52: Chapter 52 Auction (1) 52: Chapter 52 Auction (1) The crowd at the auction house saw Bai Yiming and reflexively glanced at the woman by his side.
Wow, Young Master Bai’s taste has lightened up today!
But this time, the woman is indeed a rare gem!
“Young Master Bai, it’s been a while since we last saw you!” The tobacco company’s Boss Chen saw this important figure and hurriedly came forward to say hello.
If he could serve Young Master Bai well, then his good days were ahead.
Bai Yiming didn’t speak, but simply smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Bai Yiming didn’t reject him, Boss Chen’s eyes lit up.
Seeing Boss Chen not getting the cold shoulder, everyone around became eager.
Young Master Bai was in a good mood today, so they could also get a chance to make an impression!
An Yiqing observed everyone’s expressions and slightly lowered her gaze.
She was well aware of the ways of the business world.
Although Bai Yiming was flirtatious, he didn’t lack the proper demeanor.
This man might seem frivolous, but he was also a strategist behind the scenes.
“What are you thinking about, little girl?
Let’s go in,” Bai Yiming saw An Yiqing in a daze and nudged her with his elbow, signaling her to enter the venue on his arm.
An Yiqing certainly knew what Bai Yiming meant, but knowing was one thing; she wasn’t accustomed to physical contact with the opposite sex, let alone a man who reeked of women’s fragrance, which she disliked even more.
Bai, I’m not very comfortable with physical contact with the opposite sex.
Your usual tactics with other women can be spared for me.”
Boss Chen beside them took a cold breath.
Hiss!—Who is this girl?
To reject Bai Yiming so boldly!
Absolutely ignorant of the ways of the world!
Boss Chen looked on with a bit of regret.
The girl was good, but it was a pity she had offended Young Master Bai.
However, to his greater surprise, Bai Yiming was not only not angry but even chuckled apologetically.
“Okay, okay, it’s my fault.
How dare I compare you with those women?” Bai Yiming’s red lips curled up, his bewitching black eyes shining with charm, full of helplessness in his gaze, “You’re sharp-tongued, little girl!
Let’s go!” He then patted An Yiqing’s shoulder and led her into the entrance of the auction house.
An Yiqing didn’t say anything after hearing this, but her opinion of Bai Yiming had changed quite a bit.
Hmm, this person wasn’t so unreliable after all.
The two walked side by side into the Huifeng Auction, and although Boss Chen appeared calm, he was quite astonished.
He had to pay close attention to this girl; for Bai Yiming to treat her in such a way, her identity must be extraordinary.
Entering the hall of the Huifeng Auction, the first thing that caught An Yiqing’s eyes was the lush red carpet.
The hall was dominated by red, different from the luxurious decorations style of many auction houses, Huifeng Auction House favored an antique theme.
Antique vases, famous calligraphy and paintings were everywhere, with a red carpet embroidered with subtle patterns underfoot that felt soft and comfortable.
The seating was arranged in a fan shape, with imported leather sofas that were stylish and comfortable to the touch.
Since it wasn’t starting time yet, only the auctioneer was preparing on the central stage in the hall.
By this time, quite a few people had already taken their seats, but the front two rows were still fairly empty.
As soon as Bai Yiming entered, all eyes in the room instantly focused on him.
And when they saw An Yiqing by his side, the men’s eyes were filled with amazement.
They had seen many beautiful women, but one as ethereally beautiful as this girl, only she stood before them.
Where had Young Master Bai found such a treasure?
Some of the socialites and rich young ladies present were not so pleased.
Not only did this woman attract all the men’s attention upon entering, but what made them even more upset was that the person who brought her was Bai Yiming.
Although they were aware of Bai Yiming’s flirtatious nature, his admirers could hardly tolerate such a remarkable woman appearing by his side.
People in the venue had different thoughts, but Bai Yiming didn’t care, nor did An Yiqing pay any heed.
They found seats in the first row and sat down.
The staff attentively offered them two beautifully crafted catalogues, containing all the treasures to be auctioned today.
