Before entering the auction venue, each guest received a beautiful brochure introducing the collectibles to be auctioned tonight.
The seats in the venue are all random.
Li Wan and Yuan Yang sat down on the right side of the auction table, while Li Zelin and Secretary Wu sat down in the same row on the left side.
"Uncle Yang." Li Wan recognized Yang Guofeng and greeted him politely.
"Hey, Wanwan, long time no see." Yang Guofeng was surprised by Li Wan's change, but he just responded vaguely and chose a seat in the back row to sit down.
Li Wan glanced at Li Zelin. He was talking to Secretary Wu beside him with his head tilted. From Li Wan's perspective, the distance between the two seemed quite close.
In such private occasions, Li Zelin would always bring Secretary Wu with him...
Li Wan frowned, retracted his gaze, and lowered his head to look through the thick introduction manual in his hand.
Secretary Wu stood up and left. Li Zelin glanced over here indifferently and saw Li Wanzheng and Yuan Yang huddled together looking through the same manual, like a pair of close lovers.
She was still wearing the dress he had bought her.
An unknown feeling of boredom swept through his heart, and Li Zelin frowned and turned away.
The large LCD screens on both sides of the auction table began playing VCRs to introduce tonight's collections.
People in the auction hall were whispering and discussing in low voices.
"Which one do you want to take a picture of?" Li Wan asked curiously.
"Don't worry, you will know soon." Yuan Yang said.
Li Wan did not ask any further questions and focused on watching the VCR, occasionally chatting with Yuan Yang.
There are a total of 13 collectibles tonight. From the introduction in the VCR, each one is of great significance.
After the ten-minute VCR was over, the auction officially began.
The LCD screens on the left and right sides display the information picture of the first collection.
"'Little Divine Beast', starting price 7 million, bidding begins, please raise your hands."
The auctioneer picked up a small hammer and hammered it on the table, marking the start of the auction.
People kept raising their hands at the scene, and soon the price soared to 11 million.
Li Wan kept an eye on Li Zelin. He seemed to have no interest in this collection and never raised his hand.
This statue, called "Little Divine Beast" and less than a palm's height, was bought by Yang Guofeng in the back row for 13.5 million yuan. He smiled proudly at the man who had just bid with him.
For the next few collectibles, Li Zelin only raised his hand twice and didn't seem very interested.
When it came to the eighth piece, Li Wan noticed that Yuan Yang beside him sat up a little straighter.
"Is it this one?" Li Wan asked.
Yuan Yang nodded slightly.
Li Wan opened the manual in his hand.
The eighth lot for auction is an oil painting by a great foreign painter. It is a very famous work that shows a European girl holding a pottery.
The starting price is 10 million.
Yuan Yang raised his hand for the first time.
"10.5 million."
Li Zelin glanced over here indifferently.
More and more people raised their hands to participate in the auction, and the price suddenly reached 15 million.
Yuan Yang raised his hand again.
Li Wan looked around and saw that half of the people had given up bidding.
Others are continuing to follow up.
After several rounds, the price reached 20 million.
Yuan Yang raised his hand again.
"20.5 million."
"20.5 million." The auctioneer repeated the price and scanned the audience.
Li Wan also looked around.
No one raised their hand.
She turned her head and said to Yuan Yang, "It should be yours."
Yuan Yang smiled slightly.
Li Zelin glanced over here indifferently, and when he saw Li Wan sitting next to Yuan Yang wearing the skirt that he bought with his money, he suddenly felt it was a bit annoying.
"20.5 million." The auctioneer repeated.
At this moment, a slender finger was lifted casually.
The auctioneer smiled and announced a new price: "21 million."
Everyone's eyes turned to the owner of that hand - Li Zelin.
"Mr. Li?" Secretary Wu was obviously surprised that Li Zelin was interested in this painting. As far as she knew, Li Zelin never liked figure paintings, and their target today was another collection...
Li Wan also looked at Li Zelin. He had not participated in the bidding before, but he didn't expect him to suddenly intervene.
Li Zelin didn't look at her, his expression was cold.
"21 million." The auctioneer quoted the price again.
Yuan Yang withdrew his gaze and raised his hand.
"21.5 million."
Before the voice fell, Li Zelin raised his hand again.
"22 million."
Yuan Yang raised his hand again.
"22.5 million."
Li Zelin raised his hand again.
"23 million."
Yuan Yang glanced at Li Zelin and raised his hand.
"23.5 million."
Li Zelin raised his hand casually as always, and his relaxed and casual posture made it seem like he was determined to get the painting.
At this time, everyone else had given up bidding.
There were only two of them in the auction room, bidding back and forth.
The auctioneer's voice of bidding came one after another, and the price quickly climbed to 26 million.
Everyone else in the auction hall started talking in low voices, their eyes shifting back and forth between Li Zelin and Yuan Yang.
The current price obviously exceeds the market valuation of this painting by a lot.
But Li Zelin and Yuan Yang didn't look like they were going to give up.
When the price climbed to 30 million, Yuan Yang's expression finally changed and his brows frowned.
"30 million."
The auctioneer repeats the price.
"Are you going to continue filming?" Li Wan asked Yuan Yang.
Yuan Yang did not answer, but looked towards Li Zelin.
Li Zelin also tilted his head to look at him. His eyes were cold and contained no emotion or feeling, but Yuan Yang could feel the coldness and targeting in them.
Is it because of Li Wan?
"30 million."
The auctioneer made another offer.
Yuan Yang shook his head slightly and replied to Li Wan: "30 million is my bottom price."
"30 million."
The auctioneer repeated the price for the last time, paused for five seconds, scanned the room, and found that no one was interested in bidding. Then he dropped the hammer in his hand, "30 million sold."
Li Zelin, who successfully took the picture, did not feel happy, and his expression remained indifferent.
The only collection that Yuan Yang wanted to bid for was bought by Li Zelin, and he did not participate in the bidding for any other collections afterwards.
Li Zelin bought three collections in succession.
"Do you want to attend the dinner later?" Yuan Yang asked Li Wan.
Li Wan noticed that he was in a bad mood because he failed to take the picture, and he obviously didn't want to attend the dinner. She glanced at Li Zelin and Secretary Wu who were talking over there, and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go out for dinner." She smiled and added, "But I don't have money, you have to treat me first."
Yuan Yang smiled slightly: "Okay."
As soon as the auction ended, Li Wan and Yuan Yang stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Wan did not forget to greet Li Zelin: "Brother, Secretary Wu, we are leaving first."
Secretary Wu looked at them in surprise and asked, "There's a dinner party later, aren't you going to attend it?"
Li Zelin looked at Li Wan with serious eyes.
Li Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "We won't join in. We're going to go out and have something to eat." She paused for a moment and finally glanced at Li Zelin, "I won't disturb you and Big Brother."
Secretary Wu was stunned, then his face felt slightly hot, and he felt even closer to Li Wan.
Li Zelin's eyes became more and more gloomy.
"Then we'll leave first." Li Wan said.
Yuan Yang nodded slightly and walked out with Li Wan.
Secretary Wu watched the two leave and said with a smile: "I heard other people in the company talking about them before, and I was skeptical. I didn't expect it to be true."
Secretary Wu turned his head to look at Li Zelin while chatting and laughing, then was slightly startled. Li Zelin's face looked very ugly.
…
"What do you want to eat?" Yuan Yang asked Li Wan as he walked towards the car.
"It's all right. You're treating, and I'm not picky about food." Li Wan said with a smile. However, she was not in a good mood as she thought about Li Zelin and Secretary Wu.
Yuan Yang was in a good mood, curled his lips and said, "Okay."
He opened the passenger door.
Li Wan was just about to get in the car when Li Zelin's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Li Wan."
She stopped and turned to look in surprise.
Li Zelin walked over here, and finally stopped two meters away and called her: "Come here."
Secretary Wu was not with him.
Li Wan apologized to Yuan Yang, then walked towards Li Zelin: "Brother, is there anything wrong?"
Li Zelin looked at her and uttered four words from his thin lips: "Dinner with me."
An attitude that takes it for granted.
Li Wan asked: "Brother, are you not attending the dinner?"
Li Zelin said: "I don't want to participate."
Li Wan looked back at Yuan Yang hesitantly: "But I have already made an agreement with Yuan Yang..."
"Then you don't have to eat with me anymore." Li Zelin interrupted her with a cold face and walked straight to the parking lot on the other side.
Li Wan opened her eyes slightly, a little surprised at Li Zelin's "unreasonable behavior".
After hesitating for a moment, she had to turn around and walk to Yuan Yang, saying to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yuan Yang, I can't go to dinner with you. My eldest brother has something to tell me."
Yuan Yang's good mood instantly fell, but since the other party was Li Wan's brother, he could only say, "It's okay, go ahead."
Li Wan felt very sorry: "Then consider it as I owe you two meals."
Yuan Yang said, "It doesn't matter."
Li Wan smiled at him and said, "See you at the company tomorrow."
Yuan Yang nodded slightly and said "hmm".
......
Li Zelin sat in the car, watching Li Wan walking towards him, and his frosty expression eased a little.
The driver, Xiao Zhou, got out of the car early and opened the back door, asking Li to get in the evening.
Li Wan bent down and got into the car, and asked Li Zelin: "Where is Secretary Wu?"
Li Zelin said, "She has something to do."
Li Wan said "oh" and stopped talking, looking out the window.
She was thinking about Li Zelin and Secretary Wu, and coupled with Li Zelin's attitude of calling her out as soon as she was called, she didn't want to talk to him.
There was silence for a moment.
Li Zelin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Why are you asking her?"
Li Wan did not answer, but stared out the window intently. After a while, he suddenly turned his head to stare at Li Zelin and asked, "Brother, do you like Secretary Wu?"
Xiao Zhou, the driver who was concentrating on driving, was suddenly startled and his ears pricked up unconsciously.
Li Zelin frowned slowly: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Li Wan said, "If Big Brother doesn't like Secretary Wu, why would he bring her here today?"
"That's her job." Li Zelin seemed to find it hard to understand how he could have anything to do with Secretary Wu outside of work. He frowned and said, "She is my secretary, that's all."
He paused and asked coldly, "Are you and that Yuan Yang in a relationship?"
Li Wan looked at him and saw a cold, dark color in his eyes.
The author has something to say: Big brother, he is anxious, he is anxious, he is anxious
