Ma Xiong looked at it, and immediately smiled: "Haha! Those who know me will also fly! I know that you will not forget to leave it for me!"

In the small box were a pair of large abalones, a large piece of truffle, and an old ginseng with lush roots, because it was taken out of the freezer, so the truffles and abalone in the vacuum bag still exuded a trace of coolness.

"Forget that no one dares to forget you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I know how good you are!"

"Okay!good!" Ma Xiong closed the lid and said, "If you fly, then you're welcome......! These things should be frozen as soon as possible, and I'll go back first! I'll send the money directly to your overseas account!"

"Wait!" Xia Ruofei shouted, "Grandpa Ma, why did you forget what you just said? This little thing is not high for our company, and you have to calculate a few small dollars so clearly? This is a double standard! No, no, no!"

Ma Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Ruofei! I was waiting for me here! But these are two different things, one abalone, truffle, and old ginseng, no matter which one gets to the auction, it is a hot item, I came here in advance to cut off the beard, it is already for you to bear the loss, how can you take it for nothing!"

Xia Ruofei's mouth opened, but Ma Xiong immediately waved his hand to stop him, and took the initiative to say: "That's it! The money must be given, but I won't calculate it with you according to the auction price, I will evaluate a market price......

"It's the cost price!" Xia Ruofei reminded.

"Okay, okay, cost price!" Ma Xiong said with a smile, "I'll evaluate a cost price for you, so that you won't lose money, and I won't take your things for nothing." Don't worry, I'm sure I won't give more, so it's okay!"

"I can't say you!" Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "Just do it!"

Ma Xiong happily picked up the small box and waved goodbye to Xia Ruofei.

Xia Ruofei personally sent Ma Xiong to the door, only to see that Ma Xiong immediately handed the box to Tony after going out, and ordered: "Send it to my car immediately and store it in the refrigerator!"

"Yes, Mr. Ma!" Tony didn't dare to slack off, and rushed away with his suitcase.

Ma Xiong turned his head and smiled and said to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, then I will go back first, let's have breakfast together tomorrow, and then I will accompany you to witness the glory of your Taoyuan company!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Ma!" Xia Ruofei smiled, "You go slowly!"

After sending Ma Xiong away, Xia Ruofei returned to the room to take a bath, and then took out the spirit crystal to cultivate for a while before going to bed to rest.

The next day, Ma Xiong and Ma Zhiming came to the hotel early to have breakfast with Xia Ruofei and his party.

Tian Huixin wanted to send Huanhuan to school, so she didn't come to participate in the auction.

Although there are many servants at home, Tian Huixin basically does everything by herself, such as picking up and dropping off from school, Tian Huixin never hands over things to the maids.

The main reason is that Huanhuan was locked up in a lonely world in the past few years, but now that she has recovered, Tian Huixin feels more and more precious about the time she spends with her daughter.

The auction started at nine o'clock in the morning, and Xia Ruofei came directly to the No. 1 conference hall after breakfast.

Everything was ready, the hotel lobby and the floor where Hall One was located were almost completely renovated, with posters and signage for the auction everywhere, and several screens in the lobby were constantly scrolling with the warm-up video of the auction.

Many guests who came early and media reporters have already begun to sign in.

Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong stood near the entrance of Hall No. 1, greeting familiar guests from time to time.

"Xia Sheng, Wishing you prosperity!"

"Thank you!

"Mr. Xia, I wish you success today!

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Xia Sheng, today's auction is really exciting!

"Thank you! Mr. Zeng, please go inside first!"

......

Xia Ruofei almost kept greeting people, some knew and some didn't, but fortunately, there was a Ma Xiong by his side, whenever someone came over, he would whisper in Xia Ruofei's ear to remind the person's identity, so Xia Ruofei would not be rude.

At this time, a surprised voice sounded: "Mr. Xia!"

Xia Ruofei raised his eyes and couldn't help but show a hint of strangeness - the person who greeted him was called Cheng Xiaoxiao, the fan he met at the corner Western restaurant in Sanshan not long ago, and Cheng Xiaoxiao was the waiter at the corner Western restaurant.

Xia Ruofei didn't expect Cheng Xiaoxiao to appear at the auction, but he soon saw Bastian next to Cheng Xiaoxiao, the manager of the corner Western restaurant, and suddenly realized.

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded at Cheng Xiaoxiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect to meet here!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Mr. Xia, you still remember me!"

Seeing Cheng Xiaoxiao's starry pink appearance, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but cry and laugh.

He said helplessly: "My memory is not going to decline to this point......

"That's not what I meant......," Cheng Xiaoxiao said quickly.

Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and said, "Just kidding! I've never been easy to forget about beautiful women!"

A little teasing of Cheng Xiaoxiao, so that this female iron fan Xia Fei's cheeks, Xia Ruofei turned to Bastian with a smile and said, "Mr. Bastian, meet again!"

Bastian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello Mr. Xia! You still remember my name, it's a great honor!"

"You're here to participate in the auction!" Xia Ruofei asked.

"Of course, the auction of Taoyuan Company is a great event in the food world, and we definitely don't want to miss it!" said Bastian, "I am here to participate in the auction on behalf of the French headquarters of the corner restaurant, and I hope to auction one or two pieces of fine truffles!"

In fact, before Bastian was assigned to Huaxia as a branch manager, he had been working in the buying department of the French headquarters, but the position was not particularly high-level - he also participated in the last Hong Kong Island auction, and he accompanied the purchasing manager at that time.

I met Xia Ruofei at the corner Western restaurant that time, and later heard that Taoyuan Company was going to auction a batch of truffles again, so Bastian tried to report his intersection with Xia Ruofei to the company headquarters.

I didn't expect the French headquarters to pay attention to it.

After research, the purchasing department decided to let Bastian represent the corner restaurant chain to Hong Kong Island to participate in the auction.

In fact, to put it bluntly, although there are many chain branches of the corner Western restaurant, their strength is still a lot worse than those Michelin-starred restaurants and global restaurant groups.

At the last auction on Hong Kong Island, I was lucky enough to get a truffle.

The auction was more publicized and the lots were richer, so it attracted more food and beverage leaders and world-class billionaires to participate.

After evaluation, the French headquarters of the corner Western restaurant chain felt that there was not much chance of winning in this auction, and the purchasing manager just needed to fly to the United States to negotiate a procurement contract, and the time conflicted.

So the headquarters decided to give it a try, and simply let Bastian participate in the auction on behalf of the corner Western restaurant chain - it is a pity not to participate in such a provincial capital of the catering industry, and it is very likely that nothing will be obtained if he participates, so Bastian got this opportunity.

Bastian was also very decisive, and directly brought Cheng Xiaoxiao with him.

The reason why I took Cheng Xiaoxiao is naturally because I hope to have a relationship with Xia Ruofei, Cheng Xiaoxiao, a super fan of Xia Ruofei, can invisibly bring the relationship between the two sides closer.

Bastian knows that this opportunity is very important to him, and if he can make a difference in this auction, then he will have a wide path in the company in the future, and it is estimated that he can be promoted and transferred back to the headquarters after staying in China for a year or two.

Although the food in China made him linger and the life in China was very comfortable, he still missed the days of living in France, and he was always thinking about transferring back as soon as possible.

"Then I wish you good luck!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Seeing that Xia Ruofei was about to end the conversation, Bastian quickly mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Xia, may I ask...... Do you have more truffles for your company, and can you sell some of them to our corner restaurant chain after the auction is over?"

Bastian was a bit presumptuous.

But he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might not have a chance to contact Xia Ruofei until the end of the auction, so he gritted his teeth and asked.

Xia Ruofei had already decided to sell all the remaining truffles of this season to the Black family, and just when he was about to politely refuse, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao on the side also looking at him with anticipation.

Before leaving, Bastian told Cheng Xiaoxiao that if he could help him get closer to Xia Ruofei, and then make some gains in this auction, then he would be promoted and raised after he went back.

Even though Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted the opportunity for promotion and salary increase very much, she did not open her mouth to ask Xia Ruofei.

In her eyes, Xia Ruofei is the kind of perfect idol, if the idol is unwilling, she will definitely not ask for anything again.

Xia Ruofei said secretly: That's it, just give the fans a face! Anyway, it's sold to anyone, and I didn't promise Old Black that I must empty all the inventory for them......

He didn't sign a paper agreement with Old Black, and the verbal agreement was no less than fifty kilograms, and the truffles left by Xia Ruofei added up to at least seventy or eighty kilograms, and it was sold to a part of the corner Western restaurant, which had no impact at all.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei said lightly: "Mr. Bastian, you better concentrate on participating in the auction first! Maybe you can get your favorite truffles!"

Xia Ruofei This is a more euphemistic statement, in fact, those truffles taken out for auction, how can Bastian not like them? Isn't the key still a matter of money? The financial resources of the corner Western restaurant chain cannot be compared with those big groups and rich people, and in the environment of the auction, the more money there is, the louder the voice, the most they can do is pick up the leaks, and there is great uncertainty.

Just when Bastian felt very disappointed, Xia Ruofei changed his words and said, "If you really don't get anything at the auction, then I can consider selling some truffles to you!"

Bastian had a feeling of being a village, and said happily: "Great! Mr. Xia! Thank you!"

Xia Ruofei said: "You're welcome, Xiaoxiao is my fan, I will still give this little face." But don't expect too much, the remaining truffles, although of the same high quality, are not much left. ”

"Just have it!" Bastian hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao on the side was even more happy with tears in her eyes, where to find such an idol for the sake of fans?

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Cheng Xiaoxiao said with a little choked up.

Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "No, you guys go in quickly! Remember to go to the staff to exchange for a sign with the receipt of the auction deposit!"

After Cheng Xiaoxiao and Bastian walked into the venue, someone immediately came over to say hello - the other party had actually arrived a long time ago, but Xia Ruofei had been talking to Bastian and Cheng Xiaoxiao, so he had been waiting on the side.

It wasn't until Bastian and Cheng Xiaoxiao left that the big-nosed and yellow-haired Westerner stepped forward and said in English: "Hello Mr. Xia! I am James, president of the Greater China Region of the Surbana Group of the United States! Mr. Tang He, chairman of our group, asked me to greet you on his behalf!"

"It turned out to be Mr. James, fortunately, I will be lucky!" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Mr. Tang is okay?"

"The chairman is very good, but he happened to have an important business negotiation that conflicted with the time of the auction, so he sent me to represent him!" James said, "For this, the chairman also made me apologize to you!"

"No, no, no, if you can send someone, it's to give me face!" Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. James, please also help me say hello to Mr. Tang!"

"Okay, I'll definitely bring the words here!" James said, "Mr. Xia, then I'll go in first, don't bother you!"

"Okay, I wish you good luck at the auction first!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your blessings!" James said politely, and then nodded slightly to Ma Xiong beside Xia Ruofei, and then walked into the No. 1 conference hall.

Ma Xiong said with a smile: "Ruofei, your popularity is really good! Mr. Tang of Shengbang Group actually attaches so much importance to you!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Tang and I can be regarded as forgetful friends! And we have a cooperative farm project in Australia." ”

"I've heard about fairyland farms!" Ma Xiong said, "It is said that the development momentum of that farm is very good, it was originally just a random investment by Mr. Tang, but I didn't expect it to succeed all of a sudden!

"Grandpa Ma, don't kill me again, how can I have any ability?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "The specific things are all done by the people below, in fact, I am the easiest one in the company!"

While the two were chatting in a whisper, another person came to the door of Conference Hall 1, surrounded by his entourage.
