Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

After receiving the order, Wang Feng stood up immediately. Caught between the two people's undercurrent of obliviousness, he wanted to leave this Shura scene as soon as possible.

"Are you going to the auction?"

As soon as the door behind Wang Feng closed, Tang Wenwan fell headfirst onto Jiang Kaichen's lap and confirmed it coquettishly, regardless of past grudges.

Although I felt less and less confused as I ate more of this afternoon's melon, my desire to watch the fun was not diminished in the slightest.

"See if you behave well at dinner tonight."

After roughly understanding the whole story, Jiang Kaichen now turned his attention back to Tang Wenwan.

Looking at the plate of oranges that she had eaten so few of, but had ate beyond recognition, he felt that getting this girl to get more nutrition would be more difficult than anything else.

"Wow, the auction room and the studio are on the same floor. I didn't even notice it before."

The auction hall is located on the first floor below the casino, sharing an entire independent space with the exhibition hall and studio.

During the day, the doors and windows of the entire auction hall are closed and not open to the public. Only at a specific time at night, when the auction begins, will the auction hall provide a special reception for specially invited VIP guests.

The entrance to the auction hall is clearly different from the entrance to the cruise ship casino.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the casino, the auction hall gives people an elegant and solemn atmosphere.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Jiang, please follow me!"

The exclusive butler was still waiting for them at the door. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time and greeted them warmly from a distance.

The butler led them through the door of the auction hall and entered the collection exhibition area first.

It was only then that Tang Wenwan discovered that there were two areas, A and B, on this exhibition hall. The one she saw in the afternoon was the works exhibition hall that matched the studio, while the one now was obviously an art exhibition hall specially built for auction items.

Compared with the exhibition hall that was fully open in the afternoon, not only was the security level of this exhibition hall obviously upgraded by several levels, but the display in the entire hall was also more professional.

The artworks that are about to be auctioned are quietly displayed in the display cabinets. In the saturated and mysterious light, people visiting the exhibition unconsciously slow down their footsteps.

"These are the collections of this auction. You can learn about them in the brochure first. If you are most interested in a collection, you can notify me in advance and report it to the auction team first."

When the butler noticed that Tang Wenwan's eyes were attracted by the booklets in other guests' hands, he quickly handed her an exquisite manual.

Tang Wenwan opened the handbook and found that it detailed the historical background, collection profile, market valuation, etc. of each auction item. The types and grades of the collections in it were not inferior to the auction specifications of any auction house on land.

The auction started at 9pm, and by 8:30pm many guests had begun to pour into the collection exhibition hall.

"Our cruise auctions have attracted great attention from the public because of the occasional appearance of rare items that are not available on the market. Many people have taken this cruise specifically just to attend the auction."

The butler whispered an introduction beside her, which refreshed Tang Wenwan's understanding of the ship.

"How about you two follow me to the VIP area to rest for a while. The auction will start soon."

As time went by, more and more people came into the exhibition hall. Although Tang Wenwan was still wandering among the exhibits with great interest, the housekeeper had keenly observed that Jiang Kaichen was clearly beginning to look annoyed.

In a private room on the side of the exhibition hall is a rest area specially set up for exclusive VIPs who have paid a pre-sale deposit.

This area leads directly to the first row of bidding areas at the auction site, where there are exclusive tea and snacks, as well as communication and consultation services from specialized identification experts in various categories.

"Orange juice for this lady."

As soon as she sat down, the butler thoughtfully served Tang Wenwan a drink that she could drink. He was particularly impressed by the fact that he was scolded for an hour by the service director for the mistake he made in the afternoon.

"That person is Mr. Zhang Yunlin, a famous art historian. He served as the director of a national museum in Country A for many years. After Mr. Zhang retired, he was rehired to our cruise ship to be responsible for the curation of the exhibition hall and the management of the auction."

Seeing that Tang Wenwan had no interest in orange juice, Jiang Kaichen raised his eyebrows again, and hurriedly tried to please her to liven up the atmosphere.

"I see that Miss is more interested in paintings just now. It just so happens that Mr. Zhang has a deep understanding of the historical research and artistic attainments of famous paintings. If you are interested, I can introduce you to have a chat."

Although this lady is a mysterious person with no information in the entire VIP file, she is the one that Mr. Jiang, the president, specifically asks to serve and treats the top VVVIP guests with great care. The housekeeper is very practical and puts all his attention on her.

"Grandpa Zhang?" Tang Wenwan looked over in surprise following the housekeeper's introduction.

In the distance, an old man in a Chinese robe was surrounded by a group of people, who seemed to be asking him something.

"Do you still remember this Grandpa Zhang? You should have met him at my house back then. He and my grandfather were close friends, but unfortunately they fell out because of me."

Tang Wenwan huddled her whole body behind Jiang Kaichen and hid herself. She clung to his back and watched to see if she was discovered by Mr. Zhang while carefully explaining everything to him.

Jiang Kaichen bent his lips and gave the butler a look that said "You can leave now", then turned around, hugged the man in his arms and said with a smile:

"So you are afraid too!"

"Yes, after you left, I no longer had the mood to paint. I pissed off Grandpa Zhang, who said that my grandfather indulged my willfulness and caused the world to lose an artist!"

As she said this, she glanced at Zhang Lao guiltily, then hid in Jiang Kaichen's arms again, and said guiltily:

"Because of me, he stopped communicating with my grandfather!"

Jiang Kaichen took her into his arms and gently stroked her head like a puppy:

"Yes, because of me, the world almost lost an artist. Mr. Zhang is right!"

"Mr. Zhang, you didn't hire him back on purpose, did you?"

Tang Wenwan suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up and asked.

"Yes, now all the auction venues, exhibition halls and studios of the cruise group are under his management."

Jiang Kaichen nodded in acknowledgment.

"Because of his appreciation for you, and because only he knows what kind of studio and exhibition hall should be built for you."

"Ah~oh~"

Tang Wenwan felt inexplicably warm in her heart. This man could love you to such detail and could do this for you without showing any emotion.

"But~ I'm still a little afraid of seeing him~"

The feeling of being touched lasted only a second, and Tang Wenwan still shrank back guiltily and whispered.

Back then, these two old men had quarreled at home more than once because of her.

Although this old man has never said a harsh word to me, his appreciation and expectations for me have always been very important and have been calling me in his heart.

"It's been ten years. We are no longer the same as we were back then. How can the old man recognize us? If you are embarrassed to face him, we will just not recognize him for now."

Jiang Kaichen was once again refreshed by Tang Wenwan's uneasy look in his arms, and was glad again for his decision to invite Zhang back. Everything about her was like a Pandora's box, with endless surprises.
