The painting was originally worth 13 million yuan, but Qiu Shui forced the price to 20 million yuan.

The auctioneer was happy, and the people watching the show were also enjoying it. Only Qin Ze was so angry that he smashed things in the box.

"Haozi, do you think Qin Ze is going crazy now?" Xia Canyang said gloatingly.

Zhou Hao raised his head and glanced at Box No. 9, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "It should be."

Although this might offend Qin Ze to death, it's so refreshing!

"He deserves it. He was so arrogant just now." If it weren't for Qin Ze's identity, Bao Yingyuan would have wanted to beat him up just now. Qin Ze really deserves a beating.

The next item was quickly brought to the auction table by a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam.

It was an antique hairpin. Qiu Shui had no interest in hairpins, so he didn't buy it.

However, some people who brought their female companions or some ladies of high status were very interested in this hairpin.

Finally, the hairpin fell into the hands of a forty-year-old female boss.

Soon, each auction item found its owner.

However, except for the painting of cranes celebrating birthday that Qin Ze had bid for before, no one in the other boxes had bid.

Things worth tens or hundreds of millions didn't seem to be valued by them.

Qiu Shui flipped through the auction album in his hand and pointed at a photo in the album.

The photo shows a pair of five-centimeter-sized dragon-shaped jade pendants that are carved to look lifelike.

"The next lot is the oldest of all the items we are auctioning tonight. It is a pair of dragon-shaped warm jade pendants worn by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty."

"When the two jade pendants are separated, they are separate jade pendants. When they are put together, they become a round double dragon jade pendant."

At the auction table, someone picked up the jade pendant and showed everyone what the two jade pendants looked like when separated and combined.

The workmanship of the jade pendant is very fine, the double dragons are carved lifelike, and the texture of the jade is so shiny and smooth that you can see it on the big screen.

What's more, this pair of jade pendants has a very interesting origin. This makes this pair of jade pendants even more priceless.

Qiu Shui was instantly attracted when he saw it.

"The starting price for this pair of jade pendants is 20 million, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 million."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, many people raised their signs.

The offer for Box No. 11 appeared on the big screen.

"Box 11, 26 million."

"Box No. 13, 27 million."

"Box No. 8, 29 million."

…

When the first box made a bid, the people on the first floor stopped bidding.

When they saw bids being placed in other boxes one after another, the others knew that the people in those boxes were waiting for the pair of jade pendants.

"Box No. 6, 35 million."

When box number six made a bid, people in other boxes stopped bidding.

It’s not that they are afraid of the people in box six, but because the price of 32 million has already touched the bottom line of some people.

The highest price of that pair of jade pendants is about 35 million.

Zhang Jiayun and the others were not surprised when they saw the people in the box bidding as if they were free. Instead, they were as excited as if they were watching a showdown between two powerful men.

"35 million once, 35 million twice..."

Just when everyone thought that the pair of jade pendants would fall into the hands of the person in box number six, Qiu Shui raised his sign.

"38 million."

Everyone looked at Qiu Shui at the same time.

He actually made an offer?

"Mr. 8 bids 38 million, 38 million at a time..."

The people in the boxes on the second floor did not make any more bids, as this price was already beyond the value of the jade pendant.

"38 million, Box 9 offered 40 million."

Suddenly, a box number appeared on the screen again, and box number nine made a bid.

That was the box where Qin Ze was.

Qiu Shui looked towards Box No. 9 and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Qin Ze looked at Qiu Shui's frowning face on the screen, and the anger in his heart instantly subsided a lot.

This damn guy made him spend so much money to buy that painting.

Then he can forget about getting the jade pendant easily.

That’s right, Qin Ze came here purely to cause trouble for Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui didn't expect Qin Ze to make an offer suddenly, but it didn't matter.

He raised the sign again and shouted, "43 million."

When Qin Ze saw Qiu Shui bid again, he immediately shouted to Lu Qiang: "Bid, 45 million."

"This..." Lu Qiang hesitated and said, "Mr. Qin, that jade is not worth that much money."

"Why do you care whether it's worth that much money? Just bid your price." Qin Ze didn't care how much the jade was worth. He just wanted to keep raising the price of the jade.

Since Qiu Shui has bid twice, it means that he must also want the jade.

"But, what if that liar doesn't bid..." Lu Qiang was worried that if Qiu Shui didn't bid, then Qin Ze would have to pay for the jade.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see that he has made another bid? He must really want the jade and will definitely raise the price again. As long as he raises the price, I won't follow suit."

Whenever Qin Ze thought about having Qiu Shui give him a few million more for free, he felt extremely comfortable.

Seeing that Lu Qiang hadn't made any move, he shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you make an offer?"

Lu Qiang gritted his teeth and pressed the button for 45 million.

"Box No. 9 offers 45 million."

The auctioneer set his sights on Qiu Shui and asked, "Is there any higher price?"

Zhang Jiayun and others looked at Qiu Shui with some concern. They wanted to persuade Qiu Shui that the price was too high and it was not appropriate to increase it further.

But this is an auction, and Qiu Shui has already been persuaded once. If they tried to persuade him again, they were afraid Qiu Shui would misunderstand that they looked down on him. I feel he can't afford the money.

So they hoped Qiu Shui could be more rational and not be angered by Qin Ze.

However, Qiu Shui, who had been frowning, relaxed his brows after seeing Qin Ze bid again. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

So everyone was expecting him to raise the sign, but he didn't move.

"Raise it, why not?" Qin Ze saw that Qiu Shui did not raise the sign as he expected, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

"45 million first, 450 million second."

The auctioneer's eyes fell on Qiu Shui, as if reminding him that if he didn't bid, he would have no chance.

"Make a bid, why not bid?" Qin Ze in the box was anxious.

However, Qiu Shui remained indifferent.

"45 million for the third time."

The auctioneer's hammer fell down and rang loudly, and then he congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Box 9 for winning this pair of warm jades at a price of 45 million."

Qiu Shui was the first to applaud, then looked up at box number nine and smiled brightly.

Qin Ze widened his eyes and stared at the big screen. I couldn't believe it, but Qiu Shui didn't raise the price. He bought the jade pendant at a high price of 45 million.

But his father only gave him 20 million, so where did he get 45 million to buy the jade pendant? He has no money!

When he saw Qiu Shui's smiling face, his hands understood.

Qin Ze was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Damn it, I was fooled by that liar."

Lu Qiang and his lackeys immediately hid in the corner, but Qin Ze still took his anger out on them.

"Damn it, are you guys all blind? Why didn't you stop me just now? 45 million, that much money, just to buy two broken jade pendants. You pig-headed people, don't you know how to stop me?"

After all, Qin Ze had lived in the city for more than 20 years, so when he cursed people, he used all kinds of dirty words.

Although Lu Qiang and his companions were indignant, they did not dare to say anything.

After all, when they tried to curry favor with Qin Ze, they offended many people in the circle. For example, Zhang Jiayun and others.

They also need to rely on Qin Ze's identity as a backer, and of course they cannot offend Qin Ze.

But not offending others doesn't mean they won't be angry.

It was obviously Qin Ze who asked them to help him make a bid. Lu Qiang also tried to persuade him just now, but he just didn't listen.

Now they are taking their anger out on them, and everyone would be angry.

It’s just that they dare not speak out.

"Qiu Shao, didn't you want to take a picture of the jade pendant? Why did you suddenly..." Zhang Jiayun saw Qin Ze taking a picture of the jade pendant and Qiu Shui smiled so proudly. He immediately understood, "Didn't you want to take a picture of the jade pendant?"

Qiu Shui smiled faintly and said, "Although I like the jade pendant very much, I am not a fool to spend 45 million to buy a pair of jade pendants."

The implication is that Qin Ze, who paid 45 million for the jade pendant, is a fool.

Zhou Hao couldn't help but ask Qiu Shui, "Mr. Qiu, how did you know that Qin Ze would deliberately raise the price?"

Qiu Shui shrugged, "I don't know, but since he's made the offer, I'll be a good person and give it to him."

And after suffering a loss this time, Qin Ze should not dare to raise the price recklessly again. Unless he has too much money to spend.

But would an illegitimate child who had just been brought home have so much money?

The answer is no.

"this……"

Zhang Jiayun was speechless. He was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Shui tricked Qin Ze again.

Zhou Hao and his friends didn't expect that the jade pendant was actually a trap set by Qiu Shui for Qin Ze.

Even now it seems that Qiu Shui didn't care at all and offended Qin Ze completely.

The system watched the whole process.

"Host, it's not the jade pendant you want, right?"

Qiu Shui said, "System, I didn't expect you knew that. That's right, the jade pendant wasn't what I wanted."

"Host, how can you be sure that Qin Ze will make a bid?" In the system's view, its host is so stingy that the jade pendant is not what he wants. If he wasn't absolutely sure, he wouldn't have made a bid.

Qiu Shui replied in his mind with a smile: "I deliberately raised the price of the painting by several million just now, and he must have been very angry. Seeing that I ignored Box No. 6 and finally made an offer, he must have thought that I really wanted the jade pendant. If I don't take this opportunity to retaliate, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

The system suddenly realized that its host had actually seen through Qin Ze's character.

When the others saw that Qin Ze had been fooled by Qiu Shui again, they immediately looked at Qiu Shui differently.

Fang Jun in Box No. 1 looked at Qiu Shui's smiling and unusually calm face on the big screen, and actually smiled as well.

"interesting."
