Chapter 302 Charity Auction (3)
Ji Yingying saw that Xue Pianpian directly ignored her request. This instantly touched her bottom line, and she felt that her authority had been challenged unprecedentedly.
"Who does she think she is? How dare she not take my words seriously!"
Ji Yingying was furious, her voice was sharp, attracting the attention of many people around her.
She called the security guard loudly, pointed at Xue Pianpian and Ye Fengning, and shouted:
"Kick these two people out! They are not welcome here!"
Just as the security guards were about to step forward, Ling Yu hurried over.
"Yingying, what are you doing?"
Ling Yu shouted harshly, his voice low but filled with unquestionable authority.
Ji Yingying was frightened by this roar and her eyes suddenly turned red with grievance. She stamped her feet and said:
"Cousin, look at her, she doesn't even take me seriously!"
"That's enough! Who told you to act wild here? Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Ling Yu glanced at her coldly. Although Ji Yingying felt aggrieved, she did not dare to show any expression due to his identity as the president of Ling Group. She could only glare at Xue Pianpian fiercely and retreated to the side unwillingly.
The auction began, and the first item was the famous painting "Moon Spring" by Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty.
Xue Pianpian turned on her perspective eyes and carefully observed every detail of the painting.
Through this painting, she seemed to be back to the scene where this talented and romantic man was painting:
Tang Bohu was seen passionately spreading the rice paper on the drawing table, dipping it in ink, and moving his brush like a dragon and a snake.
First, I sketched the contours of the mountain. The rolling hills, shadowy in the moonlight, resembled a sleeping beast or a guardian over this clear spring. The texture of the rocks was fully revealed through the brushstrokes, like the marks of time.
Next, he depicted the spring. The murmuring water, lightly colored with light ink, imbued it with a sense of movement, as if one could hear the clear sound echoing in the silent night. He delicately sketched the flowers and plants surrounding the spring, their delicate petals and unfurled leaves seemingly swaying gently in the breeze.
Then there is the moonlight. He uses a unique technique to leave a blank space as the moon and smudge the surrounding area with light ink, creating an atmosphere of moonlight like water, as if the whole world is shrouded in this moonlight, quiet and peaceful.
When painting at its peak, Tang Bohu's eyes were fervent and focused, and the brush in his hand seemed to have a soul.
After an unknown amount of time, a painting titled "Moon and Spring" appeared on the paper. In the painting, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, a clear spring flows, and flowers and plants flourish. It is a tranquil and distant picture of a moonlit night with a clear spring.
"Wonderful!"
With Tang Bohu's exclamation, Xue Pianpian's thoughts instantly returned to her senses.
The host's sweet voice sounded at the right time:
"The starting price for this item is 2 million yuan. Bidding is now open."
"Two hundred million."
The first person to bid was a man in his thirties with an ordinary appearance but a very strong build.
Ye Fengning whispered to Xue Pianpian:
"Chairman, this is Chu Tiancheng, the general manager of the Chu Group. The Chu family ranks third among the four major families in Kyoto, and the Ling family, which is hosting this auction, ranks fourth."
Xue Pianpian nodded and asked in a low voice:
"The Shen family of our group's former chairman doesn't belong to the ranks of the four major families?"
"The Shen family ranks second. The first is the Qin family."
After introducing the four major families, Ye Fengning instantly had a strong idea in her mind, and the question that arose from it almost came out of her mouth, but the awareness formed by years of immersion in the workplace made her suppress her curiosity.
Although she really wanted to know why Xue Pianpian replaced Shen Aohan as the new chairman, she also understood that being too curious was not a good thing and could even put herself in danger.
Ye Feng gathered his thoughts and turned his attention back to the auction.
"Two hundred and fifty million."
Xue Pianpian also followed suit and started bidding.
Chu Tiancheng glanced at Xue Pianpian, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then shouted:
"Three hundred million."
He seemed to believe that Xue Pianpian was just following him casually and would not fight him all the time.
Xue Pianpian didn't even frown and continued shouting:
"Three hundred and fifty million."
This made Chu Tiancheng slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xue Pianpian to be so persistent.
He was about to continue bidding when a cold voice suddenly came from the silent corner:
"Four hundred million."
Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in a white suit with a stern face and an extraordinary temperament.
Ye Fengning quickly introduced Xue Pianpian:
"Chairman, this is Qin Jiajun from the Qin family. This Qin family is ranked first among the four major families."
Xue Pianpian's eyes were determined, and she shouted without hesitation:
"Four hundred and fifty million."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and everyone was guessing who would eventually win the painting.
Chu Tiancheng gritted his teeth and continued to raise the price:
"Five billion."
He felt that he could not lose face for the Chu family in front of the Qin family.
Qin Jiajun did not show weakness and immediately shouted:
"Five hundred and fifty million."
A fierce bidding war has entered a white-hot stage.
Watching the fierce competition between Chu Tiancheng and Qin Jiajun, although Xue Pianpian also admired the painting, she had learned by chance in her previous life that the transaction price of this "Moon Spring Picture" was 4 million yuan, which means that the bids of the two people are already too high, so there is no need for her to intervene.
Just when she decided to step back and watch the fight from the sidelines, Xiao Qiqi's mechanical voice came out again.
"Master, don't give up! For others, the higher the price, the heavier the burden may be.
But don't forget, you have space. This is a charity auction, and every penny you spend will be doubled in cashback. You may even trigger a random system reward package!
Xue Pianpian's mind was moved: there are double cash back and random bonus gift packs! This is indeed an opportunity not to be missed. Her eyes became firm again, and she shouted:
"Six hundred million!"
Chu Tiancheng and Qin Jiajun looked at her in surprise. They didn't expect her to come back and kill them again.
Chu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, but Qin Jiajun sneered and shouted:
"Six hundred and fifty million."
Xue Pianpian did not hesitate at all.
"Seven billion!"
There was an uproar at the scene. No one expected the bidding to be so fierce.
Chu Tiancheng gritted his teeth, finally shook his head and gave up the bidding.
Qin Jiajun frowned, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he still shouted:
"Seven hundred and fifty million."
Xue Pianpian took a deep breath.
"Eight hundred million!"
Xue Pianpian couldn't help but complain in her heart:
If she didn't have the space to back her up, if she didn't covet the double cashback and big gift packs offered by the space, she wouldn't dare to do this! No matter how famous the painting is, it's not worth so much money!
Qin Jiajun was silent for a moment, and finally slowly put down the bidding card in his hand.
The host excitedly shouted:
"Eight hundred million once, eight hundred million twice, eight hundred million three times, sold! Congratulations to this lady for winning 'Moon Fountain Picture'!"
Xue Pianpian let out a long sigh and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. It was not for the painting, but she was looking forward to the double cashback and reward package in the space.
Sensing her intention, Xiao Qiqi said with disdain:
"Master, can you please not be so anxious? You haven't met the conditions for cashback and rewards yet. You still need to win another one."
Snow covered her face.
"Why didn't you explain it clearly just now? You made me so happy for nothing. Oh, little Qiqi, you're so naughty!"
No matter what she said, Xiao Qiqi ignored her.
“What I will present to you next is a mysterious ancient jade.
According to expert appraisal, this is a royal artifact from the pre-Qin period and has extremely high historical and cultural value."
The host's voice was full of temptation.
Xue Pianpian turned on her X-ray vision and carefully observed the ancient jade. Through the jade, she seemed to see the luxurious scenes of the ancient palace, a beautiful princess holding the ancient jade, her eyes full of sadness.
The starting price is 20 million, and the bidding will start soon.
Seeing that Xue Pianpian wanted to bid again, Ji Yingying deliberately raised the price.
Xue Pianpian was unmoved. As the price continued to rise, many people withdrew from the auction.
Just when the price reached 100 million, Qin Jiajun, who had been silent all this time, joined the competition again.
He looked at Xue Pianpian with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to compete with her.
Xue Pianpian gritted her teeth, thinking about the cashback and rewards from the space, and shouted decisively:
"One hundred and fifty million!"
The atmosphere at the scene became tense again, and everyone stared at Qin Jiajun to see if he would raise the price again.
Qin Jiajun considered it for a long time and decided to give up.
Just as Xue Pianpian was celebrating completing another mission and receiving a cashback and a gift pack, a deep male voice rang out behind her:
"Two hundred million."
