Chapter 933, 934 His identity (two in one chapter)
Chapter 933, 934 His identity (two chapters in one)
Li Zhiming now works in a state-owned enterprise in Shanghai as a deputy department cadre.
Hua Xiaotian had invited him to today's charity reception a few days ago, hoping that he could attend. At that time, Li Zhiming did not fully agree. He went back to think about it for a few days and finally decided to attend this event.
After all, this is a charity auction, which is different from the usual pure gatherings, and it also helps him a little.
But when he comes is very important to him. If he comes early, he will definitely be surrounded by people, which will annoy him. It's not good if he comes too late, at least he can't wait until it's completely over.
That would be meaningless.
In the end, he chose to come here while the auction was in progress. He was supposed to arrive in the middle of the auction, but unexpectedly something happened on the way, causing him to arrive near the end.
Anyway, he came and the auction wasn't over yet.
For Hua Xiaotian, it is fine if Li Zhiming is willing to come. As long as he is present, it is a very honorable thing for her.
The mayor of Shanghai is at the same level as the provincial governor. He is a senior official at the ministerial level, and Shanghai is in an important position. The average provincial governor cannot compare to this mayor.
And the mayor's son has a much greater influence than the rich and wealthy sons like them.
Li Zhiming walked in front, and Hua Xiaotian followed happily, with a particularly bright smile on his face. Li Zhiming's arrival this time increased his influence.
Li Zhiming walked slowly in front, smiling all the time.
"Eh!"
Li Zhiming, who was walking, suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Jiajia in surprise. When he passed by just now, he felt that this girl's figure was very familiar, but he didn't remember who it was. Now that he saw the front, he finally recognized it.
Wang Jiajia's father and his father are not in the same camp, but they have worked together. It can be said that the two of them have known each other since Wang Jiajia was very young.
Li Zhiming looked at Wang Jiajia, then at Li Yang beside her, then turned and walked towards them.
Bai Zhantao, Su Youpeng, and the two girls all stood up in a hurry, followed by Li Yang and Wang Jiajia.
"Mr. Li!"
Bai Zhantao hurriedly said hello in a low voice. Li Zhiming was the general manager of a state-owned enterprise. In front of Li Zhiming, they did not dare to call Mr. Li directly.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
Su Youpeng also greeted him respectfully. Even the girl in yellow was a little nervous in front of Li Zhiming.
"Master Bai and Master Su, hello!"
Li Zhiming nodded friendly, and Bai Zhantao's face showed a hint of excitement. Li Zhiming still remembered him, which was definitely a very honorable thing for him.
Li Zhiming smiled, turned around after talking to them, and stood naturally in front of Wang Jiajia.
"Jiajia, when did you arrive in Shanghai and why are you here?"
"Brother Zhiming, when did I arrive in Shanghai? You are so smart that you should be able to guess it?"
Wang Jiajia pursed her lips and smiled, and took Li Yang's arm. The two of them were so intimate that one could tell at a glance that they were a couple, and a very loving couple.
Hua Xiaotian, Bai Zhantao and the others stayed there, and many people around them also stared wide-eyed.
Does Li Zhiming know this antique dealer’s girlfriend?
And judging from their tone, it seems that they have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship. Li Zhiming is the mayor's son, so what is the identity of this antique dealer's girlfriend?
They would not be stupid enough to think that the person who made Li Zhiming stop on purpose and say hello despite so many people around her was just an ordinary girl.
Some people were confused at this time, including the girl in yellow and Xu Shiyun.
Li Zhiming's eyes also widened. He looked at Wang Jiajia and then at Li Yang.
His expression quickly recovered, he smiled again, and took the initiative to reach out his hand and said happily: "Mr. Li, I have long admired your name. I didn't expect to see you here. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
Li Zhiming is not stupid. People from political families like them are not stupid.
The relationship between Wang Jiajia and Li Yang is unknown to ordinary people, but everyone in the top management is aware of it. It was recently rumored that the National Jade Seal was on display in Shanghai, and Wang Jiajia and Li Yang are so close. If he can no longer guess Li Yang's identity, he may simply resign.
Just go home and forget it.
Gao Qiang suddenly felt dizzy and almost stopped standing there.
Hua Xiaotian and Bai Zhantao's mouths were all open. At least half of the people in the hall were similar to them.
What did they see and what did they hear?
When Li Zhiming came in, Hua Xiaotian, Bai Zhantao and Su Youpeng didn't shake hands with them. Facing this antique dealer, Li Zhiming actually extended his hand.
Moreover, he also said that he had admired his name for a long time and it was a pleasure to meet him.
For many young masters, it is a great honor to have Li Zhiming remember his name. To have Li Zhiming take the initiative to be so polite is beyond their imagination.
"Hello, Brother Zhiming, nice to meet you!"
Li Yang also stretched out his hand and shook Li Zhiming's hand directly. This was the first time he met Li Zhiming, but he already knew his identity. Wang Jiajia told him when he first came in.
"call!"
Many people took a breath, and some were still feeling dizzy.
Li Zhiming reached out to the antique dealer. The antique dealer actually agreed so generously, which made them feel unrealistic.
Especially Gao Qiang, he even wondered if he was dreaming again.
We are all young masters, but there is a big gap between them. People like Li Zhiming are aloof and should never be messed with.
Such a person was actually chatting and laughing with the antique dealer, talking to each other as equals. Not only Gao Qiang was dizzy, but Hua Xiaotian was also a little dizzy at this moment.
"Stop standing, let's sit down and talk!"
Li Zhiming looked back, immediately pulled up a chair and sat down. Li Yang and Wang Jiajia nodded, and everyone on the table sat down.
Bai Zhantao stood there awkwardly. The table seemed crowded. When Li Zhiming sat down here, everyone else sat down, so there was no room for him at all.
He can neither sit nor walk now.
Hua Xiaotian was equally embarrassed. He originally wanted to bring Li Zhiming to his table, but now that Li Zhiming had stopped, he also wanted to stay, but there was obviously no place at the table.
It was impossible for those people who were sitting to give up their seats to him.
"Master Hua, I'm sorry for delaying your auction. You can continue!"
Hua Xiaotian was hesitating when Li Zhiming turned around and said something to him. Hua Xiaotian nodded hurriedly and walked quickly back to his seat. He understood that there was no chance to communicate with Li Zhiming today.
Bai Zhantao followed Hua Xiaotian to their side, and continuing to stand there alone would only make him feel more uncomfortable.
"Let the auction continue!"
Hua Xiaotian said something to the auctioneer, who subconsciously looked towards Li Yang, and everyone in the hall also looked towards Li Yang.
The auction continued, and the one who had just bid was Gao Qiang, and Gao Qiang obviously raised the price deliberately in order to compete with the mysterious antique dealer.
At this time, some people began to feel gloating again. They didn't know Li Yang's true identity, but the person who could make Li Zhiming stay and deliberately make friends was definitely not a simple person.
Gao Qiang finally hit the wall this time.
"The gentleman at table three just bid 3.5 million. Is there anything higher than 3.5 million?"
The auctioneer raised his hand and asked loudly, "It's okay if he doesn't say it." As soon as Gao Qiang said this, his face suddenly turned pink, and the speed of his face change was a few minutes faster than the face-changing magic trick of Sichuan Opera.
"Hua, Mr. Hua, can I void the bid I made just now?"
Gao Qiang looked sad, turned around and whispered to Hua Xiaotian. He wanted to slap himself twice now, and he still felt deep regret and resentment in his heart.
Antiques dealers, we don’t take care of people like this. No matter how powerful an antiques dealer is, it’s impossible for Li Zhiming to look at him differently.
At this time, Gao Qiang finally understood that his background was definitely not simple. Even if it was simple, being able to know Li Zhiming and being so friendly to Li Zhiming would make him unable to bear the burden of walking around.
"Young Master Qiang, this is against the rules!"
Hua Xiaotian frowned. This was not a formal auction, but he couldn't go back on his promise. If he really agreed, he would be the one who was ridiculed. He sympathized with Gao Qiang, but he would not do anything detrimental to his own interests.
"Brother Zhiming, I'm sorry, we can talk after I take a photo of this treasure!"
Li Yang whispered something, Li Zhiming and He Jie were about the same age, they were classmates before, and they were talking about something about He Jie just now.
This Li Zhiming was very talkative, and a few words brought them closer, but the things in the Jade Pagoda were very important to Li Yang, and he couldn't give up on this auction.
"It doesn't matter, you shoot first!"
Li Zhiming smiled and nodded, looking unusually kind. Except Su Youpeng, who knew Li Yang's identity, everyone who paid attention to them was surprised.
Su Youpeng understood that it was because of Li Yang's special status that Li Zhiming deliberately made friends with him. Li Yang was not a member of the officialdom, but his energy was no worse than that of Li Zhiming, a member of the officialdom.
"Four million!"
Li Yang raised his hand, and Gao Qiang suddenly took a deep breath and fell down on the follower next to him.
"Four million, is there anything higher than four million?"
The auctioneer shouted again. Li Zhiming did not speak to Li Yang, but started talking to Wang Jiajia in a low voice.
They had grown up together since childhood. Wang Jiajia didn't have so many worries when speaking. After a while, she told everything. Li Zhiming looked at Li Yang in shock, shook his head and laughed.
.
People here actually regard Li Yang as an antique dealer. These young men are really interesting.
It is true that Li Yang is an antique dealer, but he is not an ordinary antique dealer, but a person with the most famous reputation in the antique world. Unfortunately, these young men in front of him are blind and did not recognize this master.
"Four million, congratulations to this friend at table five, four million won our last auction item today!"
The auctioneer knocked on the table hard, which also meant that today's charity auction was officially over. Li Yang got this jade pagoda and the mysterious blade with the word "Wu Kun" inside.
"Li Yang, congratulations!"
Li Zhiming first said something to Li Yang. The expressions of the people around him did not change, and they were all numb at this moment.
At this time, they all understood that Li Zhiming not only treated this mysterious antique dealer as a complete equal, but also took the initiative to make friends. It was obviously the first time that the two met.
Even if Li Zhiming takes the initiative to make good connections with people, many people will not even think about them.
It's like when they meet Li Zhiming, they all want to take the initiative to get to know him. That's because the other person has a stronger identity and a higher status than themselves.
This mysterious antique dealer is either on a higher level than Li Zhiming, or he is similar to him. Anyway, he will not be inferior to him, otherwise Li Zhiming would not do this.
Even taking the lightest point, it means that this mysterious antique dealer has the same status as Li Zhiming. What is this concept? This means that the family background of the young and mysterious antique dealer in front of me is definitely not inferior to Li Zhiming.
Maybe he is a family member of a big boss in the central government. Such a person is definitely not comparable to the so-called rich men like them.
Gao Qiang also thought of this, and his face became even paler.
"Thanks!"
Li Yang smiled slightly, there was nothing worthy of congratulations about this jade tower, but the blade inside might be Lu Zigang's peerless magic weapon, which would be of great significance.
If that is the case, it will definitely be a happy event.
"Li Yang, his name is Li Yang?"
The girl in yellow suddenly frowned, lowered her head and whispered to her cousin that they never knew Li Yang's real name until Li Zhiming called it out.
"This name looks so familiar!"
Xu Shiyun's eyebrows also condensed together. The girl in yellow's eyes suddenly lit up and she said hurriedly: "I remembered, isn't the money we auctioned today going to the Li Yang Foundation?"
"Yes, I also remembered, Chuan Guo Jade Seal, doesn't Chuan Guo Jade Seal belong to Li Yang?"
Xu Shiyun also shouted softly, and both of them looked at Li Yang blankly. Their voices increased unnaturally, and everyone around them heard it.
"Poetry!"
Su Youpeng quietly moved closer and whispered a reminder. The two girls noticed his gaffe and hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Li Yang, don't they know you?"
Li Zhiming looked at Li Yang in surprise and asked in a low voice. The girl in yellow suddenly raised her head. This sentence was equivalent to officially naming Li Yang's true identity.
It's really him, this person, who is currently a celebrity and a celebrity.
The Imperial Seal is on display at the Shanghai Museum. Su Youpeng's father is the curator of the museum. It is easy to understand why he and Su Youpeng are together.
However, they only know Li Yang's reputation in the antiques industry, but they don't know Li Yang's profound background.
Even so, it was enough to shock them. They remembered that Li Yang said that he opened an antique shop, which was true. Li Yang seemed to have an antique shop in Beijing, and the business was booming now.
"Brother Zhiming, we are just here to take pictures of a few things, there is no need to talk about this!"
Wang Jiajia explained in a low voice. Li Zhiming shook his head and laughed a few times. He didn't pay much attention to it and simply chatted with Li Yang about other things.
The auction is over, but the payment has not yet been settled. At this time, Hua Xiaotian is busy leading people to settle the payment.
The most valuable item in today's auction is the first pen holder, which is a full one million US dollars. Gao Qiang really didn't dare to miss this money. When he swiped his card, he felt a little distressed, but when he thought that he had offended a person who was a brother-in-law of Li Zhiming, his heart
There was another moment of panic.
In addition to the pen holder, the value of the jade pagoda that Li Yang photographed is also not low, 4 million, which is the second highest value today. Liu Gang took Li Yang's card and swiped it again.
However, the reason why the jade pagoda fetched such a high price was partly due to Gao Qiang. Gao Qiang almost regretted it to death. Did he not read the almanac when he went out today? He completely offended such an important person.
He felt unhappy, but Hua Xiaotian was in a good mood.
A total of more than 14 million yuan has been raised today, which is not comparable to those large-scale charity auctions, but it is already a very good result for young men like them.
This is not an event that their parents participated in. Charity auctions like that can raise hundreds of millions in donations.
They were just making a small fuss, usually only a few million, but this time it reached more than 10 million, which can be regarded as breaking a record. With Li Zhiming coming here in person, Hua Xiaotian's influence suddenly increased again
Go up.
This kind of influence not only increases within the circle of the young master, but also in his own family. If he can establish a good relationship with Li Zhiming, his status in the family will become higher and higher, and his rights in the future will naturally increase.
It's getting bigger and bigger.
Li Zhiming announced the final results in public and thanked each guest.
The most grateful ones are Gao Qiang and Li Yang. They were the two highest bidders during the auction, but their expressions were completely different. Li Yang was always smiling, while Gao Qiang always looked sad.
The event was over and everyone began to leave slowly. Li Zhiming also stood up, looked at Li Yang with a smile and said: "Li Yang, Jiajia, you haven't had enough to eat here. Since you have arrived in Shanghai, you are guests.
I'll be the host and we'll go out for something to eat later?"
The people around who heard Li Zhiming's words had a little weird look on their faces.
Generally, people who attend a cocktail party will not be full, and they will definitely want to eat something when they go back after the party is over. This is almost a rule.
But it definitely does not include the people in front of them. They all saw that these people destroyed two large lobsters weighing several kilograms, a plate of crabs and a lot of barbecue meat skewers, and even drank two bottles of red wine.
.
If they are not full, it only means that their stomachs are too big.
Hua Xiaotian, who had just walked over, was also stunned, with a faint black line on his forehead.
"Brother Zhiming, thank you. We just ate a lot. If you want to treat us, wait until tomorrow. We really can't eat anything today!"
Wang Jiajia chuckled, and Li Yang also smiled and nodded. He ate the most just now, and almost a lobster went into his stomach. Now he really can't eat it.
Li Zhiming's eyes widened, and finally he smiled and said: "That's it, fine then. I'll be the host tomorrow. Let's make an agreement first. Li Yang, please call me and I'll contact you tomorrow!"
As he spoke, Li Zhiming also took out his mobile phone, and Li Yang also took out his own mobile phone.
The people around looked at them, feeling a little numb at this moment. Li Zhiming took the initiative to invite people to dinner, but was rejected and had to wait for another day. If they had not seen this kind of thing with their own eyes, they would not believe it at all.
If they could invite Li Zhiming to dinner, they would rush over regardless of the time and whether they had eaten or not.
This is the gap, the gap in status.
"Young Master Su, what is your status as a family friend?"
The girl in yellow clothes on the side finally seized the opportunity, came to Su Youpeng and asked in a low voice.
She was extremely curious about Li Yang at this time. Li Zhiming must know Li Yang's identity, but she did not dare to chase Li Zhiming and ask, so she could only go to Su Youpeng.
She believed Su Youpeng must know this.
Su Youpeng shook his head helplessly. The girl in yellow was called Zhou Yaruo, the only little princess of the Zhou family. The Zhou family was a big local family in Shanghai and had a good relationship with the Su family. When the Su family entered Shanghai, the Zhou family helped a lot.
This Zhou Yaruo almost didn't become his fiancée, but it was precisely because of her that Xu Shiyun met him and had a tangled relationship.
"I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret!"
Su Youpeng sighed. The girl in front of him was definitely the type of person who wanted to get to the bottom of things. Even if he didn't say anything, Zhou Yaruo would go back and ask her family.
These young masters don't know Li Yang's true identity, but the fathers know something about it, and they are very well-informed.
Rather than letting her hold a grudge and go back to ask for clarification, it would be better to say it directly here.
Zhou Yaruo nodded vigorously and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone, please tell me now!"
Su Youpeng looked around and whispered beside her: "You should know the person behind our Su family. Li Yang is that person's apprentice and only disciple!"
Zhou Yaruo's eyes widened again and her mouth opened.
There is a big man behind the Su family who helps them. This is no secret in Shanghai circles. Although this big man has retired, his influence is still there, but he helps the Su family purely because of Su Yang's relationship.
This is the power of the Su family. Normally, people from the Su family would not dare to directly trouble this old man.
But Li Yang is this person's direct disciple, and the relationship is much closer. No wonder Li Zhiming would deliberately make friends with him. This status is indeed very powerful, much better than the young ladies from rich families like them.
Su Youpeng hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Also, his fiancée is Miss Wang, the daughter of Mayor Wang Quanming!"
"Mayor Wang Quanming!"
Zhou Yaruo's eyes widened even more. Ordinary people may not know who Wang Quanming is, but they don't. They know the names of all the frontier officials in all provinces and cities in the country. This is a necessary homework.
There is only one mayor named Wang Quanming in the country, the mayor of Beijing.
"Yes, just understand, don't tell anyone!"
Su Youpeng nodded. He pointed this out because he felt that Zhou Yaruo seemed to be very curious about Li Yang. This was not a good sign. If a girl is curious about a man, it is likely to turn into something else.
He must kill this. Li Yang has a very tough background, and his girlfriend is not weak either. This is a real political marriage that cannot be destroyed by them.
"I see!"
Zhou Yaruo nodded mechanically, no wonder Li Yang dared to teach people here casually, and he didn't care about the eyes of these people, just eating and drinking there.
With such an identity and background, you really don't need to care about these things. Compared to them, the usually proud young ladies like you are nothing.
…………
The goal of thirty votes has been achieved, but the pursuit is too tight. Can we break through fifty votes today? When we get to fifty votes, Xiaoyu will continue to explode in the fourth update tomorrow!
