The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Chapter 225: "Sensible" Zhou Zhiyu

A white porcelain statue of a woman with lifelike facial features and clothes stood in front of everyone. Her slightly compassionate eyes did not seem to be looking at anyone in the audience, but seemed to be scanning every face in the audience.

What is different from the previous time in the Junshan Pavilion exhibition hall is that the lighting in the exhibition hall is natural, gentle and soft for fear of damaging the objects.

I don't know what kind of projection technology was used to light the auction table, but although it wasn't glaring, it clearly highlighted every detail of the white porcelain statue of a woman.

Zhou Fu carefully looked at the porcelain sculpture that his third daughter liked, then turned back to look at his third daughter whose eyes were filled with pleading and flattering expressions. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally decided to help his daughter get the statue.

Her vision was pretty good this time. Although this Dehua white porcelain female statue was a work of art, because of its exquisite carving skills, they had estimated in advance that this statue would most likely reach a very considerable auction price.

Unlike the reaction after the previous item was unveiled, there was a noticeable silence for a few seconds after the appearance of this porcelain sculpture, and then everyone fell into crazy discussions.

"The third lot is a masterpiece by Master Hu Ruoshui, a master of Chinese porcelain sculptures. It is a Dehua porcelain sculpture of a lady. The starting price is also 1500 million. Each bid must not be less than 100 million. Please start bidding!"

As a gold medal auctioneer, Yan Xuhan's eyesight is actually no worse than most people in the audience.

She could also tell at a glance that the value of the third lot actually lies mainly in its carving craftsmanship and the final effect it presents, not in its age.

Compared with the men present, female bidders who have a more delicate eye for appreciating objects are expected to be the main force of this auction.

"VIP No. 10 bids 1600 million."

"VIP No. 12 bids 1750 million."

"VIP No. 21 bids 1850 million."

"VIP No. 23 bids 2000 million."

"VIP No. 39 bids 2500 million."

The bidding atmosphere for the white porcelain lady's portrait was not as heated as that for "Sunny Peaks", but many guests' bids were very tight, as if every bidder was competing with his or her competitor. The bidding was restrained at first, but gradually became quite intense.

At this moment, an eye-catching bidding information was refreshed on the huge electronic screen.

"VIP No. 2 bids 5000 million."

When this bid information came out, the sensation it caused was no less than the one when Xu Yiyu bid 1 million yuan just now.

Because almost all the guests present knew that sitting in box No. 2 upstairs was the Zhou family, a family that was famous in the imperial capital and had unfathomable strength.

When Zhou Zhiyu saw his father calmly send the bid amount, his previous dissatisfaction with him was much less.

Dad still loves himself, otherwise he wouldn't offer such a price to shut up those people downstairs.

She moved her chair forward and was about to hug Zhou Fu's arm and act coquettishly, but she noticed that the bidding information on the electronic screen had been refreshed again.

"VIP No. 6 bid 1 billion."

Zhou Zhiyu's half-raised arm suddenly froze in place. She stared at the bid information with bloodshot eyes, and her teeth were almost bitten off.

Who is this person in Box 6?! It’s not enough that he just stole the spotlight during the auction of “Qingfeng Tu”, but now he wants to steal her favorite?!

Compared to Zhou Zhiyu's gnashing of teeth, Zhou Fu's expression was frighteningly calm.

He knew very well who was sitting in box 6.

And judging from the bidding style of Chairman Xu just now, she usually doesn't bid, but once she does, it means she is bound to win.

However, Zhou Fu did not intend to give way to Xu Yiyu. He really wanted to see the financial strength of this young Miss Xu.

"VIP No. 2 bids 1 billion."

As the bidding information on the electronic screen was refreshed, the guests in the ordinary seats downstairs began to whisper to each other again.

There seems to be a quarrel between the two VIP boxes upstairs...it's going to be a good show to watch.

Xu Yiyu in Box No. 6 raised the corner of his lips slightly, glanced at Box No. 2, and slowly pressed the bidder again.

"VIP No. 6 bid 3 billion."

When Zhou Zhiyu saw the bid information, even though she wanted this white porcelain statue of a lady very much, she could sense something was wrong in her heart.

Why do I feel that the guy in Box No. 6... seems to have endless funds, and it seems like he just raised the price to twice as easily as he could.

"Zhi Yu, do you really want this lady portrait?"

Zhou Zhishan asked Zhou Zhiyu in a low and sincere tone, and there was no trace of joking in his eyes when he looked at her.

Although this little sister likes to play a little, she should be aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Although the white porcelain lady statue is exquisite and lifelike, it is ultimately just a modern handicraft. Although the Zhou family has plenty of money, spending more than 3 million on a handicraft with uncontrollable appreciation potential is not very cost-effective.

Zhou Zhiyu seemed to know the purpose of his second sister asking him this question. He bit his lower lip and thought seriously for a few seconds before leaning over and telling Zhou Fu, who was standing diagonally in front of him, his answer.

"Dad, please raise your price again. If Box 6 still offers a high price this time, we will give up the statue and I won't want it."

Zhou Fu glanced at his little daughter, who looked struggling but still put the overall situation first. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and he pressed the bidding device in his hand again.

"VIP No. 2 bids 3 billion."

Xu Yiyu was not surprised when the electronic screen, which had been silent for a long time, displayed this price.

But the guests in the ordinary seats downstairs were still talking about it, and some were even discussing how long the competition for Boxes 2 and 6 upstairs would end.

Lu Sanshi glanced at his baby who looked calm, and watched her slender fingers press a number on the bidding machine that would definitely shock everyone.

"Box No. 6 is offered at 7 million."

Even as a gold medal auctioneer who has been in the industry for a long time, Yan Xuhan was somewhat surprised when he saw the bid of 7 million.

The bidding style of the VIP in Box No. 6 was really similar to that of the arrogant female bidder she had met at the Lucheng Auto Show before.

Could it be... that it really is her?

When Zhou Zhiyu saw that shortly after Zhou Fu made her bid, Box No. 6 offered another high price that shocked the whole audience, she almost bit her lower lip and looked unwilling.

She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths silently, and whispered something in Zhou Fu's ear.

"Thank you, Dad, for fulfilling my wish. Give her the portrait of the lady. I don't want it anymore."

Zhou Zhizhen and Zhou Zhishan both looked at their younger sister with some surprise. They saw that although there was still a hint of unwillingness on her face, she did not pester her father anymore, and an appreciative smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The girl in Box 6 is indeed a good whetstone. Her father will probably be very happy if she can teach her little sister a good lesson.

For the first time ever, Zhou Fu patted Zhou Zhiyu on the shoulder and comforted her.

"Finally you've grown up... It's okay, just give this to her first. If there's anything else you want later, Daddy will take a picture of it for you."

Sensible children will always be rewarded and compensated. This is Zhou Fu's consistent principle of doing things.
