Chapter 175: Mysterious Trade Fair
The jadeite jewelry fair mentioned by Bo Sicheng is a high-end trade fair held within the circle.
He had an invitation in his hand, and Sheng Mingzhu learned from him on the way to that an invitation could bring a person, so he took her.
To Sheng Mingzhu's surprise, their car did not drive to any splendid hotel or other venue, but to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
Sheng Mingzhu looked at the dark night outside, raised her eyebrows and looked at Bo Sicheng, "Are you going to sell me?" ”
"How could I be willing to sell you?" Bo Sicheng took out two masks from the storage compartment of the car and handed one of them to Sheng Mingzhu, "The trade fair is held here, and all the participants must wear masks to avoid some trouble." ”
Sheng Mingzhu looked at the things in his hand and was a little speechless.
The two masks brought by Bo Sicheng are couples, one black and one white, covering half of their faces, and they look a bit like the gorgeous shapes used in operas.
She took a black mask and put it on, and saw Bo Sicheng wearing a white mask with a smile in his eyes.
Sheng Mingzhu rolled her eyes very inelegantly and pushed the car door by herself.
Just as she pushed the car door, the high beams of a car coming from behind flickered on her face, and then quickly turned off the lights.
Bo Sicheng got down from the other side of the car, and Sheng Mingzhu could feel that when he looked at the car behind him, he was not in a good mood.
He instructed the driver to leave and walked to the abandoned factory with Sheng Mingzhu.
During the whole process, the car behind it was as if it had been swallowed up by the night, silent.
Sheng Mingzhu whispered to Bo Sicheng and asked, "The rule here is that all guests can't see others before entering the venue?" ”
"Hmm." Bo Sicheng pursed his thin lips, "It is estimated that there are people who don't understand the rules in the car." ”
Bo told Sheng Mingzhu that there are eight entrances to the abandoned factory, and guests choose where to enter at what time and at what time they want to enter according to the time and entrance on their invitations, so as to avoid colliding with other guests who are not well disguised.
Sheng Mingzhu thought of the car and turned off the lights in a panic, and then didn't dare to make a sound at all, always feeling that things were not so simple, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he had to give up.
However, after she got out of the car, she realized that at first glance it was a wasteland, but in fact, there was a hidden mystery.
Just before entering the abandoned factory, she walked on it in high heels, and there were no potholes at all, which did not match the overgrown surface at all.
When it came time to enter the factory, there was no one at the door to check the identity of the guests.
Bo Sicheng took down the two thumb-sized pieces of metal from the plasters and pasted them on his and Sheng Mingzhu's wrists.
He explained: "This is the real ticket, and with this, you can bid for it in a while. ”
As the words fell, Bo Sicheng pushed open the wooden door in front of them.
Everywhere light poured out through the cracks in the door, and the alternation of darkness and light was only for a moment.
Sheng Mingzhu took a step forward behind Bo Sicheng, and the wooden door closed behind her, as if she had entered another world.
The inside of the factory is completely different from the scene of the old and ruined.
All the windows were covered, the interior was completely renovated, and the magnificence made one wonder which dragon's palace it had entered, and it was full of sparkling gems.
Huge rough stones are stacked in patches, and the gemstones that have been bloomed are placed on display shelves, and the rows of various colored gems are dazzling.
Sheng Mingzhu followed Bo Sicheng further inside, and could also see the display cabinet of finished jewelry, under the illumination of the light, those jewelry were even more beautiful like a gift from God.
In addition to Sheng Mingzhu and Bo Sicheng, there were many other guests in the venue, but just like Bo Sicheng said, everyone made some disguises, some were wearing masks, some were wearing veils, in short, there were all kinds of strange things, each with its own strange tricks.
Only the staff of the trade fair are not disguised, they are uniformly dressed in black suits or skirt uniforms, and their expressionless faces make people wonder if they are the original stone of the scene.
A staff member stepped up to them and asked, "Sir, ma'am, do you need to show the way?" ”
Bo Sicheng refused, "No need, let's take a look for ourselves first." ”
Sheng Mingzhu turned his head to look at the other guests and found that there were indeed some people who were accompanied by a staff member, but there were not many.
She keenly felt that Bo Sicheng didn't make this decision at random, so she pulled Bo Sicheng's cuffs and asked, "Why don't you let them follow?" ”
Bo Sicheng said very bluntly, "Because I don't want to be wronged." ”
Sheng Mingzhu understands in seconds.
This time, looking at the people who had found the staff to follow, Sheng Mingzhu felt that they looked like little fat pigs who had come to the trade fair by themselves to be slaughtered.
Bo Sicheng asked, "What to see first?" Rough or open? ”
"Let's see what to do first." Sheng Mingzhu looked at the large group of people on the other side of the pile of rough stones and frowned, she didn't really want to be in the limelight at this fair.
It's a pity that Sheng Mingzhu took a look at the opened jade, and the only one with an air mass was still small, and that small air mass was not as big as a soybean, and it was not of much use unless it waited for a few more decades.
"Let's go and see the rough again, maybe we can get a piece of what you want." Bo Sicheng looked at her with more and more disappointment, and knew that there was no jade available.
Sheng Mingzhu nodded, in the end, she still didn't want to let go of the Hetian jade with a small air mass, she wanted to take it back and try it, if she could find a way to accelerate the growth of the air mass.
"I want this piece of jade."
"How much is this Hetian jade?"
These two voices came out at the same time, the first sentence was said by Sheng Mingzhu, and the second sentence was said by a woman in an evening dress and a mask with a beautiful face.
The staff behind the counter glanced at the "beautiful face", "This lady, sorry, you're a little late." ”
After speaking, he handed the credit card machine to Sheng Mingzhu and motioned for her to swipe the card directly according to the price of jade.
Sheng Mingzhu didn't care about the woman who asked the price next to her, and directly took out the card to swipe, but unexpectedly, the "beautiful face" slapped on the credit card machine, blocking Sheng Mingzhu's action of swiping the card.
The beauty looked at the staff aggressively and asked, "I obviously spoke with her, why did I say that I was late?" ”
The staff replied expressionlessly, "Madam, you are asking for the price, and she is deciding to buy it." ”
The beautiful face shouted in disbelief: "How much difference can this be? ”
Bo Sicheng glanced at the angry beauty's face, grabbed her hand covering the card machine, and shook it aside.
The beautiful face pounced again and slammed into Sheng Mingzhu.
Sheng Mingzhu was caught off guard and almost threw herself on the ground.
