On the morning of the auction, Maki greeted Nakaya and said that he was going to stay at a friend's house for the night.

Because Maki hardly talks about things in school at home, so Chuya was a little surprised when she first heard that she had made friends who could stay overnight.

"Be careful," he reminded, "If you want to go out to play at night, remember to go back early."

Maki responded and walked out the door.

Fortunately, it was Friday, and Xiongying left school after one o'clock in the afternoon because the teachers had a meeting.

Maki felt that this time can be said to be very generous, but Saki Fujiwara was very dissatisfied: "It's too late—why isn't this damn auction held on the weekend."

Maki blinked: "But, isn't the auction officially starting at nine o'clock in the evening?"

Besides, the day before that, she asked Fujiwara to deliver the pot of bluegrass to the auction venue.

The person from the organizer said that it seemed to meet their standards, but the specific pricing would have to wait for their appraiser to see it.

When the price is set, I will confirm it with Maki after she arrives at the auction site.

Because the auction time for precious plants is in the middle of the auction two hours after the auction starts, she doesn't even need to go there in advance.

Saki Fujiwara raised her eyebrows and glared at her: "Are you kidding me? It takes half an hour from here to my house, and another half hour from my house to the venue—this way the time for dressing up is only six hours!"

Maki: "Six hours isn't enough?"

Saki Fujiwara: "If it wasn't because I have to go to class today, I should start picking out clothes and putting on make-up in the morning."

Maki let out a "hiss".

It took so long, is this makeup or painted skin?

Maki: "But, isn't there a Venetian theme in this auction—they won't even show their faces."

According to Maki's thinking, it's almost enough to put on lipstick in this case.

Fujiwara Saki rolled her eyes: "Are you a woman?"

Maki silently shut up.

Of course she is not against dressing up.

Just like an ordinary girl, she is quite loyal to it-to cover her dark circles, she has to use a tube of concealer for a month, and she usually rolls up her school uniform skirt a little when she goes to school.

It's just that the organizer of this auction has a lot of messy ideas.

For example, this time, in addition to formal attire, there is also the requirement of "wearing a Venetian-style" mask. It is said that the rich man in the organizer has recently become obsessed with Venetian culture - there is also a very strange rule, the auction After the start, all participants in the venue were not allowed to speak, and electronic boards were used for bidding instead of bids.

Maki's dressing concept is limited to "ordinary girls", so naturally she will not strive for perfection like Fujiwara Saki.

However, Saki Fujiwara seems to believe that Maki has a straight head, and on the way to her house, he emphasized countless times that he will listen to her today-Maki can't do anything about her.

When he heard that it would take six hours to paint the skin, Hitomi Mishima flinched instantly and found an excuse to slip away.

If she hadn't insisted on going today, Maki would also like to slip away.

The high-end imported car stopped slowly.

The driver opened the door and said to Fujiwara, "Miss, we're here."

When Maki got out of the car, he froze for a moment.

If it is said that the villas in Zhongye are "exclusively for the local tyrants", then the house in front of me...to be precise, the manor in front of me, obviously cannot be described by the superficial word "local tyrants". generalized.

Fujiwara proudly introduced to them: "My father found a relationship and invited the designer of the Suzuki consortium to design the manor—you know the Suzuki family, right?"

Of course Maki knew.

He is a big chaebol who doesn't know how rich he is - Tokyo's landmark BELLTURE Tower is their family's private property.

She knew that Fujiwara was rich, but she didn't expect her to be so rich—for example, she had an entire room of dresses alone, and Maki roughly calculated that there were at least twenty sets.

Fujiwara Saki took a few glances at Maki, then found out a red dress and a dark blue dress, gestured at her, and chose the latter.

"You're so pale," she said, "you'll have to have the beautician do a good job of it later."

Maki thought, what's wrong with just showing her chin—but Fujiwara ignored her, and called a servant to help Maki change her clothes.

This was followed by up to five hours of makeup and hairdos.

Saki Fujiwara even has a special beautician at home. He is a young man with a feminine appearance. It is said that he won the grand prize in some competition before.

After discussing with Fujiwara, the beautician braided Maki's shoulder-length hair into a beautiful princess head.

"It's beautiful," the beautician patted Maki on the shoulder, "You're already beautiful—"

He pulled Maki to the mirror.

System: [...Wow, people depend on their clothes. 】

Maki stared blankly at herself in the mirror—although Maki was almost like an airplane board, the dress was well cut and couldn't be seen at all.The design of the dress was probably inspired by the starry sky, and the color gradually deepened from top to bottom, until the hem of the skirt turned into an ink-like deep blue.

The wide skirt is studded with broken diamonds and pearls, shining under the lights, like a summer night sky.

On the feet are dark blue high-heeled sandals designed with a skirt-there is a long tie on the side, which perfectly outlines the girl's slender and fair ankles.

Fujiwara Saki was also a little stunned, and it took a while to realize that someone brought the mask prepared in advance.

Maki is given a carnival mask with large patches of gold around the eye sockets.

After putting on the mask, Maki's cold and alienated temperament was fully revealed.As long as she stood there, she seemed very far away.

Fujiwara came back to his senses and said, "It's beautiful."

She glanced at the time, and it was already 07:30 in the evening - it would be too late if she didn't go out.

So he hurriedly lifted the hem of his beige dress, and pulled Maki out.

Although Maki is wearing high heels, she still walks fast.

When we arrived at the auction venue, the auction hadn't officially started yet.

When reporting the location of their boxes to the front desk, the staff members looked at each other and said to Maki: "Miss, our appraiser wants to see you."

Maki is a little nervous-could there be something wrong with Lancao?

The appraiser's office is on the top floor.

Because Saki Fujiwara also has something she wants to buy, and the auction should start as soon as the auction starts, so Maki asked her to go to their box first and wait.

Then I was taken to the top floor by the staff.

The appraiser is an old gentleman who is not tall.It seemed that he had been waiting for her early in the morning. When he saw her, he stood up and shook hands with her: "My surname is Juchi."

Mr. Juchi raised his head with sharp eyes: "You are the owner of that pot of orchid grass? You look so young."

He looked at Maki.Because she was wearing a mask, she couldn't see her face, just judging from the way she looked... probably not younger than 20 years old, but not more than 30 years old either.

Maki nodded.

Mr. Kikuchi smiled: "The auction hasn't officially started yet, so you can talk now—and with me, you don't have to worry about the messy rules set by that old boy."

Judging from his tone, he probably knew the weird organizer.

Shinji said, "What's the problem?"

Ju Chi shook his head: "No problem. To be precise - this pot of orchid grass is so good."

He asked someone to take out the bluegrass: "The variety itself is not cheap, and the cultivation method is really clever-have you studied it?"

Maki shook her head.

She was a little guilty - in fact, she was cheating, after all, this pot of bluegrass was grown with personality.

Fortunately, after experimenting before, after leaving Hitomi Mishima's personality, it may be because of a good foundation, so the growth of the plants will not be a problem in the future.

"You don't want to say it, and I don't force it." Apparently thinking it was some kind of commercial secret, Juchi said, "It's just that we want to ask for your opinion and use this pot of bluegrass as a warm-up before the finale."

Maki frowned: "The final product?"

"Don't you know?" Kikuchi opened a tablet next to it, and showed a photo on it to Maki, "This is it."

The diamond in the photo is shining brightly, and two Chinese characters are written in red next to it: "Truth".

"It is said that the person who gets this diamond can see the truth," Kikuchi shrugged. "Of course, it's just an urban legend."

But Maki felt that he was a little inexplicably worried.

But she's too lazy to meddle in other things.He agreed to Juchi's request, and then asked, "So, how much do you price my bluegrass?"

Kikuchi said hesitantly: "The starting price is 500 million... Do you think it is low? But we predict that the actual auction price will be at least twice that."

He looked at the young woman in front of him.Maki's facial expression didn't change at all, she looked calm and calm: "No problem."

However, Maki is actually screaming at the system groundhog: "Four Four, I'm rich!"

That's 1000 million!

Even if it had to be distributed to Hitomi Mishima and Saki Fujiwara—then there would still be a few million left in her pocket.

Straight out of the abject poverty class!

It took Maki almost all her endurance to not lose her composure in front of Kikuchi.She bid farewell to Kikuchi, and when she walked out the door, her pace became faster and faster because she was in a happy mood.

Because his head is full of 1000 million, Maki doesn't pay much attention to the person in front of him.

As a result, before entering the venue, she bumped into someone.

Because she was wearing high heels, she became unsteady and fell to the ground.

Maki looked up painfully.

The one who bumped into her was a man in black, wearing a silver mask, and a hat with a long brim covering his hair.

The man held out a hand to her.Thin black gloves were worn on the hands.

He didn't speak - Maki realized that the auction had probably already started, and the organizer's weird rules had come into effect.

When being lifted up, Maki was a little confused.

... For some reason, she felt that this man gave her a little familiar feeling - it seemed, a bit like Mr. Chuya.

but.

Maki calculated her current height, and with high heels, she could be 1.6 meters.

However, after standing up, this man is still half a head taller than her.

...Probably an illusion, Maki thought.

After all, Mr. Nakaya is not that tall at all.

The author has something to say:

Because it's not just Maki who wears heightened.
