The first item was the work of a famous calligrapher in Jingdu.
Because it was a charity auction, the starting bid for all the items was zero.
Soon, someone started bidding and offered ten thousand.
Seeing this, Liu Yang raised the sign in his hand and said, "One hundred thousand!"
Whoosh!
Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Liu Yang.
It increased tenfold in one go. How generous!
Although 100,000 yuan was nothing to the people present, the first item to be auctioned was just an ordinary painting.
Moreover, it was a modern painter's work and was not considered a masterpiece.
If this painting were to be put on the market, it would probably sell for ten or twenty thousand.
A satisfied smile appeared on Liu Yang's face as he enjoyed everyone's gazes.
At the same time, he glanced at He Lan and Mo Chen.
He thought that they would not bid for such an ordinary piece of work at one hundred thousand.
"Number 38 offered one hundred thousand. Is there anyone else?"
Soon, someone else made a bid.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
Hearing this voice, the smile on Liu Yang's face faded a little and he looked at the person who offered one hundred and fifty thousand.
It was an ordinary man in a suit. There was nothing special about him.
However, he was very familiar with the woman sitting next to him!
"Zhou Yanyan!
Why would she appear on such an occasion?
Zhou Yanyan was just a woman he met in a bar. He kicked her away after playing with her.
He did not expect to run into her here!
At the same time, Mo Chen also saw Zhou Yanyan and his heart skipped a beat.
She should be in a vegetative state and in the hospital right now.
It seemed that only the person from the future was behind this. If she came to find trouble with him, it would be a good opportunity to eliminate her and save him the trouble.
Moreover, the man beside her had changed. This woman was really good at sucking up to rich people.
At this time, Liu Yang, who was sitting in number 38, looked at Tian Bingbing who was slightly disappointed and raised the corner of his mouth.
Previously, he had promised her that he would definitely obtain this painting!
"Two hundred thousand!"
Whoosh!
The people around were slightly shocked.
This was only the first auction item, and it could be considered the most basic item. There was no need to raise the price so much.
The man sitting next to Zhou Yanyan paused for a moment before giving up the bid.
The host on the stage saw that no one was bidding, so he asked, "200,000, going once!
Is there anyone else who wants to follow? "
"Two hundred thousand going twice!"
He raised the small hammer of the Head Sect high up, wanting to make the final decision.
However, right at this moment.
Mo Chen slowly raised the sign in his hand. "Two million!"
Everyone else: "???"
Everyone's gaze fell on the young man who was holding the sign.
"Which clan's Young Master is this? How can he be so extravagant? It's just an ordinary painting, but he's willing to spend two million without blinking his eyes?"
"I don't know. He shouldn't be a local. Otherwise, why haven't we seen him before?"
"No, look. Isn't that He Lan, the boss of a certain company sitting next to him? Could it be that Mr. He made the bid? That person must have done it on his behalf!"
.....
"Mo Chen, this painting is worth at most twenty to thirty thousand yuan. If the bid is less than 500,000 yuan, I don't think anyone will dare to follow!"
He Lan turned her head to look at Mo Chen, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Her certain advertising company was already very well-known in the capital city, so there was no need for her to increase her popularity through charity auctions.
Her purpose for attending this charity auction was to find an opportunity to get along with Mo Chen and deepen their relationship.
She was not interested in these auction items.
However, before Mo Chen made the bid, Tian Bingbing, who was sitting at number 38, gave her a look of disdain, which made He Lan feel a little disgusted.
Could it be that Mo Chen snatched the bid from Liu Yang for her sake?
Thinking of this, the corner of her mouth could not help but curve into a beautiful smile.
Then she asked, "Do you like this piece of calligraphy very much?"
Mo Chen shrugged, "To be honest, this piece of calligraphy is very ordinary. If it was placed on a street stall, I don't think anyone would even take a look at it. There's nothing to like."
Hearing this, He Lan became even more excited. She did not expect Mo Chen to spend two million yuan so casually for her sake!
However, she still asked, "If you don't like it, why did you bid such a high price for it?"
"That …"
Mo Chen could not possibly say that it was because he had a cash refund card.
Then he grinned, "Isn't this a charity auction? It's good to do some charity!"
Hmph, still quibbling!
He Lan pursed her lips and nodded, not saying anything more.
"Two million yuan. If you use a ten times cash refund card, it'll be twenty million yuan."
Not bad, but for such an ordinary piece of calligraphy to be worth eighteen million yuan for free, it's not bad, Mo Chen thought to himself.
"As expected of the man I like, he's so generous."
Zhou Yanyan, who was sitting in the back row, smirked and thought to herself.
She had originally planned to attract attention at the auction and attract Mo Chen's attention, but it seemed that her plan was going to fail.
If she had known earlier, she would have hooked up with a top tycoon!
Thinking of this, she looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to her with disdain.
What a pauper!
At this moment, the emcee on the stage was extremely excited and shouted excitedly, "Mr. Number One bid two million yuan. Anyone else?"
"Two million yuan going once, two million yuan going twice!"
The emcee paused and looked at the bidders sitting below the stage. No one raised their paddle.
Suddenly, he shouted, "Two million yuan going thrice!"
"Dong!"
The final call was made.
This piece of calligraphy was bought by Mo Chen without any suspense.
"Mr. Number One, please come on stage to collect your calligraphy for the handover ceremony."
Was there a need to go through so much trouble?
Mo Chen looked at the cameras behind the venue. It seemed that they still needed to take a group photo.
He moved closer to He Lan's ear and said faintly, "Why don't you go and collect it for me? At the same time, I can help promote your company."
He Lan was stunned for a moment and looked at Mo Chen in confusion. Although her company did not need any promotion, Mo Chen had already said it. She took the bank card from Mo Chen and walked up.
Following the sound of the card being successfully swiped, Mo Chen heard a crisp sound in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for using 10X Charity Spending Card x1. You've received 10X Cash Return!"
Suddenly, Mo Chen picked up his phone and checked. Sure enough, his account had an additional 20 million yuan.
The auction here was also strange. They had to pay the bill once after the item was auctioned. Were they afraid that people would run away?
After He Lan paid the bill, she took a picture of the camera and came down.
At this moment, all eyes in the venue were focused on her, making her the focus of the moment.
Especially Tian Bingbing. Her eyes were about to pop out!
She looked at Liu Yang next to her and said, "Look at her boyfriend, then look at yourself!"
"Didn't you say that you would give it to me as a gift?"
Liu Yang grinned and whispered in her ear, "Bingbing, this piece of calligraphy doesn't look classy at all. It's not worthy of your status. When I find a good item, I'll buy it for you!"
"Okay, I got it."
Tian Bingbing rolled her eyes and reluctantly accepted it.
"Here, your spoils of war."
He Lan held the piece of calligraphy and handed it to Mo Chen.
