Chapter 76 [Drunken]

Today is Saturday, the day for the preview of the special porcelain auction in Hanhai.

I haven't been asleep for almost a night. I was listless when I ate breakfast with my parents in the morning and had no appetite. I just pulled the pickled vegetables in the small plate without chopping. Maybe my mother saw something was wrong, so she knocked on the table with a spoon, "I was so wilted early in the morning. Why? The porridge is so hot that I don't like to drink it?" My father looked at me as he heard this.

I smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I went to bed late last year and was a little sleepy."

My mother was very proud and said, "Don't buy a broken computer and don't know. Are games that fun? Read more books when you have time? Why not be better than reading more books? Let me tell you, now you eat mine and drink mine. If you don't have the ability to make money in the future, no one will support you. Humph, don't think our family is so rich. If you pay you university tuition, you will be so poor that you know?"

The father frowned: "What are you talking to the child for that?"

My mother turned his eyes blank: "You are going to do it again, can I beat my son?"

When I mentioned the word "money", I suddenly felt a little nervous and wanted to tell my parents all over my stomach, but when I moved my lips, I couldn't say anything. I still wanted to tell my mother that day that I would buy a villa and a car for her, which would allow the old couple to live a good life, but heaven and hell was so simple. In a blink of an eye, not only could the Yuan blue and white jars not be auctioned, but I still owed 500,000 yuan in liquidated damages, 500,000 yuan, that's not 350,000 yuan. Just based on my parents' meager salary, how many years would it take? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years?

Dad, mom, I'm sorry.

On the road opposite the Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing.

I looked at the preview place from afar, and felt very uncomfortable. After a quick glance, many of the people entering the hotel were famous people I had seen on TV. This was just within my sight. Many celebrities who drove there should still account for the majority. I didn’t have the nerve to call Mr. Peng to ask about the preview situation, sighed slightly, and stood alone in the sun and was still in a daze.

The preview is from 9:00 to 11:00 am and from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

An hour has passed...

Two hours have passed...

Suddenly, the sound of conversations on the opposite side attracted my attention. It was a woman who was not very good-looking, wearing expensive clothes, and carrying a diamond ring with a carat number on her right finger. "Your Chinese auction company is too irresponsible. We came for the Yuan blue and white jar, but he didn't put it on the shelves, KESO!" The last tone was very similar to the words often said in Japanese anime that I often watch in waist.

Japanese?

The handsome man who was held intimately by the woman smiled and said, "Making momentum and playing mystery, probably because he wanted to announce it on the day of the auction?" The man spoke in Mandarin, but I heard a southern accent, probably from Shanghai.

The Japanese woman with dark red hair said angrily: "Didn't you see it? More than half of the people came for Yuan blue and white, but when they asked the person in charge, why did the other party hide and refuse to answer? Look, there are no Yuan blue and white at all, otherwise, how could they not even show up during the preview?"

Her boyfriend said, "Auctions are the most important thing, they won't be fooled by this kind of joke, right? Otherwise, how can you keep going with the industry?"

"That's not necessarily the case, this kind of thing has not happened before."

"Let's watch it when the auction is tomorrow."

Through the conversation between the two, I roughly learned about the preview and felt a little more depressed.

As I expected, the impact of this matter was too bad, enough to destroy Hanhai's reputation overnight.

I was thinking that the Japanese woman and her boyfriend were passing by themselves at this moment. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my toes and looked down. A high heel was stepping on my feet without any heels. It turned out that the Japanese woman accidentally stepped on me when she flashed to the right in order to avoid a torn beggar on the left. Seeing that she didn't mean it, I frowned and said nothing.

Who would have thought that the red-haired Japanese woman covered her ankles in pain and shouted at me, "What are you looking at? You won't hide?"

I said inexplicably: "You still have any reason if you step on me, right? I stood up well, who did you suddenly come over?"

"KUZI!" The Japanese woman muttered a hatred in Japanese that I couldn't understand, and walked west with the man.

I knew she was definitely not saying good things, but at this time she was not in the mood to care about her. Finally, she looked at the Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing, turned around, walked into a small restaurant on the other side of the road, found a secluded corner next to the glass, and called the waiter, ordered a few plates of cold dishes, pondered for a while, and ordered another bottle of Beijing wine. Usually, I don’t drink wine except for going out with my college roommates to have some beer, let alone white wine.

After taking a sip, a spicy smell flowed into my throat, which was very unpalatable.

He stuffed two chopsticks into his stomach and continued to drink in big mouthfuls, hoping to temporarily forget about the Yuan blue and white pot.

I don’t drink often, and I don’t have enough alcohol. After drinking a few small cups, my head is already dizzy.

I don’t know how long it took, someone in my ear said, “Sir, our restaurant is going to close in the afternoon, are you?”

As soon as I heard this, I took out my wallet to withdraw money to him. As for how much I gave it, I didn't know. Now I am drunk, dizzy, and my steps are floating. I can't tolerate anything except the 500,000 yuan penalty for liquidated damages that are turning around.

Touching the wall of the restaurant, I found the location of the gate and pushed it away.

Huh, the hot air rushed towards me, my head was dizzy, my feet were unstable, and I felt the center of gravity shifting to the right, and I was about to fall to the ground. However, something was pressing my shoulders, as if they were both hands, and then a woman heard the voice of "How could I drink so much wine?"

Her voice sounds familiar.

I said thank you, stood firm, continued to move forward with my eyelids hanging down, and had no intention of seeing who the woman was.

"Wait a minute, how did you get home like this? Give me your phone and I'll call your family."

I ignored her and speeded up. But after walking a few steps, someone grabbed my right arm. Then, a hand reached into my pocket, as if I had touched my phone out.

"Huh? It's out of power?"
