The two found a place to have a meal. After they arrived, Wen Sining still felt that there was something fishy about this matter. However, all they could do now was wait for the others to show their true colors gradually. This kind of thing couldn't be rushed.
The next day, they went to the company.
As soon as they arrived at the company, Jin Yihao knocked on the door and came in. There was an invitation card in his hand.
"Mr. Lu, this is an invitation from the Veges auction that will be held tonight." Jin Yihao placed two invitation cards on Lu Luochen's desk.
He brought them here because Lu Luochen had attended the Veges auction every year. This time, it was themed on jewelry, and many of the items were designed by famous designers.
Lu Luochen picked up the invitation and asked while looking at it, "What are the items up for auction this time?"
If there was nothing he liked, he would just go through the motions and come back.
"These." As he spoke, Jin Yihao turned on the tablet in his hand and handed it to Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen put down the tablet and opened it. He looked at the items up for auction and didn't find something that interested him until he scrolled to the end.
"The Heart of Eternity." It was a necklace. As soon as Lu Luochen saw this necklace, he inexplicably thought of Wen Sining. Only she was suitable for this thing. This was his goal for going to the auction tonight.
"Mr. Lu, do you need me to contact someone to reserve it for you?" Jin Yihao had looked at the items up for auction in advance.
Lu Luochen shook his head. "No need." He wanted to bid for it himself and give it to Wen Sining. That would be more meaningful.
Jin Yihao nodded.
"By the way, how's the situation with the workers' strike at Anhong Group?" Yesterday, he had just paid the overdue wages and sent people to suppress the matter online. He didn't know the current result yet.
"The matter online was suppressed yesterday. But since it had caused quite a stir before, there are still a small number of people paying attention to it." Jin Yihao said.
"Okay, I see." The internet has a short memory. Those people would soon forget about this matter.
Lu Luochen glanced at the time on the invitation, then took out his phone and called Wen Sining. The call was quickly answered.
"Hello, what's up?" Wen Sining asked as soon as she answered the call.
"The Veges auction has invited me, but I'd like to attend it with you." He was going to bid for something for Wen Sining, so he naturally wanted to go with her.
"I've received the invitation too." Wen Sining glanced at the invitation that was placed in the corner of her desk. She rarely attended such auctions. Originally, she had planned to let Donna represent the group to attend this one. But since Lu Luochen had already asked, there was no need for her to say anything.
"Then may I have the honor to invite you to attend it with me?" Lu Luochen deliberately said it in a joking tone.
"Sure." Wen Sining readily agreed.
The auction was to be held at the Shengshi International Hotel at 6 p.m. "I'll pick you up at 3 p.m. to get a makeover."
Wen Sining agreed.
After making the appointment, they hung up the phone.
As soon as Wen Sining hung up the phone, Donna came in with a document. Seeing the smile that hadn't faded from Wen Sining's face, she joked, "Oh! Who were you on the phone with, our Ms. Wen?" She looked at the phone that Wen Sining still held in her hand.
"Lu Luochen." Wen Sining told the truth. There was no need for her to hide anything in front of her.
"No wonder." Donna placed the document that needed her signature on the table.
Wen Sining opened it, took a quick look, and signed her name on the last page.
"I'll leave first." Donna picked up the signed document and pointed outside.
Wen Sining nodded.
Time quickly passed to 3 p.m. Wen Sining had lunch in the company cafeteria. The food in the company was good, but she didn't often eat there.
Lu Luochen's car stopped downstairs on time, and Wen Sining came down from the building.
"You're so punctual." Wen Sining looked at the time. It was exactly 3 p.m.
"Of course. Let's go." Lu Luochen waited for her to get in and then started the car.
Wen Sining looked out of the window and then at Lu Luochen who was driving. She said, "I didn't expect you to attend auctions."
While paying attention to the road conditions ahead, Lu Luochen asked, "Then what kind of events do you think I'd attend?"
Wen Sining pretended to think for a while and then said, "Business receptions."
Lu Luochen smiled when he heard this.
They drove to a styling studio. They often came to this place.
After they went in, someone came to receive them. Wen Sining sat down in front of the dressing mirror.
She had a good complexion and didn't need much makeup. The stylist just slightly curled her shoulder-length hair, and it naturally fell on her shoulders.
"Mr. Lu, the evening gowns are here." A clerk pulled a rack over. There were several evening gowns hanging on it. By this time, Wen Sining's makeup was almost done.
Lu Luochen walked towards her. Looking at her in the mirror, he asked, "Which one do you like?"
Wen Sining looked over and pointed at the evening gown in the middle. "This one."
The clerk took it out, and Wen Sining went to try it on.
It was troublesome to put on the evening gown. She only managed to put it on with the help of the clerk.
After she came out, the top part of the dress was purple, and the bottom part was a black tutu. Layer upon layer of lace and the embellishment of pink roses gave it a unique feeling, swaying a charming curve. She had a delicate oval face, curly hair close to her cheeks, and slightly upturned red lips.
This evening gown seemed to be tailor-made for Wen Sining. It fit her perfectly. A pair of black high heels matched the dress.
She was already tall, and after putting on the dress, her figure looked even more slender.
Lu Luochen stepped forward and let her hold on to his arm. Then he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You look so beautiful today."
"Only today? Does that mean I wasn't good-looking before?" Wen Sining said.
Lu Luochen immediately denied it. "You've always been beautiful. So beautiful that there's no room for other women in my eyes."
"I didn't realize you've become so glib." Wen Sining glanced at Lu Luochen.
Lu Luochen smiled.
There was still an hour before the auction started. "Shall we go and eat something to fill our stomachs first?"
After hearing this, Wen Sining looked at the way they were dressed. "Do you think it's appropriate for us to go and eat like this?" One was wearing an evening gown, and the other was wearing a suit.
Reminded by her, Lu Luochen finally realized. "Then let's wait. We'll eat at the auction."
Wen Sining nodded. Fortunately, she had eaten some snacks while getting the makeover.
