Chapter 23: Competition

After entertaining Li Yue, Liu Teng hurriedly went to entertain Xiao Chen.

After all, this is the eldest lady Liang Yuexi personally told her to be a distinguished guest who must be seriously entertained.

"Alas, the eldest lady is afraid that she will be carried away by some sweet words. This surnamed Xiao is definitely not a good match. Remembering that outside the villa before, Xiao Chen took the initiative to steal the limelight with Li Yue by relying on Liang Yuexi's relationship, and Liu Teng shook his head for a while.

Who is Li Yue?

Even if their entire Liang family faces Li Yue, they have to give her three points.

And Xiao Chen, but he didn't know what method to use to capture the heart of the eldest lady, and he dared to be so arrogant.

"If the old man knew about this, he would never agree." Liu Teng said secretly in his heart.

Obviously, he, like Wang Jia, thinks that Xiao Chen and Liang Yuexi are boyfriend and girlfriend. Everything before was Liang Yuexi's own assertion.

But no matter what, after all, it was Liang Yuexi's order. He doesn't care too much about servants, just do as he is told.

At that moment, Liu Teng opened his mouth to introduce Xiao Chen: "The treasures here are all brought by Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi is a friend of Miss Li Yue, and because Miss Li Yue said hello, this appreciation meeting was held in our Longteng Villa. ”

As he spoke, he introduced to Xiao Chen the treasures placed in the exhibition cabinet.

The so-called treasure is actually just a bunch of antiques.

What blue and white porcelain, what Tang Yin's authentic handwritings, ancient bronze swords and the like.

Xiao Chen was not interested in these, and he came here this time with a clear purpose.

So soon, Xiao Chen interrupted Liu Teng, "I heard Yuexi say that there is a Qingying Stone at today's exhibition. I don't know, where? ”

"Blue Stygian Stone?" Liu Teng was slightly stunned.

After thinking for a moment, I remembered, "Oh, you mean that cyan stone, right?" It is not on public display, but it will be put up for auction at a later auction. ”

"If Mr. Xiao likes it, just take a picture. The eldest lady instructed that the cost of the auction should be counted on the head of our Liang family. ”

"She has a heart." Xiao Chen smiled, but he was not excited.

Money is just a string of numbers for him, and Xiao Chen is not lacking.

"Then take me to the auction, I'm not interested in anything else." Xiao Chen said directly.

"Yes, please come with me." Liu Teng agreed, and directly took Xiao Chen to the depths of Longteng Villa, in a separate room.

Among them, it has already been arranged to look like an auction.

Moreover, at this time, there were already many people seated.

Liu Teng invited Xiao Chen to the front row of seats, sat down, and then retired.

Seeing this, many people all whispered, "Who is that?" I sat at the front! ”

In the front row, there are only two positions.

It is said that one of the seats was reserved for Li Yue to sit. can sit in another position, I am afraid that no matter how bad the status is, it will not be much worse than Li Yue.

At least, they are all the heads or heirs of the five wealthy families in Linzhou.

But Xiao Chen, a completely unfamiliar face, dared to sit in that position?

At this time, there was another commotion not far away, "It's Li Yue here!" ”

"She doesn't come out on this kind of noisy occasions, and when I heard she was coming, I thought it was just a rumor. Unexpectedly, she actually came. ”

It seems that no matter where he goes, Li Yue is the focus of everyone's attention.

As soon as she walked in, she attracted a lot of attention, and almost everyone started talking.

And Li Yue walked straight to the front and sat down on the seat next to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen ignored her.

This woman, even if she has some means, can't get into Xiao Chen's eyes.

He was only here for the green stone.

It was Li Yue, who suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Your Excellency's surname is Xiao?" ”

"Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen nodded slightly towards Li Yue.

"So, Mr. Xiao also has a subordinate named Qin Shan?" Li Yue smiled slightly, looking at Xiao Chen, but his eyes were calm and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"Looks like you've already looked into it." Xiao Chen does not deny it, and he has no fear.

Just one Li Yue is not enough to make him jealous.

As for Li Yue's investigation, let her investigate. Her identity, just a Li Yue, how can she be qualified to find out the slightest bit of information?

Seeing that Xiao Chen did not deny it, even Li Yue's eyes flashed slightly.

At this time, there was already a host on stage, and the auction began.

At the beginning, what was auctioned was just a few antiques, and Xiao Chen was not interested.

Li Yue has never made a bid, as if she came here to give face to her friends, not to buy something.

Finally, when it came to the fifth auction item, the staff took out a tray with a cyan stone on the tray, which was the blue stone.

"Sure enough, it's the Blue Stone!" Xiao Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

The blue stone in front of him was the size of a baby's head, much larger than the one in the Liang family.

"If I refine this piece of Blue Stone, my injuries should be able to recover about one or two percent. When the time comes, you will have no scruples. Xiao Chen's heart said secretly.

At this time, the host had already quoted the reserve price of this blue stone, "This stone contains a mysterious power, which is very valuable for research." ”

"The reserve price is three million, and each time the price is raised, it shall not be less than 100,000."

At this time, Wang Jia, Jiang Yunhao and others happened to come in from outside.

Hearing the host's offer, they were suddenly stunned, "Tsk, a stone sells for three million?" Crazy! ”

Jiang Yunhao shook his head even more, "Only fools will buy it." ”

But at this time, suddenly a voice came out, "Three and a half million." ”

Hearing that voice, Wang Jia and the others hurriedly looked over and saw Xiao Chen.

"Sure enough, it's a fool." Jiang Yunhao sneered, looking at Xiao Chen's eyes, there was a hint of jealousy.

In fact, he was stunned by the previous scene.

However, almost as soon as his words fell, another voice came out, "Four million! ”

This time, Jiang Yunhao didn't dare to speak.

Because this time the quote was made by Li Yue, who was sitting next to Xiao Chen.

Even if he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, he didn't dare to scold Li Yue in public for being a fool.

"Why is Li Yue interested in a stone?" Not only Jiang Yunhao, but also the others present were all puzzled.

Even Xiao Chen frowned slightly.

This blue stone is of no use to ordinary people. Li Yue bought it, what did she want to do?

However, Xiao Chen is determined to win this, and although Li Yue is rich, it is not enough to compare with him.

At that moment, Xiao Chen quoted again, "Five million." ”

"Ten million!" Li Yue lightly raised the offer card, and then smiled at Xiao Chen.

At this moment, everyone heard some gunpowder.

And Xiao Chen also reacted, it turned out that Li Yue was actually targeting him.

"Twenty million!" Xiao Chen shook his head.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Xiao Chen with strange faces. Just a stone, and it got 20 million?

Moreover, Xiao Chen doubled the price in one breath and directly increased it by 10 million.

At the same time, many people whispered again, "What is the origin of that kid, who dares to compete with Li Yue?" ”

"Heh, it also depends on whether he has the capital. The assets in Li Yue's hands are more than tens of billions? There is the support of the Zhou family behind him. This kid wants to fight with Li Yue, but it's not half a star. ”

Wang Jia and Jiang Yunhao also looked at Xiao Chen with a sneer.

Even if Xiao Chen didn't know any mysterious identity, even the people of Longteng Villa greeted him so politely.

However, even if the entire Liang family is inferior to Li Yue, let alone a mere Xiao Chen.

They even secretly thought in their hearts that it was best to let Xiao Chen anger Li Yue. When the time comes, it will be enough for Xiao Chen to drink a pot.

Only Qiao Xue was a little worried in her heart.

Not to mention that Xiao Chen couldn't take out so much money, even if he really overpowered Li Yue and competed for the cyan stone from Li Yue's hands.

But it is really unwise to offend Li Yue because of just a cyan stone.

If Li Yue retaliated against Xiao Chen because of this, it would be worth the loss.

At the same time, Liu Teng on the side also frowned, and his impression of Xiao Chen was even worse.

Because in his opinion, Xiao Chen must be because of his previous sentence that if he bought anything, the cost would be calculated on the head of the Liang family, so he would quote so arbitrarily.

Xiao Chen is so ignorant, where is the Liang family wronged?

At that moment, he directly commanded the person beside him: "If the price is within 30 million later, the cost will be counted on the head of our Liang family." But if the price exceeds 30 million, let him settle it himself. ”

"Miss, I'll naturally say it. Even if the relationship between him and the eldest lady is not ordinary, he is not the uncle of our Liang family now! ”
