Chapter 344: Being Scorned
Six forty in the evening! In Shanghai, in front of Christie’s auction company, a black Mercedes-Benz car stopped.
The car door opened, and after getting out of the car, Chu Tian looked around first, then Li Sisi took his arm and walked in together.
“Hello, both of you. How can I help you?”
In the hall of Christie’s auction company, just as Chu Tian and Li Sisi entered, a waitress walked over with a smile.
“Oh.” Chu Tian said, “We are here to participate in tonight’s auction. Where is this auction hall?”
“It’s on the third floor.” The waitress smiled and pointed in the direction, saying, “There is an elevator over there, you two can take the elevator, or you can take the stairs next to it. After going up to the third floor, turn left, and you will see the auction hall.”
Chu Tian nodded, smiled at the waitress, and then walked over with Li Sisi.
“Sister.” Chu Tian said, “Did we come to the wrong place? Isn’t it a quarterly auction tonight, or is it a large-scale auction? Why don’t we see anyone?”
“The place is right.” Li Sisi held Chu Tian’s arm and said, “I guess we came a little late. It will start in less than 20 minutes. Others should have already entered the venue.”
Chu Tian nodded, looked at the elevator that happened to stop on the first floor, pressed the button, and then walked in with Li Sisi.
On the third floor of Christie’s auction company, Chu Tian and Li Sisi stepped out of the elevator. They turned left and walked for more than ten meters before coming to a hall.
A gate entrance with three big characters ‘Auction Hall’ written on it.
At the entrance of the auction hall, there stood a man dressed in a suit and tie. Beside him were two security guards.
Seeing Chu Tian and Li Sisi coming over, the man smiled and said, “Good evening, both of you. Are you here to participate in tonight’s auction too?”
“Yes.” Li Sisi said, “The number is BL5537.”
“Wait a minute.” The man opened a booklet, looked it up, looked at Li Sisi, and said, “Miss Li?”
Li Sisi nodded.
“Come with me, both of you.”
The man smiled, gestured to reach out, and then walked in with Chu Tian and Li Sisi.
When he got to the auction hall, Chu Tian realized that he was a little late because the hall was almost full of people. At a glance, there were at least five or six hundred people.
After the man led Li Sisi and Chu Tian to the two vacant seats in the third row, he handed them a bidding card and a booklet and said with a smile, “I wish you two could take pictures of your favorite things tonight.”
After speaking, the man turned around and left the auction hall.
Chu Tian and Li Sisi sat down. They flipped through the booklet in their hands twice when suddenly, as if they had discovered something, they couldn’t help turning their heads to look around.
Sitting next to Chu Tian was a woman in her early twenties. She was pretty good-looking, and her clothes were fashionable and sexy.
This woman was looking at Chu Tian from time to time and then whispered a few words into the ear of a man in his thirties beside her.
Although Chu Tian couldn’t hear what the two of them were talking about, from the occasional laughter of the two of them, Chu Tian could feel that they were not chatting about something good.
Chu Tian looked at Li Sisi, who was beside him, and said in a low voice, “Sister, don’t I look a little out of fashion with my clothes?”
Um?
Li Sisi looked at Chu Tian, then glanced at the two people next to him and said with a smile, “Why are you being looked down upon?”
After all, Li Sisi’s EQ (Emotional intelligence) was not blown out. Hearing Chu Tian’s question, he probably guessed it.
“I don’t know what the two idiots are laughing at.” Chu Tian said quietly, “My intuition tells me that I seem to be being laughed at by these two idiots.”
Li Sisi snorted, covered her mouth with a smile, and said, “I told you I’ll get you some nicer clothes. People are making fun of us.”
“I’m really not up to standard?” Chu Tian said.
“It seems a bit poor.” Li Sisi smiled and said in a low voice, “Only these sneakers are more expensive than your whole body. Anyway, in today’s auction, it’s quite… average.”
Chu Tian looked around and said, “They all wear big brands?”
“There are no poorly dressed ones.” Li Sisi said, “Anyway, looking at it along the way, they are basically wearing brands.”
Chu Tian nodded in understanding and said, “Well, it seems that I also have to get dressed. This is my first visit to Shanghai, and I didn’t expect to be scorned by two idiots.”
Li Sisi giggled, pursed her lips, and said, “Don’t talk to them, they don’t look like rich people at first glance, and wealthy people have connotations and self-cultivation, so they don’t judge a person based on what they wear. Judge whether a person has money.”
“Only those who have a little money, who say they are poor or rich, will judge a person based on their clothes.”
Chu Tian nodded as if thinking of something and said with a smirk: “Then let them have some blood tonight. Don’t they think they are rich? Then pull the two of them out for a while and let me give them a glimpse of the world.”
