Baiyun Xuan Auction House was the largest auction house in Ninghai.
It was said that the owner of the auction house had a very powerful background, which was why he was able to overcome all obstacles in the fierce competition and obtain the right to auction the works of the Master of the Divine Burin.
Ding Ning had just entered Tianquan North Road, where Baiyun Xuan was located, and found that all the advertisements on the roadside were about the auction. Even the neon advertisements of the nearby hotels and Baiyun Xuan Building were the same. It could be seen how much importance Baiyun Xuan placed on this auction.
Perhaps only Ding Ning did not know how much of a sensation his jade carvings had caused in the world of antiques and jade carvings. The two top jade carving masters in Ninghai had praised them endlessly after appraising them and admitted that they were inferior.
With the praise of the two top masters in the industry and Tianfu Company's unstinting publicity, the news quickly spread. First, the chairman of Ninghai Antiques Association came with appraisers to appraise them. Then, the chairman of Yan Jing Antiques Association came in person. Then, the jade carving masters in the country swarmed over. Even jade carving masters from abroad came after hearing the news and gave the highest evaluation.
Tianfu Company seized the opportunity and worked with Baiyun Xuan Auction House to publicize the auction. Rich people and collectors from home and abroad came from far away, which resulted in this grand auction.
For the Ninghai government, this auction was also an opportunity to show the international charm of Ninghai. It also happened to be the National Day tourist season, so they attached great importance to this auction. A large number of police officers were deployed to maintain law and order. No mistakes were allowed. It was under such circumstances that Xiao Nuo became the chief commander in charge of the auction's security.
Although there were still two days before the official auction date, after discussion between the organizer Baiyun Xuan and Tianfu Company, they held a small auction for the rich people and jade carving masters who came early to see the auction.
Today, Xiao Nuo wore a half-sleeved white shirt, a short-sleeved black suit jacket, and black trousers. She had sandy hair and wore a headset. She was completely dressed like an auction house worker. Standing at the entrance of the auction house, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
The policewoman, who was usually serious in speech and manner and exuded an indifferent aura that kept strangers away from her, actually showed a happy and shy expression after making a phone call. This made the jaws of the police team drop to the ground. They were all secretly guessing who the phone call was that could actually melt this eternal iceberg?
"Hello, beautiful lady. I am Pals from France. May I invite you to dinner?"
At this time, a tall and handsome blond white youth came over surrounded by a group of people. After seeing Xiao Nuo, his beautiful blue eyes flashed with amazing light, and he said politely in fluent Shenzhou language.
"Sorry, I don't know you!"
The smile on Xiao Nuo's face instantly disappeared. She recovered her usual cold face and said with a frown.
"Oh, ma 'am, I just want to invite you to dinner. I mean no harm. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I think I fell in love with you at first sight. I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you."
Pals still did not give up. He expressed his love with deep affection. In the eyes of outsiders, this seemed very strange, but for someone like him who was born in France, the capital of romance, this was very normal.
Xiao Nuo frowned and said impatiently, "Please move aside. I have an appointment with a friend."
"You can ask your friend to change the time. I think we will have a romantic night."
Pals stuck closely to Xiao Nuo like a plaster.
"I'm not interested in you. Please move aside."
Xiao Nuo had never seen such a persistent person. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke coldly.
"Beautiful lady, don't get worked up. I really mean no harm. I just want to pursue you."
Pals raised his hands with an innocent expression, but he blocked Xiao Nuo's path.
"Get out of my way!"
Xiao Nuo's temper had never been good. If it were not for the fact that she was in charge of security for the auction, she would have kicked him out a long time ago.
"Beautiful lady, you are too rude. Tell me, how much do you need? One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand for you to be willing to spend dinner with me?"
Pals saw that Xiao Nuo was not at all interested in him and his expression immediately darkened. He intentionally shook the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist and spoke in an overbearing manner.
"Little girl, do you know who Mr. Pals is? He is the president of the Asian branch of Oslan Corporation. It is your good fortune that he is interested in you. Don't pretend to be so noble. "
A fat, middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle from the Divine Kingdom flattered Pals with his head held high.
A cold light flashed through Xiao Nuo's eyes and she glanced coldly at the fat man. Compared to foreigners like Pals who were filled with a sense of superiority, she hated this kind of Divine Kingdom people who worshipped foreign things and bowed to them even more. "If he is interested in your mother, it is your good fortune."
"What the hell are you saying? Do you want to die? Do you know who I am? "
The fat man's face flushed red. He extended a short, thick carrot-like finger and pointed angrily at Xiao Nuo.
"Alright, Mr. Li, this is the girl I am interested in. Don't interrupt."
Pals unhappily interrupted Mr. Li's anger. The speed at which Mr. Li's expression changed was miraculous. He immediately squeezed out a smile and nodded and bowed. "Yes, Mr. Pals, I was too excited. You are right."
"Lady, name your price. How much do you need to spend the night with me? Is one million enough? "
Pals was very satisfied with Mr. Li's attitude. He looked arrogantly at Xiao Nuo. From an invitation to have dinner together to spending the night together.
Xiao Nuo clenched her fists. Her good mood was almost completely worn away. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Don't bother me anymore, get out of the way."
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she has a price. Mr. Pals has plenty of money, just name your price."
"There is no woman in the Divine Kingdom that can't be done with as long as you have money. It just depends on whether the price is right or not."
"This woman is just pretending to be reserved. As long as Mr. Pals names the right price, what woman wouldn't throw herself into his arms?"
"It's just an old trick of playing hard to get. Beauty, name your price. Who told Mr. Pals to take a fancy to you? Remember, don't be too greedy, otherwise you'll lose everything."
"Beauty, you are very beautiful, but you'd better name your price. Otherwise, if you make Mr. Pals unhappy, you won't be able to survive in Ninghai."
"The owner of your auction house and Mr. Pals are old friends. If you make Mr. Pals unhappy, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your job."
…
The group of Divine Kingdom merchants crowded around Pals mercilessly trampled on the dignity of their country. They fawned over Pals and threatened Xiao Nuo into submission.
Their disgusting faces made Xiao Nuo want to vomit. Her eyes coldly swept over these ugly faces, and the anger in her heart gradually rose.
If it were not for the fact that she still had to be in charge of security and that the city leaders had repeatedly warned that nothing could go wrong during the auction to avoid affecting Ninghai's international image, she would have smashed these people's mouths.
Pals looked proudly at Xiao Nuo and gave a frivolous whistle. "Beautiful lady, everyone has a price. Name your price."
"One billion!"
A light male voice rang out. Pals' expression darkened. He turned to look at Ding Ning, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed and a look of amusement on his face. "Who are you?"
Xiao Nuo's expression brightened but seeing Ding Ning wink at her, she immediately pressed her lips together and maintained her silence.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I've taken a liking to this beauty. I'm offering one billion right now to invite her to dinner with me. Do you have any objections?"
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and said provocatively, "Of course, this is an auction house. You can bid against me."
"Kid, don't brag. Can you take out one billion?"
"Tch, I think you're just a troublemaker."
"Kid, I advise you to be smarter. Don't offend someone you can't afford to offend."
"Motherf * cker, I'm dying of laughter. One billion? Looking at your clothes, have you ever seen one million?"
"Kid, get out of here. Don't f * cking make things difficult for yourself. Do you know who we are? Killing you is as easy as killing an ant. "
…
Before Pals could speak, a group of shameless dogs began to hoot. Each of them was arrogant and despotic.
A biting cold light flashed through Ding Ning's eyes. He swept a cold gaze over this group of people. That terrifying murderous intent made everyone's hearts go cold and they closed their mouths in fear.
"Beauty, this is a group of dogs that only know how to bark. They can't even take out one billion and dare to hoot that they have money. How laughable. Since no one is bidding, tonight you belong to me."
Ding Ning unceremoniously pushed Pals aside and went forward to wrap his arm around Xiao Nuo's slender waist.
Xiao Nuo rolled her eyes at him coquettishly but her hand twisted viciously around Ding Ning's waist. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Handsome, no problem. I will definitely accompany you tonight."
"Of course, I'm a man of my word. I'm not like some Frenchmen who dress like a dog but can't even take out one billion dollars. How dare they come here to pick up girls? They're so shameful that they've even brought shame to Shenzhou Country."
Ding Ning endured the pain and glanced disdainfully at Pals. "Pauper, piss off to the side. Don't interfere with my dinner with the beauty."
Pals' expression was dark. "Kid, what's the point of just talking? Can you take out one billion? "
Without waiting for Ding Ning to speak, he smiled coldly at Xiao Nuo. "Lady, open your eyes. He's a liar."
"Even if I'm a liar, I'm still better than a pauper like you."
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and said with a smug expression, "It's fine as long as the beauty believes me. What does it matter if paupers like you believe me or not? Do you believe me, beauty? "
"Yes, I believe you!" Xiao Nuo said cooperatively.
"Hmph, kid, don't pretend anymore. Look at your shabby appearance. Do you dare to make a bet with me? If you can take out one billion, I will immediately kneel and kowtow to you in apology. If you can't, then kneel and apologize to me. This beauty belongs to me tonight."
Pals' face was red with anger and a cold light shone from his eyes. He was just the director of the Asian region of the company and his annual salary was only around two million. For a beauty of Xiao Nuo's level to spend a night, he was still willing to pay four or five hundred thousand. Any more was impossible, much less one billion.
"Hmph, this kid is just a pauper pretending. If he can take out five hundred million, let alone one billion, I will kneel and kowtow to him."
"Kid, you'll be struck by lightning if you're pretending. Don't you think you're bragging a bit too much? If you can take out two hundred million, I will kneel and kowtow to you in apology. "
"Look at him. If he can take out one hundred million, I will kneel and call him father."
"Haha, one hundred million is already flattering him. I bet he doesn't even have fifty million."
"Fifty million? If he can take out twenty million, I will kneel and admit defeat."
"You really think too highly of him. Nothing on him is worth more than two hundred yuan. If he has ten million, I will kneel and kowtow to him in apology."
…
The group of lackeys mocked and ridiculed Ding Ning to their heart's content. Pals was very satisfied with their attack and glanced at Xiao Nuo with satisfaction.
