrogant and arrogant king.
Although blood is respected in the mixed-race world, as an S-level hybrid, Lu Mingfei seems to have nothing wrong with being a little proud. But sooner or later, he will suffer a disadvantage.
Even during his brief contact with Lu Mingfei, he seemed to feel that Lu Mingfei didn't have much respect for him, which was enough to show that this outstanding student didn't seem to take him seriously.
Of course, what Ange didn't know was that in Lu Mingfei's mind, his image as an old lunatic lingered, and it was strange that he could be respected!
And Ange gave him the identity of an illegitimate son this time, hoping that Lu Mingfei could restrain his arrogance.
