She became a top rich woman by giving tribute to her emperor boyfriend
Chapter 15: Treating Appearance as Dirt
seven thirty.
A corner of the parking lot in front of Dayongsheng Auction House.
Jiayu couldn't help but smile when she saw her best friend getting out of a taxi, wearing a blue floor-length evening gown, holding up the hem of her skirt with both hands and walking towards her awkwardly in her high heels.
Then he scoffed mercilessly: "Why put yourself through this? You're not attending a party, you're just here to buy something."
There was not enough light here, and the brim of the baseball cap covered half of Jiayu's face.
Half of the face is in the dark and the emotions cannot be seen clearly.
The other half has clear lines, bright and bold, and insufficient light cannot conceal her beauty.
Sheng Meng approached her, adjusted her skirt, and said bluntly:
"My boyfriend said that if I dress like this, I will look like a rich person, and the auction staff won't look down on me."
"Besides, auctions are always attended by wealthy or noble clients. I am also a buyer, so I cannot afford to be outdone in terms of momentum and temperament."
Loose black pants paired with a dark plaid shirt and a baseball cap!
Seeing Jiayu dressed so modestly, Sheng Meng frowned:
"We're all on vacation, why are you still wearing your work clothes? Aren't you coming to the auction as well?"
Jiayu shrugged, "Yeah."
Sheng Meng was puzzled: "Then why did you..."
“I’m a seller.”
"Even if you are a seller, you can't treat appearance as dirt, right?"
Sheng Meng can't stand this thing about Jiayu the most. She looks like a fairy, but she never shows it off.
I always wear ordinary clothes and I am too lazy to clean up.
Even when he was too lazy to tidy up, his appearance was already beyond the reach of many women.
Just like now!
She was dressed very modestly, but the clothes couldn't hide Jiayu's beauty.
Jiayu groaned: "Appearance can't be used to make a living, why bother about appearance? Living well is the way to survive."
Sheng Meng narrowed her eyes: "Live... well?"
Seeing her best friend's wretched look, Jiayu knew what she was thinking. She corrected her speechlessly:
"Don't get me wrong, I mean ability."
At this time, Sheng Meng saw a group of men in black suits escorting someone into the building from the other side of the gate. He asked curiously:
"Who is so prominent? He actually has so many bodyguards supporting him."
Jiayu looked calm: "This kind of place is full of bigwigs from all walks of life, so it's normal to have a big show. Let's go in too."
After saying that, knowing that it would be difficult for my best friend to walk normally because she was not good at wearing high heels, I supported her hand.
The auction venue is on the third floor.
More than ten minutes later, Jiayu and Sheng Meng had finished registering and arrived at the entrance of the venue on the third floor.
The staff member in charge of registration is Xie Yao.
Sheng Meng asked in confusion: "Lao Yu, why do I have to register, pay a deposit, and verify my capital, but you don't?"
If her foreign boyfriend hadn't transferred some money to her in advance, she wouldn't have been able to enter the auction tonight.
Jiayu said: "I am a seller. I have registered my personal information with your bank during the day. The previous staff knew who I was."
Sheng Meng suddenly realized: "Oh ~ So that's what's going on."
After entering the venue, Jiayu and Sheng Meng chose to sit at the back.
After sitting down, Jiayu glanced at the scene.
The front row was almost full, but there were still some empty seats in the middle.
The host has not yet appeared on the stage.
In one corner of the venue is an exhibition hall. At this moment, many people are walking around the display cabinets, admiring the items inside.
After Sheng Meng looked around boredly, he approached Jiayu and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Laoyu, you just said you were a seller. What did you sell on Yongsheng?"
Jiayu: "There are several. You will see them soon."
After waiting for a few more minutes, the host came on stage to give his speech.
Halfway through the speech, the closed door of the conference hall was suddenly opened heavily.
The noise was so loud that the guests in their seats turned around to look.
Because the entrance to the venue is located at the back of the seats, Jiayu only needs to turn his head slightly to see what is happening at the door up close.
The four bodyguards pushed open the two heavy doors of the auction at the same time and then stepped aside.
Then, a pure-looking woman in a black high-end evening gown walked in with a slender man of average looks, followed by several people.
The man was serious, his back was straight, his eyes were not crooked at all, and he had an arrogant attitude that looked down on everyone.
With the support of a group of people, the man's aura was fully unleashed!
Sheng Meng approached Jiayu and asked quietly, "Old Yu, who is this? He looks so impressive, he looks like someone you can't afford to offend."
Jiayu's expression was stable and she showed no curiosity towards the man.
She shook her head, "I don't know."
Sheng Meng: "You are also the child of a wealthy family, don't you know?"
Jiayu complained: "A wealthy family from a third or fourth tier city, plus I hang out with you at the R&D base every day, how can you expect me to know that?"
"Hehehe~that's right." Sheng Meng said awkwardly and sat up straight.
At this moment, the host's respectful voice came over: "Mr. Lin, welcome!"
Lin? The eldest son?
Hearing the host's words, Jiayu's expression changed slightly, and then his eyes fell on the back of the man who had moved to the front row.
The richest family is the Lin family!
Her father had mentioned to her that the one who wanted to marry her was the eldest son of the Lin family!
That man was so prominent tonight, he must be Lin Yichen, whom she thought was her fiancé!
Jiayu pulled her lips coldly.
It was Lin Yichen who proposed the marriage, and finally told her brother that it was just his family's own decision and he never had any intention of arranging a marriage?
Are you playing a trick on her Jia family?
Her brother knelt down to ask for money, so he could just say he didn't want to lend it. Why did he humiliate him?
Can you humiliate people at will just because you are the richest man?
This kind of person... no matter how powerful he is, he will never get her respect.
Front row, center position.
As soon as Lin Yichen sat down, a group of people came up to him and greeted him in a fawning manner.
The host is no exception.
It was clearly an auction, but it turned out to be a reception for the eldest son of the Lin family.
Jiayu didn't even take a second look at the scene, he just lowered his head and started browsing his phone.
I don’t know how long it took, but the auction finally entered the most important process - displaying the items!
The first item to be auctioned tonight is the jade ruyi that Jiayu entrusted to Dayongsheng for auction.
As soon as Yu Ruyi came on stage, there was an uproar at the scene, which showed that everyone had known about this treasure beforehand.
High-definition pictures of the jade ruyi were played on a large screen at the scene, which made the buyers more excited.
When Sheng Meng saw this, her eyes lit up and she excitedly grabbed Jiayu's hand:
"Look, Lao Yu, that's the jade ruyi. My boyfriend asked me to take a picture of it. It's this treasure."
Jiayu couldn't help laughing: "Look how excited you are, calm down."
But they were in the back row, so how could they see that the female companion brought by Lin Yichen also had shining eyes when she saw Yu Ruyi coming on stage.
Wan Rou looked at the man beside her and asked softly, "Yi Chen, is that the Jade Ruyi? This is the first time I've seen a Jade Ruyi with such a bright color."
Lin Yichen leaned over and whispered in the woman's ear, his words full of doting: "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll buy it for you later."
When Jiayu saw the man and woman relying on each other, the corners of his lips curled up dangerously.
After the auctioneer introduced the jade ruyi, the bidding process began!
"The bidding price is 70 million. Is there any boss here who is interested?"
Hearing this, Sheng Meng's eyes widened and he looked at Jiayu beside him in surprise.
"Old Yu, am I hallucinating? Such a small thing, the starting price is 70 million? Are you robbing me?"
Jiayu smiled and explained: "This 70 million is still lower than the market price. The market price is 80 million."
Sheng Meng knew nothing about antiques, and asked in frustration, "What's its value?"
Jiayu: "First, it is made of 100% pure jade. Second, this jade ruyi was produced more than 2,000 years ago. Its age alone is already very valuable."
After she explained this, Sheng Meng understood a lot: "So, the older the antique is, the more valuable it is?"
Jiayu nodded, "Well, you can say that. In fact, many people take pictures and bring them home, thinking of reselling them at a high price and making money this way. Of course, there are also people who are addicted to collecting antiques, and they can't walk when they see this kind of antique."
After a pause, she continued, "Raise your sign. Doesn't your boyfriend want this jade ruyi? Just increase the price to 80 million."
Sheng Meng was stunned: "Ah? Is this how you do it? But it's so expensive, if I buy it back, won't he break up with me on the spot?"
Jiayu asked: "What is his budget? Oh, didn't he transfer money to you? How much did he transfer?"
Sheng Meng: "It seems that only 80 million was transferred. I thought that this money could buy a lot of these things, but I didn't expect it to be ridiculously expensive."
Jiayu: "Then your boyfriend's budget is 80 million. Raise your sign, or else if someone raises it to 80 million, you won't have a chance!"
After hesitating for a while, Sheng Meng reluctantly raised her number plate.
The auctioneer had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Sheng Meng's number plate:
"Buyer No. 98 has revealed her cards. She is a beautiful lady!"
At this time, some guests turned around to look at the bidder, and found that it was a stranger, so they didn't care much and turned back.
Auctioneer: "Excuse me, is there anything higher than 70 million?"
After scanning the area and waiting for three seconds to confirm that no one had raised the price, the auctioneer dropped the first hammer:
"Seventy million for the first time!"
"Seventy million for the second time!"
"Seventy million third..."
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a fat, big-eared buyer raised his number plate and said, "Ninety million!"
There was a slight commotion at the scene.
Seeing this, the auctioneer asked excitedly, "Any other buyers want to raise the price?"
After that, more people raised the price, and it quickly reached 100 million!
It can be seen that everyone wanted to get this jade ruyi very much.
Sheng Meng was completely confused: "How could this happen? 70 million is already outrageous, how did it get to 100 million?"
Jiayu was about to speak when Lin Yichen raised his sign and said in a cold, lazy and arrogant tone, "One hundred and fifty million!"
Suddenly, the whole audience fell silent!
Wan Rou's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, she looked at the man with tears in her eyes, full of emotion and admiration.
After a few seconds of deathly silence, a heated discussion broke out.
"Miss Jia, why is it so noisy over there? Are you shopping outside?"
Hearing Qi Tianlin's low and gentle voice, Jiayu ignored the auctioneer who was talking excitedly and took out the jade pendant from her bag.
The jade pendant is emitting light.
Anyway, no one except himself could notice anything unusual about the jade pendant, so Jiayu simply took it out.
Sheng Meng was pouting as she stared at the jade ruyi on the stage, not paying attention to what Jiayu was holding.
At this time, the auctioneer dropped the first hammer: "One hundred and fifty million, first time!"
Jiayu didn't have time to reply to the man on the other end of the jade pendant, and hurriedly urged Sheng Meng next to him, "Lao Meng, show your cards, and raise the price to 200 million!"
Her best friend immediately glared at her: "Lao Yu, are you crazy? Two hundred million, how can I have that much money?"
Jiayu said calmly: "Do as I say, and I will bear the risk."
Tonight, she will have a good game of chess with Lin Yichen!
See if Lin Yichen wants to save money or make the beauty smile!
