602 Side Story (2)
Jiang Yu reacted.
He was su ye’s good friend.
He had always been cold to everyone, but now his expression softened. “Hello,” he said.
The two of them walked in and Zhao xiaotao realized that Jiang Yu was also here for work!
It was only after chatting with him that she realized that Jiang Qi was Jiang Yu’s father.
Jiang Yu had also attended the wedding yesterday.
He was happy for her when he saw su ye’s face brimming with happiness.
The president of the auction house was a rather warm-hearted person. He knew that after Jiang Qi was arrested, the Jiang family’s situation had taken a turn for the worse, and Jiang Yu, who had yet to graduate, needed help.
More importantly, those who attended the wedding were all close to the SU and Bo families.
Hence, she also told him about hiring a part-time job.
With the president’s personal recommendation, Zhao xiaotao and Jiang Yu didn’t even need to go through an interview. The foreman gave them a uniform each and explained the work flow.
The supervisor was quite sympathetic to these college students with poor family backgrounds, so he arranged some simple reception work.
They were in charge of receiving guests before the auction started.
After the auction started, they would stand on both sides of the main stage and be responsible for handing over items to help customers with simple questions.
Both of them were good-looking, and there was definitely no problem with their appearance. They were also students of Qing University, so they were smart and remembered things quickly.
There was still half an hour before the door opened. Zhao Xiao Tao changed into her uniform and stood at the entrance with Jiang Yu.
Zhao Xiao Tao was ready and took out her phone to call her grandmother before it started.
grandma, you and the village chief are taking the train back to peach village this afternoon, right? have you packed your things? ”
He was worried that grandma was still asleep, but her voice was quite loud over the phone.
ah, we didn’t take anything. We’ll go back in the afternoon.
With the village chief’s company, Zhao Xiao Tao was at ease. “That’s good. I have something to do today, so I won’t be sending you off. Don’t forget to buy some food in advance. You can buy it on the train too. The things on the train aren’t that expensive, so don’t be stingy with your money.”
The corner of ruan Yuxiang’s mouth twitched. I know. Go do your thing. Don’t worry about us.
“Okay, okay. Call me when you get on the train.”
okay, you’re even more naggy than grandma. Grandma’s out at the market, so I’ll stop talking. ruan Yuxiang hung up and put her phone into her bag.
If Zhao Xiao Tao were to see her at this moment, she would definitely be shocked.
Today, ruan Yuxiang was wearing a dark green velvet dress and a European-style hat that covered half of her face.
On her neck was an eye-catching Sea Pearl necklace, each of which was perfectly round. She was carrying a small bag and wearing thin lace gloves.
No one would be able to recognize that this was the simple old lady from the village who had attended the wedding yesterday.
She adjusted her sunglasses with her index finger, raised her hand, and squinted at the big sign hanging on the magnificent building in front of her.
“Kyoto auction house.”
Yesterday, she happened to hear that there would be an auction for a newly excavated antique bowl, and the pattern was something she didn’t have. Her collector’s habit was triggered, so she quickly brought the card here before the train set off in the afternoon.
At 9:30, the auction house opened.
The guests entered in an orderly manner, and Zhao Xiao Tao and Jiang Yu recorded their names and contact details.
Ruan Yuxiang was at the front of the line, and soon, she saw Zhao xiaotao through her sunglasses and top hat.
?!
Such a coincidence?
Why is my granddaughter here?
Although she had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell her granddaughter about the actual situation at home, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Wasn’t this situation a little too sudden?
Zhao Xiao Tao smiled at the old lady who was in a daze.”Grandma, please sign here.”
Ruan Yuxiang quickly raised her eyes to look at Zhao xiaotao before lowering her head again.
Didn’t ... Didn’t recognize her?
That’s right, I’m wearing this outfit today.
After thinking about it, she secretly let out a sigh of relief. Without signing, she directly took out a golden vvvip card.
Zhao Xiao Tao blinked at the card, and Jiang Yu was the first to understand. He reminded her gently, ” “This is an internal card only for important customers. You can enter directly without signing.”
Zhao Xiao Tao came to a sudden realization and politely invited her in.
The moment she passed by ruan Yuxiang, Zhao Xiao Tao seemed to smell something.
It was covered under the gown, and it was very, very light. It smelled a little like a dense medicinal herb?
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yu noticed her expression.
Zhao Xiao Tao did not know what to think, but she quickly shook her head in denial.”It’s nothing. I must have seen it wrong.”
......
The auction officially began.
The first item was the antique bowl that ruan Yuxiang had come for.
...
Under the professional lighting, the antique bowl had exquisite patterns and was exquisitely made.
The bowl’s opening was very complete, and there were no obvious flaws that could be seen with the naked eye.
In order to see the item clearly, ruan Yuxiang took off her sunglasses, but fortunately, there was still a hat and gauze that could cover half of her face. Moreover, the lights in the seats were dim, so Zhao xiaotao still could not recognize her.
After the auctioneer’s detailed introduction, the customers below the stage nodded.
[ starting price: 2.13 million ]
[ increment: 10000 ]
The first to raise was ruan Yuxiang. She immediately raised the bid 10 times, reaching 2.23 million.
It was especially straightforward, as if it didn’t cost any money.
Zhao Xiao Tao stood at the side, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the old lady.
This price was not considered high, and many people raised their signs one after another.
Very quickly, the price was raised to 3.8 million.
...
At this moment, many people had already put down their signs and started to watch.
This price was not suitable for an antique bowl.
These days, apart from the Bo Corporation, it was not easy for everyone to make money. They did not dare to spend impulsively and had to think twice.
However, at this moment, the old female voice sounded again.
She raised her board with an imposing manner and raised the bid by 20 times without any hesitation.”4 million!”
Upon hearing this number, the whole place was in an uproar. A few CEOs who had wanted to continue bidding were completely defeated.
The auctioneer gave the final word and motioned for Zhao Xiao Tao to go up the stage to hand the number plate to the bidder.
However, after calling out a few times, Zhao Xiao Tao seemed to have crashed as she stood still on the spot.
Just now, when ruan Yuxiang had raised her sign in a domineering manner, she had accidentally removed her top hat. She had not even reacted, and now her entire face was completely exposed in Zhao xiaotao’s line of sight.
Zhao Xiao Tao’s eyes did not even know how to move.
The Wanwan who bid 4 million for a bowl was her grandma?
—
At the same time, in an internet cafe villa on the other side of the capital city, there was another person who was as shocked as Zhao Xiao Tao!
That was Lin Zhan.
The third time he brought haya home to spend the night after getting drunk, he was already used to all sorts of accidents happening.
But he didn’t expect the scene in front of him.
The two of them slithered under the same blanket.
Open and honest.
His hand was still on haya.
Something’s wrong, Yingluo.
Something’s really wrong this time, Yingluo.
What did he do last night?
