This time, He Xiang and Lan Baoshan were a bit awkward…
Originally, they thought that Boss Ma was coming over to give them a toast, but in the end, Boss Ma gave them a gorgeous and beautiful ignore!
Instead, he toasted Ye Cheng with a fawning expression!
"Oh? Boss Ma? You're here too?" Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he raised his glass and clinked it with Mr. Ma before downing it in one gulp.
"Ye Cheng, who is this person?”After Ye Cheng sat down, Hu Yifei tugged at his sleeve.
"Oh, the CEO of Fiber-Optic Entertainment. Boss Ma." Ye Cheng casually introduced.
Hu Yifei's mouth formed an 'O' shape as she mumbled. "Who do you know?"
At this moment, Boss Ma greeted He Xiang and Lan Baoshan politely.
He Xiang and Lan Baoshan were speechless. However, when they thought about how Ye Cheng was a strange person, and how they worshipped him, and how Mr. Ma might be like them, worshipping Ye Cheng, they felt relieved and thought more highly of Ye Cheng.
"Mr. Ye, there will be an antique auction later..." Mr. Ma looked at Ye Cheng with a smile.
Ye Cheng gave him a look and said without batting an eyelid. "I know. I was just about to go and watch the show.”
Mr. Ma was old and wise, he knew that Ye Cheng might not like to be ostentatious, so he did not say anything. Mr. Ye was a big shot in the appraisal industry, but now he was pretending to be a newbie. Heh, why did everyone like to act tough these days?
Actually, Ye Cheng just wanted to give Hu Yifei a surprise.
Moreover, in his opinion, appraising treasures was so simple that there was no need to use it to show off!
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone left the table.
He left the house and went to the backyard.
A storage-like building appeared in his field of vision.
"Mr. Ye, the auction will be held here.”He Xiang respectfully invited Ye Cheng in.
Ye Cheng held Hu Yifei's hand and walked inside.
Now that Hu Yifei had allowed Ye Cheng to hold her hand and hug her, her relationship with Ye Cheng had already been made public. What was there to be afraid of? On the contrary, Hu Yifei was indescribably happy with the identity of 'Ye Cheng's girlfriend'.
"Mr. Ye, the person hosting the auction is a big boss. He's not a local Shanghai person. It's said that he has many businesses in Europe and the United States. He's not specialized in collecting antiques. He's just a hobby. Holding this kind of underground auction was to let his friends have fun, and also to buy some of his favorite items. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.”Boss Ma smiled and said to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng nodded.
Walking into the warehouse, he saw incandescent lamps hanging on the roof, illuminating the room that was about 100 square meters as if it was daytime.
In front of him was a stage with an extremely long sandalwood table and a few sandalwood chairs. No one had arrived yet.
There were more than twenty chairs below, and more than ten people were already seated. Behind each of them were one or two bodyguards dressed like the Matrix.
It was obvious that those who could sit here were not simple characters. Each and every one of them exuded a powerful aura.
Ye Cheng didn't mind. He was neither servile nor overbearing, and he was not shocked by favor or humiliation. Hu Yifei, on the other hand, had never seen such a scene before. She subconsciously felt a little afraid. Ye Cheng hugged her waist and calmed her down.
He sat down.
The people present were all familiar with He Xiang and Boss Ma. After all, they were all people from the upper class in Shanghai, so they all greeted each other politely. On the other hand, Ye Cheng was young. Although he had appeared on television before, the people here did not recognize him and ignored him.
Ye Cheng didn't care. He lowered his head and started to chat with Hu Yifei.
"Yifei, let's go out and get a room tonight. Don't go back, okay?”
"Tsk, what are you trying to do? You want to eat me just like that?"
At
this moment, footsteps sounded.
Someone entered the room and walked straight to the stage in front.
The person in the lead looked to be in his fifties. He had a square face and was Chinese. His facial features were well-defined, and he exuded an imposing aura. His aura was much stronger than that of the bosses like He Xiang. His eyes were like an eagle's, and a single glare would make one's body go weak.
"Hey ~ Yifei, that guy should be the owner of the auction. He's quite a character.”Ye Cheng pursed his lips.
"He looks like he's from the Black Society…" Hu Yifei clicked her tongue.
Following the man were two other men who looked like rats. Each of them carried a large box and placed it on the long sandalwood table.
Boss Ma sat on the other side of Ye City and whispered. "Mr. Ye, that middle-aged man is the owner of this auction. Everyone calls him 'Third Master Zheng'. The other two are a little vulgar. They do that-" As he spoke, he made a digging gesture.
"Ye Cheng, what are those two doing? A farmer digging?" Hu Yifei said blankly.
"They…Gold Hunting Lieutenant.”Ye Cheng explained.
"What is a gold-looting lieutenant? Soldiers?" Hu Yifei was filled with respect.
Only then did Ye Cheng realize that in iPartment world, there were no grave robbing novels like Grave Robber's Chronicles or Ghost Blows Out the Light. Therefore, Hu Yifei did not understand the term "Gold Robbing Officer" at all.
"Grave-digger." The common way of Ye City
"This is illegal!" Hu Yifei was shocked.
"Yifei, calm down, calm down.”Ye Cheng hurriedly said. "We all rely on our skills to make a living. It's not like we're swindling.”
At this moment, Third Master Zheng spoke. "Thank you for coming today. These two brothers dug up a tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty's royal family last month and found a lot of good things. After the items were unearthed, they had also found someone to look at them. They were all old things and not fakes. However, in this line of work, no one dared to say that something was definitely real. In this line of work, one's eyesight was the key. One couldn't blame others for being eye-catching and earning money. As usual, every item would be quoted by the seller. The highest bidder would get it and could come up to appraise it.”
The auction had begun.
Third Master Zheng nodded. The two tomb robbers opened the box and took out the first item.
"Mr. Ye, according to your judgment, you should be rich again tonight…" Boss Ma lowered his voice and said.
