Chapter 202 Can we still be friends in the future? (1)
The auctioneer raised his right hand and knocked the auction hammer on the table.
"The blank painting "A Thousand Miles to the South" is priced at eight million for one time. Are there any other buyers who will increase the price?"
The whole place was silent.
Fu Nanjin glanced sideways at Yun Xi, feeling annoyed but still maintaining a winner's smile on his face.
I originally wanted to invite you into the game, but ended up shooting myself in the foot. I ended up buying the painting for two million more than I expected.
At this moment, of course she felt very unhappy.
But in front of so many guests, she was unwilling to admit that she paid too much.
"Eight million for the third time!" the auctioneer announced with a smile, "The blank painting "A Thousand Miles to the South" was bought by this buyer, congratulations!"
Yunxi put down his cup and took the lead in applauding Fu Nanjin.
This is on the high seas, so there is no need to pay taxes.
The other party sponsored her for eight million US dollars in one breath. Even if the auction fees were deducted, it was still a considerable figure, and it was worthy of giving the other party a little applause.
Fu Nanjin easily felt her ridicule, gritted his back teeth, and tried his best to maintain his elegance and nodded to the guests around him.
The auction continues.
Yunxi held a cocktail and raised the price several times as if to join in the fun, without really participating.
until……
The piece of ambergris that she cared about most was finally picked up and placed on the auction block.
"The next item we are going to auction is this piece of natural ambergris. This piece of ambergris is snow-white in color and very pure in texture. It is both a top-quality spice and a rare medicinal material..."
After introducing the ambergris, the auctioneer quoted the price.
"Lot No. 6, natural ambergris, auction starts at 2 million."
This kind of natural spices and medicinal materials has always been hard to come by, and is naturally the target of major spice manufacturers, perfumers and pharmaceutical companies...
After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was already a sound of raising prices all around.
Yunxi was not in a hurry to increase the price, but patiently waited for the right time to make a move.
Soon, the price of this piece of ambergris exceeded five million, and it continued to increase.
"Five and a half million!"
"Five.8 million!"
…
As the price gets higher, fewer and fewer people raise the price.
When the price reached nearly eight million, only the last two buyers were still bidding.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Yunxi raised his right hand.
"Eight million!"
The two buyers turned around and glanced in her direction, both showing hesitation.
The finger with the gem ring stretched out in the air, Fu Nanjin turned his face and glanced at Yun Xi from afar.
"Eight million and one million!"
Of course, Fu Nanjin was not a fool. She could see that Yunxi was very concerned about this item.
When she first bought the painting, Yunxi asked her to pay two million more, and now of course Fu Nanjin wanted to pay back this grudge.
"Eight million and two thousand!"
Yunxi shook the cocktail in his hand and smiled lightly.
Seeing that these two people started competing for the same product again, the other two buyers also stopped bidding and started to wait and see.
"Miss!" The assistant tugged on Fu Nanjin's arm worriedly and reminded in a low voice, "This time, please don't be fooled by her."
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Fu Nanjin stretched out his palm again, "Eight and a half million."
Yun Xi frowned slightly.
This piece of ambergris can be used as both perfume and medicine, so she must have it.
In this case, it was impossible for her to hide her concern.
But the more the price increases, the more trouble Fu Nanjin will make.
If this piece of ambergris were put on the market, it would be worth about 10 million. If it exceeds this price, it would be a bit high.
What should I do to buy this piece of ambergris at the lowest price possible?
Yunxi was still thinking when a pleasant baritone voice suddenly sounded from the entrance.
"Nine million!"
That voice was too familiar to her.
You don't even have to turn around to look, you can guess that it must be Tang Si.
Yunxi raised his right hand, pushed up his frame eyes, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Sure enough, Tang Si and Tang Chi walked over one after another.
Yunxi was surprised, but also helpless.
Fu Nanjin is already very difficult to deal with, so why is it that Tang Si is also raising the price now?
What use is this kind of thing to him?
After waiting for so long without seeing Tang Si appear, Fu Nanjin thought he would not come to the auction.
Tang Si's sudden appearance was definitely an unexpected surprise for Fu Nanjin.
Walking forward to greet Tang Si, Fu Nanjin smiled elegantly and gently.
"Tang Si, are you here too?"
Tang Si nodded lightly in response.
"Since you want it too, I won't let you fight for it, but..." Fu Nanjin turned his face and raised his chin in the direction of Yunxi, "There is a buyer over there who seems to also want this thing. Do you want it?"
careful."
She deliberately bid with Yunxi, but it was just revenge, and she didn't really want to get the piece of ambergris.
Of course Fu Nanjin would not let go of such an opportunity to please Tang Si.
Tang Si turned sideways and looked in Yunxi's direction.
Feeling his movement, Yunxi lowered her head and took a covert sip of the cocktail.
Recognizing Yun Xi as the person who just appeared on the elevator, Tang Si narrowed his eyes slightly.
It turned out to be "him" again?!
On the rostrum, the auctioneer's voice sounded.
"Nine million for the first time, will anyone increase the price?"
Yunxi held the wine glass and said nothing.
"Nine million times for the second time."
"For the third time in nine million, congratulations to this gentleman!"
The auctioneer made the final decision.
"Tangsi, congratulations!" Fu Nanjin said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you are such a workaholic, why are you willing to give yourself a holiday?"
"Tang Chi, you go and pay."
After giving instructions to Tang Chi, Tang Si turned around and walked towards the exit.
"Tang Si, wait a moment!"
Fu Nanjin quickly caught up with him, trotted all the way to the elevator, and reached out to hold his arm.
Tang Si looked sideways, frowned, and his eyes fell on her palm.
"open!"
Seeing the man's disgust, Fu Nanjin retracted his palm sarcastically.
"I know it was my fault before. Emotional matters cannot be forced, and I shouldn't target Yunxi. Now I...I have figured it out. I apologize to you and Yunxi!"
She raised her face, her eyes were red, and she looked remorseful and annoyed.
"In the future...can we still be friends?"
"cannot."
Tang Si replied coldly to her, and strode into the elevator.
"Don..."
Fu Nanjin wanted to say something more, but Tang Si reached out and pressed the door button.
Seeing the elevator door closed tightly, Fu Nanjin stomped her feet in anger.
"Tang Si, you...you have gone too far!"
Yunxi stood in the dark place, heard the conversation between the two, and just smiled secretly.
She walked over lazily with her palms in her suit pockets.
"Mr. Tang is really wise and discerning. What man would dare to want a despicable and shameless woman like you?"
"Hmph, you don't need to worry about my affairs!" Fu Nanjin was so angry that his shoulders were shaking, "Besides, you still haven't gotten what you want?"
"So what, there are more ambergris in the world than this." Yun Xi walked up to her, "At least I didn't spend a huge sum of money to buy the paintings of my love rival."
Love rival?
Fu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?!"
