Yang Zhi, however, looked relaxed: "Don't worry, your senior sister, I have plenty of money. I just took a private job recently to paint a mural for a rich man's newly bought sea view villa. I got this much money."

After saying that, he made a scissors hand gesture.

Wen Xi was silent.

With my senior sister’s current fame, such a large project as the mural cannot possibly cost 200,000, it must be at least 2 million.

"so much?"

"Well, so you don't have to worry, Junior Sister. I like your painting to begin with and really want to buy it. I'm doing a good deed and getting a bargain at the same time, so why not? If you're really worried about me getting hurt, then become a great painter quickly. Then if the value of your painting increases, I'll make a fortune."

Wen Xi nodded: "Okay, Senior Sister, please wait, I will do it as soon as possible."

Yang Zhi was amused by Wen Xi's serious look on her face as she was trying to make him rich. He patted her on the head and said, "Hey, I was just kidding. I won't sell it no matter how much I earn. I'll pass this painting down as a family heirloom, so you must keep up the good work, Junior Sister! I'm looking forward to the day you become a great painter!"

"Well, I will work hard, and Senior Sister should also work hard!"

"I?"

"Well, I have to have a baby with my senior brother soon so that the treasure can be passed down to future generations!"

"You girl..." Yang Zhi's face flushed suddenly when her sweetheart was mentioned unexpectedly.

As the two whispered, the entire venue fell silent.

1.1 million! Just over one square foot!

This size and age are considered extremely high in the entire calligraphy and painting collection market.

Although it is the winning work, compared with Xue Ziqi, who has already made a name for herself in the circle and published a collection of paintings, this winner is much less famous. It is another matter whether he can continue on this path in the future.

Moreover, even if he becomes a full-time painter in the future, he is still so young and will definitely create many works in the future. What the collection market values ​​most is scarcity. This is why the works of deceased or elderly painters can be sold at sky-high prices, because as time goes by, the works of these older generation painters will flow into the market less and less.

Compared with these recognized old painters, Wen Xi is full of uncertainties in all aspects.

Are her paintings worth that much?

Even though it's charity, we can't lose too much.

Besides, in the art industry, success doesn’t come just from talent.

Timing, luck...many things are beyond human control.

Those who knew that Wen Xi had a grudge against Xue Ziqi were even less optimistic about her.

Nowadays, connections are important in every circle, especially in China, a society where relationships are important. Do you want to get away after offending Xue Pan?

Disaster!

Most people have made a preconceived conclusion, but there are still a small number of people who don't think so.

Some of them are here to do charity sincerely. They value the paintings participating in the auction and do not mind spending a lot of money as long as it is within an acceptable range.

There are also those speculators and collectors with the sharpest eyes. They don't care about anything else and only judge the value of the work based on their accumulated experience. For these people, the trading market is not limited to the domestic market. As long as the things are really good, there will be no shortage of markets no matter where they are. The Xue family's hands cannot reach that far.

So not long after Yang Zhi started bidding, those who had come to their senses also reacted and started bidding as well.

Xue Ziqi's eyes were as big as cow's, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth had not yet been retracted, making him look a little funny.

She found it funny when Yang Zhi took action.

It's okay to stand out once, but can you stand out every time?

Do you still want this face?
