Chapter 164 The roommate of the gentle double-faced senior (17)
Bo Taoyao followed Gu Chuan's gaze and saw the butt of a modified pink and white Bentley. The license plate number looked like a string of birthday numbers. Diamonds were inlaid around the license plate, which was elegant.
Noble and girlish.
It seems that this car should be the exclusive luxury car of Xia Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Xia family. There is only one car like this found in the city, and no second one.
When Gu Chuan saw Xia Yanran's car, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, his eyes brightened: "I didn't expect her to come today, too. He is the closed disciple that Mr. Wen Di likes. It's normal for her to come with him, but she
Why don’t you contact me…”
Bo Taoyao asked curiously: "Miss Xia Yanran, is she the senior Xia who was directly admitted to Yale University with the top score in liberal arts in her senior year of high school last year?"
Gu Chuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Bo Taoyao, who was looking ahead with him with eyes that admired the stars.
He couldn't help but laugh, and there seemed to be pride in his tone: "Yes, that's her, she has always been so good."
Bo Taoyao glanced at the smiling Gu Chuan and asked curiously: "It seems that you are very familiar with Senior Sister Xia?"
Gu Chuan didn't hide it either: "Well, our two families have been neighbors since childhood and grew up together."
Bo Taoyao was even more surprised: "Then why don't you let Senior Sister Xia bring you to this charity dinner?"
Gu Chuan's smile stopped on his face. After a while, he said with a normal expression: "I didn't know she had returned to China. She probably didn't know that I wanted to come to the dinner."
He said this calmly, as if he didn't care much.
In fact, being said by an "outsider" like Bo Taoyao unintentionally made him feel uncomfortable.
Yes, why didn't Xia Yanran tell him when she returned to China? Does she know that his father brought his illegitimate brother to this charity dinner but did not bring him?
The relationship between the Gu family and the Xia family is so good, and his father likes to go out to play golf and drink tea with Xia Yanran's father. Doesn't Xia Yanran know?
Bo Taoyao didn't know what Gu Chuan was thinking. She looked at Gu Chuan's indifferent expression and said with a naive smile: "Tsk, it must be that Senior Sister Xia is not as familiar as you said.
Of course, that's Senior Sister Xia. She's such an outstanding person, so it's understandable that you want to get close to her."
Gu Chuan knocked on Bo Taoyao's head and changed the topic without leaving any trace: "I've given you the courage to talk to Bao Taoyao now.
We're here, get off the car, and when you get in, follow my instructions, follow me, don't run around, it's best if you do whatever I tell you to do, do you hear me?"
"Okay." This time Bao Taoyao agreed obediently.
After getting off the car, Bo Tao and Gu Chuan entered through the highly private VIP passage.
At the door of the VIP aisle, Bo Taoyao handed over a gold-plated and anti-counterfeiting invitation coupon.
The staff member in charge of registration was slightly surprised when he saw the invitation ticket from the Bo family: "Hey, didn't the Bo family say they won't attend?"
Bo Taoyao explained: "My parents won't come, but I will."
One invitation ticket can enter two people. Bo Taoyao's invitation letter was in her name. There was no problem. The staff immediately let them in and sent a special concierge assistant to take them in.
The theme of the charity dinner is charity, and the organizer has prepared a batch of top-notch luxury and collectible jewelry for auction.
All proceeds from the auction will be donated to build Hope Primary Schools in impoverished mountainous areas.
After the auction ends, a celebration banquet will be held in the hall, where top wealthy people gather together with champagne and wine to discuss the most cutting-edge project developments and trends in various industries.
It was the first time for Bo Taoyao to come to this kind of dinner party, and she looked around curiously.
The concierge assistant took them to a private room with a large floor-to-ceiling window. Sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, they could enjoy tea and snacks while participating in the auction below.
When they see the auction items on the booth in the hall below, if they like it, they can directly press the auction button in the private room to participate in the bidding.
This can effectively protect the privacy of bidders. Bidders who are willing to disclose their information will do so, and those who are unwilling can choose to keep it confidential.
Bo Taoyao had been watching the auction by the floor-to-ceiling window intently since the beginning. She had seen such a scene before, so she was very excited.
After a few items were put up for auction, a unique ruby necklace that was passed down from the Middle Ages in Europe and America to the present was put on the auction block.
The ruby embedded in it was not very big, but the color was very positive, and the vines surrounding it were complicated and beautiful. Bo Taoyao fell in love with it at first sight.
But because this necklace was not made by a famous artist, the starting price is not very expensive, starting at 500,000 yuan.
Bo Taoyao fell in love with it at first sight, but was stopped when a buyer called out one million for the auction price.
Seeing that the auctioneer's hammer was about to fall, Bo Taoyao pressed the button to snap up the auction and raised the bid to 1.5 million.
With this click, the auctioneer below was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that such an unpopular lot would actually increase the price by half on the last night.
Gu Chuan was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and asked Bo Taoyao, dumbfounded, "Do you like this?"
It's really strange for a boy to like this kind of ruby necklace.
Bo Taoyao smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, I like it. I think it's very beautiful."
Gu Chuan was noncommittal. Well, everyone has different preferences and tastes, so it was hard for him to make any comments.
The seller who had previously bid one million increased his bid by another hundred thousand when the auctioneer started counting down.
Bo Taoyao directly increased it to two million.
After a moment of silence, the price was increased to 2.4 million.
Bo Taoyao increased the price to three million without hesitation.
After a lot of pulling and pulling, Bo Taoyao finally succeeded in buying this little-known medieval ruby necklace for five million.
She happily went from the VIP box to the backstage to sign the contract and swipe her card. The staff said very politely that they would keep the necklace until the end of the dinner. After that, they could send a special car to deliver the necklace to her home.
.
Bo Taoyao was very happy. When she returned to the box, her steps were jumping with joy.
Gu Chuan looked at Bo Taoyao who was jumping up and down, and said helplessly: "You bought this necklace at a price five times higher than the market price, and you are still so happy. Are you stupid?"
Bo Taoyao cared about his complaints. She was very happy when she bought the necklace she wanted. She happily said to Gu Chuan, "What's the matter? My mother just gave me five million in pocket money. I don't have any money."
It is better to spend it than to use it,
Oh, yes, when I signed the purchase contract in the background, I was told that disclosing the buyer’s information would increase my reputation.
I don’t need reputation, but I think you do, so I told them to write your name as Gu Chuan when they disclose the five million donation."
Gu Chuan was stunned again: "You... publicly asked me to write my name? How did you know that I need reputation?"
Bo Taoyao patted him on the shoulder with a young and mature look and said, "Although I don't usually say it, I understand that you act like this every day and don't dare to stop for a moment. It must be for the inheritance of the family.
Well,
We were roommates, and we got along quite happily afterwards. You were so serious about helping me tutor English. It’s useless for me to ask for this reputation, so it’s just the right gift for you.”
Gu Chuan looked at Bo Taoyao intently for a long time, turned his head and said softly: "What a fool..."
The prompt sound of the slag removal system sounded: "Ding, the mission target Gu Chuan's favorability towards you has increased to 30 points, please continue to work hard!"
Bo Taoyao raised the corners of his lips: "Sure enough, since ancient times, the trick of spending money on favorability has been invincible and useful for both men and women. As long as you hit the right place, there is no heart that cannot be moved with money!"
