Gao Xinchen's appearance stunned both Tao Lao and Tao Qian. They then looked at him closely. The people around them also looked over curiously, wondering about their relationship.
Gao Xinchen just spent a fortune to win the beauty's smile, and I'm afraid everyone present was impressed.
Li Yang endured the scrutiny from everyone and nodded to Gao Xinchen, "Yeah."
She immediately introduced Gao Xinchen to Mr. Tao and Tao Qian: "This is a friend I met in Shenzhen...his surname is Gao." Turning to Gao Xinchen, she said: "This is Mr. Tao, and this is Mr. Tao's son, Mr. Tao Qian. We came here together."
Gao Xinchen looked at Mr. Tao and Tao Qian, then nodded slightly and extended his hand: "So it's Mr. Tao, I've heard of your great name for a long time."
"I don't deserve it." Tao Lao shook hands with Gao Xinchenxu, looked at him, and said thoughtfully: "Are you from the Gao family in Hong Kong?"
Gao Xinchen smiled and said, "Exactly. Mr. Tao, do you know my grandfather or father?"
Mr. Tao seemed to be recalling something from the past, shook his head, and did not answer.
Li Yang knew that Mr. Tao knew a lot of people in the jade industry, but she never thought that he was an old acquaintance of the elders of Gao Xinchen's family. She blamed herself for not inquiring in advance and did not know the origin of the Gao family.
At this time, the auctioneer had already started auctioning the violet. Fortunately, considering that there was no window, the starting price was not expensive, 40,000.
Gao Xinchen noticed that Li Yang's attention was focused on the auction, and whispered, "Didn't you bring enough money?"
Li Yang: “…”
Li Yang's face was embarrassed, and he nodded honestly: "Yeah."
Gao Xinchen asked: "How much difference?"
Li Yang's voice gradually became quieter: "Very different."
Gao Xinchen: "How much is a lot?"
Li Yang: "I only brought two thousand."
Gao Xinchen: “…”
There is indeed a big difference.
Mr. Tao coughed lightly at this time: "She has fifty-two thousand."
Li Yang was so moved that she almost cried: "Mr. Tao..."
Gao Xinchen understood and nodded, "Is that so?" He touched his chin, bent down and said to Li Yang, "I'll lend you money, if you agree to one condition, how about that?"
Li Yang looked at him warily: "What conditions?"
She had only met Gao Xinchen twice, but he was willing to lend her money. Apart from the fact that he might really be a living Lei Feng, he must have other motives.
Gao Xinchen saw through Li Yang's thoughts and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother really liked the jade you helped me choose last time. I'll help you this time as a way to repay you a favor. How about that?"
"What about the condition you agreed to?" Li Yang hadn't forgotten this. "I won't sell myself."
Gao Xinchen chuckled: "There is an exhibition next month, you go with me."
Li Yang looked at Mr. Tao and questioned him with his eyes.
Tao Lao caught Li Yang's gaze and asked Gao Xinchen, "But what about the exhibition in the middle of next month?"
Gao Xinchen nodded: "Exactly."
Hearing this, Tao Lao nodded to Li Yang: "If you think this material is affordable, then agree. The Gao family is rich anyway."
"Old man..." Tao Qian was watching anxiously from the side. He whispered to Gao Xinchen, "Can this man really be trusted?"
Tao Lao glanced at Gao Xinchen calmly and said, "It's okay. The descendants of the Gao family would never do this."
Mr. Tao said this not only to Li Yang and Tao Qian, but also to Gao Xinchen. Li Yang was extremely grateful to Mr. Tao for doing this for him.
Li Yang naturally wondered if she really wanted to take a picture of the violet before her. She had a hunch that if she could capture a piece of violet, even rarer than Imperial Green, it would truly open the door to the jade world for her.
But before that, she had to consider carefully whether she could repay the money that Mr. Tao and Gao Xinchen lent her if things did not develop as she expected.
Li Yang thought about the Yang Green Jade piece she brought this time. If she could sell it for a good price, she should be able to earn at least 100,000. As for the rest, she was confident that she could repay it.
As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger, so Li Yang decided to take this gamble.
So, Li Yang said to Gao Xinchen, "Please lend me 100,000, Mr. Gao."
The minimum guarantee is 150,000, and the maximum risk she can currently bear is only 150,000.
Gao Xinchen said without hesitation, "Okay, it's a deal."
After agreeing to lend the money to Li Yang, Gao Xinchen did not linger for long. He turned back to his seat and whispered a few words to Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai showed a look of surprise on his face. He glanced at Li Yang, Tao Lao and others, and then shifted his attention to the stage again.
At this time, the bidding price had risen to 98,000.
Considering that Gao Xinchen had just been there, Li Yang didn't dare to bid immediately. She was afraid that if she did, others would think that it was something Gao Xinchen liked, and it would be bad to compete with her.
She held the number plate in her hand and stared nervously at the movements on the stage.
The bid price was stuck at 110,000. The auctioneer made a final confirmation, and then someone raised a sign: "150,000."
It was the middle-aged man who had just competed with Gao Xinchen.
After he raised the card, he looked at Gao Xinchen as if to show off.
Li Yang knew it was bad as soon as he saw it.
Just when she was feeling depressed, she heard Mr. Tao say to her: "If no one bids higher, just raise your hand."
Li Yang naturally knew that if she didn't take action, the violet would be taken away by the middle-aged man. However, everyone present saw what Gao Xinchen had just said to her. If she took action, it would inevitably provoke the middle-aged man's rebellious psychology.
Maybe the middle-aged man didn't like the jade, and he raised the sign just to avenge himself.
Just as Li Yang was hesitating, the auctioneer asked, "Is there anyone who can offer a higher price than 150,000?"
