Chapter 206 During the auction
Looking at Wang Zhongqing muttering to himself beside him, Ning Yu couldn't help but frown.
What weird and second-rate things are appearing around me?
"Just stop it. You keep talking nonsense all day long and make yourself look like you're in a movie." Ning Yu said unhappily.
"You're still a dragon crossing the river, why don't you come out as a tiger descending the mountain?"
Ning Yu's words made Wang Zhongqing, who was standing beside him, feel a little uncomfortable. He looked at Ning Yu with embarrassment and said, "You really don't have a sense of humor at all."
Ning Yu just smiled at Wang Zhongqing's complaints, "If you insist on calling others "dragons crossing the river," then aren't you also a dragon crossing the river? If I remember correctly, you're not from Kyoto either."
Wang Zhongqing waved his hand. "Hey, don't worry about these details. What's going on between Qin Zhaoyang and that woman?"
"Ask him about this yourself when you have time. I can't tell you. Just go back quietly. I saw your father looking at you." Ning Yu made a feint.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongqing quickly turned around to look. Where was his father? Turning back again, Ning Yu had already entered Qin Zhaoyang's private room...
Wang Zhongqing was speechless. He could only say hello and say that he would sit with her later, then hurried back to his own private room. If he didn't go back, his father might really come out to look for him.
Wang Zhongqing never dared to offend his own father, the one who provided him with food and clothing, and was very obedient. This was completely different from his flamboyant behavior outside.
……
After Song Tang and others entered the private room and sat down, the receptionist who followed them in handed them a booklet.
"Ms. Song, this is the auction brochure. It contains all the items that will be auctioned today. Please take a look and see if there is anything you like."
"Thank you." Song Tang took the beautifully made booklet and thanked the other party. He did not open it immediately, but handed it to Zhou Jing beside him, and then began to look around and carefully examine the private room number two.
The interior is spacious and luxuriously decorated, with luxury brands everywhere. Over the years, Song Tang's taste has improved a lot without him even realizing it.
The mahogany coffee table in front of you is filled with drinks and snacks. The floor-to-ceiling one-way glass in front of you overlooks the entire auction hall. The large TV on the wall can synchronize the auction situation in the venue in real time, as well as the details of the auction items.
"Miss, what do you think of this?"
When Song Tang finished observing the surroundings and was whispering with her roommates, Zhou Jing asked her softly while holding the auction brochure.
Song Tang turned around and saw that what Zhou Jing was pointing at in the booklet was a set of head jewelry.
This complete set of gold and jade headdresses from a former imperial concubine is exquisitely shaped and of extraordinary elegance. It includes earrings, necklaces, hairpins, and step-shake ornaments, all in excellent condition.
Song Tang immediately became interested in this set of jewelry. He took the booklet from Zhou Jing and admired it with his roommates.
Looking at the starting price of five million marked below the jewelry set, the other three were secretly shocked. Only Song Tang didn't even look at how much this thing cost. For her, liking it was enough. As for money, what was that?
Zhou Jing leaned over to Song Tang, flipped to the end of the booklet, and pointed at the last auction item. "Miss, should we take this?"
After Song Tang saw what Zhou Jing was pointing at, he was speechless. "What's the use of this thing for me? No, no."
Zhou Jing smiled slightly. She knew that her young lady probably had no interest in these things. Now that she asked, it turned out to be true.
At this time, the auction in the venue had already begun. After a capable female auctioneer opened the auction, the first item of the auction was presented.
A Qing Dynasty porcelain vase, which is well preserved as can be seen from the details. The starting price of 200,000 yuan is not high, and it attracted many people to bid.
Finally, after several rounds of bidding, it was bought by a boss with a southern accent in the hall for 410,000 yuan.
Next was a collection of calligraphy and paintings by a famous artist. Song Tang was not interested in any of these things, so he and his roommates started to eat the snacks on the coffee table.
Seeing that the big customer was interested in these snacks, the receptionist in the private room took out her communication equipment to communicate with him. After a while, another young lady came with more snacks of varying varieties.
……
When the auction was halfway through, the set of gold jewelry from a concubine of the previous dynasty that Song Tang had taken a fancy to finally appeared.
However, the starting price of five million made many people give up.
"Sister Zhou, take a picture." Song Tang said to Zhou Jing while sitting on the sofa and swiping the screen of his mobile phone.
"Okay, miss." Zhou Jing nodded after hearing Song Tang's words. She understood what the lady meant, regardless of the price.
"This set of imperial concubine jewelry has a starting price of five million, with each bid increment of no less than ten thousand. Bidding begins now."
As the auctioneer finished her words, a noble lady in the hall raised her sign, "510 million."
"Okay, number 71 bids 510 million. Any more?"
At this time, Zhou Jing had already pressed the auction button.
"Okay, the VIP in room two bids 600 million, 600 million, is there a higher bid?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
"610 million!"
"Okay, guest number 71 bids again, 610 million. Any more?"
Guest No. 71 in the hall was the first to make a bid. At this moment, the woman No. 71 glanced sideways at private room No. above and behind her, but unfortunately she couldn't see through the one-way glass.
At this moment, she was thinking not to make a bid because she liked this set of jewelry so much.
But things did not go as planned. Song Tang really liked this set of jewelry, so she was destined to be disappointed today.
"700 million, room number two, bid again, 700 million, 700 million, is there any VIP willing to bid?"
Originally, Qin Zhaoyang's mother was planning to buy this set of jewelry, but when she heard that the price was offered by Song Tang in private room number two, she withdrew her hand and did not bid.
"700 million once, 700 million twice, 700 million..."
"Okay, the VIP in Room 6 is offering 750 million."
Qin Zhaoyang thought Song Tang could win it with 700 million, after all, his mother had just stopped herself from participating. Who would have thought there would be competition?
Ning Yu, who was sitting next to him, smiled speechlessly when he heard that the price was offered by private room No. 6.
Seeing Qin Zhaoyang next to him still looking puzzled, he leaned over to him and whispered, "It's Wang Zhongqing."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang immediately understood. He was saying, how could anyone be so boring? If it was Wang Zhongqing, it would be easy to understand. This person's way of thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
What he doesn’t know is that his own thought process is incomprehensible to most people.
"800 million. Okay, the VIP in room two bids another 800 million. That's it."
When Wang Zhongqing in private room No. 6 heard the auctioneer's words, he realized that the woman in private room No. was determined to get this set of jewelry.
He just offered a price out of boredom, and he had to give face to Ning Yu and Qin Zhaoyang's friends, so he stopped making trouble.
The richest man, Wang, who was sitting in the private room, looked at his son with a puzzled look on his face, wondering what this brat was up to.
The people in the private rooms upstairs were basically waiting for the final item, while the people in the hall shook their heads at the current price. The price of 800 million was already far beyond the value of the jewelry itself, so there was no need to bid.
And judging from the bidding momentum of the people in private room number two just now, they are sure to get this set of jewelry.
Finally, after the auctioneer urged the auctioneer three times without anyone responding, the hammer fell three times, and the exquisite jewelry set belonged to Song Tang.
