When I left the reception room, it was already 9:05 in the morning, but the auction had not started yet because the host said that he was waiting for a mysterious guest.
Don’t wait in vain, I will definitely give you a big surprise later.
"Shen Yu?"
Just as Shen Yu returned to his seat and sat down, a beautiful woman with an elegant temperament, a graceful figure, and a graceful figure suddenly stood up in front of her.
"Ah, is it really you? What a coincidence, you are also here to participate in the auction?" After saying that, the beautiful woman extended her delicate hand to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu looked up and his head immediately hurt. Why did all his friends of the opposite sex appear together today?
The speaker was none other than Pei Yuqin, director and vice president of Gaogu Auction.
Today she is wearing an office lady's suit, with a fitted white shirt on the upper body, a black knee-length skirt on the lower body, and a pair of red stilettos on the lower body. The neat and capable outfit matches the fair and beautiful face. She is simply beautiful. To the impossible.
Shen Yu stood up and stretched out his hand to shake her hand, "Sister Qin, we meet again, what? Will you also participate in the auction held by your colleagues? Or are you here to spy on 'intelligence'?"
"I was invited here. Our relationship with Gao Gu and Baoyuan has always been good. Since I have time today, I came over to take a look." Pei Yuqin explained.
As she talks, a burst of mint smell will float out from the sandalwood mouth from time to time, making the surrounding air fresh.
She looked at Li Qing'er, who was also young and beautiful next to Shen Yu, and immediately said hello with a smile, "Little sister, I have chewing gum here, do you want to eat it?"
Li Qing'er refused with a smile, "Auntie, I don't have bad breath. I don't need to eat chewing gum to cover it up."
Pei Yuqin was stunned at first, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled and handed the chewing gum to Shen Yu, then turned around gracefully and sat down.
Shen Yu took the chewing gum with an embarrassed look on his face, opened the bottle cap, poured two pieces into his mouth, and turned to Li Qing'er and showed the mouth of the box, "It tastes pretty good, do you really not want to eat it?"
"No, it's just a box of chewing gum. I want to eat it, but I can't afford it." Li Qing'er pouted and muttered.
The appearance of Pei Yuqin made Li Qing'er feel like she was facing a formidable enemy. She glared at Shen Yu fiercely, "Who is this charming woman who gave you chewing gum in front of me? How did you two meet?"
"It's just an ordinary friend. Besides, why is she so charming? You can't talk behind someone's back like this." Shen Yu picked up a bottle of mineral water and answered while drinking.
"Humph, Shen Qinan, I didn't expect you to like someone older than you. Grandpa Shen often said that girls who are older than two years old will be the best. I remember that Li Huiyun is almost two years older than you, right?
"What's the matter with coquettishness? Coquettishness and beauty are praiseworthy." Li Qing'er glanced at Shen Yu, with a hint of resentment on her face.
"Ahem..."
Shen Yu almost spit out his mouthful of water.
Pei Yuqin in front heard the noise and stood up quickly. He took out a handkerchief from his handbag and handed it to Shen Yu. Then he glanced at Li Qing'er, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
It’s not her fault. No one wants to be called old, and the word “coquettish” is obviously derogatory.
Sometimes you tell a woman that you are poor and she may not be angry, but if you tell her that she is old, she will definitely be angry. Pei Yuqin has given Shen Yu face by not getting angry on the spot.
"Thank you, Sister Qin. I have tissues here." Shen Yu declined the handkerchief Pei Yuqin handed over. He didn't want to incur further questioning from Li Qing'er.
"What are you talking about? We are really just ordinary friends. We have only met three times today. Qing'er, please keep your voice down. It's rude to talk to others like this." After Pei Yuqin sat down again, Shen Yu said in a low voice.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! By the way, you're not my girlfriend, why do you care what I do?" Shen Yu said deliberately angrily to her.
Li Qing'er didn't take it seriously. She took out a small mirror from her bag, pushed back her hair that had been blown by the wind, and said casually, "Humph, who wants to care about you? I'm just curious. Besides, , you said you wanted to marry me, so of course I can take care of you."
Shen Yu: "..."
……
Buzz!
At this time, the cell phone of a middle-aged woman sitting next to Shen Yu suddenly rang. After answering the call, she picked up her handbag and walked forward. After a while, Pei Yuqin walked over with a smile on her face.
"Sister Qin, are you?" Shen Yu seemed to understand something.
"They are all Gao Gu's colleagues. We just changed seats." Pei Yuqin explained, taking a look at Li Qing'er with a very indifferent expression on her face.
Li Qing'er was about to say something sarcastic when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the auction.
A large group of people surrounded a middle-aged man whose face could not be seen clearly and walked quickly into the auction hall.
First there were one or two rounds of applause, and then there was warm applause in the auction hall.
The middle-aged man politely clasped his fists in return. This man was tall and thin with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He must be at least 1.85 meters tall. He had no flesh on his face and looked like he was malnourished. However, he spoke loudly and loudly. He walked onto the stage. He simply said four words into the microphone, "Hello everyone!"
The audience immediately burst into applause.
The middle-aged man pressed his hands down and said, "I'm sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. I had been ready for a long time, but when I went out, my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. The doctor suggested that I be hospitalized, and my old wife also suggested that I at least stay home. I took three to five days off, but I still came because I couldn’t let go of so many friends who supported Baoyuan.
"In this way, today's commission is reduced from 15% to 10%, which is considered as punishment for my Lao Zhang being late. How about it, everyone?"
"Okay!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"
"Thank you, Boss Zhang!"
"Boss Zhang is righteous!"
"Boss Zhang is serious!"
"It's strange that the host of this auction is not An Jiuli, but Zhang Zongbao himself. It's really rare." Pei Yuqin whispered, but it was obviously meant for Shen Yu.
"Sister Qin, is this person Zhang Zongbao?"
Pei Yuqin smiled, "Yes, but he doesn't look like the chairman of a big company, right?"
Shen Yu nodded, "If this person were wearing coarse clothes and carrying a hoe, he would be more like an old farmer in the countryside, but he raised the atmosphere of the auction in just a few words, and he looked like a business tycoon at first glance.
"The auction commission has been reduced by 5%. Baoyuan seems to have suffered a big loss, but if the transaction volume increases, they will not suffer a loss at all, but will make a big profit.
"Because only three or five pieces of antiques are sold, no matter how much commission you charge, it won't have much effect. On the other hand, if you sell a hundred pieces, it will be a lot of money. It's amazing!"
Pei Yuqin looked around, then slowly leaned into Shen Yu's ear and exhaled like orchid: "Zhang Zongbao is a veteran in the Chuzhou business community. Being late and having a bad heart are probably excuses. As Gaogu and other large auction companies successively Entering Chuzhou, Baoyuan, a local snake in Chuzhou, is facing increasing difficulties, and it can be said that he is struggling.
"However, Baoyuan is also a centipede insect and is still very strong. Because Zhang Zongbao himself is a big collector. He can attract many people to bid by just throwing out a few antiques. It is said that he also has a mysterious secret. The partner is a woman and has great financial resources.
"Baoyuan, the word "bao" in it, is Zhang Zongbao's treasure.
"That person has the word Baoyuan in her name, but she never shows up, and no one knows who she is."
Li Qing'er, who was sitting on the other side, was very quiet at this time. She knew that she could not help Shen Yu much now, and being needlessly jealous had no practical meaning. Instead, she took out a hardcover version of "Yin Liu Zhai Shuo Porcelain" from her bag. 》Read it.
She needs to quickly replenish her antique knowledge so that she can help Shang Shen heal in the future.
