Winter Blazing Wild

Han Cheng vented his anger for a while and waited for a while, but there was no movement on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, are you listening?"

I was about to lose my temper, but was stopped by the other party's ignorance.

Just as I was about to curse, the phone was hung up.

I heard footsteps in front of me, and when I looked up, the person on the phone appeared in front of me.

Han Cheng stepped back in fear, his face filled with horror, "You...why are you here?"

Zhou Shenye put away his phone. "Do I look that scary? You look like you've seen a ghost."

It does look like a ghost, but it looks more like Hancheng.

He looked around furtively and lowered his voice, "You are standing here talking to me in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid of being seen by Yu Tang?"

"Your performance was not good, so of course I have to come and help you clean up."

Zhou Shenye's eyes dimmed. "It's okay if she saw me. I didn't mean to hide it from her. It was just a misunderstanding."

Han Cheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Shenye again.

"Your mission for today is complete. Go back."

Han Cheng glared angrily. "You're just ungrateful! You're using me and then kicking me out. Can't I go to the auction?"

Zhou Shenye opened his mouth and stabbed him directly in the heart, "Do you have the money to participate?"

Han Cheng was speechless, with only anger surging in his heart.

He is not a poor man.

There is no poverty if one can enjoy art. I have held several art exhibitions this year, and they are so perfect that the best is used in every detail. The ticket prices are not expensive, and I have invested all the money in my pocket.

I'm really a bit short of money now.

"Even if I don't participate in the auction myself, don't you need me to help you increase your popularity?" Han Cheng thought of another idea and really wanted to go to the auction to take a look.

Zhou Shenye patted his shoulder and said, "With you here, the situation will get out of control even more easily. Go back quickly. I'll contact you next time I need you to come forward."

He is indeed an expert at destroying bridges after crossing them.

In the end, Han Cheng was driven away.

Zhou Shenye entered the venue just in the last two seconds before the auction started.

At this moment, Yu Tang was sitting in the middle of the first row, replying to work messages with his head down.

"The first batch of Pavot arrived on time, and sales in just this morning have already surpassed the same period last year. Should we increase the stock?"

Yu Tang quickly replied, "No need. Although we don't use hunger marketing tactics, we still have to follow our own pace."

After replying to the message, Yu Tang deleted the business information on the sales form, leaving only the final data for comparison, clicked on Zhou Shenye's profile picture, and forwarded it.

By the way, "Your appeal is stronger than I thought."

Just after she sent the message, she heard the sound of a mobile phone message alert. She turned her head and saw someone sitting down next to her.

When she looked again, she was stunned.

"Zhou Shenye?"

Zhou Shenye made a silent gesture, "Keep your voice down and don't draw everyone's attention. I don't want to be the focus today."

Yu Tang's surprise remained undimmed, but he lowered his voice a bit, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Shenye approached her and said, "I've never been to an auction like this before. I'm very interested. I came to see if there are any rare treasures to broaden my horizons."

Yu Tang sneered, "I always feel like you're not holding your fart well."

"Tsk, could you use a little friendlier words when you evaluate me?" Zhou Shenye pretended to be aggrieved.

Yu Tang squinted his eyes, "Being said to be weak-minded?"

Zhou Shenye reminded her again to keep her voice down, as the host on the stage had already picked up the auction hammer and the auction was about to begin.

The items in the first few rounds of auction were all relatively common embroidery, and the prices were not high. Basically, the auction ended after two bids, so there was not much need for competition.

Zhou Shenye yawned and asked quietly, "Which one do you like?"

Yu Tang's eyes were firm, and he was determined to win. "Number six."

Zhou Shenye looked at the pieces according to the numbers and found that number six was the most inconspicuous one among all the magnificent embroidery works on the stage.

He was puzzled, "Is there anything special about number six?"

Yu Tang asked back, "What do you think? Can you see anything?"

Zhou Shenye squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while. "Double-sided embroidery is now a very mature technology. No. 6 is not very dominant, but it can be seen that some effort has been put into the selection of yarn. It has a very realistic feel. The color combination is relatively traditional, and the theme is not too bizarre. Moreover..."

He paused and frowned. "It's only half, so... the key point of this work is in the other half?"

"Wow," Yu Tang turned to look at him, his eyes clearly brightening, "You have a sharp eye. It seems you know a bit about embroidery."

Zhou Shenye raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you say that I'm naturally smart and learned without a teacher?"

"Narcissist," Yu Tang rolled his eyes at him. "This traditional craft is different from other skills. Even the most gifted person can't learn it without guidance. You're just lucky, right?"

Zhou Shenye didn't deny it. "Then explain to me why you're attracted to number six."

"Number Six's embroidery is called 'Cloud Embroidery'. It's a unique skill passed down from my master. He improved it and developed it even further, but he didn't leave many of his works behind. Aside from selling some and giving some away to people in the industry, the only ones he has left are..."

Yu Tang looked at Number Six on the stage and his breathing became heavy.

"My master stayed in the ICU for almost a month after the accident. The first thing he did after regaining consciousness was to find me and hand me a piece of embroidery that was only half left. He told me that this piece of embroidery held a secret related to him, and that I had to find the other half to piece together the truth."

"Then why didn't he know what the secret was?"

"He wasn't in a clear mind at the time, and he didn't even know what he said. Perhaps he didn't want me to be too impulsive and wanted me to find the answer myself."

Yu Tang had wondered and analyzed the reasons behind this, but he really didn't know what his master's real purpose was.

But no matter what, her goal will not change.

Zhou Shenye's expression grew solemn, following Yu Tang's mood. "So you already knew that this lost piece of embroidery would appear at today's auction?"

Yu Tang shook his head, "No, I'm just betting on a possibility."

"bet?"

"After Master's accident, the embroidery industry has changed dramatically. Mr. Su can be considered a top businessman now, so it's very likely that this half piece of embroidery fell into his hands."

Zhou Shenye didn't say anything else. While the two were talking, the first five lots had already been sold.

Come to the sixth one.

Yu Tang held his breath as the host finished a brief introduction and said, "The starting price for this item is 50,000 yuan. Bidding begins now."

Before Yu Tang could raise his sign, a voice came from behind him.

"Eighty thousand."
