When this jade zodiac ornament appeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up!
This ornament is about the size of a fist.
A lifelike little monkey is inlaid on the rosewood base.
The jade monkey is beautifully carved, showing its cleverness and cunning to the extreme.
Everyone present was either the head of a wealthy family or a rich and powerful person, so naturally they were well-informed.
They could tell at a glance that this ornament was a rare treasure in terms of craftsmanship and texture!
Among the crowd was a middle-aged man with a round face who knew what to buy. He exclaimed: "Okay, it's the best kind of clear water glass. Those faint smudges are natural impurities."
Someone curiously asked: "Impurities? How come there are impurities and it's still top quality?"
The round-faced man frowned: "What do you know? Not only did these hits not affect the quality, but they actually added some faint water ripples to the texture of the jade."
Everyone looked carefully and found that it was exactly what the round-faced man said.
For a time, wealthy businessmen who loved jade began to rush to raise signs.
"Half a million!"
"One million!"
"One and a half million!"
In the blink of an eye, the price soared to three million.
Just when everyone was scrambling for this ornament.
Xia Tong discovered that Lin Fan was holding champagne in his left hand and dry red wine in his right hand, drinking it happily.
"You should drink less." Xia Tong touched Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smacked his lips and said, "I think of the Monkey King Brewing on our mountain. Your wine is just like water!"
"I have never seen the world, but this is tens of thousands of bottles."
Lin Fan chuckled: "Really? Then I should drink more."
"Drink, drink, I don't care if you're drunk," Xia Tong's eyes shone, "You said that if we could take a photo of this ornament, it would definitely be outstanding at the exhibition."
"What's this?"
Lin Fan curled his lips: "I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing was given away for free. It has no use except taking up space."
"Tch, you are boasting too much!" Xia Tong rolled his eyes.
She looked at this jade ornament with longing in her eyes.
But Xia Tong also knew that the price of several million was too high for her.
This jade ornament has no destiny for her.
When the price reached four million, the number of people raising placards gradually decreased.
At this moment, Ge Bo, who was in the center of the crowd, also leisurely raised the sign.
"Five million!"
Everyone was a little shocked when they heard this number.
After seeing clearly the person holding the sign, everyone opened their mouths in disbelief.
"I... am I right? This is Mr. Ge's offer?"
"Yes, didn't the host just say that Ge Bo brought out this ornament?"
"Buying your own things is not how you spend your money, right?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Ge Bo was selling in his gourd.
Not only the people in the audience, but also the hostess on the stage were stunned.
She hesitated: "Young Master Ge, you..."
"Why, can't I make a quote?"
The hostess quickly shook her head: "Of course not, it's just..."
"Then hurry up, I'll bid five million."
When he said this, Ge Bo turned his head arrogantly and looked at Xia Tong and Lin Fan.
It's a pity that Xia Tong's attention is all on the jade ornaments.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, held up two empty glasses and looked around, looking for the waiter.
Ge Bo was so angry that he just wanted to jump around. I'm going to show off soon. Can you two be serious?
Facing the hostess on the stage, Ge Bo gave a sharp look.
The hostess immediately turned up the volume of the microphone: "Ahem, Mr. Ge is offering five million, is there anyone else who wants to follow?!"
Because they couldn't figure out Ge Bo's thoughts, most people chose to give up.
But there are also those who really like it, and they still grit their teeth and say: "Five...five million and one million."
A trace of ferocity flashed in Ge Bo's eyes, but he immediately returned to smiling: "Six million."
The whole place was in an uproar!
This Ge Bo actually directly increased the price by another one million?!
You know, although this thing is very good, it is just a small ornament after all.
The price of four to five million is already the limit.
What Ge Bo is doing now is just throwing away money.
Finally, even Xia Tong, who had always been disgusted, couldn't help but look at him.
Ge Bo felt proud and finally looked at me.
After satisfying everyone's appetite, Ge Bo said slowly, "I think everyone is confused, right?"
"It's obviously something I brought out myself, why do I have to bid again and again?"
"I did this entirely because of..."
Ge Bo stood up and pointed: "Xia Tong, Miss Xia!"
The lighting engineer, who had received the order long ago, turned off all the lights with a snap.
A beam of spotlight was directed towards Xia Tong.
The focus of the entire audience was immediately focused on her.
Xia Tong was a little surprised: "Me?"
"That's right, Xiaotong, I do it all for you!"
Ge Bo showed a sincere expression: "I know you are a monkey, and this little monkey zodiac ornament is specially prepared for you."
"The reason why I took it out and took pictures myself is because I know that you are planning an antique exhibition."
"When the time comes, the money I contribute will be used as a charitable donation to the Antiques Association."
"And this jade ornament will be given to you in my own name!"
Xia Tong frowned: "What do you want in return for doing this?"
"Xiaotong, you know that I am willing to do anything for you and never ask for anything in return."
"If I really want to give back, then I have one wish in my life."
"Please, marry me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the jade ornaments were delivered to Ge Bo's hands.
Ge Bo also knelt down on one knee, took the jade ornament, and handed it to Xia Tong.
Ge Bo said affectionately: "Xiaotong, I love you!"
The entire banquet hall was silent at first, and then burst into thunderous applause.
Everything seemed so perfect, except Xia Tong, who was standing there.
Of course she didn't want to, she had a hundred and a thousand unwillingnesses in her heart.
In front of a large audience, he spoke carefully designed lines and presented valuable gifts.
This is not a proposal at all, but a forced marriage!
"Marry him!"
"Marry him!"
Everyone started to make noises. In their opinion, being able to marry the famous Ge family in Tianyuan was the dream of countless girls.
Xia Tong has already reached a high level!
Enjoying the cheers of the crowd, Ge Bo showed a proud expression.
He didn't believe it. At this point, how could Xia Tong refuse?
All this is within his calculation.
To be precise, it was due to the calculations of his father, Ge Tian, the head of the Ge family.
From the moment Xia Tong received the call, she had already stepped into Ge Tian's trap.
