"Silly girl, you can't even see your own talismans, right?" Gu Mingtai raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, his face full of doting.
Zhang Meng stuck out her tongue awkwardly and smiled like a child. "This doesn't seem real to me. I never thought the talismans I drew would be auctioned here! It feels like a dream!"
The most important thing was the price of the auction, which made her feel more like she was dreaming of sitting on a pile of money.
At this moment, the crowd sitting in the lobby was in an uproar over the appearance of the forty-five talismans.
"Did I hear correctly? There really are talismans up for auction this time? Is that true? Don't tell me these are just some of those things you can only look at but not use!"
"That's impossible. The items sold at this auction house are all authenticated by professionals. There's no way they're useless."
"Don't argue with me, I want all 45 of these talismans. They're rare treasures I've come across in years!" "You wish! I'll take them."
For a moment, Zhang Meng's ears were filled with the words of these people vying for the talismans. As the owner of these talismans, Zhang Meng's heart was pounding as he listened to the prices they shouted out.
Oh my god, she suddenly realized that Master Jingchen was right when he called her a spendthrift.
In the past, whenever she encountered a difficult monster, she would throw out several cards at once, sometimes even ten.
If all those wasted talismans were counted, I wonder how much they could fetch at the auction.
Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
Finally, after a fierce auction, these forty-five talismans were bought back by the old man Sui behind her for eight hundred thousand.
When she heard the wooden hammer strike and the waiter on the stage announced the amount, Zhang Meng grabbed the man's arm tightly and said, "Gu Mingtai, I'm not dreaming, am I? 800,000! I, I made 800,000 in one go!"
This amount of money was beyond her reach even if she spent her entire life catching ghosts. Now she finally believed that people in the capital were rich.
People spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.
Unlike her, she thought she had a lot of money just because she had tens of thousands of yuan in the bank.
When I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed.
"You are not dreaming, it's real, Xiao Meng, I will rely on you for support from now on!" Gu Mingtai said with a smile, and there was no expression on his handsome face that showed that he was uncomfortable because his wife made a lot of money.
Seeing that he really didn't care, Zhang Meng smiled and patted her chest, saying, "Don't worry, I will support you from now on. I will make sure you and grandma will live comfortably with me."
As soon as the talisman auction ended, before anyone could recover from the disappointment of not having won a chance to bid on one, the waiter on stage announced, "Everyone, the last treasure is a stone box. Even our appraiser Huang couldn't tell its age, and as for what's inside, no one knows. The starting price is one thousand yuan. Please bid accordingly!"
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the staff here brought up the stone box.
Just as the people in the lobby were discussing how to take a picture of this strange rock box, a man suddenly walked up from the stage and said a few words to the waiter's ear. The waiter's face changed and he quickly nodded to the man.
Zhang Meng, who was sitting in her seat, narrowed her eyes immediately when she saw the person coming on the stage, because this person was the same person she had just seen when she saw Ichiro Sakai.
If she remembered correctly, this person was standing next to Ichiro Sakai at the time.
At this moment, the waiter suddenly took the microphone and announced, "Everyone, I'm so sorry, but the owner of this stone box just sent someone to say that he won't be auctioning it off. He wants to give it to someone, a female comrade named Zhang. Is Comrade Zhang Meng here?"
As soon as the waiter called out this name, everyone in the lobby looked around for the lesbian named Zhang Meng.
When Zhang Meng heard the waiter call her name, she was stunned. She never expected that things would turn out like this.
It wasn't until Mr. Liao bumped his hand against the wall that Zhang Meng came to his senses.
"Meng girl, are you crazy? Everyone is looking for you, go up and get that stone box!"
Zhang Meng frowned slightly, looked at Gu Mingtai, who also frowned, and called his name softly, "Gu Mingtai, what should we do?"
Gu Mingtai glanced at Sakai Ichiro, and his deep eyes gave him a cold warning.
Ichiro Sakai simply raised his glass and toasted the couple, then turned his head away.
Gu Mingtai's face was gloomy. He also withdrew his gaze and shook Zhang Meng's sweaty hand. "Don't be afraid. If he dares to give it, we dare to accept it. Take it and let the R countrymen become meat buns to beat the dog. There is no return."
Zhang Meng's blood started boiling when he said that. He nodded vigorously and said, "I know. I'll go get it right away."
As soon as she stood up, everyone in the hall turned their attention to her.
Zhang Meng, who had never been the focus of so many people, froze all over and walked towards the stage with her feet somewhat out of her control.
"Is this Comrade Zhang Meng?" asked the waiter.
Zhang Meng nodded and said, "I am Zhang Meng. Give me this stone box." The waiter did not doubt it much. In this auction house, no one dared to impersonate someone else.
Zhang Meng took the stone box. Just when everyone thought she was about to leave the stage, she suddenly stopped, hugged the stone box with a smile, and then snatched the microphone from the waiter's hand and began to speak, "Thank you to the kind person who gave me the stone box. I want to tell him, don't worry, I will treat this stone box well and won't let it return to your hands. Thank you!"
