Chapter Chapter181 Low Behavior
The specification of this auction in Center Building was very high. The celebrities who came there were served with a box each, in which the electronic screen could show the items in an all-round way. In the box, the waiter would get tea and refreshments for them.
Sitting on the sofa, Jenny looked at Luke and found that he was not really uninterested with the items as he told her at the door because he was looking at the models attentively.
A while after the waiter came out, Jenny couldn't sit quietly and moved around with models in the 5D screen. She murmured,
"The ancient people made such realistic handicrafts. It seems strange to use jade to carve a Chinese cabbage, rather than something else, like hamburgers, fried chicken, beers or roast duck..." "Do you like these food?" Luke cast a glance at her.
"No..." She waved her hand, but her stomach rumbled unexpectedly. She looked at Luke awkwardly. "Maybe I just drank too much water."
She was forced to drink a large bowl of miscarriage prevention soup by grandmother before she went out at noon. Although it didn't taste bad, she felt as if she had drunk a lot of pure water and was uncomfortable after drinking it.
Luke pressed the button to call in the waiter. "Serve us some food."
"We have various kinds of western food, like French cuisine, and Japanese cuisine. Which would you like to eat, boss Lu?
Luke had a look at Jenny and said, "Ask her."
The waiter looked at Jenny waiting for her instruction.
With a hesitation for a while, Jenny asked, "Do you have fried chicken?"
Since she had just had lunch, she had no interest in western food at all.
"I'm sorry, er..." The waiter was in a pickle.
Nobody else had ever ordered fried chicken here, which was not served by the kitchen. Center Building was an antique club in Xicheng, where not too much oil and smoke existed for the preservation of antiques. Therefore, people often ate lighter western food.
"No?" Jenny was a little disappointed, "Then forget it..."
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief.
"We could serve you with some desserts, like..."
Before the waiter finished his words, Luke had a glance at him.
"Haven't you heard the words of my wife? No need, except fried chicken." "But, Mr. Lu..."
"Ask your manager to come here."
Hearing the words, the face of the waiter changed pale all at once.
Jenny waved her hand hurriedly. "Never mind. I'm not very hungry."
Only did she know that Luke was about to give instruction to the manager directly since such a waiter didn't have the right to serve with anything more, while the waiter thought that the customer wanted to make a complaint.
"Really? But I want to eat it." Luke saw her.
Ten minutes later, the manager of Center Building hurried to be here. Without nonsense, he sent a waiter to buy fried chicken outside and asked what else more did Jenny need.
Before the waiter went back to the box with fried chicken, hamburgers and hot and sour rice noodles, he had run into Sky, who was going to the toilet from the next-door box. Suddenly, the soup of hot and sour rice noodles spilled out of the take-out box and spattered on the expensive formal dress of Sky.
The waiter was frightened and apologized hurriedly. He couldn't afford the dress even with his one-month wage.
Sky exclaimed and took a step back at once. She gathered up her dress's hemline with a frown and looked bad as she lowered her head. However, at the moment when she lifted her eyes, she just frowned slightly.
"It's OK. I shall change one."
"You..." the waiter looked at Sky unbelievably, "You don't need my compensation?"
"Nothing. It will be clean after being washed. What's that?" The pungent smell had drawn her attention just now, so she looked at the stuff in the waiter's hand with a frown.
"What are you holding in your hand? What an unpleasant smell!"
The waiter answered with a woeful look, "Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu want to eat hamburgers and fried chicken, ah, hot and sour rice noodles as well. Thus I bought these outside just now." "Really?" Sky couldn't believe what she had just heard. "You said Mr. Lu wanted to eat these?"
"I shall bring these to them first, since they are waiting. Miss Song, I would bring you to get changed after I send these to them. Wait for a moment, please."
Seeing the waiter hurried to the box, Sky frowned tightly.
"Mr. Lu wanted to eat these? Nonsense! It must be the bitch! Doesn't she feel ashamed to eat such rubbishes in this noble place? Wasn't she afraid to lose Luke's face?"
At this thought, her face became livid and her legs were trembling in the pair of high-heeled shoes.
After a while, as the waiter went out hastily, he felt worried seeing Sky's livid face and called her with great care, "Miss Song, shall we go to change your dress?"
Distracted for a second, she showed her signature smile and answered softly, as if she wasn't the person whose face was livid.
"Fine. Thank you."
The first item in the auction was a Tang tri-color glazed horse, whose price was very high. Luke only saw the exhibition stand with appreciative attitude. He wasn't going to buy it because he was not interested in and so was Jenny, who was satisfied with hot and sour rice noodles and didn't show any interest to the auction.
She had rightly finished eating when the gold-plated green jade ring came into her eyes. As the model on the exhibition stand ran to all angles slowly, a jade ring with gold sheen appeared, which foiled a splendid atmosphere.
It was really beautiful, no wonder boss Bao would buy it for his wife just now.
"Gold-plated green jade ring was made by Moss Gu, a jade carving master in Song dynasty. It was made by high-quality Lantian jade and twined by golden yamamal silk, which means forever love without separation. However, when Mr. Gu finished his product, his wife had died in war. Then the ring also disappeared in war and it was said that Mr. Gu had given the ring to his daughter to keep. After generations of transaction, it appears in our auction. Its starting price is two hundred thousand yuan and the adding price should be no less than fifty thousand yuan."
With resonant voice and perfect articulate, the host drew people's attention by fascinating love stories.
Compared to the items before, the starting price of two hundred thousand yuan was only a drop in the bucket. However, many people came here just for the ring.
According to the electronic screen, a dozen people had bid, with five hundred thousand yuan as the highest price. The lower ones died away, except the five hundred thousand yuan flickering on the screen. Luke cast a glance at Jenny and said tonelessly, "Bid."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
