Chapter 318 Auction
Leng Shaoting had already arranged a special car to pick Gu Ning up, so as soon as An Guangyao and the others left the airport, they drove directly to Jinling Hotel.
It took fifty minutes, and at half past eleven, the group arrived at Jinling Hotel.
Gu Ning had already booked a private room at Jinling Hotel. After having dinner, he went to the office building.
However, because Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had to go to the auction at two o'clock, she ordered the dishes on her own initiative so that they could eat as soon as they arrived. An Guangyao and others naturally would not mind this.
"Ms. Gu, Mr. Leng." An Guangyao greeted Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting as soon as he saw them.
Because there were other people present, An Guangyao couldn't call Gu Ning "boss", so he could only call her Miss Gu.
Together with An Guangyao were secretary Zhang Shunjie, designer Wu Mingkai, a designer assistant and two surveyors, a total of six people.
"Ms. Gu, Mr. Leng." The others also greeted them. Because they thought Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were customers, they did not feel restrained, but were very polite.
Zhang Shunjie knew that Gu Ning was the boss, so he was somewhat reserved.
Gu Ning immediately asked everyone to sit down and asked the waiter to serve the food.
It was not a good idea to talk too much about work during the meal. Gu Ning had already written out his plan for the office building and gave it directly to An Guangyao. The rest was done by An Guangyao and others.
The office building has a total of 18 floors. The first floor is undoubtedly the lobby reception, and the eighteenth floor is the chairman's office.
The group has set up the Finance Department, Human Resources Department, Marketing Department, Information Department, and Securities Department temporarily. The office building covers an area of 550 square meters, with three departments on each floor, and toilets and tea rooms on each floor.
The first floor is used to set up a cafeteria, the second floor is used to set up a conference room, etc.
"Feng Hua Entertainment Company" was directly established at the group headquarters, occupying the seventh, eighth and ninth floors. The seventh floor would be turned into a dance studio, the eighth floor would be turned into a karaoke room, and the ninth floor would be the office for the actors and staff of "Feng Hua Entertainment".
It is impossible to use up all the offices on the eighteen floors for the time being, as it is not the time to merge all the companies yet, so the floors that are used will be renovated according to the plan, and the floors that have not been used will be simply decorated first, and then additional decoration will be added when they are used.
When An Guangyao saw "Fenghua Entertainment Company", he was a little surprised. He was surprised that Gu Ning was actually involved in the entertainment industry.
With the previous experiences of "Shenghua Real Estate" and "Jade Beauty Jewelry", An Guangyao had no doubt about Gu Ning's ability. For a girl like Gu Ning who was so young but could accomplish such a great thing, An Guangyao could only admire her.
Because they knew Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had things to do, everyone ate quickly and finished everything in half an hour.
Before half past twelve, everyone headed towards the office building.
Not only is Beijing a big place, but there is also traffic jams there, so it took half an hour to get there, which should have taken twenty minutes.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting still had to go to the auction, so I couldn't accompany them.
The auction was held in a hotel exhibition hall in the center of Beijing. This auction was held by the largest auction house in Beijing, so many prominent figures from various industries were invited.
These people are not all antique collectors. Many of them come with the intention of making connections, while others want to take the opportunity to demonstrate their financial resources and show off.
Of course, not everyone who is invited will come, some because they don’t have time, some because they don’t want to come, and some because their status is too high and they are not suitable or they just don’t want to come.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they happened to meet Xu Jingchen and his group. No, it should be that they were waiting for Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning in the parking lot on purpose.
The people were the same group that gathered in the club last time, Xu Jingchen, Chen Meng, Siming, Xu Qinying and Qiu Yuxin.
"Shao Ting, Sister Gu Ning, you are here." When everyone saw Leng Shao Ting and Gu Ning, they greeted them enthusiastically.
Gu Ning also greeted them, but Leng Shaoting just responded with a cold “hmm”. If someone didn’t know him, they would think he didn’t take them seriously!
However, everyone had already gotten used to Leng Shaoting's temperament, so they didn't think anything of it.
"Sister Gu Ning, I heard you're going to auction some antiques, can you show them to us?"
Chen Meng and others were very surprised when they heard Xu Jingchen say that Gu Ning was going to auction antiques. As soon as she arrived, Chen Meng asked.
"Yeah! Just to join in the fun! Anyway, I don't really like collecting this kind of thing." Gu Ning said, taking out the official kiln brush washer from his backpack, and everyone immediately gathered around to take a look.
But no one knows much about antiques, so they can't figure out what's going on. They come to the auction because they received the invitation and they just want to find a reason to get together.
"Let's go! The show is about to start."
It was already half past one, and Gu Ning still had to take the official kiln brush washer to be appraised, so it was time to go upstairs now.
In the venue, scenes of handshakes, greetings, and mutual compliments can be seen everywhere, as well as men chatting up women.
As soon as Leng Shaoting and his group entered the venue, they immediately became the focus, and many people looked at them. However, it was not because they knew them, because Xu Jingchen and his group of men did not often go to such occasions, so few people knew them. It was because they were all handsome men and beautiful women, and they were rare.
"Wow! So handsome!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"These beauties are pretty good looking."
"Yeah, especially the tall one. Wow, that figure is simply perfect!"
Women appreciate men, and men appreciate women.
Leng Shaoting and his companions not only have outstanding looks, but are also tall and mighty. Although Gu Ning is a little bit better than Qiu Yuxin in terms of looks, she is not as good as Qiu Yuxin in terms of height and figure.
After all, Qiu Yuxin was a mature woman, and her clothes were mature and fashionable, which was the most eye-catching. Gu Ning, on the other hand, looked like a student, so naturally he would not attract any attention.
But this is just right, not only does it suit Gu Ning's wishes, but it also suits Leng Shaoting's wishes. Leng Shaoting doesn't want his girlfriend to be peeped at, not even a few more glances.
Xu Qinying's dress is also mature and fashionable, but compared to Qiu Yuxin, who was a young model, her temperament is a little lacking.
"Hey! Isn't that Miss Xu?"
"Are you talking about the Xu family, the first-rate wealthy family?"
"Yes! She is the daughter of the second branch of the Xu family, her name is Xu Qinying."
"And that tall woman, she looks so familiar! I think I've seen her somewhere before."
"Tsk, don't think about it, you must have seen her in a fashion magazine, because she is a very famous young model in China."
"Ah! It's her! I was wondering why she looked so familiar! She has a great figure! She's even prettier in person than in the magazines!"
“······”
Xu Qinying and Qiu Yuxin weren't that unfamiliar either.
