Chapter 420 Auction
After returning home from such a long work, Zhou Xing was so excited that he almost ran around the house twice. He also threw two large boxes outside without opening them, and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.
"I'm so happy, I'm finally back!" From now on, he will never take on such a long time away from work. Thinking that if it wasn't for the fact that he came back to the capital twice for work reasons, he might not have had much chance in the past half a year. go home.
"Are you hungry? Shall I cook something for you?" Seeing the two boxes placed beside him, Qiao Minglang was about to open them to see if there was anything to take out.
"No need, I ate something on the plane, I'm not very hungry." Seeing the young man was going to help him pack his suitcase, Zhou Xing stopped him, not wanting the young man to have to work so hard to pack and bring him back so late Luggage, "Leave the box first, and I will pack it myself tomorrow. It's already so late, let's take a shower and go to bed first."
"Well, you can pack it yourself tomorrow." Qiao Minglang saw that it was getting late, so he pushed the two boxes to the wall and put them away, and he didn't bother with this matter anymore.
The two of them went to take a bath one after the other, and Zhou Xing came out after taking a shower. He saw the young man sitting on the bed and flipping through the book in his hand. The warm yellow light shone on the young man, giving him a soft beauty.After locking his gaze, he walked towards the young man while wiping his hair without even rolling his eyes.
"Have you finished washing?" Qiao Minglang looked up at the man, closed the book in his hand, and put it on the table next to him.Seeing that the hair of the man who came out of the shower was still dripping, he hadn't seen him for a while, and the man's hair seemed to have grown a lot. He said, "Go and blow dry your hair so that you can sleep."
"No hurry, I'll play it later." Zhou Xing looked at the young man with a smile on his lips, and stared at his young man with greedy eyes.
Seeing the way Zhou Xing looked at him, Qiao Minglang knew what this man was going to do, his face blushed involuntarily, and he gave the man who was staring at him an angry look.There was a smile in the acquaintance's eyes.
The two were kissing on the bed, and seeing that they were about to enter the theme, the mobile phone placed by the bed rang.
Hearing that it was his own mobile phone ringing, Zhou Xing cursed, "Damn, who is calling so late!" He picked up the mobile phone and wanted to cut off the call, but when he saw the number on the caller ID, he paused For a moment, I didn't turn off the phone.
Looking at the young man with confused eyes, he picked up the phone, climbed up from the young man, and told the young man with his mouth: I will go outside to answer the phone.
The gravity on his body disappeared immediately, and Qiao Minglang regained his senses.Seeing the man coming out with his mobile phone, he reached out to support his forehead, reached out to turn off the light by the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.
After a while, Zhou Xing ended the call and returned to the bedroom from the outside. He saw that the light in the bedroom had been turned off, and the young man lay down under the quilt. He went out to dry his hair before returning to the room and lifted the quilt. After getting out of bed, he hugged the young man who was still asleep, bowed his head and kissed the young man's mouth, and said, "Brother Peng just called and said that there is new news about something I asked him to pay attention to."
"Well, what is it?" Qiao Minglang asked in a vague way.
"I don't know if I've told you before that when something happened to my house, all the antique calligraphy and paintings in the basement of my house disappeared. I suspect that it was my little stepmother who stole the things together with others. That woman Xu Haimei back then She and her two children also disappeared together. I couldn't find them. I don't know what happened at home, and I don't know where all those antiques, calligraphy and paintings went. I have been asking Brother Peng to help me pay attention to those calligraphy and paintings. News about the three of them, mother and son." Over the years, Zhou Xing has never given up on finding the whereabouts of his little stepmother and those antique calligraphy and paintings, and poured a lot of money into them.
The money he earned in the past few years, except for repaying the debts owed by the family in the past, the rest was spent on finding people and buying two sets of calligraphy and paintings.
This is also the reason why after so many years since his debut, there is no money left from his work.Even the house he just bought upstairs was bought with a loan, and he has to repay the loan to the bank on time every month.
"However, the three of them, mother and child, haven't been found yet. In the past two years, there have been news of several calligraphy and paintings. Just now Brother Peng called to tell me that one of the paintings I was looking for appeared. We will ask for it tomorrow. If you go to country F, you may have to go out for two or three days before you can come back."
"So it's like this. You didn't tell me. I don't know these things yet." Qiao Minglang was not very clear about some things that happened in Zhou Xing's house back then.
All he learned was from the news. Later, Zhou Xing was sent abroad again, so he didn't pay attention to the Zhou family's affairs anymore, and didn't know that such a thing happened here.
"It's not your fault, it's because I didn't tell you." Zhou Xingben didn't want the young man to know about those things in his family, but when he talked about it today, he just mentioned a few words in passing to let the young man know about it.
It happened that he didn't work for the next few days, and he thought he could rest at home for a few days, but now it seems impossible.
Looking at the young man in his arms, Zhou Xing asked, "Do you want to go there with me? We haven't gone out to play since we met. No one knows us over there. Come with me. We can play there by the way." Come back in a few days." With his current status, it is a bit difficult for him to go out in China without being recognized by others, but when he goes abroad, no one knows him, and they can still go out to play together.
"Will I go with you affect your business?" Hearing what Zhou Xing said later, Qiao Minglang was a little moved.The company is run by their family, so it is not difficult for him to not go to work for a few days.
"No, I'll be happier if you go with me." Hearing that the young man didn't mean to refuse, Zhou Xing made a decision, "I'll ask someone to book another ticket tomorrow, and you will come with me then Let's go." Then he lowered his head and blocked the young man's mouth, "Let's continue what we didn't finish just now."
"Wait..." This person spoke as soon as he spoke. Can someone finish his sentence? Qiao Minglang grabbed this person's hair a little frantically, and waited for the gap between the two of them to let go before he made his voice. Come out, "I don't have a visa over there..."
"It's okay, I'll have someone do it for you tomorrow."
After that, it was time for the two of them to be alone.
***
Early the next morning, Zhou Xing sent someone to complete Qiao Minglang's visa and book a flight ticket to country F.Except for an assistant and two bodyguards borrowed from his cousin, the group of five people took the plane to country F and left.
After more than ten hours of flying, the plane landed at an airport in another country. They got out of the plane and took a taxi to the hotel they booked.
After arriving here, Zhou Xing found out the phone number that Peng Jun had left for him, dialed that phone number, got in touch with his friend here, and got the ticket for the auction from the other party .
After resting in the hotel for half a day, they appeared in the venue of the auction that night. Most of the people who appeared in these venues were rich or expensive people.
It was the first time for Qiao Minglang to come to this kind of place, so he inevitably felt a little nervous.
As if feeling the strangeness of the young man, Zhou Xing held the young man's hand and patted it, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be nervous, just take it as a visit to the auction, if you see something you like Let's buy it."
Qiao Minglang took a look at this person, and thought to himself that the things in it don't cost money, and if you see something you like, you can buy it!
"Hehe, don't worry, I still have some money." Looking at the young man's eyes, as if knowing what the young man was thinking, Zhou Xing smiled softly.Otherwise, he has worked hard for almost a year, and he hasn't even returned home a few times. If he doesn't have money, who the hell is working so hard, then he might as well go home and sleep with his wife every day!
"Don't, I don't have anything to buy, don't waste money, your own business is important." Fearing that this person really bought him some flashy things, Qiao Minglang quickly grabbed Zhou Xing's hand and reminded him not to mess around spend money.
While they were whispering, the auction on the stage started.
Several pieces of jewelry and paintings were photographed in succession. There were quite a few people participating in the auction, and there was no movement on their side.Until he saw a blue and white porcelain vase appearing on the stage, Zhou Xing grabbed the young man's hand tightly.
Qiao Minglang looked at the stage, and knew that the item above was something Zhou Xing wanted to buy back during this trip.
"..."
"The gentleman offered 500 million, may I ask if he has not offered a higher price..."
"550."
At the beginning, there were several people who participated in the bidding, but there were only three people left to bid, and the last person withdrew from the auction, leaving only Zhou Xing and another man in a suit to participate in the bidding.
Holding up the sign again, Zhou Xing made a price, and the auctioneer shouted, "650 million!"
"The gentleman below offered 650 million. Is there anyone else who offered a higher price than this?"
"650 million for the first time...650 million for the second time...650 million for the third time, deal!" The auctioneer tapped the hammer in his hand, and the blue and white porcelain vase on the stage was sold at a price of 620 million.
After he paid 650 million, the man who bid with him also withdrew from the auction, and Zhou Xing got what he wanted as he wished.
Of course, such a collection did not attract the attention of too many people in the auction venue, because there were better things that appeared later, which attracted more people's attention.
