The auction is set to start at 8pm.
At 7:30, the waiter handed out the auction brochure.
The above are all introductions to the antiques in this auction.
Chu Youshu stared at the dazzling array of shareholders, his eyes gradually brightening, but Ye Lan fell asleep.
Before I knew it, the time had reached 8:10.
The guests gradually became confused, and some people shouted dissatisfiedly: "When will it start?"
Upon seeing this, Ying Lao hurriedly walked into the small pavilion, with a smile on his face, bent down and apologized.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. There is another distinguished guest who has not arrived. Please forgive me!"
"To express my apology, I will arrange for someone to give each of you a small gift later."
These words immediately triggered everyone's dissatisfaction.
"What kind of distinguished guest are you? I have spent no less than 30 million in Deguhang over the years, and you want me to wait for a stranger?"
"That's right, everyone is here for the auction, not for dinner. Who is so proud?"
"Can the auction still start? If not, I'll leave!"
"Who is so proud? He asked me to wait!"
Mr. Ying smiled and apologized repeatedly, but the guests were too aggressive.
He could only say helplessly: "It's Miss Manli."
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
The bald middle-aged man who had made the loudest noise just now frowned and asked, "Is this Miss Manli from the ladies' reception in Beijing last month?"
Ying Lao smiled bitterly, "Yes!"
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Even the bald middle-aged man shut his mouth angrily.
Obviously, many people know Manli's identity and are extremely afraid of it.
Of course, many people were not sure about this and quickly asked the people around them in a low voice.
"Miss Manli? Which family are you from?"
"No, she...she's not from a certain family."
"Then why is everyone so afraid of her?"
The person being asked immediately shut up and seemed to be secretive about it. No matter how he asked, he just didn't speak.
Finally, the bald middle-aged man grunted dissatisfiedly.
"What kind of lady? She's just a real lady. She just hangs with Kaizi and shows off her power."
As soon as he finished speaking, the garden suddenly became quiet.
Then, a cold and lazy voice sounded.
"Are all the customers at Deguhang of such low quality?"
Everyone immediately looked towards the entrance.
I saw a charming woman wearing a cheongsam and a purple fox fur shawl walking in with a cold face.
Seeing the person coming, Mr. Ying immediately ran up with a smile, "Miss Manli, are you here?"
Manli stretched out her hand to stop him from speaking, looked at the pale middle-aged bald man with cold eyes, and said calmly: "Kneel down!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead unknowingly.
His face was full of struggle.
Being able to participate in the shareholder auction means that he is naturally a reputable person.
How can you accept kneeling down to a woman in front of so many people?
After only a brief hesitation, he stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Miss Manli, I'm sorry!"
Manli narrowed her eyes slightly, "That's it?"
The middle-aged man was startled, his face full of confusion, and he was obviously extremely angry.
But Manli just said a few words, and he slapped her hard.
"My Dehong will also come and take a look later. Do you want me to convey your words to him?"
The middle-aged man had hot sweat rolling down his forehead and immediately slapped himself desperately.
"Miss Manli, I'm a bitch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
After a dozen slaps without mercy, Manli smiled with satisfaction.
However, her smile quickly solidified again.
Everyone present looked at her in awe, but a man and a woman at the square table in the center were grabbing various cakes and snacks on the table and devouring them, as if they didn't care at all.
She frowned slightly, stepped on high heels, and walked slowly over with cat steps.
"You've soiled my table!"
When the arrogant voice came, Ye Lan and Chu Youshu, who were immersed in the delicious food, immediately turned their heads.
Seeing Manli, Ye Lan pointed to the table in the other corner nonchalantly, "There's a clean one there."
Manli laughed angrily when she heard this, "Don't you know who I am?"
"I know! Your name is Manli!" Chu Youshu chewed the chicken feet and said vaguely.
Manli was a little crazy, "I know you still dare to do this to me?"
Chu Youshu was stunned for a moment, moved to the side, and stretched out his greasy hands to symbolically wipe the stool.
"Then sit here!"
Manli laughed angrily. She finally understood that these two people had no idea who she was or what she had done.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Mr. Ying immediately bowed and said, "Miss Manli, how about I set up a table for you in the center?"
Manli's face was livid, but because her identity made it difficult to get angry, she immediately yelled: "Why don't you hurry up?"
Ying Lao did not dare to show any displeasure, and immediately made arrangements with a smile on his face.
Manli seemed determined to give Ye Lan and the two some trouble, instructing the waiter to block the table in front of them.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated again.
The two of them didn't care at all.
At this moment, Ye Lan just wanted to finish the auction quickly and then go back and have a good rest.
All Chu Youshu's attention is on the food.
She already knew the rules here, so she came here without dinner and ate non-stop for several hours.
Even though it was just a snack, I was very full.
Seeing the arrival of the most important guest, the auction was finally held as scheduled.
Ying Lao stood in the pavilion and began to introduce.
The first item is a piece of blue and white porcelain, which is considered top-grade both in terms of appearance and shape.
The crowd immediately became excited;
"I'll pay five million!"
"I have six million!"
"I'm seven hundred!"
Even the middle-aged man with a swollen face joined the bidding.
"I'll pay 12 million."
He shouted carelessly, seemingly not caring about what he had just experienced.
Twelve million has seriously exceeded the actual value.
The others immediately stopped playing, but Manli said leisurely: "I will pay 12 million and one yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the garden suddenly became quiet.
Mr. Ying looked embarrassed and whispered: "Miss Manli, our rule is that each price increase must not be less than 100,000."
Manli picked up the tea cup on the table and glanced at Mr. Ying slowly.
"I think your rule is that I can add one piece at a time."
Everyone understood that this was an excuse to vent their dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, the bald middle-aged man could only apologize and laugh.
"That's it, that's it! Mr. Ying, give this item to Miss Manli! I'll pay for it!"
The ensuing auction began to feel lifeless.
Whenever someone makes an offer, Manli always adds a piece.
After several times in succession, everyone began to become silent, and items continued to fail to be auctioned.
Ying Lao's face also looked a little ugly, so he could only move out the final three-color porcelain.
As soon as he took the stage, Chu Youshu's voice immediately sounded.
"Five million, I'll pay five million!"
"Five million and one." Manli spoke again.
Just when everyone thought that this time it would be destroyed by Manli just like the previous times.
Ye Lan spoke.
"Twenty million."
No one thought that Chu Youshu and Ye Lan would dare to resist.
For a moment, everyone opened their mouths.
