The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife
Chapter 243: [Charity Auction]
She knew that Xie Zheng and his friends were behind the development of Ningrui's real estate production capacity. Otherwise, in the man's world, a woman would rush in to fight for the territory, and she would have been defeated before her rise.
And Xu Ning's career was so smooth because of being Xie Zheng's wife.
Society is actually a society of personal affection, and it is also a society that depends on background. If you want to become bigger, you must have both strength, background and luck.
"Is your sister-in-law dressed properly?" Qin Zhao thought, since he hasn't bought clothes for his wife for a long time, why don't she take pictures of them herself.
"I made it according to my own size." Xu Ning's breasts are relatively large, at least He Min can't compare. The other party has had a hard life since he was a child, and he is somewhat malnourished. Such a girl's development will generally be affected.
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, glanced at Xu Ning, and finally hummed after a while, "That's really challenging."
Xu Ning couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing and collapsed on Qin Zhao, "If my sister-in-law knows, you will kneel on the washboard."
"Secret it!" Qin Zhao followed his cousin's words, "However, there will still be many people who buy it. If it's not suitable, it's a big deal to go back and modify it."
"Otherwise, forget it. I'll auction off a case of wine. The auction ends at ten o'clock tonight, isn't it?"
Qin Zhao sighed, "I feel like I'm going to bleed a lot tomorrow."
"Don't be stupid." Xu Ning patted him on the shoulder, "Every year, the winery brews about 1,200 cases of red wine, and a fixed auction of 1,000 cases, the winery will keep 200 cases for itself, of which ten cases will be kept Give it to the winemaker couple of the winery, and give my parents two boxes. Your brother-in-law can drink two or three boxes a year leisurely, and the rest will be kept in the wine cellar. If you want to drink, go to my room tonight and give you two boxes. I brought four boxes of wine this time, and the remaining one is for Zhang Meng."
Qin Zhao put his arms around her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead, "My sister is so generous."
Last year at the Belgian red wine auction, the most expensive box of red wine bottled by Ningrui Winery sold for 8 million US dollars, with an average of 800,000 US dollars per bottle. The rhythm of the pie, too much money.
In fact, there are no less than 20 wineries in China so far, but only three or five are famous, and Ningrui is a well-deserved red wine emperor in the world, and is deeply sought after and worshiped by red wine lovers all over the world. Like a believer, no one will say a bad word, and they all look pious when they mention it.
He also likes to drink red wine. Occasionally he works overtime very late, and when he returns home in the dead of night, drinking a glass of red wine can help him sleep.
"How is the Qin family doing now?" Xu Ning asked suddenly.
Qin Zhao twirled the ring on his ring finger, and said casually: "I hired four nurses to take care of me at home. The old man is already paralyzed, and the old lady is in good condition."
It's just good, but I often call to say that I miss him, but the so-called miss will always cry poorly in the end.
Qin Zhao was not irritable, and it was interesting to just watch Liang Lu perform a scene from time to time with such a cold eye.
All the money for the helpers in the Qin family's villa is paid by Qin Zhao. They just need to stay at home, and they will be given a total of 20,000 yuan a month. All food and expenses come from their own side. Account, just like that, still whining about lack of money.
He has observed that since Qin Xiang got married, although he often quarreled with her husband, the other party did not divorce Qin Xiang for his own sake. No matter how Qin Xiang cries, Qin Zhao always feels that he is really cold-hearted and will never feel distressed again.
His parents... that's all. After all, they are getting old. Qin Tianlang is in good health, but Lu Yanjun was sent to a mental hospital by him two years ago.
When Xu Ning heard this, he asked a little puzzled: "How could it be sent to such a place?"
"Naturally, he was sent there because he was sick." Qin Zhao leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, his posture elegant and calm, but revealing a touch of laziness.
"It happened suddenly two years ago. At that time, Qin Tianlang was almost killed. Later, the doctor diagnosed and treated him as bipolar disorder." Qin Zhao said with a hint of sarcasm, "I don't know exactly how it happened, but it's just a day. It’s just not smooth, I use too much mind, I have to think about everything, and I’m driving myself crazy.”
Xu Ning didn't know what Qin Zhao was really thinking, at least for her, Lu Yanjun had nothing to do with her, even if this woman was her aunt.
But Xu Ning couldn't feel any pity for such an aunt who had never been in contact with her and was even hated by the other party.
"Have you visited her?" Xu Ning asked.
Qin Zhao turned to look at her, and smiled, "Do you think I should go see her?"
"I'm not you, how do I know?" Xu Ning rolled his eyes.
Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing a little bit, hooked Xu Ning's neck, let her lean on his shoulder, "Sure enough, you are my real sister."
"Who is your real sister?" Xu Ning struggled twice without shaking Qin Zhao's strength, and then gave up.
He patted Xu Ning's shoulder lightly, and said in a steady voice: "Many people I know have told me that no matter what misunderstandings I have with Lu Yanjun or other things, I will always be her son, and now she has been sent to a mental hospital. hospital, I should go see her. To me, these people are farts. What do they know? Blood relatives can be treated indifferently, or even cut off. Isn’t that how those two old things treat aunts? Lu Yanjun is also a very scheming person. The Lu family fell down early, but somehow they left her a large dowry, so she married into the Qin family. In fact, she has no sense of security. The so-called sense of security is nothing but It is the product of my own wild thinking. I have no ability but I have to attribute it to a man, and then give birth to me to strengthen this sense of security. To put it nicely, I am her son, but in fact it is just a tool to strengthen her own. Such a woman, Why should I go to see her. If you want money, I will give it. If you want my filial piety and other things, it has long since ceased to exist."
"Are you sad?" Xu Ning asked.
"It's strange, it's not sad at all, as if I am a stranger." Qin Zhao chuckled, bent down and picked up a fruit plate on the table and stuffed it into Xu Ning's hand, "Go to my house to sleep at night? Look at your two Little nephew."
"Tomorrow night, I'll sleep here tonight, the auction... oh no, I'll go see it the day after tomorrow, there's a dinner party tomorrow night, I'm going to have a headache when I think about it, I'm too lazy to move, I'm going to see my sister-in-law and two babies the day after tomorrow, don't delay Sweet go dancing."
"It's up to you."
The brothers and sisters were chatting here, but no one with discerning eyes approached them.
Seeing two people who are close, people who don't know them will think wildly, whispering behind the back and the people around them today, and then shutting up completely after learning that these two are actually cousins.
It's a new era now, you can't get married within five clothes, half of the blood is flowing in your body, of course it's no different from your siblings, and besides, they live in a corner with a little light, so they don't hinder anyone.
The charity dinner also had domestic singers to help out. Today Xu Ning saw a lot of singers he knew. They were all popular stars in the 1980s and 1990s. He had heard almost all the songs and even hummed a few lines along with them.
Qin Zhao looked at the girl who seemed to be having a good time, holding a glass of red wine, leaning on the sofa and slowly sipping. Occasionally seeing the girl beaming like this, he would feel very happy.
He really likes this younger sister very much. From the first time he saw Xu Ning, he kept looking for the familiar shadow of his aunt in this girl, but there was none. She is not a substitute for her aunt, she is herself , Xu Ning, an ordinary but extraordinary girl.
Dare to love and hate, like to fight hard, not arrogant, not hypocritical, slender but not sensitive, enthusiastic but just right, always like a glass of warm water, whenever you meet her, you will give people a very comfortable feeling.
He didn't know that this girl would play such an important role in his life, but he was delighted by her appearance and existence, so that in his indifferent and cold-blooded life, he could have such a relative of the same age to accompany him.
After the dinner, Qin Zhao sent her to the door of the room, then turned and left.
The younger sister is very important, just as important as his wife and children. He has to go home to see the little princess and the two young masters with him.
After dragging his exhausted body to wash, Xu Ning picked up the phone and dialed the number at home, and talked stickily with his dear husband for almost half an hour before hanging up the phone with a happy smile and falling asleep.
There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so we must recharge our batteries.
In the morning, Jiang Yue ordered a breakfast, both Chinese and Western.
"You actually like western food?" Seeing Jiang Yue holding the cheese, Xu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it delicious?"
Jiang Yue hummed, "I just want to try what a western breakfast looks like, but I don't like drinking pure milk, and the eggs are not cooked. Look, Mr. Xu, the egg yolk is like this."
Qin Feng chuckled and said: "People like this. Don't you know that we also have a delicacy in our country called soft-boiled eggs? Egg yolks are runny."
"I know, it's just that I don't eat it, but I didn't expect the fried egg to be like this. It's cooked anyway." Jiang Yue didn't have the nerve to throw away the fried egg in the middle of the cheese, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and ate it Go down, drink the milk in the quilt at the end, and then pour a large glass of water, and then it's over, "I won't eat it in the future."
"I don't recommend eating it either. After all, uncooked eggs contain salmonella. It's good to eat once in a while, but eating it often is not good for your body." Xu Ning is a medical student, and she cooks fried eggs by herself when she is abroad. , Even if they go out to eat with Donna and the others, they hardly know how to eat simple.
"Then the country next door still beats raw eggs into the rice and eats them."
"Yes, that's right, and you can directly beat raw eggs into a wine glass and drink them."
Xu Ning looked at the two gangster subordinates, and helplessly raised his forehead, "Okay, our company will organize a tour at the end of the year, and I will take you to see the difference between domestic and neighboring countries' eggs."
When the two heard it, they blinked in unison.
"Traveling abroad? Publicly funded?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Ningchong rolled his eyes at the two of them, hurry up and eat, the auction will be at 9:00 in the morning.
Jiang Yue rubbed her elbow against Qin Feng, "Do you have a passport?"
"No, I have to go back and handle it. I heard it will be very soon." Qin Feng was also excited. There was no way, since he was young, he had never really traveled abroad at public expense.
Although the two of them have gone out with Xu Ning several times before, the most important thing is that they are not having fun at all because of work. Sometimes the boss asks them to go shopping, but they are in a hurry to bring something for the colleagues in the office. I was afraid that the boss would urge me to go back with a phone call.
It’s all right now, and they can go out and relax completely at the end of the year. Are they going to eat the food from the next country, or go to various hot springs?
I heard that there is a mixed bath for men and women over there, tsk tsk tsk, a little excited.
No, super excited.
After much difficulty, Xu Ning waited until the two of them had finished their breakfast chattering, then returned to their room and began to change into their "combat uniforms", and then took them to the auction house on the sixth floor.
When you came here, all the bosses who came to participate in the charity auction were queuing up. The reception staff at the door checked the invitation letter and stamped it, and then sent you a catalog of the auction items.
Xu Ning lined up to come in, took a look around, and saw that Qin Zhao was in the second row in front, she swayed to him in stiletto silver high-heeled shoes and sat down next to him.
"Mr. Xu, you are really bold this time, and you actually took out a case of Ningrui red wine for auction?" A round middle-aged man behind saw Xu Ning and greeted her with a smile.
"No way, who asked me to do this, and it's not appropriate for me to take out cosmetics." Xu Ning said to the other party with a smile, "What did Mr. Guo take out?"
As he said that, Xu Ning opened the catalog and found the lot sent by the other party. This Mr. Guo is in the jade business, so the lot must be good.
"A set of emerald ornaments, is Mr. Xu interested?"
Seeing the photo above, Xu Ning didn't know much about jade, and only knew about emeralds in her impression. After all, this name was often heard.
"This is ice-species clear water jadeite, and its value is quite good." Qin Zhao said to Xu Ning after seeing it.
Xu Ning looked at the picture, the above is a three-piece set, pendant, earrings and bracelet, the color is light and transparent, like a very light lake color, very elegant, she really likes it.
"Mr. Guo, do you have any better ones in your store? Like emeralds?" She wanted to buy a set for grandma, but the old man didn't have a set of jewelry, and now she only wears silver earrings on her ears, and there are still many It's been a year, and it's already turned black.
Mr. Guo was stunned: "The price is expensive. The quality Mr. Xu wants must be guaranteed, right? Such a good set will cost several million."
Xu Ning thought it was worth hundreds of millions. She had forgotten the current price and age. Of course, the best jadeite has a price but no market, which is understandable.
According to Mr. Guo's ability, these millions are also very good.
"Then Mr. Guo can help me take a look. I want two sets, at least not similar, so they can be distinguished."
"Violet is also very good. Xu always prepares it for the elders in the family, right? This color is also very elegant." Mr. Guo suggested.
Xu Ning nodded, "Okay, then trouble Mr. Guo, I need these two sets, and you can call me when you are ready."
"Okay, no problem." Mr. Guo didn't expect that such a distraction would lead to a deal.
He definitely won't open his mouth to Xu Ning's lion. Obviously, Mr. Qin knows a lot about this. If Xu Ning is cheated and spread, he will lose face.
In this circle, reputation is very important, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward, and he really dare not offend Xu Ning, one is because of Qin Zhao, and the other is Xie Zheng.
In business, the point of duty is not bad.
Soon, as soon as nine o'clock arrived, the auction began. Today's auctioneer is a very beautiful woman. Needless to say, to be able to do this business, she must be proficient in mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, so let me come to participate The auctioneer can pay more.
The first lot is a pair of calligraphy and painting, probably from the late Ming Dynasty, which is not considered as a master's work, but it is also very valuable for collection.
After all, if it is a genuine antique calligraphy and painting, no one is willing to sell it, at least Xu Ning has never heard of the author of this calligraphy and painting.
However, since it can appear at the auction, it means that it has been identified by experts and must be authentic.
Although not all authentic works are valuable.
The calligraphy and painting with a starting price of 100,000 yuan was finally sold for 460,000 yuan, which was a good start for the auction, and the preheating was very successful.
A total of 18 lots were auctioned in the morning, including a set of very high-quality purple clay teapots, which Xu Ning took in his hands and planned to take them home to make tea for his grandfather.
Dining at noon is still at the Tysen Group, but it is not as grand as last night. It is just concentrated in the restaurant on the first floor. You can order what you want, and the organizer will pay the bill in the end.
Of course, these big bosses with tens of millions of net worth don't care about this little money.
The price of this set of purple sand pots is very high, and Xu Ning spent more than 600,000 yuan to get it. The maker of this set of purple sand pots is Mr. Lu Mingxian, a contemporary purple sand master. He has more than 50 years of experience in purple sand pottery. The purple sand teapots made this time were all robbed by people at high prices, making it hard to find a single teapot.
Now the set of purple clay teapots in Xu Ning's hands has a total of six cups, and is certified by Mr. Lu Mingxian's autograph book. Exquisite craftsmanship, this is not a set of purple clay teapots, but handicrafts.
This set of pots is paired with their tea, which can be said to complement each other. I don’t know how the taste will be refined, so I want to try it.
The auction continued in the afternoon. Qin Zhao finally calmly raised his sign when he saw the lot in front of him.
Xu Ning smiled when he saw it. The lot in front of him was a set of gold jewelry.
"I'll take a picture, and you take it back to Auntie." Qin Zhao whispered in Xu Ning's ear.
Xu Ning nodded with a smile, "Thank you cousin."
"You're welcome."
