She knew that when Ningrui's production capacity was developed, Xie Zheng and his friends escorted him behind the scenes. Otherwise, in the world of men, a woman would rush in to fight for territory, and it would have been defeated before it rose.

And Xu Ning is also because as Xie Zheng's wife, his career will be so smooth.

Society is actually a society of personal affection, and it is also a society that depends on the background. If you want to grow bigger, you need both strength, background and luck.

"Is your sister-in-law dressed properly?" Qin Zhao thought. She hadn't bought clothes for his wife for a long time, so she might as well take a picture of it herself.

"I made it according to my own size." Xu Ning's **** are relatively large, at least He Min is incomparable. The other party's life was hard since childhood, and the development of such girls would generally be affected.

Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, glanced at Xu Ning, and after a long time he hummed, "That's really picky."

Xu Ning couldn't help but smiled and slumped on Qin Zhao. "My sister-in-law knew that you would kneel on the washboard."

"Confidentiality!" Qin Zhao followed his cousin's words, "but there will still be a lot of people who buy it. It's not appropriate to go back and modify it slightly."

"Otherwise, forget it. I'll auction a case of wine. The auction ends at ten o'clock tonight, isn't it?"

Qin Zhao sighed, "I feel like he is going to bleed heavily tomorrow."

"Don't be stupid." Xu Ning patted him on the shoulder. "Every year the winery produces about one thousand two hundred cases of red wine, and a fixed auction of 1,000 cases, the winery will keep two hundred cases by itself, of which ten cases remain. To the winemaker and his wife of the winery, I will give two boxes to my parents. Your brother-in-law can drink two or three boxes in a year. The rest will be kept in the wine cellar. If you want to drink, I will give you two boxes in my room tonight. Take the box away, I brought four boxes of wine this time, and the remaining box is for Zhang Meng."

Qin Zhao put an arm around her shoulder and kissed the girl's forehead, "My sister is so generous."

At the Belgian red wine auction last year, the most expensive case of the red wine bottled by Ningrui Winery sold for 8 million US dollars, and an average bottle of wine was 800,000 US dollars. This is completely out of the sky. The rhythm of the pie is too profitable.

In fact, there are no less than 20 wineries in the country so far, but there are only three or five famous wineries. Ning Rui is the world's well-deserved wine emperor and is highly sought after and worshipped by wine lovers from all over the world. Like a believer, no one would say a bad thing, and they all looked religious.

He also likes to drink red wine, occasionally working late at night, returning home in the dead of night, drinking a glass of red wine will help sleep.

"How is the Qin family now?" Xu Ning asked suddenly.

Qin Zhao turned the ring on his ring finger and said casually: "I have asked four nurses to wait at home. The old man is already paralyzed, and the old lady is in good condition."

It's just not bad, but I often call and say I miss him, but the so-called miss will always end up crying overtly and secretly.

Qin Zhao is not irritable, just watching Liang Lu perform a scene from time to time with cold eyes, it is also interesting.

All the helpers in the Qin’s villa are from Qin Zhao. They only need to stay at home, and they will also give them a total of 20,000 yuan per month, and all they eat are from their own side. Account, that's it, still groaning about lack of money.

He has observed that since Qin Xiang got married, although he often quarreled with her husband, the other party looked at his own face and did not divorce Qin Xiang. Qin Zhao didn’t know whether he had raised a woman outside, even if he did. It doesn't matter, no matter how Qin Xiang cries, Qin Zhao always feels that he is really cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and will never feel distressed again.

His parents...that's it, after all, they are all getting old, Qin Tianlang is in good health, but Lu Yanjun was sent to a mental hospital by him two years ago.

When Xu Ning heard this, he asked a little puzzled: "How could it be sent to such a place?"

"Naturally, it was sent to him when he was sick." Qin Zhao leaned on the sofa, his legs folded, his posture was graceful and calm, but he revealed a touch of laziness.

"I suddenly became ill two years ago and almost didn't kill Qin Tianlang. Later, the doctor diagnosed and treated it because of bipolar disorder." Qin Zhao's lips were sneered, "I don't know exactly how it happened, but it's just a matter of days. It’s not going well, I use too much my mind, I have to think about everything, and drive myself crazy."

Xu Ning didn't know Qin Zhao's true thoughts, at least for her, how Lu Yanjun had nothing to do with her, even if this woman was her aunt.

But for such an aunt who had never been in contact with, and was even disgusted by the other party, Xu Ning couldn't bear the slightest feeling of pity.

"Have you seen her?" Xu Ning asked.

Qin Zhao turned his head to look at her, curled his lips and smiled: "Do you think I should visit her?"

"I'm not you, how do I know?" Xu Ning rolled her eyes.

Qin Zhao couldn't help but smile a little, and hooked Xu Ning's neck, letting her lean on his shoulder, "Sure enough, you are my real sister."

"Who is your sister?" Xu Ning struggled twice without shaking Qin Zhao's strength, and then gave up.

He patted Xu Ning's shoulder lightly, and said in a steady voice: "Many people I know told me that no matter what misunderstanding Lu Yanjun and I have or anything else, I will always be her son. Now she is sent to a mental illness. I should go to see her in the hospital. To me, these people are farting. What do they know? The blood relatives can be indifferent and even cut off. Isn’t that the way those two old things treat my aunt? Lu Yanjun is also a very scheming person. The Lu family fell down very early, but somehow left her a large dowry, so she married to the Qin family. In fact, she has no sense of security, but the so-called sense of security is nothing. It's the product of my own random thoughts. I don't have the ability but it comes down to the man, and then gave birth to me to consolidate this sense of security. To put it nicely, I am her son, but in fact it is just a tool to consolidate herself. Such a woman, Why should I look at her. Asking for money, I will give it. Asking for my filial piety and other things, it has long since ceased to exist."

"Sad?" Xu Ning asked.

"It's strange, it's not sad at all. It seems that he is a stranger." Qin Zhao chuckled lightly, bent down and picked up a fruit plate on the table and stuffed it into Xu Ning's hand. "Go to my house to sleep at night? Look at your two. Little nephew."

"Tomorrow night, I will sleep here tonight, the auction... Oh no, I will go to see it the day after tomorrow, and there will be a dinner tomorrow night. I have a headache when I think about it. I don’t bother to move. Sweet go dance."

"It's up to you."

The two brothers and sisters were chatting here, but no discerning people came together.

Seeing the two people who are close to each other, people who don't know will think wildly, whispering to the people around me behind today, and then learn that these two people are actually cousins, and then completely shut up.

Now in the new era, you can't get married within the fifth service. Half of your blood is flowing in your body. Of course, it's no different from your brothers and sisters. Besides, people are in a dark corner, which doesn't interfere with anyone.

The charity dinner was accompanied by domestic singers. Today, Xu Ning saw a lot of singers he knew, all of whom were popular stars in the 1980s and 1990s. He heard almost all the songs, and even hummed a few words along with them.

Qin Zhao looked at the girl who seemed to be playing very happily, holding a glass of red wine, leaning on the sofa and sipping slowly, occasionally seeing the girl's joyous look, his mood would become very happy.

He really liked this sister very much. From the first time he saw Xu Ning, he kept looking for the familiar shadow of his aunt in this girl, but she did not. She is not a substitute for her aunt, she is herself. , Xu Ning, an ordinary but extraordinary girl.

Dare to love and hate, like to fight, not arrogant, not hypocritical, slender but insensitive, passion but just right, always like a glass of warm water, whenever you meet her, you will give people a very comfortable feeling.

He didn't know that this girl would bear such an important weight in his life, but he was delighted with her appearance and existence, allowing him to be accompanied by such a relative of the same age in his indifferent and cold-blooded life.

After the dinner, Qin Zhao sent her to the door of the room, then turned and left.

The younger sister is very important, just as important as the wife and children. He has to go home to accompany the little princess and the two young masters.

After washing her tired body, Xu Ning picked up the phone and dialed the number at home. After talking to her dear husband viscously for almost half an hour, she hung up the phone with a happy smile and fell asleep.

Tomorrow there is still a tough battle to be fought, and we must recharge our energy.

In the morning, Jiang Yue ordered a breakfast, both Chinese and Western.

"You actually like western food?" Seeing Jiang Yue holding cheese, Xu Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Yue said, "I just want to try what a western breakfast looks like, but I don't like drinking pure milk, and the egg is actually not cooked. You see, Mr. Xu, the egg yolk looks like this."

Qin Feng laughed and said, "People like this. Don't you know that there is also a delicacy in our country called soft-boiled eggs? Egg yolks are runny."

"I know, it's just that I don't eat it, but I didn't expect the fried egg to be like this. It was cooked through." Jiang Yue was embarrassed to throw away the slice of fried egg in the middle of the cheese, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. Go down, finally drink the milk in the quilt, and then pour a large glass of water. This is the end, "I won't eat it anymore."

"I don't recommend it either. After all, there is no salmonella in boiled eggs. It's okay to eat it once in a while. It's not good for the body to eat regularly." Xu Ning is a medical student. She wants to eat fried eggs abroad and makes them by herself. , Even if you go out to eat with Donna and the others, it's hardly easy to eat.

"Then the next door country directly beats raw eggs into rice and eats it."

"Yes, right, right, and directly beat the raw eggs into a wine glass to drink."

Xu Ning looked at the two Gang Jing subordinates, helplessly, "Okay, we will organize a tour in our company at the end of the year. I will take you to see the difference between the eggs in the country and the neighboring countries."

When the two heard it, they blinked together.

"Traveling abroad? Public expense?"

"Nonsense!" Xu Ning rolled his eyes at the two of them, hurry up and eat, the auction is going on at nine o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Yue rubbed his elbow against Qin Feng, "Do you have a passport?"

"No, I have to go back to handle it. I heard that it will be soon." Qin Feng was also excited, no way, since he was young, he hasn't really traveled abroad at public expense.

Although the two had followed Xu Ning several times before, the most important thing was that they didn’t have fun at all because of their work. Sometimes the boss asked them to go shopping and hurriedly helped the colleagues in the office bring something. I was afraid that the boss would urge to go back with a call.

It's fine now. At the end of the year, they can go out to relax and play completely. Should they eat the delicacies of the next country or go to various hot springs.

I heard that there is a mixed bath for men and women over there. I was a little excited.

No, it's super exciting.

Xu Ning finally waited until the two of them chatted and finished their breakfast, and when they returned to the room, they began to change into "combat uniforms", and then took the two to the auction house on the sixth floor.

When you came here, the big guys who came to participate in the charity auction were queuing up. The receptionist at the door checked the invitation letter, stamped it, and then sent you a catalog of the lot.

Xu Ning came in line, looked around and saw Qin Zhao's position in the second row in front. She stepped on stiletto silver high-heeled shoes and swayed to him and sat down.

"Mr Xu, you are so bold this time, you actually took out a box of Ningrui red wine for auction?" A middle-aged man with a round figure behind saw Xu Ning and greeted her with a smile.

"No way, who asked me to do this, and it's not appropriate for me to take out cosmetics." Xu Ning said with a smile, "What is Mr. Guo taking out?"

With that said, Xu Ning opened the lot catalog and found the lot sent by the other party. This manager Guo is in the jade business, and the lot must be good.

"A set of jade jewelry, is Mr. Xu interested?"

When Xu Ning saw the photo above, she didn't understand the knowledge of jade, and she only knew emeralds in the impression. After all, the name is still often heard.

"This is an ice-like clear water jadeite, and its value is still very good." Qin Zhao said to Xu Ning after seeing it.

When Xu Ning looked at the picture, it was a three-piece set, pendant, earrings and bracelet. The color was faint and transparent and seemed to be a very shallow water color. It was very elegant. She liked it very much.

"Mr. Guo, are there any better ones in your store? For example, emeralds?" She wants to buy a set for her grandma, but the old man doesn’t have a set of jewelry. Now she only wears silver earrings, or a lot of them. Years, they have been worn black.

Mr. Guo was stunned: "The price is expensive. The quality that Mr. Xu wants must be guaranteed, right? A good set costs several million."

Xu Ning thought it was worth hundreds of millions. She has forgotten the current prices and times. Of course, the best jade has a price but no market, which is understandable.

According to Mr. Guo's ability, these millions are also very good.

"Then Mr. Guo will help me see. I want two sets. At least they don't need to be the same. They can be distinguished somewhat."

"Violet is also very good. Xu always prepares it for the elders in the family? This color is also very elegant." Mr. Guo made an idea.

Xu Ning nodded, "Okay, then Mr. Guo will be troublesome. We need these two sets. You can call me when you are ready."

"Yes, no problem." Mr. Guo didn't expect that with such interruptions, he actually made a sale.

He definitely wouldn't open his mouth to Xu Ning's lion. Obviously Mr. Qin knows how much this is. If Xu Ning is spread out, he won't need his face.

In this circle, reputation is very important, otherwise it will only be difficult, and he really dare not offend Xu Ning, one is because of Qin Zhao, the other is Xie Zheng.

In doing business, the duty point is not bad anyway.

Soon, as soon as nine o’clock arrived, the auction began. Today’s auctioneer is a very beautiful woman. Needless to say, to be able to do this business must be proficient in mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene. The auctioneer can pay more.

The first lot is a calligraphy and painting, probably from the late Ming Dynasty. It is not everyone's work, but it is also very collectable.

After all, if it is a genuine antique calligraphy and painting, no one can bear to sell it. At least the author of the calligraphy and painting, Xu Ning has never heard of it.

However, since it can appear at the auction, it means that it has been appraised by experts, and it must be authentic.

Although not all authentic works are valuable.

The calligraphy and painting with a starting price of 100,000 yuan was eventually sold at 460,000 yuan, which was a good start for this auction, and the preheating was very successful.

A total of 18 lots were auctioned in the morning, including a set of very good quality purple clay teapots, which was photographed by Xu Ning, ready to take home to make tea for Grandpa.

The lunch at noon is still in the Tysen Group, but it is not as grand as last night. It is just concentrated in the restaurant on the first floor. You can order what you want, and the organizer will check out at the end.

Of course, these big bosses with millions and tens of millions of net worth will not care about this little money.

The price of this purple clay pot is very high. Xu Ning spent more than 600,000 yuan to get it. The contemporary purple clay master Lu Mingxian made this purple clay pot. He has more than 50 years of purple clay pottery experience. The purple clay pots produced this time have been robbed by people at high prices, and it can be said that a pot is hard to find.

The set of purple clay pots in Xu Ning's hands now has a total of six cups, and it is certified by the signature book of Mr. Lu Mingxian. It is undoubtedly authentic. And even if Xu Ning does not understand this, you can know when you see this set of purple clay pots. Exquisite craftsmanship, this is not a set of purple clay pots, but a handicraft.

This set of pots is complemented by their tea. I don't know how much the taste will be refined. I want to try it.

The auction continued in the afternoon, and Qin Zhao finally raised the sign calmly after seeing the previous lot.

Xu Ning smiled at the corner of her lips when she saw it. The lot in front of her was a set of gold jewelry.

"I'll take it, and you will take it back to my aunt." Qin Zhao whispered in Xu Ning's ear.

Xu Ning smiled and nodded, "Thank you cousin."

"You're welcome."
