The manager apologized to Chen Rui and Gao Xuecheng again and again, and politely invited the two and the host into the door.

After passing through one passage, I came to another gate.

Chen Rui raised his eyebrows and said to the manager: "Your auction inspection is too strict, are you here to participate in the auction or to meet the prime minister?"

The manager accompanied the smiling face, "This is also to ensure the safety of your distinguished guests, rest assured, with me, no one dares to check you." ”

Soon, Chen Rui and the three of them followed the manager into the gate and came to the huge banquet hall.

There were already quite a few people seated in the banquet hall, and there were long tables in two rows against the wall, all of which were full of sumptuous food.

In front of the banquet hall is a high platform that has been built, and on the high platform, a coolly dressed woman is dancing an exotic song and dance.

Many of the guests who were already sitting in their seats looked at them with straight eyes.

Chu Yan glanced at Chen Rui quietly at this time, and saw that Chen Rui's gaze only stayed on the woman on the stage for a moment before moving away, and raised an eyebrow.

"I really can't see that you are still a decent gentleman. ”

Chen Rui smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

After finding three vacant seats side by side, Chen Rui helped Gao Xuecheng and led Chu Yan over to sit down.

Chu Yan couldn't sit still at all, she came to participate in the auction just to see what these black auctions were playing.

"I'll go over and get something to eat, Elder Gao, what do you want to eat?"

Although she didn't know Gao Xuecheng's true identity, Chu Yan was still very polite to her elders.

Gao Xuecheng smiled kindly, "No, you are a girl and be careful yourself." ”

Chu Yan nodded obediently, taking the opportunity to get food, observing the people who came to participate in the auction, and also observing the terrain of this black market auction.

Chen Rui and Gao Xuecheng sat side by side, and when they saw Chen Rui starting to watch the singing and dancing performances on the high platform with great interest, Gao Xuecheng couldn't help but shake his head.

"You kid is really scheming, the Miss Chu was there before, and she didn't even aim at the stage, but now as soon as she leaves, her original form will be revealed. ”

Chen Rui smiled awkwardly, "I just think this performance is good and innovative, and this exotic performance can also arouse people's emotions." ”

After saying this, Chen Rui hurriedly changed the topic.

"Having said that, Guo Changan should really come and take a look, the pre-auction hot-spots of people's black market auctions are better than theirs. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a pleasant greeting in front of him.

Chen Rui raised his eyebrows, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.

Is there really such a spirit, as soon as Cao Cao Cao is said, Cao Cao will arrive?

Not far ahead, Guo Changan was talking to a few people about propaganda, and he should have met an acquaintance.

Chatting and chatting, he seemed to hear someone behind him mention his name, and he quickly turned his head and directly met Chen Rui's gaze.

"I met an old friend, you talk first, I'll come when I go. ”

Guo Changan rushed to a few acquaintances, and walked directly towards Chen Rui as he spoke.

But when he walked to Chen Rui's side, he was directly stunned and stunned.

"Elder Gao!"

After being stunned for a moment, Guo Changan's excited voice came out immediately, and the whole person seemed a little at a loss.

Chen Rui also smiled and spoke, "Old Guo, do you know my master?"

Master!

Just these two words made Guo Changan fall into a daze again.

When he reacted, he waved his hand again and again, "Don't call me Guo Lao, at most call me Guo Lao, otherwise wouldn't you put my seniority and Gao Lao together?" ”

After saying this, Guo Changan looked at Gao Xuecheng respectfully, "Elder Gao, I am Guo Changan from Zhongdu Auction House, and it is really an honor to meet you." ”

Gao Xuecheng nodded with a light smile, "This unsuccessful apprentice has caused you a lot of trouble before, so you have to bother to take care of it." ”

"You talk, leave me alone. ”

Guo Changan was simply flattered, and he didn't dare to disturb Gao Xuecheng anymore, so he pulled Chen Rui to sit down at the empty table on the other side.

At this moment, I still feel emotional.

"Brother Chen, you are too busy, you are actually Elder Gao's apprentice, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Guo Changan looked at Chen Rui with a little accusation in his eyes at the moment, but more of a sigh.

He was still thinking about what kind of master could teach him to become such a high disciple.

And now everything has an answer.

It turned out that Chen Rui was a highly educated apprentice, no wonder he had such eyesight at a young age.

"Isn't it that I'm not good at learning and I'm embarrassed to mention the name of my master. Chen Rui spoke perfunctorily.

Guo Changan was a little speechless when he heard this.

If treasure connoisseurs like Chen Rui are not proficient in learning, then they are not worthy of being called masters.

Shaking their heads, the two continued to chat.

Unconsciously, the singing and dancing on the high platform stopped.

The moderator walked up to the stage.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend our auction, which is about to begin, so please return to your seats quickly. ”

The host's voice came out, and Guo Changan reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Rui and returned to his previous position.

Chen Rui also returned to Gao Xuecheng's side and sat down again, smiled respectfully, and looked at Gao Xuecheng.

Gao Xuecheng nodded, which was a response.

Soon, Chu Yan, who had been hanging out for a long time, also came back.

Chen Rui leaned over and lowered his voice and asked, "What cultural relics are you looking for?"

Chu Yan also lowered her voice, "This is confidential, don't ask around." ”

Chen Rui was happy to hear this, "You think I'm happy to know, it's just right if you don't tell me, then you can find it yourself, my task can be regarded as complete." ”

Chu Yan nodded, but she didn't speak, her eyes kept looking at the high platform.

The host was still talking high-sounding nonsense on the high platform, and seeing that the people below were a little impatient to listen, he stopped talking and walked off the high platform.

The beautiful lights on the high platform turned on again, and the auctioneer in Tang costume walked up with a tray.

This is an auctioneer in his 50s, with a very friendly smile and a very reliable feeling.

After he came to the stage, he didn't say any nonsense, but immediately under the eyes of everyone, he uncovered the red silk covered on the tray.

"This is the first lot of this auction, and it is ten miscellaneous antiques, which are packaged for auction. ”

"If you're interested, you can come on stage, but it's only five minutes. ”

When the words landed, the treasure connoisseurs present rushed to the high platform.

Chu Yan also pulled Chen Rui up to take a look.

So many people watch it together, and they can only watch it for a total of 5 minutes, in fact, it is not accurate at all, and everyone is just asking for peace of mind.

Soon, 5 minutes are over.

"I announce the start of the auction of the first lot, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan and a price increase of not less than 10,000 yuan each time. ”
