The auction was about to begin. Yu Rongshi held the booklet in his hand and glanced at Bo Jiang who was sitting opposite him, seeming to be thinking about something.
Now, he has met Yi Wan's three teammates: Ding Biehan who was chasing ghosts on the cliff, An Yelin who was chased by the young master who had suddenly awakened in the An family, and Chi Jixia who had to rely on sleep to get into the role in the theater.
Only I fully understand what Bo Jiang's abilities are.
Bo Jiang suddenly had a strong learning ability since he was 14 years old. His grades and conversation skills improved by leaps and bounds... Yu Rongshi searched for Bo Jiang through Baidu and found a piece of news about Bo Jiang in college among a lot of press releases.
The peony painting he drew was highly praised by the professor and was displayed in the college's exhibition hall. The news did not show the image of the peony. The professor was a famous professor for his uprightness and high moral character. The general level was not worthy of his attention.
Bo Jiang rarely paints on weekdays. This painting was made for Professor Xu to celebrate his birthday.
Yu Rongshi had a guess. He tapped the auction book with his fingers and smiled.
"Okay, let's take a picture." said the man.
Yu Rongshi closed the booklet and waited for the auction to begin with Yi Wan. The lights dimmed and the auction was about to begin. Yu Rongshi looked at the back of the male protagonist Bo Jiang in this "film set", but found that Yi Wan was not looking at Bo Jiang.
is looking at another person.
Qin Xuexin.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Yi Wan suddenly said.
Bo Xin sat in his own seat and looked in the direction of Bo Jiang. Bo Jiang's back was straight, and his posture was still as superior as ever.
Dignity and alienation.
Bo Xin didn't understand how Bo Jiang, a son of a humble family, had become what he is now in just a few years. But he knew that he couldn't suppress his thoughts.
He pressed me down, turning me back into the gloomy and lonely son of a branch family from years ago. Only then would I kneel at my feet, calling me the head of the family, and begging for mercy from me like a true brother...
He stared at Bo Jiang's back, as if there was a magnet in his heart that made him look away. Until the woman's sweet voice came: "Can I sit here?"
"Please sit down." Then he smiled.
Qin Xuexin sat beside him. She looked radiant in her wine-red dress. The seat next to Yu Rongshi was already full, so she took the second seat and sat next to Bo Xin. Qin Xuexin knew that Bo Xin was of high status and that the Bo family even had an official background. She spoke wittily and soon made her opponent very happy.
This charity auction was held for the out-of-school children in the southwest, and all the proceeds would be donated by the Bo family to local children. Qin Xue had made up her mind to make a name for herself through this event, and she had already bought the Internet trolls, hot searches, and press releases. Now, all she had to do was bid for something to show her generosity and kindness.
Qin Xuexin's annual expenses are huge. In addition to supporting a team by herself, she also has a brother who is like a bottomless pit. Qin Xing is not very talented, but she has great dreams. As a sister, Qin Xuexin is the pride of her family, so her family always says, "You have so much resources and money, why don't you help your brother?"
In the eyes of her family, no matter how good Qin Xuexin is, she is just a daughter who will get married sooner or later. Qin Xing is the son who can carry on the family line. Qin Xuexin has known this since she was a child, but she can't get rid of it. The only thing she has learned is that she has to fight for what she wants by herself, and she has no one to rely on.
After entering the entertainment industry, she did everything she could to get ahead. Qin Xuexin never admitted her badness. It didn't matter to her whether others hated her or disliked her.
As long as the money is in hand, it's good.
Qin Xuexin finally picked a vase from the brochure. The starting price of the vase was 400,000 yuan, and Qin Xuexin estimated that the final price would be within 800,000 yuan, which was a price she could afford. She turned around and wanted to talk to Bo Xin, but her cell phone rang.
She went out and found a quiet place to answer the phone. Qin Xing's voice came from the other end of the phone, very anxiously: "Sister, I saw on Weibo that you went to the charity dinner today?"
"Why did you call at this time..."
"I saw Director Lin also came to the dinner. Sister, did you say before that the talent show is over and you would help me get a supporting actor role in a TV series from me? You can help me talk to me tonight. Sister, it's been a month, why don't you care about my affairs at all? I'm your own brother."
Qin Xing opened his mouth, asking for money or resources. Qin Xuexin lowered her voice and said, "I have contacted them for you before, but the discussion didn't go through..."
Director Lin bluntly said that Qin Xing was not qualified to join the group. If he wanted to join the group, he had to bring money, at least 7 million.
In order to maintain her status as a second-tier actress, Qin Xuexin had a hard time coming up with such a large sum of money. Director Lin told Qin Xuexin that there was another way.
is very interested in Qin Xuexin.
Qin Xuexin knew that she wanted to be famous, but she was not that cheap. She did everything she could to hype herself up and get promoted, even to the point of selling her body.
She couldn't tell Qin Xing about this. But Qin Xing, who was on the phone, was still forgiving. Qin Xue wanted to break up, rush to attend the auction dinner and talk it out, but was distracted by her brother's coquettish voice.
"Sister, you invest in me now, and I will support you in the future."
"Sister, please help me one more time."
"Sister, all my previous talent show opportunities were snatched away by Yi Wan, and my chance to join the Rainbow Group was also snatched away by you. If I continue like this, how can I stand out? Sister, you were also a newcomer, you should feel sorry for your brother."
Everyone is feeling sorry for her, so who will feel sorry for herself
"Sister, Auntie told me that you have to help me!"
—He is your brother, so what if you help him? !
My mother's image appeared in my mind.
"...Okay, I'll find a way for you." Qin Xuexin said.
She wanted to talk to him again, asking Qin Xing to do her best and not waste this opportunity. But he immediately hung up the phone, saying, "Sister is attending a charity auction, muah." His actions were as quick as if his wish had come true and the conversation was over immediately.
Qin Xuexin was the only one left in the cramped corridor. Qin Xuexin gritted her teeth and opened her own private account.
I can still scrape together this much money.
If she transferred out such a large amount of money, there would only be a few small changes left in Qin Xuexin's personal account. She sent a message to Director Lin, and before turning off her phone, she carefully clicked on Weibo and saw comments about her on the hot search of the charity auction.
"Wow, bitch Qin is here to take advantage of the popularity again."
"I hate this Qin Xuexin the most. Even though her acting skills are okay, she is always being hyped up and made to look like the worst actress."
"Qin Xuexin should get out of the entertainment industry as soon as possible. It's annoying to see all this."
Qin Xuexin has always had a big heart, but at this moment she suddenly felt hurt.
Why has she been in the industry for so many years? Is it for these illusory hot searches, or for a little bit of family affection? Will her brother come to her endlessly whenever he wants to be famous
She is Qin Xing's backer, but where is her backer
Qin Xuexin felt that she was extremely vicious and despicable. She was actually worthy of making herself sad about such a thing. This path was clearly chosen by her, but she dared to feel sad. If she told others about it, people would only call her a troublemaker and a bitch. After all, everything was her own fault.
Who would have known that such a young and beautiful girl would be such a person in private
She leaned against the wall and suddenly remembered why she joined the circle in the first place. She was still young at that time and wore a blue denim skirt. Qin Xuexin lowered her head and bit her lip. At this moment...
She saw a tissue.
She looked up and saw Yi Wan's face. Yi Wan's eyes were dark, as if he had just come out of the toilet after washing his hands.
Qin Xuexin was embarrassed to be discovered suddenly, especially by her own enemy. She turned her eyes away and tried to smile: "Why are you here? Are you with Brother Yu?"
"Sister Xuexin, the auction is about to begin. Use a tissue to wipe away your tears, otherwise your makeup will be ruined."
Qin Xuexin was silent.
She tapped her eyes with a tissue, and after a while, as if she had finally endured something, she suddenly threw the tissue away and said viciously, "You saw it all!"
"…?"
"Did you see everything? Did you hear the call between me and my brother?" Qin Xue couldn't tell whether she was frustrated or had gone crazy. She could only blame Yi Wan for showing up when she was most devastated. "Yi Wan, I don't need you to pity me. Don't even think about relying on some recording..."
That’s all she wanted to say.
Another self told her that she should apologize and thank him. But there was a mysterious will that made her pull a disgrace. This will made her only able to be vicious and hype to the end, like a diode, and could only be cut off until the end.
But Yi Wan remained calm. He looked at her with no pity or hatred in his eyes, which made Qin Xuexin's anger go nowhere. Finally, she calmed down and heard the voice of the auctioneer in the hall.
And the sound of the night wind whistling outside the window.
She felt terrible, like a machine without any logic.
A piece of tear-wiping paper was crumpled and thrown to the ground. Yi Wan bent down to pick it up. The back of her neck appeared jade-white in the moonlight, like some kind of emotionless angel.
At least that's what the other person in the corner saw.
"... Sister Xue Xin, let me give you some advice." Yi Wan said, "You should get close to Bo Xin. Your relationship with Bo Jiang is not very good."
Qin Xue was stunned. Yi Wan did not explain this inexplicable thing. She threw the toilet paper into the trash can and saw Yu Rongshi when she turned the corner.
Yu Rongshi might have come out with him, or he might have witnessed everything that happened. There was no relaxed smile on his face, but he was looking at Qin Xuexin in the distance from a corner where no one could see him.
"Did you meet her when you came out to wash your hands?" he said.
"Yes." Yi Wan said, "Master Yu, let's go back."
Yu Rongshi didn't say anything, but looked at the young man in front of him with a probing look. The young man then sat back in his seat. On the other side, Qin Xuexin also returned to the hall.
She didn't look like she had just cried, but sat next to Bo Xin, still the smiling socialite that she is.
The host began to announce the auction format, rules, and the collections that would be auctioned today. The microphone amplified his voice and blocked out the discussion of the people behind him. As the host began to introduce the collections, Yu Rongshi leaned over and put his lips to Yi Wan's ear.
"I thought you would pay more attention to your teammates and your brother." He said, "But you went to find Qin Xuexin. When you talked to her, you didn't look happy."
I didn’t expect Yi Wan’s reply.
"Like when Jiang Bei was disgraced and taken away... I wasn't happy either."
When the last piece of collection was announced, Yi Wan said lightly.
At this moment, it was as if something was peeled off again, revealing the kernel inside. The audience did not see this small corner belonging to Yi Wan and Yu Rongshi, and they were looking forward to the last additional collection.
"This is a calligraphy work by Bo Jiang, a descendant of the branch family of the Bo family."
"The starting price is 50,000?"
"Haha, since it's for donations, let's give the younger generation a chance."
Bo Xin looked at the piece with the lowest starting price in the auction, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. Qin Xuexin, who was sitting next to him, also made up her mind.
After paying for her brother's expenses, she had enough personal property. In this case, if she filmed Bo Jiang's works, she could encourage the younger generation and earn a good reputation.
