No Protection Tonight

Chapter 2

Views:

Schumann does not have any belief in religion, no matter Buddhism, Taoism or Christianity.

But she appreciates religious aesthetics very much. Looking up at the dome of the church, there are oil paintings on the four walls. The broken chandelier in the middle has been replaced by the organizer in order to welcome the feast tonight. Blingbling can not only create a beautiful scenery by itself but also attract others A crystal chandelier that illuminates the landscape.

Under the blowing of the wind, the cut surface of the crystal shows off its beauty in 360° without dead angle.

Even the row of display cabinets under the chandelier looks luxurious under its light.

Maybe she appreciated it too seriously, but she didn't submit her sincere invitation to God.

So God punished Qiao Shiyun to sit next to her.

The two looked at each other in dismay, coincidentally embarrassed.

Conscience of heaven and earth, this time it's really not Qiao Shiyun trying to catch up with Schumanning. Her boyfriend Yu Bizhou didn't know what was possessed by him. Ever since he saw Li Yueze appearing, his whole attention was only on Li Yueze.

Even her serious girlfriend didn't bother to take a look. The two had been talking since they came in. It was all about financial issues. She couldn't understand. She happened to be a little tired from standing, so she thought about finding a place to sit down.

I didn't expect to see Schumanning as soon as I sat down.

She looked at Schumanning, and saw that she was wearing a plain cheongsam of fragrant cloud gauze today, and when she sat down, her long straight black hair was trying to compete with her graceful figure, who would be more upright.

Qiao Shiyun sarcastically said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you still look so prudish. I heard that you opened a handmade shop on Taobao. How about it? Is it 9 yuan and 9 free shipping?"

After hearing her words, Schumann couldn't help but sneered and said, "You miss me so much, can't you live without me?"

During the class reunion two years ago, I don’t know which classmate saw a store on Taobao, which was exactly the same as the work that Schumann posted in Moments, so I concluded that it was the Taobao studio opened by Schumann.

This has been ridiculed for a long time in the classmate circle of "everyone is either white, rich and beautiful or tall, rich and handsome".

It's just that Schuman didn't bother to explain, that studio stole her drawings and designs.

"Laughing." Qiao Shiyun raised her eyebrows in disdain, and was about to continue talking, when her boyfriend suddenly appeared in her sight, and she quickly stood up, "Bi Zhou~"

The aisle in the seating area is narrow, and Yu Bizhou took the lead, turning his head from time to time to talk to Li Yueze behind him, "Mr. Li, I think the Nancheng Peninsula project is real, you are too discerning! If it becomes a resort in the future—"

Talking eloquently, he didn't notice that Qiao Shiyun was calling him, and just walked forward to find an empty seat.

Shumaning sits in the first position on the left, and everyone who comes in from this side will pass by her. In order to keep a distance for people to pass, Schumaning keeps her legs together.

one, two, three—

Suddenly I regretted sitting here.

I was bored and looked up to see how many people were left.

Unexpectedly, he met those deep eyes, but for a moment, the man looked away.

The man paused, and after Yu Bizhou and his assistant sat down in front, he naturally sat in the most empty seat in the middle.

Out of the corner of her eye, Schumann saw the 'God' who was sitting beside her.

Thank you, it's finally not Qiao Shiyun.

Schuman stared slightly sideways, and saw the man's hormonal Adam's apple, and the faint smile on his lips when talking with people. He was tall, probably about 1.86 meters, and he was half a head taller than her when he sat down.

It can be called a perfect jaw line, chiseled and deep features.

It is the favorite type of art students.

Xu Shi watched for a long time and forgot to move his eyes away. After the other party felt her gaze, he suddenly moved, as if he wanted to turn his head to look at her.

Schumaning hurriedly staggered away, looking at the lot that was being put into the display cabinet on the front table.

After a while, everything was ready, and the host on stage tapped the gavel.

The auction has officially started.

Compared with the serious auction of CHRISTIES, the auction held by "Depth" this time is more like a blatant deal with businessmen.

In August last year, Jian Qiusheng, the founder of "Depth", found a miniature palace carved with small-leaf red sandalwood from nowhere. It is said that it was an object used by the Ming Dynasty royal family, but the details are not clear.

"Depth" released the news early, knowing that the bosses love this rare product, they specially arranged relationships a few months in advance to let the wind out.

Of course, Jian Qiusheng did not do this business for nothing. On the one hand, he found other supporting auction items to earn an "intermediary fee" of 1.8 million. On the other hand, he still had his own big fish to catch.

Yu Bizhou watched the staff on the stage open the glass covers of the auction items one by one. There were seven items in total, and the other six items were for foil. Only the small-leaf red sandalwood palace in the middle was the main dish.

He glanced sideways at Li Yueze.

The man looked calm, and when he looked ahead, he happened to see the small-leaf red sandalwood palace.

"Mr. Li, is that what you are doing today?" Yu Bizhou asked.

Li Yueze smiled, noncommittal.

Scanning the other lots on the stage with his eyes, he suddenly saw a string of pearl necklaces placed in clam shells.

This clam shell seems to have been seen just now.

"150,000, does anyone want to raise the price?"

On the stage, a staff member in a black suit stood under the crystal chandelier. Behind him was a large screen supported by a tripod. The left and right sides were surrounded by auction items, which made him look extravagant.

"Okay, Mr. No. 6 has increased the price by 100,000, is there any more?"

"250,000, modern flower-and-bird painting, 250,000—for the last time, 250,000." The staff asked left and right, and would only drop the hammer if they didn't see the one raising the sign.

Schumann doesn't know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, with his left hand across his abdomen and his right hand resting on his left hand, as if thinking.

After thinking about it, I feel a little guilty. I didn't expect that a modern flower and bird painting can be photographed for 200 million yuan. In comparison, her pearl necklace can be sold for 50,000 yuan.

bang.

On the stage, the staff finally dropped the gavel.

Turning around, he introduced the next lot, and pressed the remote control on the large screen with his hand, on which were written the basic information of the lot, the author, and the year, and then there was a close-up high-definition 'buyer's picture'.

"5.2 carat Paraiba tourmaline necklace."

As soon as the spotlight was turned on, all eyes in the audience were looking at the treasure that seemed to have just been brought out from the bottom of the sea.

Schumann thought to herself: It's over.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked towards the workshop, trying to find Chen Wei.

She remembered her making it very clear that it wasn't a Paraiba tourmaline, it just looked like it.

No one could be seen to the left or right, Schumann put on a calm face, and took out his mobile phone to send Chen Wei a WeChat message.

Shumaning: What's the matter, didn't I say that this is not Paraiba

Putting down her mobile phone, Schumann breathed out in her throat. She was waiting for the staff to tell the starting price.

fifty thousand

Fifty thousand shouldn't be too much, yes, fifty thousand is good, almost enough.

However, wishes will always come true quietly when you don't want them to come.

"The starting price of this lot is 500,000."

Shumaning:

Some people didn't recover in one breath, and almost passed away like this with their heads thrown back.

Li Yueze noticed the suddenly stiff figure of the woman beside him, and her pale face, which seemed to be unwell.

But with a glance, he looked at the big screen on the stage again.

The man crossed his fingers and randomly placed them on his lower abdomen. From left to right, the photos of the lot are somewhat distorted, several degrees brighter than the real thing, but some flaws can still be seen.

The introduction of the work is not too much. Usually, this kind of work will write a creative inspiration or conception.

Until seeing the last line of five characters, Li Yueze's crossed fingers suddenly tightened.

The blue veins on the back of the hand were slightly raised, and the eyes stared at the line of words as if it had been a lifetime ago.

[Author: Schumanning]

But in a moment, the man has returned to normal.

A voice call suddenly sounded beside him interrupting his thoughts. He followed the sound and found that the woman next door was making a WeChat call.

The voice rang for a long time, but no one answered.

He looked at her, and suddenly remembered that when he was at the door, he heard someone call her name, combined with the introduction of the lot on the stage and the clam shell, he guessed that she was the author.

At the critical moment, Chen Wei could not be found, and no one answered the phone. Schuman was so anxious that he couldn't put his feet on the ground normally.

Just as she was about to get up and go out to find someone, she was a little flustered, and really didn't want to do anything ridiculous.

Suddenly I heard Qiao Shiyun's voice not far away, "Bi Zhou~ This necklace is so beautiful, I want it~"

She hugged Yu Bizhou's arm tightly.

Yu Bizhou was not surprised, women like these.

So he immediately raised his placard, "100,000."

Thinking that 600,000 yuan should be enough to win this necklace, he patted the back of his little girlfriend's hand to comfort him.

Turning sideways again, I tried to continue talking to Li Yueze about the Little Leaf Red Sandalwood Palace. If Li Yueze likes it, he can help to lower the price. After all, Jian Qiusheng and his father are best friends.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked at him, he saw Li Yueze calmly raised the sign in his hand.

"2 million."
