Looking at Shangguan Xue beside him, Xu Lang realized for the first time that he had underestimated her.
She knows people from all walks of life in Shanghai and seems to be very familiar with them. It's not just because she is the illegitimate daughter of the Shangguan family.
Judging from the way Shangguan Xue treated the carving master before, Xu Lang vaguely guessed that Shangguan Xue was not simple.
Now this conjecture has been further confirmed.
The girl in front of him was an ambitious person, and probably quite ambitious.
But Xu Lang didn't care, because this person was now his ally.
"Thank you so much, Xue'er!"
Xu Lang and Shangguan Xue found a corner and talked.
Shangguan Xue stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth without caring about her image, while Xu Lang looked at the Coke.
But he also knew in his heart that this was a sign that Shangguan Xue believed in himself.
So when they spoke, their tone became much more intimate.
Shangguan Xue didn't seem to object, but was very happy. She stammered, "It doesn't matter. I haven't repaid you all the favors I owe you!"
After taking a sip of the champagne handed to her by Xu Lang, Shangguan Xue continued, "I have not yet repaid the favor I owe you. If that piece of material can help me shine at my grandfather's birthday party and make him recognize me, then I can bring you more benefits."
Shangguan Xue speaks very bluntly.
But Xu Lang didn't care.
"Okay, we're already friends anyway, just come to me if you need anything!"
"Okay! My friend, the auction is about to start, let's go!"
After Shangguan Xue finished eating, she naturally took Xu Lang's arm.
Xu Lang smiled knowingly, and the two of them walked towards the auction site.
The invitation letters all have seat numbers, so the seating arrangements for this auction are naturally very particular.
The people of the Shangguan family and some important figures in the Demon City all sat in the front seats.
Shangguan Xue didn't know how she managed to arrange herself and Xu Lang to sit in the third row.
This position can be considered to be very forward.
When I first arrived, I saw Liu Lao from the Tianji Association sitting in the seventh or eighth row.
When he saw Xu Lang, Liu Lao greeted him warmly, especially after seeing his position.
Liu Lao looked at Xu Lang deeply.
Soon, the auction began.
Someone from the Shangguan family went up and said a few words, followed by some high-level officials from the Magic City.
After all, this is also performance.
The host then took out the previous collection and started the auction.
There was nothing that cost less than one million. And the transaction speed was also very fast, because it was a charity auction, there was no malicious bidding and disputes.
Almost everyone is on the same page, and there are very few quarrels.
Even if two people really like each other at the same time, after looking at each other and seeing the other's identity, one of them will automatically back out.
This was quite interesting, and Xu Lang was watching it with great interest.
Soon, an item familiar to Xu Lang appeared, the real estate certificate in the Mediterranean area that the bearded man had taken out earlier.
Sure enough, the starting price was 40 million.
After a round of bidding, the price reached more than 60 million.
At this time, Xu Lang raised the sign. "Eighty million!"
This price is obviously a bit high.
No one raised the price, and Xu Lang successfully bought the house.
Xu Lang's appearance is very outstanding, at least among this group of big guys.
Those who had seen Xu Lang at the donation site before naturally recognized him.
Especially the bearded man, who even teased Xu Lang.
Now seeing Xu Lang's financial resources, he was speechless at this time.
There are also some people, those who had exchanged contact information with Xu Lang before, who also had a deeper memory of him after seeing Xu Lang.
"What a generosity, Mr. Xu! You bought this villa, don't tell me you want to keep your mistress in it!"
Shangguan Xue was also teasing Xu Lang.
Xu Lang smiled, but still explained solemnly: "Didn't I tell you before that I'm from the countryside, and I can't afford to play the extravagant things that you city people do? I bought this house because my parents are both farmers, especially the land at home where we grow rice. They soak in water three times a year, and their legs and feet are not in good condition. So this house is for them to go there for vacation."
Xu Lang's words were sincere and he faced his own background directly.
Shangguan Xue felt some indescribable emotions in her heart. Before Xu Lang said that he was from the countryside, Shangguan Xue didn't care much.
I didn't think of it now
Although she came from a good family, she had never enjoyed any kind of family affection.
In fact, a big part of my ambition is to get my father's attention.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, Shangguan Xue still felt like something was missing in her heart. Now, after hearing Xu Lang's words, she could only whisper, "Xu Lang, you're really good to your parents!"
Seeing Shangguan Xue's lost look, Xu Lang suddenly remembered that Shangguan Xue's background was not glorious. Wouldn't it be hurtful for him to say these things?
Xu Lang felt a little sorry for her, but this was not the place to talk about that.
Just at this time, the things Shangguan Xue sent for auction had already been bought by someone, and Xu Lang's things were about to arrive.
"It's my turn, it's my turn. You want to know what I'm delivering!"
Xu Lang poked Shangguan Xue and finally diverted her attention and skipped this topic.
In fact, Shangguan Xue has gotten used to it over the years, but for some reason, she can't hide her feelings in front of Xu Lang now.
Following this step, he put all these bullshit things back in his heart and looked towards the auction table with great interest.
After all, she had seen Xu Lang's abilities and knew that the request he made when registering just now was definitely not just for show.
But Xu Lang liked to keep people in suspense and did not tell Shangguan Xue why.
The emcee at the auction table was wearing a blue cheongsam with a light white auspicious cloud pattern on it, which fit in with the atmosphere here.
She is a TV host and was temporarily transferred here to host.
But when the host saw the script, he was also stunned.
After all, the starting price of this auction item is much higher than before.
"Okay, now we have the next item."
Hearing the host's words, the staff member cooperated and came up carrying the glass box containing Xu Lang's bracelet.
The camera was pointed at the bracelet, and its image was projected onto the screen behind the emcee.
At that moment, a beautiful, exquisitely carved bracelet appeared before everyone's eyes.
Especially the auspicious phoenix, which looks like it is about to fly down from the bracelet.
The host gasped when she saw the bracelet up close, as she rarely saw such collections.
Many people in the audience were eager to try, especially the ladies.
Brothers, this chapter is wrong, don't subscribe
In fact, it is understandable that those who took out jewelry were all beautiful ladies.
The man standing in front of Xu Lang was a big bearded man. Xu Lang was a little curious about what the man would put up for auction.
watch?
The bearded man took out a stack of paper certificates and handed them to the staff politely.
"Hello, this is mine. A villa near the Mediterranean!"
The bearded man looked around proudly after saying this. Yes, if he didn't say it, no one would know what those certificates were.
Sure enough, as soon as the bearded man finished speaking, there was an uproar around him.
Many beautiful women or young ladies who had just completed the formalities and had not yet left cast their eyes on the bearded man.
Those present are naturally familiar with the Mediterranean Sea. The climate there is mild and very suitable for retirement.
It is also a good choice to go on vacation or something like that.
A villa like this would cost at least 50 million yuan, and you can’t just buy it.
After all, setting up business overseas is very troublesome unless you have your own company there.
Xu Lang knew clearly that the bearded man donated his property only to reveal two points.
First, he was not short of money. Second, he at least had a multinational company.
The bearded man obviously enjoyed the looks from people around him. After donating, he did not leave but stayed where he was.
"I'll go first!"
Shangguan Xue also took out an item, a diamond necklace, which was also very valuable.
But it seems somewhat ordinary.
"Xu Lang, what do you want to donate?" Shangguan Xue looked at Xu Lang with some curiosity.
In her opinion, Xu Lang's appraisal skills were so high before, and he was also one of the Seventh Master of the Tianji Association. No matter how poor the things he produced were, they would be better than hers.
Xu Lang did not waste time, after all, there were still many people queuing behind him.
He took out the donation item he had prepared from his pocket - a warm yellow jade bracelet with a phoenix outlined with gold and silver threads, so beautiful!
Shangguan Xue was stunned. The phoenix seemed to be able to fly out of the bracelet at any time. It looked so lifelike.
The exclamations of the people around her could not cease to reach Shangguan Xue's ears.
But soon, Shangguan Xue heard a clicking sound.
"This thing is well made, but the material is"
"Yes, it's obvious that it was made by a master. Why did he use it on this material? It's a waste."
“Could it be a jade that we don’t recognize?”
"How is that possible? My family is in the jade business."
Listening to the sounds around her, Shangguan Xue finally noticed the material of the bracelet. She also discovered that the material was of very poor quality.
I don’t know why Xu Lang came up with such a bracelet.
"Sir, do you need a floor price and a ceiling price for your bracelet?"
The staff was still very polite and asked in a formal manner.
Because it is not a formal auction, guests can set the starting price for their own collections.
The staff also asked this question to those who had just come to donate.
"Let's say the base price is 10 million. As for the ceiling, let's say 100 million. It's first come, first served. Whoever bids that high first will be considered lucky!"
After Xu Lang finished speaking, the staff were a little surprised, but out of professionalism, they quickly helped Xu Lang record it.
But the bearded man who didn't leave laughed.
"Young man, are you planning to send it to the auction and buy it yourself?"
The people who come here are either rich or noble, so even if they set a price, it won't be too outrageous, in order to avoid losing face if no one takes the photo. So the bearded man thought Xu Lang was going to bid back to attract attention.
When the people around heard what Xu Lang said, they couldn't help themselves.
The more polite ones whispered to their companions, pointing at Xu Lang and laughing while they were talking, and it was probably not something nice.
Those who are more extroverted would directly ask loudly, "Young man, are you crazy?"
The place became a little more lively because of Xu Lang.
