Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

villa.

There was soft and feminine music playing in the room.

But it cannot conceal Meng Xuan's dreamy singing.

Come to think of it, it has been quite a while since I last let myself go.

Until this moment, she felt that the whole world had quieted down.

A full hour.

Meng Xuan snuggled up to Zhuang Zhou's chest, feeling the sound of his pounding heart.

"Meng Xuan, have you made up your mind? Living with me?"

Half an hour ago, the two of them were taking a break.

Zhuang Zhou proposed living together as a period of adjustment.

Wait a year before considering getting married.

Meng Xuan thought about it, but still disagreed:

"Forget it! I'm a little scared!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"You... Anyway, I'm not living with you."

Zhuang Zhou didn't quite understand what Meng Xuan meant:

"What? You don't want to marry me?"

Meng Xuan hummed:

"Yes! Unless you don't want to marry me!"

"Of course I want to marry you."

Zhuang Zhou held her shoulders, his eyes full of determination.

"I just think that we can live together first, get used to each other, and then consider getting married after a year."

Meng Xuan bit her lip lightly. She knew that Zhuang Zhou's proposal was not unreasonable, but she still felt some unspeakable fear in her heart.

She raised her head, looked into Zhuang Zhou's eyes, and took a deep breath:

"Zhuang Zhou, you know I'm not afraid of living with you, I'm afraid of...that?"

Zhuang Zhou frowned:

"What are you afraid of?"

Meng Xuan gently leaned on Zhuang Zhou's shoulder and whispered:

"You're too fierce. I'm afraid you'll torment me every day."

I go!

So that's what you said!

Zhuang Zhou immediately vowed:

"Don't worry, I will respect you. If you don't like it, I will never force you."

"really?"

"Of course!"

"Then you just let me use my mouth."

"Cough cough..."

Zhuang Zhou coughed lightly and tried to change the subject:

"That... that's just a suggestion. You can change to something else."

Meng Xuan rolled her eyes heavily:

"I knew you were always trying to make trouble for me!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled lightly, of course he would not admit it.

"Don't worry! I said I won't do it.

From now on, it will be your turn to torture me, dripping candles, whipping me..."

"Wait...you've played all of these, right?"

"how is this possible?"

"Then since you explained it so clearly, I think you are cheating on me outside."

"Would I be in this state if I cheated? No, I have to prove it to you."

Having said that, Zhuang Zhou turned over and was about to continue.

"Stop it!"

"It's time to pick someone up at the airport!"

……

9:49pm.

Kyungdoo International Airport.

Zhuang Zhou and Meng Xuan waited at the airport for half an hour, half an hour later than planned.

Finally, we received Mr. Hou who came from afar.

"Boss Zhuang, could you please come pick me up in person?"

"Mrs. Hou, you are too polite. You can come to the auction, which is a compliment to me!"

"You are being too polite. You are so young, but you can run an auction by yourself. How capable is that?"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zhuang Zhou introduced Meng Xuan.

When Mr. Hou heard that she was Meng Tianxiang's daughter, he couldn't help but look up to her.

"Mr. Hou, the hotel has been arranged. Have a good rest first. I will take you to visit the company tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Then we got in the car, took the airport highway and headed straight to the hotel.

This time, Zhuang Zhou proposed to hold a three-day preview event before the auction begins.

Let all buyers see the goods in advance and have an idea of ​​what to expect.

It's to build momentum for the auction.

Qingdu International Airport is only about 30 kilometers away from the city center.

Because there was no traffic jam, it was much faster than when we came here.

After checking in at the hotel, it was already 10:30 in the evening.

Since Mr. Qian went to bed early, he went to bed right away.

Zhuang Zhou and Meng Xuan did not return to the villa, but directly booked a room next door.

This went on for another night.

The next morning.

After everyone had breakfast, Meng Xuan went about her own business.

Zhuang Zhou brought Mr. Qian to visit the auction company.

I walked around every department. There weren't many people, but they looked very professional.

It can be said that all of this was done with the help of Liu Yunhe.

After the visit, Li Tao called and said that the relevant experts had arrived.

Zhuang Zhou brought Mr. Qian to the auction department again.

There are already seven or eight people waiting, and the youngest is no less than 40 years old.

These are the relevant experts recommended by Liu Yunhe.

"Mr. Qian, these are the appraisal experts I invited. They all have rich experience and high reputation in their respective fields."

Zhuang Zhou introduced Mr. Qian one by one:

"This is Li Yufeng, a well-known jade expert in China."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Qian smiled and shook hands with Li Yufeng:

"Professor Li, long time no see!"

"Yes! Mr. Qian, I didn't expect to meet you here."

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he said, "Okay, I know them all."

Then Zhuang Zhou introduced several experts.

Calligraphy and painting copybooks, bronze ware, ancient wood collectibles...

They are all well-known domestic experts.

Mr. Qian nodded, shook hands with the experts one by one, and chatted with them for a few words.

He had already known many of them.

"Boss Zhuang, you are really good, you invited all these experts here!

It seems you have put a lot of effort into this auction!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled modestly:

"Mr. Qian, you are too kind. This is all because of Liu Yunhe's face. How could I invite him?"

At this time, Li Yufeng said:

"In fact, the reason why we are willing to come here is not just because of Liu Yunhe.

It’s because of Mr. Zhuang’s treasure.”

Li Yufeng seemed very excited, even more excited than Zhuang Zhou:

"Come on, Mr. Qian, I'll take you to have a look!"

"Oh that's fine!"

Zhuang Zhou looked at the scene in front of him and felt like he had become a guest.

When we arrived at the exhibition hall, there was a group of security guards standing at the door.

After all, it is an auction, so security must be strengthened.

Cameras with no blind spots are installed everywhere.

Li Yufeng led Mr. Qian to start viewing in the exhibition hall.

The first item to be auctioned was Li Er’s favorite jade chessboard, along with the jade chess pieces.

"Oh, this is a top-notch treasure!"

Mr. Qian was deeply attracted at a glance.

"Yes!"

Li Yufeng continued:

"I and several experts have examined it and found that this chessboard is made of Kunlun goat fat jade.

And these chess pieces, each one is made of the finest Lantian jade and carefully carved by craftsmen.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure.”

Mr. Qian has always liked stones, and he was attracted by the chessboard and chess pieces.

That thought had already been stirred.

I couldn't help but ask:

"What's the estimated value?"

Li Yufeng said: "Our current expert group's consensus estimate is 1.7 million."

"1.7 million?"

Mr. Qian was slightly stunned, then nodded:

"The price is fair. It is indeed top-notch quality."

The two of them were admiring the chessboard and chess pieces while discussing.

At this time, Mr. Qian's attention shifted to another item.

A copybook of calligraphy.

"The strokes of this character vary greatly, with ups and downs, revealing a distinct rhythm.

At first glance, its charm is similar to the style of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi."

"Hahaha~~~"

At this time, an old man wearing black-framed glasses laughed out loud:

"Mr. Qian really knows what he's talking about!

This calligraphy piece is a copy of the "Seventeen Posts" by the calligrapher Wang Yizhi, which was copied by later generations.

However, the expert group unanimously agreed that this calligraphy work is the best copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy today."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian took a breath and said excitedly:

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang! This is so precious!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled, but he was actually feeling very sad!

Although it is clearly a genuine work by Wang Xizhi, it can only be regarded as the best imitation in existence today.
