Chapter 37: It's All About to Begin

"Haha, this is something your dad often says. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Mizhen finally stopped laughing, "I can't say anything cool. ”

After stopping Mi Zhen's words, I finally knew where the weird feeling just now came from, and sure enough, those big truths just now didn't seem like what Mi Zhen could say: "No wonder I felt weird just now." My dad has always been very cool, but I haven't heard him say that to me. ”

"Hey." Mi Zhen glanced at me, "What kind of expression do you have?" He doesn't tell you because he believes that you can go to spring without mentioning it. ”

My eyes were red, but I shot back, "But you're really self-aware, and you don't know how smart you are." ”

Mi Zhen made a gesture to hit me, after the two of them quarreled for a while, the prompt sound of the daily news came from my mobile phone, I noticed that it was almost time for dinner, Mi Zhen wanted me to stay and have dinner together After I refused, Mi Zhen took out a few documents from the bedroom, put them in a brown paper bag, and asked me to put them away: "These are the information of your partner." Go back and take a good look, and don't forget what I said to you. ”

I nodded, still a little uneasy and reminded, "You have to pay attention to safety yourself." If Su Baichang really pays attention to me now, as you said, it won't be long before he knows that there is a connection between me and you, and he will find you. I don't know what he's going to do, so you have to be careful. It's really not good, you still listen to your boyfriend, Qu Mu Zixuan hides there. ”

"Got it." Mi Zhen's tone was mixed with impatience, but she still nodded at me obediently, "I'll take care of my own safety." It doesn't matter if the two of us have something to do with each other, let Su Baichang know about it, according to what I said, finally take a picture of the feng shui ornaments that attract wealth and treasure and mail them to my friends arranged in advance, so that Su Baichang misunderstood that the two of us were both entrusted by others, even if the two of us were found to be in contact, Su Baichang would only feel that the two of us were instructed by others, and would never guess that it was the common attention of the two of us. I've got the backstabber, you just need to be brave. Mizhen patted me on the shoulder, as if to give me courage.

"On Friday, whether it goes well or not, your little partner will take you to the agreed place between the two of us on the weekend to meet me. When the time comes, I hope that both you and I can bring good news to each other. ”

I hugged Mizhen before leaving her apartment. When I got downstairs, I didn't know if she was standing in front of the window watching me leave, but I waved my hand in the direction of the window of Mizhen's house.

"That's polite." Ten minutes later, an unfamiliar number called me this message. I don't know if it's Mizhen's new number, so I decided not to make any reply without being sure of the identity of the sender.

I hurried home, and when I got home, my mother was just finishing dinner and was washing the dishes in the kitchen.

"Dinner?" When she saw me walk in, my mother turned her head and asked me.

"I ate too much at noon." Thinking back to the fact that the two of them ate nearly half a catty of noodles at noon, I feel like my stomach is supporting now.

My mother saw me carrying a bag of things in my hand and looked inquiringly, "Bought something?" ”

"It's not." I put the shopping bag on the counter, "I originally discussed with my friends to make herbal tea to drink, but my craftsmanship is so poor that it makes people suffer." ”

"Have you been with this friend for the past two days?" My mother and I took out the medicinal herbs from the shopping bag together, and when I smelled the smell of Chinese medicine, my mother also frowned, "It doesn't smell good, otherwise you can take it to the unit and pour it out, I can't get used to it." ”

"It is estimated that the office is full of the smell of Chinese medicine, and it will be scolded by the leader." I also had a headache when I looked at the herbal tea ingredients that covered the entire cooking table, "Otherwise, I'll boil it all tonight." Wait for it to cool and then put it in the refrigerator to chill. I'm going to drink it all next week. I gritted my teeth and said, suddenly remembering the question my mother asked at the beginning, I couldn't help but feel cold, I wanted to stagger this question, but I was afraid that my mother would be more embarrassed when she remembered to ask again, so I simply stubbornly perfunctory: "I have indeed been going to see this old friend these days, she has only recently returned to China, and after knowing what happened to me with her prosperity, she wants to accompany me." That's right. I decided to just talk about everything today, "I might have to go out next Friday to do something." You know, I've taken so many days off work before, and a lot of work has been put on hold. Now when I come back to work, I always have to deal with it. ”

"Don't get too tired." Mom glanced at the herbs on the cooking table again, "Also, I wish you a good drink." There is also this herbal tea that has to be boiled for a long time, and when it cools, it is estimated that it will be in the middle of the night. However, the kitchen may be a little cooler at night. But you'll still be sweating profusely. Mom smiled narrowly, teased me and walked out of the kitchen, leaving me alone in the kitchen to worry about the Chinese herbs on the counter.

While boiling herbal tea, I swept the information that Mi Zhen handed me before going out. I'm partnered with a man in his 30s, but the photos do look very well maintained, and he looks a little younger than he really is. According to the documents prepared by Mizhen, the man has been working in the auction house for 15 years. Since he was in college, he has participated in auctions of all sizes, and has gone through 10 years from being a lot manager and presenter to finally becoming an auctioneer. Later, after discovering the auction field that he was good at, he became famous at a Song Dynasty porcelain auction and became an auction expert in antique porcelain.

I looked through the auctioneer's background and found that the main reason why he is good at identifying and conducting antique porcelain auctions is because of the environment in which he grew up. He was born in the eastern United States, a third-generation immigrant, and the elders of his family were officials in the Hanlin Academy in the late Qing Dynasty. And his grandfather is one of the first batch of students to study in the United States. When he was in the United States, his grandfather became obsessed with the subject of archaeology, and secretly changed his major, following the professors in the school and the private archaeological team to various ruins in South America to explore the secrets left by the ancients. The auctioneer's father was his grandfather's youngest child, an old man who was well pampered at home. When I was a child, I was exposed to a lot of knowledge about antiques, and slowly passed on this knowledge to my children. Included in the information given to me was a letter from the auctioneer's father to the auctioneer's father, in which the auctioneer's father wrote that my partner had shown an amazing talent for antiques as a teenager. The idea that he would work in an auction house during his college years was also to exercise his eyesight, enrich his knowledge, and increase his experience. Fortunately, he got a good training in the auction house, and slowly summed up the hosting method that suits him.

After reading the information, I also have some confidence in my heart, and I am secretly glad that I will have such a great god to help me who knows nothing about the auction that day. On the other hand, after waking up on Sunday and Thursday, I spent all my free time catching up on some knowledge about auctions, including some antique fur knowledge.

But no one contacted me until Wednesday when I got off work on the bus and received a call from an unfamiliar number: "Hello, I am Li Zhilin, the auctioneer introduced by Mr. Lin. Are you Mo Zhi, Ms. Mo? ”

When I heard the name, I immediately realized that she was the partner of the auction, and the moment the door opened, I jumped out of the car and immediately said, "Hello, I am Mozhi." You can call me Xiao Mo or Zhizhi. ”

"I'm sorry to contact you so late. I was delayed in communicating with you by a temporary increase in the schedule of the French pottery auction, which is indeed my fault, and I hope to get your understanding. ”

I willingly continued: "I've heard about it, and it's okay. By the way, what about the auctions in France? ”

"It went well. I am better at Qing Dynasty pottery auctions. The lotus pattern plate handed over to me by the client in the Daoguang period also sold at a relatively ideal price. Saying this means that for now, Friday's plan will be implemented as usual.

I let go and said a few words of compliment, waiting for the other party's arrangement for Friday.

"Thank you Xiao Mo for your compliment, and I hope we can work together happily the day after tomorrow. I'll send you a copy of Friday's auction schedule in a moment. Previously, Mr. Lin explained that it was the first time for Miss Su to participate in such an auction, so she may not have much experience. ”

"Well, I hope I don't give you too much trouble on Friday." I politely agreed.

The other party seemed to be afraid that I would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "This is naturally not, in fact, Mr. Lin asked me to assist Xiao Mo to take pictures of the treasure he has been fancy for a long time, so I will fully cooperate with Xiao Mo to help Mr. Lin achieve his wish." Miss Mo, please rest assured at this point, I will teach you to hold up the sign on the spot. Also, I have made a special note on the precautions that I can think of in the information I will send you later. On the day of the auction, I'll help you with everything, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"That's fine, I was still worried about whether I could handle this incident, but I'm relieved to hear you say that." I remembered Mi Zhen's words and said nothing about anything other than the auction, even though I wanted to know if this Mr. Lin was the antique dealer friend that Mi Zhen had said.

After a few more pleasantries, the other party added that he would contact me at noon on Friday before hanging up the phone.

"Is there a requirement for what I wore that day?" I asked in a hurry before he hung up, I remember that in the movie, you were required to wear a dress to the auction.

"You don't have to dress up, but you need to be formal. If Xiao Mo can make up himself, just put on light makeup; If you find it troublesome, we can go to your or my more familiar hair salon to put on makeup and fix your hair. You see which one you prefer, I'll arrange the time. ”

"Let's go to the store. I have a crippled hand. I smiled, but I started to get a little nervous.

The other party answered, said goodnight and hung up the phone.

It's really about to begin.
