Jian Shi concluded that Xiao Chen must not have seen much at such a young age. No matter how outstanding he was in other aspects, he was definitely not as good as Jian Shi in this aspect.
As the mayor of a big city, he could not always lower his head in front of Xiao Chen.
In fact, Xiao Chen didn't care about his identity or reputation at all, so he still refused.
But the more he declined, the more Jian Shi hoped that he could participate.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, if he continued to decline, he felt that the mayor might fall out with him.
"Mr. Xiao, this antique auction is also a special feature of Wuling. That's why you came here. I really want you to see it. That's why I requested it. Please don't mind it."
Jian Shi didn't forget to express his righteous thoughts after seeing Xiao Chen agree.
"Of course. Since Mayor Jian has invited me, it's not right for me to not go. Besides, I can gain some experience." Xiao Chen nodded and said.
"Mr. Xiao, how much do you know about antiques? If you don't know much about antiques, I can ask my assistant to send you some information. You can take a look before you go. It will be more convenient. "
Jian Shi pretended to be very kind and said.
"Oh, I know a little about antiques. Although not much, it should be enough." Xiao Chen said lightly.
"In that case, let's hope that we can have a good time at the Antique Auction tonight!" Jian Shi said and revealed a very sincere smile.
"Of course." Xiao Chen replied.
After returning to the hotel, Xiao Chen found that Nangong Lengshan had even checked out his room. He couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed like this guy had really gone on his honeymoon with his first love after taking the money. However, his cultivation base and strength had increased tremendously. There weren't many things to do for the time being.
Therefore, he didn't need Nangong Lengshan to stay by his side all the time.
He wasn't very interested in the antique auction at night. The key thing was that although these antiques could indeed enhance one's mood, it would be a competition if such an auction was held.
This was contrary to his initial intention to play with antiques. Originally, he just wanted to have some free time to appreciate and improve his artistic sense.
Now, it had become a fight to the death at the auction. Xiao Chen wasn't interested in such a thing at all.
It was soon night time. According to the agreed time, Jian Shi specially arranged a car to pick Xiao Chen up.
He also specially prepared a high-end suit for Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen did not like to wear it too formally.
He still wore very casual clothes.
When Jian Shi asked, Xiao Chen answered:
"I'm just a spectator. There's no need to dress so grandly. I'll go take a look."
Jian Shi felt a little helpless. The people who came to the Antique Auction were all influential figures in Wuling. He felt a little embarrassed to walk with Xiao Chen in such a dress.
Xiao Chen naturally knew Jian Shi's concerns, so he said to Jian Shi, "Mr Jian, you don't have to stay with me. You can go and play with your own stuff. I just want to take a look. I don't want to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Jian Shi immediately objected.
"Ai, how can Mr. Xiao say that? Since I brought you here, it's necessary for me to accompany you for a stroll. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to my identity as the owner."
"Mr Jian, you are being too harsh on me. I am wearing this kind of clothes, so it is not appropriate for me to embarrass you. Why don't you let your assistant follow me?" Xiao Chen suggested.
Jian Shi thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "Mr. Xiao is the one who has thought it through. Actually, I don't think it is too tight. However, since Mr. Xiao has asked for it, I will go with you."
Just like that, Xiao Chen successfully reached an agreement with Jian Shi. After arriving at the auction venue, the scene was unprecedentedly grand.
Because it was a specially opened venue, the auction was held in a very spacious building that was similar to a palace.0
The entire palace was similar to the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. It was majestic and majestic, and all kinds of neon lights were hung above the main hall. At night, looking from afar, this main hall was the brightest existence.
Xiao Chen originally thought that there was only one auction platform. When he arrived at the scene, he discovered that there were actually three auction platforms. Each auction platform was of a different category, and they were mainly divided into three categories: calligraphy, painting, jade, and porcelain.
There were no more details about the other smaller types. Xiao Chen guessed that they would also appear in the auction later.
Because they were the earliest batch of people, the auction would hold an exhibition before it was held.
All the tourists could watch as they pleased. Of course, some of the more expensive items would be guarded by heavily armed security guards.
After all, some antiques might be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It was necessary to be cautious.
When they arrived at the auction venue, Wong Han, the assistant that Jian Shi had arranged for Xiao Chen, introduced them to Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Xiao, you can now see all the items in the auction. The order of the auction was the same from the outside to inside, so if you are interested in anything... You can go to the zone."
"Alright, I understand." Xiao Chen nodded and walked slowly on the red carpet with his hands behind his back.
Occasionally, people would shout from the side.
"Come, quickly come and take a look. The masterpiece of the famous Qing Dynasty palace painter, Master Leng Mu, Mountain Resort Picture. It was definitely authentic. Friends who liked it could come and take a look. The seller urgently needs funds. Now that the price is 5 million, he directly sells it at a loss! "
"Don't miss it when you pass by! The famous work of the first painter of the Ming Dynasty, 'White Bird Dynasty Phoenix Painting', is definitely authentic. He's taking it away at an exorbitant price of eight million yuan! "
...
Upon hearing that it was Tang Yin's painting, Xiao Chen walked over to take a look with great interest.
He could not help but sneer as he shook his head and walked away.
When the seller noticed Xiao Chen's expression, he immediately became unhappy. He pointed at Xiao Chen and said, "The one who dressed like a beggar over there. Yes. I'm talking about you! Do you have any opinions on my painting? "
Xiao Chen did not expect this person to be so sensitive. But thinking about it, it made sense. Only a thief would feel guilty.
"I don't have any opinions on your painting. It's just a fake painting." Xiao Chen said faintly.
The painter was not surprised, but Wong Han, who was standing behind Xiao Chen, was shocked.
He ran to Xiao Chen's ear and whispered:
"Mr. Xiao, you can't say that randomly. All the antiques here have been tested by several national treasure appraisers. If anything goes wrong, you have to blame them."
