Chapter 17 auctions

On the day of the bidding meeting, I still went and sat on the rostrum as a display. The jade jewelry exhibition has closed, and the models performed very well, contributing a lot to the publicity.Therefore, the people who came to participate in the bidding crowded the venue, and the bidders raised their signs again and again, in a patchwork manner. At the most macro level, a whole row of people could raise their signs at the same time. The auctioneer is very excited, because every sale means that he gets another 10% bonus.So he seemed much happier than me. It’s okay, others are nervous and working hard, I am happy and relaxed, and let my mind wander around the world, looking east and west.

At this time, a jade eagle is being auctioned. The auctioneer memorized his homework and spoke eloquently: "We have reason to believe that this jade eagle is an ancient jade from the Shang Dynasty. It is a rare treasure. Contrary to the Jia Baoyu here, it is an absolute 'real precious jade'..." There was laughter from the audience. Encouraged by the auctioneer, the auctioneer became more energetic: "People in the Shang Dynasty believed that the eagle was their ancestor, and they worshiped it very much. It is said in the book: 'The mysterious bird of destiny descended to give birth to Shang', which means that Shang is the descendant of the bird. This piece of jade, green Black as ink, warm from the tentacles, with the sound of gold and stone, moist with oil, perhaps, it is exactly the 'mysterious bird' mentioned in the book..."

The laughter grew louder. Some people began to hold up placards, starting at 300,000 yuan, and quickly raised them to 2.3 million yuan. The auctioneer's voice almost shifted, and he couldn't control the volume at all when calling out the new price. But no one thought he was gaffe.It has always been like this, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the voice of money is the loudest. It's not that there are no ordinary jades, they are all placed on the booth in the outer hall, such as Hetian jade from Xinjiang, Lantian jade from Shaanxi, Dushan jade from Henan, Xiuyan jade from Liaoning, and new jade ornaments from Myanmar, Laokeng and other real estates. There are all of them, the price ranges from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and the carving and texture are also excellent, but the value of course cannot be compared with ancient jade.

Anyone who plays with jade knows that the number of ancient jade handed down in the world will only decrease, and the older the jade, the rarer it will be. Although it may feel expensive to buy now, as long as the vision is accurate and it can withstand it, in the future Will definitely add value.This is the main reason why a large number of Tibetan jade people go forward without fear of price.To put it bluntly, it is still a word of money. Sitting next to me, Li Peiliang was very excited and couldn't stop saying, "Boss Tang must be very happy to hear the news. This auction is worth it even just to sell this eagle. Tang Shi, who do you think will win the most?" "

"Whoever has more money wins." I said nonsense. Li Peiliang smiled: "As expected of the eldest lady, money is like dung, and she doesn't care about gains or losses at all." I realized that my attitude was too indifferent, which inevitably gave people the feeling of winning the big card, so I hurried to remedy it: "It's all because you are in charge of the overall situation. What do you think? Who do you think will win?" "I said it was the person in the second row from the left. He is a left-handed person, and usually left-handed people are particularly stubborn in doing things."

"Really? Why didn't I notice?" "Look at the way he holds the sign, how abrupt! Everyone votes with the right hand, but he holds the sign with the left hand." left handed?I think of Song Ci again.Song Ci is also left-handed.If she was sitting here, she must be holding the sign with her left hand, as if the wrong size of a row of trees was planted one wrong... Hey, wait a minute!In the blink of an eye, I seemed to think of something, but I couldn't figure it out all at once.Lefty, what does lefty have to do with this case? "Tang Shi, where are you going?" Xiao Li's startled voice came from behind.

I didn't care about explaining, just left a sentence: "I'll go out and make a phone call." I hurried out of the venue. left handed!I see!For a long time, I have always overlooked a key point. I only thought that Song Ci suffers from Parkinson's disease and is unable to kill people, but I didn't expect that she is also left-handed! Call Su Jun. "Mr. Su, Song Ci is left-handed!" "Miss Tang, is that you?" Su Jun's voice was full of joy, and I knew Song Ci had awakened as soon as I heard it. "Tang Shi, I saw the newspaper and knew that today is your big day, I wish you success."

"Song Ci is left-handed! Left-handed!" I turned over and over, and only said this sentence. "Yes, I know Song Ci is left-handed, so what?" "The surname Qin was knocked unconscious with a wine bottle from the back of the head, and then strangled to death with stockings. But Song Ci is left-handed..." Su Jun immediately understood: "You mean, if Song Ci killed someone, he must have held the wine bottle in his left hand, then the wound must be on the left brain of the deceased; if the injury is on the right brain, it can be proved that Song Ci did not do it."

"Yes! Yes!" "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Let's go to the police station immediately." "No, you stick to Song Ci, I'll go." "No, it's better for me to go with a lawyer. You can come and see Song Ci." Song Ci was lying on the hospital bed, had already changed into casual clothes, and even put on a layer of makeup, completely different from the previous two days.Seeing me, he immediately said, "Tang Shi, thank you for these days." "It should." I held her hands, almost crying with bitterness. "Tang Shi, I am really happy to have such a good friend as you. Even Su looks at me with admiration and wants to rediscover my strengths."

I laughed: "He really cares about you. Compared with him, what I do is actually nothing." Song Ci still sighed: "A friend in need is a friend." "Actually, there are many people who care about you. Also, do you want to meet your parents?" "No, don't. Afraid of losing face." "Oh, isn't it because I'm afraid they will worry?" "They won't be worried. If my father showed up and gestured, he'd get me off the hook. But he'd be disgusted at the inconvenience I've caused him." I suddenly feel bad.It turns out that I have worked so hard and done nothing, and everything I have done is just a pretense.Song Ci had already had an idea in his heart, and bet that the case would come to light sooner or later, and her innocence would be returned.Even if he doesn't, he will use his trump card at the last moment to move his father out to save him.Whether I do it or not is actually insignificant and will not affect the overall situation.And I thought I would play Bao Qingtian as a cameo, saving her from dire straits.

"Tang Shi, thank you." Song Ci said again. I grinned, knowing that what she said was just out of affection. "Why did you suddenly pass out?" "Stuffy, angry, anxious, just fainted. Don't have to think about anything, how nice!" Song Ci sighed, "Inside, I thought about falling asleep forever." "Don't talk nonsense." "Really, it's the easiest thing not to be responsible for your life. Anyway, there are not many people who care about me." "Have you forgotten how you came into this world? Also, do you think Su Jun and I are transparent?" I am really angry, this Song Ci is really annoying sometimes. I don’t know how many hungry people in Ethiopia are struggling to die. Living on a piece of bread and a glass of water, she has everything she needs, but she is tired of the world. She is really impatient to live. "Listen, if you don't value life yourself, I won't advise you to respect yourself. No one can be responsible for other people's life except your own." I was almost stern when I said this. Song Ci was surprised: "Tang Shi, you have a bad attitude." "Too many people act based on your face, and complain about being decadent when you get a little setback. Why should people respect you? No wonder a man as good as Su Jun will leave you. In fact, you are not worthy of the best reward from heaven." "Hey, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the inside story, okay?" Song Ci became upset and protested loudly, "Do you know that he was the one who filed for divorce at the beginning!" "Then have you ever thought about why he wants to divorce? It's not because of your stinky temper that no one in the world is the only one who respects me! Others should do everything for you, and a little negligence is a heinous crime. Only you have the greatest contribution in the world , only your experience is the most pitiful, only your mood is the most important, why? Have you ever thought about others? How much care have you given to others? Even if you don’t trust your own parents, who else would you trust?” The more I scolded, the more vigorous I was. I had accumulated too much grievance in the past two days and there was nowhere to vent it. Anyway, Song Ci had recovered, and it happened that I was discouraged by cursing a few words. Song Ci was dizzy from my scolding, his eyes widened and he didn't know how to respond, his face was full of grievances and surprises. I was too self-conscious and didn't know how to turn around when my phone rang. It was Li Peiliang who reported the auction results to me and asked me: "Where did you go? I was in a hurry to report the good news to you, and I expected you to treat everyone to dinner." .” I apologized: "Congratulate everyone for me, take the debt from the company, tell everyone, I will invite you again another day, and also, this month's bonus will be doubled." Xiao Li whistled. I went on to say: "Xiao Li, I also have good news to tell you that Song Ci is probably fine." Xiao Li was stunned: "Are you at Song Ci?" Then he sighed, "Tang Shi, I didn't expect you to really value other people's affairs more than yourself." Instead, I was surprised: "This is not an ordinary matter. It is about a person's innocence. Of course it is more important than the auction." "Tang Shi, compared with you, I feel ashamed." This kind of flattery really made me unbearable, so I quickly patted my flattery back: "Xiao Li, if it weren't for your great help, I wouldn't have the time to take care of other things. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you." I'm telling the truth. After all, material things are the basis of life. For a person who can earn tens of millions at an auction, talking about spiritual value is actually meaningless, because material things are too rich , there are reasons and even the responsibility to put morality first.But if I am in a high position and ask every friend to do the same, then I will lose them, just like Song Ci back then, and eventually lose everyone around me. Song Ci heard every word I said, and said in surprise: "Tang Shi, I didn't know today was an auction...I'm so sorry." She seemed quite shocked, "I didn't expect that you would really leave the entire auction behind." , come and see me." "Maybe, it's because I'm a prodigal." I laughed at myself. "No, I can see that you don't care about money, not because you don't lack it, but because you pay more attention to the pursuit of emotion and spiritual realm." I looked at her, and at this moment there was the most complete understanding between us. The warmth of friendship returned to us.I asked her: "After being discharged from the hospital, have you thought about starting over with Su Jun?" Song Ci lowered his head: "I don't know." "During these days, he cared about you very much and ran around for you." "I can see that he is a lot haggard. But... the two of us are not as simple as a man and a woman." "I do not understand." "Our relationship is the daughter of so-and-so and the son of so-and-so." Song Ci sighed deeply. "I won't always be as pitiful as I am today." This time I understood what she meant.This is exactly what I'm worried about. I'm worried that Su Jun's short-term love for her is just out of sympathy. Once she regains her status as an official lady, he will be bound by the self-esteem of a big man again. A naughty cold-faced niche. Song Ci said quietly: "People have always misunderstood that I divorced because I refused to accommodate. In fact, it's not that I couldn't bear him, but he couldn't bear me. Thinking about it, the three months of marriage were not real at all. We fell in love at first sight, but on the wedding day I found myself making a wrong choice. All the relatives and friends who came to congratulate him congratulated him on his young entrance examination and his marriage to the daughter of an official family.He felt that his self-esteem was hurt, and he was depressed all night, venting his anger on me, and his attitude was very cold.I was even angrier, mocking his lack of self-confidence and not being a man.We argued for three months and ended up breaking up. " I think of Wu Yingxiong.He and Kechun also broke up on their wedding night.Could it be that this is really destined? "So you don't like being a lady official." "Who would like it?" Song Ci's face suddenly showed deep loneliness, "I have been studying hard since I was a child, and I got full marks in all my homework, but I still can't let people praise me without mentioning my father, teacher When people introduce me, they always say, 'Oh, this is the clever Song Ci, and her father is so-and-so. I understand that it has nothing to do with whose daughter I am that I came first in the exam." "Yes, the son of a multi-millionaire is often lazy." I agreed, "Actually, you are already very good at being yourself." "But so what about excellence? After graduating from university, I always wanted to perform with my own ability. But no, the whole of Beijing is a network of relationships. There is no backstage. It is difficult to find a job that suits my heart. I applied everywhere. It was a bloody encounter, and all possible units would ask me when they saw me, how is your social relationship, and how confident are you in winning customers for the company? Since we have to ask about the relationship anyway, it is better to simply do it. My dad will come forward and arrange for me to work as the production manager of Wang Dynasty.I hate this kind of joint relationship, but I also like this job. I hesitated and delayed it for so many years. I have been living under the umbrella of my father. It is a kind of shelter and a kind of shadow.This time when I had an accident, I didn't want to inform my dad, because my dad had done too much for me, and I didn't want to hear his tone of 'Look, you can't do anything without me' again. " Only then did I realize that she was going around for a long time because I scolded her for refusing to understand her parents' thoughts, and she was explaining to me in circles.This made me feel uneasy: "I just had a bad attitude, so don't take it to heart." "No, you said it very well. No one has scolded me like that before when I grow up so big." Song Ci smiled, "The way you looked just now is really fierce." I immediately said, "It was my fault, and I apologize to you." "Come on. The two of us are always like this. Hello, thank you, sorry, what's the matter? Treat each other like guests?" I was slightly startled, "respect each other as guests", this refers specifically to the situation between husband and wife, although she just casually joked, it may not be without mystery. Song Ci suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I forgot to tell you a strange thing after talking for a long time: this morning, a strange guest came to see me." "Strange guest? Is it an alien or Quasimodo the Bell Ringer?" My heart was beating, could it be Wu Yingxiong?He also has the ability to come to his ex-wife to talk about the past in broad daylight? Song Ci said: "Where is Quasimodo, that man is so handsome and polite. He said he is your friend. He came here to see if I need his help. Hey, why have I never heard you say that?" Have such a beautiful friend?" It turned out to be him, Zhang Chu!Although he can no longer contact me directly, he still pays attention to me and my friends.But it's not just my friend, is it?He is also the reincarnation of Wu Yingxiong, and he is the masculine half. It can also be said that he is the half husband of Song Ci. I suddenly feel jealous.
