Chapter 464 Deliberately Making Things Difficult
She said these four words lightly, but when others heard them, they had to give her face. Since she wanted to ask for this auspicious number, no one would fight with her for the two bracelets.
Moreover, the price of "880" is not low. Although the two bracelets are of good quality, they are not large in size and are only suitable for women with slender wrists.
If you want to collect it, the "jade pendant" is more valuable.
However, not everyone is willing to give this face, and Mrs. Li just doesn't want Shen Ci to get what she wants.
"Nine hundred!"
Mrs. Li slowly raised the sign and added another twenty to Shen Ci's bid.
Li Wanchang didn't react at all. He looked over in surprise when he heard his wife speak. Mrs. Li seemed to be unaware of the look she was giving him and continued to herself, "I accidentally knocked my two jade bracelets against each other, and now I'm missing a pair."
Many people's eyes focused on him, making Li Wanchang feel like a thorn in his back. He gently patted his wife's leg under the table, but she only tilted her head and said, "Honey, I really like it."
Due to the occasion, Li Wanchang couldn't get angry. He could only put on a false smile and hint to his wife with his eyes, telling her not to deliberately embarrass Shen Ci.
"one thousand."
Shen Ci glanced in the direction of Mrs. Li, and once again raised the sign in her hand, and it was one hundred yuan.
Su Zheyuan, who was standing aside, saw Chen Ci's generous move and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows subconsciously, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Li paid no attention to Li Wanchang's hints and reminders. Seeing Shen Ci raise the price, she raised the sign again without hesitation: "One thousand and twenty."
Shen Ci: “One thousand and one!”
Mrs. Li only raised the price by twenty, obviously wanting to annoy Chen Ci but not wanting to waste any more money.
However, Chen Ci always just rounded up the points, which clearly gave him an upper hand in terms of momentum.
Mrs. Li added another twenty yuan.
Shen Jingjing quickly held her daughter's hand and shook her head at her: "Forget it, Ah Ci, it's too expensive!"
Although the item is good, there is no need to act on impulse. Moreover, if the other party is determined to get it, there is no need for them to keep raising the price, which will only lead to misunderstandings.
She didn't know about the entanglement between her daughter and Mrs. Li. This was just her instinctive thought at the moment.
Su Zheyuan, who was standing by, also turned slightly and whispered, "Ms. Shen, the price quoted is far higher than the actual price of this bracelet. Although it will be donated to charity in the end, don't be taken advantage of."
Secretary Xiao Gao also reminded: "Miss Shen, our boss is very knowledgeable about jade, you can't go wrong by listening to him."
Su Zheyuan showed a hint of pride on his face when he heard this. This man just couldn't stand being praised, and his reaction was written all over his face.
Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly.
Since Boss Su is an expert, if she wants to buy some jade jewelry for her mother, she can just ask him for advice. There is really no need to waste money here.
Besides, she had no intention of arguing with Mrs. Li. It was just two bracelets. What difference would it make if she got them?
So she slowly put down the number plate in her hand, which meant she withdrew from the competition.
The host on the stage has already started counting down: "One thousand one hundred and twenty yuan per time!"
"One thousand one hundred and twenty dollars for two times!"
"One thousand one hundred and twenty yuan..."
"One thousand one hundred and five!"
Unexpectedly, just when everyone thought that the two bracelets would be sold smoothly and bought by Mrs. Li, a calm and powerful male voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
Everyone was stunned and stretched their necks to look. The price of this bracelet had already reached the top, and no one expected that someone would raise the price.
Card number 5 was slowly raised, it was Mr. Fei!
The host excitedly said, "Number five, Mr. Fei from the Rui'an Group is bidding 1,150 yuan. Are there any other VIPs who would like to raise the price further?"
Most people were confused by Mr. Fei's action. He doesn't have a wife, so why did he buy these two jade bracelets?
But someone noticed something unusual.
Boss Yang glanced sideways, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
Li Wanchang frowned. It was hard not to connect Mr. Fei with Shen Ci's mother. He hadn't spoken a word just now. Was he bidding at this time just to vent Shen Ci's anger?
Jiang Yuanliang also looked at Director Fei. Based on his understanding of him, Director Fei has always been a very restrained person, and this move was obviously unusual.
Chen Ci smiled knowingly. Uncle Fei's holding up of the sign at this time seemed to have some hidden meaning. It was not that she was being sentimental on behalf of her mother, but the other party's approach was too straightforward and direct, without any twists and turns.
This kind of vigorous and decisive approach really suits her. When it comes to relationships, one should be decisive and decisive, especially when it comes to the relationships of middle-aged people. Who has the extra time to drag things out and test things?
As soon as Mr. Fei made a move, Mrs. Li was instantly defeated.
Anyway, her purpose was not to get the bracelet, she just wanted to make things difficult for Shen Ci.
In the end, the bracelet was bought by Mr. Fei at a high price.
"Stop messing around." Li Wanchang warned his wife in a low voice while everyone was applauding.
Mrs. Li glared at him but said nothing. She just looked through the gap in the crowd at Chen Ci behind her, but Chen Ci didn't even look at her.
The pair of bracelets were handed to Mr. Fei, feeling heavy.
Boss Yang jokingly said, "Mr. Fei, I'm afraid this bracelet won't fit on your thick wrist!"
The people around laughed when they heard this, but Director Fei carefully put it away and said to everyone, "It's definitely not for me to wear. I'll wear it when I get a wife."
"Hey, judging from Mr. Fei's tone, is he going to make the iron tree bloom?"
"In my opinion, it should have been opened long ago. Everyone can see that Director Fei values friendship, but there's still a long way to go, right?"
The old people are gone, but people cannot live in the past forever.
Friends around him all support Fei Dong to get married again and find a second spring.
The third lot is a set of out-of-print vinyl records from the last century that are well-preserved.
This auction does have something interesting. Although the items brought up are not valuable antiques, they are all objects that are in line with the hobbies of today's people.
Listening to vinyl records is a hobby of many upper-class and elegant people, so the competition for this item was particularly fierce.
Shen Ci was not very interested in this thing and originally just wanted to watch the fun.
When the bid reached one hundred and fifty yuan and stopped, Shen Ci accidentally caught a glimpse of Mrs. Li sitting at the front table, and an idea flashed through his mind.
She raised the corners of her lips and held up the sign: "One hundred and sixty yuan!"
As expected, just as she expected, when her voice rang out, Mrs. Li straightened her body as if in a state of stress, and then raised her sign: "One hundred and seventy yuan!"
Shen Ci: “One hundred and eighty yuan!”
Mrs. Li: "One hundred and ninety yuan!"
Shen Ci: “Two hundred yuan!”
Mrs. Li still refused to give in: "Two hundred and one!"
