Li Ruixin was very happy, but he said seriously, "Okay, it's fine if you don't want to go. I'll let Yao Xuefei know."
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly became excited. He wanted to grow wings and rush to the auction, but he also understood that it was still early and the auction hadn't started yet. He couldn't see anything even if he went. He secretly laughed at himself. After all, he was the son-in-law of the governor. Why did he still look like he hadn't seen the world? What was so great about the auction? How many times had he seen it on TV and movies? Did he have to experience the atmosphere in person to be satisfied?
He calmed himself down and called Yao Xuefei. After the call was connected, he said, "My wife has something to do and won't be going to the auction, so you don't have to wait for her call. But your husband, I'm going." Yao Xuefei said, "It's fine if you come. I'll give you the admission ticket. Where are you now?" Li Rui said, "Jingnan, what about you?" Yao Xuefei said in surprise, "Aiya, when did you come? How come you're so fast? I just arrived too. But I have to tell you first that even if you come tonight, I won't have time to entertain you. I'll be very busy tonight. "Li Rui said," It's fine. You do what you need to do. Don't worry about me … "
The two chatted for a while. Li Rui learned the details of the auction from Yao Xuefei: The auction would be held at 7: 18 pm tonight in the multi-purpose hall on the third floor of the Sheraton Hotel. The starting time was chosen by an expert and it was very auspicious. There would be a total of more than 20 auction items, mainly antiques and artworks. The estimated ending time was 11 pm, and if it exceeded the time, it would be extended. The auction would be hosted by Yao Xuefei, but another licensed auctioneer was invited. In theory, Yao Xuefei didn't have the qualifications to host the auction. Her role as the host was more like an emcee.
If Li Rui wanted to enter the auction as a bidder, he had to go there in advance, register with the organizer, pay a deposit, and get a number plate. But if he just wanted to join in the fun as a spectator, he could go there at any time with the admission ticket.
In addition, the organizers had arranged for Tang Su, a special guest, to appear at any time between 8: 00 pm and 9: 00 pm, depending on her time. The reason why they chose this time instead of letting her appear before the start or end of the auction was naturally to use her celebrity status to control the atmosphere and rhythm of the auction site. They would always keep the hearts of the bidders in suspense so that they would not feel bored and bored.
If Li wanted to meet Tang Su in private, he could choose before 8 pm or after 9 pm. Of course, if Tang Su was willing to stay with him, it wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to stay together for these two periods of time. But both of them were aloof people, so the probability of such a thing happening wasn't too high.
Li Rui's initial plan was to invite Tang Su to Baihua Palace for a meal after she flew to Jingnan. After the meal, he would accompany her to the auction site. When she was done, he would say goodbye to her and then find a place to sleep. Before he went out in the morning, he secretly took the key to the house in Jingnan that Gao Zixuan gave him. So he didn't have to worry about not having a place to stay at night.
At 4: 05 pm, Tang Su called him and told him that she had landed and was preparing to go to the city. She asked him where to meet. Li Rui didn't even think and blurted out, "Baihua Palace!" Tang Su obviously knew about Baihua Palace. She shouted, "Oh, you're really generous. You invited me to dinner at the best restaurant in the provincial capital." Li Rui smiled and said, "You're also very generous. You came all the way here to help me." Tang Su said, "I don't want to eat in a big restaurant. Can you find some special snacks here for me to try?"
Li Rui was immediately speechless. He had kindly asked someone to use his connections to reserve a seat at the Hundred Flowers Palace. He wanted to properly entertain her, but this big sister didn't buy it. She even said that she wanted to eat some special snacks. F * ck, she didn't want to eat at the best restaurant in the provincial capital. Instead, she went to eat some unpresentable snacks. Are you playing me? But he understood her thoughts. She was a big star and ate all kinds of delicacies all day long. She was already tired of eating. Instead, she was more interested in those unique local snacks. Besides, girls also liked to eat street food. Didn't you see a beauty like Zixuan sitting on the side of the road and eating spicy hotpot? He smiled bitterly and said, "Beauty, let's eat the special snacks another day, okay? Let's go to Baihua Palace today. I asked someone to arrange a table for me. It's not appropriate not to go."
Tang Su was also easy-going. She said, "Okay then, let's go to Baihua Palace. After the event, you can take me to eat some special snacks. Don't change it another day …"
The two agreed to meet at the entrance of Baihua Palace. After hanging up, they rushed over.
On the way, Li Rui called Sun Shuqin and asked her which table she had booked. Sun Shuqin hung up without saying anything after hearing that.
This time, Li Rui was anxious. He had already agreed to have dinner at Baihua Palace with Tang Su. If Sun Shuqin didn't tell him about the table she had booked, he and Tang Su would be refused the door. He made such a big mistake in front of a friend he wasn't very close with. Not to mention how his friend would look at him, he would hate himself to death. Just as he was about to call Sun Shuqin again and beg her not to be angry with him, at least not now and tell him about the table, he heard his phone ring. He received a text message.
The text message was from Sun Shuqin. It said, "Baihua Palace. Tell him that Mr. Li booked the table when you enter."
When Li Rui saw this text message, he was overjoyed. His hanging heart finally relaxed, but he was also puzzled. Why didn't Sun Shuqin say it over the phone? Why did she have to send a text message? Could it be that it wasn't convenient to say it in front of Song Chaoyang? But this question had nothing to do with personal feelings. She could have just said it. Oh, right. Maybe she was still angry and didn't want to talk to him, so she sent a text message to tell him. When he thought about how she could be angry for him, it meant that he was in her heart. She didn't completely use him as a tool to take revenge on his boss, he felt a little sweet. But no matter what, he couldn't maintain this personal relationship with her. He had to break it off!
When the car arrived at the entrance of Baihua Palace, Li Rui paid the fee and got out. When he looked up, he was immediately shocked by the huge signboard of Baihua Palace. Baihua Palace was six stories high and more than ten rooms wide. The entire building facing the road was covered with golden lacquer reliefs of flowers, dragons and phoenixes, auspicious clouds, and waves. In the middle of the building, there were three big words carved from top to bottom: Baihua Palace. The background of the three big words was a thin and tall red signboard. It shone brightly with the surrounding golden colors, giving people a feeling of royal style.
"What a beautiful signboard!"
Li Rui could only admire it. Although he hadn't set foot in the hotel yet, just by looking at the luxurious decoration and style, he knew the quality of the inside.
After waiting for twenty minutes, a black Mercedes-Benz E Series came and slowly stopped by the side of the road. Li Rui saw a young woman sitting in the front passenger seat. She looked very much like the female assistant beside Tang Su when he first met her. His heart skipped a beat. He guessed that Tang Su might have arrived, so he stepped forward to greet her.
Sure enough, after the young woman got out of the car, she opened the back door. A young woman with a slender figure, fashionable clothes, and extraordinary temperament came out. She had shoulder-length hair and wore sunglasses on her snow-white face. Only her beautiful eyebrows and sharp chin were exposed. It was Tang Su's standard attire in public. When she saw Li Rui walking over, the corners of her red lips were slightly pursed, revealing a good-looking dimple at the corner of her mouth.
Li Rui walked up to her and smiled. "You came quite quickly." Tang Su looked him up and down and frowned. "I don't think so … Why do you always wear this kind of business attire? Even my driver is more fashionable than you. " Li Rui couldn't help but laugh. "I'm a civil servant. Of course I can only wear business attire. Besides, I was working overtime in the morning." Tang Su pursed her lips and said, "Let's talk inside." After saying that, she swaggered like a proud white swan toward the entrance of Hundred Flowers Palace.
"Su Su …"
Tang Su didn't take a few steps before she was stopped by her assistant. Tang Su looked back at her and didn't say a word.
The female assistant said, "I'm not hungry yet. Besides, I still have some things to buy. I won't go with you. I'll see you when you come out."
Tang Su didn't think much of it. She grunted in agreement and continued to walk through the door. Li Rui followed behind her and asked casually, "Why didn't you drive your GMC caravan?" Tang Su said, "That car is in Shanghai. Why did you drive it here for me?" Li Rui laughed when he heard this and asked, "That's the Mercedes-Benz just now." Tang Su said, "That's the car provided by the auction organizer." Li Rui praised and said, "It's so good to be a celebrity. You have a car to pick you up wherever you go." Tang Su said, "Isn't it the same for you civil servants?" Li Rui laughed and said, "That's a treatment that only leaders can enjoy." Tang Su glanced at him and said, "Oh? You're not a leader yet? "Li Rui said," I'm just a small leader. I'm still far from being a big leader. "
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked into the restaurant. After Li Rui told the receptionist about the Orchid Palace, a waitress led the two of them to the elevator lobby. They took the elevator to the second floor and walked a few steps out of the elevator lobby to reach the Orchid Palace. There was no need to mention how magnificent it was.
Li Rui invited Tang Su to sit at the head of the table. Tang Su didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. It wasn't even five o 'clock yet, so it was still a little early for dinner. Li Rui ordered a pot of tea and said goodbye to Tang Su first.
After the tea was served and the waitress left, Tang Su took off her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful oval face. She looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "Why didn't you bring your girlfriend here?" Li Rui was immediately stunned and said, "My girlfriend?" Tang Su said, "The beauty you brought to buy shoes last time." Li Rui then understood that she was talking about Ding Yijing. He said, "We're friends. Why would I bring her here?" Tang Su smiled with a strange expression and picked up the teacup to drink.
