Chapter 163: No one is filial piety
"Xin Xin has a point." Li Mingyang said pertinently.
"......" Qiao Yichen fell into contemplation again.
"You can add some monitoring equipment at home, and then let people keep an eye on her, and there will be no problems." I sighed, "Even if you get Xiao Zhou out of the villa, if you are determined to arrange such a person to come in again, it is not without a chance." Everyone has weaknesses, and it's not impossible for the original family to be bought......"
"I'll take care of it, eat." Qiao Yichen looked at me in a daze, and there was no distress or guilt in his eyes.
"Well, you can do it." I really wanted to comfort Qiao Yichen and tell him that it really didn't matter. But Li Mingyang is here, and I don't want to say more.
Li Mingyang poured half a glass of red wine into the cup in front of Qiao Yichen: "The third child has always had a good vision, but he married a daughter-in-law who has become a big thing." β
"Big brother, don't praise me, if I have a choice, I don't want to be a big deal. Things have come to this point, and they can only go on forever. "I really don't want to play with my son's scheming every day, but the reality is like this - play or die.
And I just didn't live long enough......
After eating, we walked out of the hotel together, and the entrance of the hotel had already been cleared out of a passage by Li Mingyang's bodyguards, and Li Mingyang's cool bulletproof car was parked at the door.
"It's not a big problem to send a few more people to keep an eye on, but there are not enough people to tell me, I have idlers here." Li Mingyang gave another instruction before getting into the car.
"Hmm."
"Goodbye, big brother." I politely said goodbye to Li Mingyang.
After Li Mingyang and his party left, Lao Zhao also drove the car up from behind. After getting in the car, Qiao Yichen hooked my waist, buckled me into his arms and said thoughtlessly, "Baby, I'm sorry." β
"I'm sorry I got it, but you didn't do anything wrong." My hand stiffened for a moment, and finally covered Qiao Yichen's cheek: "My dad said, if you like something very much, but it always brings you pain. Well, don't be afraid, it's just a test of how much you like. When it is satisfied, it will be gentle. I think...... Like a person, it can also be like this......"
"Why is Daddy telling you this?" Qiao Yichen lowered his head and kissed my hair.
"When I was very young, I loved to look at antiques with my grandfather. Grandpa also has a heart for cultivation, and always finds a lot of classic materials to show me. The stuff was all in traditional Chinese characters, and there were some messy fragments...... In short, when other people may be watching cartoons, I am watching those boring things. And my grandfather also asked me to write reading notes, and I was going to collapse for a while. It wasn't until I walked through that gray time later that I realized that what my father said was right, and I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment...... "I smiled at Qiao Yichen."
"The next time I go to see my dad, I'm going to say thank you." Qiao Yichen's gaze was less inherently sharp: "Thank you for teaching him a smart and strong girl." β
"There are a few things I have to tell you......" I thought for a moment and said: "That Ruyao Azure amphora is not right, I told Qiao Lao, the auction house should find something with a similar price to replace the amphora as the finale." And also...... Qiao Lao may tell you that he wants to transfer me to the filming line......"
"Think beautifully!" Qiao Yichen snorted, his eyes narrowing a little dangerously, "What do you think?" β
"Me?" I rested my chin on Qiao Yichen's shoulder, "Of course I'm listening to your ......"
"That's so good......" Qiao Yichen touched my cheek, "Didn't you always want to shoot?" Or do I do a favor? β
"It turns out that I used it to give favors, so sad......" I sighed decently.
"Why don't you want to go again?" Qiao Yichen looked at me with some confusion.
"Working under Vice President Qiao of Yingjia Golden Bachelor, I'm afraid someone will be jealous." I'm not sure what Qiao Yi'an wants to do now, or better stay away from him.
"Someone?" Qiao Yichen picked up my chin with his right finger and gnawed my lips with his teeth: "Little girl, who are you talking about, huh?" β
"Who do you say...... Who knows......"
I looked out the car window at the streetlights that were falling backwards, and it was actually fun to laugh and fight, we laughed and laughed.
Early on Friday morning, the first to open was the warm-up project of the auction - the auction exhibition. I went over at noon to take a look, and although it wasn't a good time, there were a lot of people.
When I was about to leave, Fang Tianyu happened to come in: "Xin Xin." β
I paused and nodded at Fang Tianyu: "I came over to see the exhibition during my lunch break, Mr. Fang really cherishes time like gold." β
"Just after the meeting, Vice President Qiao invited me to come over and have a look." Fang Tianyu looked at me with a complicated gaze and some confusion.
"Those two take your time, I have to go back to work." I nodded at Fang Tianyu and Qiao Yi'an, "Mr. Fang, Vice President Qiao, goodbye." β
I can probably guess what Fang Tianyu is confusing about, because Jing Xin, who he knows, will definitely not stay with a man as a **, no matter how much he loves and how difficult it is to give up, he will not.
Actually, if it was three or four years ago, maybe it wouldn't have been that long, just a year ago. If you sue me, I'll be entangled with a man who has a fiancΓ©e, and I'll tell you absolutely β that can't be, and if it's true, I'm definitely crazy. But you see, I'm not crazy now, but I'm with Qiao Yichen. I don't know where my bottom line for Qiao Yichen is, only one thing is very clear - if that person is Qiao Yichen, nothing is impossible. I now understand that Qiao Yichen used to yell at me hysterically, and he told me not to leave him, otherwise he didn't know what crazy he was going to do to keep me.
We always think that some deep-rooted things will never change, but in fact they are not, this change is subtle, and when you think about looking back, it has long been unrecognizable.
The auction officially opened at 8 p.m., and the ornately decorated venue was packed. With the appearance of the last shot, the ancient Roman gem-relief glass vase, the whole venue boiled over. Yingjia Auctions' 'White Glove' describes this priceless auction: "This auction is made with silver powder added to the glass firing process to form a deep purple color that symbolizes nobility, it once belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Maharaja, and it is an art treasure from the same period as the Portland vase in the British Museum, and its starting price is 95 million ......."
As soon as the starting price came out, the participants raised their signs, and the atmosphere of the venue was pushed to a new peak. In stark contrast to the fiery atmosphere in the venue, I was standing in the dark and light to supervise the auction, I was wearing the most simple black skirt, my hair was curled back of my head, and I used a black pearl hairpin to pinn it, which was neat and capable without being too plain and incompatible with such a high-standard auction. With a headset on my left ear, I calmly directed the lights and sound equipment to change to the rhythm of the venue. It was so dark compared to the brightly lit booth that almost no one noticed me standing in the dark, except that when the light occasionally swept in, the ear drills on my earlobes would shine with a dazzling fire. And when the light sweeps over Qiao Yichen, who is sitting in the front row, the same visual effect will appear.
The bidding was concentrated in the VIP seats in the front row, and when the final round of bidding rose to 5 million, the number of people holding up the sign gradually decreased, and not everyone could afford it. The man sitting in the middle elegantly raised the number plate in his hand, and his facial features had both the delicacy of the Oriental and the Luotuo of the Westerner. A good figure like a professional model holds up a well-textured suit just right, and it looks extra tall even when sitting.
"One hundred and eighty million once, one hundred and eighty million twice, one hundred and eighty million three times...... No one is holding up their cards anymore? The trading hammer in the hands of the 'white gloves' fell: "Okay, congratulations to Mr. No. 9 for auctioning this priceless gem-embossed glass vase for 180 million." β
My gaze fell on seat nine with the light, and just met a pair of secretive eyes, Li Mingyang winked at me a little playfully. The Ruyao Azure amphora was identified as a fake by Mr. Shen, and the auction house couldn't find a similar one for a while. Old Man Qiao had no choice but to take out this thing to replace it. Most people buy art for investment, but Mr. Qiao likes to collect, so he definitely can't bear to cut his love. It is estimated that the old man has scolded Qiao Yi'an who stabbed this basket to death in his heart. Qiao Yichen is quite calculating, I guess he asked Li Mingyang to take this vase back first, and then find a suitable opportunity to give it to his grandfather in a few days, there is really no one with such a filial grandson.
The last shot was perfect, the guests left their seats one after another, and I commanded with my headset: "Group C and Team E are responsible for the aftermath, and the others call it a day." β
I took off my headset and walked out of the studio through the back passage, my job is to supervise the scene, and I am not responsible for the aftermath, but I still have to do some handover work.
"Xin Xin." I walked into the work area, and Li Mingyang just went over to confirm the signature: "I didn't lose money on this bottle?" β
I really want to say - you just pretend, even if you lose money, you will buy it, anyway, it is Qiao Yichen who pays in the end. But to be honest, 180 million dollars to buy such an antique vase is really not a loss: "Big brother not only did not lose but also made a profit, you didn't listen to the 'white gloves' said, this is the same period of art as the Portland vase in the British Museum, this sentence translated into a sentence close to the national conditions can probably be understood as - this thing has a very high artistic value and collection value, there is a similar one, now collected in the Palace Museum." I smiled at Li Mingyang: "If you are abroad, this price will definitely not be auctioned." β
"If it's so good, I'm reluctant to do it." Li Mingyang said half-truthfully.
"Big brother, this is a leak, don't shoot casually. In England or France, this vase could fetch a whopping 130 million euros. I said it pertinently.
"Jing Xin still has a vision." Old Man Qiao also turned around.
"Old Qiao." Li Mingyang greeted the old man politely.
