Liao Chengyu looked in Li Yi's direction, so angry he felt like he was about to grind his teeth to powder.
"This guy's insane! He's gone mad! He actually spent a hundred million to buy this piece of blue and white porcelain!"
"He wants to compare himself to that kept man. How can you compare yourself to him? He's not spending his own money, but you're spending your own hard-earned cash."
"You spent a hundred million to bring back a bottle? Now you're dumbfounded, aren't you?"
Everyone looked at Liao Chengyu as if he were an idiot.
Liao Chengyu wanted to just smash his head against a wall and die, but there's no going back in life, so he could only break his teeth and swallow the blood.
Liao Chengyu has lost all interest in continuing the filming!
However, if he leaves now, people will think he lacks ability, having only won one item and then leaving.
Liao Chengyu could only continue sitting at the auction site in a bad mood.
Soon, the third item was presented: a landscape painting by a famous Song Dynasty artist, its brushstrokes revealing an extraordinary artistic conception.
The host introduced the painting: "This is a landscape painting by the famous Song Dynasty painter Li Tang. Its unique style and profound artistic conception make it a rare treasure. The starting price is five million, and each bid must be at least five hundred thousand. Now, the auction begins!"
Liao Chengyu was now completely disheartened. He had no interest in the painting at all and simply sat there mechanically, staring blankly ahead.
Li Yi smiled faintly. He wasn't actually interested in calligraphy and paintings, and he was too lazy to bid on them.
His main goal today is to capture aerial photos of the blue sky.
"Five and a half million!" someone started bidding.
When Li Yi heard this voice, he thought it sounded familiar.
He looked at the person holding the sign and froze.
Holy crap!
It turned out to be an acquaintance!
Zhao Qingya!
Zhao Qingya is the older sister of Zhao Qingchun, and is also the undisputed number one beauty of Shancheng Art University. She is a senior majoring in fine arts and will graduate soon.
Zhao Qingya is a lesbian. Previously, Zhao Qingchun approached Li Yi and asked him to "straighten" her sister, and she was willing to cooperate.
Afterwards, Li Yi also went to Zhao Qingya's solo art exhibition and spent 36 million to buy 100 of her paintings.
Zhao Qingya was robbed at the time, and Li Yi even saved her, but they didn't keep in touch much after that.
Because Li Yi had quite a few girls he was involved with, he had already won over Zhao Qingya's younger sister, Zhao Qingchun, so he didn't bother contacting Zhao Qingya again.
Zhao Qingya is a lesbian, and she usually gets close to the tomboy Xiao Yu.
She did not take the initiative to contact Li Yi.
I never expected to run into him at an auction in Beijing.
Six million!
Another person made a quote.
Zhao Qingya continued, "Six million five hundred thousand!"
......
After multiple rounds of bidding, Li Tang's painting reached a price of ten million.
Zhao Qingya is an art student who especially loves Li Tang's works. The reason she came to this auction was to buy this piece back home.
But now, the price has reached tens of millions.
Zhao Qingya hesitated. She had over 30 million, but this wasn't the way to spend it.
Moreover, she also knew that the 36 million was supported by Li Yi alone, and the value of her paintings was not even in the millions.
Just as Zhao Qingya was hesitating whether to continue bidding, another person made a bid: "Fifteen million!"
Fifteen million?!
Zhao Qingya was stunned.
This price was far beyond what she could afford.
Zhao Qingya bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes revealing reluctance and helplessness.
She knew that with her own financial resources, she was no longer able to compete with this sudden high price.
She will never get her hands on the landscape painting by Li Tang that she has been dreaming of.
"Fifteen million once!"
"Fifteen million twice!"
Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Thirty million."
The person who made the offer was Li Yi.
The auction house erupted in chaos!
"Holy crap, it's him again! He's doubled the price again! That's ruthless!"
"Damn it, that pretty boy is awful. He's a gigolo, and he's made us all afraid to bid!"
"Damn! Who's the girl next to him? She's incredibly rich!"
They all looked at Li Yi with envy and anger.
Those who come here are all successful people, but now they feel insulted.
Because they knew that the person who doubled the bid was a gigolo kept by a rich woman, but now, they were being overshadowed by this gigolo.
Zhao Qingya was also stunned. She hadn't expected the price to have reached 30 million. She looked at Li Yi, who also looked at Zhao Qingya, smiled slightly at her, and nodded.
Zhao Qingya wanted to cry. How could it be him?
So what if you're rich?!
Today, I'm destined to miss out on this piece by Li Tang.
"Thirty million once!"
"Thirty million twice!"
"Thirty million three times!"
"Congratulations to this gentleman on winning Li Tang's landscape painting," the host said.
Li Yi said loudly, "Please help me deliver this painting to bidder number 126."
The host was stunned and asked, "Sir, are you sure you want to give away this 30 million Li Tang landscape painting?"
Li Yi: "Yes! It's clear she really likes this painting. A gentleman should help others achieve their goals, so I'll give it to her!"
Host: "Great, sir, you are truly generous!"
Zhao Qingya was stunned!
Li Yi actually bought it and wanted to give it to me?
Zhao Qingya quickly stepped through the crowd, walked towards Li Yi, stood next to him, and said, "Are you going to give this painting to me?"
Li Yi: "Yes. Qingya, I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence!"
