011 Charity Auction
Before the charity auction, there was a buffet party before standing in the small banquet hall. Qin Mingrui glanced his eyes and said, "I'll go to say hello. You can eat something first."
Without giving her a chance to react, Qin Mingrui pulled out her hand and then walked towards the three or five people who were holding a glass and talking happily.
When she was suddenly left, Wen Shao'an's fall suddenly attracted the side eyes of many celebrities or noble women, and many people even openly pointed out to her, but no one came forward to greet her.
Although she is Mrs. Qin San, she is beautiful and has no background, not to mention that Qin Mingrui is still a low-ranking illegitimate child. Due to business and face, men certainly can't neglect Qin Mingrui, but women absolutely have no reason to take the initiative to show their goodwill.
Wen Shao'an sighed secretly, walked aside with a glass of champagne, and immediately walked towards the nearest group of women.
She was so happy that she didn't know anyone. She came forward and said, "Hm Wen Shao'an."
And even if that group of women don't want to sthwart her, they won't show their rejection too clearly. One of the women with a mild temperament and looking only more than 30 smiled and said, "I'm Lu Fangman. This is Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Luo, Luo's daughter Luo Linlang, Mrs. Shi..."
In this way, Lu Fangman introduced almost all the women present to Wen Shao'an with a gentle smile, as if she had always played such a role.
When Lu Fangman was called away, Luo Linlang, who had not been looking at her, suddenly pulled her aside: "Are you in the same company as Ling Qiuyu?"
"..." Star chasing or? Wen Shao'an's smile remained unchanged: "Yes."
"It's no wonder he said you were his sister." After receiving Wen Shao'an's suspicious eyes, Luo Linlang suddenly blushed: "We used to be classmates. Thanks to your marriage with Qin Shao, we were able to meet again at the wedding."
This reaction... She just didn't want to guess. Wen Shao'an was a little surprised: "Is that right? That shows that you are very predestined."
"Ha, right..." Luo Linlang's face was covered with blush. In order to change the topic, he had to hurriedly turn his head and pointed to Lu Fangman and said, "You'd better have less contact with her. She is Shen Rulin's public mistress. Your mother-in-law has hated her for a day or two."
Wen Shao'an was really surprised this time. She carefully checked all the news related to the Shen family, but she didn't know that Shen Rulin had an open mistress. Was it too public to write or was the media blocked when she wanted to write it? And Shen Rulin, who had just met the men on Qin Mingrui's side at the wedding banquet, was among them.
No matter what, Shen Rulin's wife is still there, and it is Lu Fangman, the mistress who accompanied Shen Rulin to various public occasions, which shows that her means are really powerful.
When Luo Linlang saw her surprised face, she couldn't help but feel a little complaish. Usually, she was taken to listen to others on such occasions, and it was rare for a person who knew less than her.
"Let's go and eat something first." And it is Ling Qiuyu's sister, and Luo Linlang is more willing to get in contact with Wen Shao'an.
It is said to be a dinner party, but no one will really eat.
After Wen Shao'an followed Luo Linlang to eat some foie gras and cheese at will, the charity auction officially began.
Since it is a charity auction, all auction items are donated by people present or future arrivals, including ancient jade, authentic paintings and various ancient porcelain.
Qin Mingrui was willing to walk back to Wen Shao'an and handed her a number plate and a detailed brochure of the auction item: "You will be responsible for bidding later. Well, just buy the seventh Qianlong period blue and white porcelain Guanyin bottle."
Wen Shao'an turned his head to look at him, inadvertently aiming at several cameramen in the banquet hall and was quietly looking for a good place to start shooting.
So that's it... Wen Shao'an took the thing and then turned the pamphlet over to the seventh auction item. Although she didn't know jade, she also knew that the donation to this auction could not be too cheap, but the starting price was 5 million!?
She thought that this small auction might start at 100,000 or hundreds of thousands, but she didn't expect it to be 5 million.
However, on second thought, the scale of the auction that can be attended by both Qin and Shen is not too large, but the level of auction products must be the highest.
When Qin Mingrui went further, Luo Linlang came over again: "Qin Sanshao is quite good, but it's a pity..."
Wen Shao'an knew what the second half of the sentence was without saying it. She just smiled and didn't answer.
Luo Linlang shrugged her shoulders indifferently and turned her eyes to the pamphlet in her hand: "Well, did he ask you to pat it? Which one to shoot?
Wen Shao'an pointed the jade to her: "This."
"Oh, this is the blue and white porcelain donated by my mother." Luo Linlang turned her eyes and immediately remembered, "I heard that the original price was nearly six million. My mother is really willing to do it this time."
"..." It seems that the starting price of five million is not too high. Wen Shao'an asked quietly, "Is this auction very important?"
Luo Linlang shook his head: "Actually, there is once a year, and the most important thing is to show off your wealth."
After saying that, she made a mysterious form and came to Wen Shao'an's ear: "I heard from my mother that your Qin family donated a Tang Sancai blue glaze horse this time, which will cost more than 10 million yuan. I don't know who will take it away."
It should be said that I don't know what kind of high price it will be? Wen Shao'an looked through the pamphlet in his hand and found the Tang Sancai blue glaze horse mentioned by Luo Linlang. The starting price was 10 million yuan.
The host on the stage finished his brief speech, and then the Miss Etiquette pushed up the first auction item.
In the order from cheap to expensive, the box contains a count men's mechanical watch starting at 500,000 yuan, and 619 diamonds shines in the dim yellow light.
As the host on the stage introduced, Luo Linlang said in Wen Shao'an's ear, "Even if this watch is brand new, it is estimated that it will be a decoration if it is bought back with millions."
Yes, do real rich people need to wear watches at auction, unless someone really likes it and must buy it.
Despite this, people still hold up signs and bid frequently.
In less than a minute, the watch was sold at a high price of three million, and the person who bought it was the previous Mrs. Liu.
Luo Linlang sighed: "My mother is estimated to throw tens of millions into it again."
Wen Shao'an smiled and said, "Since you want to do charity, you have to be decent."
"It's also." Luo Linlang spit out her tongue.
The price of the next few auction items is only high but not low. As Luo Linlang said, Mrs. Luo bought a piece of Hetian jade starting from 1 million at a high price of 15 million.
Then soon it was Qin Mingrui's turn to shoot the blue and white porcelain.
This more expensive auction item is directly set at one million every time the price jumps.
After the beginning, Wen Shao'an did not move, but waited for the people next to him to shout one by one.
Luo Linlang looked at her curiously at first, but later saw that the bidder didn't seem to want to stop, so she pressed curiosity and waited patiently.
When the price jumped to 20 million, Wen Shao'an silently raised his card.
"No. 12 Qin's family 21 million!"
"No. 6 Shen family 22 million!"
Hearing this, Wen Shao'an subconsciously turned his head and looked at Lu Fangman standing among a group of noble women, while Lu Fangman did not squint and smiled gently.
It seems that no one is interested in grabbing things from the Qin family and the Shen family, and no one bids after that.
Wen Shao'an had to raise the card again.
"No. 12 Qin family's two-three million!"
"No. 6 Shen's family 24 million!"
"..." What's going on? Wen Shao'an turned his head and looked at Qin Mingrui on the other side, but he didn't look at her, but looked at the blue and white porcelain on the stage.
Since there is no hint or stop, and it's not her money anyway, so let's continue.
It's impossible for outsiders to think that the Qin family is coming to an auction, but they don't want to buy anything, right?
So the whole auction was led to an impasse caused by such a competition between the two companies. Some people joked that some people sneered and some people were uninterested with themselves.
It was not until 49 million that Lu Fangman gave up raising the card and set the hammer in three seconds... Blue and white porcelain returned to the Qin family.
From beginning to end, Qin Mingrui's face was as calm as ever, either thinking or smiling faintly. In short, he didn't look at Wen Shao'an, who had been trying to raise the card.
The blue and white porcelain was taken away by her, and Lu Fangman set the target on the Tang Sancai blue glaze donated by the Qin family.
The starting price of 10 million and the jump price of 5 million are at 50 million.
As a result, the two heads of the normal auction were seated again by Qin and Shen.
The auction ended successfully. Qin Mingrui signed the check and took the blue and white porcelain, so he took Wen Shao'an away easily.
The silent atmosphere continued until Qin Mingrui drove the car a few hundred meters away from the hotel before he said as if nothing had happened: "Good performance. My mother has loved this blue and white porcelain for a long time, and Shen Rulin must have wanted to take a picture and give it to her."
Wen Shao'an seemed to be very calm, but in fact, he had been panicked for a long time. 49 million to shoot a six million blue and white porcelain, but in the situation that her husband doesn't love her parents-in-law and doesn't hurt, she is really likely to make a mistake to pave the way for all her previous efforts.
After listening to Qin Mingrui's words, all the entanglement in his heart was evacuated in an instant.
"...Hmm. Congratulations." Wen Shao calmed down and softened his tone.
Qin Mingrui turned his head to look at her, turned back and said, "Congratulations on what I'm doing? This is our common gift to our mother, and even if she likes it, she may not appreciate us.
Wen Shao'an asked calmly, "Do you want to please her?"
Qin Mingrui laughed and said, "Why not? She blames me for hating me, and I can only respect her.
"Dear?" Wen Shao'an repeated in a low voice, and then said, "She must also be very distressed. Obviously, the result you want is that you also blame her for hating her. You don't want to have to write a respectful word, and you have to try your best to pick."
"Oh..." Qin Mingrui smiled again: "It's not her who is wrong. Sometimes I feel that she is not easy, so I add a little tolerance in addition to respect, otherwise how can she get along peacefully until now?"
He said a little more today. Wen Shao'an did not dare to be complacent: "I will try my best."
