[R18] 夫人你馬甲又掉了 – “Madam, Your Vest Has Fallen Off Again” Chapter 280 [English]

280 Qinran’s potted plants (third update)

Qin Ran reached out and took it, “Thank you.”

Cheng Mu followed the others expressionlessly. When he saw the plastic bag in Qinran’s hand, he knew it was still grass.

Cheng Mu and Cheng Wenru just reminded them.

Cheng Wenru knew that Qin Ran’s deskmate grew flowers at home, so he was not curious. He was very polite and didn’t ask any more questions. They put the Lin family into the van before leaving.

Cheng Wenru did not go back to his apartment, but went to Tinglan Apartment with Cheng Juan and Qinran.

Qin Ran did not practice the piano first, but first found some books in Cheng Juan’s study.

Cheng Wenru was talking to Cheng Juan about the company and the Cheng family.

“There is too much competition. I wonder what the Yunguang Consortium will do this time.” Cheng Wenru sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand and squinting slightly.

She also didn’t shy away from Qin Ran and spoke straightforwardly.

Cheng Juan turned on his computer, logged in to his account, flipped through the email Cheng Shui sent her, and casually replied: “EA series programs and robots.”

“Do you have news?” Cheng Wenru crossed her legs slightly and looked at Cheng Juan intently.

Although they are siblings, Cheng Wenru doesn’t know what Cheng Juan is doing. It seems that he knows all the news and even knows the big boss in Asia.

Cheng Juan lazily clicked on the next document and glanced at Qin Ran calmly. The other party’s movements in picking up the book were a little slower, and then he smiled: “No, it’s just a guess.”

Cheng Wenru knew that Cheng Juan rarely joked. What he said was probably true. She held the cup and thought for a moment.

Qin Ran stood by the bookshelf, completely convinced. She took a step back, holding the book in one hand and putting the other in her pocket, “I’m going to practice the piano first.”

Before Cheng Juan could say anything, Cheng Wenru stood up immediately and went to the piano room with Qin Ran, “You are still practicing the piano so late? Pay attention to rest and don’t be too tired.”

“Also, there will be an auction in three days, at eight o’clock in the evening.” Cheng Wenru looked at Qin Ran and smiled gently, “There are a lot of novelty things in it. Do you want to go and take a look with me?”

Qin Ran changed her hand to hold the book and did not refuse: “Okay.”

Cheng Juan sat in his seat and listened to the conversation between the two: “…”

Within a few minutes, Cheng Wenru turned back, took his bag, glanced at Cheng Juan, and said calmly, “I’m going back to the company.”

A different person from before.

downstairs.

Secretary Li was sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand, talking to Cheng Jin.

Seeing Cheng Wen walking downstairs, they both stood up and said, “Miss.”

Cheng Jin only spoke politely. Cheng Wenru and Secretary Li were already used to the attitudes of people like Cheng Jin, so they were not too surprised.

“When did you come back?” Cheng Wenru stopped and looked at Cheng Jin.

She was a little curious about Cheng Jin’s attitude towards Qin Ran.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, “I just came back two minutes ago.”

“Miss, I was just telling Mr. Cheng Jin about the young master and Miss Ouyang.” Secretary Li bent down and put down the tea cup, “The two of you met this afternoon. I guess I have already placed an order at 129.”

“It’s useless,” Cheng Jin shook his head with a serious face, “The auction house system is very secretive. Even the auction house itself doesn’t know who Wangyou’s seller is. If you want to find out, at least it must be a senior member of Club 129.”

It’s not easy to invite them.

129 is too mysterious in the capital. Even a few hackers in the laboratory have not been able to break through their defense system. Ouyang Wei is only an ordinary member of 129, and it is too difficult to find senior personnel.

Cheng Wenru glanced at Cheng Jin, smiled, but made a mental note. Cheng Jin seemed to be very familiar with the internal system of the auction house. He even knew what level of members 129 needed to dispatch.

“Chenniao and Zhalong have been very active in recent years, and they have taken a lot of orders. However, the main areas of activity of these two people are abroad, and Wangyou sellers may not be able to detect them.” That’s why Cheng Jincai said that what Cheng Raohan did by asking Ouyang Wei was useless. “Of course, if Ouyang Wei can invite the lone wolf, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”

After listening to Cheng Jin’s words.

Cheng Wenru couldn’t help but reached out and touched the center of his eyebrows.

“Then this will be troublesome…” She squinted her eyes. Mr. Cheng may have to struggle this month.

Most of the auctions are conducted anonymously, and this month there will be a lot of competition for a bottle of Wangyou.

Three people are talking.

Cheng Mu came up from the stairs next to the rich tree and moved a potted plant over with great movement.

“Miss.” When he saw Cheng Wenru, he greeted him politely, then took the kettle with a bang, opened his backpack, picked up the tools in his hand, and carefully took care of the potted plants placed by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Cheng Jin had gotten used to it in the past two days and turned his head away, not wanting to see more.

Cheng Wenru and Secretary Li took another look at Cheng Mu.

Cheng Wenru raised her eyebrows, then withdrew her gaze, said something to Cheng Jin, and turned to leave. When she just turned around, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind.

She’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

“Miss?” Secretary Li and Cheng Jin both looked at her.

Cheng Wenru squeezed her hand tightly.

She walked directly towards Cheng Mu and pointed at the flowers that Cheng Mu had carefully taken care of: “Cheng Mu, where did you get this flower?”

Cheng Mu shook his hand and almost poured too much water.

“Miss, these are Miss Qin’s flowers.” Finally, he asked, “Is there any problem?”

Cheng Wenru didn’t say anything, just picked up his phone from his bag and quickly flipped to a photo for comparison.

Of course there are no two identical pots in the world of bonsai.

But the leaves and flower shapes of the potted plants in her photo are exactly the same as those Cheng Mu is taking care of.

Cheng Wenru remembered clearly that the potted plant was a new variety and it was only tried out last month. Two pots were auctioned, one at the Cheng family and one at the research institute…

Why does Cheng Mu have a pot here?

Cheng Wenru didn’t say anything. She just remembered the number on the back of the potted plant and turned over it. There was no specific code.

“Cheng Mu, can you tear off a piece of this leaf and give it to me?” Cheng Wenru glanced at Cheng Mu.

The leaves of this potted plant are the size of coins, five-pointed star-shaped, green with a little fluorescent blue, which is very special. Although there is no code, Cheng Wenru does not think it is fake.

Hearing Cheng Wenru’s flowers, Cheng Mu glanced at her and said, “I’ll ask someone first.”

He reached out and sent a message to Lin Siran, asking if she could tear off a leaf and give it away.

Lin Siran seemed to be very busy, so he replied perfunctorily, “Okay.”

Cheng Mu reached out and pulled off a leaf and gave it to Cheng Wenru.

Cheng Wenru took the leaves and went back to the Cheng family’s old house. He knocked on the door of the research institute again overnight and handed the two leaves to them for identification.

“The results will be available in three days.” The researcher took the two leaves given by Cheng Wenru and thought for a while before answering.

Cheng Wenru breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Sorry to trouble you, teacher.”

**

Three days later.

The largest monthly auction in the capital’s underground auction house begins.

In the evening, Cheng Wenru wore a long red dress and came to Tinglan to pick up Qin Ran. She didn’t take Cheng Juan to play, and they were accompanied by Secretary Li.

The underground auction house in Beijing is on the third negative floor of the Black Street Casino.

It opens at 8 p.m.

The interior is magnificent and the corridor is very spacious. Take the elevator to the third floor. There are bodyguards standing on both sides of the door. Cheng Wenru takes out a black card from his pocket and hands it to them.

Within two minutes, a doorman in black clothes respectfully ushered Qin Ran and others into a box.

The box is suspended around the auction house, with one-way glass in front, so you can clearly see the auction table and the people sitting below.

“Ran Ran, if you like anything, just press this.” Cheng Wenru pointed to the red button in the middle of the table and motioned for Qin Ran to come and sit down: “Third brother pays the bill.”

Qin Ran sat next to Cheng Wenru, put her phone on the table, and looked at the first auction item that the auctioneer took out.

It’s a piece of jade.

Cheng Wenru came today for Wangyou, but he would also see if there was anything suitable for Qinran.

Qin Ran rested her chin on her hand. At first, she was quite curious about the auction house.

The backstage felt no different from the auction house in M ​​state, so she had no interest in it. She crossed her legs and took out her mobile phone to play games.

Cheng Wenru did not disturb her, but looked at the auction items and took pictures of beautiful jewelry or antiques when she saw them.

After waiting for a while, she arrived at her main purpose today: to forget her worries.

A glass bottle appeared on the big screen in the auction room.

Secretary Li reminded, “Miss.”

Cheng Wenru nodded.

Wangyou’s starting price was still 2 million, which was not too much. At the beginning, people in the stands below made scattered bids.

No one spoke in the private room upstairs.

The price was increased to 5 million, and the bidding for the private room upstairs started.

When it reached 5 million, it had exceeded Wangyou’s previous auction price, and fewer and fewer people raised the price, but there were many rich people in the capital.

“Wangyou suddenly turned into a bottle this time,” Secretary Li lowered his voice, “No one knows what will happen. If there is no bottle next month…”

Obviously, this is what worries everyone who bids for Wangyou.

Wangyou has always had ten bottles a month, but this month it suddenly became one bottle. Basically, regular customers are thinking whether there is something wrong with Wangyou itself. This may be the last bottle, so they want to take pictures at any cost.

So that when it comes to 8 million W, the competition is still fierce.
