After a while.
The auction has officially begun.
The auctioneer on stage, dressed in a light green cheongsam, elegantly began the auction by bringing out each item for sale.
At first, they were all antiques, rare treasures, and calligraphy and paintings by literati.
Each item was auctioned off for an astronomical price.
Tang Xingmi looked at them; even a small vase was auctioned off for millions!
These things were quite shocking for her, as it was her first time here!
In the world of the wealthy, millions seem to be no different from tens of dollars.
Without even blinking, I bought it.
"Today's seventh item is... an ice flower hibiscus jade bracelet."
As the auctioneer explained.
A beautiful hostess is holding a tray covered with a layer of black velvet in her hands.
On the velvet cloth is today's seventh item, an ice flower hibiscus jade bracelet.
The bracelet has a total of 16 beads, each one crystal clear, moist and delicate, and evenly plump under the light.
It looks delicate and pretty, with a lovely pink hue, and is especially exquisite.
There is also a legend about this bracelet.
Legend has it that rose quartz was a love token given by Emperor Li Longji to Yang Yuhuan.
Because of its texture, which resembles the tearing of ice, it was later named after Yang Yuhuan's nickname, Furong.
Therefore, it is also called "Ice Flower Hibiscus Jade".
It also symbolizes the beauty of love, peace, and good fortune.
The auctioneer on stage announced, "Starting price: two million."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the people in the audience began to raise their paddles to compete.
"Two and a half million!"
Three million!
"Three and a half million!"
"..."
The scene was exceptionally lively.
The bidding from the audience rose and fell, steadily increasing.
Tang Xingmi sat quietly in the private room on the second floor, her two clear, watery eyes staring at the bracelet.
Such a small bracelet costs so much!
That's unbelievable!
Fu Xiaohan noticed that the little guy was staring at the bracelet without blinking.
He gave Song Zhirang a look.
Song Zhirang understood immediately.
At this moment, Xu Yixuan, the young man from the Xu Group sitting in the first row, raised his bidding paddle and boldly shouted, "Eight million!"
Xu Yixuan didn't like the bracelet, but his girlfriend Zhang Yuxin did. He wanted to buy it and give it to her to please her.
No one in the audience continued bidding.
"Eight million times for the first time, eight million times for the second time,..."
Just as the auctioneer was about to deliver the final blow.
A voice suddenly came from a private room on the second floor.
Song Zhirang raised his paddle and shouted, "Twenty million!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned!
They all turned their heads to look at the second floor.
This includes Tang Xingmi, who was sitting on the sofa on the second floor.
He turned to look at Song Zhirang with a shocked expression.
Assistant Song is so rich!
Spend 20 million to buy a bracelet!
That's amazing!
It seems that Assistant Song gave it to his girlfriend.
Are all assistants this rich?
Tang Xingmi was unaware that the bracelet was actually a gift from Fu Xiaohan.
"Who is this big shot? They actually spent 20 million to buy this bracelet, that's incredibly extravagant!"
"This bracelet is not worth that much at all, yet people paid such a high price for it. Isn't that just a huge rip-off?"
"Being able to sit in a private room on the second floor, one must be someone of high status!"
No one else raised the price.
Xu Yixuan, who had been so full of bravado, silently withdrew his bidding paddle.
His girlfriend, Zhang Yuxin, was furious.
"Didn't you say you were going to give me that bracelet? Now it's in someone else's hands!" You're so useless.
“Honey, don’t rush. What’s so great about this bracelet? I’m going to give you the highlight item from today’s auction.”
Xu Yixuan hugged Zhang Yuxin and coaxed her.
Zhang Yuxin looked delighted, "The final item up for auction!"
That's the dream of so many girls.
If she gets it, that would be wonderful!
If he can actually win the bid for this final item, she will definitely marry him.
Zhang Yuxin said, "You said you wouldn't disappoint me again, otherwise I'll break up with you."
This time, Xu Yixuan said confidently, "I don't believe the second-floor bidder can offer such a high price. Don't worry, I'll definitely win it for you this time, and I'll hand it over with both hands."
The auctioneer on stage called out three times in a row, "Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times."
Looking around and seeing that no one else was raising their paddle, the gavel fell, and "Sold!"
Fu Xiaohan won the ice flower hibiscus jade bracelet for 20 million yuan.
The staff delivered the bracelet to a private room on the second floor.
Fu Xiaohan gave it to Tang Xingmi.
Tang Xingmi was stunned for a moment, her expression one of disbelief. "Given to me?!"
Fu Xiaohan looked at her with tenderness in his dark eyes, "Mm."
It's really for me!!!
No, isn't it Assistant Song's?
She thought the bracelet was something Assistant Song had taken a liking to and bought as a gift for his girlfriend!
I never expected it was Xiao Han who gave it to her!
Seeing that the little guy didn't accept it, Fu Xiaohan said, "Doesn't your little darling like it?"
"If you don't like it, just throw it away."
When Tang Xingmi heard that they were going to throw it away, she exclaimed, "My God! That's twenty million!!"
She quickly took it, saying, "No, no, I like it."
How could she not be tempted by something so beautiful and exquisite?
She never expected that Xiao Han would take the picture and give it to her!
Twenty million for a bracelet!!
Even if she worked her whole life, she couldn't earn that much!
When Fu Xiaohan saw the little guy accept it, a beautiful smile appeared on his lips.
No matter the price, as long as it's something your daughter likes, he will buy it for her without hesitation.
You should always express your gratitude when you receive a gift.
Tang Xingmi looked at Fu Xiaohan, her eyes crinkling, and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Xiaohan."
"Just a thank you?"
After hearing this phrase many times, Tang Xingmi immediately realized its deeper meaning.
Assistant Song was still there.
Tang Xingmi gave Xiao Han a shy, reproachful look, a blush spreading across her fair face. She was too embarrassed to look at him and looked away.
Let's go see the lobby on the first floor.
If he's not affectionate now, he'll get his money back from the little guy by tonight, with interest.
"The last item up for auction today is a rough blue diamond."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a transparent glass panel slowly rose up onto the stage.
Inside is a 160-carat cube-shaped blue diamond rough.
It is called "Angel Eye".
The crystals are as clear as water, with a delicate texture. Under the light, they are crystal clear, dazzling, and like the brightest stars in the night sky.
It contains endless mystery and charm.
It's so captivating that you can't look away and remain engrossed for a long time.
I've heard that this blue diamond symbolizes loyalty and fidelity in love.
Auctioneer: "Starting bid, twenty million!"
This item was the most requested and the one that every girl dreamed of.
"Twenty-five million!"
Thirty million!
...
The bidding was fierce among the audience.
Xu Yixuan raised his paddle, going all in, and declared, "Fifty million!"
Zhang Yuxin, who was standing next to her, thought she would finally get the blue diamond she had been longing for.
She excitedly kissed Xu Yixuan on the cheek, "Darling, you're amazing!"
“Baby, tonight we…” Xu Yixuan whispered in Zhang Yuxin’s ear.
Zhang Yuxin punched his chest lightly, her face all charming, "You're so annoying."
Before Xu Yixuan and the other person could even be happy.
A cold, deep voice came from the second floor.
"One hundred million."
