Chapter 20: Stalked

Because except for the booth on the stage, the lights on all sides are dim. No one knew who the owner of that exclamation was.

But like dominoes, it stirred up a chain reaction. There were constant whispers in the audience.

"Isn't this the Buddha statue that was fought over last month?"

"I heard it's an anonymous auction?"

"What was originally only a maximum of two million, but in the end it was maliciously raised to five million?"

"What, what I'm hearing is this version ......"

Gao Fan paid close attention to the conversation of the three not far away.

In the mouths of three people, there are three versions, and I don't know which one is really which home.

The only thing that is certain is that this Buddha statue did cause quite a stir at the time.

"Since this Buddha statue is so precious, why did Liuyun Group bring it to the table."

Gao Fan asked curiously, in his opinion, this was purely an act of pulling hatred.

"That's what I meant to show them!"

"It's about telling people that they have a lot of money."

"To put it bluntly, these things on display, when they are taken out for display, the purpose is not pure.

Qi Mengyu explained to Gao Fan. It has become a common practice for these consortia to look down on each other and to use such semi-public occasions to show their prestige.

And the consequence of this behavior is that the competition and mutual attacks between the two companies are more intense.

They don't really care, though.

Gao Fan was a little embarrassed, and this way of showing off his wealth was too unique. After all, I still have too little knowledge, and I haven't reached that level, so it's hard to have a real experience.

"But I don't think this Buddha statue is ......."

Gao Fan was about to say that the preciousness of this Buddha statue was not to the point of scrambling, but he was interrupted by Qi Mengyu.

"It's not the Buddha statue itself that matters."

"Whether something has value or not depends on its impact."

"A lot of the time, the auction is like a bidding venue."

"The strength you show has a deterrent effect on your opponents and a positive effect on your partners."

Gao Fan nodded thoughtfully, the complexity is never these cold objects measured by money, but the hearts of people who are chasing fame and fortune behind them.

"What are you going to display?"

Gao Fan instantly lost interest in this Buddha statue, thinking that since Qi Mengyu was also here, then the Qi family should also have a collection on display.

"The next one should be."

"I think it's pretty ordinary."

Qi Mengyu clasped his hands in front of his chest and silently looked at the fourth collection presented.

"Linquan Qishi Group, Wuliangye 90th Anniversary Gold Medal Commemorative Liquor."

Gao Fan almost didn't squirt out when he heard the host's introduction.

I saw a bottle of Wuliangye, which was made entirely of gold, dazzling under the light.

"Is this okay?"

Gao Fan looked incredulous.

Qi Mengyu said that although the price of this wine was less than one million at that time, it was very expensive, and it took a lot of effort to get it at that time.

"A bottle of wine, nearly a million?"

Gao Fan confirmed again, afraid that what he was buying was not wine, but a bottle of wine.

Could it be that the life of a rich man is so unpretentious and boring?

Although he was embarrassed, the others present were amazed by the bottle on the stage, and many lamented that they did not have the opportunity to participate in the auction of this bottle of wine.

Gao Fan didn't pay much attention to the rest of the collection on display, compared to the previous four pieces, it seemed ordinary, and it did seem a little insufficient in price.

Even the Wang family, whose strength in Linquan City is only the strength of the Qi family, brought the exhibits that were very mediocre and seemed a little perfunctory.

But overall, it's not worth the trip.

The only thing that puzzled Gao Fan was why Qi Mengyu had to pull himself over.

"There is no why!"

"If there's one reason, it's probably to make you owe me a favor, right?"

Qi Mengyu's answer made Gao Fan a little ridiculous.

In order to make yourself owe a favor?

It's a chic reason, it's hard to refute.

The banquet ended in the commercial hype of the guests, and the driver of the Qi family drove outside the door early to wait.

Gao Fan got a lot of inspiration from tonight's banquet, and on the way back, he was thinking about his shop, and became a little taciturn.

Qi Mengyu talked about the auction for a while, and talked about the gossip about various families for a while.

Gao Fan listens a lot and speaks little. I just can't say anything.

After saying goodbye to Qi Mengyu, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Gao Fan walked through the bustling snack street and walked along the narrow, dimly lit path leading to the residential buildings.

The hustle and bustle of the snack street faded behind him, and the evergreen leaves of the evergreen trees swayed in the faint cold wind, making a subtle rustling sound.

Gao Fan's footsteps are sometimes slow, sometimes leaning to the left, and sometimes deflecting to the right. Judging from the walking posture, the whole person swayed from side to side, looking drunk.

From the time Gao Fan got off the car to the present, there have been seven or eight people sneakily following him, they are slow when they are slow, and they are also reluctant to follow when they are fast.

Gao Fan used the ability of his eyes to pretend to look behind him inadvertently, and saw the familiar face of Wang Xingfu. The others didn't know any of them.

One of the men was fierce-looking, with a bald head shining in the dim light. At first glance, it's not a good stubble.

Gao Fan silently quickened his pace, and suddenly disappeared from people's eyes as if he had a crutch.

"Boss! Gao Fan is gone! ”

A man who had been paying attention to Gao Fan's movements turned around and said. In the dimly lit light, he only saw the figure of the mortal flickering and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The bald man slapped him on the head in dissatisfaction, and his eyes motioned for everyone to continue to follow.

Sure enough, I didn't go far when I saw an even darker alley on the right.

The street lights flickered on and off because of old age and disrepair.

After Gao Fan turned into the alley, he silently waited for their arrival.

He didn't think that Wang Zhiyong would give up, but he didn't expect that within a few days, his people would come to the door again.

"Is that him?"

The bald head saw a figure looming in the alley. Walk inside with a few people.

After a while, the figure seemed to disappear again.

They had to stop again and look around.

"You're looking for me?"

Gao Fan's cold voice suddenly came from behind several people.

Wang Xingfu stood beside the bald man, frightened.

"Wang Shao, are your eyes okay?"

Hearing Gao Fan's question, Wang Xingfu subconsciously touched his eyes, and his eyes were a little more ruthless in the dark.

"You're Gao Fan?"

The bald man turned.

"You've been with me for so long, what do you think?"

Gao Fan thinks it's a little funny, why do these people always like to ask some cool sounds but actually stupid dialogues, what do you keep following him if he is not Gao Fan?

"Boy, you'd better be polite."

"Maybe the only thing that will be useful in a little bit will be if you open your mouth."

The bald man was not annoyed, he had seen a lot of people like Gao Fan. It's all bad-mouthed, and in the end, it's not that they were beaten to their knees and beg for mercy.

"Brother Xu, don't let this kid go!"

"I really want to tear that mouth with my own hands!"

Wang Xingfu said viciously on the side, staring at Gao Fan deadly, the two of them had some deep hatred, for fear that Gao Fan would turn around and run away.

Gao Fan obviously felt Wang Xingfu's hatred for him, and was a little surprised. Didn't you just punch him, this is too stingy. People who don't know think that he was robbed of his girlfriend and brought a green hat.

Thinking of this, Gao Fan had to seriously re-examine the rich second generation he had met in the past few days. What Wang Zhiyong, Fang Weixu, and the person surnamed Wang in front of him, how can people do things so abnormally?

The bald man who was called Brother Xu by Wang Xingfu gestured to the others, and soon they silently scattered in all directions, forming a semi-encirclement. surrounded Gao Fan in the middle.

"I heard Wang Shao say that you won Li Feng?"

The bald man Brother Xu asked.

Gao Fan was stunned, he was a little unfamiliar with this name.

"Who is Li Feng? That muscular man? ”

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered the only muscular man who could fight in the room, and shook his head again and again, looking disgusted.

"What muscles, I think it's all fake."

"He's too vegetable! It's a weak chicken! ”
