The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband
Chapter 243 First acquaintance
Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi arrived at the auction a little late the next afternoon.
Seeing that several young people from the four major families were no longer at the door today, she roughly understood that there should be no particularly important guests to be entertained today, and there was a high probability that there would be no valuable items to be auctioned during the afternoon auction process.
As she expected, during the auction process that afternoon, she and Lu Sanshi remained in spectator mode throughout and did not use the bidding machine once.
The waiter who had refilled the refreshments in Box No. 6 upstairs several times was feeling suspicious, thinking that the couple seemed a little too low-key today.
After Xu Yiyu carefully watched the entire auction process upstairs, he had a rough idea of the financial strength of the ordinary guest seats on the first floor.
In fact, today, not only was there no bid in Box 6 where she was, but except for Box 8 upstairs where a tentative bid was made, the other boxes were particularly quiet.
However, seeing this situation, Xu Yiyu did not find it strange. Most of the items photographed today were decorative objects or handicrafts with exquisite carving techniques. There were very few items with a sense of age. Considering the current identities of the people in the box, it was normal that they were not on their list.
When Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi finished feeding each other the fifth wave of snacks, they finally heard Yan Xuhan on the auction stage announce that today's auction process was over.
Xu Yiyu, who was about to get up and leave, felt a little unmotivated at the moment.
Minus the 10 billion she spent yesterday, she still had 290 billion in mission goals to achieve.
Although there is no punishment if the task is not completed, not completing the task given by Tongzi is obviously not in line with her usual style!
"Host, this system will give you a heads-up. There will be a big event waiting for you tomorrow. Don't worry."
The Chosen System calmly kept the secret a secret, and indeed succeeded in whetting the appetite of its host.
"If the highlight you mentioned doesn't happen tomorrow, does that mean there's something wrong with your data collection ability? Can I ask for some extra compensation as mental damages for my unfulfilled expectations?"
The Chosen System cursed itself inwardly for being too talkative: its host had been so obedient for so long, it almost forgot that she was actually a black sesame filling inside!
"Don't worry! If there is no main event tomorrow, this system will give you both mission rewards when it distributes them. Just like you said, it's compensation!"
Tongzi's somewhat gnashing voice sounded like nature to Xu Yiyu's ears.
"You said this yourself, Tongzi. I didn't force you to give me both awards."
When the Chosen System saw an expression of success on Xu Yiyu's face, it suddenly realized something and cursed itself harshly for the second time in the data stream throughout its body.
Let you talk fast, let you talk fast! The host must have thought of a way to dig a hole for it!
Although these task rewards are just a drop in the bucket for the Chosen System, the feeling of losing to the host inexplicably will really make it unhappy!
After completing the negotiation, Xu Yiyu hummed a song contentedly, slowly withdrew from his own conscious world, took the hand of his classmate Sanshi and walked out of the box.
The moment the door of Box No. 6 opened, neither of them was able to take a step forward.
"Hello, Miss Xu, my father would like to invite you to our Zhou family's Box 2 for a chat. Are you free now?"
Standing at the door of the box was Zhou Zhishan, the second daughter of the Zhou family, who looked somewhat similar to Zhou Zhiyu. She was not wearing a mask, but maintained the perfect manners and politeness of a child from a noble family, and politely extended an invitation to Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi.
Xu Yiyu glanced carefully behind Zhou Zhishan. Apart from the security personnel originally stationed at the second-floor private room of the auction, there were no new faces.
"If Miss Xu is looking for Zhiyu, then I can tell you clearly that she did not come to the auction today. Instead, she is staying at home to reflect on her mistakes."
Zhou Zhishan's elegant and graceful demeanor was completely different from Zhou Zhiyu whom Xu Yiyu met yesterday. To exaggerate a little, whether it was treating people or handling matters, Zhou Zhishan's approach was many times better than Zhou Zhiyu's, who always spoke in sarcastic terms.
"Since Patriarch Zhou has invited me, I am naturally free."
Xu Yiyu nodded and returned the greeting to Zhou Zhishan.
"Then I'll trouble Miss Zhishan to lead the way."
Zhou Zhishan did not show any dissatisfaction with Xu Yiyu's address on his face. He just walked in another direction gracefully and led the way.
Xu Yiyu walked behind Zhou Zhishan holding Lu Sanshi's arm, with waves of sighs in his heart.
If Zhou Zhiyu's situation can be described, to use a not-so-appropriate metaphor, as one in which good bamboo produces bad shoots, then Zhou Zhishan's performance today seemed like that of a normal child from an aristocratic family.
I don't know why Zhou Fu came to see me today. If I think about it, there was actually no obvious disagreement between her and Zhou Zhiyu yesterday. It was just that classmate Sanshi indirectly caused Zhou Zhiyu to make a fool of himself.
The way to Box 2 is neither too short nor too long.
——At least long enough for Xu Yiyu to roughly judge some of Zhou Zhishan’s past experiences by observing her gait and posture.
The second young lady of the Zhou family is actually a hidden martial artist.
Zhou Zhishan's resume was very detailed and impressive, but there was no information suggesting that she had ever practiced martial arts.
Xu Yiyu and the others had been walking behind Zhou Zhishan, so they could naturally see that although the second daughter of the Zhou family, who had a dignified and elegant demeanor, was wearing high heels, her body's center of gravity was still stable, and her lower body was basically as solid as a rock.
Zhou Zhishan's calves are well-proportioned and toned. Although laymen may not be able to see it, people who practice martial arts can tell at a glance that all the muscle lines in her legs show signs of long-term training.
"Ms. Xu, Mr. Lu, please come in. I won't go in."
After Zhou Zhishan fulfilled his obligation to lead the way, he nodded to the two of them tactfully. After receiving Xu Yiyu's response, he turned around and walked downstairs.
Although the door of Box No. 2 was ajar, Xu Yiyu still knocked on the door a few times out of courtesy.
"Is this Chairman Xu? Please come in."
Xu Yiyu was not familiar with the voice of the person inside the door, but she was sure that this voice was definitely not Zhou Fu's.
In order to ensure the safety of his baby, Lu Sanshi hesitated and pushed open the door of the box.
But the face that appeared in the room made him tremble subconsciously the moment he saw it clearly.
Xu Yiyu was only one step behind Lu Sanshi, so he naturally saw that person as well.
She hadn't felt truly shocked for a long time, but at this moment she was stunned where she was.
"Chairman Xu, nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you."
