Chapter 396 Crescent Hotel ([-])

396 Chapter 396 Crescent Hotel ([-])
The auction was about to begin, and the surroundings became noisy. People downstairs were leaving one after another. The curtains in the entire building were closed one by one by the clerks. The surrounding area suddenly became dark. Tables and tables began to be placed on the stage below. Display stand.

Some waiters began to move the screens in the box to make it easier for people inside to watch the auction. People sitting at the dinner table also came to the theater one after another, looking at the stage in the center.

I walked into that person's box and walked directly towards the stage. I saw my brother and the others at a glance. They were in the box on the opposite side to the left. Wu Xie's nervous body seemed to be a little stiff. It seemed that she was eaten to death by Huo Xiangu.

I looked at the other side and thought about something, and the man asked me: "Why, he is already sitting there, aren't you going to stop him?"

I didn't answer him, and indeed I didn't do anything. I just stood there and looked at the other side.

In fact, when I was walking back all the way, I thought that if there was enough time, I would have to find a way to get Wu Xie to leave there. But he had already made an agreement with the old lady, a bet-type agreement. If he leaves now, Wu Xie My brother has lost. He has been trapped by Huo Xiangu, and there is no way to advance or retreat.

And the focus of today is definitely the auction item. If my brother and the others knew what the auction item was, they would definitely not leave.

Huo Xiangu asked Wu Xie to meet here not only because of Style Lei, but also because of the auction item. Huo Xiangu had too many evil intentions, and I'm afraid it was more than that. She wanted to stay temporarily, so she couldn't act rashly now.

After thinking about it, I smiled lightly. The man looked at the other side and then at me, and said to me: "Since I don't plan to stop him, just sit down and watch, please."

He made a respectful gesture of invitation and asked me to take a seat. I looked at the chair next to him where he was originally sitting and said to him: "Then I'm not welcome." Then I sat down, then turned to look at him and said: " Why don't you sit on that chair too? Standing will be so tiring."

He chuckled and said, "No, I'm not that stupid."

I said "Oh" with a smile: "What do you mean, brother Wu Xie is stupid."

He said: "I'm still stupid. I stood in front of him for so long and he didn't recognize me. Besides, he owns an antique shop after all, so he should know the rules of auctions if he's not familiar with them. He's coming here recklessly, no. It’s hard to suffer a loss.”

I said to him: "How many years has it been since he saw you? When he saw you, were you like this? Are you still blaming others for not recognizing you? You obviously changed your style yourself."

He participated in auctions, and those auctions were as grand as this. He may not understand the rules of the auction, but he must not understand the rules of the Crescent Hotel, otherwise he would not have stepped on the thunder.

As for you, are you really here just to watch the fun? "

He said: "Aren't you not interested in this kind of occasion?"

I said, "Yes, but who doesn't know that the items auctioned here cannot be valued, and have even been seen by no one at all? Even the fakes are exactly the same as the genuine items, which are completely copied using extremely sophisticated techniques. It is said that no flaw can be found through any examination.

The territory here belongs to the Zhang family, and here comes the Huo family, the Jie family, the Wu family, and some kind of Liuli grandson. Moreover, I am also very interested in today's things.

There are so many old acquaintances across the street, why didn’t you get some air in advance? "

He smiled and said, "You guess."

Ever since Wu Xie sat on that chair, he felt more and more uncomfortable all over. The chair seemed to have nails or springs, and he couldn't sit still.

The suddenly dark environment and restless voices around him made Wu Xie feel a little guilty. Looking at the old woman's shaky expression, he had a premonition that he might have done something stupid, and it must be related to the auction.

He looked around carefully and saw the pink shirt in a private room on the left opposite side. He was standing next to the table playing with his mobile phone. But there was a girl on the seat next to him who had just been invited away. Xiaoxun, Bai Hao was behind her, Wu Xie whispered: "She is over there." Fatty whispered back to him: "I have seen it a long time ago." Fatty pointed to Wu Xie and asked Wu Xie to look at the opposite side. In the large box, he whispered: "Liu Lisun."

Then he leaned back slightly, turned his head and said in the little brother's ear: "Your wife asked the pretty boy to make an appointment in the opposite compartment, and she is still sitting in the master's seat. Do they know each other?" The little brother just stared at the opposite side, Nothing was said.

Wu Xie looked at the opposite side and suddenly realized something was wrong. The furnishings in all the other private rooms were similar, including a root-carved table and a few chairs.But no matter how many people there were, everyone was sitting on the chairs on the left. He looked back at Xiaoxun. She was also sitting on the left. There were obviously chairs on the right, but she didn't sit on the right even though she was standing in a pink shirt playing with her mobile phone. On the chair, that is to say, no one in the box was sitting where he was. This was definitely not a coincidence, and he couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat.

He looked at Xiaoxun, feeling that Xiaoxun realized that she was looking at her. She specifically looked at the empty chair beside her, then looked in the direction of Mrs. Huo, then shook her head at him and sighed helplessly. , Wu Xie's heart skipped a beat. What Xiaoxun meant seemed to be telling him that something was difficult to handle. It seemed that he had really done something stupid, and it seemed that it was irreversible.

But now that this is the case, we can only pretend to be calm. With our own determination, it is difficult to completely conceal it in front of such an old world. But if we don’t conceal it, we might as well stand up and surrender and leave. We can only bite the bullet. The wait goes on.

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Zhuangdang and found that Fatty was also a little uneasy, thinking about it, after all, this was not his place, and he felt guilty.

But then he thought about it, we have come through mountains of swords and seas of fire, what can happen here?The worst thing is to be kicked out, he will not lose his head. Thinking of this, Wu Xie immediately relaxed, smiled at the old woman, and said to himself, you underestimate me, I have been on the line between life and death several times. This scene is nothing.

So I sat upright and focused on what was going on below.

At this moment, the auction stage and display base were quickly set up on the stage. A person who looked like a staff member came on stage with a microphone and was adjusting it. There were also people who were adjusting the lighting. These people were all wearing waiter uniforms.It doesn't look like it was done by an auction company. It should be a private internal auction, just for everyone in the industry, as rumored.

Mrs. Huo faced the table downstairs. Then, the giant chandelier in the center was turned on, and the magnificent light and shadows were flowing. The old appliances, carpets, and curtains suddenly became very dim and gorgeous under this light.

Soon, the noise below became louder and louder, and the equipment was adjusted. A beautiful emcee wearing a cheongsam, long hair, a very thin waist, very long legs, and the temperament of a lady from the Republic of China gave her a sound check. He said to the surroundings: "The auction is about to start. Anyone waiting, please leave. We are about to close. Keep quiet in the venue. The waiters can start distributing auction rosters and taking fingerprints."

People around him became restless. The little girl next to him let out a cry of joy and asked the old lady: "Has it started yet?"

The old lady nodded: "It's started, you watch, we have a good show today."

Wu Xie was also uneasy at this moment. At this moment, someone came and moved the screen behind them. A waiter came up with a tray lined with red cloth. In the tray, there was a hard-covered book. The pamphlet came to the old lady.

The waiter was stunned when he saw Wu Xie sitting on the chair on the right, and his face suddenly turned green. It took him a long time to react, and he immediately asked: "Madam, is your friend sitting in the wrong seat?"

The old woman looked at him and smiled and said: "What? I haven't seen such a scene for a long time, and you don't believe that anyone dares to sit here? It's been more than ten years since Lao Changsheng sat here, and no one has dared to sit here for a long time. This position, but the things I took today can be considered a once-in-a-century event, and the appearance of a few people who are desperate for their lives is considered appropriate. You can add another roster to this young master of the Wu family. He will serve you well and let you grow up. Eye."

The waiter replied: "Okay." He glanced at Wu Xie with a frightened expression, immediately turned around and walked away. Not long after, the same roster came into Wu Xie's hands.

The waiter also brought a pot of tea and four plates of very exquisite snacks. He looked at him with curious and strange eyes and said: "Boss, this is from our foreman. Please use it slowly. If you have any orders, call us immediately." After that, He left immediately.

The fat man whispered: "What's the matter? The best Biluochun, this pot of tea costs more than 7000."

Wu Xie felt more and more inexplicable, and the situation was not right, very bad. He looked at the fat man, meaning what should he do?
The fat man winked at him and shook his head slightly to tell him not to be afraid. He opened the roster and read it eagerly. After turning two pages, the corners of his mouth started to twitch.

Wu Xie immediately grabbed it, took a closer look, and found that there were only two pages in the beautiful cover.

The first page is a welcome message, and the second page is pasted with a large photo. The photo is very large, with a seal on it, and a square base. The base is engraved with complex shapes, very dark cyan. , there is no luster, and it looks a bit familiar.
