Li Rui was very happy in his heart, and said seriously: "Okay, forget it if you don't go, then I'll talk to Yao Xuefei." ”

After hanging up the phone, his mood instantly became excited, and he couldn't wait to immediately put on his wings and rush to the auction venue, but he also understood that it was still early, the auction had not started yet, and he couldn't see anything when he went, and he secretly laughed at himself in his heart.

He calmed down, called Yao Xuefei, and said after connecting: "My wife has something to do temporarily and won't go to the auction, so you don't have to wait for her to call, but I plan to go to your husband." Yao Xuefei said: "It's no problem for you to come, I'll give you an admission ticket, where are you?" Li Rui said: "Jingnan, what about you?" Yao Xuefei said in surprise: "Oh, when did you come over, why did you come so fast, I just arrived." But I have to tell you first, even if you come tonight, I won't have time to greet you, I'm going to be very busy tonight. Li Rui said: "It's okay, you're busy with you, don't worry about me......"

The two chatted a few more words, Li Rui learned the details of the auction from Yao Xuefei's mouth: the auction will be held at 7:18 tonight in the multi-functional hall on the third floor of the Sheraton Jingnan Hotel, the start time is to please be optimistic about the master, very auspicious, a total of more than 20 lots will be auctioned at the meeting, mainly antique artworks, the expected end time is 11 o'clock at night, and it will be appropriately extended if it is overtime; the auction will be presided over by Yao Xuefei, but a licensed auctioneer was also invited, because in theory, Yao Xuefei is not qualified to host the auction, and her host identity is more similar to the master of ceremonies。

If Li Rui wants to enter as a bidder, he needs to rush over in advance, register with the organizer, pay the deposit, and get the number plate;

In addition, the organizer booked the appearance time of Tang Su, a special celebrity guest, to be any time period from 8 pm to 9 pm, depending on her convenience. The reason why she chose this time period, rather than letting her appear before the opening or ending, naturally wanted to use her star status to control the atmosphere and rhythm of the auction scene, and always hang the hearts of bidders, so as not to make them feel bored and boring.

If Li Rui wants to meet Tang Su in private, he can choose either before eight o'clock in the evening or after nine o'clock in the evening. Of course, if Tang Su is willing to stay with him, then it is no problem for the two of them to be tired of being together for these two time periods. However, both of them are people with high personalities, and the probability of this kind of thing happening is not too high.

Li Rui's initial plan was to wait for Tang Su to fly to Jingnan, first invite her to Baihua Palace for dinner, accompany her to the auction site after eating, and then say goodbye to her when she is done, and then find a place to sleep. Before he went out in the morning, he secretly brought the key to the house in Jingnan that Gao Zixuan gave him, so he didn't have to worry about having no place to live at night.

At 4:05, Tang Su called him and told him that he had landed and was about to go to the city, and asked him where to meet. Li Rui didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Baihua Palace!" Tang Su obviously knew about Baihua Palace, and shouted: "Yo, you are really interesting, invite me to a banquet in the best hotel in your provincial capital." Li Rui smiled: "You are also very interesting, come all the way to help me with this." Tang Su said: "I don't want to eat in a big restaurant, can you find some of your special snacks here for me to try?"

Li Rui was speechless immediately, he was kind enough to ask someone for a relationship before he booked a seat in the Baihua Palace, and wanted to treat her well, but the eldest sister didn't buy it, and said that she wanted to eat any special snacks, by the way, I didn't eat in the highest-grade restaurant in the provincial capital, and ran to eat those snacks that couldn't be on the table, you played me, right? But I also understand her thoughts in my heart, she is a big star, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, she has long been tired of eating crooked, but she is more fond of those local snacks with unique tastes, not to mention that girls themselves also love to eat street food, I haven't seen a big beauty like Zixuan will also sit on the side of the road and eat spicy hot? ”

Tang Su was also easy-going, and said: "Okay, then go to the Hundred Flowers Palace, and when you finish the activity, you can take me to eat special snacks, don't change the day......"

The two made an appointment to meet at the gate of the Hundred Flowers Palace, hung up the phone, and rushed over separately.

On the way, Li Rui called Sun Shuqin and asked her which seat she had booked. Sun Shuqin hung up without saying anything after hearing anything.

Now Li Ruike is in a hurry, he told Tang Su that he will have dinner in Baihua Palace, if Sun Shuqin doesn't tell him the seat he booked, he and Tang Suke will have to eat behind closed doors, in front of friends who are not too familiar with each other, not to mention what friends think of themselves, they will hate themselves to death, and they are about to call Sun Shuqin again, begging her not to be angry with herself, at least not to be angry with herself, at least not to give birth now, and tell yourself the seat first, but when she heard the "ding" of the mobile phone, a text message came.

The text message was sent by Sun Shuqin, which read: "Orchid Palace, when you enter the door, you will say that Mr. Li has booked a seat." ”

When Li Rui saw this text message, his heart was overjoyed, and his hanging heart finally let go, but he also wondered, Sun Shuqin didn't say it on the phone just now, why did she have to send a text message to say it? Could it be that it was inconvenient to say it in front of Song Chaoyang? But this question has nothing to do with personal feelings, and she can say it. Oh, by the way, it may be that she is still angry just now, and she doesn't want to talk to herself, so she told herself by text message, thinking that she can be angry with herself, she naturally has her own heart, and she doesn't completely use herself as a tool to retaliate against her boss, and her heart is a little sweet, but anyway, this private relationship must not be kept with her, and it must be broken!

When the car arrived at the gate of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Li Rui paid to get out of the car, looked up, and was immediately shocked by the huge signboard of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Baihua Palace is six floors high, more than a dozen rooms wide, the overall floor on this side of the road, all covered by the gold lacquer relief carvings such as Baihua, dragon and phoenix, auspicious clouds, sea waves, etc., carved three big characters from top to bottom in the middle of the floor: Baihua Palace. The background of the three large characters is a tall and thin red plaque, which is covered with gold around it, giving people a feeling of royal style.

"What a beautiful signboard!"

Li Rui only saw it in amazement, although he had not yet set foot in the interior of the hotel, but only saw this luxurious and atmospheric decoration style, he knew the grade inside.

After waiting for twenty minutes, a black Mercedes-Benz E-series drove up and slowly stopped on the side of the road. Li Rui saw a young woman sitting in the passenger seat, very similar to the female assistant who followed Tang Su when he first saw her, his heart moved, and he guessed that Tang Su might have arrived, so he stepped over to meet her.

Sure enough, after the young woman got out of the car, she opened the back door, and out of it came a slender young woman with fashionable clothes and extraordinary temperament, with shawl hair, sunglasses on her snow-white face, and only showing her spring-like eyebrows and pointed chin, which was Tang Su's standard attire in public. When she saw Li Rui coming, the corners of her red and tender mouth were slightly pursed, revealing a beautiful dimple next to the corner of her mouth.

Li Rui walked up to her and said with a smile: "It's coming pretty fast." Tang Su looked him up and down, frowned, and said, "Don't you think...... Why do you wear this kind of business attire every time? My driver is more stylish than you. Li Rui smiled and said: "I am a civil servant, of course I can only wear official clothes, and I am still working overtime in the morning." Tang Subian flattened his mouth and said, "Go in and talk." After speaking, he went to the door of the Hundred Flowers Palace like a proud white swan.

"Susu ......"

Tang Su didn't take a few steps before she was stopped by her assistant. Tang Su looked back at her and didn't say anything.

The female assistant said, "I'm not hungry yet, and I still have something to buy, so I won't go up with you, and I'll see you when you come out." ”

Tang Su didn't think so, so he agreed and continued to go to the door. Li Rui followed behind her and asked casually: "Why didn't you drive your GMC RV?" Tang Su said: "What about that car in Shanghai, you drove it for me?" Li Rui laughed when he heard it, and asked again: "What about the Mercedes-Benz just now?" Tang Su said: "That's the car from the auction organizer." Li Rui exclaimed: "It's really good to be a star, you can pick up and send you everywhere." Tang Su said: "Aren't you civil servants the same?" Li Rui smiled: "That's the treatment that leaders can enjoy." Tang Su glanced at him and said, "Oh, you're not a leader yet?" Li Rui said: "A small leader, it's still far from a big leader." ”

The two walked into the hotel with a smile, Li Rui and the welcome lady said that after the Orchid Palace, a waitress led the two to the elevator hall, took the elevator to the second floor, and walked a few steps out of the elevator hall to the Orchid Palace.

Li Rui asked Tang Su to sit in the first place, and Tang Su was not polite, and sat down with a butt. At this time, it was not yet five o'clock, and it was still a little early for dinner, so Li Rui only needed a pot of tea and said goodbye to Tang Su first.

After the tea was delivered and the waiter left, Tang Su took off his sunglasses, revealing his bright melon seed face, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Why didn't you bring your girlfriend over?" Li Rui immediately froze and said, "My girlfriend?" Tang Su said: "It's the beautiful woman you brought to buy shoes last time." Only then did Li Rui understand that she was talking about Ding Yijing, and said, "Let's make friends with both of us, what are you bringing her here for?" Tang Su smiled strangely, and picked up the teacup to drink.

Li Rui noticed her strange smile and intuitively felt that she might think like this: she coveted her beauty and star status, and wanted to pursue her, so it was naturally inconvenient to bring her girlfriend over, but he didn't bother to explain anything to her, and asked: "By the way, have you found out about the last swill incident?"
