In the center of the south of the Yangtze River, a majestic river of more than 100 meters wide crosses the river, the river water is clear and clean, there are green belts planted on both sides of the river, colorful lanterns are hung on the trees, the outline of high-rise buildings is reflected in the water, and there are many pedestrians walking leisurely by the river.

The river is not only a waterway in the south of the Yangtze River, but also a tourist attraction favored by tourists, and every night, large and small cruise ships are full of passengers, floating slowly through the river, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Cheng Hao has lived in Jiangnan for so long, and today is the first time to come to this place, and he is a little excited and happy in his heart.

The auction was held on a luxurious three-story cruise ship, the largest cruise ship in Gangnam, with a capacity of more than 1,000 people, a hotel, restaurants, bars, and swimming pools.

If you want to spend a night on this cruise ship, the ticket will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Today, Cheng Hao picked up a bargain, didn't spend a penny, and followed Wang Wenjing to board the cruise ship.

Shortly after boarding, the cruise ship left the shore and began its journey.

There were about five or six hundred people on the cruise ship, all of whom were celebrities in the antique world, rushing to the auction.

The first floor of the cruise ship is a restaurant and bar, the second floor is a hotel for tourists to rest and sleep, and there is an open-air hall on the top of the third floor, which can hold large-scale events or dance parties.

Tonight's auction was held in the open-air hall on the third floor, but now there was still half an hour before the auction began, Wang Wenjing took Cheng Hao to the second floor and met with Zhong Lao first.

Wang Wenjing called her grandfather, found the number of the room where he lived, and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, Zhong Lao was on crutches, dressed in Tang costume, and showed a kind smile energetically, and a middle-aged man stood behind him, it was Wang Chunlin.

Wang Wenjing smiled sweetly, stepped forward to take Zhong Lao's hand, and greeted them: "Grandpa, Dad!" ”

Cheng Hao also hurriedly shouted: "Zhong Lao is good, Uncle Wang is good!" ”

Zhong Lao was very happy to see the two of them, and laughed heartily: "Haha, Xiao Jing, Xiao Hao, I haven't seen you two for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

Wang Wenjing pouted and said aggrievedly: "What else, isn't it just that I go to work every day, I have a lot of work in the auction house, and I have to be busy until night every day before I can go home." ”

Zhong Lao corrected her and said, "I didn't ask you about work, I mean how is your relationship with Xiao Hao?" How far have you come, and when are you going to get married, so that grandpa can hold his grandson as soon as possible? ”

Wang Wenjing's face flushed with shame in an instant, like an apple, she glanced at Cheng Hao, who was secretly smiling, and said coquettishly to Zhong Lao: "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about, ashamed to death......"

"Haha." Zhong Lao laughed out loud, and Wang Chunlin next to him also laughed.

After a short laugh and conversation, the four of them left the room and went to the third lobby of the cruise ship, ready to participate in the upcoming auction.

The open-air hall was the size of five or six basketball courts, with a stage at the bow of the ship, and dozens of square tables below it, neatly arranged in rows.

There are red wine and snacks at each table, and there is a number plate in the shape of a tablet, with numbers on it, and buttons, Cheng Hao guessed that this should be used to bid for quotations.

Before the auction began, the guests had already arrived one after another, and the hall was full.

Zhong Lao and Wang Chunlin appeared in the hall, which immediately caused a lot of sensation, and the guests flocked to greet Zhong Lao.

"Zhong Lao, I haven't seen you for a long time, your old body is still so tough!"

"Mr. Zhong, it's a pity that I didn't see you at the exhibition last time, but it's good that you're here today."

……

Zhong Lao responded politely one by one, greeting acquaintances in the antique world.

There were also many people who came up to say hello to Wang Chunlin and Wang Wenjing, but few people paid attention to Cheng Hao on the side, and some even whispered: "Who is that young man?" Why do I never seem to have seen it? ”

One of the people next to him told him, "You don't even know him? He is Jing Gongzi's boyfriend, named Cheng Hao, and I have seen him at exhibitions before. ”

"What? Is Jing Gongzi in love? ”

This news spread in the hall and caused quite a stir, and countless people threw jealous glances at Cheng Hao.

I can't imagine that the first goddess of Jiangnan is actually cheaper than this stinky boy!

After greeting the guests, Zhong Lao took Wang Wenjing and the three of them to the first row and sat down at the "001" table.

No. 001, it can be seen that Zhong Lao's prestige is undoubtedly the highest in the audience.

Zhong Lao deserves to sit in this position, but Cheng Hao sat here, and some people immediately expressed their displeasure.

"Stinky boy, is this where you're sitting? Do you understand the rules? ”

Cheng Hao's butt had just touched the table, and a cold voice suddenly came out from behind him, and when he looked back, it was a man in a white tuxedo, with a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing.

Tang Shaotian?

That's right, it is Tang Shaotian of the Tang family, and he is the only one who dares not to give Cheng Hao face in front of Zhong Lao.

"Why can't I sit here?" Cheng Hao looked at Tang Shaotian and asked coldly.

Tang Shaotian said: "Haha, joke, don't you have a B number in your heart?" This is the chief position, only respectable people are qualified to sit here, which onion are you Cheng Hao? You don't have any money, you don't have prestige in the antiques world, why are you sitting here, and if you sit here, what will other people think? ”

Cheng Hao was speechless for a moment, his momentum was a little empty, Tang Shaotian was right, he really had no prestige in the antique world, and being able to sit here was completely stained with Zhong Lao's light.

Just when he was in embarrassment, Wang Wenjing stood up with a frosty face, and said coquettishly: "Tang Shaotian, Cheng Hao is my boyfriend, equivalent to my grandfather's future grandson-in-law, then he is a member of the Zhong family, do you look down on my grandfather or the Zhong family?" ”

Tang Shaotian sneered: "You also said just now, he is Zhong Lao's future grandson-in-law, not the current grandson-in-law, you and Cheng Hao are not married yet, how can he be regarded as a member of the Zhong family?" ”

"You!" Wang Wen stomped his feet calmly, turned around and complained to Zhong Lao: "Grandpa, he bullied me. ”

Zhong Lao also looked helpless, this situation is not easy to deal with, if he favors Cheng Hao, it will sweep the face of the Tang family a little, but if he doesn't say anything, his granddaughter can't get down the steps.

At this time, at the entrance of the hall, a muddy old voice came.

"Xiaotian, don't be rude!"

Everyone looked for prestige, and saw a white-haired old man, about 70 years old, holding a relief cane of golden silk nanmu, wearing a gray tunic, reading glasses, and a vintage pocket watch hanging in his chest pocket.
