Chapter 147: The Mysterious Girl's Second Gift [No.30 3/13]
But clearly, there were many who were determined to win.
"20 million!"
"40 million!"
"..."
"Old Zhao, we won't fight over it anymore, it's yours."
Someone said that and suddenly no one else competed for it.
Eventually, the item was auctioned off to an elderly man with white hair.
Liu Ruyan had done her homework in advance and knew quite a bit about most of the magnates present. She whispered to Xu Hao, "This gentleman is the old family head of the Zhao Family and also the only grandson of that Zhao Family member who is the chief designer of the Donghong No.1 satellite."
Xu Hao immediately showed his respect for the elderly gentleman. He could somewhat understand his feelings, as the Zhao family member was often at the research institute, and it was likely that his own grandson rarely saw him.
Elder Dong continued, "As for the second auction item, I believe many have been looking forward to it for a long time. I won't keep you in suspense anymore—it's Old Master Qi's 'Floral and Bird Quadruple Screens'!"
When four young ladies lifted the large painting onto the auction stage, all those keen on collecting Old Master Qi's works were excited.
"Starting bid, 40 million!"
"45 million!"
"50 million!"
The bidding clearly wasn't as fierce as the previous item, after all, a painting's worth was something everyone had a measure of in their minds.
Eventually, it sold for a staggering 92 million.
The auction continued, and many unique and bizarre items gradually appeared before the eyes of the world.
Some items, whose exact values were unknown, unsurprisingly went unsold.
"This item has been consigned to us by a mysterious young lady, and she has a message she wants to share," said Elder Dong, his expression suddenly becoming a bit odd, before he continued, "She said that she wants to sell it to an interesting person, . . . and if he doesn't buy it, she absolutely won't let him off."
Having recited the message, even Elder Dong, who had faced countless occasions, had a few beads of sweat on his forehead.
It was terribly embarrassing for him, an old man, to read such a shameful statement in front of such a large crowd.
When the audience heard this, and saw Elder Dong's expression, they couldn't help but chuckle.
At this, Le Wanqing said unhappily, "What's going on with Didixiya Auction House? How can just anyone consign items? What valuable item could a little kid possibly bring?"
But upon hearing Elder Dong's words, Xu Hao's heart skipped a beat, An interesting person?
She did indeed have this habit of not giving gifts in a normal way, instead choosing to auction them off while always speaking harsh words.
Liu Ruyan also thought of that young girl and snorted lightly as she fiercely stomped on Xu Hao's foot.
Xu Hao immediately pretended to be in great pain, repeatedly begging for mercy.
Liu Ruyan then finally stopped, satisfied.
Seeing Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan, a beautiful woman, flirting, Le Wanqing's eyes almost popped out with jealousy.
Elder Dong gathered his composure and said sternly, "This young consignor is really quite interesting."
...
What he didn't know was that the mysterious young girl, Tuoba Fengyi of the Tuoba Family, was sitting in the back row with her grandfather.
Upon hearing Elder Dong's words, she muttered, "Old man, if you keep talking nonsense, watch out, I'll hit you!"
Her grandfather scolded her, "Fengyi, stop making a fuss."
Tuoba Fengyi pouted, unhappy, "Grandpa, he might be in danger this time. Can't I just directly give him the item?"
"Of course not!" her grandfather said sternly, "This young man has been having too easy a time lately; that's not good. He needs to feel some pressure to get stronger faster, time is running out."
"Okay," Tuoba Fengyi said, holding her cheeks in her small hands, her eyes piercing through the crowd directly at Xu Hao, while she muttered, "First spank Liu Ruyan until her ass is on fire, then starve Chen Suyi for three days, then beat Jiang Xuezhun until her nose bleeds and her face bruises, and finally **** Qin Yao, perfect!"
Her grandfather sighed deeply, having only taken her out for a few days, and she had already learned so many bad things, alas, a family misfortune!
The grandfather and granddaughter were talking, but the people around them strangely couldn't hear them.
...
On the auction stage.
Once the item was brought up, Elder Dong said, "Honestly, I'm not sure what this thing actually is. Even our entire branch doesn't know, and we didn't have time to ask the headquarters.
But this young friend said that those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't, even if they ask, still won't understand. It seems I am one of those who wouldn't understand, as she didn't tell me what this is, alas, and I thought I was knowledgeable!"
The audience burst into laughter, Elder Dong, usually considered a knowledgeable man, was actually being mocked by a little girl.
Elder Dong shook his head and sighed, appearing very disheartened, but many knew that this was just to stir up the mood.
He unveiled the red cloth.
It was a dark disc, the material was indiscernible, but there was a faint glow shimmering on it, with a golden sun pattern in the center. Against the surrounding darkness, it was somewhat dazzling; the disc was also embellished with some ancient and profound patterns.
