Chapter 40: The villain is hateful and difficult to deal with
The New Century Autumn Auction venue is at Mingcheng International Hotel, which is also one of the famous five-star hotels in Changcheng.
When Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng arrived, it was still more than half an hour before the auction started. They went up to the 33rd floor of the hotel, showed the invitation letter, and successfully entered the venue.
The standards of the autumn auction in the new century are still very high, and ordinary people cannot enter the auction. If Chen Jing's Qiyang stone inkstone was not among the auction items, he would definitely not be qualified to participate in this auction because of insufficient assets and social status. Not enough either.
When the two arrived, there were already quite a few people in the venue. Chen Jing took a cursory glance and found that he didn't recognize most of them, but it was obvious that these people were older, and all of them had extraordinary aura, or had wealth and honor. You may feel angry, or you may feel oppressed by being in a high position for a long time.
The few people Chen Jing knew were all real big shots in Changcheng, business tycoons who occasionally appeared on TV.
"When the auction is over, I will take you to meet some people and get to know them first." Zhao Zheng suddenly said.
Chen Jingding nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Uncle Zhao."
At this time, Shen Jing, who was busy greeting people from all walks of life in the venue, saw Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng from a distance, walked quickly to them, and said with a smile on her face: "Xiao Chen, Boss Zhao."
Zhao Zheng responded with a smile: "Minister Shen, thank you for your hard work."
"Sister Shen." Chen Jing also said hello. Shen Jing focused her eyes on him, looked at him carefully, and said, "Xiao Chen, you look good in a suit."
Chen Jing smiled slightly embarrassedly when he heard this.
Shen Jing added: "By the way, Xiao Chen, I have good news for you. Your Qiyang stone inkstone has been promoted very well. I just asked around and it seems that many people are interested. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the sale being rejected." Already."
Speaking of this, Shen Jing herself was a little happy. After all, the Qiyang Stone Inkstone was a promotion she had decided to sell. Not to mention the sale at a premium, at least it couldn't be unsold.
"I have to thank you for this, Sister Shen." Chen Jing also said happily.
Shen Jing blinked and said jokingly: "You're welcome. You might be my best friend's husband in the future. We are all on our own."
"Haha, yes, he is one of our own." Zhao Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this.
Shen Jing still had a lot of things on her hands, so she didn't talk much with Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng. After letting the two of them relax, she went to greet other people.
Zhao Zheng himself is also a celebrity in Changcheng Antique Shop. He has accumulated many contacts over the years, and soon acquaintances came up to chat and reminisce.
While they were chatting and reminiscing, Chen Jing also knew that it was not convenient for Uncle Zhao to introduce people to him, so he took the initiative to take a booklet of the auction items, found a quiet place to read them, and waited for the auction to start.
The auction items in this autumn auction of the new century are very mixed, ranging from antiques to modern works of art, with values ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions. Among them, Chen Jing’s Qiyang stone inkstone can only be ranked in the middle. The order is almost in the middle.
This is barely a good order, since his Qiyang Stone Inkstone cannot be the finale anyway.
"Is it you?" Just as Chen Jing was watching, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Chen Jingxun looked up and found that it was an "acquaintance". It was Huang Jie who had wanted to become Li Xun's disciple before. Speaking of which, he and Chen Jing had some issues.
"It's really you. How did a young apprentice like you get in?" After Huang Jie confirmed that it was Chen Jing, he immediately spoke with a sarcastic look on his face.
When Chen Jing heard this, he sneered: "Mr. Huang's mouth is really smelly as always."
Huang Jie ridiculed him when he first came up, and Chen Jing certainly wouldn't be polite.
"Do you really fucking think of yourself as a person? If Li Xun hadn't been there last time, I would have apologized to you for being such a piece of trash!" Huang Jie cursed with a gloomy face.
This Huang Jie's character is really disgusting. After deciding that he could not accept Li Xun as his disciple, he has now begun to call him by his first name. His villainous attitude is clearly evident.
"Get lost." Chen Jing was too lazy to talk to him and said coldly.
Huang Jie said angrily: "Very good, just wait for me. Do you really think Zhao Zheng can protect you? You are naive!"
After Huang Jie left, Chen Jing frowned slightly. A villain like Huang Jie is like a fly. Don't take him seriously. He keeps buzzing in your ears, which is annoying.
The villain is hateful and difficult to deal with.
Chen Jing thought for a moment, walked over to Zhao Zheng when no one was around, and said, "Uncle Zhao, I just met Huang Jie."
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered who Huang Jie was and asked, "What did he say to you?"
Chen Jing truthfully explained the conversation he had just had with Huang Jie. Zhao Zheng frowned slightly and said, "He dares to talk like that. He must have found some new backer."
He called Li Xun by his first name, and his words indicated that he did not take Zhao Zheng seriously. Huang Jie would not have dared to do this if he had not found a new backer.
Afterwards, Zhao Zheng scanned the entire venue and soon saw Huang Jie's figure, but his focus was on a middle-aged man next to Huang Jie.
"It turns out it's him. No wonder Huang Jie dared to speak arrogantly." Zhao Zheng said with sudden realization.
Chen Jing also looked at the middle-aged man and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Zhao, is that man the boss of our antique shop?"
"No." Zhao Zheng shook his head and said: "That's Cao Tianhua, a well-known real estate businessman in Changcheng. He has a net worth of hundreds of millions. He was a person who was involved in society in his early years. He has just cleaned up in recent years. He also likes to collect antiques.
But his reputation in the circle is not very good."
A real estate businessman with a net worth of hundreds of millions, he is not considered a big shot in Changcheng at all, but for the current Chen Jing, he is still someone he needs to look up to.
"Don't worry, in this day and age, Cao Tianhua has to follow the rules in whatever he wants to do. Besides, he may not really go all out to help Huang Jie deal with you, and he can't save the face to embarrass you, a junior." Zhao
Zheng patted Chen Jing's shoulder and told him not to worry.
Chen Jingding nodded and asked: "Uncle Zhao, as Huang Jie said just now, he should still find a way to make things happen. What do you think he will do?"
Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and responded: "Cao Tianhua is not from the antique shop after all. If Huang Jie wants to cause trouble for you, he can only do it from other aspects. Today's auction is an opportunity."
"Uncle Zhao, do you mean that Huang Jie will target my Qiyang stone inkstone?" Chen Jing said with a frown.
