Winter Blazing Wild

Yu Tang looked back and saw that the person holding the sign was sitting in the last row with an indifferent expression.

Zhou Shenye also turned around and said in a low voice, "He's dressed simply and doesn't look impressive..."

"Don't judge a person by their appearance. The simpler a person is, the more likely they are to be a "sweeping monk," Yu Tang said. "Besides, traditional crafts aren't something that requires exposure, so it's normal for them to be unremarkable."

"That makes sense," Zhou Shenye nodded, "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

Yu Tang thought for a moment and was about to raise his sign when Zhou Shenye held his hand down. He then said, "Let me test the waters first."

Asking Yu Tang to calm down, he raised his hand first, "One hundred thousand."

The price wasn't high, and compared to the excitement surrounding the previous five lots, it wasn't exciting at all and didn't cause any waves at all.

It seems that other people have no interest in this "incomplete" embroidery at all.

Only the plain man in the last row raised his sign again, still calm and unperturbed, even the volume of his bid remained the same as before, "Two hundred thousand."

Wow, in just two rounds, the reserve price has tripled.

Yu Tang and Zhou Shenye looked at each other with mixed feelings.

"It seems that he is a connoisseur and has great competitiveness," said Zhou Shenye.

Yu Tang narrowed his eyes, "No matter how competitive we are, I can't let him win."

Her hand that was about to raise the sign was once again held down by Zhou Shenye.

Just now I was confused and surprised, but this time I feel a little anxious.

"Don't waste time." Yu Tang frowned.

The auction floor is full of games and it’s a psychological battle, where every minute and every second is crucial.

Zhou Shenye lowered his voice, "Since the other party came with such a strong momentum and wanted an unseen lot, it proves that this item is of great significance to him. If he is your 'rival', then you will definitely be targeted."

His concerns are justified.

The master was unconscious, and Yu Tang had no idea what was behind the half piece of embroidery. If this unprepossessing bidder today was related to this matter, then Yu Tang would be in great danger.

After all, her identity as the last disciple has not been exposed yet, and someone is waiting to "lure the snake out of its hole."

"Two hundred thousand for the second time, is there anyone willing to bid?"

The host was obviously surprised by the bid and felt that this was the end of the deal, so he excitedly prepared to bring down the hammer.

At the critical moment, Zhou Shenye stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

After saying these three words to Yu Tang, he straightened up slightly and raised his sign, "Three hundred and fifty thousand."

When this number came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Those who can come to the auction are "VIPs" who are not short of money and have a keen sense of smell.

Seeing a "defective product" being sold at high prices one after another, they naturally realized that this thing was extraordinary and might be a priceless treasure.

Since we have money, we might as well compete and have some fun.

So, this time, before the host could even speak, someone immediately raised their sign, "Four hundred thousand!"

"Half a million!"

"Six hundred and thirty thousand."

"Seven hundred thousand!"

The voices rose one after another, and the bids became more and more exaggerated.

It even made it difficult for Yu Tang to find the right time to raise the sign.

She was a little anxious, not because she was afraid the bid would keep going up, but because she was worried that if she really called out an extremely high price, the item would definitely attract attention. What if the story behind it was unearthed in advance...

That would be like the sky falling.

But now doesn't seem to be the best time to take action.

What to do? Yu Tang’s mind raced, desperately trying to think of a solution.

Zhou Shenye, "Let me do it."

He held the number plate tightly in his hand, as if not wanting to worry Yu Tang. He smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm a sitting duck. It doesn't matter if I'm targeted a few more times. I only have one life. If they want to take it, we can compete together."

The tone of voice with a faint smile is wrapped in a reckless attitude.

But Yu Tang always felt that he was not as free and easy as he looked.

It seems more like he is deliberately using this method to hide something.

Before Yu Tang could come back to his senses, Zhou Shenye stood up, unbuttoned the first button of his collar, walked onto the stage, and inserted his number plate on the table in front of the host.

The number plate was like a flag, firmly displaying Zhou Shenye's momentum.

He glanced at the people in the audience, put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and then said, "One million, anyone else wants to join?"

Those who were excited and bidding desperately just now were all stunned at this moment, and some of them even looked at Zhou Shenye with a layer of fear in their eyes.

The auction hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Even the host stuttered, "One... one million per time. Anyone else bidding?"

I can afford it, but I don’t dare to add it anymore.

Because Zhou Shenye's action of inserting the number plate on the table is called "lighting the sky lantern" in the industry, which means that no matter how many people bid later, no matter how high the auction price is, Zhou Shenye will follow.

It means that he is determined to win this item.

There were a few people who were eager to add fuel to the fire, but after seeing Zhou Shenye's serious and oppressive expression, they felt guilty and gave up and dared not speak.

"One million twice, one million thrice..."

The host's final gaze fell on the auction hammer in front of him. He raised his hand, brought it down, and the hammer was final.

"One million! Deal!"

Yu Tang in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

When I looked up at Zhou Shenye, I found that he was also looking at me.

It should be said that his eyes never left Yu Tang's face.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a sense of pride in having achieved what he wanted.

Yu Tang couldn't feel relaxed and sighed lightly.

Neither of them was in the mood to pay attention to what the next few items were.

After the auction ended and all the formalities were completed, the half embroidery that Yu Tang wanted was finally acquired in the name of Zhou Shenye.

When leaving the auction hall, Yu Tang looked back several times, as if he was looking for something in the crowd.

Zhou Shenye waved his hand in front of her eyes in confusion, "Who are you looking at?"

Yu Tang didn't respond to him. He saw his target and walked quickly towards that person.

"Xiao Liu, has President Su appeared?"

Xiao Liu was distracted thinking about something else when he suddenly saw Yu Tang appear in front of him. He was startled and said, "Ms. Yu Tang...you...I..."

Yu Tang immediately understood, "Boss Su has been here, right? He doesn't want to show up?"

Xiao Liu looked embarrassed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Yu Tang hummed helplessly, "Okay, I understand."

Turning back to Zhou Shenye, he asked with concern, "Your expression is so ugly, what's wrong?"

"Let's talk in the car."

Yu Tang was still highly alert. Even though everyone who came to the art exhibition and auction today had invitations, who knew if they would gossip behind his back?

Zhou Shenye's "lighting the sky lantern" performance is too eye-catching, and his relationship with Yu Tang is also very intriguing.

Things started to go out of control again.

Yu Tang was a little annoyed.

Zhou Shenye knew what she was thinking. After getting in the car, he turned sideways, took her hand, and put a box in her palm.
