Chapter 101 He Liangcong's Depression
Thinking of today's auction items, Zou Muwan's heart beat violently.
When Zou Muwan saw the introduction before, she could not hide her excitement: the high value of this auction item is already the peak of her previous auctions.
If the operation is done properly, the atmosphere is right, and the wealthy people in the audience are willing to spend, it is very likely that a sky-high price will be achieved this time.
That would be another boost to my status as an auctioneer...
When she looked at He Liangcong who kept whispering to Xiao Yingchun, Zou Muwan's heart was full of understanding: If it were her, she would definitely have a good relationship with Xiao Yingchun!
After all, as the owners of the collections, they can also recommend which auctioneer they are familiar with within a certain scope of authority.
Especially owners of heavyweight collections.
Soon, the auction began.
The first item released was the pair of rosewood screens with mother-of-pearl inlay.
With Zou Muwan's skillful control of the rhythm, the rosewood inlaid marble screen with a starting price of 150,000 soon rose to 500,000, and finally fell to 600,000.
Xiao Yingchun was very happy because the product was sold at a good price right at the start.
She got up and walked out.
He Liangcong also hurriedly followed: "Sister, can I treat you to a meal?"
Xiao Yingchun didn't want to eat and just wanted to go home quickly.
But He Liangcong was really good at talking, he kept muttering to himself.
"Sister, I have an idea. I want to open an auction company, but you know, I only played around before and I don't know anything about these things..."
Xiao Yingchun couldn't stand it any longer: "I don't understand these things either. Why don't you talk to Miss Zou Muwan? She knows all these things."
He Liangcong grinned and said bluntly: "But she has nothing in her hand, and you have something in your hand! Do you think this will work?"
"Let's open an auction company together, and then you can sell your stuff in our auction company?"
"I'll only charge you a small commission for the things I sell, 1%, is that okay?"
Xiao Yingchun paused: This idea... is very good!
Seeing Xiao Yingchun's expression change, He Liangcong raised his chin proudly and said, "You don't have to worry about me having bad intentions towards you."
"Let me tell you, I have a principle, which is not to force women."
"Although I like pretty girls, if a girl is even slightly unhappy, I will never force her."
"Brother, it's all about mutual consent."
"That's not my style..."
Xiao Yingchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: He was telling herself that he would never cling to her like Dai Hengxin and wouldn't complicate the relationship, right?
That's not bad.
"Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal? Let's go and have dinner." Xiao Yingchun pointed to the street.
He Liangcong was stunned for a moment, then he grinned: "Okay! Come with me, I promise you will have good food and drink."
He Liangcong led Xiao Yingchun forward, and Wang Yongjun followed silently behind him, looking around and observing without saying a word.
Led by He Liangcong, the group of three turned left and right, entered a not-so-big alley, and walked into a Western restaurant.
He Liangcong mumbled something to the other party, who quickly nodded and went inside to cook.
Xiao Yingchun was very curious: "What did you order?"
When talking about this, He Liangcong shook his head proudly.
"Brother, I ordered some of the most delicious steaks and other dishes they make here... You will know when you try them. They are definitely the best in London!"
As Xiao Yingchun and He Liangcong sat down, Wang Yongjun sat at the table next to them.
Xiao Yingchun was stunned for a moment: "Brother Jun, why are you sitting over there? Come over and sit with us?"
He Liangcong also looked at Wang Yongjun in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly did this. Wang Yongjun smiled and nodded: "I am responsible for Miss Xiao's safety, so it is enough for her to sit at this table."
He took the initiative to draw a line between himself and He Shao and reveal his identity.
He Liangcong understood immediately, but was also shocked: Wang Yongjun was accompanying Xiao Yingchun here as a bodyguard? !
Only as a bodyguard would one not sit at the same table with the employer in certain situations.
This realization made He Liangcong's heart beat faster for a moment.
Wang Yongjun came to London as Xiao Yingchun's bodyguard, which means that it was not what he had initially thought.
Then... maybe I have a chance?
But just as he felt excited, He Liangcong became depressed again: He had just boasted that he had a strong sense of boundaries and would never pester her...
How to chase a girl without pestering her? !
He really wanted to slap himself: Why is my mouth so quick?
Fortunately, at this moment, they are in the UK where they are unfamiliar with the place and Xiao Yingchun doesn't know many people, so there will be a chance for them to communicate more.
As time goes by, love grows. As you spend more time together, opportunities will naturally arise.
When He Liangcong thought of this, he immediately became lively again and started talking about the fun and delicious places in London.
Xiao Yingchun just listened without refutation.
Soon the food was delivered, and I have to say, the steaks and burgers in this restaurant tasted really good. Even the foie gras in the burgers was very special.
Xiao Yingchun could only eat half a hamburger and half a steak.
She asked the boss to cut them in half and sent them to Wang Yongjun, explaining: "I can't eat that much. Can you help me eat these?"
Wang Yongjun and He Liangcong were both stunned.
Wang Yongjun: She didn’t treat me as an outsider!
He Liangcong: She didn’t treat Wang Yongjun as a bodyguard?!
Xiao Yingchun was stimulated by the surprised expressions of the two men and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, I thought soldiers eat a lot, and I don't eat much myself, so I thought about not wasting food..."
After all, Fu Chenan is a big eater.
But Wang Yongjun is not Fu Chenan... She was careless and must remember it next time.
Xiao Yingchun regretted it and reached out to take back the half steak and half hamburger: "I can actually finish this, why don't you order it yourself?"
Wang Yongjun grabbed the plate and said, "I can eat it."
Without waiting for Xiao Yingchun to say anything, he opened his mouth wide and stuffed half of the hamburger into his mouth.
Xiao Yingchun: “…”
He Liangcong: “…”
What a big mouth!
Xiao Yingchun: "Hahaha... Well, eat more and don't save money for He Liangcong. He has money."
He Liangcong also laughed: "Brother Jun, just order whatever you want to eat."
Wang Yongjun was indeed rude. He ordered four double beef burgers and ate them in no time, making He Liangcong feel inferior.
He Liangcong ate a hamburger and a steak and was full, so the three of them each had a cup of coffee and sat in the store, drinking and chatting.
As they were talking, He Liangcong's cell phone rang.
He looked at the number and frowned slightly: "Hello?"
The person who called was Dai Enning: "Where are you, Brother Cong?"
He Liangcong shrank back in the armchair with a relaxed look: "I'm in London, Ningning, what's the good news?"
"Hahaha, Brother Cong, guess where I am?" Dai Enning on the other end of the phone had a smile in his tone, a pride that he couldn't hide.
