Chapter 36 Bronze News
Chapter 36 Bronze News
eight pm.
After Bai Xi took Lu Youqing to the Tianzhijin Restaurant where Lu An had treated them last time for a meal, he took her to IFC to start shopping.
Cartier LOVE series rose gold diamond bracelet, buy!
Chanel Golden Ball Fat Man, buy it!
"Hermes Equestrian Show Jumping" mug set of 3, buy!
Garden of the Nile perfume set, buy it!
......
Bai Xi asked the salesgirl to buy up anything that looked okay. Anyway, Xiao Rui had already completed the acquisition of the styling studio in Dijing and was gradually moving it to Tan Palace in Modou. Buying more inventory would give him more outfit options in the future.
She decided to wait until the high-end new Chinese clothing studio she had contacted before had time and order a few more sets of clothes. As long as the wardrobe is big enough, who would complain about having too many clothes?
At first, Lu Youqing strongly refused Bai Xi to buy things for her, but when she saw Bai Xi's posture as if he was buying goods from a stall, her eyes widened.
After Bai Xi confronted her and she donated 100 million yuan to the school, Lu Youqing gave up resistance and joined the shopping spree.
Luxury goods only cost a few dollars, and her best friend just waved her hand and spent 100 million yuan and was willing to give it to her, so what's wrong with her taking a little!
In less than two hours, Bai Xi's mall membership level was directly upgraded from Lv.1 to the highest level in the mall. Other luxury stores that had not been scanned heard the news and began to adjust their stocks frantically, for fear of missing out on this opening opportunity.
But the excitement had passed, and Bai Xi and Lu Youqing were a little tired of shopping. Xiao Rui also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because they needed to carry bags, because these luxury stores have door-to-door delivery services. It was simply because their hands cramped from swiping cards so fast. It was the first time that he felt so tired after shopping.
"Miss, if you and Miss Lu are tired, you can take a rest first. I will contact the managers of the big brands and send their items directly to our villa for you to choose.
Now, how about I arrange a spa treatment for you to relax?"
Xiao Rui saw that Bai Xi and Lu Youqing had already started rubbing their feet, so he picked up his phone and sent a few messages. Then he walked up to them, half squatted down and said.
Bai Xi thought about it, turned to look at Lu Youqing, and Lu Youqing nodded vigorously, thus agreeing to Xiao Rui's arrangement.
Originally, Bai Xi was still thinking about whether to experience the nightlife of Shanghai and go clubbing after the spa. However, after they finished, they started to feel sleepy and yawned continuously. They immediately gave up the idea and took a car back to Tan Palace No. 1 to rest.
Have a good night's sleep.
......
"Just once, I'll take you to see the end of time..."
The early morning sun shone into the room, and the urgent ringing of the telephone echoed in the master bedroom. A hand with crystal-clear skin stretched out from under the quilt, fumbled for a while, and answered the phone.
"Hey......"
Bai Xi's voice was a little confused, which was very cute. It was obvious that he had not woken up yet.
"It seems like every time I call you, it's when you're sleeping, Bai Xi."
Bai Xi's voice made Lu An stunned for a moment, and then he said jokingly.
The last trip to the capital turned Bai Xi and Lu An from partners into good friends, and now they call each other by their first names.
"Oh... Lu An... what's wrong?"
The voice coming from the other side made Bai Xi sober up a little, but he was still too lazy to get up, so he yawned and asked.
"There are two pieces of good news, one big and one small. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Huh? Shouldn't it normally be one good and one bad?
Then I'll listen to the older one first."
"Huh? You're also playing by your own rules. Don't normal people always listen to the younger ones first?"
Lu An did not expect Bai Xi to give this answer, and was a little confused.
"What do you care about me?" Bai Xi replied with a humph, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of anger.
"Okay, okay, Miss Bai is the best. The good news is that I found the information about the bronze artifact you were looking for."
Lu An's tone also carried a hint of doting, and he could feel the corners of the other person's mouth rising through the microphone.
"real?!"
Bai Xi suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up in bed, straightened his hair which was a little messy from sleeping, and cried out in surprise.
"Of course it's true, I called you as soon as I got the news.
A week later, several top collectors in Hong Kong will hold an auction, with the process jointly notarized by Sotheby's, China Guardian, and Poly. I just got the news of the collection today, so it should spread soon."
"Then how do I get there?"
"I've had someone send you the invitation and auction brochure. They should be arriving soon."
"Wow! Thank you, Mr. Lu! Goodbye, Mr. Lu!"
When Bai Xi heard this, he couldn't stay still any longer and wanted to hang up the phone and run downstairs.
"Hey, hey, you're just going to burn the bridge after crossing it, right? I have a little good news, but you don't want to hear it?"
Lu An's somewhat helpless voice came. Bai Xi stopped wanting to go downstairs, sat down obediently, and replied in a deliberately coquettish voice: "Ahem, too excited, Mr. Lu, what do you say~"
"Hiss, stop, be normal. Also, I've put together a set for you of the Five Emperors' Coins from before. They're in pretty good condition. See if they meet your requirements."
Bai Xi's affected voice gave Lu An goosebumps all over his body, and he spoke directly to try to interrupt the spell.
"Wow! Thank you, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu V587, I'll go down and take a look right now!"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Okay, bye!"
There was a busy tone in the receiver. Lu An slowly put down the phone and shook his head gently.
You are a beautiful girl in front of strangers, graceful and charming at banquets, and a lively and cheerful girl after becoming friends. You are really a contradiction, Bai Xi.
......
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xi ran downstairs, took the two packages from Xiao Rui, and then couldn't wait to open the packages.
The first package was an antique box containing woven Five Emperors' Coins.
The second package contained an invitation and an auction brochure.
Bai Xi put the box aside first. There was no need to worry about the Five Emperors' Coins. The most important thing was the list of auction items. This was a core task that affected whether the motherland could take off.
She flipped open the auction item brochure and took a look. The opening items were some jade jewelry to warm up the atmosphere. Bai Xi thought about it and realized that she also had a task to buy jewelry. She would see if she could complete it at the same time.
Turning to the end, Bai Xi finally saw the two bronze artifacts marked by Lu An that might meet her needs. The first was a Warring States bronze inlaid with gold and silver sword of King Yue, and the second was a late Western Zhou bronze Xi Jia plate. Compared with the former, the latter was more likely to meet her needs.
One reason is that the latter is older, and the other is that it has a 133-character inscription inside, which records the political, economic, military and social life of the time. It has very high historical and cultural value, which is quite consistent with the system's definition of a national treasure.
In other words, if this does not meet the system requirements, then there is basically no hope of completing the task.
Bai Xi happily put away the invitation and auction list, then turned her eyes to the Five Emperors' Coins. She covered them with her hand and muttered to herself:
"Task submitted!"
