With a ding, the elevator reached the twenty-third floor.

As soon as Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao stepped out of the elevator, they were stopped by two security guards wearing suits and headsets.

The two security guards were very burly and strong-looking, but their attitude was quite polite, and they said with a smile: "Good evening, sir, ma'am." If you are coming to an antique auction, please show your invitation. ”

While smiling, the two security guards were also looking Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao up and down with scrutinizing eyes.

This also shows that although their attitude is good, their vigilance is not weak at all.

Lin Yang had no doubt that once the person who walked out of the elevator room had any unusual behavior, the two security personnel would immediately take action and take corresponding measures to subdue him

After receiving the invitations handed by Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao, one of the security guards picked up the scanner that was placed aside and swiped it on the two invitations.

The electronic tone immediately sounded, indicating that the two invitations were valid.

"The cooperation between the two of Xiexie is also wishing you all the best to buy what you like tonight. After putting away the invitation, the two security guards made a green gesture to Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao, allowing them to walk into the red carpet corridor on the twenty-third floor.

"Welcome. ”

On both sides of the red carpet, there were more than 20 girls dressed in ancient court costumes, bowing to Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao at this moment, and the scene was very grand.

In the narrow corridor before entering the venue, Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao underwent another instrument scan to make sure that they were not carrying firearms and controlled knives and other objects, and then they were allowed to move on.

Zuihou, after the security personnel made sure that the two of them did not violate the rules, they finally entered the largest conference hall of the five-star international hotel.

Although I haven't seen the exhibits of today's antique auction yet, judging from the strict security measures along the way, it shouldn't be much worse.

When Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao walked into this conference hall that was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, they found that it had been redecorated again. Directly in front of it, an auction table was erected. Below the auction table, there are hundreds of round tables and chairs.

Handsome and beautiful male and female waiters walked through the period, serving drinks to everyone who came to participate in the auction.

As soon as the two of them walked into this conference hall, they saw Uncle Wang sitting at one of the tables, beckoning to the two of them: "Meng Yao, Lin Xiaoyou, here." After the two approached, Uncle Wang said, "Why did you two come? The auction is about to start, and I'm afraid you two won't be able to catch up." ”

Xi Mengyao said with a nonchalant expression: "What's the hurry? Isn't this just started? We had dinner in the nearby rivers and lakes just now."

Uncle Wang shook his head and smiled: "If you really wait until the auction starts, even if you two have invitations, you two won't be able to enter." ”

As soon as the two of them were seated, a handsome waiter came up to them and asked them what they needed to drink.

Xi Mengyao ordered a glass of orange juice because she was going to drive. Lin Yang, on the other hand, is even simpler, just a glass of mineral water.

Uncle Wang held the wine glass, gently shook the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "Lin Xiaoyou, don't you want some wine? Although there are other things here, the red wine is still quite authentic." ”

Lin Yang shook his head and politely refused: "I don't have any interest in wine, just mineral water." ”

Uncle Wang didn't persuade much, nodded, and said jokingly: "It's okay if you don't drink, but we will rely on you to help us see the palm later." If you drink too much and look away, then we will lose a lot. Tonight, our Baishitang, it's all up to you, Lin Xiaoyou."

Before Lin Yang could answer, he heard someone at the table not far from him, and he laughed.

Uncle Wang frowned, and looked in the direction where the laughter came from.

Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao also turned their heads to look together, but found that the person who was laughing was a young man in his twenties wearing a luxury brand.

Seeing the three of them looking at him, the young man not only stopped laughing, but also said: "Lao Wang, Lao Wang, your Baishitang is really getting more and more confused, and you actually invited a hairy guy who doesn't know what to call to help palm your eyes. Ah, I know, isn't it a little too child's play? Ah, I know, shouldn't there be a problem with your Baishitang capital chain recently, and you don't have enough liquidity to hire a master to help you? ”

In terms of age, this young man is at least twice as young as Uncle Wang. If he really wants to be according to his seniority, he should call Uncle Wang uncle. However, it can be seen from the tone of his voice that he not only has no respect for Uncle Wang, but also looks down on him.

"I thought it was so rude, it turned out to be you Zeng Fan. ”

It can be seen that Uncle Wang also doesn't treat this young man very well.

After snorting coldly, Uncle Wang said-for-tat: "Zeng Fan, I'm sorry to disappoint you." The capital chain of our Baishitang is very healthy, and this Lin Xiaoyou is also an unborn stone expert Wait until the auction starts, if you have any stones that you are not sure about, please come and consult Lin Xiaoyou. Of course, you KitKat have a lot of money, and I believe that you will definitely not pay less for the consulting fee. ”

Although Xi Mengyao also knew this young man, she didn't pay attention to him, but lowered her voice and explained to Lin Yang: "Master, this kid's name is Zeng Fan, and he is the young owner of Kit Kat Fang. Kit Kat Fang, like our Baishitang, is one of the more well-known antique and jade shops in Xishu Province. As the saying goes, peers are enemies. Our Baishitang and their KitKat are direct competitors. So the relationship between each other is not so harmonious. ”

Lin Yang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Although he did not follow his father Lin Wenzhi's arrangement, he went to the United States to study financial management. But growing up in the Lin family, which can be called a financial giant, he knows a lot about things in the mall, and naturally understands what kind of tension will be between the two direct competitors.

After Zeng Fan looked Lin Yang up and down, he smiled even more happily. If it weren't for the large number of people here, he would only be afraid of laughing and leaning back. While laughing, he sneered: "What? You said that this guy who doesn't have any hair is an unborn stone expert? haha, this joke is really funny, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, you shouldn't be old and dizzy, right? He looks like a stone expert? Are you really an expert, the word is worthless or what?"

Obviously, he didn't believe in Lin Yang's ability to identify stones at all.

This is also normal, and the appreciation of stones requires not only superb vision and profound knowledge, but also rich experience. And the latter is also the most critical and important Therefore, in the line of Jianshi, those who can mix up fame and achievements are often elderly people like Xi Mengyao...... Of course, people like Lin Yang are purely accidents and cannot be taken as common sense

Ordinary people, who can see ghosts, and who can ask ghosts to help them get into the stone to see what makes up the structure?

"Come, Lao Wang, let me solemnly introduce you to a true stone expert. ”

After laughing at Uncle Wang and Lin Yang, Zeng Fan clapped his hands and introduced the white-haired old man who was sitting at the same table with him.

"This is Mr. Guo Quanguo, who has the nickname 'King of Stones'. I believe that you should have heard of Mr. Guo's prestige, right? Only people like Mr. Guo can be worthy of being 'experts.' The little guy you invited should be cool somewhere. ”

Shiwang Guo Quan's reputation, Uncle Wang and Xi Mengyao have heard of it.

This old gentleman can be said to be a well-known figure in Jianshi's party. Although it is a cut worse than Xi Mengyao's father, it can indeed be an expert, title. Unexpectedly, Zeng Fan actually invited him to help with the palm. It seems that this time, KitKat has really spent a lot of money.

Originally, Xi Mengyao didn't want to deal with Zeng Fan, but when she heard him speak, she was targeting Lin Yang everywhere, and she immediately became angry, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Zeng Xiaoliu, how did you talk?

Unexpectedly, Xi Mengyao, who was very well-behaved in front of Lin Yang, actually had such a strong side. is really worthy of being a person with the blood of female paper flowing in his bones

Seeing that Xi Mengyao was about to go crazy, Lin Yang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her: "Okay, Mengyao, don't pay attention to this person." ”

"But Master, he's scolding you. When Xi Mengyao said this, she didn't forget to stare at Zeng Fan with raised eyebrows.

Lin Yang smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "We didn't come here to quarrel with people. He likes to say what he wants, and he says it. ”

Since stepping into the state of mind, his state of mind has also changed.

Become indifferent, become indisputable.

Indisputable, it's not that there is no strength. It's because of many things in the world, he can't look down on them.

Therefore, even if Zeng Fan was mocking him at the moment, he didn't care too much.

The dog barked at the person a few times, and the person couldn't just bite it back, right?

Compared with his indifference, Zeng Fan's various performances seem a little clumsy and vulgar.

Seeing that Uncle Wang and Xi Mengyao really listened to Lin Yang's words and no longer cared about themselves, Zeng Fan also felt a little bored. After glaring at Lin Yang, he snorted, "Pretending guy." Later, I'm going to see what kind of you'll buy. ”

The crowd didn't wait long.

Ten minutes later, amid the melodious sound of the guqin, a man in a Mao suit and full of energy walked onto the auction table.

The man picked up the auction hammer on the table, smiled and said, "Welcome to all distinguished guests to participate in the Shengshi Chinese Antiques Auction, I am Dong Cheng, the auctioneer of this auction." I'm sure you're all a little impatient to wait, right?

As soon as the words fell, the auction hammer in his hand was raised high, and a sound was struck, indicating that this high-standard antique auction had begun
