"Mr. No. 8 bid 2 million, is there any more?"

The staff on stage were the first to react. He didn't know what the Gods of Wealth were thinking. He only knew that the higher the price, the higher his commission.

"What should I do? Do you want to increase the price?" Qiao Shiyun asked Yu Bizhou softly.

Yu Bizhou didn't respond to her, and he probably didn't know how to answer, so he laughed dryly and said to Li Yueze: "I didn't expect you, Mr. Li, to like this necklace too."

But after speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something again, "Are you going to give a girlfriend?"

Li Yueze smiled without saying a word.

"2 million for the first time, 2 million, is there any more?" The staff is a fanatic. Seeing that Li Yueze raised the card early, he was not willing to drop the hammer.

When he came up, Jian Qiusheng specially greeted him, asking him to pay more attention to No. 8 Li Yueze, who was his important guest tonight, the Red Sandalwood Palace, and he was none other than him.

Now only a cold appetizer was served, and the other party readily took the bait.

Happy to hear.

Schumann felt uneasy. Their business is very clean. In recent years, there has been a strong resistance to plagiarism and counterfeiting in the industry. She herself does not want to lose her reputation for the millions in front of her, and she may even be charged with fraud. .

So he leaned over and said to Li Yueze: "Mr. Li, this lot is my work."

The man did not return her.

Schumann continued: "It's a defective product, not worthy of my husband's favor."

Only then did Li Yueze move, and looked sideways at her.

The light refracted by the crystal chandelier above her head fell on the top of her black hair, and her graceful figure was outlined along the long hair, which was vaguely real. It was a typical southern woman's appearance, all sides were small and delicate, when talking to him, her curled eyelashes were like a small fan blowing the wind in his ears.

Reason pulled him back in time, and he said, "Miss Shu is modest."

Looking at each other, Schuman concentrated his mind undefended, and bumped into the man's eyes as deep as a deep pool. For a while, the deer bumped wildly, and hurriedly turned his head away, then got up and walked towards the workshop to find Chen Wei.

No, she can't sit still.

However, after looking around, I couldn't find anyone. Instead, I ran into the irascible editor-in-chief head-on.

Zhu Lei was nearly forty years old, but his eyes looked like he was already entering old age.

When he saw Schumanning, he was shocked and said, "Aren't you that star, the first love of the nation, Su He?"

Schumanning doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry and doesn't know a few celebrities, so she frowned and said, "I'm Schumanning."

Seeing that the expression on Zhu Lei's face changed from surprise to disappointment and then to scrutiny, "I remembered, you are Chen Wei's jewelry designer friend, right?"

Schumann crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows lightly, and motioned him to look at the auction stage, "Do you know that string of Paraiba tourmalines on the stage is not?"

Zhu Lei also looked in the direction of her eyes, puzzled: "I don't know." After speaking, he felt something was wrong, and suddenly became a little impatient, "Don't talk nonsense, it is a rare treasure, and its color and texture are all first-class."

"I picked it up in Brazil."

"Ah?" Zhu Lei was shocked, but not pleased.

But after a while, it returned to normal, "It's okay, as long as it can fetch a high price, it doesn't matter if it's true or not."

Schumann was silent for a while.

Zhu Lei next to him was still rambling, "Don't worry about this matter, those who come here today have been greeted in advance and will be fine."

Schumann squinted at him, and at this moment, there was the sound of a hammer falling in his ear.

Everyone looked at the final winner.

Li Yueze.

No one raised the price, and he bought a fake Paraiba tourmaline necklace for 2 million.

Jian Qiusheng appeared on the stage as if on the spur of the moment. When the last red sandalwood palace was auctioned, he quietly appeared.

"The miniature small-leaf red sandalwood palace in the Ming Dynasty, the starting price is 8 million."

"9 million."

"Add 500,000."

After a short pause, everyone looked at Li Yueze on the right again.

The man was calm, and the bid card in his hand never appeared again except after the Paraiba tourmaline necklace was raised.

The atmosphere gradually solidified, like a deadlock, waiting for someone to break the formation ahead of time.

Yu Bizhou observed for a long time, and more than 10 million yuan took this small-leaf red sandalwood palace, which was almost in his psychological price, but if it was Li Yueze, he felt that he could raise it further.

It happened that Li Yueze's assistant was talking to him at this time. Yu Bizhou remembered that the assistant seemed to have gone out to make a call just now, and now he reported to Li Yueze as soon as he came back. It must be something about work.

After the assistant finished speaking, Li Yueze still maintained his original posture with a calm expression.

"Mr. Li." Yu Bizhou leaned sideways and approached Li Yueze, "I think the price is about the same. If Mr. Li really likes it, it's time to make a move."

Hearing this, Li Yueze sneered, "I don't like it."

"What?" Yu Bizhou thought he had heard wrong.

After waiting all night for the big dish, everyone focused their attention on him, expecting him to get it at a high price, but he said he didn't like it

It's quite intended to play tricks on everyone.

Of course, due to his identity, Yu Bizhou only dared to keep these words in his heart. After being surprised for a moment, he fell silent. Seeing Li Yueze stand up, he didn't understand what he meant until the man turned and left the church.

Here, the moment seems to become empty.

Without the main character, the red sandalwood palace on the stage seemed to be overshadowed.

Schumann leaned back against the corner of the wall, with his hands folded in front of his chest, with the appearance of "I'm upset, wait for me to vent my anger".

Chen Wei next to her knew she was wrong, and pulled her arm to coax her, "Ding Ning~ Ding Ning Ning Ning, please forgive me this time, I forgot to explain to them that it is not a Paraiba tourmaline."

"So you told them it was a Paraiba tourmaline?"

Not explaining no and not saying yes have two meanings.

Chen Wei raised three fingers to make an oath, "The world is a lesson, I didn't mention Paraiba tourmaline at all. I don't know who named it privately, it's too messy!" Chen Wei said while peeking at Schumann's face , I'm afraid she won't believe it.

Schumann believed this. She and Chen Wei had known each other for so long. Although it was the first time they met at work, she would not lie to her just because of this.

Schumann puffed up his cheeks when he was angry, like a hamster hiding food, Chen Wei couldn't help poking it with his fingers.

"Ningning, don't be angry with me. I'll tell our editor-in-chief when the auction is over, and I promise it won't affect you, and Mr. Li—" Before Chen Wei could finish speaking, Schumaning heard the news from behind. There was the sound of pumps on the steps.

Hearing the sound and looking at it, I was caught off guard and looked at him again.

Schuman maintained the last decency of the Shanghai-style cheongsam ladies, with a faint smile on her face. Seeing Li Yueze walking towards her, she nodded slightly to signal him.

The look of being able to play tricks just now when she was given a stage was gone.

Li Yueze stopped in front of her.

"My secretary will sign the contract with you tomorrow."

Schumann was a little surprised. According to the original agreement, half of the proceeds from the auctioned works would be returned to the author, and half would be donated to charity.

This is a matter between her and the organizer, and the buyer can only be regarded as a third party.

She raised her eyes and looked at him, in the night, she couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly.

Schumann still wanted to ask why, but she saw a middle-aged man in the church chasing him out.

This time it was not Zhu Lei, but Jian Qiusheng.

He is Chen Wei's leader anyway, Chen Wei saw him running this way, probably looking for Li Yueze, and quickly pulled Schumann to the side.

Although Zhu Lei usually has a bad temper and likes to scold people, she is more afraid of Jian Qiusheng's smiling face than him, and always feels that his smile is fake every time.

"President Li." Jian Qiusheng only slowed down when he was close to him, from haste to slowness.

Li Yueze didn't turn around when he heard the words, but his eyes could not help but follow Schumann's retreating movement.

Jian Qiusheng could only stand behind him and talk to him.

"The auction is not over yet, why did Mr. Li leave?"

Although the outdoor light is dim at the moment, it can still be seen that Li Yueze's face is not very good-looking.

"Mr. Jane doesn't know?" Li Yueze asked back.

Jian Qiusheng lowered his eyes. He calculated everything very well, and he didn't know what went wrong. Li Yueze still showed sincerity when he clearly photographed the necklace.

Thinking about it, he laughed loudly, "I'm really not sure, I thought Li would always like this lot, but I didn't expect to leave after only taking a tourmaline necklace, which surprised me a bit."

In the words, the smell of fire and medicine is full.

Schumaning couldn't figure out the transactions of these rich people, but when she mentioned the tourmaline necklace, she immediately cheered up.

The arm holding Chen Wei couldn't help but tighten, Chen Wei was in pain, and said in her heart: I was wrong, I was wrong sister, don't pinch it.

Li Yueze was not in a hurry to respond to Jian Qiusheng's surprise. He caught a glimpse of the two people's movements in the dark from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Jian's sincerity also surprised me." Li Yueze deliberately paused for half a second, put his pockets in his pocket and turned half sideways, "You How confident are you that you can fool me with a fake?"

Counterfeit

Schumaning and Chen Wei turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.

"Mr. Li misunderstood." Jian Qiusheng is very experienced. Now that he has been exposed, he simply stopped pretending and continued with a dry smile: "There is just one thing that I don't understand. I want to ask Mr. Li to enlighten me. Since you know Mr. Li, why How about taking pictures of the tourmaline necklace?"

It goes without saying that the act of deliberately inflating the value of this ordinary necklace named Paraiba tourmaline came from Jian Qiusheng. There are a total of 7 items in the auction today. In order to ensure that Li Yueze took the bait, he selected each item more or less according to Li Yueze's preferences, except this lady's necklace, which was not in the plan. .

But he is very puzzled now, why Li Yueze took this necklace, or rather.

Only this one.

Unfortunately, no one told him the answer.

The Bentley parked steadily at the door of the church, and the assistant opened the back door for Li Yueze and respectfully invited him to get in the car.

The car door closed immediately, and the assistant sat in the co-pilot and glanced at Li Yueze in the rear seat from the rearview mirror.

"Boss, we have arranged for someone to deliver the real red sandalwood palace to Professor Bai."

Li Yueze hummed lightly, resting his chin with one hand, and staring out the car window. The woman in a cheongsam walked towards the landscape fountain with a light gait. She bent down and poured water on her wrist.

The assistant on the co-pilot noticed Li Yueze's actions, and was a little confused about the boss's mind. He hadn't been working for long, and it wasn't his turn to come over tonight, but it happened that the boss's secretary had something to do, so he was dispatched temporarily.

After watching for a long time, the assistant thought that the boss might be interested in the lady outside. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Boss, do you want me to investigate the information of that lady?"

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned a few degrees colder.

Li Yueze: "I am a black society."
