Chapter 332 Red Leaves Seen Again Across the Miles
An auction was the reason why Shimizu Koji and Mine Fujiko first met, but perhaps, for Mine Fujiko, this so-called meeting was more appropriately described as a feud.
Ritz-Carlton Auction House, an internationally renowned auction house, is said to have once had a record of a sky-high auction of 300 million US dollars. Compared with this number, the money in Shimizu Koji's pocket is indeed not enough.
More than 5 billion Japanese yen, according to the current exchange rate, is about 40 to 50 million US dollars. This is the last auction held at the end of the century. It is said that Ritz-Carlton Auction House spent more than five years just preparing the auction items. Whether it is the gems that Shimizu Koji or Mine Fujiko like, in fact, they are just an ordinary part of this auction.
The auction house is a grand building, like a huge opera house. The outer walls are pure white plaster walls. The first floor is about seven or eight meters high, which looks very imposing. The people who come and go here are rich and noble. They wear luxurious velvet dresses and black knitted dresses like brocade. Just by looking at their clothes, you can deeply feel the class gap.
"Is your invitation letter okay?"
Even though it was Shimizu Koji, he couldn't help but lower his voice and confirm with Fujiko Mine beside him again.
If it is a fake and is found out, it would be too embarrassing.
Moreover, Shimizu Koji, it can't be said that he has a premonition, it can be said that it is inevitable that Fujiko Mine will lay a mine for him on this day that Fujiko Mine has been waiting for.
However, Fujiko Mine will naturally not cheat in terms of the admission ticket. She smiled and nodded, her movements were elegant, like a lady, but no one would have thought that this lady woke Shimizu Koji up in the evening.
Because they were late and there were probably many people entering, they spent ten minutes queuing up. By the time Shimizu Koji and Mine Fujiko entered the auction hall, the entire venue was almost full.
If they had come later, they might have had to stand. After all, an invitation letter can be used by three people at most, and the organizers would not say how many seats would be prepared. If they came late, they would have to stand. Anyway, the real VIPs all have their own independent boxes.
It was bustling, just like the morning market. In fact, these wealthy people with a net worth of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions are no different from ordinary people. Most people are just lucky.
Are there any kings, princes, generals, and ministers? The old nobles are fat and big-eared, with the same mouth and two eyes, but they are not as good-looking as the ticket checkers outside. That is, the female companions of these people are more beautiful than each other.
After sitting down with Mine Fujiko, the two of them tacitly did not speak again, but just quietly waited for the auction to begin.
What Shimizu Koji didn't know was that when he sat down, it wasn't just Fujiko Mine beside him who was thinking, but there were other people in the VIP boxes on the high platforms on both sides who were thinking.
Who was that? Koji-kun?
On the terrace of the VIP seats, Ooka Hongye, who was overlooking the venue, was wearing a pink dress with billowing waves. Although she was not as beautiful as Fujiko Mine and Vermouth, she also had a unique plump beauty of a girl.
She looked suspicious. Since she saw Shimizu Koji's figure, she couldn't move her eyes away. Because the distance was a bit far, Ooka Hongye observed for a long time before finally confirming that it was really Shimizu Koji, not a lookalike.
As for how she confirmed it?
It can be said to be intuition, or it can be said that it was the eyesight accumulated by taking out Shimizu Koji's photos and looking at them for a long time recently.
"Sister Hongye, what are you looking at?"
"Hmm? No, nothing, I just saw - a friend."
After considering it for a while, Ooka Hongye did not choose to use the word "husband" to introduce Shimizu Koji, because there was no need. Although she had a good chat with Miss Elizabeth IV in front of her these two days, the two of them were just ordinary friends who knew each other because of family interests.
Ooka Hongye did not need to declare her love to everyone. If Shimizu Koji could not see it, then all these could be omitted.
"Friend?" Elizabeth blinked curiously, "Is it a very good friend? Then Sister Hongye, do you want someone to bring your friend up?"
Elizabeth did not have any bad intentions. She was only thirteen years old. She valued Ooka Hongye, the eldest daughter of the Japanese chaebol, very much, not only because of Ooka Hongye's family, but also because she really got along well with Ooka Hongye, and even learned a lot of new things and concepts.
Therefore, if Ooka Hongye nodded, she really wouldn't care about the impoliteness of a friend bringing a friend. In fact, she was very curious and concerned about what kind of person the friend who made Ooka Hongye, who was always gentle and elegant in front of her, lose his mind.
Ask Shimizu Koji to come up?
To be honest, this idea really didn't appear in Ooka Hongye's mind just now, but after Elizabeth mentioned it, this idea lingered.
Although Ooka Hongye knew without thinking that there was a high probability that she would be rejected, she was also very curious about why Shimizu Koji appeared here and what kind of relationship he had with the woman next to him.
Yes, that's right, Ooka Hongye's eyes were not blind, and she naturally saw Fujiko Mine next to Shimizu Koji, so she hesitated for a long time before confirming it.
Because Mine Fujiko didn’t look like a girlfriend of the same age as Shimizu Koji, but the distance between the two seemed very close. The reason why Ooka Momiji was absent-minded was mainly due to this reason, not Because I couldn’t walk after seeing Koji Shimizu.
It’s not like your husband will run away, but these women of unknown origin can really drag your future husband away.
"Well, then, I will disturb you Elizabeth and cause you trouble."
"Giggle~~, Sister Hongye is too polite."
Elizabeth giggled, looking innocent and smart.
And her eyes turned with a hint of cunning, "Sister Hongye, is she a male friend?" Elizabeth asked guessing.
The curiosity on her face was barely concealed. Although she sounded a little young, it was normal to have a boyfriend in the UK if it wasn't for her identity.
Faced with Elizabeth's curiosity, Ooka Momiji nodded gracefully in response. At the same time, she looked serious and looked at Elizabeth again, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you just now. In fact, he is my future husband. "
Elizabeth's little eyes suddenly opened wide. Boyfriend and husband are two completely different concepts!
There was a hint of blush on her little face, but inside, she was even more excited and curious. Of course, it was very pure and sincere curiosity.
As soon as she turned her head, Elizabeth rang the pager. Not long after, the door to the VIP room was opened, and a waiter in an auction house uniform walked in quickly with his head lowered.
As soon as they met, he knelt down on one knee, put one hand on his chest, and greeted Elizabeth: "Your Majesty, your Royal Highness, what are your orders?"
"Please go and get it."
