The rich lady next to her also said, "I guess they are here to see the world. They dress like this. If I were them, I wouldn't be embarrassed."
"It's... so tasteless."
"The local tycoons of China don't know how to appreciate art, they are vulgar and have no appreciation. Being with them will lower my taste."
"Believe it or not, they have no money in their pockets, and they can't even afford to buy the lowest-priced art."
People can be mean regardless of their nationality. There are mean people everywhere. Gu Ci and Zhou Jinjin were surrounded by a group of people who pointed fingers at them. They also bullied them into being in a foreign country, isolated and helpless, and mocked them unscrupulously.
Zhou Jinjin was young, smooth, but an eighteen-year-old girl. Being said like this, he felt a little ashamed and angry. He wanted to retaliate, but Gu Ci stopped him.
Zhou Jinjin was so angry that his face turned red, "Don't hold me back, I will scold them to death."
Gu Ci said calmly, "Jinjin, don't worry, if there is any grudge, we will report it on the spot."
The venue was very warm, so there was no need to wear down jackets. They both took them off and put them aside casually. They came early and looked at the auction collections. They were all good things and very expensive.
The chattering nobles were sitting next to them, surrounding the noble lady with stars and moonlight, and they were all complimenting her. Zhou Jinjin glanced at the noble lady, whose eyes were provocative and mocking.
Zhou Jinjin was so angry that she had a heart attack. She was unfamiliar with this place and she didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise she would really want to hit someone. Gu Ci lowered her head and flipped through the introduction of the collection.
Gu Ci fell in love with an oil painting, a famous painting from the Middle Ages.
The old man of the Jiang family likes painting very much.
Zhou Jinjin was also distracted by the collection. He pulled her excitedly and said, "Porcelain treasure, famous piano, Suklu viola, damn!"
The 1816 masterpiece of the Italian violin maker Suclu was later purchased by a famous orchestra and has played countless classic pieces. The top is made of alpine spruce and the back is made of maple.
It has beautiful wood curls and beautiful dynamics. It is a famous instrument and every violinist’s dream instrument.
Gu Ci's eyes glowed with determination, "I want it!"
When Pei Qiuying appeared in the first row of VIP seats at the auction house, Gu Ci knew that if she wanted to get this piano, she might have to go bankrupt, but she really liked it. This piano... was a gift given to her by Lu Zhiyuan in the previous life.
It turns out that it was sold at the auction this year?
But at this time, he was still unconscious? How did he get the piano and give it to her later?
Pei Qiuying was sitting in the VIP seat on the second floor. When Gu Ci looked over, she held up champagne and nodded in greeting. She was calm and gentle, with no malice, as if their fight to the death on the cruise ship was just a farce.
"Ci Bao, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Ci shook her head and said calmly, "It's okay."
She leaned over Zhou Jinjin and said a few words. Zhou Jinjin looked at her in surprise, "Okay!"
Zhou Jinjin got up and asked the waiter where the restroom was. The waiter took her to the restroom.
Gu Ci leaned on the chair and calmly closed her eyes to rest. Pei Qiuying looked at the girl downstairs with a chuckle. She really didn't know the heights of the world and dared to come anywhere. Tonight, she would let Gu Ci know how naive she was.
In the arena, Li Jiang hurriedly walked to Lu Zhiyuan.
"Third Master, Pei Qiuying and Miss Gu Ci met at the auction house." Li Jiang frowned and said, "Miss Gu Ci and Zhou Jinjin had been shopping all day, and they decided to go to the auction on the spur of the moment. Pei Qiuying's people also followed for the whole day.
, I went there on purpose.”
Lu Zhiyuan took the towel and wiped his sweat, his eyes darkened, "Tell Rong Li, I don't want that piano anymore."
Li Jiang was stunned, "...Yes!"
He was silent for a moment and stopped talking. Lu Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Gu Ci."
"yes!"
The auction was already in full swing. Zhou Jinjin went to the bathroom and came back. He drank champagne and commented on the champagne with Gu Ci. He gave Gu Ci a look and Gu Ci understood.
The auction has begun.
This is an art auction. They are all treasures. The first item is a diamond. The lady next to them raised a placard and bid with others all the way. The price was raised to 8 million euros. She has strong financial resources. The auctioneer made a second offer.
"8 million for the second time, is there anyone else bidding?"
The noble lady looked happy, and Gu Ci said, "Jinjin, please raise your sign."
"You want it?"
Gu Ci smiled and said nothing, Zhou Jinjin raised the sign, and the auctioneer pointed in Zhou Jinjin's direction, "9 million!"
The noble lady looked at them with displeasure and disdain, and raised her sign again. Zhou Jinjin looked at Gu Ci, and Gu Ci said, "Take it, no matter how much it costs."
"Okay!"
Zhou Jinjin excitedly raised the sign. The lady raised it, and she also raised it. Zhou Jinjin also gave the other party a provocative look, and raised the price all the way to 15 million. The lady looked extremely ugly!
Auctioneer, "15 million once, 15 million twice..."
The lady wanted to raise the sign, but hesitated, and lost to Zhou Jinjin. The lady looked at Zhou Jinjin angrily, and Zhou Jinjin gave her an innocent smile in return.
Annoying, she is a professional!
Aren’t you looking down on us Chinese people? Aren’t you saying that we can’t afford to take pictures of the cheapest art here? We will take pictures for you to see, what you want falls into our hands, are you angry?
But when she turned around, she complained to Gu Ci, "It's so expensive. If you don't like diamonds, why would you buy them?"
Gu Ci chuckled and said, "Do you like it?"
"I like it. Who doesn't like diamonds?"
"I'll find someone to make a crown. When you get married, I'll put it on your head as your wedding gift."
Zhou Jinjin opened his eyes wide and held Gu Ci's hand, "Ci Bao, I am a staunch believer in never getting married and having children. Tonight has changed my belief. For your yellow diamond, I will also get married."
Gu Ci, "..."
Gu Ci was not interested in the next few items in the collection. As long as the group of people raised their placards, she asked Zhou Jinjin to also raise their placards to bid, which made the noble lady's group fume with rage.
As Gu Ci said, if she had a grudge, she would avenge it on the spot.
They were so arrogant just now, but now they are so angry. Gu Ci used money and resources to beat their faces until their faces were swollen.
Pei Qiuying was upstairs, watching with great interest, "I am very competitive, my temperament..."
There was a kind of scorn in her tone, but Gu Ci didn't care at all. She did whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy.
Gu Ci is not an art lover, but almost all of the Jiang family are avid art collectors.
Ancient paintings and antiques are what they like!
Finally, we come to the oil painting. This is a masterpiece by a famous Italian painter in the Middle Ages. Six of this painter's works are collected in museums in various countries. This is the only work that is circulating in the market. In today's auction, there are several
The curator of the museum called the auction, and the bidding was very high. Zhou Jinjin didn't know much about paintings. He just felt that the paintings were old and he couldn't appreciate the beauty.
"My paintings are better than his." Zhou Jinjin was particularly confident.
