Chapter 69: The Blossom (4)
On July 31, 2017, the third floor of Five Star Plaza in EAST City.
Obviously, the weather outside was as hot as a sauna, but when Tu Nan got off the elevator on the third floor, the moment the elevator door opened, the cold breath that came to her face made her shiver.
When Tu Nan just walked out of the elevator room, and the door was still closed, a thin man wearing a black windbreaker who lowered the brim of his hat and couldn't see his face hit her hard. Tu Nan staggered back a few steps, a little annoyed, and was about to turn back to say that the man had already entered the elevator, and the moment the elevator door was about to close, Tu Nan saw the man's sharp eyes directly opposite his eyes.
"Neuropathy."
Tu Nan turned his back in annoyance and walked towards 301.
Number 301 is a room with double doors and the door is closed. There was a girl wearing a ceremonial cheongsam standing at the door, and when she saw Tu Nan walking over, she took the initiative to greet her.
"Hello Miss, please show me the invitation."
"Invitation?"
Tu Nan raised her eyebrows slightly, that person only sent her the time and place on WeChat, and didn't mention the invitation or anything?
"Yes, we must enter the auction hall by invitation."
Seeing that the people who came behind entered the venue one by one with invitations, there was no one Tu Nan knew inside, and he wanted to see what it was like inside through the crack in the door, but there was a curtain after entering the door, blocking everything in the door.
Tu Nan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the WeChat account: "How can I get an invitation?" ”
But after waiting for a long, long time, the person didn't reply to the message.
"I'll think of another way." Tu Nan turned around with some annoyance, ready to leave.
"Miss, please wait a minute."
Hearing the etiquette lady stop herself, Tu Nan frowned and turned her head.
Miss Etiquette smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and pulled out a rose-red card from between Tu Nan's back and backpack, Tu Nan looked at it, it was actually an invitation.
"Please come in."
Seeing that there was an invitation, the most perfect smile bloomed on the face of the hostess, she took a few steps back, opened the door of 301 sideways, and bowed slightly to invite Tu Nan in.
Tu Nan's face became solemn, thinking of the man who bumped into him just now, he specially put the invitation letter here for him, and the moment when he looked at each other, Tu Nan would never forget his emaciated face.
Three-seven-point hair, slender body, should be around thirty years old. If Tu Nan could have predicted what would happen in the future at this time, he would definitely not see his sister Tu Zhi again in this life.
Lifting the curtain, Tu Nan walked into the 301 venue, and when she fixed her eyes on the whole picture of the venue, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.
The whole venue was about the size of a university auditorium, and the hall was magnificent, accommodating no less than 30 tables, and about 10 people could sit at one table alone. But in such a big venue, almost all the seats were already full.
Tu Nan had no intention of finding a location, because she found that directly north of the venue was a stage, the stage where her sister was imprisoned in a glass box in the WeChat picture, and there were three coffin-sized things on the stage, which were covered by black cloths, covering them tightly, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside.
"Ma'am, please come with me." Just as Tu Nan was about to go on stage to look at the things under the black cloth, a waiter with a wine glass stopped her silently and took her to a position in the corner.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, you're too late, and there's only one place left. But don't worry, the auction starts in half an hour. Seeing Tu Nan sit down, the waiter bowed his head and apologized.
"It's okay." Because he couldn't go up and see what was under the black cloth, Tu Nan's face was not very good-looking.
Auctions?
Tu Nan thought that when she was asked for an invitation by Miss Etiquette at the door, she mentioned that this was the auction venue, but what was the auction thing? Is it just something under the black cloth on the stage? If my guess is correct, one of them is my sister.
If it's an auction, you may not be able to buy anything with your own financial ability, and it's obviously unrealistic to see several security guards standing around the stage with electric batons.
Instead of thinking about these meaningless things, it's better to take a look at it first, after all, buying and selling human beings is illegal, and when you see something under the black cloth, as long as you have a sister, you can call the police directly, so that everyone will be happy?
"Ma'am, give." Tu Nan, who was sitting at the table in a daze, suddenly felt that someone was calling him, turned his head, and found that it was the etiquette lady at the door before, she held a number plate in her hand and handed it to herself.
The number plate is the kind of number plate that is usually used for auction, Tu Nan's one is written in bold with 285, if you guess correctly, this should be the corresponding number of the person participating in the auction.
Tu Nan took the number, nodded and thanked the etiquette lady, her heart was pounding, and she watched the other people sit in their places indifferently, most of them came in pairs and chatted with each other. And these people are dressed very formally, the men are wearing suits, the women are wearing dresses, only Tu Nan is alone, wearing a sportswear and carrying a backpack, looking even poorer than the waiters here.
Suddenly, a burst of melodious music sounded, and the whole venue fell silent. Everyone looked to the northern stage, the rostrum to be exact.
Under the attention of everyone, an emaciated man pushed an old man with gray hair in a wheelchair to the side of the stage, and that man was the slender man in a trench coat who had bumped into himself outside the elevator before.
"Ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening everyone, welcome to the auction held by our Wenyou company, I am the auctioneer A Lai, and it is my honor to preside over today's auction for you. This auction is based on the principles of openness, fairness, justice, honesty and trustworthiness, I hope that everyone will bid enthusiastically and wish you all good luck! ”
"The products in this auction are the exclusive collection of Mr. Wen Yanqing, chairman of Wenyou Company, because many friends want to treasure it, but they can't. Mr. Wen decided to reluctantly cut his love and put out a few pieces of his collection for auction to someone who was destined to do so. In addition, Mr. Wen has entrusted me with the auction rights. ”
Tu Nan looked at Ah Lai and Wen Yanqing on the stage with an unkind face. What kind of person is Ah Lai, don't think about it too much, but when it comes to this Wen Yanqing, everything on the stage is his exclusive collection, could it be that one of his collections is his sister?
But he was about sixty or seventy years old, and he was full of silver hair just after the age of sixties, and he had to rely on a wheelchair to move, as if he had had been seriously ill. Besides, he has a loving face, and his smile wrinkles one by one, and those who meet him for the first time should think that he is a highly respected old man.
"Next, I will read out the auction rules and precautions for you......"
Tu Nan didn't have the heart to listen to these rules and regulations read by Ah Lai, she just wanted to know if her sister was on stage. And this Ah Lai, he is obviously the host of this auction, and he knows that he can't afford anything, but he wants to tell himself in this euphemistic way, what do you want to do?
After reading the rules and precautions, Ah Lai turned sideways and walked to the exhibit on the far left of the rostrum, and gently picked up the corner of the black cloth with his hand.
"Now, I'm going to show you the first piece of the collection: purple jade smoke."
