Chapter 32: Housekeeping
However, plans can't keep up with changes. Under Jiang Qing's repeated beatings, Ji Chen reluctantly agreed to interview for the role in "Divine Dog Xiaoba", but Hong Xuansu's sudden phone call made Jiang Qing change her mind instantly.
What Hong Xuansu brought to Jiang Qing was very simple - there is an auction today, and there will be jade celebrities, if Jiang Qing is willing, you can contact it.
Regarding the jade celebrity, it was just that Jiang Qing said it casually in front of Hong Xuansu before, but I didn't expect Hong Xuansu to write it down.
However, jade celebrities and other things are secondary, Jiang Qing's goal is always the Philosopher's Stone, as long as there is news of the Philosopher's Stone, even if it is just a clue, she will spare no effort to rush over.
Ji Chen asked Jiang Qing not to be happy too early, often the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The night market under Hong Xuansu's management is mixed with dragons and snakes, and if you want to find clues about the Philosopher's Stone, on the one hand, you have to borrow Hong Xuansu's momentum, and on the other hand, they can try to break into the auction house.
Jiang Qing was taken aback by Ji Chen's idea, it is undeniable that this is the simplest and most effective method. But last time she and Ji Chen went to the night market, they also saw the defense of the inner market, and in this kind of heavily guarded situation, it was not easy to sneak in.
Ji Chen didn't think so, a dignified witch, didn't she have some special means, such as disguise.
When Ji Chen said this, Jiang Qing remembered his housekeeping skills. There are two things that witches are very powerful, one is magic potions, and the other is magic scrolls.
These are the two major skills of a witch, but whether it is a magic potion or the production of a magic scroll, in addition to the necessary materials, a large amount of magic is also required.
With all the money she has, making magic potions is already very difficult, where is the spare energy to make magic scrolls, and it is for two?
Ji Chen motioned to Jiang Qing to relax, the money was paid by him, but he had one condition.
"What conditions?" Jiang Qing didn't think that Ji Chen would spend this money in vain.
Ji Chen looked at Jiang Qing with burning eyes, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "My request is very simple, after the incident, you have to accompany me to Miaojiang." ”
"Miao Jiang?" Jiang Qing frowned, she had never heard of such a place.
Jiang Qing thought hard to no avail, so she simply didn't want to, but she said in front of her: "I can go with you, if you want me to make a move, the tourmaline stone is your own." ”
"Okay!" Ji Chen clapped, unexpectedly crisp.
The two hit it off, Jiang Qing didn't notice that the corners of Ji Chen's mouth were slightly raised, how to look at it, how to look ill.
Jiang Qing drove her own car and shuttled quickly through the streets. Ji Chen saw Jiang Qing driving so violently, facing the crowded traffic, he still rushed in, and his palms were slightly sweaty.
"The performance of this car is good!" Jiang Qing praised sincerely.
Ji Chen secretly wiped the sweat of his hands, suddenly thought of a very important thing, and asked, "By the way, have you taken the test?"
"I haven't finished the exam yet. Jiang Qing looked at Ji Chen with a harmless face, "Last time you asked me to pick up your parents, I wanted to tell you about this, but now I think about it." ”
Ji Chen: "......"
Two minutes later, the BMW was back on the road, but this time the driver was Ji Chen.
Ji Chen didn't dare to risk his life, God knows if Jiang Qing would use the accelerator as a brake, he didn't dare to put his life in the hands of a witch who didn't even have a driver's license.
Jiang Qing expressed dissatisfaction: "It's not that you haven't seen my technology, why, can't you trust me?"
"It's not unbelief. Ji Chen said duplicitously, "Later, you still have to deal with Hong Xuansu, driving a brain, let me help you carry it, you will be more in a state to deal with it in a while, isn't it?"
It seemed that what Ji Chen said made a little sense, Jiang Qing nodded, she should indeed focus on the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone.
Ji Chen skillfully put the car on the parking space, which is charged by the hour, and can be paid by card when it will drive away.
Jiang Qing didn't understand this, anyway, with Ji Chen here, it wasn't her turn to worry about this kind of thing.
Hong Xuansu is inconvenient to come to greet because of her special status. But she valued Jiang Qing very much, and personally sent her assistant Jennifer over.
Jennifer's blonde hair is very conspicuous, with deep facial features, a typical exotic beauty. Speaking fluent Mandarin, she led Jiang Qing and Ji Chen to the auction house.
Jiang Qing didn't pay much attention to what the auction house was about to auction, and Ji Chen told her: "Anyway, it's not in a hurry, it's better to take a look, there may be unexpected gains." ”
Jiang Qing nodded slightly, Ji Chen's words were not unreasonable. Since she is ready to infiltrate the auction house, she still has to find out some of the rules and layouts in it.
Jennifer began to introduce Jiang Qing to a few more novel things that would appear at today's auction, and Jiang Qing's attention quickly locked on a diamond-shaped crystal.
This diamond-shaped crystal was only the size of a fingernail, but the first moment she saw it, Jiang Qing's whole body trembled with excitement.
Philosopher's Stone!
This small piece of diamond-shaped crystal is the magic stone she has been looking for!
Jiang Qing's heart undoubtedly stirred up turbulent waves, and she finally found what she wanted. But then, her brows furrowed deeply, because this small piece of magic stone was incomplete.
In other words, this diamond-shaped crystal is only a part of the Philosopher's Stone.
What's going on?
Ji Chen saw Jiang Qing stop in front of a diamond-shaped crystal for a long time, and was suspicious in his heart, taking advantage of Jennifer's lack of attention to them, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, there is something wrong with this crystal?"
Jiang Qing didn't have time to explain, so she simply explained: "Ji Chen, no matter how much it costs, help me buy it!"
It was rare for Ji Chen to see Jiang Qing so solemn, with his understanding of Jiang Qing, he didn't say a word, saying that he would do what Jiang Qing wanted.
Jennifer led the two to Box 9, where the auction was about to begin. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window inside the box, and the buyer sits in it and can clearly see the scene outside, but the people outside can't see the situation inside the box clearly.
Directly above the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a signal light, which is on, which means that the people in the box are participating in the auction.
There were a total of ten such boxes, and Jiang Qing didn't know who was sitting in the other boxes. Ji Chen told her that the higher the number, the greater the origin of the owner of the box, and the people who can be in the No. 1 box are usually worth hundreds of millions.
Jiang Qing was silent for a moment and asked, "If these people make a bid to participate in the auction, how sure are you that diamond-shaped crystal that you can take?"
Hearing this, Ji Chen smiled bitterly and stretched out a finger: "Less than one percent sure." ”
Jiang Qing was slightly dissatisfied with this data, "Your worth is so low?"
"It's not that I'm worth less, it's that I'm worth a little bit, and I'm not even a fart in front of the real big guys. Ji Chen added with great emotion, "The water in Beihai City is much deeper than we imagined. ”
Jiang Qing gritted her teeth, she and Ji Chen were grasshoppers on a rope, and the two of them were both prosperous and damaged. Don't look at Ji Chengui as a big boss of Chinese film and television, the surface is infinite, but now it seems that it is far from enough for Ji Chen to help her.
It seems that she still has to discuss with Ji Chen what to do to make him climb higher.
At the beginning of the auction, the host was Jennifer, it seems that the owner of this auction house, even if it is not Hong Xuansu, is inextricably linked to Hong Xuansu.
Jiang Qing didn't look at the few treasures on display at the beginning of the auction, such as porcelain and silk. She deliberately observed several other boxes, and the owners of these boxes did not make a move.
Halfway through the auction, the auction became intense. Finally, it was the turn of the diamond-shaped crystal to come on the field, but its bidding reserve price was ridiculously high.
One hundred million!
Hearing this price, Ji Chen's whole face immediately froze.
Jiang Qing's hands were clenched tightly, the price of 100 million was almost the sum of the previous auction items, did the earthlings already know what this small piece of crystal was?
Her mood sank to the bottom, she glanced at Ji Chen with her afterglow, and seeing Ji Chen's weakness, Jiang Qing didn't say anything.
Since you can't take a picture, grab it!
As soon as the sky-high reserve price of this crystal came out, everyone in the audience looked at each other, almost thinking that the people in the auction house were crazy.
But then the scene that made their eyes fall out appeared, and there were several boxes where there was no sound before, and the sounds of asking for prices came and went one after another.
These big people are not fools, and everyone suppressed their fluctuating emotions and re-examined the diamond-shaped crystal.
I didn't expect such a small thing to make everyone look away!
This diamond-shaped crystal was finally auctioned by the owner of Box No. 1 for 190 million, and when he heard this price, Ji Chen suddenly felt that the fake alexandrite he bought for more than two million yuan didn't seem to be very wronged......
Jiang Qing didn't say a word, got up and left. Ji Chen understood what she meant and followed closely.
The two walked into the toilet back and forth, and when they came out again, they were no longer the same as they were.
Ji Chen was dressed as an adapter, with a black bow tie, a white shirt and a pair of suspenders, and a handsome face that became ordinary because of the magic potion, the kind of person who would forget it when he saw it.
Jiang Qing has become Jennifer's appearance, because of acting, her imitation ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and she is eight or nine points similar to Jennifer in her gestures.
Ji Chen saw Jiang Qing go to Jennifer's office, stood in place and thought for a few seconds, and then he made a phone call.
"Now come to the inner market, be fast. Ji Chen hung up the phone and sent the location to the other party.
After doing all this, he let out a long breath and secretly squeezed his palm, hoping that this operation would be completed smoothly.
He is a person who is not willing to be lonely, in fact, the 190 million, Ji Chen came out, but he can't pay this money, so naturally he has a reason not to pay.
He will help Jiang Qing capture this diamond-shaped crystal, but in the same way, his goal must be achieved!
Jiang Qing waited for her to come back in Jennifer's room early, and as soon as Jennifer entered the door and saw Jiang Qing, she was knocked unconscious by Jiang Qing with a palm knife before she realized what was happening.
"Get a good night's sleep, you won't remember what happened. Jiang Qing muttered in a low voice, putting Jennifer on the sofa.
Everything was ready, and then it was time for her to snatch the Philosopher's Stone shards.
This move, Jiang Qing is determined to win!
