Chapter 70: The Fat Fish That Bites the Hook
The joy on Cao Wanrou's face had not had time to fully bloom before she was interrupted by Gu Yi'an's sudden shouting, listening to the familiar voice and looking back at who was so uninteresting, she looked at Gu Yi'an with a smile instead of a smile.
Looking at Sun Hua, who was sitting in the front row staring at Master Rose's painting "Sleep", Cao Wanrou knew that this was her only chance.
Finally found out that Sun Hua's recent crazy infatuation with the mysterious painter Rose's paintings will appear in domestic auctions for the first time, in order to make the other party accept her as a disciple, in order to redeem the recent negative image, Cao Wanrou did not hesitate to put down her body to please Huang Miao to get the auction invitation.
And Cao Chuanfeng also made it clear that the funds that can be used this time are about 40 million. used a large amount of money to make Cao Wanrou a disciple of Sun Hua, not only to elevate Cao Wanrou's status in the art world, but also to make Cao Wanrou take advantage of this shareholder wind to turn around.
If this step is right, it is not impossible to enter the international market in the future, and Cao Chuanfeng will also completely get rid of the reputation of developing by sucking the blood of his wife.
Therefore, this is Cao Wanrou's last chance, and if she succeeds, she will be able to turn into a promising young painter, and if she fails, she will be a chess piece with no use value in front of her father, who only knows interests.
It is also Cao Chuanfeng's last chance, if he can't catch Sun Hua's east wind now, and can't beat the name of Sun Hua's disciple's family business, the internal situation of Cao Chuanfeng's Cao family enterprise is grim, I'm afraid that he can only reduce the scale and shrink forever, and this 40 million is also all the cash flow that Cao Chuanfeng can mobilize.
Originally, when they heard that 26 million was about to be traded, Cao Wanrou and Cao Chuanfeng were relieved, but they didn't expect to make a trip to bite the gold halfway.
When she knew that the owner of the voice was Gu Yi'an, Cao Wanrou was just about to scold, but she came to her senses under Song Nana's reminder, Cao Wanrou couldn't help but be afraid, if she really lost her temper on this occasion, I am afraid that she would really lose her identity as a disciple of Sun Hua.
Looking at Cao Wanrou, who was in shock, thinking about the limited flow of funds in his hand, and knowing that he couldn't let Cao Wanrou rush ahead, Cao Chuanfeng showed a restrained look at Gu Yi'an, and then raised his card: "31 million." ”
Gu Yi'an was not afraid at all: "35 million." ”
As soon as Gu Yi'an's words fell, he saw Cao Chuanfeng turn around suddenly, staring at him viciously, and then quickly hid his expression, not even caring about the rules in the auction room, and forcibly interrupted the auction process:
"Hehehe, everyone, the little girl is informable. A while ago, I ran away from home in anger, but I didn't expect to see it at the auction today, and we started to make trouble. She doesn't even have 1 million in her hand, let alone 35 million. Xiao An, don't lose your temper with your father, your father loves you and Xiaorou the same. ”
Gu Yi'an could hear other people's whispers, some said that Cao's company caused a storm a while ago, and some people who knew the truth and falsehood of the Cao family's daughter were disdainful of Gu Yi'an, who grew up in the countryside.
Xu heard the discussion that was not conducive to Gu Yi'an, Cao Wanrou also suppressed the schadenfreude in her heart, made a sad appearance, and showed the helplessness of an adopted daughter to the fullest, even Sun Hua couldn't help but look away from staring at "Sleep", handed a tissue to Cao Wanrou, and secretly sighed in her heart that her fate was bumpy.
Gu Yi'an took everything in his eyes, and was speechless to Sun Hua, a romantic painter who does not eat fireworks in the world, such a simple performance can't be distinguished, and he can get a trace of pity from Sun Hua, and Cao Wanrou has one more chance of becoming his disciple, I'm afraid Cao Wanrou should also thank herself for giving her this opportunity.
Facing everyone's different eyes, Gu Yi'an just wanted to open his mouth and ask the conference staff to verify his capital, when he heard someone humane:
"It stands to reason that someone Xu shouldn't get involved in other people's family affairs, but the little girl and the dog have a lot of relationship with Gu Yi'an, so I'll be fair here.
Not to mention that the relationship between Gu Xiaoyou and the Cao family has been in an uproar on the Internet recently, everyone should have heard of it, and everyone must have a pole and scale in their hearts.
Since Miss Gu shouted the price, Xu believed that she could be responsible for herself, and today Xu will be the guarantor for Gu Xiaoyou. ”
Gu Yi'an looked at Xu Baoran and Xu Baozhu, who were standing behind the uncle and squeezing their eyebrows at him, a trace of warmth surged in his heart, and after nodding at the three of them, he took the initiative to ask the conference staff to verify the capital.
Cao Chuanfeng's expression on his face became stiff since Father Xu spoke, and he secretly hated that he didn't know when Gu Yi'an and the Xu family got into a relationship, he didn't believe that just because he filmed a variety show with the son and daughter of the Xu family, he could invite Xu's father, a big Buddha who usually doesn't care about anything, to speak for Gu Yi'an on this occasion.
If Cao Wanrou's jealous gaze is substantial, if she can, it is estimated that Gu Yi'an can be burned out of the hole by her. On the contrary, Song Nana's expression did not change much from beginning to end, Gu Yi'an couldn't help but raise her vigilance, in her past and present lives, Song Nana was the best at hiding knives in her laughter, and the soft knives killed people.
"Dong Xu, the guarantee should still be cautious, Ling Qianjin and Ling Gongzi Xu are young and have been deceived, there is still some cooperation between our Cao family and Xu family, as a partner, I really can't bear to lose tens of millions, and I can't even hear a sound."
Cao Chuanfeng opened his mouth and said, although the cooperation in his mouth was only that his products had counters in Xu's shopping malls, it was estimated that Xu's father had never even heard of this kind of trivial matter, so he naturally scoffed at Cao Chuanfeng's words.
Everyone present heard another meaning from Cao Chuanfeng's words, this is the biological father's questioning and stamping of his daughter's character, fortunately, most people know that Gu Yi'an has not been raised by Cao Chuanfeng's side since he was a child, and the credibility of Cao Chuanfeng's words is limited.
However, some people think that Cao Chuanfeng has not remarried after losing his wife for many years, which shows that he has a deep affection for his deceased wife, and he should love the house and Wucai more for the daughter born to him.
But whenever there is this kind of voice, those housewives who are accustomed to the methods of wealthy families want to say a word, those men who do not have red flags at home and fluttering colorful flags outside can be said to be respecting their wives, this Cao Chuanfeng did not marry a wife on the surface, it is not because of the Yue family, as for the private I don't know how.
Thinking of Cao Chuanfeng's father-in-law Gu Qingpeng, who is also a generation of self-made old businessmen, but unfortunately his health has not been good in recent years, it is said that he went abroad to recuperate, and he didn't even show up when his own granddaughter recognized him.
Gu Yi'an clearly sensed the emotions of everyone present, there was kindness, pity, and indifference that had nothing to do with him, but there was unexpectedly little malice.
I didn't want to look at Cao Chuanfeng's posture anymore, thanked the person who helped her speak, and under the anxious and ugly faces of the host and auctioneer at the venue, the staff who went to verify Gu Yi'an's assets came with a notary public, and Gu Yi'an's expression was incredulous, and then announced that Gu Yi'an passed the capital verification and attached the black supreme VIP membership card of the auction house.
Everyone gasped, everyone present was either rich or expensive, but even Huang Miao, who sponsored the wonderful dairy industry for this auction, did not have this kind of VIP membership card in his hand, Huang Miao's heart was very complicated, after all, he knew that this membership card was not easy to come by, but thinking of the relationship between Gu Yi'an and the Xu family, he felt that it might be the Xu family who helped her, and then he was relieved.
Xu is understanding everyone's expressions, Xu Dong wanted to explain, but when he saw Gu Yi'an shaking his head lightly, he didn't squeak.
In his heart, he felt that Gu Yi'an knew how to take the edge at a young age, and even he was ashamed of this kind of heart, and he could rest assured that his children could make this kind of friend.
The auction process continued, the host touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and continued: "Miss Gu bid 35 million just now, is there anything higher than her?" ”
Everyone turned their eyes to Cao Chuanfeng and Cao Wanrou, whose faces were not very good-looking, and Cao Chuanfeng, who noticed this, was a little difficult to ride a tiger, pulled his tie, and nodded to Cao Wanrou.
Cao Wanrou directly quoted the reserve price: "40 million." Then he stared nervously at Gu Yi'an's reaction.
Gu Yi'an looked at Cao Chuanfeng, whose face was already as black as the bottom of the pot, and Cao Wanrou, whose nervous face was pale, and knew that this should be almost their psychological price, and if he raised the price again, the fat fish that bit the hook would probably slip away.
So he deliberately frowned, bit his lip lightly, and looked reluctant to lower his eyelids.
The auctioneer had never wanted to end the magnetic auction so much, so he quickened his pace and made sure that no one had offered a higher price.
"Congratulations to Mr. Cao Chuanfeng, Ms. Cao Wanrou won the first auction of Master Rose's painting "Sleep" in China at a transaction price of 40 million yuan."
Everyone present applauded, listening to the applause in their ears, the hearts of the Cao family's father and daughter were dripping blood, they could have won it for 26 million, but they blamed Gu Yi'an for that little slut, they spent an extra 14 million, this time it was really desperate. Regardless of how much congratulations and ridicule accounted for in the applause, the Cao family's father and daughter left the venue early on the grounds that there was something next.
Gu Yi'an recalled the meaningful sentence left by Song Nana when she passed by her side when they left, 'leave a line for doing things, and see each other in the future', and couldn't help but sneer, who could give her Gu Yi'an's glimmer of life in her previous life?
Thinking of the upcoming increase in the account balance, as well as the blessing of the father and daughter of the Tuo Cao family, the value of Rose's paintings has further increased, and Gu Yi'an's inner villain is very happy.
Even the little chaos that had been dormant seemed to feel the pleasure of his master, and then the corners of his mouth curled. Gu Yi'an decided to be generous and not to care about Song Nana's rudeness just now.
Persisted until the end of the finale, and after greeting the Xu family, Gu Yi'an left the venue humming a song.
Because of the high profile in this auction, coupled with the popularity accumulated by variety shows before, although she is not a big name, but in order not to meet any crazy fans like Ling Yifeng, Gu Yi'an used a talisman to remove her breath, so that everyone who met her would subconsciously regard her as a passerby.
