Chapter 212: Chapter 212 All the visitors are acquaintances_1
Time quickly moved onto the evening, and the bustling scene outside the Yu Lou Hotel in Yulou Ancient Town was a sight to behold. The parking lot was filled with luxury cars, each worth over a millionâmodels like Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Maybachs that were rare sights on an ordinary day were found in abundance today. The spectacle had several security guards nearly drooling with admiration, and when no one was looking, they took the opportunity to snap and share several pictures with the cars, flaunting them on their social media circles.
The design of the Yu Lou Hotel itself was an imitation of ancient architecture, and the countertops of its reception desks were almost all made of jade stone, displaying the rich jade culture unique to Yulou Ancient Town. The entrance was even graced with a screen crafted from white marble, further accentuating Yulouâs celebrated jade heritage.
At the hotel entrance, a group of beautiful greeters clad in elegant high heels and cheongsams stood smiling, welcoming each guest that came through the doors.
Many of the visitors to Yulou Ancient Town that day were bigwigs well-known in Zhonghai, as well as local tycoons who had traveled from other places. Consequently, the Yu Lou Hotel was abuzz with excitement.
The Yu Lou Hotel had five floors, and the auction had been set in the banquet hall on the third floor.
Next to the elevator on the third floor was a temporary checkpoint, where several security guards and hostesses were stationed, verifying the invitations and identities of the attendees.
Xu Fan hadnât arrived early; by the time he got there, the parking lot was almost full. It took several laps in his Audi S7 to find a small corner spot to squeeze into.
When he entered, there were clearly two available spots, but the hotelâs somewhat overbearing guards claimed that they were reserved for Zhonghaiâs young Qin master and wouldnât let Xu Fan park there.
Upon hearing this, Martial Artist felt the urge to get out of the car and thrash the guard, but Xu Fan stopped him.
His reason for coming was for the items in the auction, and he wanted to avoid any trouble if possible. If a fight caused him to miss out on the treasures, that would be regrettable.
What the guards didnât anticipate was that the elegant woman driving the BMW was merely a driver. When the rear door of the BMW opened, an even more exquisite and enchanting woman stepped out, putting TV stars to shame. The guards, struck by her beauty, were momentarily transfixed.
âMommy, Mommy, pick Tongtong up,â the tender voice of Tongtong resounded from the backseat.
Indeed, the car belonged to Xu Yixue, and the passengers were none other than Ye Xiaoning, Xu Yixue, and the mischievous little Tongtong.
Xu Yixue unbuckled Tongtongâs seatbelt, lifted the little princess in her arms, and together with Ye Xiaoning, they slowly made their way to the staircase.
Several leading companies from Zhonghai Cityâs media industry had also been invited to the auction, but per Qin Haowenâs suggestion, the auction organizers had specifically extended two invitations to Xu Yixueâs Xinghai Media.
He had long coveted Xu Yixue and had been distressed by the lack of opportunity to present himself. Today was the moment he could spend lavishly with the fortune of his family at the auction, and he anticipated that Xu Yixue, witnessing his spendthrift prowess from the audience, might be impressed by his substantial financial power.
Therefore, Qin Haowen made arrangements in his name to reserve two invitations for Xu Yixueâs Xinghai Media. Xu Yixue happened to be free and curious about the rare treasures that would be available at the auction, so after discussing with Ye Xiaoning, they decided to come together.
Although Xu Yixue was aware that her newly established Xinghai Media was in the throes of its challenging startup phase and couldnât spare funds for auction items, Xu Yixue wasnât there to buyâshe was just there to browse.
Women generally prefer window shopping to actually purchasing.
Xu Yixue might not be able to afford the treasures up for auction, but she was still keen to see what priceless items the mysterious event had to offer. Who knows, she thought, perhaps she might get lucky and spot a bargain.
Xu Yixue pulled out two golden invitations from her bag and, along with Ye Xiaoning, made their way gracefully onto the elevator.
