Chapter 177 So That’s What Happened



Jiang Wenzhi spoke first.

"Hello, I guess we will see each other often in the future."

"Yeah, I heard that too."

"You should have heard about your sister's affairs."

Jiang Wenzhi smiled again and looked at Zheng Qiying and Jin Taiji.

"Two children like each other, what can adults do?"

Park Jin Hyuk asked back:

"Mutual affection, huh?"

"Didn't you hear Ryan? They loved it."

"Did your son come today?"

"I came, but I don't know where I went now."

"I think Ryan will introduce it to me later. Welcome to today's auction."

"Don't worry, today's auction is up to me."

Park Jin Hyuk smiled, nodded, then turned and walked away.

He plans to meet Jiang Wenzhi's son.

Park Jin Hyuk walked towards the place where people from the entertainment industry gathered, and as expected, he met Kang Do Hyun there.

He was chatting animatedly with several actresses, and next to him stood his sister Park Ruien.

Park Jin Hyuk looked at his sister with regret, but Park Rui En's expression was full of hostility and disdain.

"Oppa, it seems you like the atmosphere here too."

If it weren't for seeing what kind of person Kang Do Hyun is, Park Jin Hyuk wouldn't have come here.

"I don't want to argue with you today... Is this Jiang Daoxian?"

Park Jin Hyuk extended his hand first.

"I'm Park Jin Hyuk."

"Brother, it's you. Please take care of me in the future."

"I should be the one saying this."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Ryan."

As he said that, he put his hands on Park Seon's waist and pulled her towards him.

Although Park Jin Hyuk felt disgusted by Jiang Daoxian's inappropriate behavior, he still smiled and said:

"Welcome to today's auction."

"Don't worry, big brother. I'll take care of the auction later."

Park Jin Hyuk nodded.

"They really are a perfect match, like fish seeking fish and shrimp seeking shrimp."

Thinking of this, he turned and walked away.

Park Jin Hyuk walked around and took the initiative to greet others.

After all, he is the protagonist of today's auction and is relatively young. In this society that emphasizes hierarchy and seniority, it is more appropriate for him to take the initiative to say hello.

Finally, the auction began.

Park Jin Hyuk walked up to the podium. He first welcomed the guests, then explained the purpose of this auction and hoped that the guests present would actively participate.

Seeing Park Jin Hyuk talking under the spotlight, people in the audience began to whisper, especially some young women and those who have daughters at home.

After Park Jin Hyuk stepped down from the stage, the auction began.

At this time, everyone stood up.

Because there were so many guests present and it was a charity auction, the atmosphere was more relaxed than usual auctions.

"Why don't you come to see me?"

At this time, Han Ji-yeon, wearing a long evening dress, came to Park Jin-hyuk.

"We are very familiar with each other, do we still need to be so polite?"

Just now, Park Jin Hyuk just nodded to her from a distance.

"I've been waiting for you to come."

There was disappointment in Han Ji-yeon's tone.

At this time, the artwork to be auctioned appeared on the auction table.

"The first work is by American female painter Mary Cassatt. As a famous Impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt is well-known for her depiction of the delicate emotions between mother and child. The painting is titled 'Woman Holding a Dog' and was created in 1908."

People stopped talking to each other and began to focus on the paintings.

As a female Impressionist painter, Mary Cassatt has not left many works, which makes them even more precious.

Han Ji-yeon says:

"It looks really good, so... is it really a fake?"

Appraisers also came to the auction table to ensure that the paintings were authentic.

In fact, appraisers also need to use a magnifying glass for detailed identification, and even use carbon dating methods to determine whether a painting is authentic.

Therefore, ordinary people cannot tell whether it is genuine or fake with the naked eye.

But for Park Jin Hyuk, it was not a difficult task.

“It’s indeed a fake.”

"Yeah?"

At this point, the auctioneer finished explaining the painting and the bidding began.

"The starting price is 50 million yuan (approximately 260,000 RMB), and bids will be in increments of one million yuan. Please start bidding!"

"51 million! 52 million, 53 million! ... 60 million, the current offer is 60 million (about 320,000 RMB)!"

People competed to quote prices.

Seeing this scene, Han Ji-yeon whispered to Park Jin-hyuk:

"Sotheby's recently sold one of hers for $2.2 million. It's not as good as that one, but it's still way too cheap."

"yes."

Park Jin Hyuk clearly remembers the purchase price of this painting.

400 million yuan (about 2.12 million RMB).

DS Communications was not purchased through auction, so the price was relatively low, but today's transaction price is much lower than the original purchase price.

"I counted three times! 60 million yuan! 1 time! 2 times! 3 times! Mary Cassatt's 'Woman with a Dog' was bought by guest number 122!"

The guest holding number 122 politely nodded to the people around him.
