After having lunch at Xiao's house, Hong Yu got into Xiao Ling'er's car and set off for downtown Jiangzhou.
On the way, Zhou Wanrou sent him a WeChat message.
Click to take a look.
Zhou Wanrou: "Xiaoyu, are you free in the afternoon? If you are not free, then I will have to go alone."
Hong Yu was sitting in the passenger seat, frowning, not knowing how to reply.
Xiao Ling'er noticed Hong Yu holding his cell phone and looking at it with a not very good expression. He asked with concern: "Brother Xiao Yu, what happened?"
Hong Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's okay."
After that, he put away his phone and pretended not to see the message.
When we get to the auction site later, we can adapt accordingly.
Shortly after;
Xiao Linger drove the car to the bottom of a building.
On the wall above the building are written the three characters "Xintiandi".
As a native of Jiangzhou, Hong Yu naturally knew the name of this building.
This building has a total of ninety-nine floors and a height of 320 meters. It is the tallest building in Jiangzhou City.
Nearly half of the well-known companies in Jiangzhou have rented office space here, and the rent is extremely expensive.
"It turns out that this auction will be held in Xintiandi."
Hong Yu said casually.
"yes!"
Xiao Ling'er nodded: "Because this auction was organized by the boss of Xintiandi."
"Is the boss of Xintiandi a member of the four major families in Jiangzhou?"
Hong Yu asked curiously.
He felt that except for the four major families, no one could afford to build such a tall building.
Xiao Ling'er shook his head and said: "No, as far as I know, this Xintiandi Building is actually the property of the Huang family in Yanjing, and its boss is a descendant of the Huang family."
"oh?"
Hong Yu frowned slightly, a little surprised, and said: "So, the Huang family in Yanjing should have a good background."
Xiao Ling'er nodded in agreement with Hong Yu's point of view and said:
"Yes, the Huang family in Yanjing is one of the eight major families in Yanjing and one of the eight strongest families in China. Even my Xiao family does not dare to offend these eight families easily."
"So, Brother Xiaoyu, do you know why no one dares to build a building taller than Xintiandi in Jiangzhou? Because whoever dares to build it will be against the Huang family of Yanjing."
Hong Yu smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect that the Huang family of Yanjing is so powerful that not even the four major families in Jiangzhou dare to challenge him."
"Of course."
Xiao Ling'er said: "The Huang family in Yanjing has been passed down to this day and has hundreds of thousands of years of history. They all have deep backgrounds in politics, the military, and business, which is far beyond what the so-called four major families in Jiangzhou can compare with."
"Sister Ling'er, I didn't expect you know so much and have so much knowledge." Hong Yu praised.
Xiao Ling'er smiled and said: "Brother Xiaoyu, I have lived in this aristocratic circle since I was a child, so I naturally understand some common sense here. It's not worth mentioning, and it's not much knowledge. In fact, all the children of the slightly powerful family know about Yan.
The eight most powerful families in Beijing."
When Hong Yu thought about it, it was the same.
If you are not in the circle of wealthy people, you will naturally not be able to understand these things.
It's like rich people don't understand how farmers farm.
The poor and the rich are actually people from two different worlds.
While the two were chatting, Xiao Linger had already driven the car into the underground parking lot.
After parking the car, the two got out of the car one after another, walked to the elevator entrance and took the elevator.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the 88th floor.
After passing through a corridor of more than ten meters, the two were stopped by several security guards at the entrance to the auction.
"Sir, Miss, I'm sorry, please show your tickets."
One of the security guards said.
Xiao Linger took out an admission ticket with a seat number on it and handed it to the security guard for inspection.
After a brief look, the security guard immediately let you go, "Sir, Miss, please come inside."
Go to the auction site.
Hong Yu saw a huge stage at the first sight.
On the stage, there is a huge electronic screen, which looks very advanced.
Under the stage, there are rows of tables and chairs.
At this moment, people were already sitting in many seats.
Judging by their clothes, they are all successful people.
"Miss Xiao, long time no see. Welcome."
At this time, a young woman with a noble temperament wearing a professional suit came over and greeted Xiao Ling'er with a smile.
While speaking, she glanced at Hong Yu intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes obviously a little surprised.
In her mind, this was the first time Xiao Linger brought a man to the auction site, which was a bit interesting.
"Manager Gao, long time no see."
Xiao Linger nodded and smiled at the young woman.
The young woman is the manager responsible for the auction site and is also the host.
"Ms. Xiao, what box number did you book?" Manager Gao asked.
"Box No. 6." Xiao Linger showed the ticket in his hand, which had the box number on it.
"Miss Xiao, come with me."
Manager Gao extended his hand in an invitation gesture and immediately led the way.
Naturally, this kind of treatment is not available to ordinary guests. Only guests who have booked private room seats can enjoy it.
Because, a box seat costs 20,000 yuan in service fees.
An ordinary seat only costs 2,000 yuan.
After walking around the seats under the stage and walking more than ten meters to the east, an arched door appeared.
Entering the gate, there is a spacious indoor staircase on the left.
Under the guidance of Manager Gao, Hong Yu and Xiao Linger walked along the stairs to the second floor inside.
The corridor on the second floor is circular. Standing in the corridor, you can clearly see the movement of the stage below.
Around the corridor, there are private rooms, twenty or thirty in total.
At the door of box No. 6, Manager Gao stopped, pushed open the box door, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, please come in."
Xiao Linger nodded and walked into the box.
Hong Yu followed closely behind.
The private room is about thirty square meters and is well decorated, with a bar-shaped sofa placed in the middle.
In front of the sofa, there is a huge LCD monitor.
The picture on the monitor is exactly what is happening at the auction downstairs.
Later, when you sit in front of the sofa and look at the screen, you can see everything going on downstairs.
Moreover, through the window behind the monitor, you can also clearly see what is happening on the stage downstairs.
But the people downstairs knew nothing about the situation in the box.
Hong Yu guessed that this should be a box specially set up for some customers who do not want to reveal their identities to the public.
And this is exactly what Hong Yu wanted.
He had been worried just now, what would he do if he met Zhou Wanrou here?
It's okay now. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet that girl if I hide in this box.
Hong Yu was secretly happy and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Xiao, you need something to drink. I'll ask someone to bring it to you now."
Manager Gao asked.
Xiao Linger looked at Hong Yu, "Brother Xiaoyu, what do you want to drink?"
Brother Xiaoyu?
Manager Gao's eyes brightened when he heard this. As a woman, she could see that Xiao Linger's eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness when she looked at Hong Yu.
Moreover, he asked the other party immediately, which showed that he was very concerned.
"This little guy is not simple. He can even hook up with Miss Xiao."
Manager Gao somewhat admired Hong Yu's ability to pick up girls.
Hong Yu said to Xiao Ling'er: "Just like you."
"Okay, Manager Gao, let's have two cups of coffee," Xiao Ling'er said.
"Okay, Miss Xiao, I'll make arrangements right away."
Manager Gao said: "If there is nothing else, I will quit first."
Xiao Linger nodded.
Manager Gao then exited the box.
"Brother Xiaoyu, if you like a certain collection later and want to take a photo, just click this."
Xiao Linger picked up something similar to a remote control on the coffee table in front of the sofa and said:
"This is a ticker. When you press it, it means raising a sign, and our box door will ring a bell and light up."
Hong Yu smiled and said: "I didn't expect this to be quite advanced. However, I just came here to accompany you to have a look. I am not very interested in collecting antiques."
"Brother Xiaoyu, thank you for taking the time to accompany me here." Xiao Linger felt warm in her heart.
"Sister Ling'er, don't be so polite, it makes me a little cautious." Hong Yu scratched his head and laughed.
Xiao Ling'er chuckled: "Okay, I won't be polite to you, brother Xiaoyu. Let's sit down and chat."
Hong Yu nodded and sat on the sofa.
Xiao Ling'er sat next to him, and because of the close distance, he could smell the woman's body fragrance.
Ding dong!
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Xiao Linger said.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and a young waitress walked in, holding two cups of coffee in both hands.
"Miss Xiao, please use it slowly."
The waitress placed two cups of coffee on the coffee table.
"Thank you, please go down."
Xiao Ling'er waved.
"Miss Xiao, I'll be waiting at the door. If you need anything, just call me."
The waitress nodded and stepped back.
Each private room has a waiter dedicated to providing services.
"Brother Xiaoyu, try the coffee here, it tastes pretty good."
Xiao Ling'er said, it can be seen that he comes here often.
Hong Yu was about to pick up the coffee and taste it when his cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw, as expected, it was Zhou Wanrou calling.
