The auction started up again once Zhou Lihua stepped onto the stage. She gave the crowd a delicate smile that could inflame a man’s soul. Quite a few in attendance hollered and whistled at her.
“I hope you all had a pleasant break,” said Zhou Lihua. The crowd roared again. She smiled and gestured for them to settle down, speaking only once everyone had calmed themselves. “That is good. I’m glad your break was so delightful. Now, then, we are nearing the end of this auction. I decided to save the original star attraction for last.”
Zhou Wen once more came onto the stage, pushing a cart with a tarp over it to hide whatever was being auctioned from view.
