Chapter: 4003
As for Lai Qinghua and the old queen of Northern Europe, they usually reside far away and have little contact with him, so even if others were to probe them, it would be difficult to find anything.
At this moment, in the banquet hall.
There are over four hundred people present, not only showing no signs of commotion, but also achieving absolute silence as quiet as a mouse.
Among them, there are two hundred formal attendees attending the auction, two hundred accompanying personnel, and ten backup personnel ready to step in at any time.
Some people noticed familiar faces among the crowd, but due to strict rules governing the venue, they could only exchange eye contact and nods while maintaining absolute silence.
Looking at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, the time has reached 7:40, with everyone becoming increasingly impatient as the auction is about to begin in twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, a fierce battle between money and money would officially kick off!
Just then, the entrance of the venue opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in white silk robes stepped into the hall.
Her appearance caused an involuntary gasp from the crowd.
Even these high-level wealthy individuals rarely had the opportunity to see such a stunning Eastern beauty.
This Eastern beauty, without peer in terms of elegance and refinement, was none other than Song Wan-ting, chairman of the Song Group.
Initially still feeling a bit anxious, Song Wan-ting's demeanor had already relaxed after some guidance from Ye Cheng, and she strode confidently into the hall, walking across the red carpet between the chairs to reach the auction platform.
Everyone's gaze followed her figure as she walked up onto the auction stage.
Subsequently, Song Wan-ting stood before the microphone on the auction stage, delivering a dignified and beaming smile: "Welcome, esteemed guests who have traveled far to participate in the first Spring Dan Auction, I am Song Wan-ting, chairman of the Song Group."
The audience was immediately filled with thunderous applause.
These people had waited for too long and suppressed their emotions for too long; now, they could finally make some noise, and naturally, it carried extra force.
After the prolonged applause, Song Wan-ting nodded slightly to express her gratitude and continued: "Tonight's auction is co-hosted by Song Group's Jiyue Hall and Ye Family Group's Baijin Han Garden Hotel, and I will also be serving as tonight's auctioneer, providing guidance and assistance throughout the entire process."
She paused briefly before continuing: "Before the auction officially begins, I would like to invite everyone to use their warm applause to welcome our three VIP guests tonight!"
Most of these people participating in the auction did not know about the organizer's arrangements, so they were unaware that there would be VIPs at tonight's auction.
"This moment, only Song Wan-ting's voice could be heard introducing: 'The first VIP guest is Her Majesty Queen Victoria of Northern Europe, who has just retired!'"
Outside, Queen Victoria was nervously pacing back and forth.
By her side stood Ye Family patriarch Ye Zhongquan and Feng Shui master Lai Qinghua.
Ye Zhongquan and Lai Qinghua were naturally old acquaintances, but since they had finally met in person here, both of them had a lot to say, but due to Queen Victoria being present, they only exchanged greetings without further interaction.
At this moment, Queen Victoria heard Song Wan-ting calling her name, hurriedly standing still, lightly patting her chest, and taking a few deep breaths before gathering her courage and walking into the banquet hall.
Although Queen Victoria's social status was high in Europe, to wealthy people from North America, the Middle East, and Asia, she was nothing more than an old lady with a noble title, so at this moment, an interesting scene unfolded on stage. Many European aristocrats and wealthy individuals got up and slightly bowed when they saw Queen Victoria, showing respect, but the others looked at her with disdain. JrNovels.com
