The staff member did not dare to delay and went out quietly, closing the door of the box for her to prevent anyone who was not careful from walking in by mistake from disturbing her.
Ordinary guests sit in the auction area.
There were rows of chairs there where they could sit.
There is also an auction sign on the chair with the number of each seat written on it. People sitting there only need to raise the number sign in their hands to participate in the auction.
According to the auction process, only after the bid is successful will the organizer verify the other party's identity and collect the money.
But there are exceptions to everything.
For example, the big shots in the box are not included.
The numbers on the back of these people's number plates represent their identities. There is no need to check, and people present basically know where they come from.
For example, the number plate that Qiao Nian is playing with is David’s, number 3.
It is also the number Cage gave to David.
The auction sign was made of mahogany and had a very smooth polished surface. It felt pretty good. Qiao Nian played with it for a while, then threw it aside because he felt it was boring. He reached into his pocket for his lighter and found a candy.
She took out the candy, pinched the colorful candy between two fingers, looked up and squinted at it for a while, finally opened the candy wrapper and put it into her mouth with an expressionless face.
'Crunch' chew it into pieces.
The unique sweet and sour taste of orange candy spreads on the lips and teeth.
Qiao Nian's irritable mood seemed to be softened by the orange candy. He stretched out his long legs and focused his attention on the auction again.
…
the other side.
Haitong fled to the bathroom and hid for a long time before slowly returning to her seat. Fortunately, when she came back, Elena, who had been missing before, had appeared at some point and was sitting there with a glass of golden champagne beside her. She was looking at the auction house nonchalantly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Aina!"
Haitong didn't care what she was thinking. She just felt like a drowning person grabbing the only piece of driftwood and ran over quickly.
"Where have you been?" she asked.
Elena retracted her gaze when she saw her, gave her some attention, sat sideways facing her, and did not answer her question directly. Instead, she said, "I saw that you were not here, and I guessed that you went to the bathroom, so I asked someone to leave a glass of champagne for you. Here."
She pushed the champagne to Haitong and changed the subject: "The auction is about to start. Have you looked at the brochure? Are you interested?"
Hai Tong was distracted by her and sat down next to her. She took the champagne she pushed over and said, "Thank you," flattered.
Then she took a sip, and then she realized the question Elena asked, and said nonchalantly: "I don't have any money, and even if I had some spare money, I wouldn't use it to buy these things! What can these things be used for? They are all antiques. Time is moving forward, and old things should be eliminated when they are eliminated."
Elena responded with a smile, pretending not to hear the resentment in her words.
The Shang Dynasty Double Sheep Zun is one of her collections on the island.
She has a lot of stuff like this in her private collection, and these are just little gifts she gives out to build a good relationship with Cage.
But she didn't expect that even people like Haitong from Beijing had no interest in this collection.
Elena turned her head and looked at the auctioneer who had already come on stage, and said to Haitong: "It will start soon."
Haitong took another big sip of champagne and barely managed to suppress her emotions, even though the lights around her began to dim.
But she still felt that someone was watching her, or even whispering something to her.
