The early morning of this time of year is always filled with a white fog, and obviously, combined with this special climate, the whole city looks as if it is built on the clouds, and even if you are very close, you may not be able to see people's faces clearly.

And those high-rise buildings in the distance can only show the slightest outline of their magnificent figures, which look like mirages, illusory, and ethereal.

And the early morning of this season is also the coldest time, people have just come out of the bed, and the temperature of the body still needs a certain amount of time to adjust and adapt, and during this time, it will always make people feel biting cold.

But these two people didn't care at all, Yan Qi didn't even wear a hat today, he was still wearing his long dark black trench coat.

Bai Ran's dress is no different from yesterday, but he has changed into a white beanie, which looks very warm, but it looks a little old, and there are some dark traces on the white hat, which is the mark accumulated by the precipitation of the years, which can not be cleaned with water.

"So early, where are you going?" When passing the grocery store downstairs, Grandma Wang, who got up earlier, had already swept the floor at the door of the store, this is her daily workout, the elderly, sleep is always very little, and there are several old men sitting around not far away, as if they are playing chess.

"Auctions. ”

After Bai Ran finished speaking, she nodded to the old lady sideways, it was a hello, she had a good impression of this grandma, not only because this grandma was very friendly to her, but also because there was a TV in her store.

"Auction?" The old lady was a little puzzled, it wasn't that she didn't understand what an auction was, she just felt that these two children couldn't be associated with that kind of occasion.

But when they came to their senses, the two had already walked away.

The two walked out of the alley one after the other, and a dark black stretch car was silently parked there on the side of the road, like a sleeping beast.

Yan Qi took out the phone and looked at the text message, then looked at the license plate of the car, nodded, and beckoned to Bai Ran, so the two walked towards the black car.

The window glass is lowered slowly.

In the co-pilot, a man wearing black sunglasses appeared in the sight of the two.

"Is it Mr. Yan and Miss Bai?"

Yan Qi felt that his head hurt very much, and he didn't know how he got back to his bed last night, and after being woken up by the movement in Bai Ran's room in the middle of the night, he spent the second half of the night groggily.

When I woke up this morning, I only felt the pain of my head exploding.

Looks like I'm really not good at alcohol.

So he didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and the man in sunglasses glanced at the driver next to him, who immediately got out of the car, personally detoured in front of the two, and opened the door for them.

"Please, both. ”

The driver also wears sunglasses, is quite fat, and looks in his thirties, but because he is wearing a very decent suit, he still looks a little handsome.

Bai Ran looked at the two of them with interest and said an extremely inexplicable sentence.

"Are you blind, can blind people drive?"

Forehead...

The man in the co-pilot was stunned, as if he realized something, he opened the car door and walked in front of the two.

Yan Qi knew that Bai Ran said the wrong thing, which must have upset the two of them, and these two people were sent by Xue Hongde to pick him up and take him to the auction house.

Others came to pick you up early in the morning, and you still talk about other people, which is indeed a bit excessive.

He just wanted to apologize, but he couldn't make amends, but he only got a shout.

The tall and thin man in the co-pilot waved his arm violently, and it was actually a slap in the face.

Syllable.

A crisp sound echoed through the streets.

It's just that the person who was beaten, but it was the fat driver, at this time his sunglasses were blown off and fell on the road not far away, it rained last night, there was water on the street, and the sunglasses fell into the water impartially.

And his chubby body also turned around comically for half a circle, and finally lay on the body of the car, ouching.

Then he immediately came back to his senses, readjusted his body, and stood up straight.

"What kind of rude thing have you done without rules, others want to say that you are blind?

He turned around and glanced at Bai Ran, the girl's hands were empty, only a small black bag around her waist.

So he said to the fat driver again, "What did you do to make Miss Bai so unhappy!?"

This tall man actually treated his subordinates like this because of Bai Ran's words, let's just think that they were his subordinates.

And the fat driver's face is red and swollen at the moment, it can be seen that this slap is really not light, at this time he is standing there upright, his hands seem to be a little trembling.

"I'm not unhappy, what are you doing?"

Bai Ran looked at this scene, although he was not frightened, but he felt puzzled.

"Miss Bai, I'm very sorry, he doesn't understand the rules and offended you, please forgive me. ”

After the thin and tall man finished speaking, he glared back at the fat driver, his eyes were full of cold-blooded and cruel, as if there was no Yan Qi and Bai Ran present, he would directly take out his pistol and kill this man.

Bai Ran seemed to want to say something, but Yan Qi's head began to hurt again, so he squeezed into the car first, and then said to a few people.

"Alright, let's get in the car. ”

It didn't seem that he wanted to cause trouble, Bai Ran saw this situation, and had to get into the car in confusion, but before getting in the car, he looked at the fat driver.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you weren't blind. ”

After saying that, he got into the car.

The fat driver was stunned, he didn't figure out what Bai Ran's words meant. It was only a glance that he noticed that the tall and thin man was glaring at him with an extremely fierce gaze.

He hurriedly ran over, picked up the sunglasses in the pond on the ground, wiped them casually, and returned to the driver's seat.

"I'm sorry, both of you. The tall and thin man also returned to the co-pilot. "If there's no problem, let's go to the venue, okay? ”

"Let's go. Yan Qi pressed two fingers to his eyebrows and replied a little absent-mindedly.

Only Bai Ran was still very confused.

And what she wondered was just why these two people were wearing sunglasses on such a foggy day, and human eyes were not very primitive.

But only Yan Qi knew what she was wondering about at this time.

The fat driver was hit by this, obviously not able to stabilize his mind, so with a trace of apprehension and uneasiness, he started the car and drove out into the hazy street.

About half an hour later, the black car arrived at the International Economic and Trade Building in the center of the city, and this year's "Salamandel" Chamber of Commerce, its auction venue, is located on the highest floor, the 80th floor.

It was originally a banquet hall for high-ranking politicians, mostly used for banquets of very famous people in the world, and the construction was also extremely luxurious, maybe you see an ordinary trade building on the 79th floor, and from the 80th floor, you will feel like you have entered another world.

It's not the rustic atmosphere that looks like gold.

It is a very aesthetic design, and it is said that this floor has gathered many of the world's top designers to study and design, and it is more than three floors higher than other buildings.

Whether it is in terms of beauty, luxury or practicality, it has achieved the extreme, of course, ordinary people are estimated to never be able to go up to the 80th floor here in their lifetime.

The building is open to the public with only 79 floors, and the 79th floor and above are the management facilities of the building.

If there is no special person to lead it, or the helicopter descends directly to the roof of the building, and wants to go up to the 80th floor, then you can only climb the window.

The auction of the major family joint chambers of commerce, of course, is also an internal activity, and it is absolutely impossible to participate in such a grand event unless the designated members of the family or the invitees from the outside world are not able to participate, and it is even impossible to know the specific time and place of the auction held every year.

The black car stopped outside the building, and the tall man in the co-pilot was the first to get out of the car and open the door for the two.

When Yan Qi got out of the car, he found that there were a total of seven entrances to the front of the building, and there were three security personnel standing in front of each entrance, and behind them were sophisticated detection instruments.

These personnel were all wearing the security uniforms of the building, and their positions and postures were all meticulous and flawless, such a security organization, Yan Qi was very surprised, but suddenly saw the 9mm pistol on their waists, and seemed to have vaguely guessed something in his heart.

Then he smiled and followed the man in sunglasses into the first floor of the building.

"Please show your ID, no one is allowed to enter or leave the International Trade Building today, please understand. ”

A tall security guard came up to us.

The man in sunglasses took out a certificate, Yan Qi looked at it, it seemed to be printed with the name of a certain company, it seemed to be a foreign company, but he was not familiar with it.

"The two of them are... Attendees. The man in sunglasses pointed to Yan Qi and Bai Ran behind him.

The security officer's eyes swept like swords at the two men, but he seemed to have some questions.

Such a young girl, is she also here to participate in the auction?

His heart was constantly filled with such doubts.

But professionalism made him not ask, just paused for a moment, he returned the document to the man in sunglasses, turned around and made a gesture of please, and ignored the three of them.

The three of them came to the hall, even Yan Qi, knew that the International Trade Building was always full of people, because there were not only floors where all kinds of gourmet restaurants gathered, but also several very important bank offices stationed on the middle floor.

On weekdays, whether it is a visit or an office, there should be an endless stream of people.

Today, however... The spacious, terrifying hall was deadly silent, except for the creaking of the shoes of the three men against the smooth marble floor.

"Alright, I'll send you two here. ”

The man in sunglasses came to the elevator door, and when the elevator opened, he leaned in, and scanned the black screen area of the elevator with the ID just now, and a big "80" button immediately appeared on the screen.

"Why are you so lonely today... Isn't this auction about to start, and what about the others?"

Yan Qi was still a little puzzled, he really didn't believe it, such a big chamber of commerce auction, could it be that other people would be late, and now there were only 10 minutes left before the start time written on the card.

"Hmm... This, Mr. Yan, others, most of them.. They all came by helicopter, and at this moment, they should have arrived at the venue. ”

Yan Qi was a little speechless, he originally wanted to say, then you have such strict security measures downstairs, are they for ghosts, but after a pause, he decided not to say anything more, and walked into the elevator, Bai Ran obediently followed.

"So, have a great time. The man in sunglasses smiled and watched the elevator door slowly close.
