Suddenly, Zhang Meng saw a familiar figure among the crowd at the auction.
At this moment, the owner of the figure happened to look towards her. To her surprise, the owner of the figure smiled at her and waved.
Looking ahead, Gu Mingtai saw this scene and immediately disliked the man in front of him. He gave him a warning look without any hesitation.
The man immediately gave Gu Mingtai a friendly smile, then turned around and continued bidding.
"Do you know him?" Gu Mingtai asked.
Zhang Meng looked up at him and shook her head. "I don't know him. It's so strange. He's actually saying hello to me, but I don't have any impression of him."
At this moment, Liao Qingting, who was sitting next to them, immediately interrupted their conversation, "You two stop talking. The auction has already started for another item. I heard that this item is a treasure, and many people want to bid for it."
After saying that, Liao Qingting continued to stare at the treasure above.
It turned out to be a piece of fine ancient jade.
However, this is not an ordinary ancient jade. This piece of ancient jade is the inner world. If a cultivator possesses it, it is like possessing a holy medicine for healing wounds. Moreover, if this jade pendant is worn on the body for a long time, it can also protect the wearer's body from the invasion of all kinds of poisons.
"Ancient colored jade, I didn't expect this thing to appear here, I want this piece."
At this time, someone nearby recognized the treasure of this ancient jade and immediately started bidding for it.
Liao Qingting was about to raise her hand when she suddenly looked over at Zhang Meng, who had been sitting quietly. "Aren't you two going to bid on this piece of ancient colored jade? It's a rare treasure."
Zhang Meng smiled at her and said, "We won't shoot anymore. You can shoot it."
When Liao Qingting heard this, a look of relief appeared on her face.
If the two of them had wanted to take a photo just now, no matter how much she liked the jade, she would have given it to them without hesitation.
What happened next made Zhang Meng once again witness how these big guys in Beijing spent money like water.
One by one they raised their signs and shouted out prices, as if the money they had was picked from a tree.
Finally, this piece of ancient colored jade was bid for by the man who had just greeted Zhang Meng.
When Liao Qingting saw that the item she wanted was auctioned off, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Who on earth is that guy? He was so generous that he spent 10 million on a piece of jade. I'm so angry!"
Although the Liao family is rich, they cannot spend money casually.
If she really spent ten million to buy this piece of jade, she was sure that she would be chased and spanked by her grandfather when she returned to the Liao family.
Zhang Meng stared at the figure for a while. When she heard Liao Qingting's scolding, she immediately looked over at her. "Don't you know that man?"
Liao Qingting shook her head. "I don't know him, but it's strange. If this person is from Beijing, there must be someone in the upper class of Beijing who I, Liao Qingting, don't know. But I have never seen this man before. It's really strange."
At this moment, the emcee walked onto the stage, holding the microphone and announcing to everyone with a smile, "Everyone, next we have ten evil-suppressing talismans up for auction. The owner of these ten talismans is none other than the master who last bid from our auction. The starting price of one talisman is 10,000, and the bid price is 50,000. Everyone, please bid."
As soon as the host finished speaking, many people picked up the signs in their hands and raised them up.
In less than a minute, the talisman paper in Zhang Meng's hand was bid for 300,000 yuan each by these people.
Then two more pills were auctioned, each worth 500,000. In just half an hour, Zhang Meng's bankbook suddenly had an additional income of over a million.
For a moment, this sudden feeling of money swelling again made Zhang Meng suddenly feel that this money was not that good after all.
As soon as the auction was over, the couple was about to leave with the crowd, but they didn't expect that someone was already standing at the auction gate waiting for them.
"Hello, Comrade Zhang Meng. I don't know if you remember me. We met once before at Mr. Dong's banquet."
The man was the one who had been staring at Zhang Meng at the auction just now.
Glancing at him, Zhang Meng looked at him calmly, "What's the matter?"
The man continued to smile, completely lacking any sense of being disliked. "Comrade Zhang Meng, I'd like to ask if you know someone named Li Hao?"
Zhang Meng's eyes changed, and she looked at him warily, "Why are you asking this?"
The man laughed. "Comrade Zhang Meng, don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually. I heard that Comrade Zhang Meng's family is from Zhangjia Village in Province X. Unfortunately, one of my younger brothers is also an educated youth there. I thought we were acquaintances, so I wanted to ask about my brother's situation."
When Zhang Meng asked this question, she remembered Li Hao who used to be in Zhangjia Village.
It's been so long that she can't even remember what he looks like.
Later, when I returned to the village, I only heard people mention it occasionally. They said that Li Hao was taken to a more difficult labor camp for reform because he had a mental problem and spread feudal ideas. As for the situation of the person later, no one knew about it.
"Comrade Zhang, what's wrong? Do you really not know my brother Li Hao?" The man asked Zhang Meng with a smile.
Zhang Meng frowned. This man gave her the impression of hiding a knife behind a smile. "I don't know. Although I'm from Zhangjia Village, there are so many people in Zhangjia Village. How can I possibly remember them all? If you want to ask about your brother, you should go ask other Zhangjia Village residents."
