Chapter 219 Disturbance
Now that he has mixed in, there is no need for Xiao Yun to take the reporter's pass to install it. So Xiao Yun threw the reporter's permit on his chest into the garbage can and changed. A gentleman in a suit and leather appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Xiao Yun walked slowly to the hall with a reserved smile, without a trace of unnaturalness, so that people would not connect him with those who broke in with fakes at a glance.
In the elegant and luxurious hall, the wall lamp emits a slight light. Richard Clydeman's piano song "Starry Sky" flows slowly like a clear spring. The gorgeous Italian crystal chandelier on the ceiling emits crystal light, coupled with the R Fausian painting on the ceiling, making the whole hall more artistic in luxury.
Those gentlemen and ladies in full clothes all have a reserved smile on their faces, holding or elegantly showing their perfect side to the people around them as much as possible. So that you can win the favor of the people around you.
This is the top auction party and the top social dinner. Here, no matter whether you are noble or not, whether you are knowledgeable or not, you will try your best to perform perfectly enough. The most appreciative cultivation is shown in speech and demeanor.
It is not the first time for Xiao Yun to attend such a party. The so-called practice makes perfect, and Xiao Yun quickly integrated himself into this environment. When the waiter passed by with a champagne plate, Xiao Yun elegantly picked up a glass of champagne and gently touched a so-called gentleman who did not know it at all. He tasted a little and joined the conversation of these gentlemen.
For this kind of occasion, it is simply tailor-made for Xiao Yun. In this hall, everyone wears a hypocritical mask, while Xiao Yun, who is in the practice world and various forces, has a unique advantage in pretending. Therefore, Xiao Yun can be said to be the most competent performer.
The reserved words, proper manners, clever response, and accidental wonderful words made Xiao Yun know a lot of people in a long time. The unchanged bragging made Xiao Yun successfully create the image of a super-rich man from Tokyo.
While bragging, Xiao Yun carefully observed the surrounding security personnel and the possible surveillance system around him. At the same time, Xiao Yun is also looking for that beautiful figure.
Therefore, Xiao Yun's figure was hypocritically socializing in one circle after another, tasting champagne, and Xiao Yun's eyes kept looking at everything around him.
Xiao Yun is waiting for Elizabeth to send him the latest information about the imperial study. Unfortunately, Xiao Yun didn't even see the shadow of Elizabeth and Kiyoko Ito.
Of course, Xiao Yun didn't see the figure flashing away at the door.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Yun couldn't help frowning. Xiao Yun had figured out the location of the security personnel here and the gap between their patrols. Several hidden monitors were also found by Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun also found a route to avoid the monitor.
However, Elizabeth and Kiyoko Ito still did not appear, which made Xiao Yun frown.
Xiao Yun came out of a group of people talking about investing in biotechnology. When he turned around depressedly, Xiao Yun couldn't help pause for a second, because he saw the familiar figure.
Dongfang Shengnan, how could she appear here?
I saw Dongfang Shengnan wearing a set of sky-blue off-the-shoulder evening dress, fragrant shoulders like crisp, a waist and fat buttocks, and his figure is exquisite and full of vitality.
Xiao Yun walked over quietly. Before he approached, a faint body fragrance spread to Xiao Yun's nostrils. Xiao Yun has always regarded Dongfang Shengnan as a capable security guard. However, he didn't expect that Dongfang Shengnan was so feminine when he put on a evening dress and his long hair fluttered.
Attracted by the faint fragrance of Dongfang Shengnan, Xiao Yun couldn't help getting closer. Dongfang Shengnan was talking to a middle-aged man in a low voice. They seemed to be very engaged and did not notice Xiao Yun, who was getting closer and closer.
Xiao Yun turned his back to Dongfang Shengnan and wanted to hear what the two were talking about. However, what made Xiao Yun depressed was that the other party spoke not Chinese or R, but Italian. In addition, the speed of the two spoke very fast, so Xiao Yun couldn't understand at all.
I don't speak Italian anymore. Even if it's R, Xiao Yun learned it when he arrived here.
When he was depressed, the looming fragrance of orchids was a little stronger. When he turned around, he saw that Dongfang Shengnan had come to his side. The exquisite face only showed half of the face, but it had an unforgettable charm.
Xiao Yun really didn't expect that his original female bodyguard would appear in the Showa Manor. What's more, I didn't expect that Dongfang Shengnan was so charming after he took off that masculine image.
Although Dongfang Shengnan had a faint smile on his face, Xiao Yun did not feel any kindness. The jade man was around, and he had not seen each other for so long, but Xiao Yun felt that the two were as far away as a large ocean.
At this moment, Elizabeth came over and stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Yun's hand. Xiao Yun was stunned, took a look at Elizabeth, and then walked forward pretending not to know him, but he held a small note in his hand, which was written in R: the book was on the auctioneer. The auctioneer is a royal ninja of R country, and his strength is very strong.
When he got this note, Xiao Yun couldn't help frowning. At this time, the other party actually let a royal ninja take it on his body. Obviously, he realized the importance of the book, and it was not easy to get it unconsciously.
At this time, the crystal chandelier in the hall suddenly went out, and only the wall lamp in the whole hall was still emitting a soft light. Then, a gorgeous light suddenly flashed in front of the rostrum, and the rhythm of the music was no longer slowed down, but accelerated a lot. Obviously, the auction is about to begin.
The gentlemen and ladies who were originally scattered in the hall have now given up their hypocritical entertainment and began to walk slowly to the rostrum. On the rostrum, a slightly short middle-aged man appeared. He is Matsushita Sadano, the current president of Panasonic Group. The initiator of this charity dinner.
Matsushita Sadano's speech was very simple, but as the host, he simply thanked the guests, and then the Crown Prince R was invited to speak on the stage.
Subsequently, the crown prince of R delivered an enthusiastic speech, which attracted applause from the guests.
In the warm applause, the crown prince of R country announced the official start of the auction, and with the flashing of lights, a middle-aged man in a white tuxedo came to the stage.
According to the latest information conveyed by Elizabeth, the book is on this middle-aged man. Dongfang Shengnan, who was not far from Xiao Yun, also stared at the middle-aged man on the stage.
Judging from Dongfang Shengnan's expression, she also seemed to be interested in the middle-aged man.
Did the Chinese government know about this?
Xiao Yun couldn't help muttering. Thinking about it, how could that guy sell Elizabeth intelligence to others? It should be possible for the Chinese government to know this.
However, in this way, Xiao Yun is a little embarrassed. What about getting the book and giving it to Elizabeth? Or give it to Dongfang Shengnan?
Just when Xiao Yun couldn't choose, tonight's highlight charity auction began. With the appearance of the valuable treasures, the scene became warm, and everyone seemed to want to have a try. Of course, most of them have never thought of being able to take pictures of these treasures. Their purpose is to show more faces at such a banquet full of celebrities, which is conducive to their future development.
Soon, the first auction item was placed on the auction table. That's a superior white jade Guanyin statue from China. White jade is produced in the northwest of China. There is no trace of impurities. White jade Guanyin shines faintly under the light of the bright light. The light is inconvenient and not cold, giving people a gentle feeling. Coupled with the ingenious knife work, the whole white jade Guanyin looks like a treasure and solemn feeling. This is a rare auction item.
"Guys, this white jade Guanyin comes from the Ming Dynasty in China. It is said to be a royal collection. You must have seen it. Now, at the request of Mr. Matsushita before the official auction begins, all the money obtained from this auction is donated to the Charity Fund for the Relief of Orphans.
As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the guests present immediately applauded, and the scene became more enthusiastic.
After the thunderous applause disappeared, the auctioneer knocked on the auction hammer and said loudly, "Now, the auction officially begins. The first one is the white jade Guanyin, a collection in the palace of the Ming Dynasty in China, with a reserve price of 10 million US dollars. Each time you bid 500,000 US dollars, please bid..."
As the auctioneer's words fell, one person soon bid.
"Okay... The gentleman over there offered 15 million, which is incredible. The price is increased by 5 million US dollars at a time. I don't know if there is a higher bid?
"16 million... OK, this lady's bid is 16 million. Is there anything higher? 16 million once, 16 million twice, 16 million three times, deal..."
With the heavy fall of the auction hammer, the white jade Guanyin was successfully auctioned at a price of $16 million.
"The next auction item is an armor worn by Oda Nobunaga in the R Warring States Period, with a reserve price of 5 million US dollars and a single price increase of 500,000 US dollars. Please bid."
"5.5 million, the lady over there offered 5.5 million yuan. Is there a higher bid?"
"6 million, the gentleman over there bids 6 million yuan. Is there any higher?"
"6.5 million, the lady over there bids 6.5 million yuan. Is there any higher?"
"7 million, the gentleman over there bids 7 million. Is there any higher bid?"
At this time, Dongfang Shengnan, who had never cared about Xiao Yun, frowned and looked at Xiao Yun. The first bidder was Dongfang Shengnan, and the second bid was Xiao Yun. She didn't expect that someone would shoot with her. She couldn't help looking at Xiao Yun and then patting again.
"7.5 million, the lady over there bids 7.5 million yuan, which is an unprecedented sky-high price. Is there any higher bid?"
"Wow! The gentleman over there bid again, 8 million... 8 million! Is there anything higher than 8 million?
Xiao Yun, who had raised the card, took back the card and smiled at Dongfang Shengnan. The meaning was obvious. You raised it and I also raised it. I was a soy sauce player. This move made Dongfang Shengnan's teeth itchy.
At this time, the auctioneer's excited voice came: "Wow... Yes... Ha ha... Our Prince raised the card, and his bid was 9 million." The auctioneer's expression was respectful, but he couldn't hide his joy.
With the participation of the prince, the price of this armor began to soar.
Sure enough, because of the intervention of the prince of R, a lady also began to bid. Xiao Yun didn't buy these so-called collections at all, so he also joined in the fun. Anyway, it didn't cost money to raise the cards. So he kept holding the cards, which made the price of this armor soar to 21 million US dollars.
However, when one person raised the price to $25 million, Xiao Yun did not join in the fun. Although it's free to hold the card, if it's messed up, it can't be sold! Anyway, a piece of junk can be sold for 25 million US dollars. Even if the crown princess of R can finally take out 1% of the money to help orphans, it is 250,000 US dollars, a lot.
