At noon the next day, Ning Chen, who had just finished class, was pulled out of the school by Sun Xiaoxiao and Guan Ping. Despite the disdainful look on Zhang Hanjie's face, they went to a Western restaurant near the school together.
Eat steak.
"Xiao Ningzi, I'm going to go out with Pingping to relax." Sun Xiaoxiao cut off a piece of steak and said while chewing.
"Okay, after what happened, it's good to go out for a walk." Ning Chen nodded.
"But Aunt Liu is worried and insists that we bring some bodyguards." Sun Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense. What do you mean when we go out to play, we bring bodyguards with us."
Ning Chen laughed, "This has nothing to do with me. Let's see if you can convince her."
"Of course it has something to do with you. As long as you can stay with us, Aunt Liu will promise that we won't need bodyguards." Sun Xiaoxiao said with a sly smile.
"I..." Ning Chen almost spit out a mouthful of thick soup, "I have to go to class, how can I have time to accompany you?"
"You have finished writing your graduation thesis and have learned almost all the required courses. The only thing left is the exam next month. You will definitely pass it, so don't worry about this." Sun Xiaoxiao smiled.
Said, "And we can take a trip to the Philippines, how about it?"
Ning Chen actually used Zhou Mengyao to seduce him. Ning Chen shook his head disdainfully. Isn't it easy to see her? You can just fly there and you don't have to accompany them everywhere?
"No!" Ning Chen shook his head.
If you have this time, you might as well go to the library and search the Buddhist scriptures and Taoism. There are so many Buddhist and Taoist scriptures that Ning Chen knows only the superficial knowledge, and he doesn’t know how many essences have not been discovered.
"Go." Guan Ping had a fruit salad in front of her. She looked at Ning Chen with eyes full of expectation, feeling like little stars twinkling in her eyes. "Without you by my side now, I really don't dare to go out."
It’s over.”
"Hey, hey, hey, don't do this. Stop it. Xiao Ningzi is Xiao Mengyao's favorite. Just let Ning Chen play with us. I agreed to Aunt Liu's invitation to Ning Chen to accompany us. You can't take advantage of her.
Love!" Sun Xiaoxiao waved her hand and slapped Guan Ping in front of her.
"I know, I know." Guan Ping pushed away Sun Xiaoxiao's hand, not caring at all, and said to Ning Chen with a smile as bright as a flower, "Ning Chen, please, we won't go far, even to Hong Kong City.
We traveled around Southeast Asia to relax, and finally went to the Philippines to take Zhou Mengyao with us, just in time to come back before New Year's Day."
"You still want to go to Hong Kong City?" Ning Chen rubbed his chin and said that his gold coins and pearls were about to be auctioned, so he could go and sign them and withdraw the money.
Seeing that Ning Chen was a little moved, Guan Ping hurriedly said, "Yes, is there anywhere you want to go?"
"Some things are going to be put up for auction at Juste, which should be in the next two days. If you go, you can take care of this matter by the way." Ning Chen said.
"Auction, what is it?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Some ancient European gold coins, and some pearls and gems," Ning Chen replied.
"Pearls and gems!" Guan Ping said in surprise.
Well, girls are interested in this kind of thing. Ning Chen guarantees that if they are boys, the first thing that attracts them will definitely be ancient European gold coins.
Although they were a little curious as to why Ning Chen had these things, Sun Xiaoxiao and Guan Ping were very sensible and did not ask further questions. Instead, they discussed enthusiastically how much these things could be sold for.
Although their families are not rich in money, this is their first experience with jewelry auctions, so they are very curious.
"Then we should go together. We can also go to Jiashide. When we went to the port city before, we had never visited it before." Sun Xiaoxiao agreed.
Ning Chen was dumbfounded, now he made a decision for himself?
"Tomorrow's flight, the first stop is Hong Kong City!" Sun Xiaoxiao and Guan Ping high-fived each other, and then began to eat.
…
As soon as Ning Chen and others came out of Gangcheng Airport, they saw Zhou Mengyao who was picking up the airport.
"Xiao Mengyao? I just told you yesterday that you were earlier than us today!" Sun Xiaoxiao said in surprise.
"Surprise? Hehe." Zhou Mengyao smiled and hugged Sun Xiaoxiao, then looked at Guan Ping, "Pingping."
"Mengyao." Although Guan Ping and Zhou Mengyao were in the same circle, they were not very familiar with each other. Instead, they were connected because Sun Xiaoxiao and Ning Chen were connected.
"Let's go, eat first, and then go to Jiashide!" Zhou Mengyao turned sideways and took Ning Chen's arm, stretched out her hand to pinch his waist, and asked in a low voice, "Does Pingping look good?"
"Not as good-looking as you." Ning Chen said with a bitter smile. He also told Zhou Mengyao about this when he called her yesterday. He said that he would arrive in the Philippines to see her in two days, but he did not expect that she would rush to the port city overnight.
After a little coquettishness, Zhou Mengyao came to Guan Ping and asked her about it with concern. Zhou Mengyao had also experienced similar dangers, so she could put herself in Guan Ping's shoes. Of course, she
I will definitely not tell Guan Ping and Sun Xiaoxiao.
After putting their luggage at the hotel, they had a Hong Kong-style lunch, among which the quicksand buns were Ning Chen's favorite, and they even took one in their hand before leaving.
Arriving at the Lishan Building, Liu Zhaoxing from Juste greeted him again, "Hello, Mr. Ning, please come this way. Your lot was just auctioned the day before yesterday. We will start the settlement and transfer on your side right away. It may take half an hour."
"Don't worry, can we take a tour?" Ning Chen asked casually.
"Of course, you can do whatever you want. There are photos of our past events here, as well as some collection models. Do you want me to designate a tour guide for you?" Liu Zhaoxing asked.
"No, it's not like you didn't introduce me here." Sun Xiaoxiao refused, pulling Guan Ping and Zhou Mengyao to the side. Ning Chen had nothing to do, so he followed behind them to visit.
At this moment, Ning Chen's ears twitched and he vaguely heard Liu Zhaoxing in an office, seemingly arguing with someone.
"This is my client...we have already negotiated...even so..."
"This is a breach of contract..."
Half an hour later, Liu Zhaoxing looked a little embarrassed, holding a document and hurried to the hall, motioning for Ning Chen to take a step to speak.
"Mr. Ning, I'm very sorry. News just came from the headquarters that your auction involved some ownership disputes in Europe, so we spent more money on preparing the information." Liu Zhaoxing said with an ugly expression.
"How much do I have left?" Ning Chen asked with a half-smile.
"35%." Liu Zhaoxing said with difficulty, "So you can only get 35% of the auction price."
"What! 35%, do you think we don't understand the market?" Guan Pingfeng, who was approaching, glared and said angrily, "Call your general manager out, I want to listen to his explanation!"
Ning Chen patted Guan Ping's shoulder lightly and asked softly, "Is this what you were arguing with your general manager just now?"
