The crew had already finished filming the first half of the series, and Director Qin was merciful enough to give the main creators of the crew a holiday.
After all, the second half is very different from the first half, and the plot of the movie gradually moves towards a depressing part.
Director Qin gave this holiday for the sake of letting the crew members adjust their mood. Things will start to get weird later on.
Luo Mianmian took advantage of this time to have a good rest, and looking at the days, Wen Qiang’s birthday would soon be here.
This is the bad thing about wealthy families. They have to remember the birthdays of those upper-class people and give them gifts. The money spent on social engagements in one year alone is enough to cover the living expenses of an ordinary family for a lifetime.
Luo Mianmian had to go this time. As Wen Qiang's future daughter-in-law, she had to ask for leave even if she was on the moon. It just so happened that Director Qin was on vacation, so Luo Mianmian didn't have to cause any trouble to the crew members.
"Wen Jianshen, what does Uncle Wen like?"
Luo Mianmian didn't know what to give Wen Qiang. Given Wen Qiang's bad temper, she was afraid that he would get angry if he didn't like the gift, so Luo Mianmian had to ask his son for help.
After all, Wen Jianshen understands Wen Qiang better than Luo Mianmian.
"No need to give anything, my dad likes everything."
Luo Mianmian pouted, "How can I like everything? Don't play tricks on me."
Wen Jianshen pondered for a while, then said, "There is an auction tonight. Would you like to go with me to see it?"
"Okay." Luo Mianmian agreed. If Wen Qiang didn't like her, it wouldn't be her fault.
After saying that, Luo Mianmian rolled his eyes and then revealed a sly smile.
As soon as Wen Jianshen saw Luo Mianmian's expression, he knew that Luo Mianmian was planning something bad.
Sure enough, he saw Luo Mianmian dialing Luo Tianfeng's number.
"Hello, Dad."
Luo Mianmian called Luo Tianfeng affectionately, which made Luo Tianfeng on the other end of the phone feel a little flattered.
"Uncle Wen's birthday is coming up soon. Wen Jianshen and I are going to the auction today to buy some gifts for Uncle Wen."
Luo Mianmian bit her fingers, and the pink fingertips made Wen Jianshen's eyes darken.
"After all, I haven't married Wen Jianshen yet, so it's not right to use his money to buy gifts for Uncle Wen..."
Luo Tianfeng is an old fox. He didn’t understand what Luo Mianmian said. He waved his hand and said, “Dad will ask my assistant to give you 20 million later. Buy whatever you want.”
After a pause, he began to pretend to care about Luo Mianmian: "Buy something for yourself."
Luo Mianmian's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Mianmian covered her chest and made a vomiting expression. Wen Jianshen's smile deepened as he was amused by her.
When Luo Mianmian saw Wen Jianshen looking at her, she thought that Wen Jianshen felt that his behavior was wrong.
She explained: "It's not that I don't have a backbone, but why should I go against money? Anyway, I don't need it, and Luo Tianfeng will spend the money on other things. It's better to ask him for more."
Indeed, Luo Mianmian has always thought so. After all, she is not the heroine of a novel who regards money as dirt. She is just an ordinary person with some money. Why should she leave her money for Luo Tianfeng to spend?
Wen Jian nodded in agreement: "You are right."
Not long after, there was an extra 20 million in Luo Mianmian's account. For Luo Tianfeng, this was a good opportunity to get closer to the Wen family. He wished Luo Mianmian would ask him for money more often, so he was more active than anyone else in transferring money.
Luo Mianmian packed up simply and went to tonight's auction with Wen Jianshen.
They came in a hurry, and Luo Mianmian thought there would not be any good seats, but the waiter at the auction house led them to a private room on the second floor.
There were already people waiting to be served in the box, and they bowed slightly when they saw them coming.
Wen Jianshen raised his hand to signal, and the waiter tactfully left.
A faint fragrance lingered in the room. Luo Mianmian looked and saw a small incense burner burning. Wisps of fragrance came from there.
The layout of the box is spacious and not constrained due to space constraints. There are also several calligraphy works hanging behind the chairs.
Luo Mianmian had only been to the auction many times before, and Zhang Meilin was reluctant to bring her along, fearing that she would be spoiled and ask for this and that. Therefore, this was Luo Mianmian's first time to be in the private room of the auction house.
Tonight's auction is not big, but as things are urgent, Luo Mianmian cannot wait until the next time, so she can only pick one item here to give to Wen Qiang.
The auction started soon and the lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only a beam of light on the stage shining on the collections to be auctioned.
Generally speaking, the first item at an auction will be extraordinary, used to arouse everyone's emotions. Luo Mianmian looked carefully at the booth and saw a plain white porcelain cup standing there.
The host was talking excitedly on the side, introducing the history of this item.
"Wow."
Luo Mianmian cried out softly. She was uneducated before and knew nothing about these antiques, but this did not prevent Luo Mianmian from feeling that this item was extraordinary.
The smooth lines and pure colors remind people of the misty Jiangnan. A beautiful woman holding an oil-paper umbrella walks in this rainy world, just like this pure white porcelain cup, giving people a fragile beauty.
"Like?" Wen Jianshen asked, looking at Luo Mianmian's surprised expression.
"No, it's very beautiful." Luo Mianmian fixed her eyes on the porcelain cup, then realized the meaning of Wen Jianshen's words and hurriedly explained.
"I just think it's great to be able to make it, and I have no intention of buying it."
I don’t know why, Wen Jianshen didn’t say anything, but Luo Mianmian felt that if she said she liked this item, Wen Jianshen would definitely buy it and give it to her without hesitation.
"Let's look at the next one later."
Luo Mianmian reached out and tugged at Wen Jianshen's sleeve, but Wen Jianshen pressed a button beside him. Then Luo Mianmian heard the host's voice: "Number 230, fifty million!"
"Wow, which boss is this? He's such a spendthrift."
Luo Mianmian couldn't help but say to Wen Jianshen beside her, although this porcelain cup is indeed very beautiful, it is not worth so much.
Just think about the 20 million that Luo Tianfeng gave to Luo Mianmian and you will know that although the families of these second-generations will give them a lot of pocket money, there is an upper limit to the amount, and they cannot spend as much as they want.
The people below obviously thought so too. After No. 230 made a move, they looked around and found that it was a box on the second floor.
The status of the people on the second floor is much higher than those on the first floor. Even some people who like this porcelain cup secretly give up after seeing that the guest is from the second floor.
Not long after, the mall's exclusive waiter came to the box where Luo Mianmian was, holding the porcelain cup.
"Sir, your item has arrived."
Luo Mianmian looked at the porcelain cup, then looked at Wen Jianshen.
It turns out that the spendthrift boss she just mentioned was Wen Jianshen?
