Xia Ruofei took the elevator directly to the third floor. Tonight, the Grasso family's truffle auction would be held in the grand banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel.
When the elevator reached the third floor, Xia Ruofei walked toward the grand banquet hall.
Along the way, the decorations were splendid. Precious works of art could be seen inadvertently. The crystal lamps everywhere were all custom-made in the Czech Republic. Only this Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel had them in the world.
Xia Ruofei had stayed for more than a day and had a considerable immunity to the ubiquitous luxury. He walked all the way without stopping.
Xia Ruofei stepped on the corridor paved with jade and colored glass. After turning a corner, he saw a huge foyer.
The auction hadn't started yet. The well-dressed guests stood in twos and threes in the foyer and talked.
"Brother Ruofei!"
Xia Ruofei heard a clear child's voice. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huanhuan waving at him with a happy face.
Huanhuan was wearing a custom-made cheongsam with a blue and white porcelain pattern printed on it. Tian Huixin, who was beside her, was also wearing a cheongsam of the same style. It was obvious that they were mother and daughter. When the two of them stood together, there was a strong Huaxia style.
Lu You was also with Tian Huixin and her daughter. Tonight, she was wearing a black off-the-shoulder evening dress. Her beautiful collarbone was faintly discernible. On her white jade-like chest, there was a pure emerald that emitted a charming halo.
Her tall black bun complemented her long and beautiful swan-like neck. Her slender waist was tightly wrapped by the form-fitting dress, outlining her seductive curves.
Xia Ruofei saw Lu You in formal clothes for the first time. This kind of noble temperament with a hint of cold elegance made him take a deep breath and couldn't help but look twice.
Lu You also felt Xia Ruofei's gaze and turned to look at him. Xia Ruofei quickly looked away and subconsciously reached out to tidy up his clothes to hide his embarrassment.
Xia Ruofei's actions also fell into Lu You's eyes. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a beautiful arc.
Xia Ruofei took a deep breath. After adjusting his emotions, he walked towards Huanhuan with a smile on his face.
"Huanhuan is so beautiful today!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Ruofei!" Huanhuan said happily. Then she asked, "Big Brother Ruofei, do you think Sister Youyou is prettier or Huanhuan? Just now, a few uncles came over to talk to Sister Youyou and praised her for her beauty! "
"Uh …" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be stunned.
Tian Huixin giggled and watched the show from the side. Lu You also revealed a faint smile and glanced at Xia Ruofei.
"Both of you are beautiful!" Xia Ruofei had no choice but to give a neutral answer.
He thought for a moment and added, "Sister Youyou is a great beauty. Huanhuan is a little beauty. When Huanhuan grows up, she will become a great beauty!"
Lu You's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly. She spat in a low voice. Huanhuan asked very happily, "Really?"
"Of course it's true! When has Brother Ruofei ever lied to you? "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"En!" Huanhuan nodded heavily.
"Xia Sheng!"
Not far away, Ma Xiong waved at Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei greeted Tian Huixin and Lu You and walked towards Ma Xiong.
Ma Xiong even personally walked up a few steps and introduced Xia Ruofei to his business friends.
Those who could stand together with Ma Xiong and exchange greetings naturally weren't ordinary people. Anyone here was worth hundreds of millions.
Since Ma Xiong valued Xia Ruofei so much, these people certainly wouldn't neglect him. They all smiled and greeted Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei didn't have stage fright and responded to them one by one.
These people were a little curious about Xia Ruofei because with Ma Xiong's status, it was quite rare to see such a young person valued so much.
However, Ma Xiong only introduced Xia Ruofei as a friend of his in the mainland and didn't elaborate. It wasn't convenient for them to ask more.
After greeting in the hall for a while, it was almost time to enter.
Everyone walked into the largest banquet hall of the Jiahua Hotel.
The banquet hall was about 700 square meters in area and used a columnless design. From any position in the hall, the main stage could be seen at a glance.
The banquet hall was eight meters high and had a 180-degree view of the Bund river. The front was equipped with an 82-square-meter large high-definition LED screen and a high-end B&Q sound system. The giant crystal lamp on the ceiling was also a custom-made one from the Czech Republic.
Ma Xiong, as the owner of Hengfeng Jiahua and one of the biggest buyers of truffle auctions, naturally had the best position.
The five seats in the middle of the front row were reserved for Ma Xiong and his group.
Xia Ruofei followed Ma Xiong and everyone sat down together.
Ma Xiong sat in the middle. Ma Zhiming and Xia Ruofei sat on either side of him. Tian Huixin sat next to Ma Zhiming with Huanhuan in her arms, and Lu You naturally sat next to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei could feel a faint fragrance in his nose. He felt a little stiff and couldn't help but look straight ahead.
Xia Ruofei, who could talk and laugh with Ma Xiong and other billionaires, really felt a little restrained at this moment.
Fortunately, the large LED screen in front of them began to play the promotional video for the truffle auction. It showed a truffle hunter leading a truffle dog through an oak forest in the morning dew. Pieces of truffles were dug up from the ground. Then, the picture flashed, and the truffles appeared on the dining table, along with the intoxicated faces of the guests …
Xia Ruofei gradually relaxed and focused on the promotional video.
After a very well filmed promotional video, the host in a formal suit came to the stage.
"Welcome to the Grasso family's truffle auction! I am the host, Johnson! "
The host also spoke in English, but everyone had a simultaneous interpretation headset on their seats. They could choose different languages through the multi-function buttons on the armrest of their seats.
Xia Ruofei didn't use headphones. He found that Lu You didn't wear headphones either. Her English listening and speaking ability wasn't weak either.
After a brief self-introduction, the host said in a very infectious voice, "Next, let's welcome the third heir of the Grasso family, Ms. Monica Grasso, the senior vice president of the Grasso Group, to give a speech on stage!"
In the midst of everyone's applause, the spotlight shone on the entrance of the stage, and a graceful figure appeared. She was wearing a sapphire blue evening gown inlaid with crystals, and her pair of white, slender feet were set off by a pair of black string high heels, looking as gentle as jade.
Monica Grasso walked gracefully to the stage. The evening dress emitted a bright glow under the spotlight. Every step she took had a kind of swaying beauty. Her white and charming legs seemed to be blooming with silent temptation.
When he saw the heir of the Grasso family, Xia Ruofei opened his mouth in surprise and almost stood up from his seat.
It's actually her …
