"Don't mind, brother, he's just a little facial paralyzed, he always has this expression on everyone." Gu Mingxi smoothed things over in the middle.
"It doesn't matter." Gu Qingjiu didn't mind Gu Xizhi's cold face, but felt that the expression when he looked at her... seemed like they had known each other before.
Xu Shi found that there was no response from the other party, and Gu Xizhi felt a little disappointed. After nodding, he turned his head to look at the auction, with a cold expression on his face.
Gu Qingjiu was surprised when she saw his reaction, when Gu Mingxi suddenly asked in a low voice:
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Gu Qingjiu seemed to be moved by his words and thought of something. Then she suddenly grabbed Gu Mingxi's hand, startling him.
I saw her saying solemnly:
"Do me a favor?"
——
After settling the matter at the auction, Gu Qingjiu slipped into the backstage smoothly.
The backstage is not big, there are only a few rooms in the short corridor with room signs hanging on them.
Gu Qingjiu followed the signs one by one and looked for them:
Toilet, lounge, reception room, collection room, and then...
"Are you looking for me?"
The sudden sound startled Gu Qingjiu.
She looked behind her and saw a girl with chestnut hair standing less than five meters behind her.
It looks like he just came out of the living room...
But what caught Gu Qingjiu's attention even more was that the other party was holding a sachet in his hand.
The distance between them was not too far, and the fragrance slowly drifted towards Gu Qingjiu.
Just by smelling it, she knew that what the other person was holding was the fake "Xishen Incense".
"It doesn't look like you are a buyer here," Gu Qingjiu just witnessed the entire bidding process of five sachets, and she remembered the appearance of each buyer: "Then this sachet in your hand
, and where did it come from?”
"Don't you know very well why I am here?"
Of course Liu Shiya heard something in the other person's words, implying that she was the author of the sachet, but she had no intention of hiding it in the first place, so she admitted it openly:
"I am the seller of the sachet, the person who made the Xishen Incense... Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Liu Shiya's directness surprised Gu Qingjiu. Gu Qingjiu curled her lips and smiled, appreciating her frankness a little more:
"You are a smart man and should know why I am here.
Since you chose to stay here and piqued my interest through the sachet, you must be well prepared?"
Of course Liu Shiya was prepared: "The place here is too small. Since we are competing, we have to find a place with witnesses——"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Gu Qingjiu knew what the other party was planning: "Then please lead the way first?"
——
The hammer fell with a "snap", and the auctioneer waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Gu Mingxi:
"Let us congratulate this buyer for acquiring this rare glazed stone!"
Applause came one after another, and Gu Mingxi followed suit twice with a polite smile.
He knew why everyone present applauded, and why he won the deal so smoothly without anyone trying to compete with him:
Those people were afraid of Gu Xizhi beside him.
The chairman of the Gu Group has an unparalleled position in Longjing, all due to his excellent strength and iron-fisted methods.
Although few people have seen him, Gu Xizhi just sits there, and the royal aura exuding around him is enough to convince others.
Gu Mingxi clapped his hands and said to Gu Xizhi in a voice that only two people could hear: "Thank you, Xizhi."
His eyes, which were always smiling, opened slightly, revealing a hint of sincerity.
