The next day, God Chu received an invitation to the auction from Old Li at the Left Bank Cafe on Changjiang South Road.
This auction was jointly organized by Christie's Auction House and Shanghai's underground black market.
The auction would begin at 8 p. m. the next day at Christie's Auction House in the city center. If one did not have an invitation, they would not be able to enter the auction venue.
Therefore, the people attending this auction were all from the upper class of Shanghai.
The invitation letter was not only a ticket to the auction venue, but it was also a symbol of status.
"Ding! Papa, there's a new mission."
However, after Almighty Chu received the invitation and walked out of the cafe, Chuyin's pleasant voice sounded in his mind.
"What mission?"
"After the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, countless national treasures were lost to foreign countries. If Papa could find ten national treasures that were lost overseas within a year, his mission would be considered complete.
Every time they found a national treasure, they would receive a generous reward. I suggest Daddi accept this mission."
When Almighty Chu heard this, he immediately agreed." Chuyin, I accept this mission. Tell me what the first national treasure is.”
The national treasures were lost overseas. If he had the ability, he would naturally be duty-bound to find them one by one.
"The first national treasure, the golden sword hilt from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The British Museum of the Sun Never Sets.”
After Chuyin finished speaking, a scene that only he could see appeared in front of Almighty Chu.
It was a very exquisite open-cut cast gold sword handle. There were obvious lines on both sides of the sword handle, and the top of the sword protruded outward from the hilt and the blade.
The hilt was hollow, and both sides were decorated with gorgeous coiling dragon patterns.
This was not a sword hilt, but a work of art! It was hard to imagine that such an exquisite object could be made in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the fifth century B.C.
After looking at the golden sword hilt of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Almighty Chu couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancient people. It wasn't something that modern people could imagine.
"After the Old Summer Palace was burned, countless treasures were lost to the Empire of the Unsetting Sun. It was a shame that the national treasures of the East were being displayed by other countries.
After Sister Wei Wei's birthday, I will immediately head to the Sun Never Sets Empire and retrieve the golden sword hilt of Dong Zhou!”
……
Time flew by, and a day passed quickly.
That night, all kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of Christie's auction house. Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and other luxury cars could be seen everywhere.
Many people from the upper class of Shanghai attended the auction.
Here, even celebrities who were rarely seen became a foil to the big shots.
When Almighty Chu rode his bicycle to Christie's Auction House, he instantly became the center of attention.
In the middle of the luxury cars, there was a bicycle. The comparison was undoubtedly very direct.
After General Chu parked his bicycle, he felt a fragrant wind blowing at him.
A beautiful woman in a white evening gown suddenly rushed to his side and said to a man in a suit,
"Zheng Shaoze, I told you that I already have a boyfriend.”
" Impossible!" Zheng Shaoze said in disbelief." You must be lying to me. How could you fall in love with this poor boy riding a bicycle?!"”
"How is it impossible?" The woman in the evening gown hugged Almighty Chu's arm and said,"
"Be it in terms of temperament or appearance, you're far inferior to my boyfriend. Please don't pester me in the future. You're really annoying me.”
As she spoke, she kissed Almighty Chu's face, proving that he was her boyfriend.
Zheng Shaoze's heart was burning with rage as he looked at Almighty Chu with bloodshot eyes.
The woman he had been pursuing for three months had always been cold to him. Now, a boyfriend had appeared and said in front of him that he was not worthy of his boyfriend. How could he not be angry?
"Zimei, other than looks, what else can this pretty boy compare to me in?
The most important thing for a man is still power and wealth. This pretty boy riding a bicycle is not worthy of you at all!”
At this moment, Almighty Chu realized that the woman in the evening gown beside him was the famous love song queen, Zhao Zimei.
Not long ago, he even stole her white jade beauty necklace.
"Zheng Shaoze, I've already told you clearly that I have a boyfriend. Although he's not as rich and powerful as you, I like him very much.
I hope you won't pester me anymore in the future. Otherwise, my boyfriend will be unhappy and I will be very burdened.”
After saying that, he held onto Almighty Chu's hand and walked towards Christie's Auction House.
Only the man in the suit stood there with a gloomy face.
"Eh, Miss Zhao, are you using me as a shield?" Almighty Chu said on the way.”
Zhao Zimei didn't seem surprised at all that Almighty Chu recognized her. After all, she was very popular now, and there weren't many young people who didn't know her.
"I'm sorry, I'm really annoyed by that person. I'll have to trouble you to accompany me to the auction house. Otherwise, if we leave now, he will definitely see through us.”
"Please show me your invitation."
At the door, although the security guard recognized the woman in front of him as the Diva of Love Songs, Zhao Zimei, he still had to confirm the invitation before letting her in.
After all, none of the people who came here had a lower status than Zhao Zimei.
Zhao Zimei took out her invitation letter from her bag and handed it to the security guard for confirmation. Then, she was about to bring Almighty Chu in.
However, she was stopped by the security guard." I'm sorry, Miss Zhao. According to the rules of the auction house, only one person can enter with an invitation. So you can only go in alone. You can't bring this gentleman with you.”
"He's with me. Can't you make an exception?”
"I'm very sorry," the security guard said guiltily."Unless you have a VIP invitation, you can only go in alone."”
Only people of Qin Tianhao's level would receive a VIP invitation.
There were only ten VIP invitation cards for this auction.
Although she was a popular Diva, she was not qualified to receive an invitation of this level.
"What? Is this kid forbidden from entering?”At this moment, Zheng Shaoze walked over and looked at Almighty Chu with a mocking and disdainful expression. He said with extreme disdain,
"Zimei, you won't be happy if your family background isn't right and your status isn't equal.
What's the use of your boyfriend just having looks? He can't even enter the auction.”
"You!" Zhao Zimei glared fiercely at Zheng Shaoze, then pulled Almighty Chu and said,""If you don't want to enter, then don't enter. Let's go.”
"Shall we ride his bicycle?" Zheng Shaoze asked with a smile.”
"I'm sorry to interrupt you.”Almighty Chu took out a gilded invitation letter from his pocket and handed it to the security guard at the door."This is my invitation."
The security guard took the invitation letter and looked at it. His expression immediately turned solemn as he respectfully handed it back to Almighty Chu with both hands.
"Sorry, I didn't know you had a VIP invitation. Sir, please come in!"
Almighty Chu casually put the invitation letter into his pocket and placed his right hand on Zhao Zimei's waist. Under Zheng Shaoze's shocked gaze, he walked into the auction venue.
Looking at the backs of Almighty Chu and Zhao Zimei, Zheng Shaoze said dejectedly,""So he's not a gigolo, but a disciple of a big family with a VIP invitation. No wonder Zhao Zimei rejected me.”
