Mr. Luo smiled mysteriously.
"Hey, why are you so anxious? The time is not right yet. After the auction is over, I will naturally reveal the name of my friend to you all!"
Being called a friend by someone of Mr. Luo's status must be extraordinary. Sun Suyun became more certain of her previous thoughts.
She came to Sun Zheng and said in a low voice, "Dad, I have a plan that will allow us, father and daughter, to steal the show at this auction, and make sure no one dares to look down on us!"
Sun Zheng's eyes lit up immediately: "You always have the most ideas, tell Dad about them!"
Sun Suyun pointed to the calligraphy exhibition area and said, "I'll take a picture of that calligraphy piece in the name of my father and me."
"On the one hand, it can demonstrate our artistic accomplishment, and on the other hand, it can prove our financial strength and prevent others from looking down on us!"
Sun Zheng looked in the direction of Sun Suyun's finger and saw Pei Yaozhou maneuvering a wheelchair, stopping in front of the calligraphy, and talking and laughing with Qiao Ruoxi.
Sun Zheng frowned and expressed his doubts, "Many people have wanted to bid for this calligraphy before. I see that Master Pei San seems to be very interested in it as well. Will we... be able to beat them?"
After buying two dresses, Sun Zheng's bank card was empty and he even owed money on his credit card.
"Dad, this opportunity is rare. We can't miss it even if we have to borrow money. Don't you want to be famous? Do you plan to be trampled under the feet of the Shen family and Mom forever?"
Sun Suyun's last few words finally moved Sun Zheng.
Sun Zheng gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yun'er is right, Dad supports you!"
In front of the calligraphy booth.
Pei Yaozhou lingered in front of the platform with a serious look on his face, as if he wanted to imprint every word on the rice paper in his mind, which made Qiao Ruoxi feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's go look somewhere else?" Qiao Ruoxi suggested with a light cough.
Pei Yaozhou had no intention of leaving. After a while, he took his eyes off the words and looked at Qiao Ruoxi, who was counting on her fingers.
"I know acupuncture, design, performance, guqin, ghost hunting, and calligraphy... I can't count them on one hand. No wonder mom always says I'm not worthy of you." Pei Yaozhou looked at the girl in front of him with burning eyes.
Qiao Ruoxi's cheeks flushed: "It's just some daily living skills."
Pei Yaozhou laughed: "If other people heard what you said, they would probably be pissed to death."
"Ruoxi, how many things about you are there that I don't know?" Pei Yaozhou suddenly became serious.
When she met Pei Yaozhou's eyes, Qiao Ruoxi's heartstrings were deeply touched. There were some things that she had actually kept in her heart for a long time.
Maybe it's time to tell Pei Yaozhou.
"I, I am not actually from this world..."
Qiao Ruoxi suddenly stopped talking halfway through her words. It felt like something was choking her throat and she couldn't make a sound.
"Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?" Pei Yaozhou saw that Qiao Ruoxi looked unhappy and immediately stepped forward to ask.
Qiao Ruoxi waved her hand: "It's okay."
The sound can be made again.
Qiao Ruoxi touched her throat and spoke again: "Actually, I started..."
I'm speechless again.
Pei Yaozhou frowned: "Ruoxi, what do you want to say?"
Qiao Ruoxi understood that for some reason, she couldn't talk about anything related to her past life.
There's no way to be honest about this.
I could only smile helplessly and shook my head: "Nothing, I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say, I'll tell you when I remember."
Pei Yaozhou nodded: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time."
Just then, the staff came to them and took the calligraphy works off the stand, which meant that they were going to be auctioned next.
"I wonder how much these words can be auctioned for." Qiao Ruoxi looked at the platform curiously.
"What price do you hope to get?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Qiao Ruoxi thought about it and smiled: "When it comes to charity, the more the better."
"Well, if it's less than 10 million, we won't sell it."
"What?" Qiao Ruoxi thought she had misheard. "I'm not a calligrapher, and all my calligraphy is copied. How could I possibly get ten million?"
"If it doesn't fetch 10 million, I'll buy it."
Qiao Ruoxi was about to stop him when she heard Pei Yaozhou speak again, "In my opinion, these words are priceless treasures. Ten million is a bargain for them."
Qiao Ruoxi was genuinely amused by Pei Yaozhou: "You talk as if others are willing to pay 10 million to snatch it from you."
Pei Yaozhou held Qiao Ruoxi's hand and pointed at the platform: "Just watch, my vision is not wrong."
Mr. Luo exhibited a total of five pieces of calligraphy by Qiao Ruoxi at this auction.
As soon as the first piece of calligraphy was auctioned, someone directly bid five million.
The bidder's surname is He. Although he is only slightly famous in the upper class circle, he is a master collector in the calligraphy and painting world. He has accumulated a huge fortune by reselling calligraphy, paintings and antiques.
The family wealth can even compete with the Gu family and the Qin family.
As soon as Master He made his move, others smelled the scent and started bidding higher.
It wasn't until the price reached 8.1 million that the trend began to slow down.
"Too slow." Pei Yaozhou seemed very dissatisfied. He frowned and directly raised the sign of 10 million.
The host immediately became excited: "Master Pei San bids 10 million, is there anyone else to bid? 10 million at a time, 10 million taels"
"Twelve million!" It was Master He who raised the price first.
This bid once again shocked the whole audience.
Since the price of five million, the master has not increased the price again, and everyone thought that the calligraphy was estimated to be worth about five million.
But I didn't expect that the master was so determined to win it and was waiting for the final bid.
Pei Yaozhou wanted to raise the price, but Qiao Ruoxi stopped him: "It's already 10 million, it's time to stop!"
Pei Yaozhou then put down the half-held sign with some reluctance.
In the end, the calligraphy was sold for 12 million, the second highest price in the auction.
When the second piece of calligraphy was auctioned, the bidding was obviously much faster than before. It was still Pei Yaozhou who bid 10 million, and the final auction price was 13 million.
The same is true for the third piece of characters.
Sun Suyun saw everything, especially the little movements of Pei Yaozhou and Qiao Ruoxi, and a shrewd smile flashed across her eyes.
"Dad, I finally understand. Master Pei isn't determined to get these calligraphy pieces. Ten million is just his psychological expectation. As long as we have fifteen million, we will definitely be able to get the last painting."
Sun Zheng was skeptical.
After he finished watching the auction of the fourth calligraphy piece, he believed what Sun Suyun said without a doubt, because it was exactly the same as Sun Suyun predicted.
"Okay, you take the photos here, and Dad will go raise the money. This time, we must stand out and show those who look down on us a lot!"
"Don't worry, Dad!" Sun Suyun was full of confidence.
Fifteen minutes after the intermission, the fifth piece of writing was finally pushed to the center of the platform.
