Chapter 234 Dragon Ring Tremor: An Inconspicuous Statue
"Qiaoqiao, who do you think is the vixen?"
Hearing the woman's muttering, a young man in a suit sitting next to her asked with concern.
"Look over there yourself."
Qiao Qiao pouted at Jiang Sheng's position in displeasure.
The young man in a suit looked over curiously, and then his expression changed slightly: "Jiang Sheng, he actually came to the auction!"
"Jiang Sheng is Miss Ji's boyfriend, why is there such a clingy little girl beside him?"
"Hmph! You have always said that Jiang Sheng is Miss Ji's man, so I must keep a distance from him."
Qiaoqiao complained dissatisfiedly: "It's better now. He has been entangled by other goblins, and I have no chance again."
The young man smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
As time went by, guests from all regions of Jiangdong Province entered the venue one after another.
In the venue, the hall on the first floor is full of ordinary seats, and there are several private rooms on the second floor specially prepared for those with special status who are not convenient to show up.
At this time, Ruan Lingyu was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a private room on the second floor, looking at Jiang Sheng in the crowd with a complicated expression.
Although she didn't have much contact with Jiang Sheng, Ruan Lingyu felt that Jiang Sheng would never be stable at this auction, and might cause some big trouble again?
Ten minutes later, after the host gave a wonderful opening, the auction officially began.
As several rounds of bidding ended, Jiang Sheng, who was originally very excited, was disappointed.
Although everything that can appear at the auction is valuable, they are all antique calligraphy and paintings, and I haven’t seen the medicinal materials Jiang Sheng wants yet!
Jiang Sheng was not interested in these things, but Dong Qing'er was very interested in these things and participated in the bidding several times.
"Brother Jiang, why aren't you excited at all?"
After successfully winning a pair of gold and jade bracelets for two million, Dong Qing'er's face turned red with excitement, but when she saw that Jiang Sheng was about to fall asleep, she immediately asked.
"I'm not interested in these vulgar things."
Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said boredly: "If I had known that the auction would be full of these items, I wouldn't have come at all. It's such a waste of time!"
"The things they auction are all good ones, and they start at a million dollars at the end, but you actually say these are vulgar things!"
Dong Qing'er rolled her eyes at Jiang Sheng speechlessly. As an ordinary person, it was difficult for her to understand Jiang Sheng's value standards.
"You won't understand!"
Jiang Sheng smiled and turned to look at the Wu brothers: "You must also feel bored, right?"
"No, it's not boring at all."
The Wu brothers shook their heads at the same time, staring longingly at the hostess on the stage: "The legs are so long, and they are wearing black stockings, and their figures are so perfect..."
Jiang Sheng had a dark look on his face, these two cheap sworn brothers are good at everything, but they are just too perverted!
"Next, the item to be auctioned is also an antique."
The beautiful hostess who was stared at by the Wu brothers pointed to an object covered with red cloth on the table with a smile on her face and introduced: "This object has been identified by experts as an antique from the Qing Dynasty..."
Hearing this, many people couldn't help but boo.
“Can things from the pre-Qing Dynasty be considered antiques?”
"My chamber pots are all from the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was only a few years ago. Things from that time are just garbage in my eyes."
“The standard of this auction is a bit low!”
…
Objects from the Qing Dynasty are treasures in the eyes of ordinary people, but the guests present are all worth a lot of money and they don't like this item at all.
Facing the boos from the audience, the hostess was a little embarrassed, but she still introduced the product very professionally and lifted the red cloth.
They saw a dark statue that was twenty centimeters high, about ten centimeters in diameter, carved with a ferocious face, and made of an unknown material.
"This is the so-called antique of the Qing Dynasty. What is it?"
"It looks horrifying. Could it be that it was specially used for burials?"
"It's really unlucky. It failed to sell, so only a ghost would buy this thing."
…
People who originally had no favorable impressions of objects from the Qing Dynasty became even more resistant when they saw such a weird statue, and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Dear distinguished guests, please abide by the auction order."
Miss etiquette comforted her helplessly: "The starting price of this item is 500,000 yuan, which is the lowest price among all the items this time."
"Half a million!"
Just when everyone was scoffing at the statue, thinking that the auction would fail, someone suddenly raised a sign and spoke.
For a moment, everyone looked in the direction of the sound, wondering who would be interested in such a thing?
The bidders were two mysterious men sitting in a dark corner, wearing black robes that covered their faces.
"Who are these people? Are they from a minority group? Why are they dressed like this? It's so weird."
"Anyone who can buy something like that is definitely not a normal person!"
"That's fine. Let's end this round of bidding quickly so that we can start the next round."
…
After everyone looked at the two mysterious people, they ignored them and just regarded them as two weirdos who had never seen the world.
"Six hundred thousand!"
Just when everyone thought that the two mysterious men would successfully take down the statue, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"Holy crap, there's actually competition for this thing. Is there something wrong with it?"
Everyone was immediately confused and looked for another buyer.
The person who bid 600,000 yuan was none other than Jiang Sheng.
"Brother, you are crazy!"
Dong Qing'er looked at Jiang Sheng in confusion: "Why did you buy such a weird thing?"
The Wu brothers and Yan Pojun also looked at Jiang Sheng in confusion, but they didn't ask any more questions.
No matter what Jiang Sheng does, they just need support!
"I think this is a good thing, much better than the so-called rare treasures before!"
Jiang Sheng touched the dragon pattern ring on his hand and responded casually.
In fact, Jiang Sheng didn't see anything special about the statue.
But when the statue appeared, the dragon pattern ring on his hand started to tremble strangely. This was something that had never happened before.
When the dragon pattern ring responded, even if Jiang Sheng didn't know what was going on, he raised his placard to bid without hesitation.
"I always thought the dragon pattern ring was a dead thing, but I didn't expect it to react like this."
Jiang Sheng frowned and stared at the statue on the stage: "Although I don't know the mystery of that statue, since it can make the dragon pattern ring react, I must take it down and see if it has any effect.
What’s so extraordinary?”
"Seven hundred thousand!"
The mysterious man was silent for a moment before continuing to bid. Apparently he did not expect anyone to compete with him.
"One million!" Jiang Sheng did not give in.
"It's one million. Someone has bid one million. Is there any bidding left?"
Seeing someone competing, the hostess on the stage was very excited.
Miss etiquette thought that this statue would not be auctioned, but to her surprise, there were actually people competing for it, and the price had doubled.
"One and a half million!" The man in black robe continued to increase the price.
"It seems that I met someone who knows the goods."
Jiang Sheng frowned slightly, raised the sign, and said, "Five million!"
"Hiss tear!"
Upon hearing this quotation, the whole audience gasped.
Although no one was short of money, no one expected that someone would bid five million for such an inconspicuous, even unlucky item. This is absolutely crazy!
