Finally, it was Zheng Guanghui's turn. The colleague in front deliberately waved his admission ticket.
"By the way, these two guys behind me don't have admission tickets. Check them carefully!" Before entering, the colleague deliberately said loudly to the person checking at the door. As soon as the person checking heard this, his face darkened. After the colleague finished speaking, he didn't leave. Instead, he looked back at Ling Feng and Zheng Guanghui, waiting to watch the fun. The person checking looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Where are your admission tickets?"
"Didn't he tell you? I don't have an admission ticket!" Ling Feng shrugged and said.
"If you don't have an admission ticket, don't make trouble here!" The person checking had a gloomy face. If Ling Feng didn't leave, he seemed to be about to call someone to drive him away. However, Ling Feng leaned close to the other person's ear and said a sentence softly. The person's eyes widened and looked at Ling Feng as if seeing his own biological father.
"I said, Lao Zheng. You two want to sneak in like this. You don't take the ticket inspector seriously at all, do you?" The colleague fanned the flames on the side, hoping to arouse the anger of the inspector. However, what he didn't expect was that his words only got a cold look from the inspector.
"So you are Mr. Ling. I'm really sorry. Please come in quickly!"
"Mr. Zhou has already greeted us. I didn't recognize you. I'm sorry." After glaring at the colleague, the inspector turned back and smiled apologetically at Ling Feng and hurriedly invited the two of them in.
"Dad, after you!" Ling Feng stepped aside and let Zheng Guanghui go first. Zheng Guanghui didn't expect that the inspector would really let him and Ling Feng in. He was also extremely surprised.
"Sorry, I'll go in first!" Zheng Guanghui held his head high and chest out. He pushed aside the colleague blocking the door and strode in.
"They don't have admission tickets. How can they get in?" The colleague was stunned and angrily questioned the inspector.
"They are the honored guests of Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou has already greeted us earlier. Naturally, they can get in!"
"How is it possible? How could they be the honored guests of Professor Jian?"
"Do you want to go in? If not, get out. Don't block the door. There is still a long line behind." The colleague couldn't accept this reason. He couldn't figure out how Zheng Guanghui could be the honored guest of Professor Zhou. Who was Professor Zhou? He was a big shot in the antique world. Zheng Guanghui was just an insignificant little person. However, at this time, the ticket inspector had no good temper for him. Just now, because of this person's annoyance beside him, he almost offended the honored guest of Professor Zhou. Seeing the inspector get angry, the colleague could only shut up and leave. If the other party called someone to drive him out, then he would be the one who became a joke. But his hatred for Zheng Guanghui in his heart became even stronger.
"So it's because of Professor Zhou's invitation. No wonder!" Zheng Guanghui learned the reason why they could come in from Ling Feng and was even more delighted. Looking at Ling Feng, he also felt much more pleasing. Thinking of his colleague's frustrated expression just now, he felt comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Ling, you are here!" As soon as the two walked into the auction venue, Professor Zhou came over with a gentle middle-aged man. As soon as he received the news that Ling Feng had arrived, he immediately rushed to the entrance.
"Professor Zhou, you are too polite!" Ling Feng nodded. Zheng Guanghui also nodded as a greeting.
"Mr. Ling, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Minhai, the head of the provincial propaganda department!" After introducing Ling Feng, Zhou Jiangtao introduced Ling Feng to the middle-aged man.
"Minhai, this is the young friend Ling Feng that I mentioned." It could be seen that Zhou Jiangtao had a very good relationship with Zhang Minhai. As soon as Ling Feng heard Zhang Minhai's name, he couldn't help but want to laugh. It turned out that he also knew this person. He was the father of Zhang Pengpeng, the class beauty of his high school. But the other party didn't know him. However, he didn't mention the relationship with Zhang Pengpeng. He just greeted the other party calmly. After a few polite words from both sides, the auction was about to start and Zhou Jiangtao also left in a hurry. He was a specially invited appraisal master for this auction. After the auction was completed, he could appraise on the spot for people. Ding Wenyou, Zheng Guanghui's colleague, walked in and saw all this. His face turned livid and he was even more envious and jealous of Zheng Guanghui.
"The auction is about to start. Let's find a place to sit down casually!" Zhang Minhai greeted Ling Feng and Zheng Guanghui to sit down. His brows were slightly wrinkled as he was thinking about something. He had just chatted casually with Ling Feng for a few words but didn't feel anything special. He only felt that Ling Feng was not as amazing as Zhou Jiangtao had said. However, he didn't leave immediately. After all, Ling Feng was the one who discovered the Tui Bei Tu. His specific performance still needed to be seen in this auction. At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction started on time. The first auction item was a ring with python patterns engraved on it. The starting price was three hundred thousand. Everyone exclaimed. They didn't expect the first item to be such a precious thing. Soon, people scrambled to increase the price, but they only added ten or twenty thousand each time. Zheng Guanghui and Ling Feng were also discussing this ring and whether to buy it. Ding Wenyou glanced at them disdainfully. Everyone else was increasing the price, but these two were still discussing.
"Five hundred thousand!" Ding Wenyou raised his sign and said directly. While bidding, he also looked at Ling Feng and Zheng Guanghui proudly. So what if you know Professor Zhou? He can let you in, but he can't pay for you to participate in the bidding, right? Ding Wenyou was very clear about Zheng Guanghui's family background. It was far inferior to his. The reason why he was so eager to bid was on one hand because he saw that this ring was a good thing. On the other hand, it was also to make a strong start and show off to Zheng Guanghui and Ling Feng.
"Dad, this thing is good. As long as it's bought within one million, the profit will definitely double!" Ling Feng saw Ding Wenyou's intention and smiled faintly. Then he said to Zheng Guanghui. When Zheng Guanghui heard this, he immediately became energetic. He couldn't afford more money, but he could afford one million.
"Six hundred thousand!" Zheng Guanghui immediately added one hundred thousand and outbid Ding Wenyou. Ding Wenyou was sitting very close and also heard Ling Feng's words. Immediately, he was delighted. When Professor Zhou was talking to Ling Feng and others earlier, he had heard everything. Since Professor Zhou highly praised Ling Feng like this, Ling Feng must know a lot about antiques. Thinking of this, he immediately felt that this ring was definitely as Ling Feng said. If bought within one million, the profit would double. With Zheng Guanghui's family background, how could he compete with me? Thinking of this, Ding Wenyou sneered and continued to increase the price. Zheng Guanghui was also not to be outdone. The two of them went back and forth. Soon, the price was raised to nine hundred thousand. Ding Wenyou smiled and continued to increase the price.
"Ninety-eight thousand!"
