Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 37 Auction
Wrights Hotel, the banquet hall on the third floor.

Xie Lai took two drinks and was about to go back to the corner to give them to Ye Qing when someone stopped him.

"You kid, don't tell me when you come!"

Just by listening to this sound, Xie Lai knew who was coming.

The sixty-year-old man with a little silver on his temples is Ye Tianjuan, the president of the Jinghua Culture and Expo Association, and the other middle-aged man who is with him is his assistant.

Because of Grandma Xie Lai, the relationship between Ye Tianjuan and Xie Lai is very close. Even if Ye Tianjuan put on a straight face, he could hear an unusual familiarity in his words.

Xie Lai laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of delaying you."

"How is your grandfather?"

"Grandpa is in good health, better than me." Xie Lai said with a smile, "He wakes up at five o'clock every morning, and comes back from morning exercises in the park at seven o'clock."

The two didn't say a few words, and the people in the hall came to say hello when they saw the chairman's appearance.

Ye Tianjuan is also in his sixties, and his health is getting weaker and weaker. The association often hosts exhibitions just under his name, and the post of president is about to be handed over to someone else.

He asked Xie Lai to play by himself, but before leaving, he asked, "You didn't come alone, did you?"

"Student with..." Xie Lai glanced into the corner, then lowered his head to look at the patterns on the carpet, and said quickly, "Then I'll go and play with Uncle Ye another day, don't make me noisy, I'll go there first. "

Ye Tianjuan dealt with a few old friends, and inadvertently turned his head to look in the direction of Xie Lai, and happened to see the girl next to him, he blinked, and was stunned for a moment.

"impossible……"

"President, what is impossible?"

Ye Tianjuan looked at the assistant and shook his head: "Old eyes are dim."

Back in the corner, Xie Lai handed the drink to Ye Qing, but his mind was already far away.

After finally getting Ye Qing out, wouldn't it be a waste of time to stay here all the time?
A person who is usually good at chatting, at this time, he has to type up a few drafts silently before saying a word. After a few minutes, he said: "Ye Qing, you... Shall we go out for a stroll?"

"No shopping." Thinking about other things, Ye Qing didn't understand what he meant.

After sitting in the corner, Ye Qing didn't stand up.

Her eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the exhibition hall, but unfortunately, she couldn't find the owner of the rough stone, Wang Dali.

Worried that there might be some kind of monster hiding around Wang Dali, Ye Qing was afraid of threatening others, so he could only choose a passive way - wait for Wang Dali to appear in front of her defenseless.

"Aren't you going shopping? Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

"Go and ask Wang Dali when he will come."

"Wang Dali?" Xie Lai didn't know why she mentioned Wang Dali again, following her gaze, he noticed that Ye Qing's eyes were always around those rough stones, a little vigilant.

"Then I'll ask."

I asked Ye Tianjuan's assistant, and learned that Wang Dali had something to do and he didn't come.

But at the auction tonight, Wang Dali will definitely show up.

Most of the exhibitions organized by the Cultural and Expo Association are for people in the industry to see. The well-known cultural relics associations and collectors in Jinghua City will only display some of the exhibits at the exhibition for sharing and mutual appreciation, while some of the exhibits will be auctioned.

Shelley gave her a copy of the auction list, which said that the auction would start at seven o'clock in the evening.

"I'm going to wait for the auction, do you want to go back first?" The scene is mainly all kinds of antiques, and there are few jade and jewelry. Now Wang Dali has sent all the rough stones in advance, so he will definitely show up at night.

"Are you kidding? I must be with you!"

"That's good." Anyway, he could see Wang Dali later, so Ye Qing got up and went out.

"Hey." Xie Lai followed, and once the banquet was out, the conversation became more frequent: "It seems that you have studied a lot, not only about bronzes, but also about jade. When did you start to like jade? Yes Alright, let's make an appointment with the National Museum next time, I know the curator! I remember next month, there will be a special international jewelry exhibition in Hujiang City, all of which are top-notch objects, do you want to go and see it?"

Through Shi Zhenxiang's erosion, Ye Qing has become immune to all poisons, and Xie Lai's words enter his left ear and exit his right ear without any interference.

Since she wanted to stay longer, she had to ask Hu Yingfeng to take care of Rong Sheng for a while longer.She called Hu Yingfeng, but he didn't answer. Guessing she was driving, she left him a message.

She said that she was at the Leiters Hotel, there was an auction at seven o'clock, and she would pick up Rongsheng later, and asked him to be in charge of Rongsheng's dinner.

When it came to dinner, Ye Qing sent another message: "He is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat eggs or dairy products."

After a few minutes, she took out her mobile phone and added: "You have to hide anything with oil in his meal, be careful I will make you unable to eat meat for a whole year!"

I don't know what Hu Yingfeng was doing, and after a while, after [-]:[-], he sent her a message back - I got it.

At 45:[-], Ye Qing finally saw Wang Dali.

Xie Lai said that he should be 30 years old, maybe there are too many bad things recently, he looks like he is forty, his body is thin, the black suit on his body doesn't fit well, especially the belly, which looks empty, Ye Qingneng It can be seen that his suit should have been custom-made, but it was a style a few years ago. A pair of shoes were polished clean, but the edges were severely worn.

He greeted and shook hands with a few people, and his smile looked good, but the dark shadows in his eyes could not conceal his tiredness no matter what.

Ye Qing sat at the end, when Wang Dali walked past her, she squinted slightly and swept his face.

As expected, his whole body was shrouded in a faint red light, flickering on and off, and there was an evil spirit in the center of his eyebrows!
At seven o'clock, the auction kicked off after the chairman's speech.

For this auction, not only the researchers who watched the exhibition before, but also many collectors including businessmen were invited. Before Ye Qing came, he saw two ancient relics with spiritual energy, a bronze lamp and a The cloisonné enamel Buddhist altar became the focus of the auction. In addition, there was also a superb green Buddha statue. The owner's funds were broken and he was in a hurry to sell.

It was not until later in the auction that Wang Dali's rough stone appeared on the projection screen.

However, no one took pictures of the first rough stone, not to mention how ugly Wang Dali looked.

Wang Dali went to the gray card two years ago, and found many people to borrow money. Many people comforted him and persuaded him, but not many people actually paid for it. Competitors have become sworn enemies.

And these four rough stones were originally made of wool, and everyone didn't trust Wang Dali. After the first piece failed to be auctioned, the remaining three rough stones were collected by Ye Qingqing easily. At this time, Wang Dali's expression turned slightly pale. It looks better.

He looked back at Ye Qing several times, feeling somewhat grateful.

When the largest rough stone appeared, the situation changed again.

This rough stone has been ground into emerald, and it is of high quality, and there is some green on the stone skin. The exposed part alone is worth millions.
