Chapter 72 Auction Venue
Chapter 72 Auction Venue
It was the fat man's first time in such a high-class place. He excitedly ran ahead, but was stopped by the guards just as he was about to reach the entrance.
"Excuse me, sir, please show me your invitation." The guard wasn't deliberately making things difficult; checking the invitation was a necessary procedure.
The fat man frantically searched his body for the invitation, and after a while he remembered that it was on the black dog behind him. He scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "Wait a minute, the invitation is on the person behind me!"
He was about to turn around and call for the black dog to hurry up when the woman beside him scolded the guard with a look of disgust: "How can such a lowly person be allowed to cause trouble at today's event? Aren't the people in the venue going to do anything about it?"
The fat man was furious upon hearing this. What did he mean by "a person of low status"?
He turned his head angrily, and the woman who had mocked him was a beautiful woman with her face covered by a thin veil. Her devilish, serpentine figure was exceptionally alluring. The fat man's anger vanished in that instant, and he stared blankly at her.
Enraged by his stare, the woman, arm in arm with her male companion, snapped, "How dare you insult me in public! Don't you have a death wish?! Look at me again and I'll have your eyes gouged out!!"
"You only glanced at it a few times, you don't need to gouge out my eyes, do you?" The black dog stepped forward with a gloomy face. Seeing that the fat man still looked so pathetic, he was so angry that he slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you still standing there for?! The boss is going in!" Black Dog shouted angrily at his son's lack of ambition.
The fat man shuddered and quickly apologized to Xi Yu with a forced smile: "Hehe, sorry boss, you know I like looking at beautiful women, but of course the most beautiful is you, boss! I just look at the others for fun!"
Xi Yu glanced at him irritably, too lazy to pay him any attention, and simply gestured for the black dog to bring out the invitation.
The black dog handed a completely black invitation to the guard, who glanced at him in surprise, then immediately contacted the person in charge, Zhu Qi, and respectfully invited them inside.
"I apologize for taking up your time. Steward Zhu will be here shortly. Please go inside first."
The guards' change in attitude surprised everyone nearby. When did the Seven Luminaries Pavilion have to bow down to such a kid?
The woman who had just scolded the fat man was especially shocked. She was still stunned when she saw Xi Yu and the others being invited into the venue.
The fat man even turned around playfully and winked at the woman, blowing her a kiss, which made her face contort instantly.
"Stop making a scene! You've completely disgraced us!" The black dog slammed another hammer blow into the fat man's head, causing him to clutch his head in pain.
As soon as they entered the lobby, the person in charge, Zhu Qi, came up to them and led them to the VIP room.
Zhu Qi left a waitress behind before departing, as he had to preside over the auction later.
One wall of this VIP room is made up of floor-to-ceiling windows, through which you can see the high platform in the center outside, which is the auction display area.
The venue was designed in a unique way, with layers of circular floors surrounding a central platform.
The guests stayed in their rooms, bidding and viewing the items from inside. The windows were one-way glass, so the people outside couldn't see into the rooms.
Each room contains a video recording device and a smart brain used for bidding.
The VIP room for Xi Yu and her group was luxuriously furnished, with comfortable sofas, entertainment facilities, and unlimited food and drinks.
You can ask the waiter for any request you may have.
