The door to the agent's lounge was still not opened, so Yan Xiuqun did not go to find his agent, but went to find Xu Yizhou.

After Xu Yizhou entered the banquet hall, he looked around and didn't see anyone he knew. After having a blanket and cake delivered to Xiao He, he found a seat and sat down. He propped his head with one hand and waited drowsily for the banquet to begin.

This suit was just chosen last night. After it was ready, Xiao He dragged him to train for another day, saying that he wanted to practice his posture when walking on the red carpet. He has not rested until now.

At this moment, he was dozing off in the corner, holding the prop sword in both hands. His long eyelashes cast two small shadows, and the central air conditioner above his head kept blowing out fresh air, ruffling his hair.

The black ancient costume and shorts almost blended him into the darkness, leaving only the silhouette of his side face. The intersection of light and dark looked like an ink painting done with ancient ink.

He was resting with his eyes closed and didn't notice that many people at the scene were secretly looking at him.

Just now, his red carpet look has risen to second place in an online poll, receiving huge responses and rave reviews.

No wonder netizens like him. Even at the scene, he looks very good just sitting there with a sword in his arms.

Some people are eager to ask who his stylist is, hoping that he can help design a special look for them next time.

But everyone was just thinking about it, and no one took the initiative to approach.

Only Yan Xiuqun.

He waited for two years before finally receiving an invitation to the Starlight Charity Dinner. He prepared carefully for several days before finally choosing this dress, intending to make a name for himself on the red carpet.

Unexpectedly, all the limelight was stolen by Xu Yizhou.

He opened the red carpet rankings and found that his name was outside the top ten, and Xu Yizhou was actually second.

"Your outfit today is very special."

When Xu Yizhou heard the sound, he opened his eyes and saw Yan Xiuqun looking at him with two pairs of eyes. He was so scared that he almost fell off the chair.

After finally stabilizing himself, he quickly stood up, looking left and right, not daring to look at Yan Xiuquan.

Oh shit.

He never imagined that one day he would be able to look into the eyes of the third eye and the fourth eye on Yan Xiuquan's chest.

Although I had heard that many people at this banquet would take unconventional approaches in order to stand out, I didn't expect that Yan Xiuqun, who usually looks cold and stern, would be so relaxed today!

The clothes were full of holes and there was hardly any fabric left.

"Which designer designed it for you?" Yan Xiuqun asked again.

"You want to know?"

Yan Xiuqun nodded.

He added, “I won’t tell you.”

After saying that, she turned around and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Xu Yizhou has a pure personality and is easy to fool. When Yan Xiuqun had contact with him before, because he knew how to disguise himself, the other party was quite friendly to him. However, he did not expect that this time he would reject him so bluntly.

"Did I do something to make you angry?" he asked weakly.

Xu Yizhou quickly stepped back and kept some distance between them.

"Don't come any closer. One person can't have the cake and eat it too. A fan can only follow one couple. If you come any closer, my idol will misunderstand."

As a principled fan, since he has already supported Xiao He x Jiang Ye, he has to keep his distance from Yan Xiu Qun.

Who knew that Jiang Ye wouldn't be sitting in front of the computer, watching this live broadcast?

What if he misunderstood?

Yan Xiuqun didn't understand what he meant. All his attention was on Xu Yizhou's clothes. He said directly, "Can you at least tell me who designed your look today? I don't remember Xiao He knowing any designer with this style."

"There's no point in telling you. This wasn't designed for me by the designer. It was the captain."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiuqun was shocked.

"Xiao He?"

"That's right."

"Is this the look she came up with for you? She also knows this, how come I've never heard of it?"

Yan Xiuqun frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

When he was with Xiao He before, Xiao He had no connections and no experience. Apart from being obedient and easy to order around, he had no strengths at all.

Why are there so many clever ideas now?

If she had put such an idea on herself at the beginning, why would he switch to Pan Hong's name? He would have become famous long ago.

Could it be that he is hiding it on purpose and not helping him?

But why?

Compared to Xu Yizhou, what exactly do I lack?

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw Xu Yizhou with empty hands.

The central air-conditioning temperature in the banquet venue is low today. In order to keep out the cold, the organizers gave each guest a blanket. Now most of them covered their legs with it, but Xu Yizhou's blanket was missing.

"Where's your blanket?"

Xu Yizhou explained, "I just sent it to the captain. She said it was a bit cold today. I was worried she might get sick, so I sent the blanket over."

If Xiao He gets sick because of coming to the dinner with me, how am I going to explain to Huo An and the others when I get back?

How to explain this to Jiang Ye?

He thought nervously.

When Yan Xiuqun heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at him.

"Is this how you make her treat you well?"

Xu Yizhou:?

"What?"

Yan Xiuqun seemed to be certain of his own ideas. He was better than Xu Yizhou in every aspect. The only thing he lacked was his concern.

Xiao He is a woman after all. No matter how tough she appears, she is still soft inside.

Now Pan Hong's ability is obviously insufficient. No matter her means or the way of promoting people, she is not as good as Xiao He.

If he could return to Xiao He's side, his popularity would definitely reach a new level.

As he thought about it, he quickly turned and walked towards the waiter.

Little did they know that although Xiao He usually appeared tough, he was even tougher inside.

At this time, in the agent lounge outside.

The whole room fell into a dead silence.

Because no one was talking, the temperature seemed to get even lower.

Xiao He wrapped himself in a blanket, eating cake and drinking steaming hot coffee. He didn't feel cold at all, but instead felt warm all over.

I don’t know how long it took, but the atmosphere finally eased a little, and the door was pushed open again. The waiter who had just delivered the things came again.

This time, his tray was filled with more things than before.

From drinks to snacks, from hand warmers to scarves, they were piled high like a small mountain.

"This is something Mr. Yan Xiuqun asked me to send." He said standing at the door.

Upon hearing this, Pan Hong, who had been gritting her teeth and keeping silent, suddenly stood up with a look of ecstasy on her face.

"It's mine! It's mine! Yan Xiuqun also gave it to me!"

As he walked over, he looked at the others with a show-off look.

He walked to the waiter and reached out to take it, but the other person slightly turned sideways to avoid him.

"What are you doing?!" Pan Hong asked angrily.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"I'm Pan Hong, Yan Xiuqun's agent. Why don't you give me the things?"

Hearing this, the waiter looked embarrassed. He turned to look at Xiao He, who was sitting on the other side and drinking coffee, and said, "But, Mr. Yan Xiuqun said that these things are for Ms. Xiao He?"

Xiao He?

Xiao He again?

Pan Hong raised her voice in disbelief and angrily said, "How is this possible? I'm Yan Xiuqun's manager!"

"But Mr. Yan told me to hand it over to Ms. Xiao He personally."

The waiter hesitated for two seconds, walked around Pan Hong who was blocking the way, and walked in front of Xiao He again.

Xiao He was originally not concerned and was taking a break. He was a little confused when he heard the conversation between the waiter and Pan Hong.

"Why did he give me these?"

Waiter: “I don’t know.”

Hearing this, Xiao He glanced at the surprised eyes of the other agents present, then saw Pan Hong, whose face was filled with anger, behind the waiter, and shook his head.

"I don't want these things, please send them back."

If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

Besides, she was much warmer now and didn't need so many things at all.

After Yan Xiuquan's mask was exposed last time, he has been much more obedient. What is his plan today?

Pan Hong was so angry that she was about to explode.

Seeing Xiao He's refusal, the waiter hesitated for two seconds before finally taking the food away.

As soon as the door of the lounge closed, Pan Hong rushed over.

She could still tolerate the conflicts that had occurred before, but those things just now instantly ignited her.

"What on earth did you do to Yan Xiuqun? Xiao He, in front of so many people, you poached my people. Isn't that inappropriate? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't sign Yan Xiuqun again?"

After much thought, she concluded that it could only be that Xiao He had promised Yan Xiuqun some benefits and was preparing to sign a new contract with him.

It was just like when he poached Yan Xiuqun from Xiao He.

She began to question him angrily, but Xiao He was very calm. He covered his legs with the small blanket sent by Xu Yizhou and took a sip of coffee.

However, after Pan Hong said this, she guessed the reason why Yan Xiuquan did this.

As expected of the protagonist of the novel, he is far more ambitious and shameless than ordinary people.

I made it very clear last time, but I didn't expect that he would be so persistent in his pursuit of fame.

"I haven't contacted Yan Xiuqun since the last time he and William appeared on the show together." Xiao He said directly.

"Then why did he send something to you but not to me?"

She retorted fiercely, glaring at Xiao He like a hyena always on guard against someone snatching its prey away.

Xiao He asked back: "Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

She opened the page of the Starlight Charity Dinner.

"Yan Xiuqun overdid it on today's red carpet look and ranked lower, while Xu Yizhou is now in second place."

Yan Xiuqun's usual style has always been that of a cool and aloof president, which has attracted many fans and made him famous. However, on the red carpet this time, he was a little too eager for success and chose a very bold, exaggerated, and even somewhat revealing outfit.

This look is very different from his usual personality, and as soon as it appeared, it was opposed by fans.

Just now on the big screen, she saw Yan Xiuqun go to find Xu Yizhou, and not long after, she received the things he sent.

I guess he got some information and immediately came up with a countermeasure.

"It's not me who goes to find him, but he wants to come to me." Xiao He said directly.

Hearing this, Pan Hong's expression became even uglier.

Because Yan Xiuqun's look tonight was prepared by a designer, she originally wanted it to amaze the audience, but unexpectedly it became a red carpet disaster.

Xiao He said, "Keep a good eye on your artists. If they continue to be so indecisive, it will be difficult for them to make a name for themselves in the future."

According to the description in the original book, Yan Xiuquan was about to win the first award in his life, but judging from the current situation, his progress has completely fallen behind.

Pan Hong angrily said, "I know exactly how to lead an artist. I don't need you to teach me!"

After saying that, he sat on the sofa on the side with a gloomy face.

From tonight until now, she has lost completely.

Not only was Yan Xiuquan's popularity suppressed, but he himself also lost face.

However, it is still uncertain who will win or lose in the end, as she still has one last trick up her sleeve.

Among the people attending the dinner today, in addition to top-tier artists, there are also many big names in the political and business circles. As long as you can successfully get close to one of them, your future will be smooth sailing and you will no longer have to worry about resources and connections.

Yan Xiuqun's outfit is not just for showing off on the red carpet.

At this time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall had become completely lively.

Before the auction begins, there is time reserved for the guests to expand their social networks. Everyone holds a glass of wine, clinking glasses, and exchanging greetings and laughter.

Xu Yizhou was so focused on acting that he wasn't interested in the scene in front of him and just watched from a distance.

Instead, it was Yan Xiuquan who immediately walked over there after seeing several important figures appear.

The banquet hall at this moment is like a microcosm of the entire entertainment industry. Everyone is trying hard to climb up at all costs. As long as they can climb a high branch, they can become successful.

The more powerful and high-ranking a person is, the more people will gather around him.

At this time, the door of the banquet hall was opened and someone came in late.

It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples to appear on the mirror-like surface, spreading out continuously from the gate to the surrounding areas.

The entire banquet hall was in an uproar.

Before Xu Yizhou could see clearly who the person was, the people around him had already rushed over and surrounded the door tightly, leaving no gap.

Different from just now.

In the past, celebrities would surround wealthy businessmen.

And now, even those arrogant wealthy businessmen gathered in the crowd, looking eagerly at the lady who walked in. They expressed their admiration without any concealment.

"Yunshu! Yunshu! Will you donate something for the auction today? I'll definitely pay a high price for it!"

"Yun Shu! Can we have dinner together tonight?"

"I came here today just for you!"

"And me!"

…

Amidst the clamor, a friendly female voice, with a smile, replied calmly and gently:

"Sorry, I was invited by the organizer today to participate in the production of the program."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone exclaimed again.

"No wonder this year's event is so exciting. It turns out you created it! The style of the venue is also different from before. It looks much better."

Xu Yizhou didn't go over to join in the fun, but when he heard this, he felt like laughing.

I didn't expect that these wealthy businessmen who are usually arrogant and self-righteous can be so exaggerated when they blow flattery.

Just as I was thinking about it, I found that a group of people were gradually approaching this side.

A woman came out surrounded by a crowd.

"It's He Yunshu!"

In the lounge, an agent exclaimed.

Her appearance made everything that just happened seem reasonable.

Among all the people present, no one would not know her, or even looking across the country, there are only a few people who don’t know her.

Even Xiao He, an outsider, had heard of her famous name.

He Yunshu is a well-known evergreen in the film industry.

Her film and television works can be traced back to forty years ago, from the old movies of that time to the entertainment industry in recent years. No matter the ups and downs, no matter how the entertainment trends change, she seems to always stand on the crest of the wave and stand firm.

She has been in the industry for forty years and has been popular for forty years. Not only does she have outstanding acting skills, but her beauty has also always been online. She is known as a national treasure actor who has unified the aesthetic tastes of three generations of old, middle-aged and young people. Since the establishment of the film and television industry, there has only been such a person.

She never married and had no children. She dedicated her entire life to her acting career. To this day, she is still active in the film industry. She is a treasure of the film and television industry and a miracle in the history of acting.

At this time, He Yunshu is nearly sixty years old, but she still looks young in the camera, with fair and firm skin, calm and elegant steps, and every strand of hair seems to have been carefully groomed.

Time seems to be particularly kind to her, leaving no trace of marks on her face. Her eyes are always bright, calm and full of hope.

This is why everyone loves her so much.

As soon as she appeared, the originally messy banquet hall seemed to finally find its center.

Xiao He looked carefully at the person on the screen.

She had a perfect smile on her face, seeming both friendly and distant. She walked inside while talking to the people around her.

At this time, everyone in the banquet hall followed her, and Xu Yizhou, who was standing still, became awkward.

He Yunshu led the people behind him to the front row. Just as he passed by him, he couldn't help but look at him, paused for two seconds, and then slowly walked forward.

He Yunshu is known in the entertainment industry for being approachable, so this little episode did not attract the attention of others.

But Xiao He clearly felt that when she saw Xu Yizhou, a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes. She lowered her eyes almost imperceptibly before finally leaving.

But Xu Yizhou looked a little nervous.

Only after the huge crowd of people had gone away did he finally relax.

As soon as He Yunshu arrived, the dinner officially entered the highlight of the day.

The fundraising method of the Starlight Charity Dinner is very simple and crude. Celebrities donate items on their own initiative, which are then auctioned on site, and all proceeds are used as charity funds.

Xu Yizhou also participated in the donation.

When the general manager gave Xiao He the invitation, there was not much time left before the dinner. After solving the clothing problem, Xiao He went to Xu Yizhou's house and looked around, but couldn't find anything suitable to donate.

In the end, he had to stay up late to make one.

It was just finished, and before Xiao He had time to take a look at it, he hurried over to attend the dinner.

However, looking back at previous sessions, the quality of the auction items brought by the artists was similar. As long as they were their own works, they were hard to describe, and most buyers would give them face. It was completely a charity.

So even if Xu Yizhou's things are a little worse, they shouldn't be too conspicuous.

But unexpectedly, this year's auction items are very different from previous ones.

The first one to appear is a sculpture of a middle-aged male actor.

When he first came on stage, he was extremely modest and only said that it was a work he was learning. Unexpectedly, when he lifted the silk ribbon, there was a jade carving of a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

The jade is translucent in texture and the carving is exquisite. It would take at least three to five years to produce such a fine work!

Sure enough, this jade carving was sold at an excellent price, setting a new record for the Starlight Charity Dinner.

With his good start, none of the subsequent auction items were bad.

There are oil paintings with exquisite techniques and gorgeous styles; there are ink-splashed landscape paintings with sharp brushstrokes and freehand strokes; and there are also some rare collectibles, porcelain and jade wares, which all make their debut one after another.

It feels like a real auction house, completely different from the previous playful style.

"Maybe it's because this year's dinner was designed by Teacher He Yunshu?"

The name alone is enough to make everyone take out their best treasures to show their support.

In the agent lounge, everyone was talking.

"If I had known everyone was bringing out such great stuff, I should have asked the artists to prepare well. What if they embarrass themselves on stage later?"

"Me too. I only looked at the auction items from the past two years. The preparations were too simple."

Xiao He felt a little relieved when he heard this.

Fortunately, Yan Xiuquan was not the only one who was not prepared.

Just as I was thinking about it, the agents opposite continued chatting.

"What did your artist prepare?"

"A gold bracelet inlaid with jade."

"The artist I'm bringing with me has an antique business, so they prepared a tea set that's probably one or two hundred years old."

"You guys are in luck. I even asked his father to paint a picture for me. It's not an antique, but his father is a painter. He's held an exhibition before, and the result was quite good."

"Alas, the auction items we prepared are too simple. I wonder if anyone will be willing to buy them later."

…

Xiao He: "..."

Is this simple?

The heart that had just been relieved was lifted a little again.

I don’t know what Xu Yizhou prepared. It only took him more than an hour to complete it. I don’t think it’s something good.

At this time, several agents turned around and asked, "Xiao He, since this is Xu Yizhou's first time attending, he must have prepared something great, right?"

Xiao He sat calmly on the sofa, smiled and nodded.

Several people started discussing again.

"It should be quite good. The movie he starred in before, 'Zombieland', was a huge hit at the box office. He should have received a lot of money. Even if we take out one tenth of it, it would be more than enough."

Xiao He didn't say anything.

The pay for Zombieland?

All that money had been used by Xu Yizhou to invest in "The Swordsman". Now he was a penniless pauper who had to go to the company cafeteria for meals.

He has a small amount of money to buy antiques and jade.

One of the agents said worriedly, "I'm afraid that when the auction starts, the items we've prepared won't be good enough and won't sell, or will only sell for a few thousand dollars. That would be embarrassing."

"Yes, there was one last year. In the end, the filming didn't happen, and the artist just stood there on stage for ten minutes. If that were my artist, as his agent, I'd want to find a hole to crawl into."

They thought worriedly.

Xiao He: ...

Why do you feel like you're being implied?

Could it be that the things Xu Yizhou prepared today cannot be sold?

Just as I was thinking about it, the auction on the stage went on for several more rounds.

The auction items this year are all pretty good, and with He Yunshu in charge, many people want to be in the spotlight, so they are not stingy when it comes to bidding.

The cumulative amount on the big screen has already exceeded eight digits and is still rising.

"Xiao He! Xiao He! It's Xu Yizhou's turn!"

Xiao He was thinking when someone shouted.

She looked up and saw Xu Yizhou pushing a large rack onto the stage amid the host's passionate introduction.

"The 18th lot is a self-portrait donated by Mr. Xu Yizhou."

"This painting was created by him personally, with ingenious conception and originality, and the painting reflects the author's unique creative concept."

As soon as he said this, the other agents all looked at him with surprise.

"I didn't expect Xu Yizhou could actually paint oil paintings!"

Xiao He's expression was not as joyful as the others. Instead, his brows were slightly furrowed and he stared at the screen intently.

“That’s the first time I’ve heard of this, too.”

Others said, "If he can use his own works to participate in the auction, he must be a good painter. You don't need to worry so much."

"Yes, Xu Yizhou's looks are guaranteed, and this is a self-portrait, so it must be very beautiful! For this reason alone, there will be many people willing to bid."

Xiao He didn't respond.

She had a bad feeling.

When the host was introducing the auction item, there was a slightly strange expression on his face.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Yizhou finally took the microphone.

"The name of this work is 'I'. There is no reserve price for the auction. I hope everyone likes it."

After saying that, he lifted the black cloth covering the easel with a whoosh.

Many people stretched their necks and looked over curiously.

The stage was brightly lit, and as the black cloth fell, a very special painting appeared in everyone's sight.

When introducing this painting just now, the host used a lot of fancy words and introduced it for a full two minutes, which piqued the interest of everyone present.

As the cloth was lifted, the whole place fell into silence.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment at this moment.

On that small canvas, almost all the visible colors on the palette are used up, piled together in a disorderly manner, and the rigid triangle and square lines outline the contours of a face.

The triangular face, square eyes, distorted facial features, and the background with no discernible shape made it look like the graffiti that an elementary school student had randomly put together on his textbook with a triangle ruler during class.

It is said to be a self-portrait, but it does not look at all like Xu Yizhou. Even whether the person in the painting is a person remains to be verified.

Everyone stared at the painting in Xu Yizhou's hand with wide eyes.

After a long while, a soul-searching question came out:

"What is this?"

"What's that?"

"Is it a person?"

…

The silence spread from the banquet hall to the brokers' lounge.

Several colleagues who had just been praising Xu Yizhou's versatility, the moment they saw the painting, they all sprayed out water with a "plop".

At this moment, the camera just cut to a close-up of the picture.

When I was photographing other objects before, I saw the elegance of porcelain and the luxury of jade up close, and the pictures sparkled with sparkles, which drew bursts of admiration.

But now, there is deathly silence.

It was not known whether it was Xiao He's illusion, but the broadcasted image not only lacked any flashing special effects, but was also filled with a faint black aura, which directly presented a kind of visual pollution.

"Xiao He, Xu Yizhou's painting... this one is quite unique."

"Exactly. Look at these lines, how straight they are. They look like they were drawn with a ruler. There's a bit of technical skill involved."

They whispered comforting words.

Although Xiao He had prepared himself mentally, he was still startled by the painting in front of him.

Just like drawing with a ruler?

That's what you draw with a ruler!

No wonder when she went to pick someone up this afternoon, she saw several paint-covered triangles in the trash can of Xu Yizhou's house.

I didn’t know what was going on at the time, but now when I look at the painting, it’s all about technology and hard work.

Even so, Xu Yizhou could still confidently say that there was no problem?

Xiao He's mouth twitched.

If I didn't have enough willpower, I would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In fact, if this painting had been put up at a banquet a few years ago, it would at most be a little ugly, after all, everyone's auction items were similar.

But this year everyone seems to be cheating, and in comparison, Xu Yizhou's self-portrait seems even more eye-catching.

Pan Hong waited all night and finally found an opportunity. The moment the cloth was lifted, she burst out laughing.

"I thought it was something special, but it's a bit perfunctory to bring something like this to a charity auction. Luckily, he had the sense to not set a reserve price, otherwise people would think he was trying to scam people out of their money."

"Xiao He, you don't have to worry too much. If there's no reserve price for a work and no one calls for it, the organizer will buy it. But the price won't be much. Five or ten yuan is acceptable."

While she was comforting him, every word she said was full of sarcasm and cunning.

The other agents just laughed dryly and said nothing.

Pan Hong was right. The works without a reserve price would eventually be sold by the organizer, but even so, the scene was very embarrassing.

But judging from the current situation, this is the only possible outcome for Xu Yizhou's painting.

In this case, if it was brought by other top stars, people might give it a favor and spend a few thousand dollars to buy it.

But the person who donated this painting happened to be Xu Yizhou.

A new actor who has only one work and has not yet established a firm foothold in the film and television industry.

No one was willing to give him this face.

He has neither the right time, the right place, nor the right people.

So half of the ten-minute auction process had passed, but no one was willing to bid.

Only Xu Yizhou was left standing on the stage holding the painting.

Seeing this, the host nervously gripped the microphone, ready to say a few more words to liven up the atmosphere.

As I took a step forward, the first row of people in the audience suddenly held up a sign.

Along with this action, a soft voice was heard.

"One hundred thousand."

The sound was not loud, but it was like a bomb dropped directly into the banquet hall.

Everyone was excited, and those in the back row stood up and looked, and found that the person holding the sign was He Yunshu!

She sat upright in the first row, her dress without a single wrinkle, showing off her luxury and elegance. As always, she had a faint smile on her face and faced everyone's shocked gazes calmly.

From the beginning of this year's charity auction to now, He Yunshu has not bought anything.

Everyone was speculating whether it was because her standards were too high and she couldn't find the right one, but no one expected that the first item He Yunshu bid on would be such a self-portrait with absolutely no highlights.

Xu Yizhou on the stage was also a little surprised. He looked over quickly, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Although no one knows why He Yunshu asked for the price, in the film and television industry, her name represents status and her words can trigger a trend.

He Yunshu had just finished quoting the price when someone else raised a sign.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

Then one after another.

"One hundred and four hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and sixty thousand."

…

In just a few seconds, the painting suddenly went from being a hot commodity to being ignored.

Soon, the bid reached 300,000.

Just because of He Yunshu's words, the situation on the scene changed.

When the bidding was at its most intense, He Yunshu raised the sign again.

"Four hundred thousand."

She slowly threw out a staggering number, then stood up, nodded slightly to everyone present, and said softly, "I like this painting very much. Please give it up."

This sentence gave face to everyone, including Xu Yizhou.

Upon hearing this, the crazy guests quickly calmed down and stopped.

After hearing the news three times, the host showed an excited expression on his face and knocked the gavel in his hand.

"Four hundred thousand, deal!"

He Yunshu, who was sitting in the audience, smiled faintly and stood up and walked towards the stage.

Many people are still in shock.

Although this work is not the most expensive tonight, it is the most competitive and the most bizarre.

Why does He Yunshu like this painting so much?

The high price of 400,000 yuan is enough to buy a work of art by a famous contemporary painter on the market.

Now, it was spent on a strange painting.

And looking at He Yunshu's appearance, he seemed very happy, with a bright smile on his face and stars shining in his eyes.

She had already walked quickly onto the stage, her eyes fixed on Xu Yizhou across from her, praising him: "This painting is very beautiful."

Xu Yizhou, however, seemed much more reserved, not looking very happy, and his expression was a little cold.

"Thanks."

After saying that, he was about to hand the painting to her, but unexpectedly He Yunshu took a step forward, opened his arms, and hugged him gently.

On stage, hugging each other is a common etiquette, but Xu Yizhou acted stiff and stood there motionless until He Yunshu let go of his hand.

She looked at Xu Yizhou deeply, then took the painting and waved to everyone in the audience.

"Thank you everyone."

He Yunshu seemed to be in a good mood. After saying his thanks, he looked behind him, but didn't see Xu Yizhou, and was stunned for a moment.

The host explained: "He just went down."

Hearing this, He Yunshu nodded slightly and returned to his previous decent smile.

"Thank you. I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he turned and left.

But the host saw a moment of loss in her eyes.

Is she feeling sad just because Xu Yizhou didn't wait for her?

The host was a little confused, but it was too late to think about it because the next item had already come on stage.

He glanced at the script card in his hand, an uncontrollable expression of shock appeared on his face, his eyes widened, and he looked uncertainly in the director's direction.

After receiving a positive response from the other party, I finally began to introduce myself:

"The next lot is provided by Mr. Yan Xiuqun. He is auctioning a week-long exclusive companionship."
