Chapter 356 - 356 An Impressive Character!
356 An Impressive Character!
The old drama fan was far happier to find a young drama fan than to get a gold bracelet.
“I… I often listen to operas with my grandmother. I don’t know much, but I hum a few words.” Tang Jin was busy trying to make up the white lie. She would expose herself if he asked any further.
“I see. Young people nowadays rarely like opera.” The old opera fan laughed and was a little disappointed.
“Then can you accept this bracelet first?” Tang Jin’s dark eyes were filled with a pure light as she said sincerely, “I’ll ask you for it back after I become a qualified movie fan. Can you help me keep it first?”
She was actually looking for a good reason for the old man to accept it even though she said that he was helping to keep it.
Her tone was almost pleading. The old opera fan felt that it would be too unreasonable if he did not accept it.
“But this is what you bought…” The old man’s rationality was making a final struggle.
“I hope to have the motivation to understand traditional culture and Teacher Zuo Nian! Grandpa, I won’t disappoint you!”
As she spoke, Tang Jin stuffed the box into the hands of the old drama fan and ran back to the venue.
“Grandpa, this is a little request from this junior.” Xiaochun hurriedly finished her sentence. “Please don’t mind!”
The old opera fan watched the two of them leave one after another, still unable to react.
After so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a gift. It was really rare.
At this moment, two people in black clothes, black pants, and black gla.s.ses walked in from the other side of the corridor. They bowed deeply to the opera fan, “Elder Qiu, we’re here to pick you up.”
The bodyguard wanted to take the wooden box from Old Qiu’s hand, but the old man dodged and threw the walking stick at him.
The disappointed old man who didn’t manage to get his idol’s golden bracelet didn’t bend his back anymore. Instead, he became a cool old man with a strong aura.
“I’ll take this myself. It’s a gift from the younger generation.” The old man laughed heartily and couldn’t bear to part with it.
Seeing that the host was in a good mood, the bodyguard smiled and said, “Young Master just heard that you were unhappy at the auction and hurriedly asked us to pick you up. From the looks of it, you seem to be in a good mood.”
“Of course, I met an interesting girl.” Old Qiu slapped his forehead and said in realization, “Aiya, I forgot to ask her name.”
The two bodyguards were about to ask when Old Qiu raised his hand and stopped them. “Forget it. We’ll get it after a little investigation. Let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
The bodyguard followed behind Old Qiu and left the venue unhurriedly.
Elder Qiu was in a good mood. He hummed a tune as he walked, and his voice gradually faded away.
By the fire escape, Ottilia stuck her head out and looked around. After confirming that no one was around, she pinched her skirt and walked out carefully.
“D*mmit.” Ottilia bit her fingernails.
She had been completely fooled!
Even though she didn’t know Elder Qiu’s exact ident.i.ty, no matter how she looked at it, he had an impressive background.
If she had known that the Innovative Artist Company had such a plan, she would have instigated Supervisor Kou to buy the item. This way, she would have left a good impression on Elder Qiu!
Maybe she would become her sugar daddy too.
She hurriedly ran back to the auction house and almost stepped on her skirt several times.
Ottilia was anxious and angry. She was panting when she sat down, and her tube dress was askew, revealing her flesh-colored inner lining.
“Look at how worthless you are. Fix your dress!” Kou Zhiyuan scolded in a low voice, feeling embarra.s.sed.
Ottilia did so and suppressed her voice as she recounted what she had seen.
“You mean Elder Qiu?” Kou Zhiyuan’s expression changed drastically. “Is it that Elder Qiu?”
He clearly remembered that in the last century, there was a gambling king named Qiu. The reason he became the gambling king was because as long as it was a legal place to gamble, there would be casinos opened by him. As for some unlawful places, there was no need to mention them.
It was said that in the last century, when the average salary was dozens of yuan, the gambling king had more than ten million yuan in a.s.sets.
However, the Gambling King retired at the peak of his career. It was said that he kept a low profile because someone in his family was in politics. Only his legend was left in the martial arts world, and very few people knew what he looked like.
Could it be that the legendary figure had personally appeared at this small auction?
He had unintentionally offended such a big shot!
“Supervisor Kou, what should we do now?” Ottilia was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
It could be seen that Elder Qiu really liked the golden bracelet, and Kou Zhiyuan, who had partic.i.p.ated in the malicious bidding, must have left a bad impression on him. If they met again in the future, they would not even be able to say a word.
Ottilia did not want her acting career to be ruined by such a boring matter.
“Calm… calm down.” Kou Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva and comforted himself with a stammer. “It’s alright, it’s alright. There are too few opportunities to b.u.mp into each other. Just be careful in the future. The big shots are all… magnanimous. They won’t hold a grudge over such a small matter! Be careful in the future!”
He squeezed out the last few words fiercely, as if he was warning Ottilia, but also as if he was talking about himself.
The two of them weren’t loud, but since they were in an open s.p.a.ce, there was no wall that didn’t let in the wind.
Chairman Xiong’s eyes widened when he heard the news.
This was too explosive!
He turned to look at Luo Feng.
At this moment, Luo Feng was praising Tang Jin and Xiao Chun for their good performance. He said that he would ask for a few refreshments to pack for them later. The two girls were happy and did not have the slightest nervousness from meeting a big shot.
Chairman Xiong swallowed his words.
It was good not to know, because it would be more interesting.
Chairman Xiong waited to watch a good show. He could not help but sigh at Luo Feng’s good luck. He had actually interacted with Elder Qiu by chance. Moreover, his words were beautiful and flawless. No matter what, Elder Qiu would remember today’s relationship in the future.
With the help of a big shot, one could soar into the sky!
“Could it be that this kid knew all along?” Chairman Xiong pondered for a moment and rejected this idea.
He knew very well that Luo Feng treated everyone like this. The bidding was just an accident. He had no intention of s.n.a.t.c.hing someone else’s love.
Even if an ordinary old man wanted to buy this bracelet today, Luo Feng would give it to him with both hands. Perhaps he wouldn’t even change his reason.
All living beings seemed to be equal in front of this young man.
Chairman Xiong could not help but feel touched. This young man was limitless! In the future, he had to get closer to Luo Feng and earn money together!
“Chairman Luo, don’t be happy. We’re bidding for the fourth item.” Chairman Xiong became very enthusiastic. “But I think you’re not interested in the commemorative gown. Let me introduce you to the big shots present.”
“Ah? Yes, thank you, Chairman Xiong.” Luo Feng did not understand why he felt that Chairman Xiong had suddenly become clingy.
He looked in the direction that Chairman Xiong indicated and heard him say, “That person will be of great help if he partic.i.p.ates in the investment.”
