Gao Dewei has already booked a room in a five-star hotel in Xiangjiang. It is a double room.
Xue Chen joked: "I thought Brother Gao would open a presidential suite."
"Ha, you don't know me at this point. The last thing I care about is living. In my opinion, as long as it doesn't leak from wind or rain, it's fine. It's not just a place to sleep. When I close my eyes at night,
, it will be daytime when I open my eyes the next day, no matter what room I stay in, it will be like that."
Gao Dewei smiled.
"I'm not my brother. Wherever he stays in a hotel, there must be a presidential suite. In fact, he is not a person who enjoys himself. But there is no way. It is for the convenience of work. Otherwise, when the cooperators meet, it will never be the same.
In a double room, the price is too low. Those who are familiar with it are fine, but those who are unfamiliar will be scared away."
Xue Chen simply washed up, walked out of the bathroom, and asked Gao Dewei if the auction preview had started?
"Oh, it's already started. Today is the first day. Don't worry, we can go tomorrow. Brother Xue has come all the way here and has a day of rest. Moreover, I have already booked a table at the Four Seasons Hotel. I said I would
I’ll treat you well.” Gao Dewei said.
"Then I'm welcome." Xue Chen smiled.
Gao Dewei booked the Michelin-starred restaurant Long Jingxuan at the Four Seasons Hotel. This was also Xue Chen's first time to taste the famous Michelin-starred restaurant.
“Dragon Prince Steamed Dumplings.”
“Longjing crispy chicken.”
“Lobster and soy sauce rice rolls.”
One after another exquisite items were presented and placed in front of Xue Chen and Gao Dewei.
Xue Chen is not a person who doesn't get tired of eating. He feels that the dishes here are indeed delicious, but they are not enough to wow him.
When we walked out of the hotel, the sky outside had just dimmed, and it was when the lanterns were first lit, showing the prosperity of Hong Kong.
Gao Dewei winked at Xue Chen and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, I know there is a very lively nightclub nearby. Why don't you go sit there for a while? Don't think too much about it, just go there to have a drink and watch the show."
Looking at Gao Dewei's look, he didn't know if he had been drinking at the nightclub. Xue Chen touched his nose and said: "Forget it, I have to go to the auction preview tomorrow. If I drink, I will go there in a daze tomorrow."
It won’t be good if you catch your eyes.”
Seeing that Xue Chen was reluctant to play, Gao Dewei did not force it. After getting in the car, he said with a smile: "Brother Xue, whoever marries you in the future will be really blessed."
Early the next morning, which was also the day after the preview of the Fuji Spring Auction lots, Xue Chen and Gao Dewei arrived at the 18th floor of the Ginza Hotel. Gao Dewei showed Gao Dewei his issued qualification certificate to participate in the auction and entered the venue for the preview of the lots.
Of course, not everyone can come in to view the preview of the auction items, otherwise it will be crowded and unsafe. Only those who have applied for a qualification certificate to participate in the auction, and some specific people can enter, and apply for a certificate to enter the auction.
The qualification certificate for conducting auctions requires a certain deposit. This is to prevent someone from deliberately causing trouble and randomly bidding, resulting in failed auctions.
In a auction preview venue of several hundred square meters, you can see dozens of auction items arranged in a variety of ways, all placed in a glass-covered platform. In addition, there are six or seven security personnel, and there are no people who come to actually visit the auction preview.
How many, only a dozen people, scattered in this huge exhibition hall.
"There were quite a lot of people yesterday, dozens of them," Gao Dewei said.
"Let's go in and take a look. By the way, where is Qiu Ying's poetic picture album that President Gao likes? Let's go take a look first?"
"Hey, okay, it's over there. I'll take you to take a look. I looked at it yesterday, but I didn't see anything. I have to let you, an expert, come over." Gao Dewei said with a loud smile.
"Brother Gao, please don't..." Xue Chen was about to be humble and not praise him as an expert, but before he could finish his words, there was a chuckle from behind, and then someone said something in Cantonese.
Xue Chen didn't know Cantonese very well, so he didn't hear clearly what the person behind him said. On the contrary, Gao Dewei seemed to understand. He looked back and replied very displeasedly: "Boy, be more polite with your words."
What do you mean? What's wrong with the mainlanders? This little brother of mine is an expert in this business, what is bragging?"
Xue Chen understood as soon as he heard what Gao Dewei said. He must have just heard Gao Dewei say that he was an expert. Someone was unhappy, and he seemed to miss the locals of Xiangjiang. When he turned around, he saw three people standing behind him.
, two men and one woman, both young. When he glanced at the face of one of the men, his eyes flickered.
The younger of the two men was speaking just now. He was wearing a very flamboyant pink suit, with his hands in his pockets. He glanced at Xue Chen and chuckled: "Funny, expert? It looks like the one over there."
Experts are worthless, Brother Zhao, Miss Ling, don’t you think so?”
The woman was in her prime, with a pretty face, and she was even more elegantly dressed. She was wearing a pearl and diamond necklace and earrings, which made her look jewel-like. She was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family. She didn't say anything, but gave her a smile from the corner of her lips.
Xue Chen, obviously also found it funny that such a young person is called an expert?
But the man called Brother Zhao stood there with a gloomy expression, staring at Xue Chen, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, and for a long time, he let out an angry low roar: "
It's you?!"
Gao Dewei turned his head and glanced at Xue Chen in surprise. Does that mean you know him?
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhao Hengzhao? It's been a long time no see." Xue Chen greeted with a faint smile.
The person in front of me is none other than Zhao Heng, who was the chief appraiser of Fuji Auction Branch in Haicheng City and a disciple of Cai Youde, the founder of Fuji Auction and the master appraisal master of Xiangjiang. It can be said that the two of them are old acquaintances.
Zhao Heng stared at Xue Chen. He never thought that he would see this person again in his life. When he saw this face that made him grit his teeth, a large number of very angry memories came to his mind.
If it weren't for Xue Chen, Fuji Auction's branch in Haicheng might have achieved complete success, and he had already become one of the managers of the branch.
But the result was that the branch went bankrupt and he returned to Xiangjiang in despair. He almost went crazy. If it weren't for his master, he might have been kicked out by Fuji Auction. After he came back, people around him often asked
He didn't know how to answer why he came back from the mainland. It couldn't be because of one person.
The man who just made a mocking sound and the elegantly dressed woman looked at Zhao Heng who had suddenly changed his expression a little strangely, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Xue Chen!" Zhao Heng said these two words with great force, "How dare you come to Xiangjiang!"
Xue Chen smiled and looked at Zhao Heng calmly: "I really want to know why I can't come to Xiangjiang? Well, Mr. Zhao."
"You! Asking questions knowingly!" Zhao Heng said in a cold voice, his eyes were extremely gloomy, and the resentment that had been suppressed for more than half a year surged up, making him want to hit someone immediately.
Xue Chen still just shook his head and ignored Zhao Heng. He shook his head, turned his head and said to Gao Dewei: "Let's go over there."
"Let's go." Gao Dewei also glanced at Zhao Heng and walked away with Xue Chen.
When Xue Chen walked away, Zhao Heng's face was still very ugly, and he stared at Xue Chen's back with cold and resentful eyes.
"Mr. Zhao, did you have a problem with that person?" the woman called Miss Ling asked.
Zhao Heng snorted dullly and said with suppressed anger: "It's him who caused problems in the operation of our Fuji Auction branch in Haicheng and had to cancel it and return it."
"Oh?" Miss Ling didn't know much about the opposite. She didn't understand. How could one person force the Fuji Auction branch to close? It's very strange.
It was said that the young man in a pink suit next to him was very close to Zhao Heng. He had some knowledge of what happened to his brother Zhao at the Haicheng branch. When he heard what Zhao Heng said, his face had a strange look:
"it's him?"
He vaguely heard that the branch's problem was with a final item in the first auction. Not only Brother Zhao, but also Mr. Cai didn't see the problem. However, after the auction, the seller came to visit him.
, and pointed out the problems with the lot in public, conclusively proving that it was a fake.
It was precisely for this reason that the branch office established by Fuji Auction in Haicheng came to a disastrous end. It is said that the buyer had the guidance of an expert, so that he could point out the problems with the lot.
Looking at Xue Chen who had walked away, the young man in the pink suit frowned deeply. If this is really the case, then it would not be an exaggeration to call this person an expert...
"Brother Zhao, this kid actually came to Xiangjiang and came to your door all by himself. Do you want me to find some friends from the club and give him a good beating?"
Zhao Heng glanced at his little brother and coughed lightly: "Xiaojun, you have to be a responsible person, and you can't do things that are illegal, do you understand?"
As he said this, he thought in his heart, didn't you see Miss Ling here? Even if you want to find someone, you should talk about it after you go back! Otherwise, what will Miss Ling think? Also, if you are looking for someone, it will still be useful.
You.
On the side, Miss Ling also said softly: "Mr. Zhao is right. If there are conflicts and disputes, they can be resolved face to face. You must not do anything that violates the law."
"Miss Ling is what I thought." Zhao Heng slowly calmed down the unhappiness on his face, glanced at Xue Chen in the distance from the corner of his eye, and snorted heavily in his heart.
Since he is here, he must be participating in the Fuji Spring Photo Shoot, so he cannot leave Xiangjiang soon. Naturally, there will be plenty of time for him to make arrangements and let him have a good drink and exchange with this old acquaintance! (To be completed)
