Chapter 79 Auction
Qin Zhuyu keenly caught the figure of Lin Xuan walking into the venue. She turned her head involuntarily and cast her gentle eyes on Ye Wanqing beside her.
Ye Wanqing sat quietly with an elegant posture, as if all the noise around her had nothing to do with her. Her eyes did not shift at all to meet Lin Xuan who had just appeared.
Qin Zhuyu secretly praised him in her heart, and her gaze quietly slid to Xu Xinyi below. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. It went without saying that Xu Xinyi's arrival was undoubtedly inextricably linked to Lin Xuan.
Ye Wanqing had a clear goal tonight. She sat there, her slender fingers gently flipping through the auction guide in her hand. Her calmness and indifference made people look at her sideways.
Qin Zhuyu wanted to speak and share some of her views on Xu Xinyi with Ye Wanqing, but when she saw Ye Wanqing's profile immersed in her own world, like an exquisite painting, she really didn't want to use the topic of Xu Xinyi to break this peaceful beauty.
Qin Zhuyu still remembers the scene when she first met Ye Wanqing vividly.
At that time, she had heard many rumors about Ye Wanqing, rumors that she would do anything for profit.
However, when Qin Zhuyu actually stood in front of Ye Wanqing, she was deeply shocked by her beauty, and those rumors instantly became pale and powerless.
Ye Wanqing's beauty is an indescribable charm that makes Qin Zhuyu involuntarily attracted to her every time they meet.
Tonight, it was no different. She quietly pulled out her phone and captured Ye Wanqing's profile as she lowered her head in concentration. It was a moving picture that needed no embellishment.
Then, with a touch of her fingertips, she shared this beautiful moment on her Moments, adding a sentence: "Everything in the world has its beauty, but Ye Wanqing's beauty is a miracle favored by God."
Ye Wanqing seemed to sense Qin Zhuyu's actions and raised her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "What are you doing?"
Qin Zhuyu smiled brightly: "I'm taking a picture of you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Me? What's there to take a picture of?"
Qin Zhuyu turned the phone screen towards Ye Wanqing, her tone full of sincerity: "Because, you are really so beautiful."
Ye Wanqing stared at herself on the screen. At that moment, she looked particularly gentle and charming under the soft light.
In the photo, she is immersed in the preview of the auction, with a strand of hair gently brushing across her cheek, adding a touch of casual charm to her.
She nodded slightly, acknowledging the compliment: "Indeed, this photo is quite good."
She gently handed the phone back to Qin Zhuyu, a smile in her eyes: "Great photos, Zhuyu, you always have such a unique vision."
Qin Zhuyu took the phone and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Isn't it all thanks to you? If you weren't born with such beauty, how could I have taken such a masterpiece?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing smiled gently.
At this moment, the auctioneer had already gracefully walked onto the center of the stage and announced, "The auction is now officially underway."
Qin Zhuyu also lowered her head and flipped through the brochure in her hand, her eyes finally landing on a painting at the end - it was a masterpiece handed down from a Ming Dynasty master:
"Is this painting your target tonight?"
Ye Wanqing nodded slightly. There were seven lots in tonight's auction, and this Ming Dynasty painting was undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl among them.
Qin Zhuyu carefully examined the picture of the painting and couldn't help but sigh:
"The starting bid for this painting is already three million, and the final price will probably be an astronomical figure."
"Ok, I know."
Ye Wanqing's voice was calm and firm.
As the auction officially began, Qin Zhuyu also calmed down and immersed herself in the atmosphere of the auction.
The bidding process for the first six lots was uneventful and the transactions were completed quickly and successfully.
At 8:30 in the evening, the host finally began to introduce the origin and background of this Ming Dynasty painting, his words full of awe and admiration.
Bai Pinghui, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but feel curious. He turned around and glanced at Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu, then whispered to Xu Xinyi beside him:
"Xinyi, you see Ye Wanqing hasn't raised her sign yet. Could she be here for that painting as well?"
Xu Xinyi was also thinking about this question in her mind. She came to the auction tonight completely casually and had no specific purpose.
However, if Ye Wanqing really liked the painting, then Xu Xinyi would never give in easily.
Ye Wanqing had humiliated her on many occasions, and Xu Xinyi was determined to make her pay a higher price for what she wanted.
Xu Xinyi's gaze was fixed on the painting on the stage, a cunning glint flashing in her eyes:
"What she wants is her business, but whether she can succeed in the end depends on her own ability."
Bai Pinghui understood Xu Xinyi's intentions when he heard this. He turned back to look at Ye Wanqing, a hint of gloating flashing in his eyes.
"For her, it's probably not that easy to come up with a price tag of several million."
Xu Xinyi and Bai Pinghui smiled at each other.
The auctioneer had finished his detailed introduction to the Ming Dynasty painting, and with the heavy fall of the auction hammer, the bidding for the painting officially began.
The starting price was set at 3.5 million, with each increment no less than 600,000. Even before the hammer had fallen, several buyers in the venue eagerly raised their placards.
However, Ye Wanqing remained calm and composed, without making any moves. Qin Zhuyu saw this and couldn't help but feel curious:
"Wanqing, aren't you bidding for this painting on behalf of your friend?"
Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her lips: "There are many bidders, we don't need to rush."
Qin Zhuyu was reminded by Ye Wanqing's words. She looked around and found that there were indeed many people bidding for this painting, even the usually low-key Xu Xinyi was among them.
"I thought Xu Xinyi came for Lin Xuan." Qin Zhuyu said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing simply glanced at Xu Xinyi, not at all surprised by her bidding. After all, this painting was worth a lot of money, so naturally, quite a few people had come tonight just for it.
"Lin Xuan hasn't raised his sign yet." Ye Wanqing said calmly.
Although Lin Xuan hadn't raised his hand, his style of action had always been calm and reserved, and he would never act rashly unless it was a critical moment. Since he was here tonight, it was obvious that he wasn't just a bystander.
Ye Wanqing was not paying special attention to Lin Xuan, but his seat happened to be within her sight.
There are seven items in tonight's auction. Apart from this Ming Dynasty painting, Ye Wanqing can't think of anything else that can attract Lin Xuan to show up in person.
"He didn't seem to hold up the sign much all night." Qin Zhuyu continued, taking out her cell phone and sending a short message to Qin Huai.
Ye Wanqing looked at Qin Zhuyu's actions and just smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to contain endless profound meaning.
As they were talking in low voices, the price of the Ming Dynasty painting had soared to 5.4 million, and the number of bidders had shrunk from the original nine to four.
Bai Pinghui's eyes were fixed on Ye Wanqing. Seeing Xu Xinyi raise the price to six million, but Ye Wanqing remained calm, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Xinyi, why hasn't Ye Wanqing taken action yet?!"
Xu Xinyi was also full of doubts. Six million was not a small amount for her, but if she could use this opportunity to embarrass Ye Wanqing, she would be willing to spend even tens of millions of dollars.
However, if Ye Wanqing had no interest in this painting...
Xu Xinyi thought about it for a moment, and when someone called out a high price of 6.6 million, she finally chose to give up.
At this moment, there are only two people left bidding for this painting.
Qin Zhuyu saw Xu Xinyi withdraw from the auction, and a smug smile appeared on her face: "After all, she doesn't dare to pursue me anymore!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ye Wanqing finally slowly raised the bidding card in her hand.
"Seven million and two hundred thousand, this lady bids seven million and two hundred thousand..." The auctioneer's voice echoed in the venue.
Qin Huai noticed Ye Wanqing holding up the sign, turned to look at Lin Xuan, and asked in a low voice:
"Are you still interested in this painting?"
Lin Xuan lowered his head, his fingers gently spinning the bidding card in his hand, remaining silent and not responding.
"Seven million and two hundred thousand for the second time, seven million and eight hundred thousand! This lady bids seven million and eight hundred thousand!" The auctioneer's voice sounded again, with some excitement.
Qin Huai sighed softly: "Why did Xu Xinyi get involved?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan slowly raised his head, his deep eyes staring ahead. After a moment, he finally slowly raised the bidding card in his hand.
Seeing this, Bai Pinghui couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise:
"Lin Xuan also wants this painting?!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xinyi couldn't help but look back at Lin Xuan, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
