Add another one, and I'll break your legs.
Upon seeing the WeChat message, Shen Jinmo smiled, put down his phone, and had no intention of obediently listening to Lu Zhiwei.
He insists on giving away anything he wants to give away.
The price was increased to 250 million.
Everyone looked expectantly at VIP room number eight, wondering if they could add more people to the room.
After the auctioneer called out three times, number eight still did not raise his paddle.
The decision was final.
Congratulations to bidder number three for winning this painting, "Ghost Face".
Shen Shuyuan was happy for Shen Jinmo's successful bid. She came out of her own private room and went to Shen Jinmo's private room to congratulate him: "Congratulations, brother, your wish has come true."
Shen Jinmo got up from the sofa, tugged at the collar of his black shirt, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go get our stuff."
Shen Jinmo, Lin Jing, and Shen Shuyuan went together to the auction item collection area to sign the auction confirmation.
Shen Jiarui knocked on the door of VIP room number eight.
I went inside and took a look.
The private room was empty.
He asked the staff serving the private room, "Where is bidder number eight?"
"He lost the auction and left dejectedly," the staff member said truthfully.
"Could I take a look at their list?" Shen Jiarui asked.
"I'm sorry, our auction rules prohibit the disclosure of any information about bidders in the private rooms."
Shen Jiarui's attempt failed, so he had no choice but to return empty-handed and go find Shen Jinmo and Shen Shuyuan to meet up.
Enter the delivery room.
The person who greeted Shen Jinmo was the person in charge of the auction. "Hello, Ms. Shen."
"Where are the things I photographed?" Shen Jinmo asked impatiently.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Shen, the owner of this Ghost Mask has changed his mind at the last minute and decided not to donate 'Ghost Mask' for auction. Because the other party has reneged on the agreement, he has paid us the deposit and left with the mask."
The person in charge looked troubled.
"I want to see the owner of this mask." Upon hearing this, Shen Jinmo felt like the duck that was about to be eaten had flown away, his face darkened, and his mood was extremely bad.
"The other party requested that the transaction be kept confidential, and we have no right to disclose their information."
"Then help me make the connection; I must meet that person."
Shen Jinmo clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and cursing the owner of the ghost mask as a two-faced bastard!
"I'm really sorry, but we can't help you with that." The person in charge shook his head again.
This was the first time Shen Jinmo had run into a brick wall at an auction.
In Yunzhou, everyone fawned over him because of his status.
What is the owner of this mask so smug about? Does he look down on him?
At this moment.
A phone call came in.
Shen Jinmo glanced at the caller ID, took his phone, and went outside.
Shen Shuyuan stayed inside and continued negotiating with the person in charge, hoping to find some room for maneuver.
At the very least, if they meet the owner of the mask, they will try to persuade him to sell it at the auction price or a price higher than the market price.
“My older brother really likes this mask, and your auction house broke the contract by not honoring the auction item. Offending him means offending the entire Shen family. We might as well not participate in future charity auctions.” Shen Shuyuan tried to get information out of the person in charge by using both soft and hard tactics.
The person in charge looked troubled and sighed, "Actually, it's not difficult to meet the owner of this Ghost Mask. You just need to create a work that is even better than 'Ghost Mask' as a visiting card, and I can introduce you..."
Upon hearing what the person in charge said, Shen Shuyuan lowered her eyes, seemingly hesitant.
However, she still secretly kept the person in charge's contact information.
Shen Jinmo stepped into the elevator before answering the call.
"Shen Jinmo, I heard that the owner of 'Ghost Face' was you who won the bid and took it back?" Lu Zhiwei on the other end of the phone clearly had a questioning tone.
Shen Jinmo's expression was cold and stern. He hummed in agreement, offering no denial.
"Are you just going to go against me? I finally like something, and you insist on taking it from me. Are you satisfied now?" Lu Zhiwei said coldly, her tone full of resentment.
Shen Jinmo didn't have time to explain.
Snap—
Lu Zhiwei hung up the phone.
Sitting in the car on her way home, Lu Zhiwei played with her phone, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
She deliberately made Luo Wuyan withdraw the authority to donate and sell "Ghost Face".
He also bribed the person in charge of the auction to reveal to Shen Shuyuan how to meet the owner of "Ghost Face".
It's a trap, a scheme to lure the prey into a trap and achieve two goals at once.
She wanted to see just how much Shen Jinmo meant to her.
Was it worth it for her to risk her life and expose her makeup skills to outsiders just to fulfill Shen Jinmo's wish?
I waited for a whole week.
Lu Zhiwei never received any news from Shen Shuyuan showing up to contact the owner of the Ghost Mask. The people she sent to keep an eye on Shen Shuyuan also didn't find anything unusual about her. Apart from going to get off work, going home, dating Shen Jiarui, and returning to Cuizhu Garden, her schedule was simple.
That morning.
Luo Wuyan arrived at the Lu Group carrying a box containing the book "Ghost Face".
She placed the box on Lu Zhiwei's desk: "Weiwei, it seems you miscalculated this time. The fish you wanted to catch didn't bite. Shen Jinmo has been sending people everywhere to inquire about the whereabouts of the Ghost Mask, offering a huge sum of money to buy it. The whole industry knows that he really wants this thing. But it seems that Shen Shuyuan hasn't made any moves at all? Have we misunderstood her?"
Lu Zhiwei leaned back in her office chair, resting her chin on her hand, her expression grave.
"There are four possibilities. First, she wasn't wearing half-face makeup. Second, she doesn't love Shen Jinmo. Third, she doesn't love Shen Jinmo enough to give herself away. Fourth, she's thought of another way."
