Chapter III

It was close to eleven o'clock when Wen Zhen got home.

For almost the whole day, she was in a highly tense state, and the first time she pushed open the door, Wen Zhen first bypassed the suitcase stacked at the entrance, took off her high heels, and the whole person was relieved in this second.

From the shower to remove makeup, bath, skin care and the whole process of it's 0:00 o'clock.

Putting on a silk suspender nightdress, she threw herself directly into the soft bed, the mobile phone on the bedside table had been charged and turned on, and only one floor lamp was turned on in the drowsy room.

Her eyelids were sleepy to the limit, Wen Zhen blinked, and in the dim light, she seemed to be back in the sparse air, and the man's Qi Qin eyes grabbed her and asked her for a reward.

Wen Zhen sighed softly, closed his eyes to dispel the man's face, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next day, the sky was clear outside the window.

After a good night's sleep after a long absence, after getting up and washing, Wen Zhen turned on her mobile phone to see the time, after eleven o'clock at noon, there was a series of unread messages, sweeping the names of the contacts in that row, she first replied to the messages of the theater dance troupe, and then briefly replied to them one by one.

Wen Zhen turned his eyes to the room, and then remembered the floor lamp that had not been turned off all night.

Turned off the light and lay on the bed, thinking of the Gulf Cruise Charity Auction mentioned by Yan Chaoyu again, and seeing the Wen family again tonight, she couldn't help but sigh.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Zhen drove to a private dress custom hall dedicated to her, which was founded by Wen Zhen when she was sixteen years old, and was founded by Grandpa Wen for her, which was exclusive to Wen Zhen, so even the name of the store was named after her-

【Ruzhen】

Such as treasure [Zhen] like treasure.

Park the car and take the elevator all the way to the third floor, with the 'ding' sound of the elevator door, Wen Zhen's eyes collided with a black shadow that left in a hurry, the back was very unfamiliar, and she frowned subconsciously.

The store supervisor has stepped forward.

Wen Zhen called Sister Shengling, smiled and walked into the store with her.

"Are you going to a dinner party at the mouth of the bay tonight?" Director Tang Ling asked familiarly.

Hearing this, Wen Zhen was slightly stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, please ask Sister Ling to help me choose a suitable dress." ”

"RA has a private customization, I looked at the design drawings and thought it was very suitable for you, just you can try it," Tang Ling smiled, and asked again: "By the way, Kitty came back from vacation today, or let her do your makeup tonight?" ”

In the past, when attending important occasions, it was arranged like this, and Wen Zhen naturally had no objection, "Yes." ”

Passing through a long corridor and arriving at the main hall, the curtain automatically and slowly opened, and a rhinestone white gauze long skirt came into view, the light and shadow of each diamond were tempered and streamered, and the skirt was dominated by a slender rhombic grid, giving people a sense of coldness and purity.

"Try it." Tang Ling looked back and raised her eyebrows.

The skirt is not heavy, just reaching the ankle, and it is suitable for pairing with silver heels.

After Wen Zhen put it on, Tang Ling simply tidied up the skirt for her, the lights in the dress hall were not fully turned on, and in the mirror, there were many hidden details of this skirt, for example, the shoulder straps of the skirt were connected with diamonds, outlining her pair of delicate and slender collarbones, and the tulle at the rhombic grid showed the woman's graceful posture loomingly, just right.

Every cut is perfect.

"It is said that people rely on clothes, Miss Wen, I think you are more clothes."

A sassy female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The two looked back in unison, only to see a fashionable girl with neat short hair and oversize style smiling at Wen Zhen.

Kitty stepped forward, naturally touched Wen Zhen's face, and joked, "Let's go, let me add something to you." ”

"Kitty, don't flirt with Zhenzhen, lest your little girlfriend be jealous."

"Don't talk nonsense, Ha Lingzi is a little sister." Kitty glanced over.

"What's the situation again?" Wen Zhen glanced at her.

Kitty smiled helplessly and whispered to her.

After Tang Ling accompanied Wen Zhen to try on the dress, she went back to the sofa in the office to continue to be busy, performing her own duties, Kitty and Wen Zhen walked to the dressing room with a smile.

When passing by the second locker room, Wen Zhen's eyes paused for a moment, and then quickly retracted.

After trying on the dress, and then putting on the complete makeup, it was already half past six in the evening, and the time of the cruise auction was nine o'clock in the evening, Wen Zhen was thinking about whether to call the Wen family's driver, after all, we were going to meet tonight.

Kitty ordered takeout and handed Wen Zhen a glass of lemonade with a straw inserted.

"Let's take a pat first."

Wen Zhen glanced at her with a smile, and as soon as she said that she was careful, the mobile phone on the dressing table rang.

The caller is an unfamiliar number, and the place of belonging is the capital, so the caller is naturally self-evident.

Kitty seemed to have something to say to her, but at the moment she looked at her and she consciously withdrew.

After pressing it to connect, the voice on the other end of the phone quickly fell to her ear, as if an electric current was passing in a flash, and the woman's long eyelashes in the mirror fluttered.

"Hey, Miss Wen."

Wen Zhen was stunned for a second with a relentless voice, "Adong? ”

"Why do you hear that it's me, you still have a little regret?" Yi Dong teased, and the conversation turned back to the topic: "By the way, I'm back, by the way, tonight's auction in the bay, you can go with me." ”

Yi Dong is Wen Zhen's cousin and grandson of Old Man Wen.

Wen Zhen was still hesitant to get through to the Wen family's phone, Yi Dong's sudden attack directly made her save everything, and she didn't have to think about how to deal with the Wen family, and this kid's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and almost no one in the Wen family dared to provoke him.

So she went with the flow.

At 7:40 p.m., Yi Dong's car arrived on time, which was one of the few very regular business vehicles he had.

At night, Lancheng is as bright as ever.

When we got to the bay, it was exactly 8:40, a full hour's drive.

After getting off the car, Wen Zhen grabbed Yi Dong's arm, and the two got on the cruise ship under the waiter's answer.

The magnitude of this auction can be seen only from the eight-story duplex cruise ship in front of you.

At a glance, it is estimated that the cost will be hundreds of millions of dollars, and there are only a handful of people in Lancheng who spend such a large amount.

Walk through the corridor and enter the main ballroom under the guidance of the waiters, where the concierges standing around them bow and greet each other.

Yi Dong glanced at the surrounding furnishings, and although he had been to countless banquets like this, he couldn't help but whisper to Wen Zhen: "This is really big enough, I have to see it tonight." ”

Under the colorful lights, it is full of fragrant clothes and sideburns and cups, a proper luxury Vanity Fair.

Wen Zhen swept around lightly, "Let's go, find a place." ”

Yi Dong bowed his head and walked to the place on the invitation letter and sat down.

At 8:50 in the evening, the surrounding places were full, Wen Zhen brushed his ear hair, and just raised his eyelashes when he heard a female voice following behind him.

This voice sounded familiar, and Wen Zhen couldn't help but glance sideways.

The two lines of sight suddenly intertwined, and they invariably stayed on each other.

"Sister?"

"Xiao Yue." Wen Zhen and his chin.

"Adong, you're here too." Wen Yue's gaze swept over the young man beside her, and greeted her with a smile.

Wen Yue is the only daughter of the uncle, three months younger than Wen Zhen and two years older than Yi Dong.

She thought that she would meet the Wen family later, but she didn't expect to collide with Wen Yue now.

Wen Zhen swept over the haute couture dress on Wen Yue's body, and suddenly flashed in front of her eyes the locker room that Ruzhen had obviously used.

In fact, Wen Zhen has never asked about the display and use of Ruzhen's dress, but this one, when she attended the castle manor dinner a week ago, she tried it, but in the end she chose a black velvet dress, so she remembered it clearly.

She suddenly understood that Kitty wanted to stop talking today, but Wen Yue wore this outfit to match.

After only one more glance, Wen Zhen smiled and withdrew his gaze.

The auction ceremony on the stage has begun, Wen Zhen took the cup handed by Yi Dong and folded the shawl.

Then I looked around the venue without a trace, but I didn't find the clear figure, thinking that the one would either appear on the heavyweight lot tonight, or hide in the mountains, watching the stage play a chess game.

didn't find Yan Chaoyu, but Wen Zhen learned about the background of the few people sitting around them through Yi Dong.

The auction in the venue has reached the tenth piece, and the rich lady in front has just auctioned a Doucai Nine Dragon Moire amphora in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty at a price of 23 million, and the atmosphere of the whole audience is setting off to a certain climax.

Wen Zhen applauded, her eyes accurately catching a tall figure at the entrance of the hall, and she glanced at it lightly, "Ah Dong, it's time for tonight's turn next, right?" ”

"Should it be?" Yi Dongzheng turned off his mobile phone boredly, and pictures of the auction immediately appeared on the big screen in front of him, and then, the audience fell silent for a moment, and the lights were cast on the stage, and a foreign media in the audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next is our eleventh lot, the Star of Red Tears, from Argyle, approximately 60 carats, and the Star of Red Tears is currently one of the purest and most saturated red diamonds in the world...... Please note that everything is sold under the guarantee of authenticity, and on this basis, the auction price of each lot will be combined with the indirect premium and offset premium......"

After a lengthy introduction, the auctioneer quoted: "We are starting tonight's ceremony of the Red Tear Star, and the starting price of our gorgeous Red Tear Star diamond ring is 40 million. ”

As soon as the words fell, the women next to the rich lady in the front row raised their bidding signs.

"Fifty million!"

"Fifty-five million!"

"Sixty million!"

Wen Zhen's gaze was fixed on the man in the front row, and seeing him sitting in his position with a calm expression, Wen Zhen then raised the bidding card.

The auctioneer looked at her and shouted, "Eighty million!" ”

Suddenly, everyone turned their eyes to Wen Zhen's direction.

Many people in the Lancheng circle have seen her, and a few daughters in the front row hesitated for a few seconds and chose to give up, and only her brand was left on the field.

The auctioneer raised his voice again: "Eighty million once!" ”

"Eighty million for the second time!"

Yi Dong relieved himself and looked sideways at his cousin, his eyes were full of admiration, "It's not sister, you want to buy this?" Don't you like these very much? ”

Wen Zhen glanced at him noncommittally, "Dong Zai, no woman can refuse diamonds, and I can't be exempt from vulgarity." ”

"OK, if you don't have enough money, I'll post it for you."

When the auctioneer was about to shout for the third time, there was another noise behind him, only to hear the auctioneer turn his head and shout: "Eighty-five million!" This young lady bid 85 million! ”

"No, who's against my sister—"

Yi Dong's eyes turned back unhappily, and his voice stopped abruptly, "Why is she ...... again?"

"What's wrong?"

Wen Zhen looked back, and threw an apologetic smile at Shang Wen Yue.

For a while, the scene returned to the craze, and the two sisters of the Wen family openly competed for diamonds, which made people laugh and talk about it.

The bright lights in the hall were flickering, and Wen Zhen only stayed for two seconds, then brushed the hair on his shoulders, smiled, and gestured towards the auctioneer.

"100 million! Miss Wen offered 100 million! ”

The original 40 million red diamonds were raised so much for a while, and it was not worth it if they raised it again, but these two saw that their arrogance had not subsided, and several daughters who had given up the auction because of Wen Zhen's bid also sighed.

"100 million."

"This Miss Wen is such a big deal."

"I heard that Old Man Wen loved this one the most during his lifetime, and he wants to have a rich inheritance in his hand."

"But what kind of coaxing is this second lady of the Wen family?"

"The relationship between the Wen family is not compatible, and at this juncture, this Miss Wen will inevitably provoke the fire."

Wen Yue clenched the bidding card in his hand and raised the price again.

After several rounds in a row, the price of the red diamond had reached 120 million, Wen Zhen couldn't help but want to laugh, she looked back at the stiff smile on Wen Yue's face, and didn't intend to continue to entangle with her, her eyes looked at the auctioneer indifferently, and then gestured.

"150 million!"

As soon as the bidding came out, it couldn't help but cause the audience to sigh, Wen Yue's face was difficult to see for a moment, and the bidding card in his hand couldn't be put down or picked up for a while, and he was in a dilemma, while the auctioneer on the field was still shouting.

"One hundred and fifty million once, one hundred and fifty million twice!"

For the last time, Wen Yuexin fell to the bottom, and the auctioneer's final shout sounded in his ears: "150 million for the last time!" Deal! Let's congratulate Miss Wen Zhen! ”

Countless lights hit Wen Zhen's position, and there is no doubt that she has become the focus of the audience tonight.

In the corner of the door of the banquet hall, a lonely and tall figure stood outside the hustle and bustle, and the male assistant next to him bowed down and handed him a copy of the information about the auction in his hand.

"Mr. Yan, this is the relevant information about the Red Tears Star, as well as some details about the Wen family that have been collected recently."

Yan Chaoyu slowly bowed his head, the lights here were dim, his expression was inconspicuous, and his eyes grabbed the white slender figure in the front row impartially.

"Then do you need to go and say hello to Lan Yu's Mr. Jin?" The assistant asked respectfully.

"No, he knows what to do."

The assistant understood this, so he listened to the man's instructions again: "You can start preparing for the project in the bay, the Wen family is very suitable." ”

"But Mr. Yan ...... We didn't just -- "

Before he finished speaking, a cold gaze struck like a blade, Yan Chaoyu tilted his head slightly, the arc was extremely slight, and the slender knuckles loosened the tie that was bound around his neck.

The assistant's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to whisper, and then left the banquet hall after him.

"Xiaoyue, thank you for your willingness to cut love, next time if you like something, tell me directly, it will be a gift from your sister." Wen Zhen pressed the shawl in front of him with one hand, leaned over and half-hugged Wen Yue, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

“…… "Wen Yue's eyelids jumped suddenly, but he still had to maintain a decent smile," "it should be...... Congratulations to my sister. ”

"You're welcome, by the way, Xiaoyue, your dress today is very beautiful, and it matches you very well."

Seeing Wen Yue's face pale, Wen Zhen didn't wait for her answer and left his position.

There was a lot of whispering all around.

When I left the venue, it was close to 10 o'clock in the evening.

Wen Zhen deliberately supported Yi Dong, and the sharp dark blue figure soon appeared at the door of the banquet hall, the cruise ship was traveling around the city, the sea breeze blew through the woman's skirt, and the position of the skirt slit when she stepped was just right to outline the woman's slender legs.

Taking the wine cup from the waiter, Wen Zhen walked over to the man and handed over a glass.

"Mr. Jin, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to have a drink?"

"The star of red tears just now, Miss Wen is very generous." Jin Xiangdong took the wine cup and said with a smile.

"If I say that the Red Tear Star is a gift to you, I wonder if this sincerity can enter your eyes?"

Jin Xiangdong's eyes paused slightly, and he looked at the girl in front of him for a moment, and he asked rhetorically: "If I remember correctly, we met for the first time tonight, why Miss Wen?" Most Hong Kong people have a certain habit of speaking, and he gestured to look at Wen Zhen.

Wen Zhen raised the wine cup slightly, took a sip, and replied slowly: "It's very simple, Lan Yu's recent overseas projects, I hope you can give it a chance." ”

"Miss Wen, didn't Mr. Wen tell you? For this medical device project, we plan to cooperate with Bolin, so why bother with Miss Wen. ”

"But Mr. Jin has more than one medical device in his hand, and the object of cooperation does not necessarily have to be Bolin, if it is a choice - Yan's, I don't know what Mr. Jin wants?"

The wine rolling through his throat seemed to be stuck, and Jin Xiangdong's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he looked at the girl in disbelief.

As everyone knows, in front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the cruise ship, a clear and upright figure is overlooking everything.

Yan Chaoyu lit an agarwood cigarette, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the mist, and the slender figure in the corridor had already staggered past the man.

Counting the time, when the cigarette burned out, the doorbell rang on time, Yan Chaoyu looked at the closed door unhurriedly, and his originally dark eyes were unconsciously plated with a light smile, and he motioned to the assistant on the side to retreat first.

The assistant bowed respectfully after understanding, opened the door, and saw the woman standing outside the door, the assistant's eyes crossed a trace of understanding, but he bowed his head and called Miss Shengwen, and left quickly.

Yan Chaoyu only wore a thin black shirt, and there was no wrinkle on her straight suit pants, and when she saw her standing at that end, she had to take the initiative to send troops and walk towards Wen Zhen.

His gaze wandered unabashedly over Wen Zhen, the broken diamonds of her white dress flickering in the dim light of the room, and she stood in the hallway, like a goddess who could not be blasphemed.

Glazing over her bare-naked white arms, Yan Chaoyu subconsciously brows slightly folded, "Is it cold standing in the tuyere?" ”

In the dim environment, the man's voice was low, but a simple sentence invisibly entangled people's hearts trembling from alcohol, causing darkness to flow.

As the distance fades away, the tobacco collides with the smell of spirits.

Seeing her figure take half a step back, Yan Chaoyu stretched out his hand and dragged her forward, his breathing staggered, and the two hot currents became more and more intensely entangled.

"Tonight, Lan Yu's contract is in return, I wonder if Yan will still be satisfied?" Wen Zhen's eyes are full of tenderness.

The wine threads are clinging around the heart, and the eyes are intertwined.

Yan Chaoyu smiled deeply, those dark blue pupils were particularly intimidating, like the sea outside the polar window, but whenever they looked at each other, they had the ability to fascinate people at a glance and indulge.

He punned on it, "Miss Wen seems to be very happy tonight. ”
