Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

"He Xiaoer, I need to buy a gift for Teacher Han. But the things here are too expensive. Let's go to the jewelry exhibition tomorrow."

He Zhijing patted her head lovingly and said with a smile: "Xiao Huizi, don't forget that your boyfriend is a CEO worth over 100 billion. This little money is nothing. Just take a look at which one you like, and that's it."

Xu Zhihui was touched: "He Xiaoer, I'll have to ask you to spend money."

She picked up the auction catalogue again and looked at it.

She felt that Teacher Han didn't like antique calligraphy and paintings, and rare jewelry were too ostentatious.

When she saw that the 13th lot was an original manuscript of The Story of the Stone, which said it was the authentic manuscript of Cao Xueqin, she was moved. Is it really the authentic manuscript?

It would be a good choice to give this thing to Teacher Han.

He Zhijing came over to take a look.

There is also a picture on the album, which does show some very old handwritten manuscript paper.

He Zhijing said: "You can rest assured. Yulongwan has a good reputation. If he dares to say it is an authentic work, then it must be an authentic work."

The starting price is 5000.

Xu Zhihui took a breath.

He Zhijing smiled and said, "Just buy it."

The auction had already reached the 12th item, and the next item was the manuscript of The Story of the Stone. He Zhijing had just heard that a few of the antique jades in front were bought by people in the hall.

Not many people took action in the VIP room, and they all seemed to be waiting for something to happen next.

Then he heard the auctioneer announce that the item to be auctioned was the original manuscript of The Story of the Stone.

Xu Zhihui said, “We’re here.”

"Xiao Huizi, you will hold the sign throughout the whole process."

"I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter." He Zhijing smiled. "It's just a matter of how much they offer. You just need to add to it. It's no big deal. As long as you are determined to win, I can accept any amount you offer."

"Oh, okay."

Each time you raise a sign, it's worth 100 million.

After the auctioneer finished his introduction, he immediately heard the person in Room 12 next door raise a bid of 5500 million.

Xu Zhihui followed suit and raised her placard. To be honest, it was her first time to bid at an auction, so she was quite excited, but also a little nervous.

"5600."

The auctioneer then called out the price.

He Zhijing sat beside him, drinking tea leisurely, not nervous at all.

After the people in the hall outside raised the price several times, there was no movement. The buyer of Room 12 raised the price to 7000 million.

Xu Zhihui asked: "How much should I order?"

He Zhijing still smiled and said, "You decide, as long as we win in the end, that's all."

Xu Zhihui raised her bid step by step, and after several rounds the price reached 8300 million. The buyer of Room 12 no longer bid.

She felt very excited, no matter how much the other party offered, she simply increased the bet. She raised the card more than ten times and felt very happy.

The auctioneer called out the price three times: "Room 11 sold for 8300 million yuan."

"yeah."

Xu Zhihui high-fived He Xiaoer excitedly.

He Zhijing smiled: "Well, it's that simple."

Well, that’s simple. It requires money to back it up.

Room 2.

Ye Ge touched the cup and said with a smile: "He Zhijing would not film such a thing. The original manuscript of The Story of the Stone must have been filmed for Xu Zhihui."

Peter agreed: "Boss is wise. There is no movement in other VIP rooms. Are they all waiting for the main event?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe they are here to watch the fun."

The auction was more than halfway through and had reached lot 25, and some guests in the VIP room had already made their bids.

Peter observed for a while and said, "Boss, Room 1 has already bought three pieces of antique porcelain and spent 3 million. Are they here for a big purchase?"

Ye Ge smiled and said, "Who cares? The Bai family in Beijing has plenty of money. Maybe they are here to make purchases, haha."

Of course she didn't know that Bai Xing bought these antiques to give to the principal and school directors in order to please the principal.

The principal is a supporter of the "rich group".

Moreover, when Xu Zhihui returns to school, he has to save face.

Bai Xing took pictures of these antiques just as a foil. Her ultimate goal was to buy the "Forest Light" and give it to Master Bai - that is, her father, Bai Jingchong.

This is why she came to Hangzhou.

Finally, the highlight of tonight is about to begin.

Ye Ge stood up and walked to the huge glass curtain wall, looking at the crowd in the hall outside. Those people were already boiling with excitement, as if they were here just to watch the fun tonight.

This is a rare treasure - the night-shining pearl.

Who doesn’t want to see this legendary night-shining pearl?

I can't afford it, but at least I can see it.

It seems worth spending 500 million on the admission fee.

Why is it called "Forest Light"?

Legend has it that in ancient times, the forest was divided into two groups: birds and beasts. The birds respected the phoenix, and the beasts regarded the unicorn as the king. The birds and beasts were mortal enemies.

During the long evolution of the Earth, for more than a billion years, the whole world was raining and dark. This rain lasted for millions of years, and many creatures became extinct in this heavy rain.

No light means extinction.

Whichever species can get the light will rule the world.

One day, light appeared in the darkness.

The phoenix appeared in the sky above the forest, holding a night-shining pearl in its mouth, lighting up the entire forest and saving it. From then on, all the beasts, led by the Qilin, submitted to the phoenix.

“That’s ridiculous.”

"This story... is ridiculous."

Bai Xing listened to the legend introduced by Ling Shaohui with a look of disdain on his face. He wondered which fool made up such a story.

She came to buy the night pearl simply because it was rare and her father liked to collect all kinds of treasures.

It is true that "Forest Light" is a treasure, but it is bullshit to evaluate the legend.

Jiang Weiwei also said, "That's right. Hey, Xingxing, could it be that the seller deliberately made up a legend to drive up the price?"

"???"

Bai Xing glanced at her and said, "It's hard to say whether it was deliberately fabricated, but its value is unquestionable."

Jiang Weiwei smiled awkwardly: "That's right. Do you think it really glows?"

Shirahoshi: “I heard it would.”

Wei Yi came over and said with a smile: "Then we have to broaden our horizons tonight. Even if we can't buy it, it's good to take a look."

Jiang Weiwei bumped into him and said, "Can you speak? What do you mean you can't buy it? Xingxing is determined to get it, and I will definitely buy it."

"Yes, yes. I said the wrong thing."

Bai Xing didn't bother with them and just sat quietly on the sofa, waiting.

Peter also reported this legend to his boss.

"Boss, what do you think? Legend has it that the king of the forest was a phoenix, and later it swallowed the night pearl and owned it forever."

Ye Ge asked back: "Peter, what do you think?"

Peter shook his head: "Boss, I don't know. But I have a question, who is the seller of the Forest Light? How did he get this night pearl?"

Ye Ge glanced at him and said, "You asked a good question. This is what I want to know as well. How much have you found out about this matter?"

"The boss of Yulong Bay received news a few days before the auction that someone wanted to sell the Light of the Forest, and asked him to spread the news. Then, someone sent this night pearl to his desk."

"who?"

"No one saw it, but there was a night pearl on the table anyway."

"So it can't be found?"

"Is such that."

Ye Ge finished the drink in the cup in one gulp, "I just want to get this night pearl."
