“Then let’s pack up. We’ll leave in half an hour.”
Before Xu Yi left, he couldn’t help but fix his gaze on the drawing paper again.
Lu Si’s drawing had a different meaning to him. It was indeed inappropriate to compare her to Lu Si just now.
Clearly, Fang Qing’s standard was also very outstanding.
It wasn’t difficult to become famous.
…
At the auction venue, Fang Qing followed Xu Yi in. She was dressed very plainly, and time was tight. There wasn’t much opportunity for her to go into detail, but besides Xu Yi, she was also baptized by gazes.
There were all kinds of gazes.
Even though Fang Qing had mentally prepared herself, she still felt a little lost.
Compared to Xu Yi’s temperament, Fang Qing appeared a little cramped. She lost her gracefulness, but instead, she felt like a jade from a small family.
“Since when did President Xu have a woman by his side? Who is this person? Why do I feel like I’ve never seen her before?”
“I’ve never seen her before either. However, this is the first time that I can’t tell who she is. Since President Xu has taken a liking to her, her status must be quite high. However, her attire is too casual.”
“She might not even take this kind of event seriously. You guys might not know, but the organizers have spent a lot of money in order to invite President Xu.”
“…”
The person at the center of the conversation was not around Xu Yi, so they did not know about his influence.
Extraordinary…
Even the host’s opening remarks mentioned Xu Yi.
“Today, we are going to shoot Lu Si’s first painting. There are quite a number of people who came because of his fame.”
Xu Yi had just sat down when he started to explain to Fang Qing.
And his real purpose for coming was not to be praised by the host.
Fang Qing’s heart skipped a beat. “Is it a famous painting?”
“Yes.”
Fang Qing could not hide her excitement. She held it in for a while, took a deep breath, and sincerely wished him well. “I hope you can successfully bid for it.”
“Thank you.”
The auction began. Those who had come up for the auction at the beginning quickly ended, and Xu Yi remained unmoved the entire time.
He had a strong purpose.
When it was time for the real Lu Si’s painting…
Fang Qing could feel Xu Yi sitting up straight, staring intently at the stage.
When the painting was safely placed on the stage and the big screen began to play…
Following a commentary, an intense bidding war began.
This was clearly growing faster than before!
Everyone’s bids increased by a million compared to before.
But when it came to Xu Yi…
He calmly said a number that caused an uproar among the people present.
“50 million.”
One had to know, that the previous bidder had only bid nine million.
This sudden increase in bidding instantly destroyed many people’s thoughts.
Although all of Lu Si’s works were very famous, they were not as expensive as her famous paintings.
“50 million going once.”
The host could no longer control his hands. Before he could finish shouting, the gavel was about to fall.
A crisp female voice sounded.
“60 million.”
She sat at the back of the auction.
Normally, her status was not high, but when she opened her mouth, she attracted the attention of most of the people present.
“70 million.”
Xu Yi continued to shout.
Fang Qing, who was beside him, could feel that she couldn’t move at all. She could deeply feel that what Xu Yi shouted out was just a number, and it didn’t seem to be related to money.
However, Fang Qing’s heart was indeed overturning.
She could never have imagined that her painting would actually be auctioned off at such a price!
“80 million.”
The people behind chased after her relentlessly.
“90 million.”
“100 million.”
“200 million.”
Xu Yi frowned and directly bid 200 million. He did not want to play such a lame game with the other party.
It was very boring.
Cunning!
But he did not expect the other party to actually follow!
“210 million.”
The steady growth was not affected at all.
Xu Yi turned his head, but he did not look at the person who was competing with him. Instead, he looked at Fang Qing. Seeing her flabbergasted look, he could not help but ask her, “Do you want to continue? What do you think?”
Fang Qing gulped and looked at him. “I think we can give up.”
210 million…
Fang Qing was dumbfounded. She had finally opened her eyes today.
Xu Yi listened to her words and did not continue bidding. He was still the same.
Everyone looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to reveal another bomb-like figure. The exclamations were all ready.
But Xu Yi did not.
He watched the price set expressionlessly as the painting was auctioned off. There was not a hint of regret on his face.
“It’s over. Shall we leave?”
Just as they were about to get up and leave…
“Mr. Xu Yi, please wait.”
