After relying on the motherland, my supermarket has become more and more prosperous.

The magnificent banquet hall was brightly lit, and successful people in gorgeous clothes were toasting each other and chatting happily.

What a lively, luxurious and high-end dinner!

Jiang Wanwan, who was in the middle of it, looked a little out of place sitting in the corner with a glass of champagne in her hand.

To be honest, as an ordinary person, Jiang Wanwan had only seen banquets like this on TV.

As for now, even though she has a golden finger, she has never participated in any event because she doesn't like crowds.

Fortunately, this was Jiang Wanwan’s first banquet.

But because she was confident, although she was not used to it in many ways, she did not show any signs of fear.

However, looking at Sun Xiaoshuang chatting and laughing with others in the room, Jiang Wanwan felt a little surprised.

When she was in school, Sun Xiaoshuang acted like an ordinary rich college student.

This was the first time Jiang Wanwan saw such a different side of Sun Xiaoshuang.

The calmness in his gestures and the confidence when talking to others were things he had never shown in school.

Looks a little strange!

However, the feeling of strangeness that had just arisen immediately disappeared when Sun Xiaoshuang walked over, sat down elegantly, and whispered in Jiang Wanwan's ear.

"Ah, finally we've said hello, my mouth is dry!"

These words suddenly turned Sun Xiaoshuang back into the familiar girl.

"You are smiling so brightly, I thought you were really happy!" Jiang Wanwan said as she handed the undrunk champagne in her hand to the other person.

Sun Xiaoshuang took the champagne, leaned sideways and drank it all in one gulp, moistened her throat, and then continued speaking.

"What a joke! My face is frozen from laughing!"

As she said this, she put down the champagne glass and wanted to reach out and rub her cheeks, but then she remembered that she was still wearing delicate makeup!

Finally, he had no choice but to put his hand down and continued to speak in a low voice.

"There's less than half an hour left before the auction starts. Let's sit here for another ten minutes and then go to the venue!"

Seven forty-five.

Sun Xiaoshuang took Jiang Wanwan to the auction venue in the banquet hall.

As for Li Qinglan, she was left in the banquet hall and would go back together after the auction was over.

Of course, this is just what Sun Xiaoshuang thought.

The auction venue is not small, with about a hundred chairs placed inside.

Now most of those seats are occupied.

Sun Xiaoshuang pulled Jiang Wanwan and sat in the second to last row.

There were still about ten minutes before the auction started. Some people at the scene closed their eyes to rest, while others were talking in low voices.

As for Sun Xiaoshuang, she was quietly introducing the big guys sitting in the front row to Jiang Wanwan!

"Look, that's the mayor of Kyoto. Since you're in Kyoto, I'll go with you to say hello!"

There's no need to say hello!

Jiang Wanwan smiled, but she was rejecting it in her heart.

"And the governor of the neighboring province, I didn't expect him to come here too."

The governor of the neighboring province? I don’t know him.

"Oh my god, that guy seems to be the commander of a certain military region. I didn't expect him to come here too."

Hey, I seem to know this person. I have seen him before in a meeting with the bosses.

"And that, the Minister of Propaganda."

He looks familiar. By the way, we have met before in the military area during the mecha combat drill.

"The one next to it is..."

As Sun Xiaoshuang introduced them one by one, Jiang Wanwan had a general understanding of the identities of the people sitting in the front row.

I have to say that there are indeed quite a few big shots coming to this auction.

There are several people that Jiang Wanwan has met.

In addition to the big guys in the front row, there are also some provincial and ministerial-level cadres and military district division commanders sitting in the middle.

As for the people sitting in the last few rows, they are all CEOs of listed companies.

As time passed, the auction was about to begin.

At this time, two more people walked in and sat down in the back row on the left.

Sun Xiaoshuang turned around subconsciously, originally just taking a casual look.

But when he saw the appearance of one of them, his eyes widened.

After staring blankly for a few seconds, she finally turned her gaze to Jiang Wanwan.

Very surprised, but had to lower his voice and ask, "Is that your cousin?"

Jiang Wanwan turned her head, glanced at Xu Jinghuai and Li Qinglan who were sitting next to her, and nodded helplessly: "Yes!"

"How did she get in?" Sun Xiaoshuang asked curiously.

She had already explained how rare it was to get a spot in this auction.

"I don't know. Maybe someone next to her brought her in?" Jiang Wanwan gave her own guess.

After hearing what Jiang Wanwan said, Sun Xiaoshuang looked at the man who came in with her again, and then looked away doubtfully.

At this time, it was already eight o'clock.

An auctioneer in a cheongsam walked up to the auction table, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

The auctioneer said a few opening words and the live auction began.

Jiang Wanwan had only seen auctions on TV before.

Participating in person nowadays is actually no different from what you see on TV.

Just being there, listening to the people bidding higher and higher, my emotions couldn't help but be aroused.

After that, half an hour passed and the auction was halfway through, but Sun Xiaoshuang still didn't make a bid.

Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"What did you come here specially this time to film? Hasn't it appeared yet?"

"Don't worry, what I want should be in the finale." Sun Xiaoshuang explained.

In fact, not only Sun Xiaoshuang, but even the big guys she had introduced to her did not say a word.

It seems that their goal should be the same thing!

I don’t know what it is that attracts so many people to want it?

As one precious item after another was sold at a high price, the auction was coming to an end.

Finally, at nine o'clock, a box covered with red satin and about one meter long was brought up.

The auctioneer's next words made everyone present sit up straight.

"Next, we have a new lot that was added yesterday, and it's also the finale of this auction."

"I know many of the distinguished guests here are here for this purpose. So, I won't waste any more words. This thousand-year-old ginseng root contains special substances. The starting price is 100 million RMB, and each bid must be no less than 10 RMB."

As the words fell, the red silk covering the box was also pulled open, revealing the true contents of the box.

Inside the box was a brown root with many branches, one or two meters long.

Although these roots are mixed but not messy, they are scattered and fixed in the box, and they look quite spectacular when they are densely packed.

Is this... ginseng root?
