Chapter 524： ：A chance encounter at auction

Lu Ning felt that he saved Hayden Christensen’s life. Well, Lu Ning himself thought so, otherwise God knows what Natalie will do when she is angry. Anyway, there is a little bit. Lu Ning can guarantee that Hayden Christensen's handsome face will definitely not be kept. If he didn't hug Natalie from behind, that foot would definitely kick while looking at Hayden Christensen's handsome face.

At this moment, Natalie still has an angry expression in the car. With this height, she definitely belongs to the grumpy loli model. Okay, who said that loli has three good qualities, soft voice, soft body, and easy to knock down? Stand up, Hayden Christensen can never kill you.

"Come on, Natalie, it's nothing." Lu Ning looked at Natalie's angrily little face amused while driving.

"Huh, it's just a little lesson for him. In fact, Hayden Christensen is a good person, but this mouth is too broken, and it will suffer in the future. It is better for me to help him get rid of this bad problem now."

Haha, little lesson, look at Hayden Christensen’s pitiful way, Lu Ning feels distressed, but this guy shows a little bit of enjoyment at the last moment, he is extremely scared of thinking, this guy would not like to be abused Which kind of it.

The two said that Lu Ning had already driven the BMW X5 to the five-star hotel where the "Sotheby's" auction was held tonight. However, it seemed that it was a bit early, and there were still two hours before the auction started.

So, Lu Ning and Natalie came to the restaurant on the 3rd floor. It was a buffet at a price of 58 euros per person. All you can eat. But, to be honest, for Natalie, this price definitely belongs to Tiankeng, Xiao Ni Children usually don't eat much at night, and use fruits instead.

"Natalie, I wanted to say it a long time ago. The reason for not growing tall must be related to your nutrition." Lu Ning looked at the dinner plate in Natalie's hand, some vegetable salad, a banana, and a half. Apple and a kiwi, these things can also be called dinner?

Natalie didn't pay attention to Lu Ning. Instead, she gave the other side a roll of eyes. Huh, how did my old lady eat since she was a child? What's wrong?

Lu Ning shrugged and started to choose his own food. The salmon sashimi looked quite fresh, and the lobster pasta was also good.

Although Lu Ning ate a lot, it was only half of the price of 58 euros. It seemed that he was far from the highest level of the buffet, and the difference was not a little bit between the wall and the wall.

"Lu, what did you see in this auction?" Natalie couldn't help her curiosity, and she asked, because when she first entered the door, she deliberately glanced at it. They were all shareholders. There should be no items that Lu Ning likes, such as vases and porcelain.

"Natalie, remember that I was reading "The Collection Manual of Old Summer Palace"?" Lu Ning asked rhetorically after taking a sip of champagne.

"Of course, you mean, there are collections from the Old Summer Palace in this auction?"

"Well, there is a Haiyan Hall in the Old Summer Palace. It was designed by the missionary Castiglione and was built by the West. The most famous one is the twelve beast heads on the clock. The Eight-Power Allied Forces burned the Old Summer Palace and snatched it away. Countless precious cultural relics, including these 12 animal heads."

"Lu, this is an unfortunate history. The barbarism and ignorance of the predecessors destroyed history."

"Yes, it's very barbaric. They couldn't take the 12 statues away, so they destroyed the statues and took the 12 beast heads back to their country."

"So? Are there any animal heads in this auction?"

"The beast heads participating in the auction this time include bull, tiger, monkey, and 3 bronze heads. I am sure to win this."

The two were not discussing such a disappointing issue. Lu Ning and Natalie walked out of the restaurant and headed to the main venue of this Sotheby's auction when half an hour before the auction began.

"Lu, there are Chinese." Natalie, who was walking beside Lu Ning, suddenly whispered beside Lu Ning.

Lu Ning looked up and saw that they were indeed five Chinese. However, these Lu Nings were not familiar with them. They should not be the kind of proud family members. They looked like scholars, two men and three women. A man in his 60s with presbyopic glasses and an intellectual woman in his 40s, the other two women and one man do not seem to be very old, and they are roughly around twenty-four or five.

This combination looks a little weird. When Lu Ning was watching them, the elderly scholars seemed to have seen Lu Ning. When they saw Lu Ning, they were a little surprised. It seems that they recognized Lu Ning’s identity and clicked. Nodding, as a greeting, Lu Ning also nodded slightly in return, and took Natalie to the registration office randomly and asked for his number plate.

For a rich man like Lu Ning, the "Sotheby's" auction house certainly paid great attention, not only gave the first row of seats, but also a person in charge of the scene personally sent it to the seat to show respect.

The old man, who just nodded with Lu Ning, brought this weird group of five people to the middle position. At this time, the young man among them couldn't help asking, "Professor, do you know Lu Ning?" "

Obviously, all five people in this group recognized Lu Ning's identity However, the two sides never met, so they did not rush up to say hello.

"Yes, but I know him, he doesn't know me." The old man called the professor looked very humorous.

"Elder Wu, do you think Lu Ning also came because of the bronze head?" asked the intellectual young woman in her 40s.

"I don't know, but maybe." The professor called Lao Wu also didn't know Lu Ning's purpose.

"Oh, if Lu Ning also came for the bronze head, wouldn't our task be much more difficult?"

"Yu Xin, don't be surprised, what are you doing." Yu Xin, who had just exclaimed, was scolded by an intellectual young woman in her 40s.

"Oh, Teacher Han, I'm not in a hurry. You know, our funds are not abundant. If we compete with that Lu Ning, we will have no chance of winning at all."

Yu Xin’s words also made the faces of the other four people a little ugly. Now, the only hope is that Lu Ning’s goal is not to be a bull, a tiger, a monkey, and three bronze heads. Otherwise, the five of them will probably be white. Take a trip.

On the other hand, Lu Ning and Natalie sitting in their positions are also secretly discussing the group of five people they just saw.

"Lu, you said, did they also come for the bronze head?"

"I think it is, and, it seems, it doesn't look like someone from a certain family, but someone from a university or a museum." Lu Ning guessed the identities of these people.

"Hehe, it seems that you are not the only one who is eyeing the copper head this time."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I am bound to win." Compared with money, Master Lu has never been afraid of anyone.
