Chapter 206: Auction in Progress
Looking at Wang Zhongqing who was whispering to himself beside him, Ning Yu couldn't help but frown.
What are these weird and secondary things appearing around me?
"Just stop it. You keep talking nonsense all day long and make yourself look like you're in a movie." Ning Yu said unhappily.
"You're still a dragon crossing the river, why don't you come out as a tiger descending from the mountain?"
Ning Yu's words made Wang Zhongqing unable to continue acting. He looked at Ning Yu with embarrassment and said, "You really have no sense of humor at all."
Ning Yu just smiled at Wang Zhongqing's complaints, "If you insist that he is a dragon that has crossed the river, then aren't you also a dragon that has crossed the river? If I remember correctly, you are not from Kyoto either."
Wang Zhongqing waved his hand, "Hey~ Don't worry about these details. What's the situation between Qin Zhaoyang and that woman?"
"You can ask him about this when you have time. I can't tell you. You'd better go back quietly. I see your father is looking at you here." Ning Yu made a feint.
Wang Zhongqing turned around quickly after hearing this, but there was no trace of his father. When he turned around again, Ning Yu had already entered Qin Zhaoyang's private room...
Wang Zhongqing was speechless, he could only say hello and say that he would sit with him later, then hurried back to his private room. If he didn't go back, his father might really come out to look for him.
Wang Zhongqing did not dare to offend his own father, the breadwinner, and was very obedient. This was completely different from his flamboyant behavior outside.
…
After Song Tang and others entered the private room and sat down, the receptionist who followed them in and took care of them handed them a booklet.
"Ms. Song, this is the auction's item brochure. It contains all the items that will be auctioned today. You can take a look first to see if there is anything you like."
"Thank you." Song Tang took the beautifully crafted booklet and thanked the other party. He did not open it immediately, but handed it to Zhou Jing beside him, and then began to look around and carefully examine the private room number two.
The interior is spacious and luxuriously decorated, with luxury brands everywhere. Over the years, Song Tang's taste has improved a lot without him realizing it.
The mahogany coffee table in front of you is equipped with all kinds of drinks and snacks. The floor-to-ceiling one-way glass in front of you overlooks the entire auction venue. The large TV on the wall can synchronize the auction situation in the venue in real time, as well as the details of the auction items.
"Miss, what do you think of this?"
When Song Tang finished observing the surroundings and was whispering with her roommates, Zhou Jing stood by and asked her softly while holding the auction brochure.
Song Tang turned around and saw that what Zhou Jing was pointing at in the booklet was a set of head jewelry.
The complete set of gold and jade headdresses of the imperial concubines of the previous dynasty are exquisitely shaped and noble, including earrings, necklaces, hairpins and step-shaking ornaments, and are well preserved.
Song Tang immediately became interested in this set of jewelry. He took the album from Zhou Jing and admired it with his roommates.
Looking at the starting price of five million marked below the jewelry set, the other three were secretly shocked. Only Song Tang didn't even bother to look at how much this thing cost. For her, liking it was enough. As for money, what was that?
Zhou Jing leaned over to Song Tang, flipped to the end of the booklet, and pointed at the last auction item. "Miss, should we take this down?"
After Song Tang saw what Zhou Jing was pointing at, he was speechless. "What's the use of this thing for me? No, no."
Zhou Jing smiled slightly. She knew that her young lady probably had no interest in these things, and now she asked, it turned out to be true.
At this time, the auction in the venue had already begun. After a capable female auctioneer opened the auction, the first item of the auction was presented.
A Qing Dynasty porcelain vase, which is well preserved as can be seen from the details. The starting price of 200,000 is not high and attracted many people to bid.
After several rounds of bidding, it was finally bought by a boss with a southern accent in the hall for $410,000.
Next was a collection of calligraphy and paintings by a famous artist. Song Tang was not interested in any of these things, so he and his roommates started eating the snacks on the coffee table.
When the receptionist in the private room saw that the big customer was interested in these snacks, she took out her communication equipment to communicate with him. After a while, another young lady came with more snacks of varying varieties.
…
When the auction was halfway through, the set of gold jewelry owned by a concubine of the previous dynasty that Song Tang had taken a fancy to finally appeared.
However, the starting price of five million made many people give up.
"Sister Zhou, take a picture." Song Tang said to Zhou Jing while sitting on the sofa and swiping the screen of his mobile phone.
"Okay, miss." Zhou Jing nodded after hearing Song Tang's words. She understood what the lady meant, regardless of the price.
"This set of imperial concubine jewelry has a starting price of five million, and each bid increment must be no less than ten thousand. The bidding begins now."
As the auctioneer finished her words, a noble lady in the hall raised her sign, "5.1 million."
"Okay, No. 71 bids 5.1 million. Any more?"
At this time, Zhou Jing had already pressed the auction button.
"Okay, the VIP in room two bids 6 million, 6 million, is there a higher bid?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"6.1 million!"
"Okay, guest No. 71 bids again, 6.1 million. Do you have any more?"
Guest No. 71 in the hall was the first to make a bid. At this moment, the woman at No. 71 glanced sideways at private room No. 2 above and behind, but unfortunately she couldn't see through the one-way glass.
At this moment, she was thinking not to make an offer because she liked this set of jewelry so much.
But things don't always go as planned. Song Tang really likes this set of jewelry, so she is destined to be disappointed today.
"7 million, room number two, bid again, 7 million, 7 million, is there any VIP willing to bid?"
Originally, Qin Zhaoyang's mother was planning to buy this set of jewelry, but when she heard that the price was offered by Song Tang from private room number two, she withdrew her hand and did not bid.
"Seven million once, seven million twice, seven million..."
"Okay, the VIP in Room 6 is offering 7.5 million."
Qin Zhaoyang thought that Song Tang could get it with 7 million, after all, his mother just stopped her hand and did not participate. Didn't expect there would be competition?
Ning Yu, who was sitting next to him, smiled speechlessly when he heard that the price was offered by private room No. 6.
Seeing Qin Zhaoyang next to him still looking puzzled, he leaned over to him and whispered, "It's Wang Zhongqing."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang immediately understood. He was saying, how could someone be so boring? If it was Wang Zhongqing, it would be easy to understand. This person's train of thought is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
What he doesn’t know is that his own thought process is incomprehensible to most people.
"8 million. OK, the VIP in Room 2 bids 8 million again. That's 8 million."
When Wang Zhongqing in private room No. 6 heard the auctioneer's words, he realized that the woman in private room No. 2 was determined to get the jewelry.
He just offered a price because he was bored, and he still had to give face to Ning Yu and Qin Zhaoyang's friends, so he stopped making trouble.
The richest man Wang, who was sitting in the private room, looked at his son with a puzzled look on his face, wondering what this brat was up to.
The people in the private rooms upstairs were basically waiting for the final item, while the people in the hall were shaking their heads at the current price. The price of 8 million was already far beyond the value of the jewelry itself, so there was no need to bid.
And judging from the bidding momentum of Room 2 just now, this set of jewelry is certain to be won.
Finally, after the auctioneer urged again and again and still no one responded, the hammer fell three times, and this set of exquisite jewelry belonged to Song Tang.
