"Can't it be any cheaper?"
Ji Xiaoli tried to bargain with the system, but the system seemed to freeze and didn't reply at all.
Ji Xiaoli, who originally wanted to gain some benefits by acting coquettishly, could only keep silent.
After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to decline this time.
She wouldn't exchange for a completely unknown piece of information without knowing anything.
If there was an emergency in the future when she needed to use her good - luck points, she might not have enough.
She had always been very cautious with the remaining good - luck points and tried not to use them.
[Player, are you sure you don't want to use it? That's really a pity.]
Although the system still reported in a very mechanical way, Ji Xiaoli could hear a hint of regret from it.
It was just a system, yet it seemed to have human emotions. Ji Xiaoli felt a bit speechless.
Ji Xiaoli: Why don't you be more flexible and make it cheaper?
But even though Ji Xiaoli said so, the system started to play dead again.
Seeing that the exhibition was about to start today, Ji Xiaoli didn't bother with the system anymore. She prepared to meet some big bosses here.
Maybe she could even negotiate some deals for Zheng Nanfeng.
"Look, that's my previous material supplier over there. I'll go and say hello. Do you want to come with me?"
Zheng Nanfeng looked ahead and suddenly spotted an acquaintance. Out of business courtesy, he had to go and say hello.
Ji Xiaoli felt a bit bored. "You go ahead. It's not really appropriate for me to get involved in your business matters."
Sometimes she was very intimate with Zheng Nanfeng, and sometimes she would draw a clear line.
After all, they were his business partners, and it would seem unsteady for her to go there.
Zheng Nanfeng nodded, then left Ji Xiaoli and walked towards the supplier.
After all, this was Jack's exhibition, and no one would dare to do anything unexpected at such an exhibition.
So Zheng Nanfeng was very relieved about Ji Xiaoli.
Bored Ji Xiaoli decided to take a stroll around the exhibition. From time to time, someone would come over to greet her.
Obviously, these people had also seen that Instagram post today.
Just as she was about to reach the entrance of the exhibition, she saw that familiar figure.
Tom walked in. After looking around for a while, he actually took a drink on his own initiative and walked towards Ji Xiaoli.
Judging from the direction he was walking, he seemed to be coming towards her.
"Those who offer favors for no reason are up to no good." Ji Xiaoli instinctively became defensive.
"Ms. Ji Xiaoli, I apologize for what happened at the auction last time. I was too reckless."
Tom actually spoke to Ji Xiaoli very politely and wanted to hand her the drink in his hand.
All the drinks here were carefully prepared by Jack. Since it was an exhibition, it seemed inappropriate to drink red wine.
Of course, this drink was no ordinary thing. It was said to be juice squeezed from the fruits and vegetables grown on Jack's own farm.
The fruits and vegetables grown by such a big investor would be worth a lot of money even if they were sold simply.
"What does Tom want to do?"
From a distance, Jess noticed Tom's movements and thought something was wrong.
He knew what his cousin usually had in mind. After suffering so many losses, he had been on guard against him for a long time.
Now seeing Tom trying to target Ji Xiaoli, he naturally felt something was wrong instinctively.
"What are you doing here? I don't remember Jack inviting you."
Jess was right. After all, Jack also knew that Jess didn't get along well with those two.
Since Jack had invited Jess, as a tactful person, he naturally wouldn't invite Tom.
After thinking about it, there must be something wrong with Tom's invitation letter.
But since Tom dared to stand here openly, maybe he had used some proper means to get in.
However, Tom arrogantly raised his head. "Since you're here, why can't I be here?"
Jess looked at the cup in Tom's hand. The drink in it was cherry - tomato juice squeezed from cherry tomatoes.
The red cup made it impossible to tell whether anything had been added to it.
"Why should I take this drink from you? Do you think you can apologize to me with this?"
Ji Xiaoli curled her lips, seemingly dissatisfied with the situation.
Tom didn't expect Ji Xiaoli to say that, but he quickly reacted.
"If you want other forms of apology, I have a lot of antiques for you to choose from. As long as you agree to accept them."
There was a hint of pleading in his tone, as if he really knew he was wrong.
But Ji Xiaoli still thought something was wrong. After all, the system had said that Tom had ill intentions.
No matter how well a person tried to cover up, they couldn't escape the system's eyes.
"Forget it. I don't like cherry - tomato juice."
Ji Xiaoli casually made up an excuse to brush him off, but Tom didn't believe it.
At this time, Tom's hand was still held high, as if he wanted Ji Xiaoli to take the cup.
There were so many people coming and going, and everyone was looking this way.
Originally, as an Eastern face at a Western banquet, Ji Xiaoli was already easy to attract attention.
Not to mention Tom's blatant actions at this moment, which were like telling people that there was something going on here.
"Ji Xiaoli, let's go and look at other works." Jess said as he tried to get Ji Xiaoli to leave.
Ji Xiaoli was about to follow Jess's suggestion and leave together, but Tom blocked their way.
"What's wrong? I've already apologized to you. Why don't you accept it properly?"
As he said this, Tom even handed the drink in front of Ji Xiaoli, almost shoving the cup into her mouth.
There was a fake smile on Tom's face. "Have a drink. There are so many people here. Do you think I would harm you?"
[Player, be careful. The person has ill intentions.]
This person really had a problem.
Looking at Tom's fearless look, Ji Xiaoli had a guess.
I'm afraid the stuff in this drink won't take effect immediately, but will only kick in after a certain period of time.
Just then, Jack, who had just finished receiving another distinguished guest, walked back.
Seeing the situation here, he frowned. Ji Xiaoli was his honored guest. How could someone come and pester her?
He looked like a hooligan on the street. How could such a person be allowed to appear at his exhibition?
Such an elegant exhibition was naturally for people who understood art.
From a distance, seeing Jack coming, Tom, who felt guilty, quickly wanted to leave, but Ji Xiaoli snatched the cup.
"It's just juice. What's so special about it?"
As Ji Xiaoli said this, she held the juice up under the dazzling lights and looked at the inside.
The light refracted from the bright red juice was also red. It was a pity that the juice was squeezed too thickly.
It seemed that the chef who made this juice didn't slack off at all and didn't cut any corners.
But in this way, it was impossible to tell if there was anything wrong with it.
The system quickly gave an answer.
[Player, be careful. There's something in this drink.]
