After flirting with the cold and ruthless marshal, the entire intergalactic world started shipping t

With several hours to go before the auction began, everyone did their own thing for the time being.

Chuzhao and Ludwig followed Adolphus to his laboratory, presumably to discuss the parts further.

Wen Shumu was still wearing his staff uniform. Auctions are very formal occasions, and he really needed time to go back and get ready.

Upon learning that all four guests had an auction scheduled for the evening, Ke Mo hesitated for a moment before calling a meeting with the main creative team to discuss whether to invite the other guests as well.

The discussion naturally resulted in everyone participating.

It wasn't convenient to broadcast the ice-breaking process live, and the guests spent the rest of the time either working diligently or idly watching the game; they didn't participate in any group activities.

The auction tonight would be a good opportunity.

Komo was a little worried: "The admission tickets are easy to arrange, the main problem is that we need to negotiate the filming issue with Wilton Trading Company."

Filming is strictly prohibited at many auctions, not to mention that their programs are broadcast live. Although the main focus is on filming the guests, it is inevitable that the filming will involve various auction items.

Ying Xingfei suddenly popped up his terminal and tapped his finger a few times in the air, seemingly sending a message.

Less than a minute later, his terminal beeped.

"You can take pictures."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Perhaps because everyone's gazes were too astonished, Ying Xingfei explained calmly, "Wildon Trading Company is under the Ying Group."

After a long silence, Ke Mo suddenly called out, "Brother Ying!"

Then came the other staff members chanting "Brother Ying" in unison, echoing throughout the room like a gentle breeze.

Ying Xingfei: "..."

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes beneath his bangs. He looked at Ke Mo and nodded reservedly.

The Wilton Trading Post is located in the center of Narentis's main city. It is a round glass building that is only six stories high, which is considered short on this planet, but it occupies a considerable area.

As night fell, the trading house was the first to light up, with golden neon lights encircling the building, making it appear even more magnificent.

Wilton Trading House is unusually busy tonight because there are so many important guests.

The auctioneer, looking solemn, was adjusting his bow tie in front of the mirror.

He's been in this business for almost ten years and has hosted hundreds of auctions. He's quite experienced and composed, and it's been a long time since he's felt this nervous.

In the afternoon, the manager suddenly said that Marshal Ling and his wife would be attending the auction that evening, and that the two young mecha manufacturing experts, Chu Zhao and Ludwig, would also be coming with Master Adolphus.

This already requires him to be extremely alert and prepared.

Who knew that during dinner, he would be informed that President Ying would also be there, and that "Love's Star Journey" would be broadcasting live!

Good heavens, that's the hottest variety show right now, with billions of viewers watching each live stream.

Other employees at the trading house also looked serious, urgently increasing the scale of preparations for the auction.

At 8 p.m., dozens of miniature cameras from "Love's Star Journey" flew into Wilton Trading House, while several others waited outside for the upcoming guests.

Those who can attend the auction are all important figures, so the production team went all out, hiring three luxury hovercars to pick up the guests and take them to the venue.

There are only three cars because Chuzhao and Ludwig don't need them; they will come with Adolfs.

The media from Narentis Star, having heard the news, flocked to the main entrance of the trading house.

When Wen Shumu arrived at his destination, he saw the media gathering outside through the car window. His first thought was that it was good that he had gone back to change into a formal suit and tuxedo, and Xiao Jin had even given him a new haircut.

A solemn red carpet was laid out at the entrance, with uniformed guards standing straight on both sides of the carpet. Behind the guards were media reporters and photographers carrying various types of cameras.

This is not the first time Wen Shumu has walked the red carpet; the last time was on the first day of the live broadcast.

Last time, only the production crew was present, but this time there were many more outsiders.

Fortunately, Ling Suyu's guards tightly controlled the area around the red carpet. The media were eager to take pictures, but they could not get past the guards and could only quickly take a few pictures through the gaps in the human wall.

After getting out of the car, Ling Suyu was indifferent, not even glancing to either side, ignoring the shouts around him, and quickly passed by with Wen Shumu in his hand.

One of the newlywed photographers squeezed through the crowd for a long time and managed to take a few pictures, but they were either blurry or didn't capture the faces.

He sighed, feeling he couldn't possibly finish the assignment. With no hope left, he scrolled to the last page, his gaze suddenly becoming blank.

That was a close-up.

He had originally switched to a telephoto lens, intending to take a close-up shot of the two people's faces, but was jostled by his hurried colleagues, causing the lens to shift downwards and finally focus on the two people's clasped hands.

Their fingers were tightly intertwined, and the sapphire ring on the larger hand shone with a deep light under the flashing lights.

The photographer suddenly remembered that Marshal Ling seemed to have been wearing this ring at various events recently.

Why don't we just do a feature on the Marshals' wedding rings?

As soon as Marshal Ling and his wife entered, the guards immediately withdrew, and the media were finally able to take good pictures of the guests who got off the car behind them.

Ye Jingxi has been quite free these past two days. After all, the preliminary rounds are simulated combat, so there's basically no chance of any players getting injured. Whenever he has free time, he goes to Wen Wei, who is sitting in the audience, and watches the competition with him.

Wen Wei is probably even busier than Ye Jingxi. He does creative work and, like Adolphus, also finds inspiration in the games.

The Jiang brothers were probably the most relaxed group of guests.

After attending the opening ceremony, Jiang Xun went back to the hotel and slept for two days. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out and have fun, but his face and silver hair were too eye-catching, and he was easily harassed by fans wherever he went, so he simply stayed in the hotel to catch up on sleep.

Jiang Hong is a big fan of mecha games. Taking advantage of the opportunity to be Jiang Xun's assistant during the opening ceremony, she sneaked backstage, added many contestants as terminal friends, and took many group photos.

After two days of free time, the production team suddenly informed them that they would be participating in an event that evening, and they were all a little unaccustomed to it.

Once on the red carpet, Ye Jingxi and Wen Wei also slipped away very quickly, only a little slower than the Marshal and his wife.

As an artist, Jiang Hong needs to maintain his public image and respect the media. Facing so many cameras, he naturally put on his most photogenic smile, and he looked towards whichever side was shouting for him the loudest.

Jiang Xun, despite his status, is fearless. He stayed on the red carpet simply because he follows his younger brother wherever he goes.

As for Chuzhao and Ludwig, they did not walk the red carpet with the guests, but instead followed the master through a side door to enter discreetly.

The manager of Wilton Trading Company was already waiting at the door to greet the guests and personally escorted them to the auction venue.

On the way to the private room, Wen Shumu looked down at his hand, which was still being held tightly by Ling Suyu, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Did I miss something? I feel like Marshal Ling is being unusually clingy to Mu Mu lately.

[Isn't that normal? They're always holding hands when they appear in public, like on the day they went to Philemiel.]

That's true, but back then everyone thought they were faking it.

As soon as they arrived at the private room, a waiter in a tuxedo opened the door for them. Before they could even step inside, two shouts suddenly rang out from a short distance away.

"Big brother!" "Marshal!"
