Did Mr. Joseph come to China for business? Or for tourism?"
"Hey, I have a small business to discuss. I'll accompany you here to relax."
"Is she Mr. Joseph's wife?"
"No, but I really hope she can become my wife."
"Oh, it's so touching..."
After chatting for a while, they walked into the venue. In fact, the auction had already started. Most of the people gathered here were celebrities from Jianghai City. The seats were not full. They found a seat in the middle for the drunken Fang Yusi to sit.
Next, Joseph said goodbye and wanted to turn around and go out to look for someone. When he turned around, he seemed to find that the person he was looking for had already walked in, so he smiled, waved his hand, and sat down beside him.
With her slightly hazy eyes open, Fang Yusi looked back and saw two women, one big and one small, walking towards her. The older one was vaguely the blond woman who patted her back in the bathroom, and the one who followed her was
The little girl was dressed in a neutral attire of a white shirt, jeans, and a blue hat. She looked neat and tidy, but the expression on her little face was obviously a little unhappy.
"Hi, Marilyn, Heidi, I was just going to find you."
"Thank you." The blond woman smiled and nodded, sitting next to her, while the little girl sat on the other side.
"I saw the items in this auction today. There are many good things for sale. Heidi, maybe there will be something you like."
"Huh." Joseph's voice was soft, but the little girl held her chin and looked at him angrily. "I'm not interested. Mommy and I were waiting for someone, but he called and broke the appointment.
We just have to come over and take a look."
"Oh? Are they the friends Heidi made here?"
"None of your business!"
Although the conversation between the three people was in English, Fang Yusi could hear it clearly from the sidelines. This behavior of "eavesdropping" made her feel a dark sense of joy. It was obvious that this very handsome man
The charismatic Joseph wants to pursue the woman named Marilyn. Regardless of the other party's opinions, the little girl named Heidi obviously doesn't like this man pursuing his mother. However, the person they are waiting for
, didn’t you come too? Hum hum, this feels so good. I hope that all lovers in the world...can’t get married...
Cry, be sad, this is our world, what you want... you can never get...
The effect of alcohol amplified the pessimism and discomfort in her heart, Fang Yusi thought while looking at the auction ahead. The little girl held her cheek angrily over there, and Joseph and Marilyn were talking about each other.
Regarding this auction, Fang Yusi had seen the flyer a few days ago, and the reason why she came here was because there were indeed many good things for sale. However, the auction was only less than half way through, and many of the items were still there.
He didn't take it out. Joseph on the side was obviously very rich, and he occasionally raised the sign in his hand. He chatted and laughed with the blond beauty next to him, and the bid of hundreds of thousands was also easy and satisfactory. It was about nine o'clock when he arrived, and a pair of
The precious Swiss couple's watch was sold at a high price of more than 800,000 yuan, and the atmosphere in the auction room began to become heated.
After the couple's watch, there was a set of extremely precious pearl jewelry. Watching this set of jewelry including rings, necklaces, and earrings appear on the big screen. Fang Yusi sat upright on the seat, her eyes looking a little blurred. Woman.
It is always hard to resist these shiny things. In the promotion of the auction, apart from an unannounced mysterious item, this piece of jewelry is the most valuable, and it is also what attracts Fang Yu to take a look, but it’s just that
Although she has accumulated tens of millions of dollars in the past few years, it is still impossible for her to spend a lot of money to buy these luxury goods.
Before the price was called two million, she gently raised the sign in her hand, and then she was passed by. She felt a little regretful, but then she felt a little relaxed. In the entertainment industry, you can often hear that a certain actress accepted the offer.
She once scoffed at the news that a certain rich man was lavishing gifts, but now that her boyfriend is gone, she couldn't help but fantasize in her heart about how great it would be if someone could give her this set of jewelry as a gift.
The price exceeded 2.5 million, 2.8 million, and was still rising. Fang Yusi leaned on the chair and watched Joseph next to him holding up the sign again and again, joking with the woman next to him, the blond girl named Marilyn.
The woman was also looking at the jewelry on the screen, with a hint of appreciation and expectation in her smile... It's really shameless, such a woman can only defraud men of money - Fang Yusi thought again.
Soon after, the jewelry was sold for 3.7 million. However, the buyer was not Joseph around him, but a playboy from the Huang family in Jianghai City. This man's name was Huang Bingwen, Huang Bingxiang, Huang Bingxing's youngest brother, who was thirty years old.
He was many years old, but he had always been idle and hanging out among flowers. In the eyes of many women, he was naturally regarded as one of the most valuable diamond kings in Jianghai City. After getting it, he and the beautiful women beside him stood up and smiled and gestured to the surroundings, looking quite charming.
hateful.
"This set of jewelry is not the best today. I got the inside story and there will be better things later."
Joseph smiled and explained to the woman next to him. As he spoke, a big question mark appeared on the big screen in front of him. Then the auctioneer smiled and signaled for silence. A staff member came from behind pushing a small platform.
"Dear guests, in the coming time, we will bring you the biggest surprise in today's auction. This is a top-quality diamond necklace produced by Tiffany. Please take a look..." As the auctioneer opened the small platform
With the red cloth covering the top, a flashing picture flashed on the big screen. The women in the entire auction hall were almost suffocated at this moment, staring straight ahead. Fang Yusi's drunkenness disappeared in this moment.
trace.
"...This new method of cutting necklace uses a total of 220 spherical diamonds, with a total weight of 215 carats. Each diamond is cut delicately, and because it is a pure diamond grain, it looks particularly good without gold.
It is bright and clear. Thirty-seven trapezoidal diamonds are used at the buckle interface, with a total weight of 6.25 carats. This necklace implements the concept of multi-functional jewelry. The length of the chain can be adjusted freely, and it can also be disassembled.
Used as a bracelet...it was appraised by a professional appraiser, and the starting price is 13.2 million..."
As the auctioneer explained, the entire auction hall fell into whispers. It was obviously because this piece of jewelry was too expensive, which caught everyone off guard. The women were dazzled by the light of the diamonds, and the men were dazzled by the light.
Everyone began to estimate their pockets. It was foreseeable that there would not be many bidders for this jewelry.
The introduction of this necklace took about ten minutes. At nearly ten o'clock, the bidding finally started. The first person to hold up the sign was a fat man. He was an upstart who had recently risen in Jianghai City. It was said that his net worth had exceeded ten
Billion, but because his character is not very good, some people in the upper class don't like him very much. What this guy likes to do most is to spend a lot of money to disgust people.
"Thirteen and a half million."
"Thirteen million and six hundred thousand." The second bidder was Joseph beside him, but when he raised the sign, Marilyn next to him seemed a little lustful.
Hypocrisy... I feel embarrassed to accept it. I feel sorry for the money. I don't say that I want it, but I can't bear to say that I don't want it. It's so hypocritical... Fang Yusi was so jealous that she cursed in her heart. Her entire wealth is enough to buy such a pair.
The necklace, if anyone can give it to her...
"Thirteen million and eight hundred thousand." The third bidder was Lu Guangyi from the Lu family in Jianghai City. After raising his placard, he even looked at the fat upstart provocatively. As one of the five big families in Jianghai City,
The current head of the Lu family is called Lu Guangren. Lu Guangyi is his second brother. He is very good at doing business. Most of the financial affairs of the Lu family are under his control. He is not in Jianghai City on weekdays. When he comes back this time, it is said that he has a good relationship with the upstart.
It's very strange. This time it's obviously a money bargain.
"Fourteen million!"
"Fourteen and two million!"
"Fourteen and a half million!"
At the auction, these three people were basically the only ones taking turns bidding. Although it seemed deserted, every bid made the faces of the people around him twitch. And every bid made Fang Yusi feel like the people around her were...
This man is really charming.
It's a pity that strong dragons can't suppress local snakes. Although most of the Salier family's money comes from illegal business such as drug trafficking, Joseph is just a manager. He originally wanted to buy a good thing to please Marilyn, but unexpectedly it ended up being out.
He was such a big guy. When the price reached 17 million, he finally sighed, stopped holding up the sign, and smiled apologetically at Marilyn. Fang Yusi felt a pang of regret in her heart, and felt a little happy at the same time.
, Sure enough, in this world, what you want is often not available.
With Joseph's withdrawal, the situation at the auction turned into a head-to-head confrontation between the two sides. Both sides shouted out higher prices one after another without showing any signs of weakness. Soon, the price exceeded 20 million and climbed to a higher number.
, but the time interval between each bidding became longer, and it was obvious that the two of them had begun to consider whether it was worth spending tens of millions to show off.
In terms of strength, the Lu family seems to be much stronger than the upstart, but for the fat man, the fight is for one breath, so after the price exceeded 24 million, this round of competition still shows no sign of stopping.
, Fang Yusi looked around nervously in her seat. The large amount of money had already aroused her emotions. When the sound of "twenty-five million" sounded, she heard the little girl next to her shout in surprise: "Jia Ming!"
At this moment, she had no memory of this name, but she was startled by the call, and she still looked to the side, and then was slightly startled: That boy. Isn't that the boy who sang "only-you" during the rehearsal at Sacred Heart College?
The one? Unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, and then her eyes were attracted to the money war ahead.
On this side, Heidi took Jiaming's hand and punched the back of his hand bitterly: "You are finally here! Mommy and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Haha, I apologize, I apologize. A friend encountered something very unpleasant, and I want to accompany her." His eyes glanced at Fang Yusi, who was three seats away. Jiaming's eyes stayed on Marilyn's face for a moment,
Both parties smiled knowingly: "Uh, is it an auction? There are some good things, oh. What a beautiful necklace."
"Yes, it's so beautiful." Heidi had no feelings for the millions of pearl jewelry. However, when the tens of millions of diamond necklaces came out, her eyes could not help but be attracted. Jiaming held her hand and smiled.
He smiled and said softly: "Then... as an apology for being late, can I buy it and give it to you?"
Joseph did not hear this sentence, but Marilyn next to him heard it vaguely. She quickly waved her hand and said: "No, it's so expensive." Heidi also smiled and said: "Yeah, it's so expensive. I learned it twice."
I've learned Chinese for 20 years, so I can understand a little bit about the price they shouted. It's more than 20 million. You, just accompany me to find marshmallows to eat and I'll let you go."
Seeing that the little girl was sensible, Jiaming reached out and touched her head. Suddenly, Heidi became angry again: "Gentlemen can't touch other people's heads. I'm not a child anymore!" She stretched out her hand to open Jiaming's hand.
Then Jiaming strangled her neck in a prank, took off the blue cap on her head, and touched her hair until it was a mess before she stopped. She hit Jiaming several times, and an angry Heidi stared at Jiaming.
Ming, he looks like he's going to bite anyone at any moment.
When it comes to bad character, Heidi is no better than Jiaming. At this time, she leaned forward casually: "Hey, Marilyn, you also like that necklace, right?"
After arranging Heidi's hair, Marilyn shrugged. Jia Ming smiled and saw that Joseph over there had already looked over. He leaned into Heidi's ear and said: "Little girl, does your mommy have an auction sign?
"
"I'm not a little girl, I don't want to care about you!" Heidi glared at him, then couldn't help but pick up the sign from her mother's seat and handed it to Jiaming.
"It's not for me." Jia Ming smiled and whispered a few words in Heidi's ear. Joseph looked at Jia Ming doubtfully. As a core member of the Salier family, he naturally knew that Marilyn was there last time.
China was saved by a powerful mysterious man. This time he brought Marilyn back to Jianghai City with the intention of finding that man. He had asked many indirect questions before, but both women were confused.
They were very vigilant and refused to disclose anything. But after arriving in Jianghai, the first person they came into contact with was actually a student? He was still a child three years ago...
In this moment, the bidding price at the auction had reached 27 million. After hearing Jiaming's words, Heidi's eyes widened and she confirmed again. Then she called the sign to her mother and whispered in her ear.
, after saying that, Marilyn looked at Jiaming with wide eyes, and Jiaming just smiled and nodded. Soon after, Marilyn looked at Jiaming and smiled helplessly, looking like a tolerant mother who finally agreed to the child.
An unreasonable request.
Ahead, the upstart suddenly gritted his teeth, raised his sign, and shouted: "Thirty million!" In an instant, there was an uproar in the auction house, and three million was added at once. Obviously he had to compete with the Lu family, Fang Yusi
She took a deep breath and looked nervously at Lu Guangyi. She was extremely excited. If both parties wanted to buy this necklace for her, she would probably faint here immediately. Then, she heard the next bid.
.
"Fifty million."
The voice was a little flat and a little strange, because it was a foreign female voice. After the faint number came out, the entire auction house was a little quiet, and even the auctioneer above seemed to be sure whether he was hearing hallucinations. The bid was naturally not from
Lu Guangyi. At that moment, there was a brief blank in Fang Yusi's mind. She slowly turned her head and glanced past Joseph. The blond woman over there put down the number plate in her hand, then turned her head to the side and looked at Gu Jia.
