"Xu Lu, what are you doing buying so much jade? You're not going to use it for something bad, are you?"
Reba, who also didn't get an answer from Xu Lu, casually remarked after seeing Xu Lu buy a large bag of jade by the kilogram.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu's lips twitched. He never expected that this girl would see right through his true purpose in buying the jade.
However, Dilraba was just saying it casually, and after not hearing Xu Lu's reply, she quickly forgot about the question.
Even she herself didn't think that Xu Lu bought a bunch of jade materials to do anything bad.
However, buying jade materials is only the beginning of today's procurement. It's just that it won't be convenient to let Dilraba come along next.
So Xu Lu had to use a lot of persuasion to finally convince the other party to go back.
Of course, Dilraba, who was tricked back, didn't feel that she had been tricked by Xu Lu this time.
Because she obtained important information from the other party, which should be called an equivalent exchange!
"There will be a cup similar to the small cup in his hand up for auction at Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong Island tomorrow!"
"Heh, so all I have to do is wait until this time tomorrow to find out how much that cup Xu Lu has is worth!"
Thinking of this, Reba chuckled to herself, thinking:
"Xu Lu was trying to keep it from me, but I still managed to get the secret out of him."
By the way, Honey doesn't know about this yet. Should I tell her about it?
"Never mind, Honey's so busy, she probably won't be thinking about this all the time. I'll tell her after the auction tomorrow!"
...
The following morning.
Dilraba still didn't see Xu Lu on set, which made her so angry that she almost called Boss Yang to complain again.
However, considering that she might need to call Mr. Yang in the afternoon, she decided to wait a bit.
Fortunately, Xu Lu appeared in front of Reba again at lunchtime, bringing her food, which finally made her feel a little better.
"Hey, Xu Lu, you didn't go to the antique street alone again this morning, did you?"
While picking at her food, Dilraba tentatively asked a question.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lu shook his head directly this time and said:
"Of course not! I'm busy with important matters today. Do you think I'm like you, thinking about playing all day long?"
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Dilraba almost choked on her food.
I work diligently on set every day, while you're nowhere to be seen all day.
So who exactly is 'playing around' every day?
Fortunately, Reba remembered her 'advice' that she should never argue with this guy in front of her, so she chose not to get angry.
After thinking for a moment, she added:
"Then this afternoon..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Lu interrupted her directly:
"I also have important things to do this afternoon, so you'll have to go home by yourself after filming..."
Unexpectedly, Dilraba also learned to interrupt this time, saying in an annoyed tone:
"What important business is it anyway? I think you're the one neglecting your duties, you're never around."
"What do you know, little girl? What I need to do right now is much more important than filming!"
Xu Lu retorted casually.
"Then tell me what this important matter is, so I can see if it's really important first?"
Reba knew she wasn't easily fooled, so she pressed for details.
Unfortunately, Xu Lu was unmoved by reasoning, and mysteriously shook his head, saying:
"I can't say that. Just know I'm busy with important matters. Women shouldn't pry into men's affairs."
Oh, and don't you dare call Boss Yang to complain again, or else... hehe..."
Xu Lu looked Reba up and down with his eyes, sending out a 'threatening' signal.
Dilraba, who had originally intended to be defiant, suddenly felt a little shy when she realized that the guy opposite her was looking at her with such intense gaze.
However, when she came to her senses again, Xu Lu was nowhere to be seen.
"Hmph, you scoundrel, acting all mysterious, I wonder what mischief you're up to. Just now... just now you were looking at me like that, you're really wicked..."
However, I don't have many scenes to film this afternoon. After I finish shooting, I should be able to make it to the Sotheby's auction. I'm eager to see how much that little cup is worth!
...
In the afternoon, after finishing filming her scenes, Dilraba immediately picked up her phone to watch the auction live stream.
To her both curiosity and relief, the chicken cup at The Sotheby's had not yet gone up for auction.
The reason for my curiosity is, of course, that filming hasn't started yet, so I don't know exactly how many copies it will sell for.
I breathed a sigh of relief, precisely because the auction hasn't started yet. We'll be able to witness the price being determined soon!
"Hey, this chicken cup from The Sotheby's auction house... they've already set a reserve price. Let me take a look..."
Dilraba, who had just noticed this information, was stunned after glancing at the bottom price.
"Sixteen million? My God, the starting price is already sixteen million!"
No, no, there are so many zeros at the end, could I have miscounted? Let me count them again..."
Dilraba exclaimed in surprise, realizing she might have added an extra zero, and quickly counted backwards again.
However, when she finished counting a second time, Dilraba's expression became increasingly unnatural.
She muttered to herself with a blank expression:
"I did miscount, but I only missed one zero. Their low price is 160 million, wow!"
