Chapter 18 Tit for Tat at the Auction

Chapter 18: Tit-for-tat at the auction

The next day, Huang Qiao got up as usual. Xiang Zichen had already gone to work. After dinner, she planned to stay at home and watch TV, but a news on TV aroused her interest. It turned out that there was an item at the auction today.

Zhang Daqian's authentic Xia He Tu is up for auction.

Huang Qiao is not very knowledgeable about paintings, but there is one person who likes them very much, especially Chinese paintings, and that is Xiao Han. Huang Qiao vaguely remembers that on Xiao Han's birthday, someone gave him classical Chinese calligraphy and paintings, and he liked them very much.

So Huang Qiao immediately changed into a white dress and hurried to the scene. Fortunately, there was still time. Zhang Daqian's painting had not yet been sold because it was relatively expensive, so she was preparing for the finale.

The white dress looks exceptionally pure and elegant, and when paired with Huang's pretty face, people unconsciously want to take a few more glances.

Huang Qiao found the most inconspicuous position and did it...

At this time, the host immediately announced excitedly: "Dear guests, the last auction item today is the long-awaited authentic work of Mr. Zhang Daqian, Xia He Tu."

As soon as these words came out, people immediately became excited. In fact, many people came here for Xia Hetu, so they had been waiting for a long time.

The two etiquette ladies carefully opened the painting, and a beautiful picture of Xia He appeared in front of them. Even Huang Qiao, who didn't know how to paint, lit up without realizing it.

Ink-colored lotus roots, ink-colored embellishments, and a pink lotus flower stand proudly in the middle, showing the unruly character and making people like it from the bottom of their hearts. Perhaps because of the age, the pink lotus flower looks a bit old and the color is much lighter.

But this further reflects its age-old value.

Among painters, there are only two famous ones at home and abroad, namely Zhang from the south and Qi from the north. Zhang refers to Zhang Daqian, and Qi refers to the famous Qi Baishi.

So Huang Qiao felt inexplicably excited when she saw Zhang Daqian's original painting today. She could even imagine how happy Xiao Han would be if he saw this painting.

Xiao Han has a lot of money, but there are some things that cannot be bought with money, but can be encountered but not sought...

Thinking of this, Huang Qiao raised her lips...

After the host made an introduction, he announced the starting price: "The starting price of the Xia He Tu... is five million yuan."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar again... You must know that Qi Baishi's paintings only cost this price. Logically speaking, the bidding price should not be too high, but I didn't expect that this time, the asking price was simply sky-high.

Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, the owners who had previously wanted to buy it were dumbfounded. Five million was too high. It was not a matter of whether it was worth it, but that most people did not want to be taken advantage of.

But some people don't care. For example, Huang Qiao. Since she is here today, she is determined to get this painting. Anyway, she didn't spend her own money. After she finished the painting, she just used Xiang Zichen's card to sell it.

So Huang Qiao's white little hand slowly raised: "I will pay five million."

The clear and pleasant voice resounded throughout the entire venue. Everyone turned around unconsciously to see the female buyer clearly. Sure enough, everyone's eyes were full of surprise. Among these rich people, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, Huang

Qiao, such a young girl, has undoubtedly become the most beautiful flower.

"Wow, she is a little beauty. Whose daughter is so generous?" Some people started to talk about it.

Others were even more outrageous, boldly guessing: "She may not be the rich lady. Looking at this little trick, I guess she is ###."

Amid the discussion, there was an equally beautiful woman who looked at Huang Qiao silently. She remained silent, fearing that her eyes had ignited with blazing fire. She was Huang Qiao's enemy He Xinyan.

She originally came to the auction with Yu Dahai today. Although Yu Dahai is a rough man, he is particularly obsessed with calligraphy and painting. Of course, you can also understand that after the nouveau riche gets rich, he wants to play with some elegant things to enhance his appearance.

"Huang Qiao?" He Xinyan said softly.

Yu Dahai immediately became fascinated and interested: "Yanyan baby, do you know that girl? She looks pretty good, can you help me make an appointment for a meal?"

He Xinyan sneered: "Of course we do. Who doesn't know Xiang Zichen's ex-wife?"

"Ah? She is Xiang Zichen's legendary wife?" Yu Dahai still knew a little bit about Huang Qiao. Yu Dahai, who was originally very interested in Huang Qiao, was stunned when he heard that she was Xiang Zichen's wife.

It's not that he doesn't want to be interested, it's that he doesn't have the guts to be interested. Everyone in the circle knows what kind of person Xiang Zichen is. He is ruthless and ruthless in doing things. Even the Qinglong Gang has to give him three points of thin noodles, so he is timid.

Yu Dahai decided not to provoke him.

Seeing that there was no movement in the sea, He Xinyan really looked down on this fat pig from the bottom of her heart, so she smiled charmingly and said: "My dear, are you afraid?"

"I'm not... afraid of anything. I just... prefer women that others have played with." Yu Dahai found a lame excuse in order to protect his own face.

He Xinyan sneered, and then said: "You see, a woman in this family has an income of five million. I see that Yu Dahai, your wealth is just that, and you don't dare to compare with the Xiang family."

Upon hearing that He Xinyan was sarcastic about herself and Yu Dahai quit, she immediately retorted: "Who said that when I was conquering the world in Yu Dahai, Xiang Zichen was still a naked baby?"

As soon as she saw Ji Jiangfa lured into the sea, He Xinyan immediately got angry: "Then take a picture of Zhang Daqian's painting of Xia He, otherwise you will be embarrassed in the future. Think about it, today's painting was originally a painting that everyone

I thought it was yours, but if that woman takes it away, how will you be able to gain a foothold in the future?"

He Xinyan coaxed her half coquettishly and half threateningly, and finally Yu Dahai gritted his teeth and shouted: "I'll pay six million."

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn back, and everyone gave a thumbs up, praising Yu Dahai for being so generous, and Yu Dahai was also very proud.

Huang Qiao smiled proudly and raised her hand again: "Ten million."

Yu Dahai was dumbfounded at the price of 10 million. He did not expect Huang Qiao to be so ruthless and directly raise the price from 6 million to 10 million.

Then Yu Dahai immediately took out a white handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat. While wiping the sweat, he complained: "Why doesn't this girl play her cards according to the routine? You are increasing the price bit by bit. Why is it four million to four million? Who can

Can you bear it?"

When He Xinyan saw that Yu Dahai was about to retreat, she immediately pretended to be angry and said: "My dear, are you afraid of that woman? Ten million scared you into this?"

Yu Dahai immediately explained with a smile on his face: "No, honey, you don't understand. This Xia He picture is not worth ten million at all. If we add more money, we will lose a lot."

He Xinyan immediately pouted: "I followed you in the first place because you are rich and generous. I didn't expect you to be so stingy. It seems I'd better change my sponsor."

After saying that, He Xinyan pretended to leave, but Yu Dahai immediately grabbed her and held her in his arms: "Baby, you can't leave."

In fact, Yu Dahai really couldn't let go of He Xinyan. He Xinyan is now a first-line star in China. Although she is a third-level film actress, she is still a household name. Moreover, she is young and beautiful, and her skills in bed are even better.

So of course Yu Dahai was reluctant to leave He Xinyan.

Seeing the opportunity coming, He Xinyan immediately said coquettishly: "My dear, it's my birthday in a few days, so you can take a picture of Xia He and give it to me, okay?"

Yu Dahai couldn't resist He Xinyan's efforts, gritted his teeth and shouted: "I will pay 12 million."

Suddenly, everyone looked at her with admiration again, thinking, Yu Daixing actually got into a fight with that little girl and raised a painting that was originally worth less than three million to twelve million.

The host was very happy. He took the picture for the organizer. Once the picture reached a high price, he would also get a bonus, so he immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Yu is so heroic, the first time with 12 million...

…”

Before the host could speak for the second time, Huang Qiao glanced at Yu Dahai with disdain and saw He Xinyan sitting in Yu Dahai's arms. He Xinyan looked at Huang Qiao provocatively, which made Huang Qiao feel very funny.

I really want to laugh.

Of course she didn't buy this painting to get angry with that woman, but she really wanted to keep it and give it to Xiao Han...

"I'll pay 20 million." Huang Qiao once again made the audience excited. This time, the price suddenly jumped to 8 million, directly increasing to 20 million. In fact, she didn't do it to show off or show off her wealth.

The price was raised just to prevent Yu Dahai from competing with her.

Yu Dahai immediately took back the cards in his hand and planned to give up. It was not worth buying this painting for 20 million yuan. It was not blue and white porcelain, so there was no room for appreciation at all.

Unexpectedly, He Xinyan grabbed Yu Dahai's hand and immediately raised it: "Twenty-two million."

Suddenly, everyone was attracted by He Xinyan again. They saw the two women facing each other tit for tat. It was very interesting for everyone to watch...

"Yanyan, are you crazy?" Yu Dahai drank in a low voice.

"I'll pay for it myself, I don't need you to worry about it." He Xinyan just couldn't swallow this breath, why should that woman always go against her and rob her.

Unexpectedly, Huang Qiao didn't even frown, and directly raised the sign again: "Thirty million."

This time, even He Xinyan was silent... She felt that this woman was crazy and she was burning money.

"You lunatic." He Xinyan couldn't help but cursed loudly.

Huang Qiao smiled elegantly: "Why, do you want to continue playing?"

He Xinyan was about to speak, but Yu Dahai covered her mouth. Then Yu Dahai said with a small face: "I'm sorry everyone, my baby is not feeling well. Please forgive me. We give up 30 million. It's still up to Miss Huang, no."

, it should have been taken by Mrs. Xiang."

Huang Qiao glanced at them contemptuously and said mockingly: "If you can't afford it, don't play. In the end, you won't be able to stand it, but it's very embarrassing."

The host immediately shouted excitedly: "Thirty million for the first time, thirty million for the second time, thirty million..."

Just as he was about to shout for the third time, he was interrupted, and a magnetic voice sounded: "I will offer 50 million."

Everyone turned around and screamed in surprise, even Huang Qiao's face changed...

ps: I'm really sorry for everyone. My guests just left today. There were seventeen or eight people at each meal. It was really busy. I was confused for a few days. The updates have been unstable recently. I'm sorry, but I will definitely miss you tomorrow.

I will work hard to code and try to write more every day.
