Chapter 163

An Lan pretended to be wandering casually, until she stopped at the door of a room, and a voice came from the headset.

[Miss, don't move!right here! ]
Hearing Lin Youyi's ear-piercing shout, An Lan paused and stopped, then Lin Youyi continued: [Go a little bit to the right. ]
An Lan obediently moved to the right.

[It’s ok, I can’t see it now. ]
After many trials under Lin Youyi's command, An Lan finally determined the area that the camera could not capture. Afraid of being suspected by the security room staring at the captured picture, An Lan left quickly. After all, she is always here. Sneaky isn't great either.

Just when she came out of the corridor, An Lan saw Lin Xi who was standing by the side looking for her. She walked forward slowly, and Lin Xi happened to see her too, and when she approached, he handed her the juice in his hand.

An Lan took it and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I went to the bathroom just now."

Then, An Lan pointed to the side: "Let's go and sit there."

"Okay." Lin Qi responded, and then followed An Lan to the sofa next to him.

The two sat in the corner and no one was paying attention, An Lan looked at the door boredly, waiting for Duanmu Ming to appear.

It's embarrassing for her to be alone with Lin Xi, she would be awkward even for a socially ill person, it shows how Lin Xi doesn't know how to read the atmosphere.

If it wasn't because she wanted to help or take the initiative to speak, Lin Xi would probably not make a sound. Lin Xi is very calm, and keeping silent is a daily routine for him. He thinks it may be nothing, but in The embarrassment in the eyes of others wanted to flee immediately.

A few days ago, Lin Youyi notified himself that Miss Kurosawa was already in place, and the news of Miss Kurosawa's arrest also reached Duanmu Ming's ears, but the method was very casual, because the two officials in Nangong Ming's office had no intention of mentioned.

After waiting for about 7 minutes, An Lan finally saw bodyguards standing spontaneously in two rows outside the door. An old man about 60 years old with a cane came slowly, and beside him was a young and beautiful woman who carefully supported him. .

His arrival changed the atmosphere in the banquet hall. Since ancient times, business and government were not separated, and the people in the banquet hall came forward to greet him graciously.

Duanmuming responded with a smile on his face. At this moment, the music in the banquet hall rang.

The musicians played classical instruments, and the beautiful sound filled the entire banquet hall.

In order not to let people find out, An Lan looked at the musicians who were playing, pretending that she was enjoying the performance.

Duanmu Ming has just come in, there are so many people who greet him, it is impossible to find an opportunity now, the banquet will be held for a long time, the most important thing for her now is patience.

An Lan was enjoying the music when a black shadow came over her. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at Lin Qi who was standing in front of him.

Lin Qi stretched out one hand and put the other behind his back, saluting gracefully, he raised his eyes to look at An Lan, his eyes were indifferent, glowing with brilliance: "Miss An, can I ask you to dance? "

An Lan didn't react immediately, but was stunned.

She looked at Lin Xi in disbelief, and repeatedly confirmed that she was not mistaken, this person was indeed Lin Xi.

She really wanted to ask Lin Xi if he had taken the wrong medicine or was possessed by an evil spirit, so he would speak on his own initiative, and still speak so surprisingly?It's normal for others, but it's weird for Lin Xi to act like this. Although An Lan was puzzled, how could she embarrass this cheap brother.

"Of course." She stood up and gently placed her hands on Lin Xi's knuckles.

An Lan was facing Lin Qi, so naturally she wouldn't see the Patriarch of the Lin family who was not far behind her frantically winking at his son who was not enlightened. It can be seen that they have been plotting for a long time, and Lin Xi is just following through.

An Lan didn't think much about it. In the social circle, dancing with anyone is just a kind of friendly interaction between nobles, but obviously, Lin Changchi thought a lot.

In the corner of the banquet hall, even the married women still looked there, for no other reason than the two patriarchs of the four great noble families standing there.

One is Lin Changchi, the head of the Lin family, and the other is An Changxiu, the head of the An family.

Although the two patriarchs are married and their children are not young, it is still worthwhile for women in the social circle to invest in scheming.

In the second year An Changxiu Mingmei was married to the third lady of the Lin family, a woman got drunk and climbed into his bed through him. The next morning, An Changxiu fired this daring woman and took revenge. In the second year, An Changxiu sent someone to get rid of her quietly.

This story is a secret in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Lin Changchi, it is an old story, so Lin Changchi is very friendly to this person who betrayed his third sister, even if the old man of the Lin family doesn't like it. On An Changxiu's shoulders.

"Patriarch An, what do you think of our Lin Qi?"

An Changxiu blocked his hand, showing displeasure: "Stop thinking about my daughter."

"How can we say that our two families are also relatives. Wouldn't it be good to be closer? Don't you think so, brother-in-law." Lin Changchi climbed up the relationship.

But An Changxiu didn't appreciate it. He stared at someone on the dance floor and his eyes gradually became dark. After a pause, he said slowly, "Your son is not good enough for my daughter."

After that, he left without expression, leaving only Lin Changchi who was not surprised by his answer.

Children of big families usually get engaged very early, most commonly when they are adults, get engaged and get married at 22 years old, this has become an iron rule in the aristocratic circle.

Logically speaking, the marriage of big families will be useful to both families, and the marriage is usually decided by the parents, but the children of noble families are usually sent to the silver medal noble school, which also led to some children getting to know each other in advance. There will not be too much conflict when marrying.

Lin Changchi thought about it for a long time, and thought that the Patriarch of the An family was too picky and dissatisfied with his son, but after thinking about it carefully, his son has temperament, status, family background, talent, and his appearance has been inherited from him. She took the initiative to invite An's daughter, so she shouldn't be able to find anything wrong with her.

What else is An Changxiu dissatisfied with?
Lin Changchi suddenly thought of something.

"Master An, do you plan to never marry your daughter in this life? This child is almost an adult, and the An family has a big business. There must be many people waiting to take advantage of it. Our Lin family is right with your An family. Remember to marry your daughter first Consider our family, marry in and be protected by our old man, your daughter will not be wronged..." Lin Changchi said louder and louder.

But An Changxiu has gone far.

The music in the banquet hall changed from song to song. An Lan sat on the sofa and waited for a long time until a gentleman came to announce the start of the auction loudly. An Lan got up and followed the crowd to the auction. The scene is gone.

Not everyone has the privilege to go to the auction. Only a few invited families who have a cooperative relationship with Duanmu Ming can participate. Although the An family did not cooperate with Duanmu Ming, they are also on the invitation list because of their family status.

The location of the auction is very close to the banquet hall, just around the corner.

Entering inside, the lights are very dim, and the only thing that is on is the lights on the field. The lights are scattered in a circular shape, just shining on the collection wrapped in red cloth.

Duanmu Ming sat at the farthest position, and there were four bodyguards beside him.

An Lan also found a place where she could see her and sat down. After the host explained, a woman in a red dress stepped forward and pulled the red cloth away under the expectant eyes of everyone.

Under the illumination of the light, a porcelain appeared from under the red cloth. It was a porcelain plate engraved with irises. It was exquisite, luxurious and colorful, and it was a typical European porcelain.

"This is a collection treasured by Queen Elizabeth. It is one of the dowries that Princess Aisha married Prince Charles in the 100th century. It was made by the top craftsmen in the royal family. It was considered the top crafts at that time. The starting price is [-]. Wan, start the auction!"

The host shouted, and the people sitting in the audience began to bid.

Each bidding price will increase by [-].

A woman raised a sign, and the host shouted: "Miss Shen, 110 million!"

Although this is a handicraft of a century, and it is a wedding gift of a princess of a small country, but this princess is not famous enough, at least there is no trace of her in the history books. If this work of art has not been collected by Queen Elizabeth, then it It can't reach the price of 100 million.

There were very few bidders in the auction, and it stayed at 200 million. When the host called out to 200 million once, An Lan held up the sign under Lin Xi's surprised eyes.

The host looked at her, paused for a moment, and then shouted, "Miss An, 210 million! Anyone else want to bid?"

The host put the hammer in front of the bell: "One time for 210 million, two times for 210 million..., three times for 210 million! Congratulations to Ms. An for capturing the No. [-] collection!"

With the finalization of the host, there was sparse applause at the scene.

Although Lin Xi didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions, but the Lin family's parents sitting behind were not so calm.

"Does your daughter like porcelain?" Lin Changchi dragged his chin, but An Changxiu didn't answer his question, but just looked ahead calmly.

They would not be ignorant of the significance of taking pictures of the collection. It was to bribe Duanmu Ming in disguise, but in Lin Changchi's view, An Lan must have bought it because he liked the collection. In fact, An Lan thought the same as the collectors present.

The quickest way to get Duanmu Ming's attention is to take pictures of all the collections.

Soon, the second collection was brought out, which was a dark brown Ganoderma lucidum, which looked very good, and the starting price was 300 million.

People in the audience started bidding one after another, and An Lan raised the sign many times without hesitation.

"Ms. An once for 530 million, twice for 530 million, and three times for 530 million! Congratulations, Ms. An, for getting the No. [-] collection!"

When the collection was photographed for the first time, there was nothing wrong with it. When the second photograph was taken, some people had already turned their heads to look in her direction, and An Lan, who was in the middle of their eyes, remained calm.

How could she not be able to get out tens of millions of dollars after she has been around for so long? Don’t worry about the money, anyway, Uda Media will pay out all the money, and Uda Media has Lin Youyi behind it. Possibly bankrupt.

The auction took out the third collection, with a starting price of 500 million, and An Lan took the lead in raising the sign again.

"Sold for 760 million, congratulations to Ms. An for winning the auction!"

"1000 two million three times, congratulations to Ms. An for winning another auction!"

The auction has reached a fever pitch, and the starting price of the collection has reached 700 million, and it is still rising.

Lin Changchi folded his hands a little restlessly: "Master An, is your daughter going to sweep all the collections? There are already No. 11 collections, adding up to hundreds of millions, right? And the value of these collections is far less than the auction price Sancheng, do you want to persuade your daughter?"

Lin Changchi was actually a little worried that An Lan didn't know the significance of these collections. The starting price of these collections was much higher than the original value. It's nothing to say that the eldest lady of a rich family is willing to spend money for fun, but Duanmuming is a member of the national councilor. The boss, a contact person in the business and political circles, the money is considered to be bribes to politicians in disguise.

What An Lan did was obviously ruining the way for other guests to bribe Duanmu Ming. Although the one with the highest price will take the bid, how can we give others a little way, right?

Lin Changchi was thinking about the organization of the Anchang Church, but he didn't expect him to say to him indifferently: "Mind your own business."

The father is not in a hurry, but the uncle is in a hurry: "Patriarch An, you really don't plan to take care of it?"

Lin Changchi questioned again.

This time, An Changxiu just ignored him.

The collection was brought out one by one, and everyone's eyes were on An Lan every time the auction was held, until more than 20 products were all bought by An Lan at a price of nearly [-] million yuan. Duanmu Ming also took this little girl who has been bidding seriously. stand up.

When the auction ended, An Lan also stood up, and a bodyguard in a suit stepped forward to stand in front of An Lan, and then bowed slightly: "Miss, our master wants to talk to you."

An Lan was worrying that there was no reason to approach Duanmu Ming, and that Lin Qi had been following her all the time. Now that it's all right, the opportunity has come, An Lan replied with a smile, "Okay."

Then she turned to look at Lin Xi: "Go back to the banquet hall first, I will find you later."

After speaking, she followed the bodyguard to the door.

Duanmu Ming was standing in the corridor with a dead end, holding a cane, with a harmless expression on his face.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had obtained his information, An Lan would have been unable to believe that this kind-hearted old man who held a charity dinner was one of the biggest cancers in this country.

An Lan stood in front of Duanmu Ming and saluted with a smile on her face: "Hello, Mr. Duanmu."

She was so shocked in the face of a dying person, her acting skills even admired herself.

"Hello, Miss An." Duanmu Ming bowed his head to express his return to her, then slowly raised his head and asked in doubt: "Thank you very much for your generosity, Miss An, but...does Miss An like my collection very much?"
