"Yes!"
A young woman in a black ladies' suit entered, followed by two men, each carrying a tray. On the first tray lay two invitations. On the second was a solid gold bank card engraved with a city wall winding like a dragon. Behind the wall was a natural landscape of forests and rivers.
"Mister Xu, my name is Lin Fang. We're staff from the auction house. We are here to verify the invitation Mr. Zhou Hongsheng gave you and to exchange it." Lin Fang bowed slightly and presented her identification.
After Xu Ke confirmed it was authentic, he nodded, took out Zhou Hongsheng's invitation, and handed it over. She retrieved a verification tool, and after confirming it, handed Xu Ke an invitation bearing his own name. This verification process was meant to prevent people from using fake invitations and to save Xu Ke some trouble when entering the auction the day after tomorrow.
