Thousands of miles and a pound of paint

Chapter 9

Suddenly a bird flew over from a distance and just landed on the man's shoulder. The bird's black feathers were dull for some reason, but its mouth could not stop screaming in distress: "Ah~ah~ah~".

The man in the suit looked at the little black bird that landed on the man's shoulder, "The reason for today's incident is because you said that your father is critically ill and needs 30 yuan for surgery. You can stop at any time." After speaking, he picked up his cane and gently drove the bird away.

Probably because the cane touched the man's body inadvertently, the man stood up suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and the veins protruded from his neck to his forehead, the man slowly lowered his voice and said: "...Okay, I will do it! But my father There is still a large amount of nutrition expenses after the operation, so I want 50 now!"

The man in the suit seemed to have expected him to make this request, and he replied with a half-smile, "No problem, when it's done, we'll deliver the goods and pay for it."

The man also didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, then lowered his head and fell into endless silence...
The man in the suit emphasized again: "I'll wait for you in the coffee shop downstairs of the auction company!"

Yes, job-hopping can also be counted as a normal need, but once someone finds out what a man is about to do, it is not an exaggeration to be expelled from the school, and it may even be a prison sentence.

But his father was in danger, and he had no better choice. His mother left early, leaving him and his father to depend on each other.Although my father also married several aunts one after another, but the woman came for his father's money, and no one was willing to lend a helping hand at a critical moment. I really had no other way...

As the wall clock rang, indicating that the auction was about to start, the man in the suit took the lead and left with his cane, with a smug look on his face, as if he had already got what he wanted.

The man put on his face guinea and left when the clock rang for the second time.

At this moment, the hall of the winery has been decorated according to the needs of the auction. The auctioneer and auctioneers entered the venue one after another. Several artists who came to the scene also took their seats early. With the gate closed, the audience became extremely silent. Until today's auctioneer announced the official start of Jiashili's summer auction, thunderous applause resounded through the hall.

Ding Muqing took Su Li and Lao Qi to sit behind Professor Zhang. With his profound facial features, he stood out from the crowd, but his cold gaze was particularly captivating.

With the continuous shouting of prices in the arena, Su Li began to think about seeing the fifth senior brother again, and poked the elder brother's arm with his finger, "Eldest brother, I just saw the fifth senior brother."

Well!At the beginning, the Seventh Senior Brother next to her couldn't sit still, and hurriedly retorted: "What, you must have misread it, okay?"

When Lao Qi went to call her, not to mention people in that corridor, not even a dog, it must be that Su Li didn't want to do things with him, and wanted to sneak into the muddy waters of the corridor to fish, but luckily he dragged her back witty You want me to do things alone?This is impossible!
Seeing that Senior Brother Seven's voice was getting louder, Su Li was scared, his voice gradually became smaller, and he said aggrievedly: "I didn't..."

Seeing Su Li holding his mouth, Lao Qi got even more excited, "Then did you see it with your own eyes? You just saw someone who looks like Fifth Senior Brother! Be sober!"

Ding Mu looked at the two people like elementary school students, you bickered with each other, and he only glanced at Lao Qi, and he immediately calmed down, and then Ding Mu asked in a soft voice: "Su Li, what are you talking about?" Are you sure that what you saw must be Fifth Junior Brother?"

"I'm 80.00% sure it's the fifth brother."

Su Li subconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes, his eyes kept jumping back and forth between the senior brother and the seventh senior brother.

Ding Mu raised his head lightly, frowned at the document in his hand with good-looking eyebrows, but quickly spread it out again, "Then why is the remaining 20.00% uncertain?"

Seventh senior brother couldn't help but secretly elated when he heard the senior brother's question. Sure enough, the senior senior brother is still sensible~
Su Li didn't make a sound for a long while, until Senior Brother Seven bumped into her lightly, and then he explained as if he came to his senses: "Because I really didn't see the whole face of that person, only the back and profile, but the back and profile are the same as the five. Brothers are almost exactly the same."

Ding Muqing followed slowly and said: "There are many people whose backs and profiles are similar. If you don't see the front, it means you didn't see it. You two don't have to worry about this anymore. Take a good look at the works in this auction."

As soon as the conclusion came out, the smile on Brother Seven's face became more and more rampant, and the irrepressible joy was all reflected in the rhythm of his speech.

"Okay, big brother!"

Su Li shrank his neck, hating himself for not seeing it clearly for a while, and now Senior Brother Qi won a head, "Okay."

Seventh Senior Brother laughed twice, and looked at Su Li proudly, "I told you that you read it wrong, right? If you don't believe me, you're going to give up now, right?"

Probably because the two are about the same age, Su Li always quarrels with the seventh senior brother, and the two have to fight each time to win or lose.

Of course Su Li was not convinced. After all, he was very sure that the person belonged to the Fifth Senior Brother, but he was timid after all. Every time the Seventh Senior Brother's voice was louder, he started to shrink back, "But I still..."

Seventh Brother's mouth twitched, and he said, "What about you, Senior Brother has come to a conclusion, you still have so much."

It was you again, and I started a bickering like a chicken in elementary school.

As the two argued, the movement became more and more obvious. The people sitting in the front row looked back intentionally or unintentionally, with disgust in their eyes.

Seeing this, Ding Muqing put down the document in his hand, and said to the two "kids", "You both should be quiet!"

With the senior brother's warning, the two closed their mouths, but they couldn't hide the look in the eyes of the one who wanted to dao.

The auctioneer was dressed in a light green cheongsam and stood under the spotlight, "The next work, I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, comes from the "Lushan Mountain Painted Lacquer Plate" by Professor Zhang Yiqing, a master of lacquerware. As everyone knows, Zhang The professor is the leader of our lacquer art industry, and the original intention of the professor to auction this work is for the out-of-school children in the mountainous area, so this work is not only a work of art, but also a practical appliance, and it is also a transmission of our love."

The auctioneer standing on the high platform carefully observed the expressions of the bidders and watched everyone whispering, she immediately continued in a calm and pleasant voice: "Therefore, our Professor Zhang also specially came to our auction site today , Professor Zhang, please say hello to our bidders!"

The bidders followed the auctioneer's gestures, and the beam of light, with the cooperation of the lighting engineer, followed everyone's gaze to illuminate the position of Professor Zhang.
