The sun was setting.
A streak of red glow filled the horizon.
Han Chen and Song Ming drove to the villa entrance to pick up Lin Hao.
After Lin Hao and Xiao Hei got into the car, Han Chen and Song Ming drove all the way towards Cang Pai Ge.
Cang Pai Ge was located by the river in Modu.
This was one of the most prosperous areas in the entire Modu.
The fact that Cang Pai Ge could open here was enough to show its strength.
Half an hour later.
Lin Hao, Xiao Hei, Han Chen, and Song Ming arrived at Cang Pai Ge.
Cang Pai Ge was located on the top floor.
The auction area was a hall covering an area of one thousand square meters.
The hall was decorated in an antique style, with very valuable carpets laid on the floor.
At this moment, the hall was already full of people.
"Little brother, over here."
Han Chen pulled Lin Hao and sat down in the first row.
After Lin Hao sat down, he looked around.
He was immediately stunned.
Tang Ziyuan?
Tang Ziyuan was also sitting in the first row, but on the left side, separated from Lin Hao by an aisle.
Beside Tang Ziyuan, Lin Hao also saw Tang Hongye and Ye Weicai.
Beside Ye Weicai sat a young and beautiful woman, whom Lin Hao did not recognize.
"Little brother, met a friend?" Han Chen asked when he saw Lin Hao looking to the left.
"No." Lin Hao waved his hand, then looked towards the auction stage in front of him.
Although he knew Tang Ziyuan, he no longer had any relationship with her.
Moreover, Lin Hao felt that it was better to distance himself from Tang Ziyuan if possible.
Ever since he met Tang Ziyuan, many troubles had arisen.
Lin Hao felt that his fate and Tang Ziyuan's were definitely not compatible.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
At the same time.
Just as Lin Hao was thinking about these things.
Tang Ziyuan also noticed Lin Hao.
She was surprised when she saw Lin Hao.
However, when she saw Lin Hao glance at her and then turn his head to look at the auction stage, Tang Ziyuan snorted in anger.
From Lin Hao's gaze, she could tell that Lin Hao had completely treated her as air just now.
There was no intention of coming over to greet her at all.
Seeing Lin Hao looking at the auction stage as if nothing had happened, Tang Ziyuan gritted her teeth, wishing she could rush over and beat Lin Hao up.
"Yuan'er, what's wrong?"
Tang Hongye heard his daughter snort and turned to look at Tang Ziyuan.
At the same time, the beautiful woman beside Ye Weicai also looked at Tang Ziyuan and said, "Ziyuan, what's wrong?"
"You wouldn't have seen him, would you?"
"Isn't this membership-based? He can come too?"
"Where is he? Let me see."
"No, don't guess." Tang Ziyuan was startled by the beautiful woman's words and quickly pulled the woman who was looking around, asking her to sit down.
At the same time, Ye Weicai also looked at Tang Ziyuan and asked, "What 'him, him,' who is here?"
"Uncle Ye, Dad, you two talk about your things, why do you always manage me?" Tang Ziyuan looked at Ye Weicai and Tang Hongye, saying helplessly.
"Dad, why are you so gossipy, asking about everything." The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Ye Weicai.
"You little girl, how can you talk to your dad like that?" Ye Weicai raised his hand as if to hit her, but his eyes were full of affection.
"Su Su, don't mind them. What do you plan to bid on tonight?" Tang Ziyuan pulled Ye Susu and said.
"I want to bid on the Jade Reclining Sheep, item number five." Ye Susu said with her eyes shining, "That Jade Reclining Sheep is so beautiful, and I was born in the year of the sheep. Tonight, I must take this little sheep home."
"That Jade Reclining Sheep is indeed beautiful." Tang Ziyuan nodded, then looked at Ye Susu and said, "However, the starting bid for that Jade Reclining Sheep is one million, and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand. It's not cheap."
"It's okay, isn't my dad here? He promised to give it to me as a birthday gift." Ye Susu giggled.
"Moreover, my dad said that although the Jade Reclining Sheep is beautiful, it is actually the lowest grade among today's auction items, and the starting bid is also very high. It is unlikely to appreciate in value in the future, so there should be few people bidding for it."
"Then does that mean it can be bought for one and a half million at most?" Tang Ziyuan asked Ye Susu with a smile.
"It won't take that much, at most one point three million." Ye Susu said confidently.
"Then I can only congratulate you in advance for getting your desired treasure right at the start of the auction." Tang Ziyuan said with a smile.
While Tang Ziyuan and Ye Susu were whispering, Tang Hongye and Ye Weicai's expressions turned cold.
Because they saw Lin Hao.
Actually.
Seeing Lin Hao was not a big deal.
The most important thing was that they saw Lin Hao with Han Chen and Song Ming, the chairman of Tianxing Entertainment.
Seeing this scene.
Ye Weicai and Tang Hongye's hearts were filled with anger.
"Damn it, we were so humble, willing to suffer losses just to make friends with him. It's one thing that he ignored us, but he's actually with that brat from Tianxing and that Han Chen!"
"Damn it, this little brat is clearly looking down on us!"
Ye Weicai looked at Lin Hao and cursed in a low voice, clenching his fists in anger.
Tang Hongye nodded in agreement, "That's right. It's one thing that he's hanging out with Han Chen and Song Ming, but why did he have to come to this auction?"
"Isn't this clearly meant to slap our faces in front of us!?"
"Old Tang, what do you think we should do?" Ye Weicai stared at Lin Hao, gritting his teeth in anger.
Tang Hongye pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Since they are here, they naturally want to bid on something."
"When the time comes, we'll see what they want to bid on, and we'll compete with them. If we can't win, we'll seize the opportunity to let go and make them pay a high price."
"You and I thought of the same thing." Ye Weicai's face showed a smile, but then he chuckled coldly, "However, my idea is that we don't compete with them, but simply drive up the price for them, making them pay a high price."
"After all, everything they want is junk, and we don't need it."
Hearing Ye Weicai's words, Tang Hongye immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good, let's do that!"
Ye Weicai and Tang Hongye discussed their strategy, exchanged glances, and then revealed fox-like smiles.
And at this moment.
The auction officially began.
The first item to appear was a bronze sword.
The bronze sword was three feet long, covered all over with green-bronze rust.
It was from the Qin Dynasty.
The entire sword exuded an ancient aura.
Its condition looked quite decent.
The starting bid was one million yuan, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand.
As soon as this ancient bronze sword from the Qin Dynasty appeared, there was a considerable stir among the audience.
Many antique sword enthusiasts were immediately tempted.
Then, a hearty voice rang out from the back of the hall.
"One point five million."
