Don't follow the rules

"Okay, this is not the point." An Han reluctantly took the right to speak from Ning Yao's messy nonsense.

Ning Yao reluctantly closed her mouth, and An Han finally had time to ask Du Jingxiu: "Considering the auction rules that I have never seen, I won't discuss too in-depth issues here. After all, you are a hostile person. We may not be able to accept the information BOSS asked."

"In view of the fact that we just treated you to a meal, I only ask one question. I hope you can answer us as honestly as possible."

Du Jingxiu smiled and turned his head slightly, as if using body language to express that he was "all ears".

An Han tried his best to avoid crossing the boundaries of the auction rules: "Mr. Du, you and Rao Ze boarded the ship this time because there are items in the auction that you need, or that the Guitaan Mutual Aid Alliance needs."

Du Jingxiu blinked, as if thinking about whether he could answer this answer.

Xin Cheng couldn't help but interrupt in a low voice: "Of course there are the lots he needs, otherwise the auction house wouldn't have contacted him in advance and handed him an invitation letter."

An Han did not look away, still staring at Du Jingxiu: "No, there is a difference."

Du Jingxiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I understand. What you want to ask is whether this auction is for my personal needs or the alliance's needs."

An Han pursed his lips, but did not deny it.

Du Jingxiu still looked very magnanimous: "To be honest, I am a bit similar to Mr. Xin. I am actually here to attend the auction on behalf of an inconvenient friend."

Du Jingxiu didn't look like he was lying, but An Han still didn't dare to draw a conclusion. After all, he had no intention of actually hearing the truth from Du Jingxiu's mouth from the beginning. He just wanted to capture some clues from the other party's words and demeanor.

Humans are such strange creatures. The more they try to hide something, the more flaws there will be and the more obvious the direction will be.

But the other party seemed extremely sincere from his words to his body movements, which really made An Han feel a bit confused.

Is he lying?

"Huh? What you said is actually true. You are really brave. You dare to expose yourself to anything, and you are not afraid that I will be mad at you when I go back." Ning Yao folded his hands on his chest, holding a toothpick in his mouth. Although his words were scornful, but But he was very sure of the authenticity of Du Jingxiu's answer.

An Han turned around in surprise, but caught the toothpick that Ning Yao had dropped with his face. The person involved still looked confident: "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." An Han wiped the saliva from his face in disgust.

Du Jingxiu chuckled almost inaudibly. He raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall: "It's getting late. I have some other personal matters to deal with, so I won't interrupt you. Thank you for the hospitality. It's very delicious."

After saying that, he stood up and adjusted the creases at the corners of his clothes. He turned a deaf ear to Ning Yao's false attempts to stay, opened the door and left.

"He's leaving now? I don't know whether to call him polite or rude..." Ning Yao picked up a new toothpick.

"Stop playing with toothpicks." An Han couldn't help but say.

Ning Yao yawned: "I'm so bored~"

"Now that we are the only ones, internal meetings don't need to be so restrictive." An Han said.

Ning Yao rubbed his hands: "Well, please bring up the sukiyaki first. I'm not full yet."

Number 1 immediately followed: "Sukiyaki! Sukiyaki!"

"Huh?" Although Xin Cheng was a little confused, he still cooperated and called the waiters and asked them to continue presenting the unfinished dishes.

The steaming clay pot is turned on, adding a friendly atmosphere to the wabi-sabi style interior.

With Du Jingxiu's departure and Xin Cheng's participation, the dinner finally turned into an acquaintance dinner, and everyone ate more and enjoyed themselves.

Ning Yao wrapped a small matsutake mushroom with the best thin slices of Wagyu beef, covered it with sweet egg liquid, and wrapped it whole in his mouth, enjoying the pleasure of the delicious juice bursting in his mouth. “Wuhu~This is so delicious!” Ning Yao slapped the table.

No. 1 was munching on grilled clams with lemon and had no time to pay attention to it. However, An Han couldn't help but agree: "It is indeed the number one restaurant on the recommendation list."

Although Xin Cheng also ate very enthusiastically, he still insisted that the "big meal" he certified was the most delicious in the world.

No. 1 took the time to look up: "I'll remember it. I'll eat what you recommended after finishing this meal."

Xin Cheng smiled honestly, and then suddenly realized something: "Eh? By the way, why haven't you seen my eldest brother?"

Ning Yao's face fell, and he instantly felt that even the beef tongue and barbecued pork in his mouth no longer tasted good: "The eldest brother was sent to perform other tasks, and he will not be able to make it on our trip."

Xin Cheng fiddled with his chopsticks: "So, second brother, are you also on a mission this time?"

Ning Yao stammered and hesitated, clearly intending to fool Xin Cheng, which made Xin Cheng's head full of questions. An Han still couldn't stand it anymore, so he took over the conversation between the two people and tried to end the topic:

"Let's investigate."

"Research?" Xin Cheng's reflex arc lasted for two seconds. "Oh! I understand!"

He loudly said: "Eating public funds, no, no, no..."

Ning Yao quickly covered his mouth: "Where did you come from as a fool? Why do you dare to say anything? What if the novel is blocked?"

No. 1 finished all the wagyu in the pot and was cooking with the sweet almond tofu: "With his emotional intelligence, if he worked in an old-fashioned company, he would probably be fired the next day because he stepped in the door with his left foot."

An Han pushed up his glasses: "Sorry everyone, I started this topic, but obviously, I misjudged his brain."

Ning Yao let go of Xin Cheng's mouth, but Xin Cheng didn't pay any attention to their conversation just now, but looked at No. 1: "What are you eating? Why don't we?"

No. 1's hand holding the tofu tightened. The ice cream nightmare was still lingering in his mind. He silently took the cup aside: "This is what the sukiyaki chef just gave me. He said it was only for children."

Xin Cheng: "So what is it?"

No. 1: “A kind of molecular gastronomy.”

Xin Cheng: "I'll try it."

Number 1: "No."

Xin Cheng: "What a stingy person..."

Number 1: "Just stingy."

An Han had to come out to smooth things over again: "I'll ask the store to bring a few more. It's not expensive. By the way, Xin Cheng, which room are you staying in? This trip is probably not short. If we are close, we can visit each other. .”

Having said this, a subtle expression appeared on Xin Cheng's face: "Have you seen the big glass house building on the roof?"

An Han was slightly surprised and said, "You live in that glass suite? That's not right... We just heard someone say that a very young guest lives there."

Xin Cheng rubbed his eyes: "I don't live in a glass house, but it's not far away. It's the building across the street, directly opposite the glass house. I will go blind when Mader opens the window, and my assistant is giving I made a complaint to the guest room center, so I took this time to go out for a walk and bumped into you."

Ning Yao laughed loudly and gloated: "You also have today, don't you feel uncomfortable being blinded by a rich man?"
