Chapter 336: The Dinner Party
On this day, the weather was a little gloomy, Zuo Xinxin and Jiang Yucheng arrived in Xiangcheng, and Zhou Haisheng came to pick them up as before.
The address of the dinner is at the place where the public welfare project entered the venue to hold the event, with a red carpet at the door and bright flower baskets on both sides.
Zuo Xinxin, as a participating designer, walks the work collection office, she needs to bring in the design draft, three views, finished products, etc., and submit them to the expert review after signing the work agreement.
After signing the agreement, Zuo Xinxin went to the main hall of the dinner under the leadership of the staff, and met the man she accidentally bumped into last time, the man looked hurried and didn't notice her.
Originally, it was just a one-sided relationship, and Zuo Xinxin didn't think much about it.
The dinner has begun, the hall resounded with the melodious sound of the piano, it turned out that someone was playing live on the high platform in the corner, under the gorgeous crystal chandelier, men in suits and leather shoes were staggered, talking and laughing, and graceful and luxurious women were in groups of three or five, discussing the latest fashionable topics.
Zuo Xinxin found Jiang Yucheng in the crowd at a glance, Zhou Haisheng didn't know where he went, Jiang Yucheng was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sitting elegantly at the table and drinking wine, from time to time someone came to toast him, the latter was also with an alienated and polite smile.
Just as Zuo Xinxin was about to pass, a man in a gray suit blocked her way.
The man is not good-looking, and he gives people a treacherous feeling, he looked at Zuo Xinxin's beauty greedily, and said: "This beautiful lady, I don't know if there is such an honor, please dance with me." ”
Accompanied by the sound of music, there were already many people dancing on the dance floor, some were partners, and some were people who looked at each other at the dinner party, and the man in front of him was obviously staring at Zuo Xinxin's prey.
There is a kind of clear temperament on his body, but there is softness between his eyebrows, he can enter this kind of dinner party, and he is young and beautiful, and he doesn't think it's a legitimate means to climb up.
And Zuo Xinxin looked at the man in front of her who was eager to eat herself, and frowned slightly, she naturally knew what this man was planning, but she didn't expect it to hit her on the head.
Does she still look like a rabbit?
Just as Zuo Xinxin was about to open her mouth to fight back, there was another hand in her sight.
Jiang Yucheng smiled and said in a low voice: "This beautiful young lady, can I invite you to dance?" ”
The treacherous man next to him was unhappy: "Mr. Jiang, everything is first-come, first-come, second-served, besides, you are all family members, which is not good." ”
Didn't this guy recognize her as a prospective fiancée?
Zuo Xinxin was unhappy.
She put her hand directly in Jiang Yucheng's broad palm, and smiled: "I have heard the name of Mr. Jiang earlier, it is really better to hear than to see." ”
The treacherous man's eyes widened: "He's a family man, you're ......"
Even if she is that kind of person, it is well known that Jiang Yucheng has a family, and it is too shameful to seduce her in public!
Jiang Yucheng snorted coldly: "If you want to talk, go back and look in the mirror and come back." ”
"My dear, what you say hurts your self-esteem.
Zuo Xinxin took Jiang Yucheng's arm and looked at the treacherous man very "gently", "I'm sorry, my fiancé doesn't talk like this to people." ”
Fiance?
The treacherous man looked, she is Jiang Yucheng's fiancée?!
???
What does it mean to speak to a person is not like this, he is not a person?!
The people present at the dinner were either rich or expensive, he knew Jiang Yucheng, but he would not be afraid, after all, all walks of life did not interfere with each other, there was no conflict of interest, so naturally there was nothing to be afraid of.
But now it's different, he actually accosted Jiang Yucheng's fiancée??
It's over......
The experts are judging in the background, and when the review is completed, they will be exhibited and auctioned at the dinner, so now is the time for all kinds of rich and noble people.
Zuo Xinxin and Jiang Yucheng sat down in their positions, she withdrew her arm, and the smile on her face was a little faint.
Jiang Yucheng was still immersed in the "dear" just now, and noticed that Zuo Xinxin looked a little unhappy, so he shook her hand: "What's wrong?" ”
"They all know that you have a fiancée......" Zuo Xinxin said sullenly, but he didn't know who his fiancée was and what she looked like.
There weren't many or few occasions they had attended before, but it didn't seem that there were many people who knew that she was his fiancée.
It turned out to be struggling with this.
Jiang Yucheng pinched Zuo Xinxin's face and smiled dotingly: "This is Xiangcheng, a coastal city, and it will take several hours to fly from City C." ”
Just like Jiang Yucheng's main territory is in City C, any entrepreneur in another city who has a fiancée may not be recognizable at a glance if he brings it over.
Seeing that Zuo Xinxin was still sullen, Jiang Yucheng hooked his lips and smiled: "It must be that you are too beautiful today and blinded the eyes of those people." ”
"Mr. Jiang is really good at pleasing girls."
At this time, Zhou Haisheng came over in a suit and sat down beside the two with a modest smile on his face.
Seeing him alone, Jiang Yucheng raised his eyebrows: "What about Mrs. Ling?" ”
Zhou Haisheng looked stunned: "My health is not very good, so I didn't come over." ”
As soon as Zhou Haisheng came, the atmosphere seemed to solidify a little, Zuo Xinxin ate a few pieces of fruit, and was taken away by the staff, it seems that the expert review is over.
Zhou Haisheng's tone was a little subtle: "The auction is about to start, will Mr. Jiang spend a lot of money for the beauty?" ”
Jiang Yucheng smiled but did not speak, watching Zuo Xinxin leave.
Unable to participate in the auction at the dinner, the participating designers were taken to 10 separate rooms, where sofa seats, drinks and snacks were readily available, and the LCD screen in front of them showed "Connecting".
Where is the connection, the dinner scene?
As soon as Zuo Xinxin ate a fruit, a page appeared on the screen, which was a close-up of ten jewelry designs, as well as expert voting rankings.
The tafia stone necklace surrounded by countless broken diamonds ranks sixth, and at the bottom of the photo is Zuo Xinxin's name for this necklace - Lost Tears
Zuo Xinxin was a little stunned, when she entered the finals, she was the last to enter, and this time she ranked sixth, to tell the truth, it exceeded her expectations.
At this point, Zuo Xinxin does not say that she is not looking forward to this auction, but also
There wasn't much nervousness, after all, no matter how many rankings she obtained, Zhou Haisheng had to tell her those things.
So, Zuo Xinxin ate and drank leisurely, not knowing that the people in the other rooms were nervous and didn't dare to look away.
In room No. 1, Song Nanzhi looked at the gem photo on the screen, and the first thing he saw was not his first-ranked ring, but the sixth-ranked lost tears.
This tafia stone, and this innovative setting technique, made him feel like he had seen it somewhere......
At the same time, the dinner site has presented ten gemstone exhibitions in front of everyone.
Ten display stands are arranged in a straight line, dividing the dinner scene into two parts, left and right, and buyers participating in the auction can freely watch.
Jiang Yucheng noticed that when everyone's eyes fell on the tenth display platform, there was a look of disbelief on their faces, Jiang Yucheng subconsciously looked at Zhou Haisheng, and found that the latter was looking at the red gem on the necklace obsessively, and the eyes and eyes seemed to be looking at his first love.
Jiang Yucheng frowned unconsciously.
Only watching, not communicating, this is the rule of the dinner, and Jiang Yucheng can't hear any information, so he can only judge from everyone's reactions that there is a problem with the tafia stone that Zhou Haisheng gave to Zuo Xinxin.
At least, eighty percent of the people present seemed to know each other.
This realization is not an ordinary understanding of this gem, but a different, deeper understanding.
And the display cabinet is also ranked according to the semi-finals, so Jiang Yucheng can't see the ranking of Zuo Xinxin's works after the expert vote.
At this time, the host's voice sounded: "In front of the buyers, is the finalist of the jewelry design competition, the expert voting has ended, next, we will start the auction link, please note that the amount you quote, will directly determine the final result of the work, whether you can keep the quota still, or whether it can be surpassed, the decision is in the hands of the buyers." ”
"So next, let me introduce you to the first one, the ring called Desert Island, this ring is made of ...... material."
Zuo Xinxin could hear the host's voice in the room, and the picture in front of her also changed to a close-up video of the first ring, and at the same time, an amount appeared on the right side of the screen.
Reserve price: 500W
Minimum markup: 20W
Ooh!
Zuo Xinxin paused as she ate a snack.
The ring in the video is exquisite and luxurious, at first glance, it is a special wedding ring for the trenchers, and the material used is also a rare diamond, but Zuo Xinxin is still frightened by the reserve price and the minimum markup.
The reserve price is already 500W, and the final transaction price must be at least 10 million.
There was no suspense, and the first-place ring was finally sold for 88 million.
It's an auspicious number.
Zuo Xinxin looked at the numbers on the screen, and felt that the first place in the final had been decided, not only the first, but even the remaining rankings were almost no suspense, after all, the strength was there, and where could the money be less.
Except for her, the people who attended the dinner party were estimated to be waving their hands.
Zuo Xinxin silently clutched her wallet and continued to watch the game.
The next auction was completed
The delivery price was not unexpected, the reserve price was all 500W, and the second transaction price was more than 50 million, the third was more than 40 million, and until the seventh place, the transaction price had reached 8 million.
Eight million, which is more than three million different from the floor price.
Only then did Zuo Xinxin realize that the order of the ranked works was the ranking of the finalists, and what they just saw was the ranking of the experts.
But these are not so important to her anymore.
When it came to the eighth place, Zuo Xinxin thought that the amount would stop at about eight million, but who knew that the amount would exceed ten million in one fell swoop, and there would even be an upward trend.
Zuo Xinxin's eyes widened slightly, could this be a dark horse?
Zuo Xinxin picked up another piece of fruit and watched the amount continue to rise while eating.
Wouldn't it be nice if the number on her bank card continued to rise as it does now?
Fifteen million, twenty-four million, thirty-seven million......
In less than three minutes, the amount was already approaching the third-place transaction price, and it was even rising.
Zuo Xinxin looked slumped, which big guy is this, there is nowhere to spend a lot of money?
In just five minutes, the amount exceeded 60 million, and finally stopped at 86 million, and the auction price was firmly in second place.
