The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband
Chapter 287 Effortless
As the four owners of boxes 2 to 5 upstairs made bids one after another, the bidding for the kneeling terracotta warrior became increasingly fierce.
Xu Yiyu in Box No. 6 was quietly watching the performances of the big guys, and still did not pick up the bidding machine on the small mahogany table.
It is a good thing to let them compete first. The higher the price is raised, the higher the bid she can make when she finally makes a move.
Xu Yiyu didn't mind spending several billion on the Terracotta Warriors. To her now, the difference between tens and hundreds of billions of Chinese yuan was not that big.
After all, several items that were purchased would be sent to the Old Palace Museum together. Xu Yiyu was so grateful that he couldn't contain his tears to let the four big guys save him some time in raising the price.
As for the premium factor, it is not an issue she needs to consider at the moment. The only ones who need to weigh this are the people in the four boxes next to her.
Another two minutes later, when Ye Wen raised the bid price to 12 billion, the other family heads fell into silence for a long time, as if they were considering whether to continue the pursuit.
But before they could think it through, Xu Yiyu in Box 6 suddenly made a move without any warning.
"VIP No. 6 bid 18 billion."
On the last day of the auction, although Xu Yiyu's bidding style was still bold and generous, because today was the last day of the auction, in order to prevent any media with connections from taking her words out of context, she was a little more restrained than in the previous days.
It has to be said that Xu Yiyu's worries were not unfounded. At this moment, in a rather inconspicuous corner of the ordinary guest seats on the first floor, a man wearing a black mask and holding a camera in his arms was secretly taking pictures of the electronic screen on the auction table. In order to avoid being discovered, he had carefully turned off the camera's flash.
"So mysterious, who is this number 6? His bids have been so shocking in the past few days, I wonder if he is some newly emerged hidden rich man?"
After the man pressed the shutter again, he muttered to himself at a volume that no one could hear. The person he mentioned was obviously Xu Yiyu, who was sitting in box No. 6.
Seeing Xu Yiyu's bid, Wu Chen entered another string of numbers on the bidder without any hesitation.
When his 20 billion bid appeared on the electronic screen on the first floor, the whispers of ordinary guests downstairs almost turned into noisy public discussions.
Everyone was very curious about what kind of courage the man in Box 6 had that allowed him to stand firm under the gaze of the heads of the four major families in the imperial capital.
"Just to my liking."
Seeing that Wu Chen had raised the price again, Xu Yiyu quickly patted the snack crumbs on his hands and pressed a number on the bidding machine.
"VIP No. 6 bid 25 billion."
When Yan Xuhan read out Xu Yiyu's bid information, there was a slight tremor at the end of her voice that was almost imperceptible to others.
She always brings surprises to everyone. Today's bid can be said to leave a significant mark in the entire history of treasure auctions on Blue Star.
It’s not that people have offered higher bids for land or real estate in the past, but single treasures and antiques have never been priced at this level.
As soon as the price was announced, the man wearing the black mask couldn't wait to raise the camera hidden in his arms and took a lot of photos of the bidding information.
Yu Feng is an entertainment reporter for the Capital Chinese Entertainment News. Before, at the entrance outside the venue, because he arrived at the door early and had a favorable position, he had already photographed many actors and artists who rarely appear in such occasions on weekdays.
He actually noticed Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi, who were dressed very formally today, but he did not think of their identities as VIP guests in Box No. 6 at all.
Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi were relatively unfamiliar faces to the entire imperial capital circle. Yu Feng only took a few full-body photos of them just in case, but he never expected that these two were VIPs invited by the four family heads to attend the auction.
When Zhou Fu in Box No. 2 saw Xu Yiyu's bid of 25 billion, he only considered for a few seconds before raising the price again.
When Zhou Zhiyu saw that his father, who could remain calm even in the face of a catastrophe, was actually acting unnaturally as a price-raiser, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he tactfully did not ask anything.
"28 billion, huh..."
Xu Yiyu did not hesitate. His hand was so fast as he pressed the numbers on the bidding machine that an afterimage was left. Within a few seconds, a bidding information was refreshed on the huge electronic screen.
"VIP No. 6 bid 30 billion."
The other three family heads, except Zhou Fu, had completely given up the idea of competing with Xu Yiyu.
"Isn't the golden scale just a thing in the pond? It transforms into a dragon when the storm happens."
Gu Liang sighed in an unfathomable manner.
"For this young friend Xu, the stage of the imperial capital may still be too small."
Gu Yan beside him also nodded: "Although I have never met her in person, someone with such spirit and courage is destined to be outstanding among the crowd."
"Dad, the funds we prepared for today are mainly for the last five items. If we spend too much on the Terracotta Warriors, when the last five items appear, our Zhou family's performance will probably be inferior to the other three families."
Zhou Zhishan, who had worked in Zhou's company for a long time, was accustomed to thinking about problems from a global perspective. When he noticed that the price of this item had reached a rather terrifying level, he gently advised Zhou Fu in a just right manner.
"Well, Zhishan, you are right."
With Zhou Fu's experience, he had already weighed the question of whether he should continue to bid before Zhou Zhishan opened his mouth. His second daughter's words gave him the most appropriate way out, and he immediately followed Zhou Zhishan's words and put down the bidding device in his hand.
Zhou Zhiyu, who was silent on the side, pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. For a moment, there was a hint of obvious jealousy in her eyes when she looked at her second sister.
My father has always valued his outstanding elder brother and second sister. Although he dotes on me, he has never thought of handing over the future family business to me, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family.
She is self-aware and knows her own abilities. She knows that she is definitely not capable of managing such a large family business, so she has never thought about becoming the head of the Zhou family in the future.
But this did not prevent her from being jealous of her brother and sister. Having been brought up in a pampered manner, she still felt that her father was too partial and that her true value was not shown at all in front of her father.
Although she has been much more obedient in the past two days, it does not mean that she has erased her dissatisfaction with her father.
After the auction is over, she must ask her father for a serious explanation!
