When Huo Qiqi and her group entered the treasure appraisal conference, they instantly attracted everyone's attention. When everyone saw that the leader was Huo Qiqi, they immediately retracted their gaze, lowered their heads and pretended to look for something.
Chen Lai felt very strange looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, and then he remembered that it was probably because Huo Qiqi's power was too great, and everyone was afraid of her and afraid of offending her.
Those who participated in the treasure appraisal conference this time were basically the younger generation of Hong Kong's top families. They had long been warned by their own families not to offend Huo Qiqi. If they did so and brought trouble to the family, they would be prepared to be expelled.
In fact, they didn't dare to offend Huo Qiqi even without the orders from the family elders. Some time ago, Shen Qiu, the extremely arrogant and domineering person in the circle, was expelled from the family and sent to prison just because he offended Huo Qiqi with his rude words on the phone. They didn't want to become the second Chen Qiu.
It was better if no one disturbed her, so Huo Qiqi could enjoy the treasure appraisal conference with peace of mind.
Ten minutes later, John, the organizer of the conference, stepped onto the podium. "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is John, and I'm from Country M. This time in Hong Kong, I've made quite a few good friends. To make even more friends, I've organized this treasure appraisal conference. It's divided into four sections: collectibles, books and calligraphy, and antiques and jade. I hope everyone can find the treasures they love. Now, I'll hand the stage over to today's host. Please feel free to come and enjoy."
As each exquisite item was displayed, the event became very lively.
Just as Huo Qiqi and Zou Meimei were admiring a piece of porcelain, John came to Zou Meimei and said, "Miss Meimei, long time no see. I heard you opened a musical instrument studio. I must go and see it next time."
Huo Qiqi clearly felt that when John was talking to Zou Meimei, he was always looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. What a guy, he came with bad intentions. The system's true eye also confirmed Huo Qiqi's guess.
"Long time no see. Welcome, Teacher John, to my studio." Zou Meimei behaved gracefully. Since the relationship between the two of them was destined to have no result, Zou Meimei would not rush to be the third party. She, Zou Meimei, had her own pride.
John looked into Zou Meimei's eyes. Although he had no contact with Zou Meimei when he was teaching in Country F, he could feel that Zou Meimei liked him. But now he could not see any emotion in Zou Meimei's eyes.
John smiled and turned to Huo Qiqi and said, "This beautiful lady must be Boss Huo, known as the Goddess CEO of Hong Kong. It's true that hearing about her is worse than meeting her in person. I've heard of your great name for a long time."
Huo Qiqi's face was expressionless as she said indifferently, "Mr. John, you're too kind. I just have a small business."
John didn't seem to notice the displeasure on Huo Qiqi's face, and he kept talking to himself in front of the two girls for 10 minutes. Huo Qiqi really couldn't stand him anymore, so she pulled Zou Meimei away.
"Meimei, this is the young talent you mentioned. He is so shameless and so shameless." Huo Qiqi handed a piece of cake to Zou Meimei and kept complaining about John.
Hearing Huo Qiqi's words, Zou Meimei nodded in agreement. "I really didn't expect this teacher John to be such a person. I did like him when I was studying there, but it seems I was deceived by his false appearance."
After the two of them had some snacks, they continued to walk around the event site. Huo Qiqi was surprised to find an ancient Duan Inkstone at the venue. Duan Inkstone is known as one of the four famous inkstones in China and is a specialty of Guangdong Province. The center of the Duan Inkstone is a deep blue and dark green color, and you can even see water vapor on it. No wonder the ancients called Duan Inkstone a place to grind ink by breathing on it.
Huo Qiqi liked this Duan inkstone very much and spent 5,000 to buy it. Just when Huo Qiqi was happy about buying a favorite Duan inkstone, the noise at the scene caught Huo Qiqi's attention.
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Mr. Zhou Tian from the Zhou family. Mr. Zhou, why don't you just go to work properly? Why do you want to snatch this ancient painting from me?" An arrogant voice made Huo Qiqi frown.
And isn't Sunday off? It seems this treasure appraisal conference is quite popular.
Zhou Tian sneered and said to the arrogant man sarcastically, "Han Cai, although my Zhou family has declined, I, Zhou Tian, still have billions of dollars in assets. Who do you think you are? If it weren't for the Wu family's support, you would have been beaten to death long ago."
The corners of Han Cai's mouth twitched. This damn Zhou Tian, I hope he doesn't regret it later. Han Cai winked at the owner of the ancient painting. The owner rolled his eyes and said to Zhou Tian, "Young Master Zhou, this is an authentic work of the painting master Wu Daozi. Young Master Han has offered 90 million. Do you want to raise the price?"
Zhou Tian was obviously irritated by Han Cai. "I bid 100 million Hong Kong dollars. I don't think Young Master Han can offer more than me."
Han Cai looked at the furious Zhou Tian. He had never expected that this Mr. Zhou was really stupid and rich. It seemed that he really liked the painting. He decided to stir up trouble again. "I bid 150 million. Some people are just so petty."
As Zhengda Zhoutian continued to bid, he tugged at the corner of Huo Qiqi's clothes. Zhoutian arrived at the second half of the treasure appraisal event and hadn't noticed Huo Qiqi. When he saw her, he was still very surprised. "Boss, do you also like this ancient painting?"
Huo Qiqi lowered her voice and said, "Zhou Tian, stop bidding. This painting is fake. Han Cai and the owner of the painting are colluding to harm you."
Han Cai, who thought his plan had succeeded, was stunned when Zhou Tian continued to bid. You know, as a third-rate family in Hong Kong, it was very difficult for his Han family to come up with 150 million. He and the owner of the painting teamed up to harm Zhou Tian, but Zhou Tian refused to follow him. He found out that our plan had failed.
The owner of the painting was overjoyed this time. Originally, Han Cai agreed to split the money 50-50. Even if Zhou Tian offered 200 million, he would only get 100 million. Now, a fake painting was sold for 150 million. This time, that gangster dad can't look down on him.
The owner of the painting circled the ancient painting and said to Han Cai cheerfully, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for the 150 million. When can I expect to receive the money?"
Han Cai looked at Di Xiaoqiu's harmless face and swallowed his saliva. "Mr. Di, let's talk somewhere else. It's not convenient to talk here."
Seeing Han Cai's expression, Di Xiaoqiu understood everything. He slapped Han Cai's face several times and kicked him repeatedly, saying as he beat him, "You bastard! You, Han Cai, dare to refuse to pay my Di family's debt. Are you always so brave?"
Huo Qiqi watched this farce with a smile, feeling that this was a good meal.
"Qiqi, someone over there got a top-grade imperial green car, and many people are rushing over there."
