1679 There’s an Auction Later That You Might Be Interested In
The Independent Continent’s cocktail party was no different from the ones in Beijing.
It was an occasion for influential people to socialize.
Nie Mi and Master Cheng brought Qiao Nian around to get to know everyone. After a round, she changed three types of drinks in her wine glass.
Finally, Qiao Nian met the last person. Nie Mi brought her to meet Master Cheng and the others.
On the way back, Nie Mi placed the wine glass on the tray of a passing waiter. Then, he turned to the nonchalant girl and said, “Nian Nian, do you remember the people I introduced you to just now?”
Qiao Nian nodded casually. “Yes.”
Seeing Nie Mi’s serious expression, she fell silent for half a second before placing the glass on the waiter’s tray. She clapped her hands and stuffed them into her pockets. “I remember.”
“Mm. It’s good that you remember!” Nie Mi had always been at ease with her. His gaze was far-reaching. “Those people just now are all from the Independent Continent. They might be able to help you in the future. With them around, you can at least get in touch with the Independent Continent.”
Qiao Nian looked up, her dark eyes clear and bright. She didn’t say anything, tacitly acknowledging his good intentions. “I know.”
“I know you usually know more than me, but it’s not easy to form connections in the Independent Continent. With this opportunity, I still want to bring you to meet more people. If you have the chance to come into contact with this circle in the future, you won’t be unfamiliar with everyone…” Nie Mi rambled on.
Qiao Nian listened to him obediently.
Dressed in black and wearing a cap, she looked cold and cool. She was especially eye-catching at such a high-end cocktail party! Qiao Nian had lowered the brim of her cap, hiding half of her face in the shadows. Unfortunately, her aura was too eye-catching.
“Oh, yes.”
Halfway through, Nie Mi quickly walked back to Master Cheng, Jiang Zongjin, and the others. Seeming to have thought of something, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned to the girl beside him, and said, “There’s an auction later. You can see if there’s anything you want to buy.”
Qiao Nian had been bored to death ever since she entered the venue. She wasn’t interested in anything.
It was not until Nie Mi mentioned the auction that she became interested. She raised her eyebrows. “Auction?”
“Yes.” Nie Mi smiled. “This can be considered a specialty of the Independent Continent’s cocktail party! The latter half of the party will be an auction. The items auctioned are usually the collections of the organizers. Some good things will occasionally come out.”
“Mm-hm.”
“Don’t you like strange things? You can take a look later. There might be something you’re interested in!”
Qiao Nian didn’t know if there would be anything she was interested in, but Nie Mi’s sudden mention of the auction still piqued her interest.
…
On the other side, almost at the same time.
A scar-faced man entered the cocktail party with an invitation letter in his hand. He did not go around trying to build connections like the others.
Instead, he found an inconspicuous corner and took a glass of water. He leaned against the wall and observed his surroundings.
“Brother Xi, that Torre is over there.” The companion he brought in was the first to spot his target and gestured with his chin.
“Don’t be so obvious. Be careful not to be discovered,” Mo Xi reminded him as he casually looked in the direction his companion was pointing at.
He didn’t see Torre.
Halfway through, he was attracted by a girl’s tall and slender back.
The other party’s aura was too unique.
He recognized her at a glance as the person he met in the lobby two days ago.
