The handsome young man at the second table to my right nodded to me sideways, as if he was responding to me on purpose, as if he knew me.

Then he picked up the offer card on his table and held it up to the auctioneer in the middle.

Then the auctioneer in the middle said, "Mr. 024 bid 2.01 million Asian dollars." ”

At this time, the people attending the dinner looked at our two tables, and everyone noticed that there were people fighting in this auction.

Quite a few people whispered about it below.

The middle-aged man at the table behind me said, "Hey, it's the first time I've seen someone snatch something from a charity dinner auction!"

"Yes, whoever jumps to bid, basically no one will snatch it, these two are very out of line today!"

Another woman said, "I think they have money to burn! What kind of bracelet can't be bought outside?"

"I think they're hyping it up! Get a bracelet to grab it, and make a show of the company at the charity dinner. ”

"Look, that 018 is bidding again, it looks like there's going to be a lot of excitement tonight. A middle-aged man reminded a few people at the same table.

At this time, I picked up the quotation card and said to the quotation clerk on the left: "I will pay 3 million Asian dollars." ”

This time, the quotation clerk on the left already knew that only the two of us were bidding, so he looked directly at the handsome young man No. 024 and said excitedly: "Mr. No. 018 has bid 3 million."

The guests at the surrounding table also looked at the handsome young man No. 024, waiting for him to raise his bid.

At this time, the handsome young man turned his head and looked at me with a smile, continued to raise the quotation card, and said directly to me: "I will pay 3.01 million Asian dollars." ”

Zhao Xiaocheng stood up suddenly, pointed at the handsome young man and asked, "Are you sick?"

"What are you, dare you talk to our boss like that!" followed by a few slaps on the table.

It turned out to be a handsome young man, and more than a dozen subordinates in black suits and flower shirts stood up at the table, and they looked at Zhao Xiaocheng with angry eyes one by one.

"You bunch of straw bales, are there so many people, master, I'll cry to you for a while? Believe it or not?" Ye Ming also stood up and scolded with his finger at the dozen or so people.

"Do you hairy children know who our boss is? Why don't you go home and look in the mirror to see how many pounds and taels you have, are you brothers?" said a middle-aged man in a flower shirt to a dozen people who stood up.

Among the more than a dozen people who stood up, a gray-haired young man pointed to our table and said:

"That's right, if it weren't for the inconvenience at this charity dinner today, I would have killed a few of you little bunnies a long time ago!"

"What are you talking about, looking for death!" Zhao Xiaocheng said and planned to take off his suit jacket and go up to clean up those people!

My face was calm, and I pulled Zhao Xiaocheng and Ye Ming and said, "You two calm down, sit down first, don't be angry with those people, if there is any problem, let's talk about it when we go out." ”

At this time, the military attache Gao Bo at our table also stood up, intending to step forward to help, but was stopped by Director Gao Hui with his hand and said: "You don't need to be familiar with them, you don't need to make a move on this little thing, sit down." ”

I didn't pay attention to the people at the second table, but took the quotation card and said to the quotation clerk on the left: "I will pay 5 million Asian dollars." ”

Someone at the nearby table exclaimed: "No. 018 actually bid 5 million, which is ten times the price of this pair of jade bracelets!"

When the handsome young man saw that I was bidding again, he stood up and patted the table and said to the people around him: "You still don't sit down? What kind of quality do you have? Shame on me here!"

The men bowed their heads after being reprimanded, and sat back in their chairs one by one.

Then the handsome young man picked up a glass of wine on the table and saluted me: "A gentleman does not take the favor of others, since you like this pair of jade bracelets very much, then I will not bid again." ”

After speaking, he nodded to me with a wine glass, and then raised his head and took a sip of the wine.

I picked up the champagne glass in front of the table and drank it down.

At this time, the bidder on the left said: "We would like to thank Chairman Zhao from the Thousand Friendship Foundation for his charity donation, and finally won a pair of jade bracelets for 5 million." ”

The waiter on the right side of the podium with a jade bracelet came up to me and placed the jade bracelets on two wooden pallets in front of my desk.

Behind him, a waiter walked up to me with a credit card machine, and I swiped 5 million Asian dollars with my own card.

After the payment was successful, I glanced at the balance on the card, which was 882.6 million Asian dollars.

I took one of the jade bracelets in my hand, took Feng Xiaoyan's hand, and personally put it on her left wrist.

Feng Xiaoyan didn't look at the jade bracelet on her wrist, but looked at me affectionately and didn't say a word to me.

My heart was beating when Feng Xiaoyan saw me, and I didn't know what to say.

I thought to myself: this is where silence is better than sound!

"Brother Aoxiong, don't discharge here, the whole dinner will be a light bulb conference in a while!" Wang Meng looked at me and Feng Xiaoyan with a wicked smile on her face and said.

I didn't feel anything, but Feng Xiaoyan was shy by Wang Meng's words, and her little face was flushed at the moment.

I handed another bracelet to Wang Meng and said, "This bracelet is for you, just one for each of you sisters." ”

"Brother Aoxiong, don't you put it on for me yourself?"

"You don't want to be a light bulb yourself, do you want others to be a light bulb!" After speaking, I put the jade bracelet on Wang Meng's hand and turned to look at the auctioneer on the podium.

There were many ladies who participated in the charity dinner this time, and many of them were holding their male companions around us and looking at us.

A beautiful woman in her twenties at the table behind me was pulling the fat man in her fifties next to her and said:

"Look at people, spend 5 million to win a smile, you don't even blink your eyes, you look at yourself again, you can't afford to buy me a bag of 300,000 yuan!"

The fat man in his fifties retorted impatiently: "He's good, why are you still following me?"

"That's what you said! I'll change people immediately, I'll make you cows and horses every day, what have you done for me!" said the beautiful woman in her twenties, standing up and preparing to leave the place.

"Yunyun, don't go, I didn't actually tell you, after we attend this dinner in a while, I'll take you to the mall to buy the bag you like!"

"Really, I knew you were the best for me!"

I heard the conversation between these two people clearly, and I didn't expect that buying the right jade bracelet would bring a quarrel to others!

I'm also very ashamed!

I thought of the handsome young man at the table next to me, and I felt that his bid with me would not be unintentional, and I would see if he would continue to buy something else.

If he doesn't buy it, wait a minute I'm bidding on an item and see if he'll grab it from me, so I can know if he's targeting me or not.

Then the third lot was a purple sand teapot, which was auctioned by President Liu of Longjing Tengyue Group for 1.5 million Asian dollars.

The fourth lot is a string of ivory Buddha beads, which was auctioned by Manager Niu of Blue Sky Green Tree Mountain Tourism Company for 1.1 million Asian dollars.

The fifth piece is an abstract painting, which was auctioned by the president of MG Maison Group for 8.8 million Asian dollars.

During this period, the handsome young man did not raise a bidding card once.

Now I feel like I can buy another item, and if that handsome young man also bids with me, it means that he has come to target me today.

At this time, the quotation man in the middle of the podium said: "One of the most special charitable donations of the day was given by Lucien Freud himself. ”

Then a video video was played from the curtain, and inside was an old man in his eighties, with a resolute face, gloomy eyes, and a body that looked quite muscular.

He said with a serious face: "I know that Professor Li Yizhong has gone to Antarctica several times for the future of the earth, and one of his lovers disappeared and died during the Antarctic expedition."

"He sacrificed a lot for the future and the environment of all our humanity, never for monetary returns, and many businessmen offered him well-paid positions, but he rejected them one by one,"

"He just wants to find a new clean energy source for human beings that can replace heavy pollution, so as his friend, I will donate a chance for me to paint, portraits, landscapes, and interested friends can take this opportunity.

I think the starting price is 5 million Asian dollars, and this money will be donated to Professor Li Yizhong to fund his next Antarctic expedition. ”

After the old man finished speaking, the screen on the curtain automatically turned off.

At this time, the quotation clerk standing in the middle of the podium said: "There should be some friends sitting there who don't know who this person is on the screen, why his paintings are so valuable!"

His name was Lucian Freud, and he was a European expressionist painter who preferred portraiture.

His 1995 painting "The Sleeping Welfare Executive" sold for 17 million euros, equivalent to 340 million Asian dollars, which is also the highest number of paintings by a living artist in the world!

Lucien Freud is hailed in Europe as one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century,

One of the things that people talk about most about him is that a queen of Europe asked him to help him paint a portrait of himself for six years.

In the end, when he agreed, the Queen went to his studio herself, 11 times, and finally spent only a 35-centimeter-square self-portrait for the Queen!

Finally, after the queen released her self-portrait, it caused strong controversy among European royal families, nobles, and people.

Even so, this portrait of the Queen is treasured by the royal family in its exclusive collection.

So this opportunity today is very rare, and I hope you can grasp this opportunity!"

While listening to the quotations in the venue, I used the corner of my eye to pay attention to the handsome young man's actions to see if he was interested in this portrait.

At this time, the quotation in the market has been as high as 11.5 million Asian dollars.

I felt that the time was ripe, so I held up the quotation sign and said to the quotation clerk on the left: "I will pay 13 million Asian dollars." ”

"Mr. 018 bids 13 million Asian dollars!" The quote on the left quickly announced my price.

At this moment, as soon as I made a bid, the guests at all tables of the dinner turned their eyes to me, and most of them had anticipation, envy, jealousy, and excitement.

There are also many women who have started whispering.

At the table behind me was a woman in a gray evening gown, who was whispering to her male companion:

"Husband, look at the front, No. 018 has bid again, I don't know if No. 024 will make another move and compete with him in a while. ”

"Well, there is this possibility, after all, the jade bracelet was a lot, the two of them were on the bar, and finally 024 gave up, which is equivalent to losing face here, looking at his age is the age of blood and strength, he should compete with 018 to save some face. ”

The woman in the gray evening dress pointed to the side and said, "Husband, look, No. 024 is really bidding!"

At this time, the waiter in the middle of the podium shouted: "Mr. 024 bids 13.1 million Asian dollars." ”

As soon as the people around heard that No. 024 had bid again, all the people who attended the dinner party cheered up and knew that a good show was about to start again.

The woman in the gray evening dress said to the male partner next to her: "Husband, this time will definitely be more exciting than last time, the last auction was only a few hundred thousand, this two of them have just bidd, it is already 13.1 million Asian yuan, hehehe, I am looking forward to it." ”

"Hey, Chairman Zhao No. 018, what are you thinking about? Is there no money?"

I looked to the right for the voice, wondering who owed it so much.

It turned out to be table 024, and the handsome young man's subordinates were provoking me.

The man, wearing a shirt with red and green petals, looked at me and continued, "Why are you looking at me? ”

A young man next to him said: "Yes, if you don't have money, don't be afraid, when my eldest brother is looking for that master to paint, you can stand next to my eldest brother and draw you in the background, this painting is your share!"

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen people at their table began to laugh out loud.
