Chapter 361 I don’t want to make you too tired

I walked over and sat next to him, feeling grateful: “It went very smoothly.”

Jiang Yichen smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "That's good, but, did you forget something today?"

Forgot something? Let me think.

"Give me a big kiss, of course." As soon as he finished speaking, he held my face and took a bite.

"It hurts!" Jiang Yichen let go immediately. It hurt everywhere.

Just then, I heard Xiao Huai's distressed voice, and I hurried to the room, "She almost woke up."

I touched her head and said with a smile, "Mom is a little busy today, Xiao Huai is sleeping so soundly."

In his sleep, Xiao Huai showed a happy expression.

"Don't wake him up, haha, let's get out of here."

"How is that possible?" Before I could finish my sentence, Jiang Yichen carried me out like a princess.

The next day was the day of the auction, and Jiang Yichen and I had already gone there.

"The jewelry being auctioned this time is a once-in-a-millennium Mo Ke jewelry, and the starting price is 2 million."

Isn’t Moko Jewelry the favorite thing of Mr. Song’s wife? I originally came out just to take a look today, but I didn’t expect to come across such a good thing.

Jiang Yichen looked at me with a surprised expression, thinking that I liked it and was waiting to start bidding.

Moko Jewelry was on the stand, and the necklace inlaid with rare sapphires sparkled under the light, like stars falling into the deep sea, so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was facing the stand, and my eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

"Why, do you like it?" Jiang Yichen's voice came from behind, with a lazy smile.

I came back to my senses and shook my head: "No, no, I don't like this. Have you forgotten? Mr. Song of the Song Group and his wife like this kind of jewelry the most, and I heard that as long as his wife is happy, there is no cooperation that cannot be negotiated."

Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised: "Is that so? Maybe I forgot. But if you like, I can get it for you."

I waved my hands quickly: "No, Jiang Yichen, my most important goal right now is to turn the studio into a company, so I don't have the energy to buy these luxury goods."

He chuckled and said nothing more, but his eyes were still on the necklace, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, a familiar and harsh voice came from the side: "Hey, isn't this Miss Gu? Why, are you also interested in Moko Jewelry?"

I turned around and saw that it was indeed Lin Qing. She was wearing a high-end dress, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, and had a hypocritical smile on her face. She was the daughter of the Lin Group and the biggest competitor of my studio. Ever since my studio became popular, she has been targeting me everywhere, wishing to trample me under her feet. I didn't expect to meet her here today. I had always avoided her before.

"Ms. Gu, long time no see." I greeted her lightly, not wanting to bother with her any more.

Lin Qing refused to let me go. She swept her eyes across the necklace on the stand and deliberately raised her voice: "This Mo Ke jewelry is the finale of tonight's auction. I heard that the starting price is five million. Miss Su, your studio has just started, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do this, right?"

I frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but before I could speak, Jiang Yichen had already taken over the conversation coldly: "Ms. Lin, it's not your turn to evaluate how capable Ms. Su is. But you, the recent investment project of the Lin Group doesn't seem to be going well, right?"

Lin Qing's face froze, obviously she was touched in a sore spot. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "Boss Jiang, you are joking. Our Lin Group's projects have always been smooth. But Boss Jiang, you don't want to buy this necklace for Miss Su tonight, do you?"

Jiang Yichen curled the corners of his lips and said calmly, "No need to bother Miss Lin about this."

Lin Qing snorted coldly and turned away, but before leaving, he did not forget to say, "Then we'll see the result at the auction."

After she walked away, I couldn't help but sigh: "Jiang Yichen, you don't have to fight with her for me. This necklace is too expensive, there is no need for us to spend this money."

Jiang Yichen shook his head, his eyes firm: "This necklace is not just jewelry, it is related to your cooperation with the Song Group. As long as you can get it, the support of Mr. Song and his wife will be yours. This investment is worth it."

I wanted to persuade him again, but the auction had already begun. As the finale, Moko Jewelry really attracted a lot of enthusiastic bidding. The starting price was 5 million, and it was raised to 10 million in just a few minutes.

Lin Qing really didn't give up, and she didn't hesitate to raise the price every time. She glanced at me from time to time, with a provocative look.

Jiang Yichen, however, remained calm, and each time he raised the price was just right, neither letting Lin Qing succeed nor letting the price get out of control.

"Fifteen million!" Lin Qing raised the sign again, his voice filled with confidence that he would win.

Jiang Yichen smiled slightly and raised the sign, saying, "Twenty million."

The whole audience was in an uproar, and even the auctioneer was stunned for a moment. Lin Qing's face suddenly turned ugly. She gritted her teeth and seemed to want to raise the price, but in the end she did not raise the card again.

"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times! Deal!" the auctioneer made the final decision.

I stood there in a daze, feeling touched but also a little uneasy: "Jiang Yichen, this... is too expensive."

He smiled nonchalantly: "As long as it can help you, this little money is nothing."

Lin Qing came over with a gloomy face: "Mr. Jiang is indeed rich and powerful, but Miss Gu, you have to be careful, there are some things that you can't afford."

I looked her straight in the eyes and said calmly, "Ms. Lin, thank you for your reminder. However, I believe that with my own strength, I can go further."

Lin Qing snorted coldly, turned and left.

After the auction, Jiang Yichen handed the Moko jewelry to me and said, "Next, it's up to you."

I clenched the necklace in my hand, my heart filled with gratitude and determination: "Jiang Yichen, how can I say you? This is really too precious."

He smiled and said gently: "I believe you."

In the evening, during dinner, Jiang's father heard that the last competing item was bought by us, and asked, "Do you want to get involved in the Song family's mess?"

What a muddy water! Is there some hidden story behind this?

"When doing things, you need to use your brain." After saying that, he said he had finished eating and went back to his room, leaving me there thinking.

I looked at Jiang Yichen with helpless eyes: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. Maybe there are too many things involved in this cooperation, and I don't want to make you too tired."

Grandma quickly comforted me.
