Strange double pupils: I can see all attributes

This place is more like a restaurant. There are several rows of dining tables in the center of the venue, which are filled with densely packed food, which looks very delicious.

There are staff who are constantly changing and adding food.

Or the waiters coming and going offering champagne.

Many guests were in groups of three or five, holding champagne and chatting with people around them.

Xu Lang took a quick look and even saw quite a few celebrities he was familiar with.

But they are just treated as supporting roles and have almost no sense of existence.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet some people."

Shangguan Xue said this and took Xu Lang's arm and walked forward.

After thinking for a while, Shangguan Xue walked to the middle of four or five gorgeously dressed ladies.

"Xiaoxue! This is your male companion. He looks so handsome!"

The one in the middle, who was surrounded, seemed to be the leader of the group. He greeted Shangguan Xue in a familiar manner.

The two people obviously looked very familiar with each other.

"Don't talk nonsense everywhere. These are the seven trusted men of the Tianji Association."

After hearing this, some people who didn't care much at first also raised their eyes.

The seven masters of the Tianji Association are nothing special, but Xu Lang is so young that it is worth mentioning.

A 25-year-old is not the same as a 35-year-old.

What's more, it is not easy to become the seventh boss at the age of 35.

With Shangguan Xue's presence, Xu Lang quickly became familiar with these people.

When these people introduced themselves, they also mentioned their family background.

Only then did Xu Lang realize that these were not just ordinary rich second-generations. The one leading them actually already had real power and was the CEO of his family's group.

This is the first batch.

Xu Lang was a little surprised, as he originally thought it was just a casual move.

Although Shangguan Xue is an illegitimate daughter, she seems to be very familiar to people from all walks of life in Shanghai.

After some socializing, Xu Lang couldn't say that he had become close friends with these people, but at least he was in touch with them.

In this circle, there is no such thing as mutual help, only exchange of interests.

But if it weren’t for Shangguan Xue, Xu Lang wouldn’t even have the chance to meet these people.

Chapter 235 Shangguan Xue's Concern

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.

Chapter 236 Parallel Import Appraiser

Xu Lang noticed the surprised look in the MC's eyes, and then he slowly said, "The starting price for this bracelet is 10 million, and the upper limit is 100 million!"

After saying that, he looked below the auction table.

The entire venue was silent for a few seconds, and then there was a burst of noise.

Xu Lang heard it very clearly. It was nothing more than words like "Why is it so expensive? The material is not worth it!" "I was planning to spend four or five million to buy it! Forget it, I'm not a complaining person!" "Who sent this for the auction?" and so on.

There were also a few people who had watched Xu Lang being sent over, pointing at Xu Lang and whispering, discussing him.

But no one bid.

"Is there any bid?"

The host asked again somewhat awkwardly.

"If no one bids, we will put the item at the end and auction it again. If no one bids, it will be the first time that the item has failed to be sold at our charity gala!"

When Shangguan Xue saw this scene, she was immediately panicked.

"Xu Lang, why don't we hurry up and make amends. If this thing really fails to sell, the party will not hold you responsible. But this matter cannot be concealed. There were quite a few people present just now. If they ask around, they will know that it was you who sent it. Your reputation will be greatly affected by then."

These people will say anything!"

When Xu Lang heard this, he knew that Shangguan Xue was concerned about him, but he just smiled and shook his head.

"I was able to bring this thing out and set such a low reserve price, which was already a great gift to the party. It's a pity that no one at the party could recognize this gift. This is really..."

Xu Lang was speechless. No one recognized what it was.

If it weren't for this charity gala, I wouldn't have been willing to give out even one.
