Chapter 48 Auction
"Who can talk for so long?"
Gu Qing pulled Ana Shen to inquire, looking at the handsome man not far away with a gossipy look on his face.
Ana Shen didn't want to put his personal feelings on the table for others to scrutinize, so he said calmly, "Just a friend."
Gu Qing thought for a moment, "Oh, a friend. What about the other one?"
While trying to wait for the equipment that would be used for work, Ana Shen casually responded, “It’s also a friend.”
"Since we are all friends, which friend is more important to you?" Gu Qing asked, having quietly dialed Huo Yunting's number.
Ana Shen was stunned, and the movement of his hands stopped unconsciously.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It doesn't matter."
"How is that possible? People are made of flesh and blood, and they rate everyone they meet. Just like Sister Nanxing is much more important to me than other ordinary colleagues!"
Ana Shen was stunned.
If one must compare their strengths, she and Pei Fuyan had been together for seven years, yet still hadn't received a legitimate status. Now she no longer complained, and faced him with a lot of calmness.
Huo Yunting and her had lived a dull life for three years, but whenever and wherever she saw him with another woman, her heart would still ache.
"So which one is more important?" Gu Qing insisted, as if he would not give up until he got an answer.
Ana Shen was annoyed by the question, and she and Huo Yunting had not yet completely divorced. If she rashly answered other people, it would probably cause misunderstandings.
"Just think of it as the tall one."
"Sister Nanxing, what if the person who is very important to you hates you?"
Ana Shen’s eyes were filled with work, so he could only perfunctorily answer, “What else can I do? Naturally, I will bring the best to him.”
Hearing this, Huo Yunting raised the corners of his lips.
Compared with Pei Fuyan, he is indeed taller.
However, some unpleasant words reached Huo Yunting's ears.
"Did you see that? The person sitting in the front seems to be Mr. Pei Fuyan."
Another girl said in a lustful tone, "Ahhh, is he looking at me?"
"You wish. They're clearly looking at that."
Huo Yunting followed the direction that person pointed, and only Shen Nanxing fell into his sight.
"So Mr. Pei is looking at an ordinary reporter?"
"You know what? She's not just any reporter. She's Mr. Pei's sweetheart!"
Huo Yunting suddenly squeezed the handle of the chair. Why didn't they mention that she was his wife?!
As the lights dimmed, the auction was about to begin.
Ana Shen and Guang Liangde looked at each other and nodded.
One thought that everything had been explained clearly, so he stopped trying to raise the price.
One thought the other party was asking him to raise the price.
Village chief Liang Ming was sitting next to Guan Liangde. Seeing him and Shen Nanxing flirting with each other, he couldn't help but tease them.
"You really are an old man and young wife."
Guan Liangde was about to explain when he suddenly remembered what Shen Nanxing had told him before: it is better to have less trouble than more.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
Liang Ming showed a flattering smile, "Brother Guan, I'm relying on you tonight."
The host on stage has already started.
"The necklace currently being auctioned is a superb diamond necklace. Each naturally occurring diamond weighs over 10 carats and is hand-set in a platinum setting, creating a dazzling sight. At the very bottom hangs a stunning pink diamond, hence the name 'Pink Love.'"
“What a pity…”
"What a pity?" someone asked.
"Unfortunately, the pink diamond, which is as big as an egg, has a slight scratch. Perhaps the previous collector didn't take good care of it..."
Ana Shen listened quietly, as if she saw the willful little girl in front of her grandfather again.
Something worth tens of millions was damaged by the fall, but grandpa would only praise her for her great strength and said she was worthy of being the little princess of the Shen family.
Dust-covered memories emerged like mushrooms after rain, and Ana Shen’s eyes couldn’t help but redden.
The value of a treasure will be greatly reduced if it has flaws, but since the pink diamonds set on it are rare, people can ignore it.
Liang Ming scratched his head. Does this necklace really have such a nice name?
As expected, professional matters should be left to professionals. With a nice name, the price can be much higher.
He gave Guan Liangde a thumbs-up, his eyes full of affirmation of his ability, "Brother, awesome!"
Guan Liangde looked at him like an idiot. If it wasn't for helping the young lady find out who was behind him, he wouldn't want to sit with such an idiot.
The host's voice continues.
"The starting price is 8 million, and the bid is 500,000."
That is to say, every time someone raises their hand, the price increases by at least 500,000.
Guan Liangde was the first to raise the sign.
“8.5 million!”
Others also started bidding, and within a few breaths, the price had been raised to 10 million.
The sweat from Ana Shen’s palm wet the number plate.
Why is the price getting higher and higher?
This time we are really going to be even poorer.
She raised her sign painfully, "10.5 million."
All this happened so quickly that Guan Liangde almost subconsciously called out, "Eleven million."
Uncle Guan, don’t shout so loudly!
Ana Shen’s heart was spinning in anxiety, “Eleven million and a half million.”
Which rich person can shout out numbers in both decimal and integer form?
Following the sound, I saw someone holding a sign high among the group of reporters.
Even Guan Liangde was stunned. Could it be that the young lady came here to play a double act with him so as to get other rich people to bid higher?
What a good plan!
"one thousand……"
Another loud voice rang out almost at the same time.
"Fifteen million!" It was Pei Fuyan's voice.
Ana Shen beat her chest and stamped her feet. This was completely beyond her budget.
“One thousand five hundred…” Ana Shen stammered, his hands shaking.
Liang Ming saw Shen Nanxing jump out presumptuously. He thought he was here to disrupt the situation, but he didn't expect that he would actually help so much. He immediately looked at Guan Liangde with admiration, "Brother, you guys are too shady..."
Guan Liangde glanced at him, and Liang Ming felt a chill on his back and immediately changed his words, "No, no, no, it must be too high!"
Seeing that Shen Nanxing couldn't call out a number for a long time, Huo Yunting couldn't help but curled his lips.
Others couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Hey, as a reporter, why are you causing trouble? Can't you just write your articles honestly?"
"That's right! Can you afford such a high price?"
For a time, all kinds of condemnations came flooding in.
Even Gu Qing wanted to snatch the sign from Ana Shen’s hand, “Nanxing, we are here to work, not to make trouble!”
She never expected that Ana Shen would be involved.
"Twenty million!"
Suddenly, a deep and magnetic male voice sounded, and then Ana Shen felt her shoulder being pulled, and someone was standing behind her.
At that moment, Ana Shen’s heart was about to jump out.
Huo Yunting stood behind her, his hand naturally resting on her shoulder. He was almost a head taller than her. His powerful aura plunged the entire venue into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared with eyes wide in disbelief.
That’s Huo Yunting, the richest man in Jiangcheng!
He was actually standing up for a woman!
In an instant, all the reporters turned their flashlights and lenses to point at the two of them and took a lot of pictures.
