Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

The next afternoon, Bai Xi had told the housekeeper Uncle Ma early on that she was going to attend an auction today.

So after lunch, Uncle Ma started to prepare. When he saw that it was almost time, he walked over and knocked on the master bedroom door.

"Miss, the car is ready and we can leave at any time."

"Okay. Go wait for me at the door."

Bai Xi responded, packed herself up briefly and walked to the door. In order to cope with this auction, she used up all the things she bought yesterday.

She was wearing a Chanel spring and summer collection suit, Jimmy Choo rhinestone high heels, a Queen of Naples watch, Cartier flying saucer earrings, and a Hermès mini kelly 2 bag. Her overall look was full of jewels and it was no exaggeration to say that this outfit was enough to buy her a big house in Shanghai.

Coupled with her improved appearance and temperament after being promoted, the term "white, rich and beautiful" is no longer suitable to describe her.

When she opened the door and walked to the entrance, Ma Jie was also shocked. After Bai Xi called him a few times, he reacted and lowered his head to perform standard gentlemanly etiquette.

"Miss, you will definitely be the most dazzling princess at this auction."

Uncle Ma couldn't help but admire him, and hurriedly and carefully helped Bai Xi get into the car, then sat in the driver's seat and drove to the venue of the charity auction - the Bulgari Hotel.

......

The car soon arrived at the Bulgari Hotel. Bai Xi asked the butler Uncle Ma to park the car and wait for her in the lobby. Because the invitation for this charity conference was for one seat per person, it was not convenient to bring him in.

Bai Xi came to the banquet hall on the second floor of Bulgari with her handbag. At this time, there were already quite a few people in the entire auction venue.

Bai Xi took out the invitation letter given by Xu Zhiwen from her handbag and handed it to the service staff at the door.

Seeing the invitation handed over by Bai Xi, the waiter's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic. He bent down and took her invitation: "Good evening, Miss Bai. Please follow me and I will show you to your seat."

Sotheby's chose to hold this auction in Bulgari's banquet hall, which is naturally different from their auction center in Hong Kong. There are no private rooms here and everyone is in the same hall.

The seats are divided into several levels based on the distance from the auction booth. The first three rows are naturally the best seats, with spacious seats, good views, and various service facilities that are not comparable to the seats in the back.

The service staff led Bai Xi all the way to the middle position of the second row. This position had a clear view, but it was not as conspicuous as the first row. Obviously, Xu Zhiwen had put a lot of effort into getting this invitation for her. Otherwise, with her savings of only 100 million, she would not be able to get such a good position.

It would be better to give the subsequent system reward cash to China Merchants Bank. Bai Xi supported her chin with her left hand. She has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. If you provide good service, I will naturally repay you.

"Huh? Miss Bai?"

Bai Xi, who was boredly waiting for the auction to begin, suddenly heard someone calling him. He subconsciously looked up and met a pair of hesitant eyes.

"Ah, Mr. Lu, what a coincidence?"

Bai Xi didn't expect to meet Lu An here. Isn't he from Poly Auction House? Doesn't his appearance here seem like he's trying to cause trouble?

Only after hearing her voice did Lu An finally confirm her identity. Looking at her face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's not like he hasn't seen beautiful women with his wealth, but if you saw an ugly duckling two days ago and a white swan today, I think everyone would have the same reaction.

"Maybe Miss Bai and I are destined to be together. Sotheby's is a veteran in the industry, and I came here today to learn from him. Does Miss Bai have another item she likes?"

Lu An replied with a chuckle.

"Well, there are a few antiques I'm interested in today. Isn't Miss Lu coming with you?"

"Yes, our place is in the back."

Bai Xi nodded and glanced back. Sure enough, he found Lu Shiyao in a formal dress in the fourth row, but he also saw two familiar people next to her.

How did Chen Luoyi and Shang Wanqiu get involved with her?

Bai Xi frowned, a little surprised. Shang Wanqiu was fine, as her family was from Shanghai and a business family, but Chen Luoyi?

"Never mind, never mind, it's none of my business," Bai Xi shook his head, picked up the auction brochure for tonight and started flipping through it. Seeing this, Lu An tactfully said nothing, said hello, and returned to his seat.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the auctioneer appeared at the auction table on time and announced the official start of the auction.

The first item to be auctioned is a white jade lying horse from the Qing Dynasty. The horse's body is smooth and warm, and looks very exquisite.

"Here it comes, this is my gift for the photo shoot!"

A voice sounded not far behind Bai Xi. She turned around curiously and found a man proudly showing off to his female companion.

"You bastard, why is my paperweight missing?"

Shortly after he finished speaking, an angry voice sounded.

There's a melon! Bai Xi's eyes lit up, and she saw a middle-aged man in her row who looked about 70% similar to the man, his hair standing on end in anger.

"Ah! Dad! Why are you here!"

The man's face suddenly turned pale and he looked a little panicked.

In the end, this white jade ornament was bought back by the dark-faced uncle for 60 yuan. Seeing how he was trying his best to endure, Bai Xi felt that the boy behind her might have one leg broken tonight.

Is this the world of the rich? Bai Xi didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

Soon, the staff brought up the second item.

When she saw the auction item clearly, Bai Xi sat up straight. This was one of her targets tonight, a white jade teapot with longevity and ruyi ears from the Qianlong period.

This jade pot is white and delicate, and appears warm and textured under the light.

"Qing Dynasty white jade teapot with longevity and ruyi handles, starting price 10, each increment must not be less than 5, bidding begins!"

"15 million!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately called out his or her price.

There are so many rich people. Looking at the rising prices, Bai Xi sighed in her heart. She waited until the number of bidders gradually decreased before she started to make her efforts.

"50."

"50 million for the first time!"

"60 million!"

When Lu An's voice sounded, Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, but turned around to see Lu An's apologetic eyes and Lu Shiyao's provocative expression beside him.

Well, it seems that he still holds a grudge against me from last time. Bai Xi shook his head and continued to hold up the sign.

"100."

"110 million!"

"200."

Bai Xi quoted the price without hesitation, which made the guests next to him look at him sideways. If this was not a scam, it was to highlight that he was determined to get it. You should know that the market price of this jade pot is only about 70, which is directly three times the price.

Lu An hesitated for a moment, but decided not to continue raising the price. He actually came here with a mission tonight and his funds were limited.

Lu An ignored Lu Shiyao's ugly expression and spread his hands, indicating that he would not follow. As the auctioneer's hammer fell, the first jade pot was taken by Bai Xi.
