Chapter 026: Talented and Beautiful, Female Zhuge
Li Rui returned home in a huff, although he did not achieve the purpose of the trip, but the arrogance of the Guanghui Group still left a deep impression on him.
But at the same time, it also made him firmly believe that the Korn Ferry Group was not as terrible as he imagined.
"Li Rui, didn't you say that you won't go home for dinner at noon? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Qin Lingling was also very surprised when she saw Li Rui come back suddenly.
"Oh, it was canceled at the last minute, so I'll be back." Li Rui replied.
"Then I'll go get you lunch."
As soon as Qin Lingling's words fell, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a deep voice.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
"Who's going to find here?"
Li Rui's face was nervous for a while, he was worried that it would be the killer of the last assassination who came to the door again.
"Lingling, you go into the house first."
"Li Rui, don't be nervous, maybe it's a neighbor? Let's take a look first. ”
"Hmm." Li Rui looked solemn, stood up and walked towards the door.
There was no sound in the living room, and Qin Lingling also returned to the room nervously, thinking about how to deal with it.
Li Rui's face was slightly gloomy, and he carefully opened the door a crack, and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Have you been to the Dragon Lake Hotel this morning?"
Hearing this, Li Rui frowned, and said coldly to the people outside the door: "You are following me? ”
A middle-aged man in a straight suit, after seeing him, immediately smiled respectfully: "You misunderstood, we didn't follow you, I am the new manager of the Longzhihu Hotel, and I just took office in the afternoon." When you left the auction site in the morning, our leaders felt very sorry and specially ordered me to come to the door with a gift to apologize. ”
Li Rui glanced at the man in surprise and asked, "You are from the Dragon Lake Hotel?" ”
The man hurriedly said: "Yes, we deeply reproach ourselves for your departure, Longzhihu did not entertain us well, this is our mistake, I hope you can forgive us regardless of your past suspicions." ”
With that, the man waved behind him.
Several strong men in black immediately carried gifts and put them at the door.
"This is a box of Ley 925 tequila, the market price is 5 million, a little heart, and I hope to smile."
"Really?" Li Rui was stunned, and in his impression, this kind of tequila Ley's 925 wine cost more than 200,000 yuan simply to sell a bottle inlaid with platinum, and it can be said that it is enough to apologize for such an expensive wine.
Designed by artist Alexander Gomez, this ultra-luxury wine is made in white and platinum and set with 6,400 diamonds, making it the most expensive alcoholic beverage of all beverages in the world.
"Such a valuable gift, what a deserved."
"Sir, this is our mistake, Ms. Jiang Wanting, the general manager of Guanghui Group, is at the auction site at this time and can't come in person, so let me apologize on her behalf and say that you must appreciate it again no matter what!"
After the man finished speaking, he bowed deeply in front of Li Rui.
"Okay, in that case, you can put your things down."
The middle-aged man then took out two golden invitations from his pocket, respectfully handed them to Li Rui, and continued: "This is the invitation to the new auction, please be sure to go, this time I promise not to disappoint you again, please give us a chance to make amends!" ”
After speaking, he took out a card from his pocket, handed it to Li Rui, and said: "We also give you this special VIP card made by Guanghui Group, this kind of card, we only issued ten cards, valid for life, come to Guanghui Group, you can enjoy the highest courtesy!" ”
Li Rui glanced at the VIP card, the card face was golden, and it was gold leaf and diamond-inlaid with diamonds.
He said lightly: "I'm not interested in the Korn Ferry Group. ”
"Sir, if you're not interested in the Korn Ferry Group, how can you go to the auction?"
Li Ruiwan said, "I'm more interested in the auction. ”
"No matter what you are interested in, this limited VIP card is helpful to you, and those who have this VIP card can come and go freely within the Korn Ferry Group, and they also enjoy the highest treatment."
"Oh?" Li Rui was even more shocked and asked: "I was just absent from an auction, and I am a little flattered that the Radiant Group gave me such a noble treatment." ”
"You don't have to doubt, Miss Jiang ordered, this is our first arrival in Jiangmen, we are not familiar with the place, the most important thing is to make friends, therefore, we don't want today's unhappiness to lead to awkwardness in the future."
"Understand, understand, understand."
Don't scold the person who apologizes, and don't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, Li Rui is naturally familiar with this truth.
It's just that Jiang Wanting didn't expect that the object she specially sent to apologize to her turned out to be the number one strong enemy she was going to deal with.
Or how can it be said that it is a creation that makes people.
"Please!" The middle-aged man made a gesture of respect.
"Then I'll have to say hello to my family."
After speaking, Li Rui turned back to the door and said, "Lingling, I have something to do and go out again, so don't prepare lunch for me." ”
Qin Lingling relieved herself and responded: "Okay, then you go early and come back early, pay attention to safety!" ”
"Don't worry!"
Soon, the car came to the Dragon Lake Hotel again.
The auction table in front of it is covered with a red carpet, and the sofas and booths under the stage are all in the background, and the tables are full of foreign wines, drinks, fresh melons and fruits for guests to enjoy.
"This is your seat, please take a seat, if you have any orders, we have someone to serve you at any time." After saying that, the middle-aged man bowed and left.
Li Rui looked around, the entire auction hall on the second floor was a box, and the box facing the auction table was undoubtedly prepared for Jiang Wanting, the general manager of the Guanghui Group.
At this time, I suddenly heard a commotion behind me.
I saw a group of people walking in through the passage, and it was a few bodyguards who opened the way.
"Teacher Ma!"
"Oh my God, is this the legendary Ma Youdu, the first treasure expert of the Celestial Empire, Mr. Ma?"
"Yes, Mr. Ma is also here, Guanghui Group is really wealthy, I heard that Mr. Ma's appearance fee has reached 10 million yuan!"
There were constant loud exclamations from the crowd.
The people present were all distinguished guests participating in the auction, but at this moment, they were all around a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth robe with a cold and arrogant face, and his expression was extremely respectful.
Li Rui glanced at it and said, "It turns out that this is that Ma Youdu, this posture is quite sufficient......"
At this time, a beautiful woman in a fiery red dress walked to the front of the stage, with a faint smile on her face, saluted everyone, and said with a smile: "Welcome to all distinguished guests and friends, today you are busy to participate in the treasure auction held by the Guanghui Group, all of you are celebrities and rich people, dragons and phoenixes among people, and bright people from all parties, I hope that this auction is worth your trip!" ”
Listening to the words of this beautiful auctioneer, you know that this person is experienced and must have presided over a lot of auction activities.
"Without further ado, let's take a look, what is the first treasure that comes up?" I saw that the beauty made a gesture, and a beautiful assistant held a treasure in front of the beauty's auction table. Then he slowly left the table, and a red cloth was placed on the baby, so that everyone could not see what was inside.
I only listened to the beautiful woman say: "The first treasure of today's auction is - the pearl of the blue sea and night!" The starting price is 13 million! “
Before the words fell, a man sitting in the first row took the lead in raising a sign.
"Thirteen million at a time!"
Immediately, a man held up a sign.
"Fourteen million, fourteen million at a time!"
But before the auctioneer's voice fell, another person immediately raised his card.
Li Rui only cared about himself eating grapes on the side, and had no intention of participating at all.
After a while, the pearl was auctioned away for 20 million yuan that night.
Although the transaction price has nearly doubled, Li Rui knows that the reserve price of the night pearl is at least about 18 million, which is equivalent to half selling and half giving away.
"The following is the second lot in this sale," as the beauty lifted the red cloth, the second treasure also revealed its true face, "It is Tang Baiyu Crystal." ”
Li Rui looked up and saw that the crystal was pure white without a trace of miscellaneous iron, and it was crystal clear on the red cloth, like a fairy!
Not only is it beautiful, but it is also precious, even if it is placed at home, it is also a symbol of status.
"Starting price, 50 million!"
At this time, in a box on the second floor, someone shouted "70 million".
"Wow!"
The people below boiled instantly.
But then, everyone gasped.
70 million means that the wool of the Korn Glory Group can no longer be obtained.
"Distinguished guests, please be impatient, let me introduce you to this lot, this white jade crystal is not only a precious cultural relic, but also a magical artifact with extraordinary spiritual power, which has a miraculous effect on the cultivation of people's skills, it can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there is no market!"
This is such a precious thing, those major families, the Zhangtuo people who have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, or the rich and rich people, who want to change the identity of Muggles and become cultivators, all show happy expressions.
For those who did not come from other families, there are also clansmen who want to go back and report quickly, so as to get a reward.
Some of the people below said: "I haven't heard of such treasures, I haven't brought enough money!" ”
Suddenly, there was chaos underneath, and there was a commotion.
Li Rui frowned, realizing that the person in the box had spent a lot of money and had a good eye, and there was a high probability that he was also a cultivator.
After a while, two more hostesses pushed up to the stage with a small cart to bring a lot, which was an antique copper incense burner, with white mist curling and a strange fragrance.
The auctioneer introduced: "This is the Tang Dynasty pine crane reflux incense burner, with two boxes of ambergris, is the Tang Dynasty court of the royal thing, the people are not allowed to use it without authorization, and the production method has been lost, smell refreshing, there is a slight effect of fun!" ”
After speaking, he motioned to Miss Manners to light incense.
A hostess in a cheongsam carefully scooped a pinch of incense with a silver spoon and lit it.
I saw the white smoke like a waterfall, slowly flowing down along the incense burner, the smoke was swirling, the pine crane on the incense burner was lifelike, vivid, faintly flapping its wings and flying.
A faint fragrance suddenly wafted in the auction hall, and the smell of it was refreshing, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed.
A middle-aged lady sitting next to Li Rui immediately nodded and said, "It is indeed authentic ambergris, which is refined by sperm whales, and this kind of handmade incense process is basically unavailable now." ”
The auctioneer knocked on the small gavel twice and said, "The starting price of the Songhe reflux incense burner is 80 million, and the price is increased by 10 million once." ”
This incense burner is exquisitely made, has a certain collection value, and the auction price is also moderate, and the audience has raised signs.
The atmosphere at the venue was enthusiastic, and the guests bid one after another.
However, Li Rui has little interest in these collections.
His attention was all on the box in the center.
I really want to see what kind of character Jiang Wanting, the general manager of the Guanghui Group, who took the trouble to invite her back.
At this time, there was movement in the box where Jiang Wanting was.
A good-looking female assistant holding a sign at the window.
"Miss Jiang asked for 81 million! Eighty-one million at a time! ”
The lady beside Li Rui followed closely: "Eighty-five million! ”
Li Rui smiled faintly and said in his heart: "Interesting, didn't the Guanghui Group want to bribe these dignitaries with treasures, why did it start to raise the price at this time." ”
Thinking of this, Li Rui raised his hand directly: "Eighty-eight million!" ”
The scene was dumbfounded.
The lady beside her was also dumbfounded, she believed that almost all the young talents or rich second generations in Jiangmen knew her, but she had never seen the young man next to her, and it was 88 million as soon as she made a move.
"Did you have money to burn, or did you have a short circuit in your brain?"
Li Rui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Madam, you continue!" ”
The lady spat out, "Am I crazy? 88 million to buy this? Forget it, I'll give it to you! ”
Although the noble lady was very embarrassed on her face, she was indeed reluctant to ask for a price on the basis of 88 million. The value of this incense burner is 85 million, and if you really spend more than 3 million to buy it, you won't be scolded to death by your husband when you go home?
At this time, the auctioneer also dropped the hammer.
"Eighty-eight million, deal, congratulations to this gentleman!"
Immediately, a lady of etiquette came to Li Rui with a wireless credit card machine and said, "Sir, please pay by card." ”
Everyone was staring at Li Rui, and the noble lady even sneered: "Are you sure there are eighty-eight million? ”
Others are also curious about whether this young man, who has never entered the field of view of Jiangmen's high society, can really come up with so much money.
Li Rui smiled indifferently, directly took out the black card, and swiped the card with a bang.
"Swipe successfully!"
Miss Etiquette handed the list to Li Rui and said respectfully: "Sir, the treasures you photographed will be delivered to you before the end!" ”
"Good!"
Others were shocked!
However, while being shocked, everyone ignored one person, and that was Jiang Wanting.
At this time, she was standing at the window of the box on the second floor, looking down.
In the eyes of many people, Li Rui at this time should be wandering in everyone's surprised eyes.
But he was unusually calm, and coincidentally, he also raised his head and looked at the box he was in.
The eyes are facing each other.
Wan Er smiled.
"Look, that is the legendary general manager of the Glorious Group, Jiang Wanting!"
At this time, some people in the audience saw Jiang Wanting who showed her true face and exclaimed.
"Wow, it's really a peerless beauty, I've long heard that Jiang Wanting is both talented and beautiful, not only the country is beautiful, but also talented, Guanghui Group has today's achievements, half of which is due to her, no wonder there is a reputation of 'female Zhuge 'in the world'."
"Yes, yes, when I saw Fang Rong today, 'Female Zhuge 'really deserves its name!"
Everyone began to talk about it, and many men even drooled unconsciously.
