When sending Xiang Baozhu to the airport, Xiang Baozhu held Qiu Bailu's hand and cried non-stop. She sighed, "It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover."
At that time, Qiu Bailu thought that she was too sad and had lost her faith. But now she saw that Xiang Baozhu had figured it out earlier than she did.
Everything that can be valued in this world can be easily obtained as long as you have money. Only the one you love is hard to come by.
Sometimes you think you are lucky enough to meet someone in your life, but in the end, it is just a mirror image.
"Xiao Lu, is there anything you like?" He lifted up the diamond necklace that he was taking a picture of. Seeing that Qiu Bailu was distracted, Qin Zhen squeezed her hand.
Qiu Bailu shook her head, "These things are flashy. If you keep them at home, you have to worry about them being stolen, so I don't want them anymore."
Qin Zhen thought Qiu Bailu was worried about money, so he didn't take action. He shook his head disapprovingly, "What woman doesn't like shiny jewelry? My cousins are usually not allowed to wear these things, but privately
Everyone down there has saved a pile. You don’t have to think too much, just take pictures if you like them. The money you keep is paper, and the money you spend is money.”
As the saying goes, those who love you want to be rich, and those who love you want to be rich. Qin Zhen was afraid that Qiu Bailu would suffer if she followed him, so he tried every means to treat her well. As long as she liked and wanted, he would find it for her.
, sometimes Qiu Bailu doesn’t say anything, Qin Zhen will also guess the psychology of her eyes.
"Look at these things, if you wear them on your body, you are afraid of being robbed, and if you put them in the house, you are afraid of being stolen. If you want to turn them into money one day, you will definitely have to discount them a lot. They are really not good things. If you really let me choose, I would rather put the money
Invest it in a more useful place."
"Where do you think it will be more useful?"
"..." Qiu Bailu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "When my father was not in trouble, Huo Dongheng once told me that he wanted to open a design company for me and let me do what I like to do most...
"
That period was as beautiful as a dream, and it still makes people feel sad when thinking about it. He gave her countless dreams, and then destroyed them with his own hands. His cruelty did not lie in what he did, but in the things he had done.
will never be made up for.
"Then you still want to open a company now?"
The fire diamond was bought at a high price, and there were cheers from all around. Qiu Bailu looked at the lively people and smiled, "It doesn't matter whether I open a company or not, I just want to do design. Whether I do it for others in the company, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter whether you are your own boss or not. I just hope that someone can live happily in the house I designed. One day, they will tell me that living in a house like that makes them happy, and that is enough.
I don’t know if my requirements are too high, that’s the only thing I can do well.”
This is her most simple and simple dream. She wants to use her skills to support herself and at the same time satisfy her customers. But at present, it seems that this dream is extremely difficult to realize.
"I don't have a diploma, and all the designs I have done before were controlled by Huo Dongheng. No one would hire a designer with no education and no finished product." Qiu Bailu sighed, "He is too smart and has cut off all my options. He
He is forcing me to surrender to him and live according to his will. But I..."
"But you don't want to." Qin Zhen said for her what she had not finished.
She may be weak or incompetent, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own bottom line.
The two were silent for a moment. The last lot, the black pearl, had been invited to the stage by the hostess. Qiu Bailu straightened her back. She noticed that Ren Ying, who was sitting in the front row, was turning around with Huo Dongheng on her back. She meant to her.
Qiu Bailu smiled deeply, the expression on Qiu Bailu's face was a little stiff.
The starting price of the black pearl is 2 million, and each bid increases by 100,000. Qiu Bailu's budget is 8 million. Under normal circumstances, this amount of money should be enough to buy this pearl.
The auctioneer signaled the bidding to begin, and some impatient bidders raised the price to 2.5 million. Qiu Bailu sat in her seat and was not in a hurry.
The price soared to 3 million and 600,000, and the bidding voices began to become sparse. For such a thing, if it sells for 4 million, it is considered a high price, and if it goes above that, it will be too full, and it is often sold in auction houses.
They are all old fritters, they won't do anything without profit.
When it was four million, Qiu Bailu started to raise her placards. Because she had often participated in such activities in the past, the auctioneer was also familiar with her. He recognized Qiu Bailu in the crowd at a glance and said, "This Miss Qiu
The asking price is four million, does anyone want to add more?"
If no one responds after three inquiries, the lot will belong to Qiu Bailu after the hammer falls.
But Qiu Bailu also knew that things would never be that simple. When the auctioneer asked the question for the second time, Ren Ying slowly raised the sign in her hand, "Four.1 million."
After that, the process began to become extremely difficult and tormenting. No matter how much Qiu Bailu added to the price, Ren Ying always bit her back, no more, no less, only one hundred thousand yuan. The atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn, and the rest
The bidders seemed to have realized something, and some began to chat in low voices, and some even secretly took out their mobile phones and took photos of Qiu Bailu and Huo Dongheng.
The price was slowly raised to eight million, and Qiu Bailu hesitated a little. This was her final bottom line, and it was the property left to her by her father. Even if she put all her money into it, she was afraid that it would not belong to her in the end.
She knew that she would most likely not be able to take this thing away today. Because she saw the proud smile on Ren Ying's lips, Huo Dongheng never turned around, but she understood that what Ren Ying had done
All of this should have come from his instruction.
He will not let her go smoothly. Even if she is not by his side, he will squeeze out every bit of value from her and force her to show weakness to him and rely on him.
Qiu Bailu pursed her lips tightly. Seeing her frown, Qin Zhen knew that she was definitely not willing to give up this relic of Qiu's mother, so he took the number plate from Qiu Bailu's hand and wanted to help her bid.
Qiu Bailu held his hand firmly and shook her head slowly at him.
Qin Zhen's status is too special. Although the Qin family has a high position and power, it is not as wealthy as those who are engaged in business. She spent millions to buy a bead, and others would only say that she was mentally ill and had been too stimulated.
It's irrational, but if Qin Zhen took the photo of this bead, others would associate him with the Qin family. After all, the Qin family would never be able to afford such an expensive thing with their normal income.
Qin Zhen frowned, as if he couldn't figure out why Qiu Bailu wanted to stop him. It was obviously something she longed for so much.
The auctioneer on the stage did not seem to expect that Qiu Bailu would suddenly stop. He looked at her inquiringly, and Qiu Bailu smiled brightly at him, "Since it is something that Mr. Huo likes so much, I can't take it from others."
My favorite thing is this black pearl. I give up."
She doesn't want it anymore.
Today is not as good as it used to be. She doesn't have that much money to compete with him. Even if she doesn't want to give it up, she still has to give it up.
Her voice was not high, but it happened to be heard by everyone in the audience. After her voice fell, the entire audience was in an uproar.
Ren Ying was almost unabashedly proud and accepted the attention of the audience. Although Huo Dongheng did not look back, his figure seemed to be trembling.
Qin Zhen jumped up anxiously. She didn't know whether it was because of anger or annoyance, but her whole face turned red. Qiu Bailu smiled reassuringly at him, "Xiao Guozi, it's okay, I really don't care."
Everyone is gone, leaving that thing is just a thought. I am lucky to get it, but it is my life to lose it.
The auctioneer saw that Qiu Bailu had already withdrawn, so he stopped waiting. He asked several times, and there was silence in the venue. Eight million pearls, no matter how good the quality of the pearl was, it might not be worth it if it was picked by the Queen Mother.
.
"Since no one continues to increase the price, then this..."
"Ten million." Just when the hammer was about to fall, Ren Ying had already stood up and was about to accept the applause of the crowd, when a cold male voice came from the crowd in the front row.
Qiu Bailu suddenly raised her head, and Luo Yan smiled at her from a distance.
Ren Ying's face turned from white to blue. Even Huo Dongheng, who had been sitting in his original position, couldn't help but turn around. Luo Yan was looked at by everyone and remained calm. He only looked at Ren Ying, as if to say, whatever you want.
If you increase the price, I will stick with you until the end.
"Ten million, is there any increase in price?" The auctioneer's voice was trembling. He had hosted so many charity auctions, but this was the first time he had paid such a high price.
Such an inconspicuous bead has now become the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone can't help but whisper to each other and speculate about the origin of this bead. Why do the new generation of ship kings and the new head of the Qiu family have such persistence?
Can't let go.
Ren Ying was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She never expected that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway. She wanted to raise the sign again, but her hands were trembling and she couldn't.
Ten million.
Ten million is not a thousand yuan! If she hadn't followed Huo Dongheng, she would never know how much ten million is in her life. But such a large amount of money seems to be just a drop in the bucket for this man.
Regarding the matter, he raised the sign neither quickly nor slowly. He raised it at the moment when the hammer was about to fall. At first glance, he wanted to show his head for Qiubai!
What on earth is this woman capable of? She actually makes everyone turn towards her!
The anger in her heart burned away her reason. Ren Ying gritted her teeth and wanted to raise her hand again. Huo Dongheng sat next to her and grabbed her wrist, "Stop patting, let him."
"But...!" Ren Ying was furious.
Huo Dongheng glanced at her coolly, "You don't understand when I say I won't shoot any more? Do you know who that person is? Do you think ten million is a large amount of money? For that person, I'm afraid taking this
It would be a humiliation to him if the price was too low."
Ren Ying was shocked by what he said, "He is so rich?... He obviously looks like a tuberculosis man... I have never heard of him before, and I have never seen him on the wealth rankings."
