Enigma above Alpha

After the new year, the third Sunday in February is the opening day of Xinghui Auction.

Countless people who have booked tickets on this day come here in suspension cars or spaceships, hoping to buy what they want in the new year.

Due to the large number of people and the large land in Interstellar, whether it is mercenary groups, adventure groups or even star thieves, they have developed crazily. Auctions, an industry that looks awesome to laymen, are also spread all over Interstellar.

In the auction, you can buy precious luxury accessories, antiques, energy stones, energy devices, rare ores, mech parts, exotic beasts, exotic animal cores, medicinal plants, potions, unknown animals, unknown stones, unknown items, etc.

In the auction industry, the Gu family is the leader, firmly occupying the leading position.

At the gate of the auction, there were two young lads exchanging their gossip in mysterious words. It can be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

"There are rumors in the Tao that the current head of the Gu family, Gu Sanye, has at least twelve palaces in his harem, each of which is a beautiful and petite Omega, and they often change people, just like ancient emperors."

Another person clicked his tongue: "Wealthy and powerful, even having so many precious Omega, people like us are not envious."

The companion sighed seriously: "But it's not a good thing to serve Mr. Gu. My relative's cousin's nephew's friend is working for him. I heard that he is extremely cruel, and he is in various fields. Very open, very black-hearted..."

"real or fake?"

The two young people were still discussing enthusiastically. They didn't notice that a tall man walking behind them paused slightly. Immediately behind the man, an elite man in a suit and leather shoes adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice.

"Third Master, do we need to deal with these public opinions?"

Qin Zhou thought that what they were doing was a serious business, it couldn't be more white, and it was definitely not as demonized as in the legend, and the auction industry was still the focus of the higher-ups, so they were very serious. treat each other to build a harmonious society.

They came this time for inspection, because there have been several incidents of people going crazy in the auction house recently. After investigation, although those people took too many fake energy stones, it has nothing to do with their auction.

But Gu Sanye's eyeliner in this auction house reported something to them, so Gu Sanye came to make a surprise inspection in person, and at the same time warned the people in the other venues not to think that Emperor Shan Gao could do whatever he wanted.

It's best to come and kill the chickens and monkeys once.

Gu Jing glanced at the two chattering young men again, his voice was so weak that he couldn't hear the tone: "How many times this year?"

Qin Zhoue reflected on his own abilities, and sighed: "I have dealt with public opinion three times..." However, there are too many interstellar people, the crowd is extremely large, and they like to read novels about the ancient earth. There is really no way to demonize things.

It is like this every year, and Gu Jing doesn't expect to get a satisfactory answer from him, so he said: "This matter is postponed, let's check it out first."

The so-called body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, Qinzhou nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Gu Jing looked at his deputy. Qin Zhou was very capable in handling affairs. He was his second in command. He knew everything and worked with him since he was a child. He could trust him.

The problem is that he has too many auction venues, and the people below may be jealous of the profits after hanging around for a long time, and secretly bring all the unknown things to the auction, dirtying his venue.

Gu Sanye, like Qin Zhou, also thinks that their venue is a serious business...

Little do they know that in the eyes of the people above, the nature of the auction itself is not so serious, but the auctioneers are all voluntarily paying for it, and it is also an industry generated after entering the interstellar world, and the auction is also a semi-intermediary nature, maintaining Interests between adventure groups, expeditions, zoologists, and certain mysterious talents.

Over time, it was reluctantly included in the ranks of "business operations", and it was also registered at the Industrial and Commercial Office.

Gu Jing went in with a few cronies, leaving most of his staff outside. He walked around the half-circle auditorium and walked to the entrance behind the stage.

There were two guards standing at the entrance. When the guard saw them, he bowed his head and said hello: "Hello, third master, do you need us to notify the manager to come over?"

"No need." Gu Jing walked in, the two guards exchanged a tacit look, and continued to guard here as if nothing had happened.

Gu Jing first went to the goods warehouse, and met some people on the way, some showed panicked eyes, and some thought that the manager was going to be unlucky.

Gu Jing was strolling in the courtyard, and when he came to the door of the warehouse, he heard a voice.

"You are optimistic about the items here. Are the numbers marked? Don't make mistakes in a while."

"It's all good, don't worry about it."

"Everyone raised their spirits and worked hard for a while, and went to have a drink together after the auction ended successfully."

Then came the voice of the staff or thanking or discussing.

Gu Jing directly ignored the few people standing outside the warehouse and walked in. The first person to greet him was the supervisor who saw him: "Third Master."

Then the employees below all shouted "Third Master" tremblingly, their voices one after another, it sounded like mourning, and they didn't know what strange rumors they heard.

Gu Jing's complexion is as usual, but his facial features are stern, even if he doesn't show any displeasure, it still makes people feel that strangers should not get close.

One of the new employees quietly raised his eyes to look at the legendary man, and saw Mr. Gu wearing a black suit with all the buttons on the front of his breast unbuttoned. A thin white scarf was wrapped around the back of his neck to the waist of his waist On the side, there is quite the momentum of a big boss in the old Blue Star movie.

The rumors on the road really do not deceive me.

In Interstellar, this way refers to groups engaged in emerging businesses such as expeditions, adventure groups, exotic animal and medicinal plant picking groups, animal and plant research teams going to various planets, geological teams, and assessment teams—collectively known as wandering in Professionals in the universe.

The new employee just took one look and immediately lowered his head, lest Mr. Gu would find him peeping. It is said that Mr. Gu would exile the offending employees, so he was very cold and ruthless.

The supervisor took a few steps forward, stood at a distance not far away and lowered his eyebrows and asked obediently: "Does the third master want to see these goods?"

In fact, the warehouse manager of each venue is Gu Jing's confidant, more important than the manager. He will have access to all the auctioned items, but he has no right to adopt them. What is auctioned here is mainly subject to the approval of the manager.

One venue includes appraisal team, evaluation team, publicity department, transportation team, warehouse management, finance department, security, service, etc. Depending on the size of the venue, the number of employees ranges from [-] to [-].

"What's new?" Gu Jing asked. Fresh goods are things that were not there before but are now available, or things sent by new collaborators.

"Recently, the manager negotiated a red crystal business with someone." The supervisor led him to the red crystal energy stone box knowingly, opened it for Mr. Gu to check, and then called his subordinates to bring the "certificate" of the place of origin. "Bring it.

Red crystal is the newly discovered new energy, which can better replace green crystal energy stone. Energy stone can be used to absorb and restore mental and physical strength, and can also be used as power energy, which is almost pollution-free.

Each of the red crystals in this box is about the size of a ping-pong ball. It is bright red in color, dripping with blood, and shimmering with a jewel-like luster. It looks a bit mysterious and taboo.

"The color is good, there are few impurities, and it can directly absorb the recovery power." Qin Zhou squatted down and took one for observation, and passed one to Gu Sanye.

Gu Jing glanced down at the red crystal in the palm of his hand, he couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with this energy stone from the outside, even if it was checked manually, it couldn't be detected.

Fake energy stones can make people excited and improve their combat effectiveness. Usually, they are exactly the same as ordinary energy stones. Only when they are absorbed will the factors inside be activated, just like people in the past did not know that there were cells, neutrons, and ions. They can't find out the reason so far, so they can only use animal experiments to test whether it is safe, but the inspection time is too long and it is not suitable for trading.

Excessive absorption of fake energy stones will lead to mental mania, mental confusion, self-explosion and other signs, and the general way to judge real energy stones is to check the associated stones in the mine, so a "certificate" is required, and a video chip will be attached to the certificate, and A letter of guarantee from all responsible persons.

"Let's take a look at the certificate." Qin Zhou understood that even if he saw his eyes as cross-eyed, he couldn't distinguish the authenticity from the fake ones. There is another characteristic of those fake energy stones, that is, they are very good at misleading.

At this moment, the manager hurried in, with a three-point smile on his face: "Master, I didn't know you would come today, I'm sorry I'm late." He looked at the goods again, "Master Is there anything you fancy?"

"No." Even though Gu Jing said that, he didn't put down the red crystal in his hand, as if he was playing with it very interestedly. Qin Zhou felt that one was not good, so he stuffed another one for Gu Sanye, and two were just right.

The manager smiled, and casually ordered the supervisor: "Change the number of red crystals." Then he said to Gu Sanye, "We have been taking good care of the third master's room, and just now we hired someone to take care of the third master. "

The other party seemed impatient to let him get out of here.

Gu Jing nodded symbolically, but said: "Go to the VIP room."

"Okay, third master, please." The manager turned slightly, his eyes darkened slightly.

Gu Jing passed the manager and walked in front without changing his expression. This auction house also includes a ring-shaped building with more than a dozen floors behind. He usually lives on the top floor. He walked out of the passageway of the building and came to the VIP corridor of the auction house seats.

Before coming to the VIP room, the manager walked quickly and opened the door for him with a respectful attitude.

At this time, Gu Jing suddenly asked: "Where's the deputy manager?" Generally speaking, the manager and the deputy manager like to show their presence in front of him.

The manager paused, and quickly replied: "The deputy manager fell in love with an Omega, but was picked up by Mr. Zhao. I'm having a headache."

Gu Jing heard the words but did not express any opinion. When he walked into the room, he immediately smelled a trace of Omega pheromone, white orchid, fresh and pleasant.

There is a person beside the tea table who is clumsily making Kung Fu tea. This person should be the person that Manager Tang found.

Gu Jing glanced at the young man. He had black hair with some natural curls at the end. It looked soft and fluffy, making one want to reach out and stroke it. Omega turned his head as if sensing his gaze, revealing a pair of slightly dazed eyes. .

Gu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, the other party's eyes looked like a dark pink, but in fact they were light brown with a little pink, this kind of eyes only appeared in some special mixed blood, genetic mutation or genetic disease .

No matter who he is and where the manager found him, he does look like a little white rabbit, with beautiful eyebrows and fair skin, but unfortunately his appearance is too beautiful, revealing a faint sense of oppression.

Fortunately, the eyes are innocent.

"Third Master, this is Qiao Xin. I applied for the job today. I think this young man is pretty good." The manager quickly introduced them to them, and then urged Qiao Xin, "Hurry up and say hello to Third Master."

Everyone on the road knows that Mr. Gu likes to keep pets like little white rabbits, and they also have a beautiful appearance, beautiful eyes, multi-talented, can sing and dance, and can also adjust his mood.

Qiao Xin put down the teapot and stood up, with a smile in his eyes, folded his hands in front of him and called obediently: "Hi, third master, nice to meet you." The voice has the unique Qingyue of young people, which is also very pleasant .

The corners of Gu Jing's eyes twitched slightly when he saw his height, and when he was sitting, he didn't realize it, but when he stood up, he was about the same height as him, and his interest lost three points.

Suddenly Gu Jing raised his eyelids and ordered: "Turn around and have a look."

"Oh." Hearing this, Qiao Xin turned around obediently, as if very docile.

but……

When Gu Jing saw his back, he recalled that this person was just outside the auction and another Beta tried hard to slander him as a young man who was "difficult to serve, extremely cruel, very happy in all fields, and black-hearted".

interesting.

A vague smile appeared on Gu Jing's lips: "Qiao Xin? The name sounds nice."

"Thank you, Third Master, for your appreciation. I also think it's very nice." Qiao Xin bowed, smiling so warmly that the sunshine outside could be overshadowed.

Everyone: "..." Young people don't know how to be modest.

Gu Jing walked over and sat down, then raised his head to signal him: "Continue to make tea."

"Yes, third master." Qiao Xin sat down upright and concentrated on making tea. Although she was not skilled in her movements, she did not make mistakes.

Gu Jing swept from his face to his fingers, the fingers were long and slender, the skin was delicate, and there were no calluses at the tiger's mouth, but the skin at the tip of each finger was a little rough, which may be the result of hard work.

The manager also sat down with him, and Qin Zhou and the others also found their seats.

Gu Jing casually asked Qiao Xin: "Why do you want to apply here?"

Qiao Xin's movements stopped, he looked up, the smile on his face was like the gentle spring breeze in March, he said honestly: "Because of the money, my brother needs medical treatment, and the herbs are very expensive." A little depressed, looking pitiful.

Gu Jing's eyes couldn't be avoided, and he met him, thinking that the eyes like a little white rabbit are indeed very beautiful and rare, but this person does one thing in front of him and another behind his back.

The point is that the expression is still impeccable. If he hadn't heard Qiao Xin's slander at that time behind Qiao Xin's back, he would have been deceived by his appearance.

"What's wrong with your brother?" Gu Jing seemed to really want to gossip with Qiao Xin. Later, he even knew where Qiao Xin's hometown was. Qiao Xin's hometown was on the border, and he was a poor star.

Qiao Xin is also very good at pleasing people, knowing what Gu Sanye likes to hear, he can say what he wants to hear, which means talking nonsense when he sees people talking.

"I'm No.1 in the shooting list on the star network. I have time to compare with the third master."

"..." The manager listened for a long time but couldn't get in the conversation. He still thought that Qiao Xin was bragging, so he wanted to compare himself with the third master.

But he sat here for a long time, and he had some bad premonition. Gu Sanye seemed to be very interested in Qiao Xin, and kept chatting with him, as if he was delaying time.

Moreover, there was no way to contact the outside of this room, so Qin Zhou turned on the shielding device after entering.

The same is true of Qiao Xin, maybe because she wanted to hug her thigh and went crazy, she completely forgot his order, and kept trying to please Gu Sanye.
