Jason, held by Selina's hand, walked into the reception hall.
Due to the delay in the security check of Selina, by the time Daniel led the two men into the hall, most of the people had already sat down. After asking for Jason's advice, Daniel led him to the back of the fountain and sat down, and then bade farewell and left.
There was an auction list on the table, red wine, champagne, and some snacks. However, except for wine, everything else was decorated. Jason, like everyone else, just looked away at a glance.
"The Horse Club treats the diamond members really differently. I heard that these ingredients were delivered from abroad at the first time. Each table is worth more than tens of thousands of dollars, but unfortunately... these things are about to be poured into the trash can." Selina said with some regret.
"If Miss Hong likes it, you can taste it. Don't worry about me," Jason said with a smile.
Selina smiled. As a star, of course, she would not do some rude things in such a top social occasion.
"However, the light here is so dim. Will the horse be worried that someone will take the good things away? Will that person become a target for the public?" Selina looked around and couldn't help saying.
As for the lights of the auction, Jason noticed it as soon as he entered the door.
In the large banquet hall, only a few spotlights on top of the head projected a faint colored light on the seats. The light was very dim, and the organizers deliberately separated the distance between each position. There was no such a crowded scene as before in the rich hotel, so there was a certain distance between them.
"Maybe it's to protect the safety of the guests. After all, these rich bosses don't have such a good temper. If they appear in the hotel just now, the kind of auction fight for the same item will change from a bid to a personal attack, it's not very good."
Jason looked at the guests who were close to his female companion in the surrounding seats, so he could only say so.
He also didn't believe that Selina couldn't see through the organizers' intention of doing this. He just deliberately led himself to say the words that she wanted to hear.
"Mr. Xia, this is your bidding machine. When your favorite item appears, you only need to press this red button to indicate that you want to bid once. As for how much you want to bid, it all depends on your original intention."
When Daniel appeared again, he handed a white remote control in his hand to Jason, but there were only two buttons on it. In the red column, the red one was called the price, and the blue one was called Daniel to serve him whenever he needed it.
"The horse- riding meeting is about to begin. I wish Mr. Xia and Miss Hong a wonderful night."
Daniel watched Selina sitting next to Jason, then turned around and left with a smile.
A pleasant night?
Jason was stunned.
At this moment, Jason only felt that everything went dark. Suddenly, the dim lights in the hall suddenly went out, and it was dark!
"Hmm?"
All the people present exclaimed in surprise. But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly came down from the top of their heads and shone in front of the seat, right in the middle of the stage.
At the same time, everyone heard a dull and rhythmic drum.
The host, who had appeared in the hotel before, strode to the stage, stood in the center of the spotlight, and showed himself in front of everyone.
"Everyone, you didn't expect us to see each other again, did you?"
The host was still humorous as usual. After a few jokes, he raised his hand to look at the time and said with a smile, "Three minutes ago, our rich boat had left Gavila and officially entered the high seas..."
"I'm sure everyone has already learned the theme of tonight's banquet from the list on the table..."
"Then, let's continue with the auction!"
"The items auctioned here tonight are all very valuable. It can be said that we don't even know the price of these rare treasures in the hotel. Similarly, we also want to thank Mr. Dan, because all these treasures are donated by Mr. Zhao himself and will be auctioned together!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't talk too much. Now, please show us the first auction item tonight. It's also a treasure from the history of China. It was used by Kangxi for the first time, and it's also the first real combination of Chinese and Western in the history of China. It's a piece of artwork made by him. He likes the friends of cultural relics at this period. We can prepare for the auction!"
"Why is she still keeping me guessing?"
Jason frowned. He had looked at the auction list, but he didn't know if the order of auction tonight was in accordance with the order of the list. If it was, the Tang Dynasty copy of the Goddess's History, which he wanted, was placed at the last one. It would take a long time for it to be the turn.
