Chapter XXVIII
When Zhong Yue and his party finally got rid of the siege of reporters and walked into the hall, the auction was about to start. Lin Yinan quickly glanced at the hall that was already full, and found that the front row was still empty on the left, so he led Zhong Yue and a few guests over and sat down.
Zhong Yue sat on the seat, whispered a few words to the invited guests, raised his eyes to look at the auctioneer who had already walked onto the auction table, and asked Lin Yinan in a low voice: "Have you written down the numbers to be auctioned?" ”
Lin Yinan shook the small card in his hand, "It's all on this, do you want to take a look at it again?" ”
"No, it doesn't matter if anything else, Yuhao's sailboat, you must shoot it back, don't go wrong."
"Don't worry, the ship's number is relatively low, and I've been keeping an eye on it. Besides, if we put such a high price, no one will want to buy it. ”
Zhong Yue looked at the black head in front of him and said, "It's better to be careful, there are many people who come today, in case someone likes to buy it first, I can't explain to Yuhao when I go back." ”
"yes, I see."
Lin Yinan nodded, his eyes searched the surrounding crowd, and muttered: "Good guy, today's formation is not small, the characters with heads and faces are here, it seems that there are still many good people in this world." Hey, hey, Brother Zhong, look, Ji Siming is also here. ”
Zhong Yue looked in the direction indicated by Lin Yinan, with unruly straight hair, it was very conspicuous, and it was really Ji Siming. He said with some disapproval: "Of course he will come on such an occasion." ”
"But this time it seems to be a little different, look at the woman next to him." Lin Yinan stared at Tong En and said.
"When did Ji Siming have no women around him? What's new about this. Zhong Yuetou didn't reply.
At this time, the auction has already begun, and the auctioneer is enthusiastically speaking the opening remarks. Lin Yinan didn't even look at the auctioneer, but kept looking at the direction where Ji Siming and Tong En were sitting.
"Brother Zhong, this time the woman next to Ji Siming seems to have changed her style, this woman looks a little, a little indescribable, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the style Ji Siming likes, I remember the woman he brought at the last annual meeting, ha, it's really hard, not to mention more personality. This time, it seems to have a classical charm, and it has changed to a pure route. ”
Zhong Yue frowned, lowered his voice and said, "When did you change to entertainment?" Don't worry about serious things, run here to see someone's girlfriend coming. ”
"Really, this woman is really a little special, don't believe it yourself." Lin Yinan retracted his gaze and muttered quietly.
Zhong Yue casually turned his head to look over, his gaze stopped.
At this time, the auctioneer had already begun to shout the price of the first donation, Tong En handed the number plate in his hand to Ji Siming, Ji Siming did not answer, and raised his hand to signal her to raise the card.
Tong En silently asked with his mouth: "Me?" ”
Ji Siming nodded.
Tong En shook his head with a smile and handed the sign to Ji Siming again. Ji Siming sat with his hands folded and his mouth towards the auction table, Tong En hesitated to look at the auction table, and couldn't make up his mind for a while. The corners of Ji Siming's mouth turned up slightly, and he stretched out his right hand to grab Tong En's arm and lift it up.
The auctioneer immediately said: "On the 19th, this lady bid 4,800 yuan, is there anyone else bidding?" On the 30th, this gentleman bid 4,900 yuan, and no one else bid? ”
Tong En looked at the auctioneer in surprise.
"4900 yuan for a ......"
Tong En turned his head to look at Ji Siming, who nodded with a smile.
"4900 yuan twice ......"
Tong En held up the sign in his hand.
"5,000 yuan, No. 19, this lady bid 5,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan once, 5,000 yuan twice, is there anyone else bidding? 5000 yuan three times. 5,000 yuan sold, congratulations to this lady, today's first auction item is yours. ”
With the loud and sonorous sound of the wooden mallet in the auctioneer's hand, Tong En's beautiful face suddenly bloomed with a strange brilliance, and she looked at Ji Siming excitedly, her eyes as clear as the sea flashed with crystal light.
Ji Siming raised his eyebrows and quietly stretched out his thumb.
Tong En couldn't help laughing, the smile was so sweet, so dazzling, pure and without any impurities.
Zhong Yue's gaze never looked away, and the scene just now, like a beautiful scenery, attracted his attention. Tong En's smile and Tong En's clear and beautiful eyes made Zhong Yue feel a sense of déjà vu.
Lin Yinan found that Zhong Yue had been looking at Ji Siming, and said proudly: "What's the matter, I'm not wrong, right?" Isn't it special? ”
Zhong Yue retracted his gaze in shock, glanced at Lin Yinan and said, "It seems that this is the case, it is not the same as the women in his past." ”
"It's not just different, it's very different. Brother Zhong, why do you say Ji Siming is so popular with women? He can cage any kind of woman by his side. Lin Yinan said with a puzzled face.
Zhong Yue turned his head and glared at him, "You don't bother with other people's hearts, what did you do?" ”
"Oh."
Lin Yinan perked up and quickly turned his attention to the auction table.
On the auction table, the auctioneer was introducing a Duan inkstone with a tongue, Lin Yinan picked up the card and saw that it was the number he wanted, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he said in his heart: "I almost delayed the business." As the auctioneer first called out the bid, he hurriedly held up the sign.
Zhong Yue leaned into his ear and said, "Concentrate well, if you mess up, you will work overtime in the office on the weekend." ”
"Yes, Mr. Zhong."
Lin Yinan looked at the front intently, with a bitter gourd on his face.
Zhong Yue leaned back in his chair, his eyes watching the auctioneer's performance, but he couldn't help but recall the scene just now in his mind. That smiling face, those eyes as clear as the sea, swayed in front of me, lingering.
He shook his head, wondering how he had been so distracted today, and he sat up straight and turned his attention to the auction table.
On the auction table, the auctioneer took out the 25th donation of the day, which is a small work of art, a golden model of a sailboat. Zhong Yue's spirits perked up, and he immediately touched Lin Yinan, who had been staring at the auctioneer for a long time, and glanced back at Zhong Yue at this time, with a look of "rest assured".
With the auctioneer's starting price of 5,000 yuan, there was a buzzing commotion in the venue. The price of such a small piece of metal artwork started at 5,000 yuan, which surprised most of the people present.
The auctioneer began to shout.
"A model sailboat made of alloy materials, the starting price is 5,000 yuan, is there anyone bidding?"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yinan raised the sign in his hand with a swish, he looked at Zhong Yue proudly, Zhong Yue nodded with a smile.
"Now there are 38th and 19th bids of 5,000 yuan at the same time, who is willing to increase the price?"
Lin Yinan's eyes suddenly widened as big as copper bells, and he turned his head in surprise to look for the person who made the bid.
Zhong Yue was also a little surprised, at that time, the high price was to prevent someone from bidding, but he didn't expect that someone was really willing to pay a high price to buy an ordinary work of art. He turned his head, his gaze swept over the head of the black press, and stopped at a sign that was raised, No. 19, and held it upright in the hand of the woman beside Ji Siming.
Lin Yinan looked at Zhong Yue with his big mouth open in disbelief, Zhong Yue raised his hand at him quietly, Lin Yinan suddenly sobered up, and quickly raised the sign in his hand.
"No. 38, No. 38 bid 5,200 yuan, are there any bidders?"
Tong En thinks it's funny, there are really people fighting for such an expensive little thing, and it's the sunny boy. She suddenly became childlike and quickly raised the sign.
"The lady on the 19th bid 5,300 yuan."
Before the auctioneer could ask, Lin Yinan had already raised the sign in his hand again.
"No. 38 bid 5,400 yuan."
Tong En also raised the sign again in a hurry.
"No. 19, No. 19 bid 5,500 yuan."
Lin Yinan looked back at Tong En, Tong En also happened to raise his eyes to look here, and smiled at him.
Lin Yinan gritted his teeth, turned around and raised the sign in his hand again.
"No. 38, No. 38 has already reached 5,600 yuan, gentlemen and ladies, is there anything else to bid?" The auctioneer was in no hurry to shout this time.
Tong En hesitated, although it was a very good work of art, it was not worth such a high price after all, so she decided to give up.
Ji Siming saw that Tong En didn't raise the card for a long time, and knew that she didn't want to shoot anymore, so he stretched out his right hand, gently raised Tong En's arm, and said, "6,000 yuan." ”
There was a buzz in the room.
"No. 19, No. 19 has now reached 6,000 yuan, it's really a lovely art treasure, and it's worth 6,000 yuan now, gentlemen and ladies, is there anything to bid?"
Lin Yinan looked at Zhong Yue in disbelief, the expression on Zhong Yue's face did not change at all, and nodded at him. Lin Yinan turned his head and raised the sign in his hand again.
"6,500 yuan."
There was a loud uproar in the venue.
Ji Siming looked up at Zhong Yue, who was not moving, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he felt that this matter was a little interesting. He turned his face to look at Tong En, who was surprised, and said softly with a smile: "Go on." ”
Tong En looked at Ji Siming suspiciously, then looked up at Zhong Yue, who was calm and relaxed, and turned around and raised the sign in his hand.
"7,000 yuan."
"7,000 yuan, the 19th bid is 7,000 yuan, and now it is an increase in the price difference of 500 yuan, ladies and gentlemen, is there anything to bid?"
The auctioneer's mood also began to get excited.
