'Nouveau riche', Feng Nan thought of this adjective in her mind. This word did not fit the positioning and image she had created for herself. She was afraid that after today, this word would be used to describe her.
She was already furious, and the look in Zhao Junhan's eyes added fuel to the fire:
"Spend 1.5 million to buy a piece of paper. This money is enough to buy a painting or calligraphy by a famous person."
Zhao Junhan was still laughing at her. She suppressed her anxiety and anger and squeezed out the words from between her teeth:
"Shut up..."
Zhang Jing'an's autograph session brought the party to a climax before it came to an end. Then someone donated two bottles of wine, which were bought for 30,000 yuan.
Next, the staff brought out two pieces of clothing packed in gift boxes.
Sheng Jingzhi picked up one of the gift boxes with one hand and showed the clothes inside to the people in the room:
"These are the two dresses donated by Jiang Se, in black and white, designed by the famous French designer Julien."
As soon as he heard Jiang Se's name, Feng Zhongliang turned his head:
“You donated it?”
At such a banquet, Jiang Se is bound to donate something, but generally speaking, it is the people around her who should support her and buy back the things she donated at a high price to enhance her face and status.
This is also a time to prove how popular a star is. If no one is bidding, most of the time people among the star will bid and buy it back at a price that is about 10% higher than the price of the dress itself. After experiencing the previous auction, Jiang Se had a rough idea in his mind.
She nodded, and Sheng Jingzhi on the stage continued:
"Everyone should know the origin of these two dresses. Jiang Se once wore these two dresses in the advertisement of Hong Kong China Jewelry and became a sensation."
The box contained the two dresses that were the finale of the jewelry collection that Jiang Se photographed for Honghua, one black and one white. The photographer insisted on using the black and white photography style to match the dresses, which caused quite a sensation.
Afterwards, many people were curious about the two dresses, but unfortunately Julien never produced the same style of dresses, so when these two dresses were put on display, they created a very good effect.
The starting price of the two dresses was 100,000, and each time the bid was raised the price would increase by 10,000. When Sheng Jingzhi finished explaining the rules, Feng Nan was still sneering in his heart: no one would buy such old clothes, but a lady sitting in the front row raised her hand first.
Things did not turn out as Feng Nan had imagined. Jiang Se's two dresses were coldly received.
On the contrary, although these two dresses were not well received among celebrities, they were very popular among wealthy wives. In just five or six minutes, the price had reached 360,000.
After reaching 360,000, there were still a few ladies who had no intention of letting go.
Feng Nan could see clearly that the ladies who raised their hands were all well-known figures in the country.
One of them was Mrs. Zhang from Changhe Electronic Technology, who left the deepest impression on her.
Before her rebirth, she had met Mrs. Zhang when she was with Zhao Junhan. Her husband's company had cooperated with Jianghua Group. That time, she begged Zhao Junhan to take her to the event, but Mrs. Zhang brought her daughter and refused to look her in the eye from beginning to end.
At that time, this woman had eyes on the top of her head, but I didn’t expect that she would pick up old clothes of celebrities and wear them now.
Thinking of this, Feng Nan felt both disdainful and even more angry.
When the bid for the two dresses reached 500,000, Feng Nan could no longer sit still. There were still people in the venue who continued to raise their hands, and it was obvious that Mrs. Zhang was determined to get the two dresses.
Such a price has already hyped up Jiang Se's dress to an extremely high level.
Most of the stars in the venue had forced smiles, especially those who had donated clothes before but ended up buying them with their own money, feeling even more embarrassed.
Seeing that fewer and fewer people were vying for it, Feng Zhongliang turned his head and gave Xiao Liu a few instructions. Xiao Liu took a pen and wrote the words "one million" on the sign as he instructed. As soon as Xiao Liu raised the sign and Sheng Jingzhi shouted "one million", the whole place was boiling!
Many people were shocked. Sheng Jingzhi obviously didn't expect the two dresses to be sold at such a high price. He confirmed:
"Mr. Feng, one million?"
Xiao Liu nodded!
For a moment, the people around looked at Jiang Se with jealousy and envy. Feng Nan was so angry that she wanted to cry. She had embarrassed herself before, but Feng Zhongliang had no intention of helping her at all. But now he was helping Jiang Se instead. Why
Jiang Se was also a little surprised and turned his head:
"Grandpa, why do you pay so much money?"
"It's best for girls to pack their own clothes." He smiled and sighed:
"Sese, have I ever told you that you and my granddaughter are very similar?"
When he said this, he looked a little sad:
"She used to be very well-behaved and obedient. Sometimes I always feel that you and she have too many similar habits."
He recalled the first time Jiang Se came to Feng's house with Pei Yi and peeled an apple for him, and his eyes became softer:
"She has a habit of keeping everything she has worn neatly in order and never giving it away," he laughed. "She is like me in this respect."
Feng Zhongliang's voice became lower, with some nostalgia and discomfort in his eyes. Jiang Se clenched his fists and placed them on his thighs, almost unable to control his inner feelings at the moment.
The following auction seemed much more dull. In addition to Shao Cunjin's incense burner being sold at the price Jiang Se had estimated long ago, Jiang Se also won the folding fan for 670,000.
In the end, Feng Nan's painting by Ou Miaosheng did not sell for as high a price as she had imagined. Even when Sheng Jingzhi announced the set price of 800,000, Feng Zhongliang raised his hand and no one competed with him anymore.
Even Zhao Junhan, who had already made an agreement with Feng Nan, knew better and didn't dare to follow the moment he saw Feng Zhongliang take action.
Feng Nan's plan failed, and the painting fell into the hands of Feng Zhongliang. Her calligraphy and painting were not even sold at the market price. She produced such a thing, but in the end it did not have the effect it should have.
She did become famous tonight, but it was not a good name.
Not only was he ridiculed for buying Zhang Jing'an's calligraphy at a high price, but his paintings were also coldly received.
Her grandfather showed up, but did not stand up for her.
When the top executives of "Times Style" invited the stars and celebrities present to come on stage for a group photo, Feng Nan didn't know how she stood up. She only knew that she must look ugly in the photo, but she couldn't care less at the moment.
Before the banquet ended, the domestic media invited to the event were asked by the organizers to delete the photos of Feng Zhongliang taken in the venue, but they were unwilling to do so and instead stood guard at the gate. When Feng Zhongliang's car came out, it was immediately surrounded by people. (To be continued)
