Chapter 100 Becoming a Pauper



Luo Mianmian was stunned, and under her shocked gaze, Wen Jianshen pushed the tray with the porcelain cups a little closer to Luo Mianmian.

"See if you like it."

When Wen Jianshen said this, there was no fluctuation on his face, as if what he had in front of him was not 50 million, but five dollars.

“It’s too expensive.”

Luo Mianmian pushed the thing back. Although she had a good relationship with Wen Jianshen now, she was not on good terms with him and would not ask for a gift worth 50 million yuan.

"Keep this for Uncle Wen."

Wen Jianshen frowned when he heard this and said nonchalantly, "I don't like antiques. If you don't want them, just throw them away."

"The Wen family is not short of 50 million."

"no!"

Luo Mianmian held the porcelain cup in her arms, staring at Wen Jianshen with her big eyes vigilantly, fearing that Wen Jianshen would throw the cup away when she wasn't paying attention.

"Aunt Wen doesn't like it either, so it's fine to take it back as a decoration."

"Need not."

"Ah, this." Luo Mianmian smiled and carefully picked up the porcelain cup.

"In that case, I'll take it."

Wen Jianshen saw Luo Mianmian touching the porcelain cup lovingly, not daring to use any force, and a smile flashed across the depths of his black eyes.

The little girl might not know that when she was looking at the porcelain cup just now, her eyes were wide open and sparkling.

Even when he said he didn't like the item, his eyes were still glued to it and he refused to move away.

Wen Jianshen suddenly softened his heart. At this time, even if Luo Mianmian wanted the stars in the sky, Wen Jianshen would take pictures of them for her.

Not to mention it’s just 50 million.

Yes, Boss Wen doesn't take the 50 million seriously at all. 50 million can be called money.

Luo Mianmian got her beloved thing and had no time to look at the items being auctioned below.

——She didn’t even dare to look.

What if Wen Jianshen sees that she likes it and buys it for her?

Luo Mianmian has already taken things worth 50 million from others, so she can’t take another 50 million. When the time comes, Luo Mianmian can only repay the favor with herself.

Although Luo Mianmian is also willing to do so.

In the past, I only heard that women would make impulse purchases and buy whatever they like. But today I see that men are no less likely to do so.

Soon it was the second half of the auction. Luo Mianmian put down the things in her hands and began to look at them carefully.

Her gift has not been found yet, so she can only wait for the next auction item.

"This next piece is very special. Ladies here, please keep your eyes open."

The host's excited voice rang out. When the other auctioneers heard his words, their appetites were whetted and they stretched their necks to look at the booth.

Luo Mianmian also looked over. What beautiful thing was it? Could it be jewelry?

The answer was soon revealed as the host lifted the red cloth covering the auction item, revealing the item underneath.

It was a pure pink beauty porcelain with a slender neck and a small body.

Under the strong lights of the auction hall, it showed a bright pink color, as smooth as jade and as dazzling as diamond.

"This is an antique from the Qing Dynasty. It was found among the burial objects of an emperor. Even when the lights are turned off, it still emits a faint glow."

As he spoke, the lights on the stage went out, and the beauty porcelain indeed emitted a faint halo, which was different from its original pink color, but a light blue.

It’s not pink, which is amazing. The wisdom of the ancients could reach this level. Everyone was amazed.

The lights returned to the stage, and the host looked at the people below who were obviously interested, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

“Although this is not the most important lot we have on the lot today, I would say it is definitely the most unique.”

"The starting price for this piece of beauty porcelain is——"

"30 million, each bid must not be less than 1 million!"

Following the host's command, the sound of bidding continued to emanate from the audience. Luo Mianmian looked at the beauty porcelain with a bit of disappointment and then immediately concealed it. She already had something she liked very much today, so these things were just for looking at.

Unexpectedly, Wen Jianshen said, "Take a picture of this."

Luo Mianmian looked at him in surprise, then revealed a look of disappointment: "But I don't have enough money, and will Uncle Wen like this pink color?"

Luo Mianmian was not wrong. Although the starting price was 30 million, Luo Tianfeng had just given Luo Mianmian 20 million. She also had some savings of her own, so she could pool the money together to come up with the starting price.

But many people in the market want it, so the price of this item is bound to be high and may even be driven up to a very high number.

Luo Mianmian went there just to make up the numbers.

"He likes it."

Wen Jianshen said firmly, "Wen Qiang will definitely like it."

Luo Mian looked at Wen Jianshen in amazement: "Such a pink color..."

“Let’s shoot.”

Luo Mianmian gritted her teeth, thinking that at worst she could borrow money from Wen Jianshen, and she pressed the button beside her with a ruthless heart.

"Guest No. 230 bids 40 million!"

"Guest No. 139 bids forty-one million!"

"Guest No. 50 bids forty-two million!"

"Forty-three million!"

The host shouted out the price faster and faster, and finally the price stopped at a very high level.

"Guest No. 50 bids 80 million!"

Luo Mianmian was completely unable to press the button at this time. This price was already unacceptable to her. If the price went up any further, Luo Mianmian was afraid that all her work in the past two years would have been in vain.

She let go of her finger on the button as if giving up and listened to the host shouting out the remaining numbers.

"Eighty million at a time!"

"Eighty million twice!"

Just when everyone thought that this piece of beauty porcelain would be bought by No. 50 at this price, the host's voice suddenly paused.

He was visibly agitated, which made the people below feel strange.

"Guest No. 230 offers 100 million!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, then started to roar.

It's no wonder the host was surprised. Even these regulars at the auction were shocked.

Although this item is good, it is understandable that the price is raised a bit because the pink color is popular among girls.

They were already shocked when they heard the 80 million, but when the 100 million came out, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

After all, except for the color, the value of this beauty porcelain is similar to the first porcelain cup. Both pieces were bought by the same person, the first one was sold for 50 million yuan, and this one was sold for 100 million yuan. This is not the way to spend money even if you have it.

They all looked up to the second floor, wanting to see who this rich and stupid boss was.

It’s a pity that the box on the second floor is equipped with one-way glass. People from inside can see outside, but outsiders cannot see inside. They can only lower their heads and sigh that they can’t see the true face of this big man.
