Wen Xi turned a blind eye to Xue Ziqi's hostility.
Since the school's welcome dance, the two have hardly seen each other.
The third-place boy saw Xue Ziqi's undisguised hostility towards Wen Xi, and Wen Xi's cold look that said, "Don't mess with me, or I'll make you suffer," and he nervously sat down between the two of them.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have changed seats.
Inexplicably awkward.
Fortunately, Wen Xi nodded to him and then whispered to the person next to him about the paintings in the auction catalog.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't quarrel.
He has a good-natured personality and a mild temper, but he can't handle such a big situation...
At ten o'clock sharp, the auction officially began.
Because of Xue Pan's identity as the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and because he has many followers, many people supported Xue Ziqi.
Not only were her paintings printed in the best positions in the auction catalog, but the related introductions were also very detailed and lengthy, which made people who were not in the know think that she was the champion of this competition.
In addition, she had previously published a picture album with her grandfather's favorite disciple and was already somewhat famous. Therefore, as soon as her winning work appeared, it attracted many people to bid for it.
Most of the people in the same industry were there to show their support, while the other invited businessmen and celebrities felt like they were trying to find a bargain, after all, the starting prices of the items auctioned for charity events would not be too high.
Seeing everyone competing to bid, Xue Ziqi's anger, which had been building up since he saw Wen Xi, subsided a lot.
Oh, so what if I'm the champion?
Whether or not one has the strength is determined by the market.
Any of his works can be sold for hundreds of thousands, which is better than many painters who are much older than him. Wen Xi, this jinx, can never catch up even if he flatters!
Among the works that have just been shot, except for a new star who has been in the limelight recently, the rest are inferior to hers.
Bids were raised one after another, and Xue Ziqi's painting was finally sold for 1 million.
Xue Pan smiled and nodded, looking quite satisfied.
For a painting of this size, the price it fetched for my granddaughter’s age is quite impressive!
Xue Ziqi was also very proud. He walked onto the stage with a proud look on his face, took the painting from the emcee and handed it to the winner.
After a high-sounding speech, Xue Ziqi returned to his seat with a proud and confident look, ready to watch Wen Xi make a fool of himself.
Isn’t it a joke that the champion doesn’t earn as much as she, the third place?
Sensing the unfriendly look in her eyes, Yang Zhi shook Wen Xi's hand and said gently, "It's okay, Junior Sister. Gold will always shine."
Yang Zhi didn't believe that everyone was blind. Her junior sister's paintings were so good, even if they were suppressed by some unsightly means, there would always be someone with a discerning eye who could recognize her talent. If no one really recognized her talent, she would be glad that no one was trying to snatch it from her!
Those who look down on Junior Sister today will be out of reach of her tomorrow.
After Yang Zhi finished comforting her junior sister, she raised the sign in her hand and said, "1.1 million."
The bid he made right away was 100,000 higher than Xue Ziqi's.
Not only was the host who had just announced the start of bidding stunned, but everyone else in the audience was also very surprised.
Wen Xi was also shocked.
"Senior Sister, you don't have to do this."
I know that my senior sister is afraid of losing to Xue Ziqi, but there is really no need to be like this. She is not a stingy person. She will take as many pictures as she can. Why bother to get angry with others with real money?
The senior sister only has a small salary from the school, but she has to buy delicious food and fun things for the master, and secretly donate money to build a school in the earthquake-stricken area in the senior brother's hometown. Even if the family is well-off, so many expenses will be tight.
