I'm not a theatre god

Chen Ling slowly stopped in front of the auction venue.

"Special envoy, we will have dedicated personnel to count and store the items you need to send for auction. However, because there are too many, the evaluation will take about two or three days... Your resting room has been prepared. Please follow me." Gu Kaixian was kind and kind. 's voice sounded.

It seems that this is not the first time for the person in charge of the auction to receive the special envoy of the Gold Society. Both the communication with Chen Ling and the preparations done in advance were perfect.

Chen Ling glanced at the people behind him, slowly released his palms, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the auction venue.

Only then did the staff behind Gu Kaixian dare to step forward, temporarily cover the Jinshan Mountain with a piece of black cloth, and carefully push it in... It turned out that the height of the auction venue was less than half of the Jinshan Mountain. , and could only be forced to start splitting them one by one and sending them inward.

When Chen Ling and Jin Shan both disappeared at the door of the auction, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. Zong Wen waved in the direction where Chen Ling left and shouted sincerely:

"My special envoy, I will treat you to dinner tomorrow night~"

Lu Yuanzheng snorted coldly.

"Everyone is gone, what's the point of shouting?"

"What? Do you think the special envoy is you? You can't hear me when you are far away?"

"He won't go even if he hears it."

"Whether he goes or not is his business, and whether I invite him or not is my business." Zong Wen slowly walked up to Lu Yuanzheng, patted his shoulder in his suit, and said in a tone to a junior, "Young man People, when doing business, you can’t be too concerned about face.”

"Indeed, the Huadu Consortium has almost lost its face." Lu Yuanzheng sneered, "When the Liu Zhen incident broke out, the situation in your Huadu seems to be not good, right?"

The smile on Zong Wen's face froze slightly, and then slowly faded away, leaving only the coldness of poisonous snakes in his old eyes.

"Young man, don't be too crazy... Do you think you Dinglu have nothing to do with you?"

Lu Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Zong Wen. The bodyguards behind the two of them were on guard at the same time, and a sense of fear spread rapidly at the door of the auction!

…

Auction venue, ninth floor.

The spherical ice cubes collide gently in the glass, making a crisp sound, and the malty aroma of whiskey fills the air, intoxicating the soul.

In the reflection of the huge glass window, an ancient golden mask was reflected in the air, calmly overlooking the two groups of people at war with each other downstairs, with no emotion in his eyes.

"Special envoy, your goods have been arranged and are in the VIP storage room upstairs... Is there anything else you need?" Gu Kaixian stood behind him, bowing slightly, like an elegant and humble butler.

"Make a list of all the small and medium-sized pieces of gold in it for me."

Hearing these words, Gu Kaixian was slightly startled. After all, none of the previous envoys had ever had such a need. He was a little confused for a while, but he still nodded.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

"Wait a minute." Chen Ling paused and spoke again, "Bring me a newspaper. I want all the newspapers from the last two years in the main city of Hongchen."

"……yes."

Gu Kai turned around and left first.

As the door was closed, the dim room fell into dead silence. Chen Ling stood alone by the window, her eyes still staring at the two groups of people below, and an expression of interest appeared on her face behind the golden mask.

However, there was no fight between the two. After a stalemate for a while, they dispersed, leaving Chen Ling a little disappointed.

"How good it is to fight..."

For Chen Ling, the worse the relationship between these top financial groups, the better it is for him. It is best to be incompatible with each other. In this way, his own existence will be more important to them. Only Several major financial groups are frantically wooing him, so that he can have absolute control over the transaction.

Chen Ling withdrew her gaze and paced slowly in the luxurious and spacious room, as if she was thinking seriously about something.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Kaixian knocked on Chen Ling's door again.

The first thing that was handed to Chen Ling was a twelve-page list of goods, densely packed with hundreds of items, from gold necklaces and gold wine glasses to half-person-high gold chalices, almost everything, and each item was also marked. The respective gold weight, purity, and craftsmanship details were graded, and finally a special seal of the Hongchen Auction was stamped to show authority.

At the same time, there was a trolley filled with newspapers. The newspaper industry in the main city of Hongchen was developing very well. There were dozens of large and small newspaper offices. All the newspapers in the past two years were stacked up and looked quite impressive. Spectacular.

After Gu Kaixian left, Chen Ling sat back on the leather sofa, picked up a newspaper and started reading:

"Rising female singer Tian Jie is caught in the scandal of "Pornographic Photos"! The male protagonist turned out to be..."

Chen Ling:......

News with this kind of headline is not uncommon for Chen Ling. After all, there are some eye-catching entertainment tabloids in Aurora City. However, it is extremely difficult to get any useful information from here... He threw the newspaper to On the side, he took out another copy from the pile of another big newspaper. As soon as he saw the title, the corners of his mouth twitched crazily:

"A well-known male star is exposed to sleeping powder and relies on drugs to maintain function?" 》

"The new generation of trainees officially debuts, and the referendum begins! 》

"The actress fell in love with the paparazzi, and the purpose was to delete the black material. The relevant verdict will be heard today!" 》

Chen Ling couldn't help but stand up and flip through most of the newspapers. What he saw were all kinds of gossip or paparazzi photos. He didn't see any news related to people's livelihood or the situation... And these were the largest newspapers in the main city of Hongchen.

"It shouldn't be... How could it be like this?" Chen Ling couldn't understand.

After all, he was also a reporter. Although the Aurora Daily also reported gossip, it was only a very small section after all, which was a topic of conversation for the residents of Aurora City in their spare time. To be honest, from the human situation to exposing evil, to analyzing power... all of these should be there, and there are also reporters like Wen Shilin who have a strong sense of justice.

But the media in the Hongchen realm gave him a light and soft feeling, as if someone had put a layer of gauze on the sharp blade of public opinion, not only covering everyone's eyes, but also turning the blade silently and playing with it.

Chen Ling didn't believe it and continued to look through the newspapers, from the hottest major newspapers to the less popular tabloids. Finally, in a handful of newspapers that no one cared about, she found several different headlines:

"Aurora Realm collapsed, Dusk Society was condemned by everyone"

"Statistical survey: The average deposit of young people in the main city is actually negative? "

"Entertainment inducement and pre-consumption, what have they brought to this generation of young people? "

Chen Ling picked up these newspapers and read them carefully. She found that the latest issue had been discontinued a month ago. At the end of the page was an apology letter, saying that the newspaper was closed due to poor management, and the article about Dusk Society and the discussion of the possible crisis of the Red Dust Realm was the last printing of this newspaper.

The messy lace newspapers were scattered on the marble floor. Outside the French window, the long-burning lights were like stars embellishing the world, gradually charming the eyes.

Chen Ling stood among the newspapers scattered on the floor, holding a rough-made newspaper with blurred handwriting in his hand, and was silent for a long time.

He smiled suddenly, and his face behind the golden mask was full of sarcasm,

"It's really entertainment to death..."
