May 31.
Today is the day of the charity auction hosted by the auction house.
The auction event is set for seven thirty in the evening.
The event will be broadcast live throughout.
All staff members have specific duties, some managing the auction items, some handling the live broadcast equipment, while others arrange the on-site auction.
Qiao Yin, being new, is assigned by Lu Yanxi, along with another newcomer, as flexible staff members. They are tasked to remind or backfill as necessary when colleagues slip up.
Since it’s a high-end charity auction, quite a few celebrities have shown up.
Lu Yanxi, accompanied by Qiao Yin, is greeting everyone in the front hall.
Today Qiao Yin specifically reminded her not to call her Second Sister-in-law in public, calling her by name would be enough.
Lu Yanxi agreed.
Almost all of those attending the auction are dressed lavishly, exuding an air of high society.
Lu Yanxi has always been very adept at socializing, greeting and praising others with ease. She knows almost everyone and can have a conversation with anyone. Even when she meets someone unknown, she quickly forms a connection with them. Her etiquette is spot on, completely unphased; it’s apparent she’s been carefully cultivated by her family.
Qiao Yin lacks such social skills and has never experienced such an event, so she initially doesn’t know what to say.
However, she’s naturally intelligent. Being around Lu Yanxi, she quickly picks up a few useful techniques. Soon enough, she comfortably joins in entertaining the guests, sparingly adding a few words to keep the conversation going.
After guiding a batch of people to the auction room, taking advantage of a momentary lull, Lu Yanxi quietly says, “Second Sister-in-law, everyone seems especially interested in you, have you noticed?”
Qiao Yin doesn’t notice the attention: “I’m a new face here, looking twice at me is normal. I feel like everyone’s more interested in you. Especially the ladies attending the auction, they seem to adore you. They seem just short of matching you up with their sons.”
She isn’t exaggerating, at least four prominent ladies had explicitly expressed wanting her as their daughter-in-law.
However, they were all vaguely declined by Lu Yanxi.
“I already have someone in my heart, you know that right,
Second – Twin – Sis ter – in – law?”
There’s happiness on Lu Yanxi’s face: “And he’s willing to make the first move.
I think we can be together in the future. I have a strong premonition.”
Qiao Yin smiles: “That guy is really lucky, I’m even a little jealous.”
Lu Yanxi radiates with joy. After chatting for a bit, she goes off to greet the incoming guests.
The two are still busy when a familiar figure enters Qiao Yin’s line of sight.
She pauses for a moment before rushing up to greet him, “Young Master Mu, welcome, you’ve come. Right this way.”
Dongfang Mu, along with Secretary Wan, arrives in a fitting casual attire.
He looks at Qiao Yin’s surprisingly beautiful face, and speaks softly, “How are you? Are you adjusting well here?”
“I am, it’s great here, I quite like it.”
Qiao Yin had previously informed him that she would be working part-time at an auction house.
He quickly agreed, thinking it would be a good way to hide Qiao Yin’s abilities, which would make his trump card even more concealed.
“You really are a workaholic.”
Dongfang Mu, hearing that she actually likes it, shakes his head and smiles, “I’ve never seen a girl as dedicated to work as you.”
Qiao Yin also laughs a little, “Career is very important, of course I need to learn and strive while I’m young. In fact, there are many girls like me. My boss, Lu Yanxi, is also very dedicated and hardworking. Look at her, she’s running such a large auction house so brilliantly. She’s someone I look up to.”
Dongfang Mu glances at Lu Yanxi, who is chatting with others, and disagrees with her, “There’s no way it would have reached this level with just Lu Yanxi. There’s someone helping her. Her last name is Lu. Do you think people who come to her auction house are here for her? They’re here for the Lu family..”
