Chapter 155: A Beautiful Night
Fortunately, Liu Wenqing's drinking amount is still very much like what she said, just a little bit, and drinking beer on this cold day is really a test for girls. After Liu Wenqing drank two small cups www.biquge.info she never drank again.
When checking out, Liu Wenqing rushed to pay. Xie Bin didn't insist, this meal is estimated to be only a few dozen yuan, so it's good to make this little girl proud. Coming out of the hotel, the cold wind was blowing on her face, Liu Wenqing hugged Xie Bin's arm hard, and couldn't help but shiver, "It's so cold!" It's still an island city, and it's not too cold in winter. โ
Xie Bin laughed, "Under normal circumstances, it's not cold, but sometimes it can freeze to death, have you forgotten the winter of two years ago?" Many families froze their faucets to death overnight. "It was really cold enough at the time, and coupled with the rumors of the end of the world, it also made some people panic.
At that time, Liu Wenqing's family's faucet was also frozen to death, Xie Bin and Liu Wenqing's father took an iron pickaxe and hoe overnight to dig up the permafrost-covered water pipe, and then poured boiling water and wrapped cotton pads, tossing for two or three days before returning to normal.
Liu Wenqing thought of the scene at that time, and also giggled, "It's not as cold as the capital, and I haven't been able to get used to it for more than a year." โ
Xie Bin couldn't help but wrap Liu Wenqing in a scarf, "Okay, wear more yourself, don't patronize and look good, do you seduce juniors?" โ
Liu Wenqing snorted disdainfully, "Senior brother is boring, either a nerd or a little bastard, you want to seduce and seduce a mature man like Brother Xie, just like the one in the snail house." โ
Xie Bin couldn't help but laugh when he heard Liu Wenqing's somewhat rebellious words, the attitude of girls to life is really different from before. Not to mention a few decades ago, even when Xie Bin was in high school, no girl dared to say such a thing, but now, this is really nothing. I don't know if this is social progress or regression, or is it an inevitable trend of development?
Of course, Xie Bin will not be a defender, he himself is now about to become the target of the defender's crusade, where can he manage others, he is very satisfied with his comfortable life, and Liu Wenqing just said that, it is not worthy of criticism on the platform, right?
Liu Wenqing and her two roommates rented a dormitory in a community not far from the school, Xie Bin sent her into the community, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go up by yourself, I'm going back, see you tomorrow." โ
Liu Wenqing tugged at Xie Bin's sleeve, "Come up and sit for a while, they all want to see you." "These are Liu Wenqing's two classmates, Xie Bin took them to Badaling to play when school first started, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.
But it's more than nine o'clock, and their dormitory is not big, so it is not very convenient for Xie Bin to go in as a big man, so he smiled and said: "Don't go up, your sister Jingjing is probably waiting for me, bye-bye, rest early, remember to find me tomorrow." โ
"Oh", Liu Wenqing waved her hand in disappointment and ran back. Xie Bin watched her enter the elevator before turning to leave.
When he returned to the Li family's villa, Xie Bin unexpectedly saw that Li Jingjing was already sitting in the bedroom, holding her mobile phone with a hesitant look. After seeing Xie Bin, Li Jingjing pounced in surprise and joy, and hugged Xie Bin, "I'm sorry!" โ
Xie Bin was stunned, "What's the matter, who bullied you?" โ
Li Jingjing said with a hint of grievance: "I thought you were angry and didn't plan to come back." โ
Xie Bin was secretly a little ashamed in his heart, Li Jingjing's feelings for him were undoubted, but he was angry for no reason, which was indeed a little undeserved. Besides, Li Guohui has already asked Xie Bin and Li Jingjing to stand at the door to welcome guests, this intention is also obvious, and he doesn't need to think about it at all. There should indeed be a special circumstance tonight, and it is inconvenient for him to go along.
Thinking of this, Xie Bin hugged Li Jingjing horizontally, "Okay, I'm not angry, besides, how could I be willing to leave you?" Not to mention that he Xie Bin was reluctant to leave Li Jingjing, just Li Jingjing could have such an eager reaction, which made Xie Bin very moved. You must know that Li Jingjing's xingzi is very light, but now he is making such a childlike demeanor because he is worried about him, which is enough to show his Xie Bin's position in Li Jingjing's mind.
Li Jingjing sat on the bed with her arms around Xie Bin's neck, and suddenly twitched her nose, "Brother Bin, are you drinking?" โ
Xie Bin nodded, "Drank a little beer." โ
Li Jingjing almost cried again, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bin, I'm sorry, it won't be like this in the future." โ
Xie Bin was stunned, and then he reacted, Li Jingjing thought that he went out to drink to kill his sorrows. To be honest, Xie Bin just watched Li Jingjing's family leave alone, and he was indeed a little uncomfortable, but he soon disappeared without a trace. And after meeting Liu Wenqing, my heart was more relaxed, and I no longer bothered about this little thing. Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by Li Jingjing.
However, Xie Bin didn't deliberately correct it, hugged Li Jingjing and whispered: "Wife, go to bed." โ
Li Jingjing slapped Xie Bin's chest with a blushing face, "I hate it, take a shower first, it stinks to death." โ
Needless to say, Xie Bin and Li Jingjing didn't even know when Li Guohui and his wife came back. However, Li Guohui and his wife must have known that Xie Bin and Li Jingjing slept in the same room, but they didn't say much. In this respect, Li Guohui and his wife are indeed relatively enlightened.
If he is replaced by another tycoon and recruits a weak son-in-law like Xie Bin, although he may not be treated as a cow or a horse, he will definitely not let Xie Bin pass the test so smoothly, let alone let Xie Bin sleep with his daughter this morning, at least some prison sฤo and gossip are inevitable.
Early the next morning, Xie Bin and Li Jingjing got up early, packed up and went straight to the auction house after breakfast. The auction was held at the Capital Hotel, with a total of three days, from the 20th to the 22nd of the lunar month, that is, from February 8th to February 10th.
For these three days, the people of the entire Bomei Auction House have been planning for a whole year, and since the end of the last Chun Festival auction, they have been preparing for this Chun Festival auction. Of course, the quarterly auction is also important, but the hottest occasion is the Chun Festival auction, which is also a special feature of Bomei Auction House, such as Sotheby's and other international auction houses, do not set such a session.
After all, Bomei Auction House is its own company in the mainland, and it still has a very big advantage in the mainland, with as many as five large-scale auctions every year, and there are countless other special auctions or small ones. Of course, this is also in the mainland, Bomei can still press Sotheby's Christie's, if it goes internationally, Bomei still lacks some heritage.
Sotheby's was founded in 1744, and until now, the auction of books and other collectibles alone has reached 100 billion pounds a year. And it also has its own literary research institute, with special researchers, who specialize in this kind of research, which is not comparable to the new auction house like Hiromei.
Of course, Bomei itself also has an advantage, that is, those antique shops in the major cultural relics trading places on the mainland, that is the best occasion to collect cultural relics, Li Guohui is willing to give money, and the number of antiques collected is not much worse than the collection in the hands of those foreigners, and the quality is not nothing. Moreover, Li Guohui's own connections should not be underestimated, and most of the Jing items were collected from personal relationships.
Capital Hotel is known as the "Second State Guesthouse", this grade will not be bad, a small conference room without pillars that can accommodate 800 people for a meeting has long been arranged, and there are professional service staff in the hotel to help you serve, such as pouring water to guide the way or something, anyway, as long as you spend money, you can get it all for you.
It is not the first time that Li Guohui has cooperated with the Capital Hotel, and they wish that Bomei Auction House would hold such auctions every day. Not to mention the fees paid by Li Guohui, the traffic brought by the three-day auction alone is a very large number. This kind of auction attracts customers who are all rich owners, and the local ones are fine, but most of the people from other places live here.
Anyway, in the past three days, the rooms of the Capital Hotel are almost full, except for some special rooms, such as those reserved for some important people and those used for emergencies.
The conference hall has long been arranged, the waiters are also in place, various facilities such as large plasma screens, LCD projectors and some communication equipment have been debugged, and the tea, wine, fruit and snacks in the box have also been put in. As for this morning's auction items, they have also arrived at the scene, and there are guards guarding them with loaded guns.
Of course, these things have been arranged by the staff of Bomei Group a long time ago, Li Guohui and his wife, Xie Bin and Li Jingjing are here to welcome guests, and they don't need to do any substantive work. To put it bluntly, if this kind of work also requires Li Guohui and them to do it themselves, then the group has no future for development.
Li Guohui was wearing a long-sleeved cardigan jacket in crimson sรจ, which looked indeed very elegant, and suddenly he looked like a well-educated person, without a bit of businessman's tackiness. In fact, with Li Guohui's understanding of antique knowledge, he can really be called a well-educated person, even no worse than some professionals.
And Peng Yurou was wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, carrying Li Guohui's arm, standing at the door of the hotel half a step behind. This auction is not as simple as a guest coming, sitting down and starting directly. The identities of these guests are extraordinary, and no matter which one they are, the minimum etiquette must always be in place.
Of course, the advertising component is also inevitable, and at this time, there are already many reporters in front of the hotel, waiting for the performance of the show, which is a bit of a red carpet taste.
Not to mention, Li Guohui and Peng Yurou's style is really calm, especially Peng Yurou, don't look at her in her forties, but her figure is very well maintained, otherwise she wouldn't dare to wear a cheongsam, right? What's more important is Peng Yurou's mature and gentle, confident and humble temperament, which is really amazing with such a cheongsam. Coupled with the jingzhi bun and the jade hairpin inserted on it, it brings some extraordinary temperament to the whole person.
