Chapter 81 Deliberate
Nie Yao glanced at the other person coldly, then raised the number plate in her hand and said indifferently, "Three million!"
Assistant Mei beside him was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Ms. Nie, are you taking pictures of your own collection?"
After Nie Yao made her bid, others also began to bid, and the price gradually increased to five million.
But Nie Yao knew that this collection was already worth at least 10 million. If it could only be auctioned for 5 million, it would not only devalue the collection, but also reduce the amount of charity donations by half!
Nie Yao was about to raise her hand again when she heard a male voice say, "Five and a half million!"
Nie Yao looked up and saw that the person who raised the sign to bid was Ji Minghuan!
Ji Minghuan had made a bid just now, right after hers, and offered 500,000 more than hers... Now he did it again, and she began to doubt whether Ji Minghuan did it on purpose!
And this time, after Ji Minghuan raised his hand, no one else dared to raise a hand to surpass him, as if the price was going to be fixed there!
Nie Yao didn't want her family's collection to be sold to Ji Minghuan at a low price, so she simply raised her bid again: "Six million!"
Ji Minghuan seemed to be arguing with her and raised his sign again: "Six and a half million!"
Still no one else raised a sign.
"Seven million!" Nie Yao raised the sign again.
"Seven and a half million!" Ji Minghuan kept insisting on her price.
The entire auction venue seemed to have become a place where two people were competing with each other. Even Assistant Mei beside them whispered, "Ms. Nie, please stop bidding. Selling this item to Young Master Ji is also a good choice. It will enhance the good reputation of both families..."
"He did it on purpose!" Nie Yao frowned, knowing that Ji Minghuan was trying to suppress her, so she simply raised the number "10 million!"
Ji Minghuan didn't follow suit and raised his sign. Assistant Mei's eyes widened as she asked, "Ms. Nie, are you crazy? This thing was originally donated by our Nie family. Are you willing to spend another 10 million to buy it?"
Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had been a little impulsive and had forgotten her father's previous instructions. She felt a little annoyed for a moment.
Ji Minghuan, who was not far away, looked at Nie Yao coldly. Seeing her annoyed expression, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
The host on the stage was about to make a final payment for the 10 million yuan price, when a voice rang out in the venue: "20 million yuan!"
Everyone was shocked and looked up, only to see that the person holding the sign was not a famous investor or celebrity, but an ordinary-looking man.
"Who is this person? He's so exaggerated that he even doubled the bid..."
"I don't know. I don't think I've seen him hold up the sign before. It's really strange..."
Nie Yao couldn't help but glance at the man, feeling that he looked familiar. Assistant Mei, standing beside her, breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "He's truly kind-hearted and helped our Nie family out of this predicament. I must thank him later..."
"Assistant Mei, does he have any dealings with our Nie family?" Nie Yao asked doubtfully.
"I don't think so. I don't remember ever seeing him..." Assistant Mei said this and then quickly asked, "Ms. Nie, do you know him?"
"I always feel that it looks familiar, but I don't know if I'm seeing things..." Nie Yao shrugged.
In the end, the collection donated by the Nie family was sold for 20 million yuan.
When this round of auction was over, everyone raised their champagne to celebrate with each other again. Assistant Mei also encouraged Nie Yao to thank the person who raised the bid of 20 million.
"You're welcome. This is what our Ninth Master wanted!" the man said with a faint smile.
