Chapter Eighty-Four: Nouveau Riche?
Lin Feng walked briskly to a public phone booth outside the store, inserted the magnetic card that the old man gave him, and then quickly pressed eight 8s on the phone.
There was silence on the phone, Lin Feng snorted coldly, turned his head and smiled at the old man:
"Look, nothing happened......"
Before the voice fell, the telephone suddenly deformed amazingly, the shell of the telephone cracked to both sides, and a silver machine slowly pushed out of the telephone case, and at the same time an electronic tone sounded:
"Please enter the invitation code."
"This ...... What is this machine put into the telephone? Looking at the machine that was suddenly slowly pushed out of the cracked telephone, Lin Feng gasped and asked blankly.
"Hmph, boy, there are many things you don't know about in this world. Let me tell you, every public phone booth in the country has a hidden mechanism installed in the telephone, as long as you insert the corresponding magnetic card, you can find anyone you want to find in the first time. Looking at Lin Feng's expression, the old naughty boy was obviously very proud.
"And what's the invitation code?" Lin Feng frowned and asked.
"In order to prevent someone from picking up this magnetic card by mistake, the auction will also ask the cardholder to set up a special invitation code as verification when issuing the invitation letter. My old man doesn't have a good memory, so he simply set the invitation code to a startup code, which is eight 8s." The old urchin laughed.
"Then if I press eight ...... now," Lin Feng was obviously a little eager to try.
"Nothing will happen, it's not trading time. You'll have to enter the invitation code by the night after tomorrow for someone to pick you up. ”
"I see."
Lin Feng nodded, pulled out the magnetic card and walked out of the phone booth.
"Hey, you still have a day and a half, don't you have to prepare the items you will use to exchange?" The old urchin reminded.
"Hmph, no, it's too late to prepare on the spot......" Looking at the old naughty boy with a confused look, Lin Feng smiled indifferently and said.
A day and a half has passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the evening of the auction.
Lin Feng slowly walked out of Sihai Villa, came to a phone booth, inserted the magnetic card according to the steps, and entered the password. Sure enough, there was also a machine slowly pushed out of the telephone, prompting:
"Please enter the invitation code."
Lin Feng quickly pressed the eight eights. The machine flashed twice, and an electronic tone sounded:
"The invitation code has been verified, please wait in place for three minutes."
Lin Feng snorted coldly, stood in front of the telephone with his pockets in his pockets, and whistled carelessly. Obviously, he didn't believe that someone would actually pick him up within three minutes.
Two minutes passed quickly, Lin Feng yawned boredly, and suddenly, a figure was strangely reflected on the glass of the pavilion in front of him......
"Master, danger!" Silver Feather said urgently.
“!”
Lin Feng's heart tightened, and just as he wanted to react, the mysterious person behind him suddenly covered Lin Feng's mouth and nose with a wet towel from behind. Lin Feng struggled twice, and was stunned by the anesthetic soaked in the towel, and then was picked up by two people and threw into a black Buick car outside the phone booth, and then the two also jumped into the Buick and galloped away......
"Whew."
In a trance, Lin Feng didn't know how many bumps he had gone through and how many roads he had walked, and he only vaguely felt that he seemed to have walked through a long corridor and steps with the help of others in a daze, and then came here. Some dazzling lights pierced Lin Feng a little unable to open his eyes, seeing that Lin Feng was still confused, a man in black walked up quickly, sniffed a certain liquid for Lin Feng, Lin Feng's brain suddenly sobered up, looked around, and saw that he was in a gorgeous hall, and there were many people around him with the same blank expressions as themselves, but when they realized that they had finally come to this legendary auction, the expression on their faces suddenly became excited:
"This is the Yanjing Underground Auction?"
"It's really like the legend!"
Seeing that everyone woke up one after another, a man in black bowed slightly and said apologetically:
"Everyone, I was offended just now, and this is also for the sake of secrecy, please forgive me. The auction has not yet started, please go to the trading floor to wait quietly under the guidance of the service staff. ”
Lin Feng and the others, led by several service personnel, walked along a palatial corridor towards the trading hall. Lin Feng looked at the surrounding environment curiously, and was shocked to find that the walls of the corridor were hung with works by famous artists, and even some of them were famous stolen works......
"It can't be true, can it?" Looking at these works, Lin Feng muttered.
"Hey, hillbilly. You don't look at what kind of place this is, there may be fakes. Hey, boy, you don't look calm, you don't look like you're here to change things, is it the first time you've participated in an underground auction? It was the family that spent money to send you to Chang Eye, right? Hmph, you poor people think ridiculously. Hearing Lin Feng's self-talk, and then looking at Lin Feng's unattractive outfit, a fat man who looked like an upstart sneered a few times with disdain and mocked.
"Sort of." Lin Feng didn't want to explain more to this self-righteous annoyant, and continued to look at the works on the wall while casually responding.
"Hmph, I'll know it. I have seen a lot of families like yours who have poor family conditions and insist on sending their children to this kind of occasion to pretend to be more eye-opening. It looks like you're coming empty-handed, and you're pretty self-aware, hmph, you won't have anything to do anyway. That's why I'm here stupidly. It's really sad that people are poor and waste money. ”
Looking at the undeniable Lin Feng, the smug look on the fat man's face became even stronger. Lin Feng sneered in his heart, and he didn't bother to deal with him anymore. Lin Feng knows very well that a nouveau riche like to be rich and arrogant, and he is arrogant and judgmental to others in order to reflect his greatness, in fact, this is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence, and a real rich person doesn't need to be so showy at all......
The crowd walked through the hallway into the trading floor. The trading hall is like an opera house, in the shape of a ring, and above this hall, which does not even have seats, is a row of boxes that look very magnificent from the outside. Seeing Lin Feng curiously looking at these boxes, the "enthusiastic" fat man sneered again and said:
"Don't look at it, these are VIP seats, they are places where really awesome characters stay, poor boys like you, don't be lazy toads and want to eat swan meat, honestly find your own area in the hall to stand......"
As he spoke, the fat man waved at the waiter with a wealthy look:
"Waiter! Let's see, which area should I stand in? ”
A waiter hurriedly walked over, took the white magnetic card in the fat man's hand, and pointed to the area in front of the trading desk:
"Sir, you're Zone A, facing the trading desk."
Seeing that he had grabbed the best area in the hall, the fat man snorted proudly, looked back at Lin Feng, who was still looking around, and said disdainfully:
"You can show this stupid boy too, I guess this poor boy can't afford to buy a good position......"
The waiter walked up to Lin Feng and said:
"Sir, please show me the invitation."
"Oh. Excuse me, find my place, hard work. ”
Lin Feng took out the magnetic card that the old urchin gave him and put it in the waiter's hand. The waiter glanced at the magnetic card, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn:
"Sir, your place is not in the hall, but in the special box upstairs. Please come with me. ”
"What, box?"
"Could this kid be ......?"
The waiter's words stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, and the surrounding businessmen looked at this unattractive boy in amazement, unable to believe that he was the elite of the elite. You must know that they are also relatively wealthy businessmen in Yanjing, but their qualifications are only to stand in the hall crowded, and this kid is actually qualified to sit in the box. And the fat man who had been arrogant was the most shocked, looking at Lin Feng with a complicated expression and following the waiter upstairs, almost stuffing an egg in his stunned mouth. After a while, the fat man came to his senses, and then he felt a little hot on his face......
The people around looked at the fat man pitifully. This fat man dared to talk like this to the person holding the high-level invitation, it seemed that he would be difficult to mix in Yanjing in the future. In order to cover up his gaffe, the fat man wiped the cold sweat off his face with a weak heart, and scolded angrily:
"Damn! Holding a high-level invitation and not saying a word, you want to show off with us? Isn't it great to have a few stinky bucks! Upstart! ”
