"60 million!"
"70 million!"
"80 million!"
Fu Yanci's announcement of 50 million seemed to send a signal to everyone present.
Prices opened high and continued to rise.
Jiang Chengcheng felt as if the world had gone mad with the big shots in the front row who hadn't been bidding much all night but were now raising their paddles like madmen.
"90 million per time..."
"...90 million twice!"
"...90 million three times!"
clatter!
Congratulations to Mr. Nan, number 18!
A round of applause erupted as the large screen displayed the prices of all the items in the auction, along with the studios to which they belonged.
Ye Li Studio is ranked first.
With the two pieces of jewelry, For Love and Green Silk, the charity gala received donations of 42 million.
After deducting taxes, Ye Li Studio earned over 80 million yuan.
Even Diane, who had five works up for auction, couldn't compete.
Even after leaving the banquet hall, Jiang Chengcheng still felt like she had been tricked.
She shouldn't have brought this humiliation upon herself!
This is not a legitimate jewelry exhibition at all.
Ultimately, they're just there to amuse the big shots at high-society auctions.
But Jiang Chengcheng never expected that one day she would become the source of all the fun.
Thinking about Zhou Hechen's actions, Jiang Chengcheng felt filled with resentment and grievance.
If he had come earlier, if he had shown any consideration as a boyfriend, her artwork wouldn't have sold for 8 million.
Although she was hundreds of times better than the pieces that were rejected at the jewelry exhibition that afternoon, and compared to her classmates who had never participated in any decent jewelry exhibitions to date.
But at the auction just now, her piece had the lowest price of the entire auction.
On the one hand, she felt that such a result was already quite good, and she should not compare herself with Ye Li, but only with herself.
On one hand, I couldn't stop feeling humiliated.
Jiang Chengcheng's face darkened as she walked all the way to the underground parking lot and found Zhou Hechen's car.
Backstage at the auction, Zhou Hechen also looked gloomy.
God knows how ecstatic Fu Yanci was the moment he gave up.
However, it turns out that the jewelry set he bought for 50 million was actually the work of another designer from Ye Li's studio.
That's not Ye Li's work at all.
What was the point of his madness just now?
"Fu Yanci, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Looking back at Fu Yanci, who was helping Ye Li into the registration process, Zhou Hechen's expression was filled with resentment.
Fu Yanci's gaze swept lightly over Zhou Hechen, and he said in a deep voice, "If you go back on your word, as your uncle, I don't mind helping you clean up the mess. But, Zhou Hechen, admitting defeat requires the right attitude."
Zhou Hechen's face instantly turned red.
When he turned around, he saw Ye Li smiling sweetly, but she hadn't looked at him once from beginning to end.
He clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly for a long time. Then, as if remembering something, Zhou Hechen smiled and looked up at Fu Yanci, "Uncle, then... I'll have to trouble you!"
Look at that set of lustrous jewelry in the display case.
Let's take a look at Ye Li, who is standing opposite Jiang Wanruo.
Zhou Hechen curled his lips, "Anyway, you've coveted my things and tried to steal them more than once or twice. Since you agree with my judgment so much, then I'll admit defeat!"
Fu Yanci's expression darkened slightly.
Zhou Hechen turned and left.
The moment he stepped out of the banquet hall, the smile in his eyes turned sinister.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengcheng again, a cold smile crept into Zhou Hechen's eyes. "Get in the car!"
The Bugatti sped along, entering the underground parking lot of the Yunjing Hotel in just over ten minutes.
Snap!
As Jiang Chengcheng entered the suite, before she could even utter a coquettish complaint, she was stunned by a slap that Zhou Hechen turned around and threw at her.
"Jiang Chengcheng, have I been too kind to you?"
Grabbing Jiang Chengcheng by the neck and pinning her against the wall, Zhou Hechen's eyes were bloodshot. "What, you think you've got my weakness in your grasp just because you've got Ye Li? You think you're worthy?"
His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Half of my face was also burning and swollen.
Looking at Zhou Hechen, who was almost insane, Jiang Chengcheng finally realized where the demonic voice in her heart came from.
What she thought was love that would grow over time was nothing more than a clumsy imitation in his eyes.
Just a stand-in!
Even if he was the loser who was dumped by Ye Li.
Even though Ye Li had already abandoned him.
In his heart, Ye Li was still the white moonlight he longed for.
She foolishly believed that with time he would forget Ye Li and that his eyes and heart would only see and hold her.
Jiang Chengcheng, you're a fucking idiot!
The taste of blood filled her mouth as Jiang Chengcheng stared intently at Zhou Hechen, the flame in her heart slowly dying out.
Zhou Hechen released his grip.
The air was thick with the scent of alcohol.
Hearing him make a phone call to his friends, Jiang Chengcheng felt as if his earlier malice and irritability were just her imagination. She lay on the ground, letting her tears flow freely.
Staggering out of the suite and the elevator, Jiang Chengcheng wiped away her tears as the night wind blew, and then made a phone call.
"President Lin..."
The image in my mind is that of a man in a black suit with a profound demeanor in the banquet hall.
Before me was the full moon overhead, seemingly within reach.
Jiang Chengcheng's voice was gentle, "I've thought it over, and I agree to your proposal! ...Okay, see you tomorrow!"
...
The Maybach drove smoothly toward the Lishan Mansion. In the passenger seat, Ye Li angrily said, "I told you not to come! Everyone knows I'm just a bully relying on your power, Fu Ye. Fu Yanci, you are the biggest obstacle on my road to success!"
