Chapter 1298 Bidding
The charity auction officially starts at eight o'clock.
Ji Yichen, as the person in charge of the organizer, is responsible for the opening.
These are all official statements, nothing special.
Mu Nianwan didn't listen much, her eyes glanced around casually, very quietly.
At the end of the opening, Ji Yichen handed the microphone back to the host and went straight to Mu Nianwan.
There was still a seat beside her, and when Ji Yichen came over to sit down, Mu Nianwan was looking at the auction brochure.
There are quite a lot of auction items, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, etc.
Mu Nianwan flipped through it casually, his interest waning.
Ji Yichen came over without even batting an eye.
Ji Yichen didn't care, and looked sideways at the booklet in her hand. On it was a yellow diamond ring, shaped like a flower, with a 131.4-carat yellow diamond in the center and 520 diamonds inlaid around it.
It is reported that the designer loves Chinese elements very much and knows that Chinese couples have a special liking for this number, so he came up with this ring.
Meaning - giving you unique love!
Ji Yichen couldn't help but stare at the ring a little deeper. Seeing that she didn't turn it over immediately like before, he whispered: "Like it?"
Mu Nianwan flipped through the night with her fingers relaxed, and said lazily: "It's not bad."
No one dislikes beautiful things.
But if you like it, you don't have to own it.
She took a second look at the ring, but it was because the yellow diamond was of rare weight.
You must know that it is not difficult to find rare yellow diamonds, but it is not easy to find a rough diamond of the same gram size and without cutting.
Fortunately, this sentence is purely for appreciation and has no other meaning.
But Ji Yichen didn't understand it that way.
He waved sideways, and Cao Xu appeared beside him not long after.
I leaned over and listened to him whisper a few words, and then left quickly.
As for what was said, Mu Nianwan didn't listen and didn't care much.
The host livened up the atmosphere and quickly handed over the scene to the auctioneer.
The auction officially begins.
When the lights dimmed, the first lot was transported to the stage by professionals.
It's an oil painting.
Mu Nianwan had no interest in it. She had studied painting, so she naturally knew that this was a unique painting.
The value is immeasurable.
My grandfather also liked to collect calligraphy and paintings when he was still alive. There was a room in the Mu family's old house in Haicheng where many of them were stored.
Later, because of problems with Mu's family, she sold everything.
Later, the house was bought back by Huo Jinshen, including the antique calligraphy and paintings she sold.
To this day, she still can't forget the shock she felt when she saw those things when she first entered.
Because they didn't even know some of them before she sold them off, but he was able to deliver everything intact to her hands again.
What kind of dedication does it take to do all this?
Mu Nianwan couldn't help but look around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see a familiar figure.
But soon I seemed a little disappointed.
Therefore, there is really no way to meet again.
The hand holding the manual never moved again.
The auction went smoothly, and most of the items were sold at prices exceeding expectations.
Until that yellow diamond appeared.
Ji Yichen first looked at the stage, then looked sideways at Mu Nianwan, only to see her lazily leaning on her chair, staring at the manual in a daze.
Looking down, the items in the manual were very ordinary and not something she would like.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ji Yichen asked in a low voice.
"The painting is still at the back. If you feel uncomfortable sitting there for a long time, I will go for a walk with you."
Mu Nianwan came back to her senses, closed the manual, and then turned her eyes to the stage: "No need."
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Ji Yichen didn't say anything more.
The yellow diamond auction has begun, and bids are coming one after another.
Mu Nianwan watched the prices rise little by little, and most of them were men with female companions.
It seems that many people like this ring with unique meaning.
"One hundred and twenty million..." Suddenly, the auctioneer shouted loudly.
The finger is pointing in a certain direction.
Mu Nianwan raised her eyebrows.
I followed my fingers and saw a counter lady looking at the yellow diamond on the table with confidence.
As if she was sure that this yellow diamond would definitely belong to her.
"Is anyone else raising the price?" the auctioneer asked routinely.
But for a long time no one raised the sign.
Because this yellow diamond has far exceeded the previous auction price of a 100-carat yellow diamond.
Although everyone present is not short of money, they are not fools either.
Doing charity is charity, but the shrewdness of businessmen also makes them know that what they give and what they receive in return must be equal, even for good deeds.
Therefore, they will not be stupid enough to fight for a ring that is far more than it is worth.
"One hundred and twenty million once, one hundred and twenty million twice..." the auctioneer shouted vigorously on the stage, raising the auction mallet in his hand with the second time.
It will fall only when it falls for the third time and no one raises the card again.
"One hundred and twenty millionth..."
"Two hundred million." Suddenly, a sound that was neither light nor heavy sounded like a thunderclap in the quiet venue, causing discussions to break out.
Everyone looked at Ji Yichen who was holding a sign in astonishment.
Some were surprised or shocked, but soon they looked like "that's how it should be".
Just now I was worried about digging three feet into the ground just to go to the bathroom. If the girl likes this ring, it is natural for her to spend thousands of dollars on it.
However, Mu Nianwan was also surprised.
She turned her head and frowned slightly: "I don't want it."
Ji Yichen doesn't have any intimate women around him. If he doesn't hesitate to get something like this for 200 million, he will definitely not collect it for himself.
In addition, she remembered that he had asked her before the auction started.
At that time, I thought it was just a casual question. After all, he did not participate in the bidding at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, I had already made up my mind in my heart. I didn't bother to compete with those people. I just waited for the price that others could not beat and finally won it with confidence.
Ji Yichen smiled, saying it was no surprise that she would refuse.
He said softly: "I originally wanted to take a picture of that painting for you, but I think you would rather take it yourself. I looked at other things, and this ring seems to be better."
You can't accept me now, but I still want to give you my unique love.
But Ji Yichen also knew that if he told the truth, she would definitely not accept it.
Then he changed his excuse and said, "Just treat it as a gift from me to the unborn baby."
"After all, it's a meeting gift, so it can't be too shabby."
The half-joking words did not make Mu Nianwan feel relieved.
She just pursed her lips and looked at him, her eyes resisting.
Ji Yichen still just smiled softly, raised his hand and gently rubbed it on the top of her hair, "You should know that those numbers have no meaning, don't think too much."
If a person is careless, then no matter how meaningful the numbers are placed in front of him, they are just simple Arabic numerals.
