"Brother Ye, does this snobbery make you unhappy?"
Zhao Xiaoyang walked forward with a sneer and kicked Manager Wang hard.
"Is this the Zhao family's property?" Ye Lan asked.
"It's not worth mentioning, it's just to kill time on weekdays!"
Zhao Xiaoyang replied with a smile.
Ye Lan nodded, pointed at Manager Wang who was kneeling on the ground and said, "He betrayed the customer's information and disturbed my rest. You can do whatever you want!"
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyang's expression changed drastically.
Not to mention that Ye Lan was Mr. Zhao's savior, even any other guest would never tolerate this situation.
"Drag him down and destroy him!"
Zhao Xiaoyang roared fiercely.
Manager Wang's expression changed drastically. He had been in the auction house for many years and had already developed a duplicitous character when it came to delivering goods.
But I didn't expect that I would hit a brick wall today.
The next second, he put his hands on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, it's me who can't see Taishan! Please spare me!"
Seeing that Ye Lan was expressionless and indifferent, he kowtowed desperately to Zhao Xiaoyang again.
"Second Young Master, I have worked hard for the auction house for so many years, you can't just kill the donkey to take advantage of me!"
Zhao Xiaoyang said coldly: "Wang Haiyan, don't think I don't know. You have colluded with the appraiser several times, causing the auction house to lose at least tens of millions!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you have worked for so many years, I would have told you to pack up and get out!"
Manager Wang didn't expect that the tricks he had done would be discovered early, and he was immediately stunned.
Seeing that his begging for mercy was unsuccessful, he simply cursed fiercely.
"Ye, Zhao, if you dare to touch me, Brother Ba will never let you go!"
He still wanted to curse, but several bodyguards had already swarmed him.
He was quickly dragged out.
Ye Lan's stern face relaxed slightly.
Zhao Xiaoyang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man had given a death order to repair the relationship between him and Ye Lan.
"Brother Ye, the door of this private room is broken. How about I replace it for you?"
Zhao Xiaoyang said in a flattering manner.
Ye Lan nodded silently.
Immediately, Second Young Master Zhao transformed into a waiter, bowed to greet Ye Lan and walked towards the largest box.
...
This time, the boxes are not numbered and provide better privacy.
Zhao Xiaoyang poured tea for Ye Lan himself and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, I'm so sorry this time!"
"In this way, just say hello to whatever you like, and it will be all on my little brother!"
Ye Lan picked up the tea, nodded slightly and said, "No, I just came to take a look!"
He really just looked!
Although the blood lotus is good, he has no use for it.
I came here today just to investigate the person behind the auction of the blood lotus.
Just now he had obtained the information he wanted.
The consignor is Du Ba.
As long as you keep an eye on Du Ba and follow the clues, you will definitely find traces of the person behind the scenes.
Zhao Xiaoyang only regarded him as being polite and said repeatedly: "Then take a look. If there is anything you like, my little brother will definitely help you get it!"
Ye Lan hummed noncommittally, and then looked at the auction table through the glass.
The auction has begun.
The first auction item was very ordinary, and the transaction price was only a mere 100,000.
Then came the second one.
The transaction price was also not high, not even 100,000.
After auctioning several items in a row, Ye Lan finally got a clue.
The quality of this auction is not high, but the blood lotus stands out among the lot.
This was obviously a deliberate design by the people behind the scenes. The Blood Lotus was enough to be a gimmick, and the low-end auction ensured that ordinary people could also participate.
They really had ulterior motives.
Ye Lan has no interest in these auction items.
In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, he still bought a jade pendant at a premium.
For this reason, he bid wildly, looking determined to win, which aroused Zhao Xiaoyang's doubts!
Could it be that this jade pendant is an eye-catcher, but is actually a rare treasure?
However, he didn't say anything.
Without waiting for Ye Lan's instructions, he directly asked someone to deliver the auction items to the box in advance.
The jade pendant is not precious, but it has been warmed and nourished by someone before, and it has some soothing and sleep-promoting effects.
...
Next, Ye Lan was playing with the jade pendant while chatting with Zhao Xiaoyang.
It wasn't until Blood Lotus came on stage that he cast his gaze.
"Next is the grand finale of this auction - Blood Lotus!"
"You may not know that this blood lotus is almost extinct, and the ones that still exist are handed down! Almost all of them are passed down in aristocratic families and rarely appear on the market!"
"This alone shows how precious the blood lotus is!"
“I won’t introduce much else, let’s start bidding!”
After a brief introduction by the host, the bidding started immediately.
The starting bid is one million!
Also a fantastic price!
The actual value of the blood lotus is at least 100 million.
This one is still hard to find.
The hall suddenly became lively.
The bidding went up one after another, and soon it climbed to five million.
"Five million, guest No. 13 bids five million, is there anything higher?" the host shouted, holding up a hammer.
There was silence in the hall.
These people have only heard that blood lotus is valuable and do not understand the specific value at all.
What's more, with limited strength, he would not pay a big price to buy an item that he didn't know the use of.
At this moment, a clear female voice came from Box 10.
"I'll give you 10 million!"
Ye Lan frowned in confusion.
The voice was very familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.
Immediately afterwards, he reacted.
Wang Ruoyan!
She obviously didn't believe everything she said, and still wanted to take a picture of the blood lotus.
The value increased by 5 million, which shocked everyone at once.
Guest No. 13 gritted his teeth and added another million.
She was immediately suppressed by Wang Ruoyan.
"Twelve million!"
Her voice came from the box, sounding extremely decisive.
Ye Lan smiled softly. He didn't expect that the young woman he met by chance on the train was actually a rich woman.
It can be seen that she is determined to win the Blood Lotus!
Just when everyone thought that Blood Lotus would be accepted by Box 10, another arrogant voice came from Box 7.
"I'll pay 13 million!"
It was Du Ba who made the bid.
Wang Ruoyan seemed a little caught off guard and immediately raised the price and shouted: "Fourteen million!"
"One thousand and five!" Du Ba's voice was neither urgent nor slow.
Wang Ruoyan looked a little angry and quoted again: "Sixteen million!"
"One thousand and seven!" Du Ba pressed forward step by step.
This time, Wang Ruoyan hesitated and paused for a long time before shouting: "I'll add another hundred thousand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Ba's voice came out immediately, "17.2 million!"
"Sir, the Blood Lotus is very important to me, please give it to me!" Wang Ruoyan suddenly shouted.
"Okay! Come to box 7 to accompany me!" Du Ba's frivolous voice also came.
There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
After a long pause, Wang Ruoyan quoted again.
"Seventeen million three hundred thousand!"
Her voice was a little lower, as if it was squeezed out from between her teeth.
As if he realized that he had reached his limit, Du Ba did not call out the price anymore, but teased: "I'll let you go, remember to come over and thank me later!"
Wang Ruoyan snorted coldly, ignored it, and stood up quickly.
After paying the balance as quickly as possible and getting the items, she couldn't wait to leave the auction house.
However, just as she was leaving, a commercial vehicle followed her.
