Chapter 42: A Suddenly Gray World
Knowing Li Zhilin's tsundere attributes, I couldn't help but have some small cases, and I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth on my face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info silently lowered his head, clasped his elbows and trembled. When Li Zhilin's afterglow caught a glimpse of me, he suddenly roared like a fried cat: "What are you laughing at?" His tone sounded quite bad, but I still couldn't help but want to laugh, and finally simply laughed out loud, probably infected by the laughter, and finally Li Zhilin couldn't hold back his serious expression and laughed: "Forget it, I don't care about you, but we're almost there." ”
When I heard this, my originally bright mood fell to the bottom again in an instant, but in an instant, my back tightened again, in addition to the feeling of numbness in my hands and feet, my palms were also covered with a layer of cool hairy sweat.
"What's the matter, weren't you so happy just now?" Li Zhilin saw that I was wilting, and immediately turned on the mockery mode, seizing my weakness and laughing at me wantonly.
I listlessly pinched the corners of my handbag: "yes, I'm so nervous right now." But the moment I turned my head to look at him, I shot back with a mocking expression, "But oh, I don't think there's any shame in admitting that I'm timid, unlike some people." It's obviously the same blood, but pretending to be indifferent and ruthless, it's really funnier than me. ”
"What's funny?" Li Zhilin was deflated at my place, but soon he raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a wicked smile, "When you get off the bus, don't be trembling because of the arrangement, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for the first time in the county." ”
Li Zhilin parked the car in front of a building: "Okay, we're here." ”
We were the first to come to this venue, and after registering, we walked into the hall, which is now filled with only staff who are busy setting up the venue. I thought that this kind of underground auction might be held in a more private place, but both the exterior of the building and the white decoration after entering the lobby made everything opulent and had nothing to do with the word 'underground'. Seeing me looking around in confusion, Li Zhilin's hand touched the back of my head: "What's wrong, I'm surprised that everything looks magnificent?" ”
Thinking that Nei was talking about something, I had to nod: "I thought it should be in a very dark place." ”
When Li Zhilin heard me say this, he laughed out loud without giving face at all: "What you said is hell." As I said before, this kind of private auction is on the edge of the law, and since the poster can be put up before, it shows that the organizer is 100% sure that it can confuse right and wrong, even if the East Window incident happens. Nowadays, more people prefer this kind of gray trade for underground transactions that are completely illegal. But," he said in a lower voice, in my ear, "if we stay in the auction long enough and have sharp eyes, you can see why this auction isn't really 'above board.'" ”
I turned my head to look at him, and he curled his eyes and smiled at me. I didn't realize that the action between us just now seemed a little ambiguous, but I still looked at him curiously, Tan Xu, the vague meaning in his words. He didn't answer too much, just dragged me around the venue.
When I came back to my senses, I noticed that some of the staff around me were looking at us with a strange gaze, and some of the ladies were already looking at us with their mouths covered and smiling, and from their hungry eyes, I suddenly noticed that the atmosphere between me and Li Zhilin was so ambiguous. I pulled my wrist out of Li Zhilin's hand in some panic, and when I was about to explain the reason, I turned my head to meet Li Zhilin's eyes, and he looked at me with some grievances, as if complaining about why I made such a ruthless move.
"That." When I met Li Zhilin's eyes, I stuttered a little, and the words that came to my mouth were swallowed alive again. The two of us looked at each other quietly, and when I was about to take his hand again, a greeting helped us relieve this awkward atmosphere: "Mr. Li? Are you here for this auction too? ”
Hearing the prestige, a man with neat oily hair walked over, he walked over to us quickly, and stretched out his hand to Li Zhilin: "Do you remember me?" We met at the auction in Tianjin, and I was the host at the time, Liang Jiaxi. "The man's smiling face was perfect, it just lacked temperature and looked cold.
Li Zhilin shook it back politely and nodded: "Of course I remember you, the atmosphere that day was too warm, and the price has been rising again, if it weren't for Mr. Liang's final word, I think maybe I wouldn't be able to help my client receive the "Sad Autumn Picture of Detention Travel" at such a reasonable price." After all, Mr. Liang's decisive hammer at that time made the hesitant people miss the opportunity. Did Mr. Liang also participate in the auction as a host this time? Li Zhilin replied very politely, but it was different from the conversation with me just now, which made people feel a little distant.
Mr. Liang shook his head and denied Li Zhilin's speculation: "No, this time I am here to participate in the auction on behalf of the customer." Mr. Lee, who is this time? ”
At this time, Li Zhilin suddenly set his eyes on me: "I'm the same as last time, but this time I'm not the protagonist, I'm just here to help." The real agent is this Miss Mo. ”
Different from the politeness he showed when he spoke to Li Zhilin just now, Liang Jiaxi had a sense of arrogance when he greeted me: "In this way, I thought you brought a female assistant just now." However, I think this Miss Mo must be very capable. ”
didn't say hello and choked on the stubble, Liang Jiaxi's attitude made me feel very unhappy, and my first impression of this human-looking man became very bad. But because I didn't think of any suitable words to fight back for a while, I blushed but couldn't say a word to the point. Li Zhilin took over appropriately at this time: "Miss Mo is a distant relative of my client, who recently interned at my client, mainly responsible for this aspect of operation, don't look at her young age, but her business ability is very strong." The customer is very optimistic about him, so he wants me to take the little girl to see the world and expand her business scope in the future. Li Zhilin didn't speak loudly, but his expression was very serious.
Liang Jiaxi, who was on the other side, listened to it, but he still looked invincible, and let out a cold snort from his nose: "Hmph, I've been lucky with shit at a young age." After that, he immediately smiled and turned his head to look at Li Zhilin, "Then I have to bother you to take care of this young man more." I've got something to do, see you at the auction in the evening. After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Zhilin to speak, and walked straight past us.
I had nowhere to vent my anger, so I had to look at his back and curse viciously in a low voice: "Old goblin." ”
As if he had heard it, he stopped where he was, but he didn't look back, just snorted coldly as he had just done before, and walked away again.
"It's rude." Li Zhilin returned to his previous appearance, smiling and plucking my ears.
"I know." I lowered my head and replied in a muffled voice, "Shame, isn't it?" ”
My eyes were a little astringent, and I felt so embarrassed to be ridiculed in front of the public, and I almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. Li Zhilin squatted down at this time: "Wronged? His voice was soft, and his brow furrowed slightly.
The tears that could have been held back fell because of Li Zhilin's words. I thought Li Zhilin would sympathize with me, but he laughed: "It's really embarrassing, obviously sharp teeth, but I don't know what to say at a critical moment." And I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable. After being said twice, I began to shed tears. What a big deal, as far as it's concerned? He ended up laughing so hard that he couldn't stop laughing.
"Shut up." Wiping tears from the back of my hand, I was a little angry.
Li Zhilin stood up and tidied up his clothes: "There is a bathroom behind you, you can go and deal with your embarrassed appearance." By the way, you brought a makeup bag, right? ”
I ignored him, went straight to the bathroom, locked myself in the cubicle, and the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and I was ridiculed by others without sympathy and comfort, and not only that, but I was also ridiculed badly, which was simply unbearable for me. The world is so cruel, when did the world become so cruel? I let the tears run down my face, and in the end there was nothing I could do, I had to wipe away my tears and continue to participate in the auction. And because I was standing in high heels all the time, after I stopped crying, I felt my legs numb and my feet swelled. Limped out of the cubicle, walked to the vanity mirror, looked at the red and swollen eyes, and felt that he couldn't be more embarrassed, knowing that he would not let himself be sad just now.
I moistened my hands with cold water, put ice on my eyes, and when I felt more comfortable for my eyes, I looked in the mirror again, although it looked similar to the previous look, but it looked more refreshed. Adhering to the teachings of my father that I heard from my childhood that I should never let outsiders see jokes, and that I should live a glamorous and glamorous life that others would envy, I quickly took out my makeup bag and began to hide my haggard appearance.
About half an hour later, after almost all my skills were exhausted, and I couldn't see any traces of crying before when I looked in the mirror, I walked to Li Zhilin's side. At this time, he was chatting with the beautiful woman next to him with a smile. I patted him on the shoulder from behind: "It's very popular." ”
Li Zhilin turned his head to see that I had regained my spirits, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, who made me look good." ”
Neither of us mentioned the topic just now, and Li Zhilin introduced me to the beautiful woman he was chatting with: "This is the host of today's auction. ”
The beautiful woman waved her hand at me, and smiled kindly: "You are Zhilin's customer, it's nice to meet you." She held out her hand, and I shook it back in flattery, and the beautiful woman in front of me was much more polite by the man just now.
The beautiful woman exchanged a few more pleasantries with us, and before leaving, she turned back to me and said with a smile, "You have to learn more from Mr. Li, he is an expert in this field." Her smile was sweet and gentle.
"I'll ask for a lot of advice today." I readjusted my mindset and silently encouraged myself in my heart. Since everyone is sure of Li Zhilin's ability, then I have nothing to be nervous or restrained, I must learn to be humble and believe in those experts who will sincerely help you, this is another family motto I have heard since I was a child. I finished silently muttering in my heart, raised my head and smiled at Li Zhilin again.
