After binding with the system, I became a super rich and beautiful woman!

time flies.

The auctioneer introduced each of the various rare and precious items up for auction.

There are all kinds of exquisite porcelain, ancient calligraphy and paintings, precious jewelry, and all kinds of old objects that were once used by ancient emperors and generals.

These items were basically all snapped up by buyers.

Li Zhen also selected three old items that she particularly liked.

An ancient calligraphy and painting.

An antique blue and white porcelain piece.

A top-quality crown.

One of them was purchased by Shen Qinghong.

A crown once worn by an ancient empress.

The crown itself isn't particularly valuable, but its value lies in its antiquity and the fact that it's the only top-tier crown ever worn by a female emperor in historical records.

Its gold content is high.

It cost Shen Qinghong a full 1500 million.

Shen Qinghong, however, did not feel sorry for him.

Li Zhen, the one who received the gift, felt extremely distressed.

This was the first time she had ever received such a valuable gift.

The original starting bid for the crown was 300 million, but because several people also liked it, the price was eventually raised to 1500 million.

Li Zhen was speechless.

Why did it require Shen Qinghong to spend 1500 million to win the bid?

I wonder if Shen Qinghong will have any money left after spending this money.

She didn't have X-ray vision or mind-reading abilities, so she didn't know what Shen Qinghong's family situation was like.

If he comes from a poor family and is still willing to spend a lot of money to buy her gifts, then she is a sinner.

Really.

Li Zhen felt truly guilty at this moment.

The other two antiques.

It cost Lee Jung a total of 12.3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Among them, the blue and white porcelain piece is quite expensive because it is not an ordinary blue and white porcelain, but a Yuan Dynasty blue and white plum vase depicting Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon. It is one of the most expensive blue and white porcelain pieces in auction history.

The final bid reached 7.1 million.

This price is outrageously high.

However, she was still won over by Li Zhen.

The other ancient painting and calligraphy piece was not an ordinary one either.

It is called "Ten Views of Lingbi".

In the final bidding, it was successfully purchased by Li Zhen for 5.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

This painting, "Ten Views of Lingbi Stone," thus set a record for the most expensive ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy in the world at auction.

As they were leaving the auction house, Li Zhen called out to Shen Qinghong.

Shen Qinghong happily agreed.

But then, a strange man suddenly appeared.

Behind this man were several men dressed in black suits and sunglasses.

They looked like bodyguards for a strange man.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, may I join you for dinner?"

The stranger spoke in a tone that left no room for doubt.

He possesses a unique aura that only those in positions of authority can command.

"What did you say?"

Shen Qinghong and Li Zhen stood side by side, preparing to drive their respective cars.

Shen Qinghong felt very disappointed by the sudden appearance of this strange man.

When did a third person join his date with Zhen'er?

However, Li Zhen, who was standing next to him, did not say anything to shoo the strange man away.

Instead, she scanned the approaching stranger up and down with the eyes of someone eyeing prey.

Hmm, this man is amazing!

He has a very powerful aura.

Not to be underestimated.

You can tell he's no ordinary person just by looking at the bodyguards who are always with him.

When the strange man got closer, until he was about 20 centimeters away from Li Zhen, Li Zhen was able to see his face clearly.

Chu Xingzhou wore a top-of-the-line Armani men's black shirt, a pair of slightly fitted matching trousers, and a pair of dark brown Louis Vuitton soft leather shoes.

He was also wearing a Cartier 999 watch on his wrist.

This outfit would cost at least several million.

"Wow, what an exceptionally handsome man!"

Li Zhen had made her judgment in her heart.

At the same time, Chu Xingzhou's basic information also appeared before her eyes.

Name: Chu Xingzhou

Age: 29

Height: 188

Weight: 140

Physical fitness: 40

Face value: 9.5

Favorability: 50

After reading the content, Li Zhen thought to herself, "What an extremely handsome man!"

However, I am a bit old, I'm 29.

He is one year older than Xiao Yu.

If she marries him, wouldn't he become her husband?

whee.

Regardless, Li Zhen still quite liked Chu Xingzhou's type.

His appearance is the kind that looks stylish no matter whether he's dressed up or not.

He had deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips of moderate thickness. His face exuded an air of authority, especially his slightly upturned, sexy lips, which occasionally held a hint of a smile.

However, his smile sometimes didn't reach his eyes.

He's definitely a cunning and scheming older man.

(For comparison of Chu Xingzhou's appearance, you can refer to male celebrities such as Xu Zhengxi.)

"How about it, may I join you for dinner?"

Chu Xingzhou did not answer Shen Qinghong's question earlier.

This time, he questioned Li Zhen alone.

He had already taken in every smile and frown of Li Zhen.

It seems he doesn't take Shen Qinghong seriously at all.

Shen Qinghong was a little annoyed by his pretentious attitude.

His slightly angry brows furrowed tightly, and his hands, which were hanging between his trouser legs, slowly clenched into fists.

"sure!"

Li Zhen smiled slightly at him and readily agreed.

"Let's go then."

Chu Xingzhou completely ignored what Shen Qinghong, who was glaring angrily beside him, was doing.

At this moment, Shen Qinghong wished he could deliver a fatal blow to Chu Xingzhou.

However, as a gentleman, he wouldn't act so impulsively.

Seeing that Li Zhen had already agreed, he could only swallow his anger.

He will definitely make up for it in the future.

"What's your name?"

Chu Xingzhou took another step forward, his body almost touching Li Zhen's.

Fortunately, Li Zhen was much shorter than him.

Otherwise, they might have kissed.

He was about the same height as Shen Qinghong, but he had a more imposing presence.

"My name is Li Zhen!"

Li Zhen raised her head and gazed up at Chu Xingzhou with a dazed look.

Chu Xingzhou muttered to himself, "Li Zhen, Zhen'er, hmm, this name is not bad, it sounds quite nice."

"My name is Chu Xingzhou, you can call me Xingzhou."

“…Sailing.” Li Zhen managed a weak smile.

She felt very embarrassed.

They had only just met, yet they were calling each other so affectionately; she felt really embarrassed.

"Haha."

Chu Xingzhou suddenly laughed happily.

He seemed to really like the way Li Zhen addressed him.

"It's getting late, let's head to the restaurant now!"

"It's my treat today!"

His words once again left no room for doubt.

Li Zhen couldn't refute it even if she wanted to.

Shen Qinghong, who was standing next to Li Zhen, had no way to refute her.

He suddenly felt incredibly small.

Especially in front of Chu Xingzhou.

An invisible aura emanated from Chu Xingzhou, relentlessly crushing him and making him feel suffocated.

However, he still obediently followed Li Zhen and Chu Xingzhou and left together.

The three of them drove away from the auction house in their respective cars.

Chu Xingzhou had originally invited Li Zhen to ride in his Rolls-Royce Phantom, but Li Zhen declined.

She has her own car, how could she possibly ride in his car?

Besides, if she doesn't drive the car away, she'll have to come back to get it after dinner, which is too much trouble.

Therefore, she had no choice but to decline Chu Xingzhou's offer.

As for why Chu Xingzhou approached Li Zhen, it was because he had noticed her at the auction house from the very beginning.

Originally, he wanted to bid on that ancient painting worth 7.1 million.

However, since he had already spent over a billion yuan on two other items, he didn't have enough money left when he bid on the ancient painting.

That's why he reluctantly gave it to Li Zhen.

He followed Li Zhen because he wanted to find an opportunity to get to know her, and then ask her if she could part with the painting and sell it to him after they became more familiar.

Chu Xingzhou's grandfather has always loved collecting ancient paintings. In six months, his grandfather's birthday will be coming up, and he plans to give him a valuable gift.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​getting closer to Li Zhen.

Once he had an idea, he did it.
