Among the many high-rise buildings, an extended Lincoln drove smoothly on the wide avenue, constantly passing by giant imperialist-style buildings on both sides. The metal nameplates or stone carvings on the buildings recorded the important status of these buildings in American history.
.
The car turned onto what looked like a one-way street and drove slowly towards the back entrance of the Municipal Opera House.
On Pennsylvania Road, Lu Mingfei looked at the square building in front of him, which was more than 20 meters high. There were no windows, and only a row of exhaust fans at the top were slowly rotating.
Continuing forward, various high-end cars parked at the back entrance of the theater, their taillights flashed, and the doors that looked thick and strong opened. The first ones to get out were often men wearing black tuxedos or evening dresses, with white embroidered shirts and large blouses underneath.
The back of the head can be smeared to identify people.
Then the hand that stuck out from the car was wearing long white velvet gloves and a valuable silver watch. The man took his hand and pulled out the girl wrapped in mink and covered with a black veil. He stepped on it with his slender heels.
On the ground, the calf stretched out in a graceful arc, which was dazzling.
Amidst the white steam that escaped from nowhere, men and women walked arm in arm into the opera house, which took people back to the golden age of the 1950s and 1960s.
Lu Mingfei was welcomed out of the car by the waiter. He handed the invitation to the waiter. The waiter wearing a white tuxedo and white gloves immediately bowed and saluted, "Please follow me."
Then he walked towards the door, and Lu Mingfei followed him step by step.
Ye Xuan didn't expect that the principal was so deceitful that he threw him on the roadside like Lu Mingfei and ran away. He also asked him to find a way to get in by himself. It would be better if the noise got louder and louder.
Ye Xuan squatted on the curb and thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and made a call. Not long after, a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of him, and the person in charge of the Chicago Mint Club got out of the car and respectfully
Ye Xuan welcomed him into the car.
At the back door of the Opera House, Lu Mingfei, who was about to enter the theater, felt something and looked outside.
I saw a black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly parked at the entrance of the theater. The waiter in the car wearing a black waiter's uniform immediately got out of the car, opened the door respectfully, bowed and lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
Soon, a man got out of the car. He was slender and tall, with a handsome face and an indifferent expression. He was wearing a white handmade custom-made suit. He wore a Patek Philippe handmade mechanical watch on his wrist, and underneath were polished reflective Veilisr leather shoes.
The whole style is aristocratic.
Lu Mingfei couldn't imagine that this handsome guy with an unusually cool look was smiling playfully at him half an hour ago, and he almost didn't recognize him for a moment.
Ye Xuan stood by the car and glanced at the whole place. Everyone felt an inexplicable pressure coming on, and it disappeared in an instant.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's dumbfounded look, Ye Xuan almost laughed with his tense face, but he tried his best to control it, nodded to the waiter in black, lifted his feet and walked towards the theater with an indifferent expression.
The waiter inside the auction house changed his face slightly. Just as he was about to step forward and say something, he was stopped by the waiter in black who was following behind Ye Xuan. He took out the invitation and a letter of recommendation with Mint printed on the front and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter's expression changed and he bowed to Ye Xuan, "Please come in."
Then he hurriedly walked inside, probably to inform his superiors.
Ye Xuan followed up in a leisurely manner, and the entourage sent by the Mint Club followed respectfully behind him.
Everyone at the entrance of the theater stopped involuntarily. They looked here, curious about the identity of this young man with an aristocratic temperament, and all looked at him inquiringly.
Ye Xuan entered the gate and nodded slightly as he passed by Lu Mingfei. Almost no one saw the small movement. Lu Mingfei, however, quickly put away his shocked expression and nodded in response pretending to be serious.
"Don't show surprise when you see anything, just follow him in!" Ange's voice came to his ears. In his surprise, Lu Mingfei had just forgotten the wireless earphones in his ears.
Lu Mingfei looked at the back of Ye Xuan slowly walking in with his entourage, and the waiter next to him immediately guided him into the theater.
Passing through the dimly lit and long passage, the faint smell of perfume filled the air. Ye Xuan moved forward slowly. The pace of the man and woman in front of him was also unhurried. He could only see the man's solidity and thickness through the faint light.
The back view of the woman and the glistening skin on the woman’s bare shoulders.
Ye Xun moved forward with a calm expression. This was just a small matter to him. This time, it was stable!
There was a faint golden light penetrating through the darkness, and a huge crystal chandelier suddenly appeared in front of the field of vision. Soon there was light all around, and after passing through the dark passage, this was the main hall of the opera house.
Looking around, an atmosphere of glitz and luxury swept over the place. Giant pillars were regularly arranged like stone pillars reaching the sky, and gorgeous red fabrics with golden patterns were hung on them. Crystal chandeliers lit up one after another, dispelling the darkness of the hall.
The dome supported by huge pillars is painted with gorgeous murals, which is "Twilight of the Gods", the end of the world.
There is a wool carpet with a green mandala pattern, and the red suede seats are marked with serial numbers on brass nameplates. On the stage where the performance is supposed to be performed, a large scarlet curtain hangs quietly, as if a grand opera performance is about to begin.
Several middle-aged gentlemen in tuxedos suddenly walked out of an entrance, walked quickly to Ye Xuan, saluted respectfully, and took him to the luxury box on the left.
As a life member of the Mint Club, Ye Xuan is certainly entitled to enjoy all this. He only said two sentences on the phone call, one was that he was in Chicago, and the second was that he was going to attend the Sotheby's auction. Then
The people at Mint Club immediately helped him arrange it. The attire was luxurious, but Ye Xuan still couldn't get used to wearing this kind of suit. He felt that it would be more comfortable to wear a T-shirt, casual pants and sneakers.
Thinking of this, Ye Xun tilted his neck in displeasure, which shocked the person leading the way to immediately stop and greet him thoughtfully. After receiving an answer that it was okay, he continued walking towards the left box on the second floor.
Halfway through the journey, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a relatively special gaze looking from the upper right. He paused and looked up. Under the dark red curtain of the box, sat a girl wearing an embroidered robe and a golden veil.
The entire face is covered, only the dark eyes and the high bun are exposed.
She sat there quietly, with her eyes lowered. She looked young and majestic, like a queen who was coming to this event. But at this moment, the queen's eyes were looking here, and her dark and deep pupils were like biting eyes.
The black hole made people indulge in it. Ye Xun's eyes showed a strange light, and he saw the girl's appearance clearly.
Shutoku Mai.
There was also a faint smile in the girl's eyes, then she looked back and closed her eyes.
The middle-aged gentleman next to him observed all this carefully, and he kindly stepped forward and introduced him as a member recommended by the Mint Club. He was the second member besides Ye Xuan to come to the Sotheby's auction.
Ye Xuan nodded and motioned to the middle-aged gentleman to continue leading the way.
