Chapter 109 Unusual
You know, if this document can be deciphered, its value will be immeasurable and it may reshape human understanding of past civilizations.
"I'll give you 10 million!"
Almost before the host finished announcing the bottom price, a guest who was also wearing a kitten mask couldn't wait to raise his sign in response.
Subsequently, the bidding war quickly entered a white-hot state.
But within just a few minutes, the bid price had already soared to an astonishing height, a full ten times the starting amount!
At this time, Su Yuan was very conflicted.
On the one hand, she was very curious about the truth behind this ancient book. After all, it was undoubtedly exciting to be able to participate in such historical excavation work.
However, on the other hand, I feel that it is too risky to invest such a large amount of money in something with high uncertainty.
"Wouldn't it be more practical to use these resources to expand the factory?"
However, handing over all your assets is a big deal after all, especially in such a public setting, you need to think twice before doing it.
Although everyone was wearing a mask to hide their true appearance, some differences could still be seen upon careful observation.
"There must be some unknown secret hidden here."
With this keen intuition, Su Yuan began to carefully look at these competitors around him who seemed ordinary but each had their own goals.
She bit her lip and searched the box for familiar figures.
Several familiar faces flashed through my mind.
Finally, I decided to start by collecting more information.
So after thinking about it, he waved to the room waiter.
"Hello, could you please tell me what the male-to-female ratio is in the next room?"
At the same time, a card representing a high tip was handed over as a reward.
"Excuse me."
I hope this move can provide me with more useful intelligence.
The other party was very happy to receive the money, and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face, as if he had received the best gift in the world. Then he told all the information he knew in one breath.
The three men and three women are all young people, and their combination is very special.
The arrangement in one of the rooms is particularly eye-catching, as only a pair of men and women live there.
Especially the young man in Room 3, he always likes to hold a fan in his hand and carries it with him wherever he goes. Su Yuan thought that if he guessed correctly, that person should be Situ Yefeng.
Thinking of this, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
When chatting with friends earlier, the topic of Situ Yefeng had already been mentioned.
At that time, Yang Sheng ended the topic by saying "it's purely for showing off".
After coming to her senses, Su Yuan quickly called the waiter and asked for a note.
Although the waiter was not sure of the customer's intention, he politely handed him a clean and tidy piece of white paper and a pen that could write smoothly.
Without any hesitation, Su Yuan wrote a few lines describing the characteristics of the antique on this blank space.
When the record was later brought back to the waiter, he quickly took it and soon brought back the reply.
Just one glance and he was sure that this was the message from Situ Yefeng.
Then he asked the waiter, "Excuse me, can we have someone enter the same private room to talk together?"
Faced with this sudden request, the waiter seemed a little embarrassed.
After thinking for a moment, he responded cautiously: "Miss, please wait a moment, I will ask the supervisor for his opinion."
Su Yuan did not urge the other party to come back quickly, but just picked up the teacup and sipped it calmly.
She cast her gaze towards the ongoing auction, where the pace was so slow that the spectators couldn't help but smile meaningfully.
The bidding was unusually quiet. Even though the auctioneer tried every possible way to liven up the atmosphere, he was unable to attract the buyers' attention.
Is it because there aren't big enough bidders involved?
So far, no bidding has been heard from any of the VIP rooms.
Not long after, the slightly anxious feeling of waiting dissipated, and the waiter came back with good news.
Perhaps because he had guessed some reasons in his mind, his attitude when facing Su Yuan again was even more respectful than before.
"Miss, since your request is clear and reasonable, and our supervisor has approved this request. Please allow me to take you there now."
Su Yuan stood up with her handbag and followed the guide into the door of Hall No. 3.
The man wearing the fox mask was obviously not expecting the sudden visitor, so when he turned around and found that the uninvited guest was one of his good friends, Su Yuan, his face was full of surprise.
The two waiters who were originally responsible for serving on the left and right showed great wit and flexibility. They quietly retreated outside, leaving each other with relatively independent and private space.
"Su Yuan! Why did you suddenly come here?"
Even though I already knew that this friend was also invited to attend the event tonight, I was still confused by her sudden appearance here.
Situ Yefeng sat down on the sofa chair opposite him with an open and unrestrained attitude, leaning back on it. He then took off the things that were covering his face and put them aside. "Don't you think today's scene looks quite unusual?"
While talking, he kept playing with the object in his hand.
Hearing this, the other party was silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth to answer, "Actually, I have my doubts about this as well, but due to the lack of solid facts to support it, I have never mentioned it to you."
After hearing the explanation, he was even more confused and wanted to get more details, so he immediately asked, "Why do you always hesitate and evade the question, as if you have a secret that you won't express directly?"
She tugged at her hair a few times in an attempt to lighten her nerves. "I'm just worried that the items up for sale today might all be fakes."
He coughed and nearly choked on the cake he had just swallowed. He quickly placed the remaining portion on the table and frowned, asking, "Is this true?! What's the basis for making such a judgment?"
The other party shook his head helplessly to express his denial, "There is no substantial evidence, it's just a guess based on intuition."
At this moment, I finally understood the cause and effect relationship behind the matter.
It turns out that Mr. Zhu, who had shown a certain reaction during the earlier communication with himself, probably spoke in that way deliberately to arouse other people's interest and focus because he had already known about the concerns of relevant parties in advance.
She rolled her eyes and said, clearly unhappy, "So you wanted me to come and see if it's true. Do you trust me that much?"
To be honest, even though she has been working hard to learn the skills and knowledge to appreciate antiques, she is not completely confident that she can tell the authenticity of such priceless items.
