Chapter 302 The man of the hour
"and you..."
"No, no, no, let's not talk about this for now. Now is not the right time." Qiao Xuan quickly ended the topic himself.
Before he finished speaking, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the venue.
Qiao Xuan got out of the car first and came to Tong Yao to help her open the door: "Please."
Tong Yao placed her hand on his palm and got out of the car.
Even though the auction had already begun, the two people still attracted the attention of quite a few people. No matter when or where, handsome men and beautiful women would always be the focus.
Especially since Qiao Xuan, a young man from City B who had not been seen for a long time, came with his female companion, it attracted even more attention.
The two of them immediately caused a small commotion, but because the auction was in progress, everyone quickly calmed down.
The two found a random place to sit down in the back. Tong Yao lowered her head and teased Qiao Xuan: "It seems that our brother is really a big shot in City B. Your presence is more attractive than the auction items."
"Why do I feel like it's because our A Yao is too beautiful that the auction order was disrupted?"
Tong Yao glanced at him coquettishly: "You are so smooth-talking."
Qiao Xuan raised his hands innocently: "Then I am really wronged..."
Auctioneer: "900 million is returned to Mr. Qiao Xuan."
Qiao Xuan: "..."
Tong Yao smiled secretly, and Qiao Xuan took a closer look at the item being auctioned. It was an ancient painting. It was surprisingly quite to his taste.
So Qiao Xuan simply joined the auction.
"950 million returned to ISS's phone."
Qiao Xuan raised his hand again, and the auctioneer said, "1000 million yuan, return to the venue."
When iss saw that the person competing with him was Qiao Xuan, he explained the situation to the leader on the other end of the phone and withdrew from the bidding.
"It's 1000w now, does anyone want to add more?"
There was silence in the venue.
"Okay, 1000 million for the last time. If no one adds, I'll drop the hammer."
"Congratulations to Mr. Qiao Xuan, No. 8009, for winning this painting for 1000 million yuan."
"Now it's lot 06, a 28 carat VVS2 clarity fancy yellow diamond ring from Breguet. This is a high-estimated lot, so if you want a lens, please use your high-value lens card."
"The starting bid is 800 million. Maria's phone number is 850 million now."
Tong Yao really liked this diamond ring and started raising her sign.
"900w8010 lady, 950w back to Maria."
Tong Yao raised her sign again, and the auctioneer said, "Lady No. 8010, 1000 million yuan."
"Maria, do you want to increase it to 1050 million?"
Maria raised her hand again. "Without hesitation, the 1100 million yuan goes back to Maria."
"Madam, would you like to add more?" Tong Yao raised the sign again.
"1150w..."
The two people kept raising the price, and the price of the ring soared to 1500 million yuan.
Qiao Xuan glanced at Maria casually, and Maria realized that No. 8010 came with Qiao Xuan.
Maria nodded very slightly to Qiao Xuan and withdrew from the bidding.
Auctioneer: "Congratulations to Lady No. 8010 for winning this ring for 1550 million yuan!"
Children's song: "It seems that the other party likes this ring very much, and he actually decided not to continue following me."
Qiao Xuan: "Well... maybe it's over budget."
Tong Yao nodded: "Yeah, it's possible."
After that, Qiao Xuan did not participate in the auction, nor did he put pressure on others. Instead, he let Tong Yao have fun here.
Throughout the auction, Tong Yao bought 2 rings, 1 painting by Zao Wou-Ki and several ancient paintings that she liked very much.
Fortunately, she informed the fan group early on that she would take a day off today, otherwise it would be too late.
Nursery Rhyme: "Today's harvest is great!"
"happy?"
Tong Yao nodded: "Yeah, happy!"
Qiao Xuan was in a good mood: "Well, I'm glad that I took you along for this experience."
"My childhood friends know that I'm back to attend the auction, so they want to have dinner together. I want to take you with me. Are you willing?"
Children's song: "Okay, let's go."
Tong Yao's straightforwardness made Qiao Xuan, who had prepared a lot to say, choke for a moment: "Do you agree?"
Tong Yao was amused by his look: "Why are you so surprised? Should I fight with you for a few rounds before rejecting you?"
Qiao Xuan said happily: "No, no, I'm so happy that you agree. Let's set off now."
"it is good."
Qiao Xuan brought Tong Yao into the box, and everyone inside gasped.
It’s nothing, nursery rhymes are just so beautiful.
One of Qiao Xuan's childhood friends came over and said, "Welcome, welcome."
The other four childhood friends also cheered: "No! Xuan! I finally know why you insist on going to H City!"
Then he looked at Tong Yao in a servile manner: "Beauty, do you have any sisters or anything?"
Qiao Xuan smiled and kicked him: "Get lost, we are A Yao's only child!"
My childhood friend said regretfully: "Oh, that's right, there aren't many beauties like this!"
Tong Yao was amused by them, and her childhood friend's wife who had come to greet them at the beginning also said: "Beauty, ignore these stinky men, come and sit here with me!"
Qiao Xuan: "Okay, Xiaokai, sit over to the side and make room for me."
Xiao Kai: "Tsk tsk, you forget your friends when you see a beautiful woman! And you insist on sitting with this beautiful woman!"
"Go aside."
Qiao Xuan introduced these people to Tong Yao one by one, and Tong Yao also smiled and greeted them one by one. The girl who asked Tong Yao to sit next to her was called Xinxin.
Xinxin: "Oh, it's even more beautiful when you look at it up close! How do you usually maintain your looks?"
"When Xinxin asked, the other two girls came over..."
Tong Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. Qiao Xuan's childhood friends were not the same as the seemingly harmonious couples in the novels. They were not arrogant and spoke in a measured way.
Not only did my childhood friends get married early, they also had good relationships with their wives...
After chatting for a while, the girls took out their phones and wanted to add Tong Yao on WeChat.
Although Qiao Xuan was pushed away by the girls, he was still paying attention to the developments here.
"Ask later. Let Yao eat something first. We came here right after the auction and haven't eaten yet."
Xin Xin immediately apologized, "It's my fault. I can't walk when I see a beautiful woman. Eat first."
Only then did Tong Yao eat in peace...
Qiao Xuan was also answering his childhood friend's questions while helping Tong Yao peel crabs.
After seeing this, several girls started pestering their husbands to help peel shrimps and crabs. After a while, fewer people started chatting.
Because they are fighting with crabs...
The nursery rhyme makes me laugh in my heart. It’s interesting, very interesting!
Xinxin: "Thanks to you, otherwise it would be difficult for him to peel shrimp for me."
Weiwei: "Hehe, I think they just need some practice! How come Brother Xuan knows how to peel shrimps and crabs without being told?"
Qiao Xuan: "When you go back, you will all be punished according to the family rules."
The childhood friends immediately started wailing: "Brother Xuan! Who are you in the same group with?"
Qiao Xuan said seriously: "Ahem, I stand on the side of justice."
Tong Yao and the girls all laughed.
All the friends were speechless...
After the meal, Tong Yao and Qiao Xuan's friends got along very happily.
The driver was already waiting downstairs, and Qiao Xuan took her directly to the Song Hotel and booked a presidential suite.
