Chapter 217 It was Lu Junyan who didn't want A Chu
"This piece of jewelry is a gold phoenix tail hair comb donated to this charity auction by the renowned fashion master BYC, also known as Ms. Jiang Ning."
As the host introduced Jiang Ning, many guests turned their admiring gazes toward him.
Now, almost everyone present knows that Jiang Ning is the BYC master who designed the piano series, so they are all eagerly anticipating what kind of unique jewelry Jiang Ning will design this time.
"What? A comb can be considered jewelry?" Yang Liyun crossed her arms and muttered, "A gold phoenix tail... that sounds so tacky. Who in high society wears gold these days!"
Regardless of whether Jiang Ning was the legendary BYC master, Yang Liyun only knew that the auction items designed by Jiang Ning sounded like no one would want them.
"No one will bid, so let's just wait for it to go unsold!"
While Yang Liyun looked on with amusement at Jiang Ning, staff members were already bringing up the auction items donated by Jiang Ning on the stage.
Yang Liyun's eyes widened the moment she saw the item being auctioned.
Tonight's charity auction features a number of jewelry items.
For example, there's the heart-shaped tanzanite necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean from the movie "Titanic," the waterfall-style diamond anklet designed and donated by Brad Pitt, and the antique watches donated by the three giants of top watchmaking.
However, while those jewels were beautiful and truly luxurious, they didn't have the same eye-catching effect on the dignitaries present as Jiang Ning's designs.
Jiang Ning, also known as BYC, has become a new darling of the jewelry fashion world because she not only has superb craftsmanship, but also has a unique and ingenious design style that always brings surprises to the wealthy who are used to jewelry.
For example, the comb displayed on stage.
"This hairbrush is made of the latest 5G gold, with a hardness comparable to karat gold. Its teeth are dense and fine, so it can not only be used as a comb, but also inserted into an updo as a hair accessory..."
As the host introduced the program, many of the guests showed great interest.
"This hair comb adopts a Chinese design concept, with the comb resembling a phoenix tail, lifelike. Each feather is inlaid with hundreds of icy jadeite and mutton fat jade using BYC's patented curved seamless fully hidden inlay technology..."
Yang Liyun's eyes were fixed on the golden phoenix tail comb.
She had never seen such a high-end jewelry comb.
She had originally imagined that a comb made of gold would be tacky, especially one inlaid with jade, which was only suitable for older people.
However, Jiang Ning's comb is incredibly a blend of classical beauty and modern style.
The icy jadeite with floating flowers is as clear as ice, moist and crystal clear, and when paired with the creamy white jade, it perfectly combines clarity and oiliness.
The 5G gold is dazzling enough, while the icy jadeite with floating flowers and mutton fat white jade add a touch of warmth and elegance to this golden comb.
Whether from a functional, aesthetic, or even collectible perspective, it is impeccable.
Yang Liyun repeatedly tried to wink at Lu Yexiong beside her, but Lu Yexiong didn't see it.
However, since the comb was an item designed by Jiang Ning, she couldn't openly say that she wanted it.
After the host introduced the comb, the auction began.
"Starting bid: one million US dollars."
Two million.
People immediately started bidding.
"Two million one hundred thousand."
"Two million three hundred thousand."
Three million.
Jiang Ning listened to the continuous bidding and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
It seems that her designs extend beyond the piano series; her other styles are also very popular.
Five million.
Suddenly, the price jumped up a lot.
Jiang Ning looked at Pete in surprise.
"Mr. Number 49 has asked for five million US dollars, five million US dollars for the first time..."
Pete gave Jiang Ning a big smile, holding up the number 49 sign.
Jiang Ning never expected that Pete would also participate in the bidding, and even bid a high price of five million US dollars.
However, right after the first bid, Prince William, who was sitting at the same table as Pitt, called for an even higher price.
"Six million."
Pete frowned.
"Six million one hundred thousand."
Seeing that Pete was not going to back down, Prince William continued to raise the price.
"Six million two hundred thousand."
"Six million three hundred thousand."
Neither of them was willing to give up, and they competed for several rounds.
At the next table, Chu Yao watched as Pete and Prince William were locked in a fierce battle of wills, and whispered something in Lin Yueheng's ear:
"I wonder if those two are both trying to pursue A-Chu?"
Lin Yueheng remained silent.
Prince William is younger than Jiang Ning and seems quite immature.
He knew that Pete, who was standing next to him, was the executive director of FY and was a very talented person in every way.
However, judging from Jiang Ning's reaction, he didn't seem to be interested in Pete.
Lin Yueheng's gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan is considered outstanding among young men in both the political and business circles.
The Lin family originally valued the Lu family highly and intended to form a marriage alliance with them.
However, Lin Yueheng never imagined that the person he had carefully chosen for his adopted daughter would be his biological daughter's ex-husband.
Logically speaking, Lu Junyan is already excellent enough.
So why did A Chu divorce Lu Junyan?
Was it Lu Junyan who didn't want A Chu?
still……
Lin Yueheng's brows furrowed more and more deeply.
He couldn't possibly guess what had happened between Jiang Ning and Lu Junyan just by guessing.
Given his position, he had no way to ask Lu Junyan or Jiang Ning.
Meanwhile, Pitt and Prince William have already bid up to ten million US dollars.
This price has now exceeded the price of all the jewelry previously auctioned.
"Ten million US dollars per time..."
Prince William grinned at Pete, a grin that was incredibly irritating.
The price of ten million US dollars far exceeded Jiang Ning's expectations.
She also felt that Pitt should probably give up.
In terms of financial resources, Pete is certainly no match for Prince William.
However, just as Prince William was smugly waiting for the host to make the decision, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the First Banquet Hall:
"Fifty million."
A moment of silence fell over the room, followed by Prince William uttering a curse word in his native tongue.
The host paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Number 25 bid fifty million, fifty million US dollars for the first time..."
Because he never expected that the items in Jiangning could fetch such a high price.
Jiang Ning himself hadn't expected this.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look to the side.
The others had the same reaction as her.
Lu Yexiong, Yang Liyun, Lin Yueheng, Chu Yao, Lin Wanrong, and Zhong Cheng all stared at Lu Junyan, who was sitting at the same table with them.
Just now, Lu Junyan raised his paddle number 25 and bid a high price of fifty million.
"Junyan, are you crazy?"
Yang Liyun couldn't help but mutter softly.
If Lu Junyan quoted this price for her, then she would be overjoyed.
But she knew very well that Lu Junyan would never buy the comb and give it to her.
"Oh, I see... Junyan, that kid is really something..."
Yang Liyun deliberately feigned an expression of sudden realization.
"He wanted to bid on this comb and give it to Miss Wanrong!"
