Chapter 235: Invitation to the Auction.
"Miss Ruan, Mr. Ji. Counting the last coincidence, this is the second time we have met, and it is quite fateful to say it. I didn't do anything, but I did a little favor casually, and it doesn't matter if I am paid or not, is it okay to make a friend? ”
Nguyen opened a private room at the Peninsula restaurant and brought gifts to thank Hun Sen.
Of course, she would not be naïve to think that Hun Sen personally went out and was only worth tens of thousands of yuan, so the red paper bag she handed over at the beginning contained a total of 500,000.
In Hong Kong City, especially in the seventies and eighties, gang associations can never be bypassed, and it is naturally the most convenient way to build a good relationship with money.
Ruan Jiaojiao and Ji Huai'an guessed that Hun Sen would not ask for money from the beginning, she smiled, handed the small gift bag on the table to Steward Xu, and took a larger gift bag from Charlie's butler.
"Yesterday I went shopping and bought some gadgets, since we are friends, I can't help but receive New Year's gifts, maybe you will like it?"
The top of the bag was sealed with a piece of tape, and Hun Sen used his fingers to pick open the edge and look inside, pausing.
Then he raised his head, with a faint excitement in his eyes, "I like it!" From now on, the matter of Miss Nguyen and Mr. Ji is my Hun Sen! Where you need to use me, just ask! ”
After he finished speaking, he toasted the two of them with tea instead of wine.
"They are all friends, so you don't need to tell you to tell you or not. If you need help, we won't be polite to you. I have already booked this room, everyone eats and drinks well, if time does not allow, you can also pack it back. After all, it's not bad to add a few dishes to your home during the Chinese New Year. ”
Ruan Jiaojiao and Ji Huai'an exchanged a few words and left the box.
As for what's in that bag?
It's an alloy model toy I bought at the night market last night.
Hun Sen is a smart man, and of course he understands what Nguyen Jiaojiao means.
He has been hiding his son, in addition to being afraid of the enemy's revenge, he also wants to improve the lintel, he is black, but he doesn't want his son to be contaminated with these.
With Ruan Jiaojiao's blessing, presumably his son's future life will be smoother and smoother.
……
The rookie trio were sent directly to the hospital after getting into the car, and they all had injuries of varying degrees and needed to be recuperated, so Ruan Jiaojiao was not in a hurry to see them after the task was completed.
After letting Charlie's housekeeper buy a few sets of elevator rooms that could be moved in with bags to settle Ye Lin's family, she basically stopped asking about the hospital's manpower, but Ye Lin went abroad to visit the original school to find suitable alumni.
On the evening of the second day of junior high school, the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by Gangcheng TV was very different, and it was organized together with Yangcheng TV.
Because of the opening, the connection between Yangcheng and Gangcheng is also much closer, and the linkage between the two places has made many families feel very surprised, after all, many people in Gangcheng are from Yangcheng on the other side.
In the third year of junior high school, the Fu family actually sent a gilded invitation, inviting Ruan Jiaojiao to attend the birthday banquet of the Fu family and grandson in the eighth year of junior high school.
The venue of the banquet was the Fu family's mansion in the middle of the levels, which was different from the small fight in the middle of the mountain, which meant that the Fu family attached great importance to it, and there should be something important to announce.
In order to show the sincerity of the Fu family's invitation to Ruan Jiaojiao, the invitation was sent by Lin Shuying, the mother of the "eldest grandson".
Ji Huai'an was analyzing the newspaper in the bedroom at the time, so the two did not touch it.
Lin Shuying and Ruan Jiaojiao exchanged a few words, and then left in a hurry, ready to send an invitation to the Lu family.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the word "eldest grandson" on the invitation card and smiled inexplicably.
The third day of the new year seems to be extremely busy, in the morning it is the Fu family who sends invitations, and in the afternoon, it is the invitation sent by the auction.
Sotheby's spring auction is held on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the invitation is accompanied by an auction booklet with photographs and descriptions of the lots.
The spring auction will feature dozens of lots, half of which are porcelain, and the rest are jewelry, paintings, wood carvings and two bronzes.
Ruan Jiaojiao originally just glanced at it casually, and if she had something she liked, she would participate, and if she didn't, she wouldn't go.
She can't appreciate the works of art such as antique porcelain, and it is too boring to spend a lot of time sitting stupidly listening to introductions and watching people hold signs.
"Yuan Dynasty blue and white glaze red hollow lid jar"
This is a national treasure!
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the big belly jar with a small lid on the album, and immediately asked Charlie's housekeeper to call Su Fubi back.
If she wants to participate, she has to go through some processes, such as telling her favorite lot over there, and then checking the capital.
Because it is the spring auction of the port city, these auction items are basically the things of the Xia Kingdom, which is in line with the preferences of the wealthy merchants in the port city.
In addition to the large blue and white jars of the Yuan Dynasty, there are also many porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as a beast pattern square Yi (yí) from the Shang Dynasty and a piece of treasure Yi 簋 (yí gUǐ) from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"Fang Yi" in ancient times refers to a bronze wine container, and "Yi" represents bronze.
The "Zuo Bao Yi Gui" in "Zuo Bao Yi Gui" is mostly used for sacrifices, referring to bronze ritual vessels, "Gui" is a container for food, and the shape of Zuo Bao Yi Gui resembles a small incense burner.
Ruan Jiaojiao ticked off the album with a pen, including these two bronzes, and ticked at least 50 lots, accounting for more than half of the total lots.
The main thing is that she thought about it, considering that the house in Repulse Bay still has a lot of ornaments, and the bottles and cans can be bought back to decorate.
Sotheby's auction will be held in preview on the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year.
Ruan Jiaojiao went out with Ji Huai'an for a whole day in the fourth year of junior high school, mainly climbing mountains and watching the sea, and went to Ocean Park again.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when the stock exchange opened, Ji Huaian went out with his thick notebook, and Ruan Jiaojiao was planning New Year's gifts for each family all morning.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is a visit between friends, and the New Year's gifts prepared by Ruan Jiaojiao are not very valuable, most of them are dry snacks.
In addition to sending it to the Tang family, the Guan family and other families that Ruan Jiaojiao knew, of course, she didn't forget to ask Charlie Butler to personally send it to the Governor Michael's family.
On the first day of Ruan Jiaojiao's arrival in Hong Kong City, Charlie's housekeeper came to the door to deliver gifts, in order to express her gratitude to Mr. Mack.
This is the second time.
Of course, Ruan Jiaojiao herself is not going.
Maintaining politeness and climbing relationships are two different things, and there is only a shallow friendship between Grandpa Ruan and Mr. Mike, and it is best to keep a distance that is not far away.
At noon, Tang Sijia came to the door with a large group of people, in addition to giving New Year's gifts, but also to rub rice.
The Tang family, the Kuang family, their good friends, He Tianyou and the He family, who signed a contract with Ruan Jiaojiao, and the obedient boy Liam were all not empty-handed, and they brought full New Year's gifts, piling up the originally spacious living room of the suite to look extremely crowded.
