Xu Ming sat down next to Wang Mu, and the two young ladies had already set up the tea set and started brewing tea without him having to tell them.
There were four private rooms on the third floor, forming a five-pointed star square. As soon as Wang Mu sat down, several pairs of eyes immediately turned to look at him.
"The middle-aged man on the left, who looks a bit weak and around thirty years old, is Li Ziming from Mingzheng Group. He's the one competing with us tonight. It'll all depend on you, boss!"
Wang Mu nodded slightly without looking, but Li Ziming glanced at them contemptuously, then snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, bringing just some cats and dogs to a place like this, Xu Ming is getting more and more audacious!"
The middle-aged man on the right is Mr. Wang, the big boss of the neighboring city of S. He's a real big shot. Don't look at him anymore; he won't be involved tonight, so we can rest assured!
While whispering about each big shot next to Wang Mu, Xu Ming told Wang Mu that some people were just there to watch and not participate in this special auction.
Wang Mu "..."
Why not get involved? Are you just going to watch the show?
At that moment, Wang Mu met the gaze of the person directly opposite him. The person was a woman, about fifty meters away.
This is a woman with a cool and aloof temperament. Her jet-black hair is tied up in a bun, and her face is fair, flawless, and perfectly delicate. She is slightly plump and slightly thin, and her snow-white skin seems so smooth and delicate that it could be broken with a touch.
Even in the most common light gray business suit, she couldn't hide her naturally curvaceous figure.
Even those meeting her for the first time would feel her noble and elegant demeanor in the presence of this stunning beauty.
This is something that cannot be achieved through makeup or imitation; it is something that must be cultivated from a young age.
What's most special about her is her pair of beautiful eyes that are unforgettable at first sight!
It possesses a touch of fresh innocence, a touch of ethereal remoteness, but more so a cold and profound depth!
Don't ask how Wang Mu could see so clearly from so far away, as if he were standing right in front of her. (If you're going to ask that, you should leave the group.)
"That woman across the street is from the Zhang family..."
Xu Ming was about to introduce the people opposite Wang Mu to him when Wang Mu interrupted him.
"I know Zhang Yuyan from the Zhang family."
Wang Mu's words made Xu Ming pause. "Alright, brother, you say you know him, but the problem is I haven't introduced him yet. I can't even see him very clearly from this distance. You have really good eyesight!"
Just as Xu Ming was thinking this, Wang Mu picked up a cup of tea that the two young ladies had prepared, gave Xu Ming a slight nod, and then drank it all in one gulp.
On the left, Li Ziming was sitting in a chair, leisurely drinking tea, with his left arm around a beautiful girl of about eighteen or nineteen, probably the most beautiful girl in some department of a school.
She was wearing makeup that didn't suit her age.
She leaned against Li Zicheng with a fawning smile.
Compared to him, Wang Guohua, the CEO of S City, who was sitting opposite him, was much more aloof, holding a tablet computer in one hand and drinking tea in the other.
Zhang Yuyan had no one else besides her capable assistant and female secretary.
The female assistant had short, ear-length hair and wore a clean and sharp business suit. However, her sharp, piercing eyes suggested that this woman was not to be trifled with. In fact, neither of them were easy to deal with.
Back to Wang Mu's side.
"I work at her company now, I'm the president of our company, of course I know her, but I guess she doesn't know me."
Xu Ming smiled: "President Zhang is indeed the most perfect woman I've ever seen, both in terms of looks and temperament. It's just a pity she's too cold. Although many people pursue her, none of them can exchange ten sentences with her. Could it be that Mr. Wang is also..."
Wang Mu "..."
"It was a coincidence. Actually, I didn't know at first that the company I randomly joined was her company..."
Xu Ming nodded seriously on the surface, but what he said was, "I understand, I understand!"
Wang Mu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
Most of the items auctioned here are antiques or strange and unusual things that eccentric individuals want...
The auction has begun.
On the platform, which was about ten square meters in size, a young woman in her thirties wearing a cheongsam walked out from the curtain on the side.
He held an exquisite black and gold box in his hands, with a dragon and phoenix carved on it.
Place it on the display stand and open the box; it immediately glitters and shines under the light.
"This is a nine-gold glazed phoenix crown and a gold dragon crown from a certain dynasty. It has been preserved for more than a thousand years and is a rare treasure! The starting price is 1 million, with each bid increment starting at 10,000."
"1.1 million!"
1.15 million
1.3 million
The wealthy but vulgar people in the audience immediately started snapping photos.
Item after item was brought out for auction, but the real big shots showed no interest... at least not the big shots sitting in the top four boxes...
Their target is plot number 41.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that Wang Mu could find appealing. What else could such vulgar things be used for besides decoration and embellishment?
After about half an hour, Wang Mu's expression became interested in the white "stone" on the display stand that was as big as a palm!
"This is a strange stone unearthed by an expedition team from the Kunlun Mountains. This stone is like jade but not stone, and its composition is impossible to analyze. It is even harder than a diamond!"
"The starting price is 2 million, and each bid must be at least 50,000 higher."
Wang Mu noticed some retro-styled people in the audience and became interested. He guessed they were the legendary martial arts practitioners. But what would they do with the money? Couldn't they refine the spiritual energy inside to test their hardness in martial arts practice?
Zhang Yuyan glanced at the stone and turned slightly to her assistant beside her: "Caixia, why don't we buy this stone for you to try? Your Nine Clouds Mystic Technique just broke through to the fourth level recently."
Ouyang Caixia nodded and smiled, "I haven't seen anything you liked all night, Yuyan. I didn't expect that the first thing you wanted to bid on tonight would be for me. Thank you, Yuyan."
Zhang Yuyan shook her head and smiled slightly. This smile was so beautiful that it could topple cities and kingdoms, but unfortunately, no one except Ouyang Caixia could see it.
Wang Mu turned slightly to look at Xu Ming: "I need to take a picture of this."
Xu Ming was taken aback, not understanding what use Wang Mu would have for this, but he didn't ask and nodded to indicate that it was no problem.
"Mr. Wang has special abilities, and the things he uses are extraordinary..."
Xu Ming was thinking to himself as he prepared to bid. However, quite a few people below were also bidding.
The bidding for "2.1 million" had barely begun when a middle-aged man in Hanfu, around thirty years old, called out. He had a rugged appearance, and even his Hanfu couldn't conceal the explosive visual impact of his muscular physique.
To his right, beside the man with the "2.3 million" figure, was a middle-aged man, also in his thirties, but not as "large" as the previous one...
