Stella also reported the good news to Douglas, who was still at Shangri-La, via video chat.
Douglas, who was furious because of the rules and regulations of the hotel.
Has suddenly enlightened after learning this news and said excitedly,
“Great Stella! It seems that your efforts in Aurous Hill during this period have not been in vain!”
“That Master Wade must be the mastermind behind the entire auction!”
Stella nodded, looked at Douglas in the video, smiled, and said comfortingly,
“Grandpa, you will have to put up with it for a while in these two days,”
“As soon as the auction is over, no matter what the result is,”
“I will immediately bring you to this hotel where I am staying,”
“I have already prepared a room for you.”
“Good!” Douglas said gratefully, “You are still the most careful and secure!”
Stella added: “Grandpa, on the day of the auction,”
“I will come over to the VIP box, so I won’t meet with you then.
“Okay!” Douglas said smilingly, “I hope I can win!”
Stella said without thinking, “Grandpa, don’t worry, you will!”
Douglas, who was at Shangri-La, hung up the phone with a smile of relief on his face and said to Karl,
“Master Yuan, this girl is really a great talent!”
“So many people are trying to find the master behind the Rejuvenation Pill,”
“But she is the only one who succeeded, I am really impressed.”
Karl nodded and said, “Miss Stella is gifted and has extraordinary vigor,”
“She will become a great talent in the future!”
Douglas nodded slightly, then said with some emotion, “If Stella were a boy,”
“It would definitely be a great fortune for the Fei family, but unfortunately …… unfortunately!”
Karl wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment or gave up.
Although he also felt that Stella is now the most promising descendant of the Fei family,”
“But such words, he felt it was not appropriate to say in front of Douglas.
After all, he knew that he was only Douglas’s personal bodyguard.
All his duties were only to protect him and ensure his safety.
And it was not suitable for him to comment much on the Fei family’s affairs.
Besides, the interior of the Fei family seems to be calm, but in fact, there are already dark currents.
And Karl will have to return to his division soon, so he does not want to wade through this muddy water.
When Douglas saw that Karl wanted to say something but stopped.
He understood Karl’s attitude and felt a little disappointed in his heart for a while.
He hoped that Karl could become his beloved, though loyal to him.
But always unwilling to be too friendly with him.
Which also makes his heart inevitably surge with a sense of loneliness.
But he does not blame Karl.
Because Karl himself is such a person, the boundary sense in his consciousness has been very clear.
Only such a person can always remain absolutely calm.
And only such a person, to the maximum extent possible, can help the superior avoid making mistakes.
So, he sighed and said softly: “I want to live more years, on the one hand, I am afraid of death,”
“On the other hand, I also hope to accompany Stella for a few more years,”
“If I can help her on the horse, it is the best, if not, at least let her feather have a little more,”
“Because if I leave, she will definitely become the target of the Fei family,”
“If not able to drive her out of the Fei family, many people will not be able to sleep and eat.”
Karl said indifferently, “Elder Fei need not be so sentimental if this trip to Aurous Hill can be fulfilled,”
“Your life expectancy will continue for at least another ten years.”
“Yes.” Douglas nodded and said, “If I could be given another ten years,”
“M”
“any things would have been settled.”
……
Two days later in Aurous Hill, everything was no different from usual.
Due to Charlie’s strong arrangement, the arrival of those more than two hundred top tycoons did not make the ordinary citizens of Aurous Hill feel any change in the city.
Except for the fact that the airports in several surrounding cities were all full of parking spaces.
If not for Charlie’s strong demand that this group of people must comply with all regulations.
Then the group of people will make the traffic in Aurous Hill miserable just by bringing their own motorcades and bodyguards.
Today, the Rejuvenation Pill auction was about to officially begin.
These top tycoons who came to attend the auction were all a little impatient.
They had spent two days under house arrest at Shangri-La and had pressed their stomachs to wait for the auction to officially kick-off.
At 12:00 noon, the staff began to send written notices to all participants.
The notice informed them that the hotel staff would deliver meals to all participants’ rooms at 6 p.m.
All participants must finish their meals within half an hour, and then change into the uniform provided by the hotel.
Then together with their escorts, go to the entrance of the hotel ballroom in an orderly manner, and line up for security check.
In addition, all participants are not allowed to carry any communication devices.
Video recording devices, or any non-essential metal products.
If they have dental implants, heart stents, cochlear implants, or artificial pacemakers.
Then they must clearly inform the security personnel and will be arranged to go through a special security channel.
Any attendees who bring in contraband will be immediately confiscated and expelled from Shangri-La upon discovery.
In addition to being banned for life from participating in subsequent auctions of the Elixir.
Such stringent security checks have far exceeded the requirements of civil aviation security.
However, none of these tycoons dared to challenge the organizer’s pressure.
Because they know very well in their hearts, such things as the Rejuvenation Pill.
Which must be taken on the spot when it is auctioned.
This article alone completely eliminates the possibility of the Rejuvenation Pill circulating outside the venue.
Therefore, even if one is rich, one must attend the auction on the spot if one wants to get the Pill.
Once he was banned from the auction, it was a sign that he would have no connection with the Rejuvenation Pill in his life.
Therefore, every rich person, male or female, left all his or her cell phones and jewelry in the room before preparing to leave the room.
Some women who attended the auction even took off the silver pins that kept their ears pierced.
Fearing that they might get themselves into trouble when they passed through the metal detection door.
Douglas is also the same, both hands empty nothing with him.
Only he still has a pacemaker in his body, so when he gets to the entrance of the banquet hall, he has to go through a special security channel.
And it is said that there will be an ultrasound doctor on-site to check the condition of the pacemaker.
And after making sure there are no other problems, he can be released without any delays.
The time came to 6:30.
The hotel sounded a radio alert: “All participants of the auction are requested to wear uniform clothing,”
“Leave the room in an orderly manner, and proceed to the banquet hall,”
“and should avoid stopping, laughing, and making noise,”
“And avoid mingling in the middle of the meeting.”
When Douglas in the room heard the announcement, he no longer had the same indignation and hostility as before.
But looked at Karl sitting across from him and said with a smile,
“Master Yuan, you and I have waited for two days like a prisoner, finally we have waited for this moment!”
The opposite Karl, who had also changed into the unified clothing without code, looked at Douglas, nodded and smiled, and said blandly,
“Elder Fei, I wish you in advance to get what you want tonight!”
Douglas smiled confidently at his words and said with an arch of his hand,
“I’ll take Mr. Yuan’s good advice tonight!”
After saying that, he stood up holding the sofa, Karl on the side hurriedly went forward to assist, the two left the hotel room together.
Out of the room, the surrounding rooms are also out of people one after another.
These people are a mix of eastern and western faces, plus everyone is wearing the same clothes.
It is really difficult to identify the appearance.
Douglas expected to meet a few familiar faces, but to his surprise, almost all of them were unfamiliar faces on his floor.
One by one, the people came to the elevator hall.
Only to see two security guards standing at the entrance of the elevator hall.
These two people directly expressionlessly said,
“The elevator is out of service, everyone please take the stairs.”
There are eight passenger elevators in the hotel, but the crowd was required to take the stairs to go down, which made everyone a little dissatisfied.
Some of them wanted to protest, but when they opened their mouths, they were rebuked by the security guards:
“Please be disciplined! Those who protest will be recorded once.
We will remember your numbers, being recorded once,”
“If any item is successfully auctioned at the auction,”
“An additional 20% penalty will be charged on top of the sale price,”
“Being recorded twice, he will be directly deprived of the right to participate in this auction.”
As soon as the crowd heard this, they had the sense to shut their mouths.
Although these people are usually high and mighty top tycoons.
With extraordinary status and power in the world.
But coming here, they are no different from prisoners.
In other words, Charlie had gathered them here so that they could learn how to be grandchildren.
Here, they are the most humble, even a security guard can call on them.
Although there are eight elevators here, they are just not given to them to use.
This is because this will allow them all to keep a path, neatly and uniformly on foot to the banquet hall.
So that these rich people can experience the feeling of being released from jail.
And at this moment the entrance to the banquet hall has been like the airport security, set up four security channels.
Each security channel is equipped with metal detection doors, as well as a number of security personnel.
There is a special security channel, but also with a number of doctors and multiple medical monitoring equipment.
In addition, there are a number of security personnel wearing camouflage uniforms.
Each tall and broad, hands behind their backs, meticulously standing on both sides of the security check entrance, full of prestige.
When these tycoons saw this situation, they all felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Only, they could not figure out where the source of this oppressive feeling was.
Not knowing whether it originated from these clean security instruments.
Or these security personnel with majestic faces, or the overall atmosphere brought them a combination of these senses.
But as soon as Karl arrived, he immediately realized the main source of this oppressive feeling.
Because he found a hidden situation that shocked him: all the security personnel here, without exception, are all martial arts experts!
There are forty to fifty martial arts experts here, moreover.
The worst among them is a three-star martial artist, the highest, there are even multiple five-star martial artists!
Although Karl himself is already a seven-star martial artist.
However, he knows very well that martial artists who exceed three stars are actually very rare.
Thousands of his own division’s disciples, not even ten of them could really reach three-star martial artist status.
And those who can really reach the five-star martial artist, counting himself,
Counting the master and the missing Tony, a total of only a few people.
But here are just some security personnel, whose overall strength,
Already exceeds that of his own division, which indeed makes Karl shocked.
When Douglas saw that his figure was a bit sluggish, and turned his face to see that his expression was also a bit dull.
He lowered his voice and asked, “Master Yuan, what’s wrong with you?”
Karl came back to his senses and said in the same low voice:
“Elder Fei, the security personnel here, without exception, are all martial arts masters ……”
“What?” Douglas exclaimed, “The security personnel here are at least dozens of people, all martial arts masters?!”
“Yes!” Karl nodded and said with certainty, “And the worst strength is also a three-star martial artist!”
Douglas was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but murmur,
“How can there be so many martial arts masters in a small Aurous Hill ……”
“Didn’t they say that there weren’t many martial arts masters in the country long ago?!”
Karl said in a low voice: “I don’t know …… In that case,”
“It seems that the boss behind this auction must be a person with a lot of hands and eyes!”
At this time, an angry shout came: “035! What are you muttering with the people around you?”
“This time, you are verbally warned, and then cross your ears once more to record a big fault!”
Douglas knew that 035 was his code name, and when he heard this.
He shivered in fear and hastily shut his mouth with good sense.
Although he was very rich, but he did not dare to be marked down once at such a time. The reason is
Because once the big record is put in his name, well later in the auction in case the Rejuvenation pills is his,
Hee will have to pay an additional 20% penalty.
Maybe this one will go out and spend extra billions, tens of billions, and still in dollars!
Originally, there were still some people in the crowd whispering.
But after such a roar, everyone else was silent and did not dare to make any more noise.
According to the arrangement of the process, the two hundred tycoons participating in the auction and their entourage were the first to begin security checks.
The other ten alternates, on the other hand, were placed behind.
As for the previous three VIPs, they were arranged to go through the security check after everyone had entered.
Therefore, at the moment, Zhongquan, Qinghua, and the Old Nordic Queen were all waiting for further notice in their respective rooms in the administration building.
Charlie especially went to see his grandfather Zhongquan.
The old man who was a bit exuberant at this time and was very excited about the upcoming auction.
On the one hand, he also wanted to see if he had a chance to compete for the Rejuvenation Pill.
On the other hand, he knew that all these people who came today were rich or noble, and he was able to attend as a VIP this time.
And this aspect of his face was already dead in his hands.
Zhongquan, who was in a good mood, was even happier when he saw Charlie at the door, and hurriedly let Charlie into the room and said smilingly,
“Charlie, you are so busy, how can you still have time to come and see me.”
Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Grandpa, I have something to greet you in advance for.”
Zhongquan said with a smile,
“Charlie, you are now the head of the Wade family, everyone in the Wade family looks up to you,”
“So if there is anything you want to do, just say so, just make a phone call and give an order.”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “How can I do that, after all, you are the elder.”
“The first thing I want to say to you is that you should not participate in the auction of the pill,”
“After you arrive at the auction today, after all, it is earning money from outsiders,”
“For my own people, there is no need to pour a hand inside. “
The moment Zhongquan heard these words, he was immediately excited.
Earlier, he had wanted to use the position of the Wade family head to exchange for the Rejuvenation Pill with Charlie.
But unexpectedly, during the battle at Waderest, Charlie directly gave him a cup of wine and took away the position of the family head in just a few words.
So much so that he was too embarrassed to ask Charlie for the Rejuvenation Pill.
He originally thought that Charlie would definitely not give him the Rejuvenation Pill for nothing.
But in the blink of an eye, he had given him a big surprise!
Although it was only half a pill, to Zhongquan, it was already very satisfying!
At this time, Zhongquan excited beyond measure, speaking in a somewhat incoherent voice said:
“Cha …… Charlie …… you …… you really want to give grandfather Half a Rejuvenation pill?”
Charlie smiled slightly, nodded, and said: “I can still joke with you about such things?”
“Don’t worry, this half rejuvenation pill will be arranged for you tonight at the auction site,”
“When the time comes, the organizer, Miss Song, will thank you in public for your support of the auction,”
“And then present you with half a rejuvenation pill on the spot, and all you have to do is to take that pill in front of everyone.”
Zhongquan did not expect that he would be able to get what he wanted at the auction tonight,”
“His heart could not help but be ecstatic, and his whole body was excited to the point of trembling.
And he said with incomparable excitement, “Charlie, don’t worry, I will do everything you tell me at that time!”
Charlie nodded and said to him, “Then grandpa, you can rest for a while, when it’s VIP entrance time, a staff member will come to inform you.”
Zhongquan hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, Charlie, you must have a lot of important things to do right now, so you can go ahead and do not worry about me!”
“Okay.” Charlie then said, “Then I’ll leave first.”
Zhongquan said without thinking, “I’ll see you out!”
Charlie went out of Zhongquan’s room and turned back and said, “Grandpa, you stay here.”
“Okay.”
In fact, Charlie did not have deep feelings for Zhongquan, and even he once felt that he could not be blamed for his parents leaving Eastcliff back then.
However, Charlie was not an ungrateful person, after all, it was the old man who invited Qinghua to Eastcliff to rebuild Waderest.
Which was able to break the predicament of Charlie’s dragon trapped in the shallows.
Moreover, it was also the old master who had Leon give him ten billion and the Emgrand Group, which is a favor that Charlie naturally will not forget.
What’s more, when he was in Waderest, he took the family head position directly from the old man.
Who willingly gave way without showing any dissatisfaction, this matter, also let Charlie’s impression of the old man improve a lot.
Charlie is also very clear about the old man’s desire for the Rejuvenation Pill, so this time he promised him half a Pill, which is also considered to give him an explanation.
Leaving grandfather’s room, Charlie went to the central control room, this time the auction site installed dozens of high-definition surveillance cameras.
And the entire auction site is under all-around dead-end monitoring.
Charlie was not going to show up at the auction tonight, he planned to work with Issac to remotely control the entire auction in the central control room.
At this time, in the central control room, besides Issac personally sitting in the town.
Walter, one of the four battle commanders of the Cataclysmic Front, was also here remotely commanding all his men.
Seeing Charlie enter, both of them stood up very respectfully.
Issac respectfully said, “You are here, Young Master.”
Walter wanted to greet Charlie, but remembering the process of his consciousness being sealed in his body at first.
He was unconsciously a little afraid in his heart, so he could only bow slightly like a quail towards Charlie and said very nervously, “Hello Mr. Wade ……!”
Charlie nodded, opened his mouth, and asked, “How is the situation?”
Issac pointed to the one in the middle of the nine large screens in the front, said to Charlie:
“Young Master, the two hundred people attending the meeting and the ten people on the waiting list have basically entered the venue after the security check,”
“Soon all of them will be admitted, and then the VIPs will be invited to enter.”
Charlie nodded slightly and asked, “Did you encounter any problems during the security check?”
“No.” Issac said with a smile, “These people are very obedient, they have almost nothing on them except their clothes,”
“And they are worried to let out a fa.rt so that they can pass the security check,”
“So far all the people who have passed the security check have passed without any abnormalities.”
“That’s good.” Charlie nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Walter: “Today around the scene you did not find any abnormalities, right?”
Walter hastily shook his head and said seriously, “Mr. Wade, I have arranged for my capable men to install many hidden cameras as well as thermal imaging systems and life monitoring systems around the hotel,”
“Using the most sophisticated international equipment, and there are also many soldiers of the Front hiding in the shadows, so we will never let any suspicious person enter Shangri-La.”
“Good.” Charlie said with a smile, “With the brothers of the Cataclysmic Front sitting in the town, I am completely at ease with this piece of security.”
Walter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, my subordinates will do their best to ensure that the security of the auction is flawless!”
Charlie nodded approvingly, and at that moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The person who called was the fourth VIP of the night, Stella.
As soon as the call came through, Stella said, “Mr. Wade, I am now at the entrance of Shangri-La,”
“But the security personnel won’t let me get close, so I can only stand across the road.”
Charlie smiled, “Miss Zhan wait for a moment, I’ll come over to pick you up.”
Stella politely said, “Then it’s hard for Mr. Wade!”
After hanging up the phone, Charlie came to the entrance of Shangri-La.
Sure enough, on the opposite side of the road from the main entrance.
He saw the stunning and enchanting Stella in a black dress standing on the side of the road.
When she saw Charlie, she hurriedly trotted over from across the road, and a member of the Cataclysmic Front beside Charlie immediately spoke up and said,
“You lady, I have already warned you, our hotel is currently closed to the public, please do not approach.”
Charlie said to him at this time with an indifferent face, “It’s okay, Miss Zhan is here to see me.”
The man was a five-star general of the Cataclysmic Front, and also the head of the security team of the main gate.
He had once seen Charlie’s terrifying strength on Waderest Mountain, hearing Charlie’s words, he immediately bowed respectfully and said,
“Sorry Mr. Wade, your subordinate didn’t know that this young lady was your friend, please don’t blame me…”
Charlie waved his hand and laughed: “You are just doing your job, no offense, naturally there is no need to make amends with me.”
The man hurriedly said, “Thank you Mr. Wade for your understanding!”
At this time, Stella could not help but be surprised in her heart.
She did not expect that this man would refer to himself as a subordinate in front of Charlie.
And her heart became a little more curious about Charlie’s identity.
A moment later, she came to stand in front of him and said with a polite smile, “Sorry Mr. Wade, I have to trouble you to come out to pick me up.”
Charlie smiled lightly and said, “It’s just a matter of raising a hand, Miss Zhan doesn’t have to be polite.”
After saying that, he made an invitation gesture and said to her, “Miss Zhan, please come in!”
“Okay!” Stella nodded and followed Charlie into the Shangri-La Hotel, as she walked, she asked Charlie in mock surprise:
“Mr. Wade, what is the great treasure in today’s auction,”
“There are so many security personnel, I have never seen such a formation before!”
Charlie also did not cover up, said casually: “Tonight’s auction finale item, is a kind of elixir called Rejuvenation Pill,”
“Not only can cure a hundred diseases but also can make people turn back in time, twenty years younger!”
Stella, unfortunately, pretended to be very surprised and asked, “In this world, is there really such a magical elixir?!”
Charlie smiled playfully and said, “It just so happens that there is a special rule for tonight’s auction,”
“Those who will win the Rejuvenation Pill will have to take the Pill on the spot,”
“And then you will be able to see the magic of this pill with your own eyes.”
Stella had long understood the process and requirements of the Rejuvenation Pill auction.
However, in front of Charlie, she still pretended to be surprised and listened to his introduction.
He was just to play along, deliberately pretending that he was still convinced that she was the Zhan Feier from France.
This is because he does not intend to pierce Stella’s identity, he intends to continue to play with her first.
And then wait for her to take the initiative to pick everything out with him.
So, the two of them, each with their own thoughts, arrived at the security entrance of the banquet hall.
Charlie handed a VIP invitation to Stella and said to her,
“Miss Zhan, just take the invitation and go in yourself,”
“Just give it to the staff, then the staff will naturally take you directly to the private box on the second floor.”
Stella was surprised and asked, “Mr. Wade, don’t you want to go in together?”
Charlie laughed: “I just have a VIP invitation, but my status is not VIP, but a consultant of this auction,”
“So I will sit in the monitoring room later and won’t go to the scene.”
“So that’s how it is.” Stella nodded gently, although Charlie not going in with her made her feel a bit lost.
But she thought about it on second thought, since Charlie was the boss behind this auction.
It was natural that he couldn’t go with her to the VIP room to watch.
We must be somewhere where he could see the whole picture and monitor everything in real-time.
So, she said to him, “Mr. Wade, in that case, I will go in first, and when the auction is over, I will contact you at that time.”
Charlie nodded and said, “The security check of the auction is very strict,”
“You have to give your cell phone and all your belongings to the security guard for storage,”
“And before the auction starts, your personal belongings will be taken to other places for temporary storage,”
“But don’t worry, when the auction ends, the security guard will bring all your personal belongings over.”
“Okay!” She really didn’t expect that the security here was so strict that her belongings were not allowed to be taken in,”
“But she even had to be transferred to another place.
However, she was also clear that she had little choice, so she could only nod and accept.
After that, Charlie said goodbye to her and let her go through the security check.
While he prepared to return to the monitoring room.
The location of the monitoring room was in the box at the back of the banquet hall.
The venue of this auction is after all the temporary transformation of the hotel catering department.
In addition to the largest banquet hall, itself there are several high-end banquet boxes.
Issac then chose a distance of more than ten meters from the banquet hall boxes.
This distance is very close, but because the sound insulation is very well done, so there will not be any interference.
And these boxes, in addition to the one used as a monitoring room.
There is also a temporary lounge, which is prepared for Warnia.
Since Warnia herself would be the auctioneer for tonight’s show, she was waiting in this lounge.
When Charlie passed by the door of her lounge, the door happened to be open, and Warnia was just about to walk out from inside.
When she ran into Charlie head-on, her crystal eyes were immediately covered with surprise and she said offhandedly, “Master Wade!”
Charlie smiled, “Warnia, how are the preparations going?”
She shook the card filled with manuscripts in her hand and said with some apprehension,
“The preparations were almost done a long time ago, but I am more or less nervous.”
Saying that, she smiled gently and explained, “To be honest, I have never been an auctioneer before,”
“And more importantly, those who came to the auction this time are basically wealthy people who are well-informed and rich,”
“So I am worried that I will not play well and make a joke of myself.”
Charlie smiled and said comfortingly, “In fact, you don’t have to be nervous at all,”
“This group of people who came here tonight can even sell their dignity for the Rejuvenation Pill,”
“So no matter if you perform well or badly, no one will dare to look at you and make a joke out of it.”
Warnia nodded gently and said shyly: “In fact …… in fact,”
“I am mainly afraid that I will not play well and let you down, Master Wade ……”
Charlie laughed: “No, today is our seller’s market, as long as the Rejuvenation pills are out,”
“Even if we do a lousy job, next year there will be a crowd to participate,”
“So you just go with confidence, do not worry about playing well or bad!”
Warnia heard him say so, the tension in her heart did ease a lot, nodded slightly, and said, “Okay Master Wade, I understand!”
Charlie gave a sound, remembered something, said:
“Right Warnia, this auction, I originally wanted to invite your grandfather to attend as a guest of honor,”
“But then thought, you just took over the Song Group, so on this occasion, I should let you,”
“The new head of the Song family to come out to show yourself properly,”
“If you invite the old man over, it seems to be a little noisy to take over the master.”
“So the idea was dismissed, so don’t blame me.”
Warnia had really thought about this issue.
She did not blame Charlie’s intention but only felt that, according to Charlie’s style.
In this kind of matter will often consider all aspects, and take care of even the minor details.
But this time, for some reason, he did not invite her grandfather to participate.
Nor did he invite several other entrepreneurs in the city with whom he had a relatively simmering relationship.
For example, Qin Gang and Solomon Wang, both of them, were not invited either.
However, once Charlie explained this, she immediately understood his good intentions.
Originally, this family head position, she got with his help,”
“With her young age, the time on the throne is also very short.
In terms of contacts, fame, and influence, naturally can not be compared to grandfather.
If Charlie invited her grandfather over as a VIP today, it would widen the prestige gap between her and her grandfather.
This instantly made her heart even more grateful to Charlie and couldn’t help but say,
“Master Wade, thank you for always thinking of me in every way……”
Charlie smiled lightly and said seriously: “I am not just thinking of you,”
“More or less there are still some other personal feelings.”
Saying that, Charlie continued, “For me, in addition to having this layer of your consideration,”
“I am also worried that inviting too many acquaintances will reveal my coordinates.”
“Especially people like Qin Gang, Solomon, Orvel, and Elder Song himself,”
“If I invited them all to the VIP table one by one,”
“Then someone with a heart would only need to investigate the social connections of these people and would be able to locate me immediately.”
“So, I didn’t invite my local friends this time, not only for your sake but also to better hide myself.”
Tonight’s VIPs were just four people in total.
Apart from Stella, who used a fake identity, it was Elder Wade, Qinghua, and the Old Queen of Northern Europe.
As for Elder Wade, Charlie felt that it was fine, after all, he was only substantially sitting on the position of the Wade family head.
But the Wade family head in the eyes of the outside world was still Elder Wade.
And this auction is the Song family and the Wade family co-organized.
The Song family head as auctioneer, the Wade family head as a VIP to attend it, it seems all reasonable.
Moreover, Charlie felt that it would be a good opportunity to increase the influence of the Wade family by having the family head show his face more now.
As for Qinghua and the old queen of Northern Europe, they were usually far away about ten thousand miles.
And their interactions with themselves were originally very few.
So it would be difficult for others to find themselves even if they cut through the two of them.
At this moment, the banquet hall.
The scene of more than four hundred people, instead of being noisy in the slightest, managed to be silent.
Here were two hundred attendees who officially participated in the auction.
As well as two hundred accompanying people, and ten alternates who were ready to fill in at any time.
Among them, many of them saw their familiar figures.
But, because of the strict disciplinary requirements of the venue.
Even if they saw their acquaintances, they could only gesture with their eyes and nod, while maintaining absolute silence.
Looking at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, the time had already reached 7:40.
The crowd was all a bit impatient for the auction to start, there were still 20 minutes to go.
And 20 minutes later, a violent fight between money monarchs would be officially set off!
At this moment, the entrance of the venue opened.
Abeautiful woman wearing a white satin cheongsam stepped into the venue.
Her appearance caused the scene to let out a cry of surprise.
These top tycoons, who have seen a lot, have rarely had the opportunity to see such a stunning oriental beauty.
This woman with an unparalleled oriental temperament is the chairperson of the Song Group, Warnia Song.
Warnia, who was still a bit nervous, was already enlightened after Charlie’s pep talk.
She walked into the banquet hall with a confident stride, crossed the red carpet between the left and right seats, and stepped onto the stage.
Everyone’s eyes followed her figure and followed her up to the auction stage.
Afterward, Warnia stood in front of the auction stage, smiled demurely at the microphone, and said,
“Welcome to the first Rejuvenation Pill Auction, I am Warnia Song, Chairwoman of the Song Group.”
Thunderous applause instantly rang out from the stage.
These people had waited for too long and suppressed for too long.
And now that they could finally make some noise in name only.
They naturally worked extra hard.
After the endless applause, Warnia nodded her head slightly to express her gratitude and continued,
“Tonight’s auction is co-organized by the Song Group’s Antique Hall and the Wade Group’s Shangri-La Hotel,”
“And I, as tonight’s auctioneer, will provide guidance and assistance throughout the auction.”
Speaking here, Warnia gave a slight beating before continuing,
“Before the auction officially starts tonight, first of all,”
“Please welcome our three VIPs today with warm applause!”
The majority of the people who attended the auction did not know about the organizer’s arrangements.
So they did not know that there were even VIPs at the auction tonight.
At this moment, Warnia introduced, “The first guest is the recently abdicated Nordic Empress, the Honorable Victoria Iliad!”
Outside the entrance, the old empress was pacing back and forth nervously.
Standing beside her were Zhongquan, the head of the Wade family, and Qinghua Lai, the feng shui master.
Zhongquan and Qinghua were naturally old acquaintances, and the two of them had only met here.
Originally, both sides had a lot to say, but precisely because the old empress was around.
The two of them did not communicate much other than greeting each other.
At this time, the old queen heard Warnia call her name, hurriedly stood still.
Gently stroked her chest, took several deep breaths.
And only then gathered the courage to step into the hall.
Although the old queen’s social status in Europe is very high but to the rich and powerful in North America, as well as the Middle East and Asia.
She is just a poor old lady with an empty noble title, so the scene immediately appeared a very interesting one.
Many European aristocrats, rich and powerful saw the old queen.
Stood up, and slightly bowed to show respect, but the rest of the people are disdainful.
Just as the old empress entered, Zhongquan outside the door said to Qinghua with a respectful face,
“Mr. Lai, we finally meet again!”
Qinghua nodded and said with the same polite respect, “How have you been, Mr. Wade?”
Zhongquan smiled faintly and said, “Some time ago, there were some situations, which made me a bit anxious,”
“But after Charlie’s return to Eastcliff, many troubles were solved,”
“And thanks to his efforts, the Wade family not only passed the crisis safely but also took the opportunity to further develop.”
Qinghua said with a smile:
“Wade family can have young master this kind of real dragon, is indeed a great fortune,”
“With Young Master in, Wade family on top of the world, just around the corner!”
Zhongquan hurriedly arch his hand and said, “Then I’ll take your advice, Mr. Lai!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the two of them heard Warnia in the banquet hall say,
“Next, please give a warm applause to our second guest of honor tonight,”
“The direct descendant of Song Dynasty Feng Shui Master Lai Buyi, the over 100-year-old Feng Shui Master, Mr. Qinghua Lai!”
Hearing this, Zhongquan was stunned, he originally thought that he should be the second guest.
And Qinghua must be the last guest of honor in the finale.
But unexpectedly, Charlie had arranged for Qinghua to appear first and let himself be the grand finale, so he couldn’t help but be excited in his heart.
Qinghua was not surprised by this arrangement, after all, Zhongduan was Charlie’s grandfather and also the explicit head of the Wade family.
Charlie would definitely arrange for him to be the finale.
So that the Wade family’s global popularity could be instantly raised by a large margin.
So, Qinghua then smiled and said to Zhongquan, “Mr. Wade, I’ll make my debut first!”
Zhongquan hurriedly made an invitation gesture and respectfully said, “Please, Mr. Lai!”
Qinghua nodded slightly in greeting and walked into the banquet hall with a robust pace.
And at this moment, inside the banquet hall, most of the group of people who did not stand up to welcome the old queen just now stood up.
These, almost all of them, were rich and powerful people from around the world.
Many of them were looking forward to the Rejuvenation Pill after hearing Qinghua’s introduction.
And they had also always held Qinghua’s attainments in feng shui in high esteem.
So when they saw his entrance, they naturally had to get up to welcome him.
However, almost none of the Europeans who had just stood up and bowed to the old queen stood up.
Europe is actually very different from North America, North America itself is composed of immigrants, more faiths, more ethnic groups.
And relatively more inclusive, while the Europeans, who have maintained many traditions inherited from the Middle Ages.
So more stubborn and old-fashioned, they will salute a long-lost royal family, but scorn Qinghua, a feng shui master.
However, Qinghua did not care about these strange eyes, his expression was always cloudy and light at the same time, with a few meticulous observations.
He walked to the three VIP seats in the very center of the first row, the old Queen had already taken the seat on the right-hand side.
At this time, a staff member walked up and indicated Qinghua to sit on the left-hand side.
Just then, Warnia said aloud: “Next, please stand up and welcome our third VIP tonight with the warmest applause,”
“And also the chairman of the Wade Group, Mr. Zhongquan Wade!”
