After shopping with Zhang Qian for the entire afternoon, she had gotten a lot of tickets. She was also very tired. The repeated greetings made Gu Yiran's mouth dry.
At this time, the banquet was about to begin.
Under the supervision of the owner, each treasure was sent to another exhibition hall by the meeting party.
This courtyard was slightly smaller. In front of it was the leader's platform and a long T-shaped walkway.
It could be seen that this place was usually used to host some wedding ceremonies.
There were a total of 20 tables on both sides of the T-shaped aisle, and each table was for 15 people, including all 300 people present.
Some of these 300 people were the owners of the treasures, while the other part was made up of media personnel, appraisers, and other groups.
Gu Yiran and Zhang Qian sat together in the front row.
"Yiran, I'm afraid we're in danger this time.”Zhang Qian had just returned from his old friend's place and said worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yiran frowned.
"Do you still remember the Song Dynasty Alphabet Monkey Painting that I told you about?”Zhang Qian pointed to a place not far away. There stood a skinny monkey, smiling and shaking hands with an old man.
"Old Li is its owner, and he has already pulled a lot of votes in the afternoon.”Zhang Qian laughed.
At this moment, Old Li seemed to have felt their gazes. After bidding farewell to the person in front of him, he slowly walked over.
Gu Yiran carefully sized Old Li up when he walked up to him.
He was dressed meticulously in his suit, and his hairstyle was a little strange, just like some teachers in middle school. The middle was bare, and his bangs were long from one side and combed to the other side.
Gu Yiran didn't understand why they didn't just shave their heads.
Perhaps it would open the door to a new world.
"Mr. Gu, I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you.”Old Li extended his hand politely.
Gu Yiran shook his hand and smiled."Same, same."
"Mr. Gu, I have something to discuss with you.”Old Li changed the topic.
"As long as it's not difficult, I can agree.”Gu Yiran replied.
"That would be great." Old Li revealed a surprised expression and said," Please tell the organizers to let Meiping give up the spot for this treasure selection.”
The situation instantly became awkward.
"Isn't this request a bit too much?" Zhang Qian squeezed out a smile and said.”
"I think so." Old Li scratched his head and said," It's mainly because I've pulled a lot of votes this time. You guys don't have a chance of winning either. It's just a friendly reminder.”
"It's a little abrupt, please don't mind.”Old Li didn't stop smiling." I'm leaving now. Let's talk again when we're free."”
The two of them watched Old Li leave.
Zhang Qian gritted his teeth and said,"I've been obedient for a long time. Old Li has a bad character. I didn't expect it to be like this."”
"It's alright. Although it's rare, it's not rare either.”Gu Yiran took a sip of water and said indifferently,"There's never a shortage of arrogant people."”
If one only knew how to be proud and not humble, then failure would come sooner or later.
"Have a seat." Gu Yiran pulled Zhang Qian to sit down. At this moment, the hotel's waiters were carrying plates in their hands as they shuttled between the banquets.
Delicate dishes were served one after another.
Good food was delicious and appetizing. When one swallowed it, the aftertaste would be even more endless.
The banquet began quietly.
"The treasure selection segment is about to begin.”Zhang Qian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly flickered, illuminating the podium. A host in a formal dress walked out.
"Good evening, distinguished guests."
"First, let me introduce myself. I'm the host for tonight's treasure selection. The guests who are here for the first time may not know what our treasure selection segment means.”
"Well, I won't say much. Just scan the QR code on the screen. There will be specific rules for the event. The subsequent voting will also be conducted on this page.”
A large QR code appeared on the projector screen behind him.
"Yo, it's quite advanced this year. They even have QR codes?”Zhang Qian said in surprise.
In previous years, paper voting had been used. Not only was it troublesome, but they also had to secretly choke and not let others see what they voted for.
"Keep up with the times." Gu Yiran shook his head.
Nowadays, he had to scan the QR code wherever he went. If the camera broke one day, it would be difficult to move.
Gu Yiran took out her phone and scanned the QR code. Soon, she entered a second-level page.
The page was meticulously designed, and exquisite antiques danced on the screen.
Scroll down to the detailed voting rules.
There were a total of 107 antiques participating in the exchange meet this time. Seventeen of them participated in the treasure selection, and the rest were forfeited.
Those who had given up knew that they would not be able to get a good ranking with the items in their hands, so they might as well give up.
As for the remaining 17 antiques, each of them was a masterpiece.
Among them, there were seven or eight pieces that were auctioned off for hundreds of millions.
The other antiques could easily be auctioned off for tens of millions.
"The new guests should already know about our treasure selection segment. We will open a voting channel later. Before that, we will ask the owners of the participating treasures to canvass votes for themselves.”
"This segment is completely voluntary, but if you can show your face and say a few good words, you will definitely get higher votes later!”
The host's words pushed the atmosphere to another climax.
Other than a few Tibetan masters with Buddhist nature who participated in the election, the rest of the people were all boasting and canvassing for votes for their own things.
With Zhang Qian's encouragement, Gu Yiran was only prepared to canvass votes.
However, he was arranged to be the last one, so he could only watch the others perform first.
In the crowd, Old Li stood up with a refined bearing. It was difficult to associate him with the way he hid needles in cotton wool just now.
"This person." Zhang Qian silently complained," You really can't look at the surface.”
For example, if Gu Yiran didn't show off her skills. No one knew that he had such profound attainments in calligraphy.
