Chapter 144: Xiangcheng

A week later –

"According to the past practice, the auction of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce is usually held in their headquarters, East Pole City, but this time it seems to be a little different, the venue is in Xiangcheng...... It feels like something is going to happen. Bai Yanruo flipped through the invitation card in his hand and read it several times, and said something meaningful, and handed the invitation card to Ye Chaoxiao again as he spoke.

"What's wrong with that?"

Putting away the invitation, Ye Chaoxiao asked a little puzzled, he also learned later that in the inner courtyard of Qizhong Courtyard, he was not the only one who got Xiang Bucai's invitation, in addition to Xiao Yihan, Ling Xiaozhi and others, including Bai Yanruo. It was also after learning that Bai Yanruo also had an invitation card that Ye Chaoxiao made up his mind to participate in this so-called East Pole Chamber of Commerce auction. And at this moment, he and Bai Yanruo were sitting on the carriage heading to the destination of this time-Xiangcheng, this carriage was simply different from the one they had done before, the spacious and sturdy carriage, the steady pace of the horse, there was a coachman to drive it, and there was even a special magic circle in this carriage to prevent others from listening, which can be said to be very high-end.

"It's nothing, I just think this auction is a little weird, first, the location is different, second, the things that will be auctioned in this auction have not given any news in advance, it seems to be deliberately sealed, and third, that is, almost all of the people invited to this auction are the best of the younger generation in the East Pole Region, at least we now know that everyone who has this invitation is like this. It's strange, it's really strange, the East Pole Chamber of Commerce in the past would never engage in such fancy things. Bai Yanruo said in a deep voice, this auction is very strange from any angle, in fact, if it weren't for Ye Chaoxiao and a few other people to participate in this auction, I'm afraid that his troublesome Excellency would have avoided it a long time ago.

"Is it weird? Could it be that there is some conspiracy or scam in this auction?"

"That's not it, there shouldn't be anyone in the East Pole Domain who is bold enough to use the name of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce to deceive...... What's more, the Xiangcheng where this auction is located is the location of the first branch of the Dongji Chamber of Commerce in addition to the headquarters of the Dongji City, and the Xiang family, who rules Xiangcheng, has occupied most of the power of the Dongji Chamber of Commerce since the establishment of the Dongji Chamber of Commerce, and is a well-deserved first family in the Dongji Chamber of Commerce......" Bai Yan said casually, suddenly changed his words, and said slowly:

"Including the current president, the three consecutive presidents have been served by the Xiang family!"

“!”

Hearing Bai Yanruo's words, a fat figure suddenly flashed in Ye Chaoxiao's head, and that guy seemed to be surnamed Xiang...... Xiang Cheng, Xiang Jia, and the East Pole Chamber of Commerce can send out invitations to the auction at will, and that guy is almost born with a talent for business, everything seems to be reasonable. Ye Chaoxiao realized that there had always been such a character hidden by his side!

"It seems that you know something, that's right, that classmate of yours is indeed from the Xiang family, and what he used during the inner courtyard selection competition was the method of the Xiang family...... At that time, I knew his general identity, but I didn't tell you later. Bai Yanruo glanced at Ye Chaoxiao and said slowly, but only he knew that he had deceived Ye Chaoxiao in a sense, and he knew Xiang Bucai's identity before that. He paused, as if remembering something again, rolled his eyes, and said half-jokingly:

"Then again, it's okay to get an invitation, but you still dare to come? You don't look like you have much money...... Are you still an invisible rich man? Pretend to be poor, boy. ”

"Anyway, I just come out to take a look, and I don't buy anything, isn't that what you said, Brother Bai? Knowing that Bai Yanruo was making fun of himself, Ye Chaoxiao smiled and responded. And then again, when it comes to the word invisible rich, I'm afraid Bai Yanruo is the real invisible rich, although the carriage they took this time was rented, it still cost three thousand gold coins a day, and before setting off from Qizhongyuan, Bai Yanruo also paid for a set of high-end clothes for the two of them, although I don't know the specific price, but it is not expensive. Although he felt guilty for letting Bai Yanruo spend so much money for himself, but looking at Bai Yanruo's indifferent look, Ye Chaoxiao also put this gratitude in his heart for the time being.

"It really doesn't look like ...... Hey, it's here......"

Bai Yanruo was about to say something, and suddenly felt that the carriage that was originally moving stopped, Bai Yanruo subconsciously opened the curtain of the carriage, and it was already dark night outside the window, but the sky in front of the carriage was still a daytime - beyond the high city gate and city wall, you can still clearly see the lights in the city, the bright and gorgeous lights can be described as extremely luxurious, illuminating the entire sky into a scene that never sleeps, this is the destination of Ye Chaoxiao's trip - Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng is a city that started with pure commerce, if it comes to economic prosperity, I am afraid that there is no comparable existence in the entire East Pole Region except for East Pole City, the carriage stopped in front of the city gate for a while, and it didn't take long for the carriage to walk into this prosperous city at a slow speed.

Although he had heard Bai Yanruo's description before, but after really seeing the scenery of Xiangcheng, Ye Chaoxiao felt that his imagination was too barren - after entering from the city gate, it was a wide avenue, this avenue was made of solid and beautiful marble, enough to stuff more than a dozen carriages at the same time, and there were exquisite street lamps every few meters on both sides of the avenue, illuminating the entire street, and this avenue was an extremely long straight road, looking from afar, it was like a heavenly road scattered on the starry sky. There are wide sidewalks under the street lamps, and when you expand to both sides, you can see different shops and inns, most of which are four or five storeys or even higher. There are many other vehicles on the avenue, and there are many passers-by on the sidewalks - the sound of horses' hooves, shouts, footsteps and even bargaining comes and goes, like a wave, wave after wave, so lively!

For Ye Chaoxiao, who came out of a small Qingcheng, a small martial artist, and a poor family since he was a child, even if his heart seems to be calm and dignified among his peers, the first time he saw such a scene that many people can hardly see once in their lives, he still opened his mouth in surprise, and his face was almost attached to the glass of the car window, eager to receive everything in this prosperous city in his eyes. When he entered Yuehua City last time, the scenery of Yuehua City was several times more prosperous than Qingcheng, and now it seems that the prosperity of this Xiangcheng is several times more than that of Yuehua City.

Looking at Ye Chaoxiao's curious and surprised appearance, the corners of Bai Yanruo's mouth raised a smile, and he didn't know why, looking at Ye Chaoxiao's appearance, Bai Yanruo's heart became inexplicably happy, he turned his head to the window on the other side, and began to enjoy the scenery of Xiangcheng comfortably.

Even if you look at the scenery quietly like this, it must be a rare leisure.
