Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore
Chapter 58 Confessed
Seeing that the position of the little red dot on the phone had not changed, Gu Yan was relatively less worried about Wu Zhenzhen.
The Huo family's auction will be held today, and Gu Yan has already followed He Li into the venue.
The Huo Group was already a tycoon in the jewelry industry a hundred years ago. They had been living abroad in the past few years. With the development and changes of the times, the Huo family decided to return to their roots.
So this is the first time that the Huo family has held such a grand auction in the country, and the purpose is to gain a firm foothold in Jinghai.
"I can't believe there's a new force emerging in Jinghai. Who will rule the world from now on?"
"As long as you follow the right person, you won't have to worry about not getting the meat."
The auction has not started yet, but the venue is already full of people. For the Huo family heir to appear in Jinghai for the first time, this is even more exciting than the auction itself.
Gu Yan was sipping a glass of champagne. Just after the two of them came in, He Li said he had something to do and asked her to be alone for a while.
As she was sipping tea and champagne, a figure walked towards her.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. Where is He Li?" It was not surprising that Xie Yong was on the Huo family's invitation list.
"He has something to do. By the way, have you seen Mr. Wu?" This Wu Liang is always elusive. Gu Yan looked around but didn't see him.
Xie Yong was really confused by Gu Yan. He asked curiously, "Have you and Wu Liang known each other before? I see that you always seem to care about him."
Only then did Gu Yan realize that she was indeed a little too obvious.
"A secret." If explaining is too troublesome, there's no point in lying.
At this time, the auction was about to begin. Xie Yong raised his arm to signal Gu Yan to follow. Gu Yan did not hesitate and stepped forward directly.
Gu Yan sat with Xie Yong.
Three minutes later, the auction officially began.
The Huo family invited many famous nobles from Jinghai to the auction this time, which shows the importance of this appearance to the Huo family.
The auction process was carried out in an orderly manner, and the items on display were all Huo's masterpieces over the years.
It can be said that they are all unique in the world today, and any one of them is priceless.
Until the auction item came to a jade bracelet with a rose winding around it. This collection was a family heirloom passed down by the ancestors of the Huo family.
"Everyone, this collection has the highest starting price at today's auction, and its origins are inextricably linked to the Huo family. Now, I would like to invite Mr. Huo Shucheng, the president of the Huo family, to personally explain it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure walked up to the stage following the light.
There is no one like him in the world, Mr. Mo is as beautiful as jade.
This was Gu Yan's first impression of Huo Shucheng. He was simply a handsome young man who walked out of a painting. If he hadn't been wearing modern clothes, perhaps his beauty would have been even better.
Such a gentle and kind person is actually the one in charge of the Huo family.
"Thank you all for coming to the Huo family auction. The item on display was crafted by Mr. Huo Qijun, my ancestor. It's on display for the first time."
Everyone's attention was now focused on the white jade bracelet wrapped in gold threads.
Gu Yan didn't have an in-depth study of jewelry, but when she looked at the bracelet, her heart felt a little warm unconsciously, as if she was attracted by something.
"This bracelet used to be a pair, but unfortunately the Huo family accidentally lost one, and now the one you see before you is a unique piece."
After Huo Shucheng finished his introduction, the auctioneer on the side called out the highest bid of the day, 150 million.
This price can be considered a sky-high price, exceeding all previous auction results.
Xie Yong saw desire in Gu Yan's eyes. This was the first time he saw such strong pursuit in the other person's eyes.
"Do you like it very much?"
Gu Yan nodded: "Of course, everyone likes good things."
People in the crowd began to raise their hands, and the price went from the initial 150 million to the current 280 million.
Xie Yong raised his bid again at this time. His budget was 300 million, which was twice the space. He was confident that he could win it.
Gu Yan didn't expect Xie Yong to be so persistent. It seemed that he was planning to give it to the beautiful woman. He was really spending a huge fortune just to make the beauty smile.
"Does anyone want to raise the price? The current price is 290 million. Does anyone want to increase it?"
The auctioneer was signaling everyone to raise the price, and a girl sitting in the corner raised her sign.
"This lady bids 300 million!"
Xie Yong didn't expect that someone would bid so high, and everyone's eyes turned to the person who made the bid.
Gu Yan recognized the other person at a glance. It was the young girl who bravely stood up for justice that day, Huo Bingci.
Huo Shucheng looked at Huo Bingci with indescribable helplessness in his eyes. His sister never played by the rules.
"Three hundred and fifty million!" Wu Liang, who was sitting at the top of the auction, revealed his trump card at this time. He was determined to get this treasure.
Xie Yong wanted to raise the sign, but Gu Yan stopped him: "Xie Yong, it's not worth it."
The value of this collection has already exceeded its value. If the bidding continues, Xie Yong will not be able to bear it.
"But don't you like it?"
Xie Yong's words made Gu Yan, who was originally holding his hand, stunned for a moment, so Xie Yong wanted to buy this collection for her.
Gu Yan's face quickly turned red, not because of shyness or excitement, but because of panic.
She could no longer stay by Xie Yong's side, nor was she interested in knowing who ultimately got the collection.
When Gu Yan got up to leave the auction, a telephone buyer appeared at the auction and bought the collection for 800 million.
Xie Yong chased after her directly. He felt a little regretful for expressing his feelings, as this would cause trouble for Gu Yan.
"Miss Gu, wait, wait for me!"
Gu Yan was stopped by Xie Yong's voice. She quickly composed herself and looked Xie Yong straight in the face.
"Gu Yan, can I call you that?"
"Of course, you're my friend, aren't you?"
The word "friend" sealed the relationship between the two. Xie Yong was not the kind of person who would pester others, but if he didn't say it today, he might never be able to say it in his lifetime.
"Gu Yan, I like you, the kind of love between men and women."
Playing the straight ball is the most direct way to express your feelings, leaving no room for yourself or the other party.
For Gu Yan, Xie Yong like this made her brave enough to face him.
"Thank you for your frankness, which gave me courage. I'm glad that someone appreciates me, but I don't have that kind of intention towards you."
After receiving a positive reply, Xie Yong felt relieved.
There is nothing wrong with liking someone, and similarly, there is nothing wrong with not liking someone.
