Xia Shao's family moved. shu mark 玷癞癹

This is the news that Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao learned from their neighbors. As for where they moved, the neighbors couldn't tell. This neighbor was also a talkative person. When someone came to see him, he gossiped: "Lao Xia's family took a lot of things with them when they moved out! I just took a few pieces of clothes, a few stacks of dishes, furniture and the like. It’s a big thing, but I didn’t see a car coming to pull it.”

In fact, there was no need to bring these clothes and dishes. After using them for many years, Xia Shao had long wanted to replace them with new ones for her parents. Moreover, the house in Taoyuan District is fully equipped with everything, so people can just move in there. But Li Juan has always been diligent and frugal in running her home, and she is nostalgic for the past, so she immediately said: "You always have to keep a few old things around you, so that it looks like you are living a good life, and your home feels like your own home."

Xia Shao naturally laughed it off. She knew that these were the traditions and rules of the older generation, so she let her mother do it. As long as she can adapt to the new home and move all the furniture from the old house, she has no problem with it.

Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao found no one, so they went downstairs and stood in the old alley outside the building, each frowning.

"It's true, brother and sister-in-law, you moved, why didn't you tell us?" Jiang Qiulin has always been a person who just enjoys the cool weather and watches a movie when she finds something wrong. Seeing that no one spoke, she was the first to speak and glanced around. Sweep the rest.

Xia Zhimei snorted and laughed angrily, "Why don't you say it? Didn't you hear our Yu Guang say that Xiao Shaozi picked up the blue and white porcelain plate from the Yuan Dynasty in the antique market? Now the blue and white porcelain is in the hands of Fu Ruixiang , it was obviously sold to someone else, and after getting some money, they moved quietly without even informing us relatives."

"No wonder the eldest brother and sister-in-law said that day that they could afford Xiao Shaozi to go to school in Qingshi. That's how the money came from." Help me, brother, am I the one who made the joke in the end?”

Liu Chunhui was not concerned about that. "Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law really sell this blue and white porcelain to Fu Ruixiang? Before Fu Ruixiang opened his business, Chen Manguan didn't have much money left. He wandered around the antique market all day long. If he had money, he would make a comeback early. Yes. How much money could he have to buy this blue and white porcelain? Why did my elder brother and sister-in-law just sell it?"

Xia Zhitao smiled, "Brother-in-law, do you think my elder brother and sister-in-law are as smart as you? How do they know about antiques? Maybe if someone gives me 35,000 yuan, they will think it is quite valuable, and they will just give it to me secretly without discussing it with me. Sold. How could I have known that someone else took advantage of it?"

No one knew how much Chen Manguan gave Xia Zhiyuan and his wife, but everyone felt that they should at least have enough money to buy a new house. Otherwise, with the financial conditions of Xia Zhiyuan's family, where would they get the money to buy a house

"This is the mentality of a small citizen. I have never seen the world, and a small favor can make people cheat on things. If this was not hidden from us, how could we have made them suffer such a big loss?" With an expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to ask my eldest brother and sister-in-law what it means to kick our Yuguang out in front of so many people!"

These days, mobile phones are not yet common, and most are home landlines. Xia Zhiyuan's family moved away, and naturally the landline could not be connected, and no one knew their new phone number. The two families refused to give up and drove to Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan's units, insisting on asking for details.

But he didn't expect that he would be in vain again.

Xia Zhiyuan's factory closed down, but Li Juan's factory was doing well, but she resigned.

The two families were dumbfounded—resigned? Doesn’t that mean both husband and wife no longer have jobs? How will we live after that? Is it possible that the large blue and white plate sold for a lot of money

Xia Zhimei was already filled with indignation because of her son's incident. She went to three places to find someone to explain to her but couldn't find anyone. How could she not get angry

"Okay! Okay! Brother and sister-in-law have done this very beautifully! I want to see if these relatives are no longer wanted or what? Will they not even return to their hometown in the future?"

Although Xia Zhimei comes from an ordinary family, she has been good at reading since she was a child and is considered knowledgeable in the Xia family. While her brothers and sisters were working as workers in the factory, she taught in the school, was respected by others, and had a high-minded nature. In addition, she married a capable husband, her family had tens of millions of assets, her son had good grades, her life was enviable, and she had never suffered any setbacks in half her life. Whether in school, society or at home, she thought she had the right to speak, but she didn't expect that she would fall into trouble with her elder brother and sister-in-law, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

She immediately asked her son to drive to the door of the hotel where the auction was held, but she didn't know that she didn't block Xia Shao from coming out.

Xia Shao left the exhibition hall long ago. After she invited Lin Hairu and Liu Yuguang out, she took the four Liu Cuicui to the leisure area and briefly talked about her past years. Liu Cuicui and others were shocked, but they couldn't help but blame her for keeping it secret for so long. Xia Shao just laughed it off. She originally planned to take her friends to visit the exhibition hall, but when she kicked Lin Hairu out, she attracted the attention of many people. Some people had already recognized her, and some people looked at the people next to them. As soon as people inquired about her, their expressions immediately changed and they came to greet her one after another.

When Xia Shao saw this situation, she had to take the opportunity to go to the bathroom and took her friends out of the side door of the hotel. They found a teahouse to sit down and had a good chat.

Xia Zhimei had a lot of troubles that day, and everything she did was not going well. The stubbornness in her heart came up and she had to block Xia Shao!

But she didn't have nothing to do. Seeing that her son was on summer vacation, she ordered him to sit in the car and watch at the door of the hotel every day. If she saw someone, she would immediately call her home and ask the two families to come back.

The auction lasted for three days. On the evening of the third day, the Dongcheng City Government and Huaxia Company held a dance party in the hotel to entertain celebrities from all walks of life who attended the auction. Among these celebrities, Li Boyuan, chairman of Hong Kong Jiahui Group, is undoubtedly a heavyweight. He didn't come to the auction for the past three days, but he flew over from Hong Kong for tonight's dance party.

Moreover, the newly appointed Mayor of Dongshi Liu Jingquan will also attend tonight's dance.

What makes everyone even more puzzled is that Sun Changde, the general manager of Huaxia Auction Company, and Chen Manguan, the general manager of Fulixiang Antiques House, jointly released news, saying that there was something important to be announced tonight.

Sun Changde can be said to be an upstart in the upper-class circles of Dongcheng City, and Chen Manguan is also very popular. The two of them jointly released the news, which made many people confused - what is the purpose of these two people joining forces? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd

Regardless of whether they are unpredictable or interested, whether they want to make connections or participate in the auction, in short, tonight, the eyes of the entire Dongshi City are focused here.

Not just those from Dongshi, it can be said that the entire antique collecting community and the upper class circles in the province are focused on this. Not only Dongshi TV Station, but also well-known TV stations in the province sent people. Various media entered the venue early to prepare, as if they were going to hold a press conference.

As night falls, the neon lights shine brightly in front of the star-rated hotel in the city center, and a new black family-style Mercedes-Benz slowly drives towards the hotel.

In the car, a girl got out. This girl is of Ruhua's age, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is not wearing a dress, but a light brown cheongsam. It has a light brown background, with bright and white camellia blooming on it, standing in the shadow of the lamp, like a beauty stepping out of a yellowed ancient painting.

She got out of the car, turned around with a smile and opened the door of the back seat. When she turned around, she revealed an ancient jade hairpin in her hair that was casually tied up. A snow-white and yellowish little fox was lying on her back, instantly adding a touch of charm.

She invited a middle-aged couple out of the car. The man was in a suit and leather shoes and looked quite natural, while the woman seemed a little stage frightened. But the woman's figure can be said to be slender. She is wearing a plain dress of excellent material. A string of pearl necklaces around her neck, which are not eye-catching, make her temperament gentle and clean and decent.

Li Juan looked at her skirt uncomfortably as soon as she got off the car. Although it was not exposed, she always felt like others would laugh at her. She looked around and saw that many people walking into the hotel were attracted by her daughter's temperament, and they all looked over in amazement. She was even more frightened, "Xiao Shao'er, how about... you go in with your dad, and mom sits in the car waiting for you. Mom has never been to this dance, so don't wait to go in without knowing anything. It will embarrass you." "

"What are you talking about?" Before Xia Shao could say anything, Xia Zhiyuan looked at his wife, "If my daughter was afraid that we would embarrass her, she wouldn't have asked us to come. Besides, as the old saying goes, no mother is too ugly. Look at our daughter. Is she such a vain child? She was able to achieve such achievements at such a young age. We didn’t know it before. This is a dereliction of duty as a parent. You might as well follow her and have a look today. Do you think whose child has such a young age? Are you self-made? As parents, we should be proud. Just stand tall and go in. Our family is generous and no one will be left behind."

Xia Shao nodded with a smile, and when her mother looked at her, she gave her an encouraging look.

Li Juan took a deep breath and seemed to think what her husband said made sense. Then she took her husband's arm and raised her chest and head. She maintained this posture for three seconds, then stiffened her neck and turned around and asked, "Is that so? I Look at all the rich ladies who go in like this."

Xia Shao suppressed her laughter, stepped forward and took her mother's arm, smiled and patted the back of her mother's hand, "Mom, just relax, there is no need to imitate them."

The family entered the hotel lobby arm in arm, a warm scene.

On the street opposite the hotel, the window of a car was rolled down, revealing Liu Yuguang's incredulous face.

That's... my uncle's family

Liu Yuguang wasn't sure whether he was dazzled because Xia Zhiyuan's family was dressed so differently than usual. He took out his mobile phone and hurriedly called home, but when he was waiting to hang up, Xia Shao had already walked in with his parents. into the hotel lobby.

The music in the hotel was soft and elegant, and there were celebrities everywhere chatting with each other over cocktails. As soon as Xia Shao and her parents came in, they attracted a lot of amazing eyes.

"Mr. Xia!" Chen Manguan and Sun Changde noticed Xia Shao's arrival and were the first to come to her. Tonight's press conference is just for Xia Shao. Her identity has moved from behind the scenes to the stage. They can no longer call her "Miss Xia". She was not used to hearing it before, and it was also to hide it from others temporarily. Now there is no need to hide it anymore, she has to get used to it. After all, as a boss, it is necessary to pay attention to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, so as to establish prestige in front of the employees below.

Xia Shao smiled and nodded. Seeing that her parents were there, Chen Manguan and Sun Changde couldn't help but solemnly shake hands with her family and say hello. Both of them are veterans in shopping malls and are good at interpersonal communication. They will not make the atmosphere awkward, but it will reduce the pressure that is not nervous for Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan who are seeing this kind of scene for the first time.

The couple slowly let go while chatting, and through chatting, they also found that Chen Manguan spoke more truthfully and did not boast, while Sun Changde was in his thirties and had reached a stable age, but he still spoke with a young man's tone. of surging passion and a more active personality.

Xia Zhiyuan was secretly relieved. Although at her age, her daughter has the ability and personal charm to win over two experienced shopping mall veterans, but as a parent, she always has to worry about some parents to help her daughter. After seeing her like this today, Xia Zhiyuan felt that her daughter had good taste.

Sun Changde and Chen Manguan have been the focus of attention for the past few days. After the two released news that they would jointly announce an important event tonight, many eyes have been watching their movements. At this moment, both of them came to Xia Shao, and the celebrities in the venue couldn't help but be surprised when they saw them.

Mr. Sun, Mr. Chen, and Miss Xia—aren’t these the three most frequently mentioned in the upper-class circles of Dongshi recently

Some thoughtful people immediately remembered the place where Xia Shao showed people their Feng Shui fortunes, which was in Fu Ruixiang's shop.

Some people even learned the inside story that Huaxia Auction Company obtained the right to host this auction because Xia Shao mentioned it in front of certain political figures.

In other words, Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen have a close relationship with Miss Xia

Even some people who wanted to take this opportunity to figure out the connection came to say hello with wine glasses and smiles on their faces.

In the blink of an eye, a group of people surrounded the three of them. The dance hadn't even started yet, and even before everyone had arrived, the three of them had already become the focus of the venue.

But, who are Chen Manguan and Sun Changde? A veteran of the shopping mall, and the other a newbie from the East Market, but a good communicator. How can these two people join forces and make people come up with something before the show starts? Any probing words were easily muffled by the two of them playing Tai Chi.

The two of them actually have some bad intentions - I think we were also so surprised by Mr. Xia at the beginning, but today it is finally someone else's turn! Want to know now? That won't work, it won't work, it won't work, otherwise, whose show will we watch later

These celebrities were speechless when they saw the trick. They couldn't help but change the topic angrily and began to surround Xia Shao.

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan stood behind their daughter and were surrounded three floors inside and three floors outside. Both husband and wife felt a lot of pressure, but they saw their daughter standing quietly with a smile, calm and calm, dealing with these celebrities. It looked like something neither the couple had ever seen before. For a moment, they suddenly felt like their daughter had grown up.

However, this feeling did not last long, because soon, the couple was troubled by the problems of these celebrities.

“Ms.

"Ms. Xia, the futures have been losing money recently. Can you give us a forecast as to when they will rise?"

"Ms. Xia, I recently want to switch my business to other industries, but I am a little hesitant. Can you tell me whether it is better to invest or not?"

“Ms.

This, what are these problems!

Xia Zhiyuan looked behind and his mouth twitched. These are people with status and fame in society. Do they believe this in private

In the past few days, since he moved to the house in Taoyuan District, Xia Shao has set up a Feng Shui array in the yard, often tinkering with this and that. At first he was curious and asked a few questions, and then he knew She actually set up some sort of Five Elements Adjustment Formation at home, saying it could gather energy, recuperate the body and mind, make it easier to fall asleep at night, and calm the mind.

The daughter began not to avoid the feng shui things that the couple did, and would mutter a few words in front of them when she had nothing to do. The two knew that her daughter was trying to make them gradually adapt to it.

In fact, after Xia Zhiyuan listened to some of Xia Shao's most basic explanations of metaphysics, he felt that it made some sense and that some things could indeed be explained. But deep-rooted ideas are difficult to change all at once. Even if he slowly removes these prejudices, he still believes that there must be many people in the world who have the same prejudices as him.

But tonight, his "thinking" suddenly collapsed, and he couldn't help but smile - what? Do these celebrities in society actually care so much about things like Feng Shui and fortune in private

Xia Zhiyuan just didn't expect that the higher a person is in power, money, fame, and wealth, the more afraid they are of losing these things. It is very common to believe in Feng Shui things for peace of mind.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, there were endless questions to ask. From company finance to family and marriage, to travel divination, all kinds of questions subverted Xia Zhiyuan's previous understanding in a short time, and made him feel uncomfortable. He seemed to have seen the other side of these celebrities, or in other words, the other side of the human heart.

Seeing these people asking their daughters anxiously and wanting to know what the future looks like, Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan looked at each other and suddenly felt that the lives of these people were very tiring, just as they had spent half their lives running for a living. What a difference. It's just that these people have both fame and fortune, and have big families and big businesses, while they and their husbands have a small family and a small business, with pots and pans. In fact, everyone is equally tired, no matter you are glamorous or not.

The couple gradually lowered their eyes, both thinking deeply. What do people want in this life? No matter how famous or profitable you are, in the end it will be unpredictable.

With this change in their mood, the two of them gradually no longer felt the difference between themselves and these celebrities. Instead, they felt that people were actually the same in some aspects.

The couple looked at each other again, smiled, and felt like they suddenly looked away.

At this time, no one was wandering around and chatting in the entire hall. Instead, everyone gathered around, and Xia Shao had become the center of attention.

At this time, a loud and majestic voice came: "Is this Master Xia who has become famous during this time?"

This voice did not sound like the surprise and respect that most people had when seeing Xia Shao, but rather a bit of disdain and slight anger. People around him turned their heads one after another, and when they saw the person coming, they couldn't help but started talking in a low voice, and immediately gave way to a way.

A middle-aged couple walked out of the path that everyone had given way to. The man was of medium height, slightly fat, and his eyes were very powerful. The woman was slender and wearing a dark purple evening dress. Before the person arrived, she was staring at Xia Shaomian with a bad look.

Xia Shao understood this woman's features as soon as she saw her - she was here to cause trouble. Lin Hairu's parents, the general manager and his wife of Lin Group.

"Master Xia, I have admired you for a long time. I have always wanted to pay you a visit. I heard that Master Xia is very busy with business and the appointments have been scheduled until next year. I thought it was fate that I, Lin Xiangquan, and Master Xia have not met. Unexpectedly, Master Xia actually gave me a visit. Opportunity."

Lin Xiangquan walked over with a smile, and there was something in his words that everyone could hear the smell of gunpowder.

Everyone present knew the meaning of Lin Xiangquan's last words, but Xia Shao's parents did not. They also saw that the other party was not kind, so Li Juan grabbed her daughter's hand from behind and tried to protect her. Xia Shao patted her mother gently to reassure her that nothing would happen.

At this time, Mrs. Lin also smiled, with sharp eyes, and glanced at the celebrities around her, "Why don't you pay me a visit? He is just a gangster, and he really deceived so many people into becoming a master? A good auction dance , did it turn into a Feng Shui fortune consultation meeting? Oh, the reporters outside didn’t let in. If they came in and saw it, there would be something written in the newspaper tomorrow."

When she said this, many people frowned slightly. Some people's eyes dodge, some people simply retreat quietly, and some people's eyes are dissatisfied.

In the domestic policy environment, metaphysics and Feng Shui cannot be openly publicized. But that doesn't stop some people from believing in it, especially people like them, who want to find peace of mind, which is what we both want. Moreover, people who have looked for Xia Shao are impressed by her accuracy. Although they find it mysterious, they can't help but believe it.

Mrs. Lin has the right to disbelieve, but there is no need to speak like this. Wouldn't it just make everyone present laugh? No wonder many people frowned.

Xia Shao was not dissatisfied. She smiled lightly and nodded slightly. Her demeanor was very well-educated, but the words she said made Mrs. Lin's nose crooked with anger.

"That's right. It's a good auction exhibition, but the day before yesterday was turned into a scolding party by my wife. Fortunately, no reporters were invited in that day, otherwise there would have been content in the newspapers in the past two days."

"Pfft!" Someone in the crowd laughed and quickly shut up, causing many people to lower their heads and raise the corners of their mouths slightly.

However, the expressions of Lin Xiangquan and his wife changed. Lin Xiangquan's face turned cold. Just now, there was a sneer on his face, but now the sneer was gone. "Master Xia, don't you think it's too much? My daughter is spoiled, but I Lin Xiangquan is also a well-known person in Dongshi, if you invite her out like this, where can I put my face?"

Lin Xiangquan is worthy of being the general manager of Lin Group, the leading enterprise in Dongcheng. The dignity he has accumulated in daily life is not fake. This cold glare made many people feel pressured.

Xia Shao still smiled calmly, "Mr. Lin, who's parents don't dote on their children? Doting is one thing, but spoiling them is another thing. Cause and effect will have their own rewards. Please remember, Mr. Lin, if When you get the result, please look for the cause in yourself."

Lin Xiangquan and his wife were stunned. They didn't expect Xia Shao to say that. Most people tend to argue angrily when faced with accusations. But this Xia Shao is different. She is neither annoyed nor angry, nor does she argue with you or argue with you, but the words she speaks often make you feel nervous.

Lin Xiangquan suddenly felt something in his heart. It was not that he didn't believe in Feng Shui at all, especially since he had heard many stories about Xia Shao's ability to predict people's futures very accurately. But Lin Xiangquan felt that he would have looked for Xia Shao in the past, but now, is it necessary? The Lin Group has investment from Mr. Li from Hong Kong. Mr. Li controls the group. If the Li family does not collapse, the Lin Group will not have any problems.

What is Lee? A world-class multinational group! Ranked in the top 100 of Forbes' list of the world's richest people. How can you just say it will fall

Lin Xiangquan's feeling now is like hugging a towering tree. This giant tree will not fall, and he will have a place to stay in the shade for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Lin Xiangquan sneered, put his hands behind his back and said: "Master Xia, I advise you to stop playing tricks! I, Lin Xiangquan, have lived for most of my life, and I know some of the tricks of you gangsters. Isn't it just that you have figured out the opponent in advance? Do you want to ask people for good fortune or misfortune? I think you are not old, and you are quite capable. So many celebrities have been deceived by you. However, you don’t want to ask me, Lin Xiangquan, who I am, we Lin Xiangquan Who is behind the Lin Group, what will happen to our Lin Group? What a joke!"

When he said this, many people looked at Xia Shao. These people are also well-informed people and naturally know the ways of charlatanism. Some of them were suspicious when they found Xia Shao, so they sometimes asked her about what happened to her that day to see if she could tell. , she smiles every time and never makes any mistakes! This makes some people believe it.

People are so weird sometimes. Once something that is originally considered mysterious is exposed by others, no matter whether the explanation is right or wrong, it will become possible when you think about it. Immediately, some people looked at Xia Shao, wanting to hear her explanation.

Xia Shao didn't explain anything. She just smiled deeply and shook her head gently. "It turns out that there are people in this world who only care about money and not life. You need to know that things outside of you are easy to find. How can you avoid misfortune and death in vain?" of?"

In one sentence, the atmosphere in the venue hall changed again!

People are really weird sometimes. One moment they are still doubting you, and the next moment they hear other people's gossip, they will immediately change their target.

Death in vain? What does it mean? Does it mean that Mr. Lin is in trouble

"Bastard! You...you dare to curse our Lin Group?!" Mrs. Lin screamed sharply, her face white with anger. "How did your parents teach you? You didn't learn well at a young age! You have such a mean mouth!"

Seeing that her husband was accused of misfortune, Mrs. Lin was naturally angry and angry. She raised her hand and slapped Xia Shao on the face.

Li Juan made a sound from behind and hurriedly pulled her daughter back, while Xia Zhiyuan stepped forward to block her face. The couple were also frightened, angry, and trembling with anger. They were behind Xia Shao. At this moment, they naturally heard from Chen Manguan the ins and outs of what happened the day before yesterday. The daughter of the Lin family was unruly and willful, and her daughter did nothing wrong. How could her parents beat someone with their hands

Unexpectedly, Xia Shao was faster than her parents. She took a step forward before her mother grabbed her. She blocked her father's step forward with one side of her body, and at the same time grabbed Mrs. Lin's wrist!

The smile on her face finally faded, and her eyes became cold. When Mrs. Lin was stunned and had not yet reacted, she slightly approached her and said slowly: "Mrs. Lin, my parents don't need you to greet me." , you can go back and greet your daughter. I will return to you exactly what you just said. When you have time, go back and teach your daughter well, so as not to cry husband in the future! I am just telling the truth, the one with the mean mouth is your daughter!"

Xia Shao held Mrs. Lin's wrist and shook her back. Mrs. Lin's high-heeled feet suddenly twisted and she almost fell to the ground! Lin Xiangquan hurriedly helped her behind her, but his wife bumped into him with considerable force. The couple took a few steps back at the same time, staggering and losing face.

Lin Xiang's face turned red and his lips trembled with anger. He supported his wife with one hand and pointed at Xia Shao with the other hand, "I thought you were young and didn't want to argue with you. Just give me an apology for what happened the day before yesterday." , I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant! This is really, really... When did our Lin family treat people so rudely on the ground of Dongshi? Do you believe it or not that I told you that you can’t survive on the ground of Dongshi!”

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Tell her that she can't survive in Dongshi? This Mr. Lin is quite interesting.

Seeing that she was still laughing, Lin Xiangquan also laughed angrily, "Okay! Okay! You don't believe it?" He raised his eyes and glanced angrily, "Where is the organizer! Where are the security guards!"

The security guard didn't dare to come over, but Sun Changde came out of the crowd, "Mr. Lin, don't look for the security guard. The security guard was beaten by Ling Ai the day before yesterday, and now he is afraid of you Lin family members. Tell me if you have anything."

"Mr. Sun!" Although Lin Xiangquan heard the sarcasm in Sun Changde's words, he was currently angry with Xia Shao and planned to deal with her first, "Mr. Sun is just here! How did your organizer invite the person? When did the Jianghu Can a magician act like a socialite? Please get her out!"

Sun Changde had no expression on his face and kept his hands in his pockets, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Miss Xia is our distinguished guest!"

"Distinguished guest? Mr. Sun means that this charlatan can become your distinguished guest just like our Lin Group, right?"

Sun Changde remained expressionless and raised his eyebrows, "Sorry, Mr. Lin. Miss Xia is not a charlatan."

Sun Changde's attitude made Lin Xiangquan stunned, and then he nodded angrily with a smile, "Okay! Okay! You are in the same group. I have long heard that Mr. Sun won the right to hold the auction this time because someone was behind it. Come on, it seems that this person is Miss Xia."

Lin Xiangquan smiled gloomily and nodded: "Okay, she is a distinguished guest of your Huaxia Company, and I, Lin Xiangquan, am not! If she doesn't leave, I'll leave!" He greeted his wife, and the couple took two steps angrily. Lin Xiangquan turned around again, Pointing at Sun Changde and Xia Shao, "But listen to me! Today I, Lin Xiangquan, can walk out of here, and tomorrow I can call you Huaxia Auction Company, and you! There is no place for me in Dongshi!"

"Who are you trying to tell them to have no place in Dongshi?"

Lin Xiangquan's harsh words silenced the venue. No one expected such a commotion tonight. Many people looked at Sun Changde. Is Mr. Sun crazy? The Lin Group is a group that is heavily supported by the Dong Municipal Government. With the investment from Mr. Li from Hong Kong, it is a real leading enterprise in the Dong Market. If you offend him, it will be difficult to get along in the Dong Market in the future.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

Everyone in the entire venue hall turned their heads, and the atmosphere suddenly became quieter.

At the door, Mayor Liu Jingquan walked in accompanied by an old man.

Many people have never seen this old man in person, but they often see him in various financial magazines around the world - Li Boyuan, the chairman of Hong Kong Jiahui Group.

Lin Xiangquan didn't expect Li Boyuan to arrive at this time. He still had a scowl on his face. He quickly changed his face and put on a smile, and greeted him excitedly. Mrs. Lin also hurriedly changed her smile and limped along despite her sprained foot. Walk behind her husband.

"Chairman Li, when did you arrive? We didn't even notify me, so I could take care of you!" Lin Xiangquan nodded and bowed, but did not dare to reach out to shake Li Boyuan's hand. After all, with Li Boyuan's identity and influence in the Chinese world, he is not qualified to hold it if he doesn't reach out.

Although Li Boyuan was over sixty years old, he stood calmly and still had an elegant demeanor. He nodded and smiled: "I just arrived. Isn't that right? I was invited by Mayor Liu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, he saw Boss Lin who seemed unhappy. ?”

"Uh, no no. Just now..." Lin Xiangquan didn't know how to say it.

Li Boyuan raised his head, but his eyes crossed the crowd and landed accurately on a girl standing in the center with a slight smile.

His eyes lit up, and his previously majestic expression immediately relaxed, and he walked over with a healthy pace. Before he could pass by, he stretched out his hand, looking extremely eager, "Oh! I have a daughter in my family who has just grown up! We haven’t seen each other for a year, and my niece’s appearance has changed!”

Xia Shao smiled, stretched out his hand to shake Li Boyuan's hand, "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a year. I hope you are in good spirits."

"What's so good? As we get older, this is what happens no matter what. You, on the other hand, haven't even called me this year, which makes me, an old man, miss you so much!" Li Boyuan said with a smile.

Xia Shao smiled, raised her eyebrows, and said without any courtesy, "You miss me? I think you miss that big blue and white plate, right? I don't care, I've kept it for you for a year, and you can get it at the auction tomorrow. Give me some extra storage fees.”

Li Boyuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Xia Shao meant. He couldn't help being amused by her, and he raised his head and laughed, "You girl! You are only thinking about the money in my old man's pocket! Okay, I will keep it for you." Fei! Don’t worry.”

The two of them chatted as they met, but there was dead silence in the hall.

Even Xia Shao's parents opened their eyes in shock. They had heard that their daughter had met Li Boyuan by chance because of blue and white porcelain, but they didn't expect that their daughter would be so familiar with this influential old man in the Chinese world

Xia Zhiyuan and his wife knew that Xia Shao knew Li Boyuan, so they were somewhat mentally prepared, but they were both shocked by her. Needless to say about the rest of the people present.

In the deathly silence, Mr. and Mrs. Lin stiffened their necks and turned their heads.

What's going on

World, world niece? Did they...hear that right

This, this magical girl is Mr. Li's... junior

Before Mr. and Mrs. Lin could react, a low gasping sound could be heard in the venue.

Miss Xia is Mr. Li's junior? Are they so familiar? Also, isn’t that blue and white plate from Fu Ruixiang? Why do you think that's not what the two of them mean

Although many people still couldn't understand it, some people who came to see Xia Shao to see her Feng Shui fortune couldn't help but pat their thighs - Ouch! Missed opportunity! If I had known that Miss Xia had such a relationship with Mr. Li, why didn't I try to establish more contact with her when I came to see her for Feng Shui

Li Boyuan turned around at this time and asked: "By the way, Boss Lin, I just heard you say who should have no place in Dongshi?"

He looked like he had just heard this sentence and didn't know the details, but Lin Xiangquan shook his head stupidly, and after realizing it, he waved his hand quickly, "No, no! Mr. Li, it's a misunderstanding! Haha, it's a misunderstanding!"

Liu Jingquan also came over at this time, showing off his official power, and said with his hands behind his back: "Mr. Lin, no matter what the misunderstanding is, it's better not to speak so harshly. Everyone is contributing to the economic development of Dongshi, and we must unite. , we need harmony!”

Lin Xiangquan immediately nodded with a wry smile, "Haha, Mayor Liu, you are right, I was a little angry just now. Uh... Miss Xia, don't take it to heart, I, Old Lin, just have a bad temper, haha."

As soon as he said this apology, Lin Xiangquan's face felt hot. He turned around and glared at his wife secretly - It's all your fault! Why do you want me to come here to vent your anger on my daughter? Did you offend someone

Mrs. Lin looked aggrieved - how did I know that this girl from an ordinary background had so much energy

In response to Lin Xiangquan's apology, Xia Shao just smiled and nodded, looking very generous and not intending to argue with him - why should she argue with a person who didn't have long to live

Now that Liu Jingquan and Li Boyuan have arrived, they are all here. Before the dance started, there was a press conference.

People from various media outlets had already been settled at the press conference venue. The group, headed by Liu Jingquan and Li Boyuan, were invited into the press conference venue under the leadership of the venue staff.

There are over 300 celebrities coming tonight. All of them are entrepreneurs with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and the rest are also leaders in all walks of life. They are all from the East City, the province, outside the province and even across the country. have.

Such a group of people gathered together and were violently photographed by flashbulbs as soon as they appeared. However, these people had all seen the scene before, and they all smiled and calmly took their seats at the bottom. The shock I felt in the ball hall just now was no longer noticeable at this moment.

There was a row of tables and chairs at the press conference, and flowers and microphones were neatly placed on the table.

Liu Jingquan, the mayor of Dongshi City, naturally sat in the middle, and there were four others sitting with him.

Beside Liu Jingquan is Li Boyuan on his left hand, and Xia Shao on his right hand. Next to Xia Shao and Li Boyuan were Chen Manguan and Sun Changde.

As soon as the five people sat down, the people below, including the media, were stunned. When the media came today, they naturally had information in their hands - on the left hand side of Dongshi Mayor Liu Jingquan was Mr. Li Bo, the chairman of the Hong Kong Jiahui Group and a very famous figure in the Chinese world. The person next to Mr. Li is Chen Manguan, the general manager of Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop, which is the antique shop with Yuan Qinghua that Mr. Li is interested in. The remaining man is naturally the general manager of Huaxia Auction Company, Sun Changde. Since the auction company is a new enterprise these days, this young and promising man is also extremely conspicuous.

So, who is the remaining girl

Why did she sit on it together, and the seat was still on the right side of Mayor Liu Jingquan

The media didn't know Xia Shao, but the group of invited celebrities who were in the hall just now were stunned.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they felt like something was going to happen tonight.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the top and they began to listen to Liu Jingquan's speech. His speech was nothing more than official. He first briefly talked about the achievements of Dongshi in economic development in recent years, and then talked about some policies and measures of the municipal government to promote the economy. Finally, I talked about this auction, and expressed my gratitude to Li Boyuan, who invested in Dongshi Ceramics Industry, and gave encouragement to Huaxia Auction Company, a rising star in the emerging industry, and Fu Ruixiang, a leading antique shop in the province.

Although it was official, someone was still keeping records. But as soon as Liu Jingquan put down the microphone, everyone looked up. It seemed that they couldn't wait to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

Finally, after Li Boyuan also spoke politely, expressing his optimism about the economic development of the mainland and encouraging mainland entrepreneurs to go global, Sun Changde took the microphone.

"First of all, thank you for attending the press conference of the Auction Ball today. Before, Mr. Chen from Fu Ruixiang and I said that there is something important to announce tonight. This matter may shock you a little, but - Please believe us, we are not joking."

Sun Changde turned to look at Chen Manguan. The two nodded and smiled, while the flashbulbs crackled.

"What we want to announce is that starting today, Fu Ruixiang Antiques and Huaxia Auction Company will merge into the Huaxia Group!"

The people below were stunned—Huaxia Group

So, who is the chairman

Company mergers are not uncommon, but when a group is established, the most troublesome thing is the position of chairman. It would be fine if they were from the same company, but now Huaxia Auction Company and Fu Ruixiang Antiques Company obviously do not have the same boss.

Mr. Sun or Mr. Chen, who will be the chairman

Some people think it should be Chen Manguan - he is older, has sufficient business qualifications and has wide connections.

Some people think it’s Sun Changde—are you stupid? Does the appointment of chairman also depend on business qualifications? Let’s see who has the most shares? Obviously, after Huaxia Auction Company acquired Wu's assets, it had assets of over one billion. Who else could it be but Sun Changde

The two of them looked at each other and smiled amidst everyone's speculation. Chen Manguan took the microphone and solemnly introduced: "Please let me solemnly introduce the chairman of our Huaxia Group, Miss Xia Shao."

heavy bomb!

The people below were immediately blown away by this bomb and their minds went blank!

who

Are they hearing hallucinations in their ears

The flash stopped for a while, and then suddenly came like a rainstorm! There was a sound of gasping from below!

Xia Shao was submerged in the blinding flash, but she smiled calmly. There was no stage fright, no pride, no joy and excitement, and I calmly accepted all the incredible and shocked looks.

Compared with her calmness and elegance, the people below are completely unable to remain calm!

Especially those who knew Xia Shao's identity as a Feng Shui master and asked her to tell their fortunes, they felt that this world was even more fantasy-the chairman of Huaxia Group hid in Fu Ruixiang's teahouse every day, reading Feng Shui and telling fortunes to people? This is the strangest chairman in the world, okay!

And, how old is she? sixteen? Seventeen? You're just in high school, right—Chairman? What nonsense! That’s an asset of more than 2 billion!

All kinds of doubts, followed by all kinds of questions, were thrown down together with the dazzling flashlight.

"Miss Xia, are you really the chairman of Huaxia Group? The head of Fu Ruixiang and Huaxia Auction Company?"

"You founded these two companies? How did you set them up?"

"Excuse me, are you still studying? Can I ask about your age and family background?"

Various inquiries seemed to want to dig out all the details about Xia Shao. However, no matter what question the media asked, Xia Shao answered unhurriedly and spoke concisely and clearly.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be said, but the process of establishing the company is briefly discussed. Although it was just a few words, many people still didn't understand the details, but the eyes of the media below, including celebrities, changed.

It was unbelievable, but it suddenly dawned on me.

No wonder!

No wonder Chen Manguan opened an antique shop when his business failed and he didn't have the funds to make a comeback.

No wonder Mr. Li and Miss Xia mentioned the blue and white porcelain plate. It turned out that it had always belonged to Miss Xia!

No wonder Huaxia wants to merge with Fu Ruixiang. It turns out that Huaxia was established to acquire Wu's Antique Shop.

But after so many strange things, people were in disbelief.

How did such a sixteen-year-old girl develop her ability to identify antiques? This kind of decisiveness in seizing the opportunity, the courage to start a business at a young age, and the handwriting of setting up an auction company to acquire antique shops! Each stroke makes people feel that she is too mature and stable to be a girl of her age.

Yes, it is the feeling of maturity and stability. Just like now, she is sitting in the spotlight, but she still smiles lightly. Her cheongsam dress makes her classic face look like pink porcelain, quiet and elegant.

This is not like the bearing of a young girl, but like a person who has experienced many hardships and hardships, sitting here, enjoying the glory that is deserved.

As the reporters' questions gradually dwindled, and only flashlights were left on the scene, the people who witnessed the incident gradually became quiet.

People looked at the girl sitting peacefully under the dazzling light, and suddenly felt that this moment was a kind of witness.

A legendary era seems to be about to begin...
