Xia Ruofei said embarrassedly, "I couldn't ask for more, but I have something to do today. I hope I can have the honor tomorrow!"
Xia Ruofei did have something to do. The auction was going to start in the evening. He asked Ma Xiong to come to the hotel in the afternoon, saying that he had something to discuss with him. In fact, he wanted to talk to Ma Xiong about his truffles.
Before that, Xia Ruofei still had some preparations to do.
Monica looked at Xia Ruofei and asked with a smile, "Not an excuse?"
"Of course not!" Xia Ruofei said, "Give me your phone number! I'll look for you tomorrow! "
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei added with a smile, "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to ask for your phone number!"
Monica giggled. She generously took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Xia Ruofei, saying, "This is the phone number I use in Huaxia. I'll still be in Shen Cheng until the day after tomorrow. I'll wait for your call!"
Xia Ruofei took the business card, made an OK gesture, and said, "I'm also looking forward to having dinner with you!"
The two walked out of the gym together and said goodbye to each other at the door.
Monica looked at Xia Ruofei's back as he walked to the presidential suite's private elevator. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light. She was more and more interested in this mysterious oriental young man.
Xia Ruofei returned to the presidential suite and took a bath in the large jacuzzi tub. After changing his clothes, Xia Ruofei left the hotel alone.
He didn't use the hotel's Rolls-Royce Phantom because he needed to avoid being noticed when he went out.
Xia Ruofei strolled around Shen Cheng for an hour. When he returned to the hotel, he was already carrying two plastic packing boxes in his hands. He found a place where no one was around and took them out of the Ring-Tu space. Inside were the truffles that were going to be auctioned tonight.
The reason why Xia Ruofei went through so much trouble was naturally out of caution.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the hotel. If Xia Ruofei had directly taken out the truffle in the presidential suite, Ma Xiong would have easily discovered that Xia Ruofei's truffle had appeared out of thin air.
Although the possibility of this was extremely low, Xia Ruofei did not dare to be careless when it came to his greatest secret, the Spiritual Map Scroll.
If he went out for a walk and brought it back, everything would make sense.
Back in the presidential suite, Xia Ruofei put the two boxes in the large refrigerator in the suite to keep the truffles as fresh as possible.
Around 4 pm, Ma Xiong came to Xia Ruofei's room.
Ma Zhiming was with him. As for Tian Huixin, Huanhuan, and Lu You, they did not appear.
"Xia Sheng, have you gotten used to living here these past two days?" Ma Xiong asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly. "Mr. Ma, to tell you the truth, I'm really not used to it … Your presidential suite is too luxurious. I feel uncomfortable all over!"
"Hahaha!" Ma Xiong laughed and said, "Xia Sheng, you really know how to joke! This is a hotel under our Hengfeng Group. You can come here like you're at home. What's there to be uncomfortable about? "
Everyone came to the living room of the presidential suite and sat down. After the private butler made tea for the three of them, he politely bowed and left.
Ma Xiong asked with a smile, "Xia Sheng, why did you ask me to come here?"
"Mr. Ma, I wanted to ask you about tonight's truffle auction … Can the organizer accept additional truffle items?" Xia Ruofei said straightforwardly, "I have a friend who just provided me with a batch of truffles of very good quality. I hope this batch of truffles can also be auctioned."
Ma Xiong was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then he pondered for a moment and said, "Xia Sheng, this tasting auction is hosted by the Grasso family in Italy. All the truffles in the auction are Alba White Truffles produced by this family. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to persuade them to accept other truffles in the auction …"
"So that's the case!" Xia Ruofei was slightly disappointed.
However, it was not Ma Xiong's fault. Xia Ruofei did not inquire about the situation in advance. He always thought that the auction was hosted by a third party. He did not expect the organizer to be the owner of the items.
Peers were enemies. Naturally, there was no reason for the organizer to accept other truffles in their auction.
Ma Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Xia Sheng, we also have many restaurants and hotels under Hengfeng. Your friend's truffles can be sold directly to our restaurants. There is no need to go through the trouble of an auction."
In fact, Ma Xiong also misunderstood. He preconceived that the truffles provided by Xia Ruofei's friend were produced in Huaxia's Diannan Province and other places. In fact, Huaxia's truffles were not well-known internationally. The price was even more than ten times lower than the authentic Italian truffles.
The auction was for high-end customers. They all pursued the highest quality. If such truffles were auctioned, no one would be interested.
Ma Xiong proposed that Hengfeng's restaurants could buy these truffles. Naturally, it was entirely for Xia Ruofei's face.
Xia Ruofei said with a slight smile, "Mr. Ma, I thank you for your kindness on behalf of my friend. However, the quality of his truffles is very good. He also hopes to maximize the value through the auction."
"Oh? I wonder where these truffles are now? Can I take a look first? "Ma Xiong also had a trace of interest and asked.
Truffles can't be kept fresh for a long time, so Ma Xiong knew that since Xia Ruofei's friend hoped to auction these truffles tonight, they must be in Shen Cheng City now.
"Of course, I went to get the truffles this afternoon." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
After that, he stood up and walked to the preparation room. He opened the refrigerator and took out the two packing boxes. He carried them back to the living room.
"Mr. Ma, my friend's truffles are all here." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "One box is black truffles, and the other box is white truffles."
Xia Ruofei reached out and tore the sealing tape on the packing box and opened the lid.
Suddenly, the unique fragrance of truffles gradually filled the presidential suite.
Ma Xiong himself was a glutton, especially for truffles. Therefore, when he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Ma Xiong reached into the packing box and quickly took out a piece of white truffle from the rice.
When Ma Xiong saw this piece of white truffle that was close to a catty, his eyes couldn't help but focus. The bigger the truffle, the higher the value, not to mention the pure fragrance of this truffle.
Ma Xiong carefully picked up the truffle and looked at it carefully. From time to time, he would move closer to smell the special fragrance of the truffle.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, the quality of this truffle is average. The largest piece in the box is close to four catties!"
