In the hall, the charity auction had already begun.
" Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction item is Gu Ning's oil painting," Snow Cherry on the Mirror Lake ". It's donated by the CEO of the Han Corporation, Mr. Han Shaoyuan. The starting bid is three million yuan, and an additional two hundred thousand yuan will be added for each bid…"
Liu Chuanyun had been sitting beside Han Shaoyuan in the hall. She was upset to see her birthday present being auctioned off, but she still forced a smile on her face.
"3.2 million…"
"3.4 million…"
The auctioneer's voice echoed in the hall.
Han Shaoyuan lit a cigar and smoked it. The light smoke enveloped his body. What happened on the rooftop confused his thoughts. His mind kept replaying that beautiful face in the night, that expression, that tone, as if something had touched his bottomless heart. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and a little scared. Liu Chuanyun glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and found that his face was still expressionless. His heart couldn't help but be pricked.
"Four million going once…"
"Are there any higher bids?"
The auctioneer asked. No one else raised their cards.
"Four million going twice…"
Four million?
Four million?
Liu Chuanyun stared at the painting that was being auctioned---she had spent a lot of effort to buy it from a collector...
It wasn't just a painting. It represented her heart, the heart that had protected Han Shaoyuan for ten years…
Was her heart only worth four million? Her hands gripped the hem of her gown tightly.
Han Shaoyuan looked on coldly…
"I bid 40 million…"
Liu Chuanyun finally raised his card.
"Good-this lady here offers forty million-any higher bids?”
"40 million going once…"
"40 million going twice…"
"40 million going thrice…"
The auctioneer's gavel fell." Sold…"
Han Shaoyuan glanced at Liu Chuanyun. Seeing that her face was red with anger, he sneered.
That cold sneer tugged at Liu Chuanyun's sensitive nerves…
"40 million is far from the value of a heart…"
Liu Chuanyun slowly stood up from her seat. Tears were struggling in her eyes, but in the end, they did not flow down. After saying that, she turned around and left the auction venue under the amazement of the audience.
Han Shaoyuan continued to smoke his cigar, his chiseled face shrouded in smoke.
"Isn't this too much…"
A voice came from behind him.
Han Shaoyuan raised his eyes and was slightly shocked. The person in front of him was his younger brother, Han Yixiu.
He was surprised because his younger brother, Han Yixiu, who was ten years younger than him, should be studying biological cell science in a class at the University of California, not at the auction.
"When did you come back?"
Han Shaoyuan asked.
" You don't have to ask when I came back. Save this bit of concern and go to Japan to see my mother…"
Han Yixiu's tone was filled with deep resentment. As he spoke, he sat down in the empty seat behind Han Shaoyuan and leaned over to whisper into Han Shaoyuan's ear." She's very sick. I received Xiaomei's call and flew back to Japan. She was very happy to see me, but I know she wants to see you more. I came here personally to invite you back to Japan…"
"I won't care about her…"
Han Shaoyuan replied coldly.
Han Yixiu stood up from his seat in anger." I can't believe it. Are you really my brother?" It's fine if you're so cold to Sister Chuanyun, but you can't ignore Mother! Blood is thicker than water. How can you cut off your mother-son relationship just for a woman?!”
When Han Yixiu finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned from anger to shock. His pupils dilated and his expression froze like a stone statue.
" The next item is donated by Ms. Lesley. It's the SKK's flagship jewelry series this year, the Sakurasnow series. Welcome, Ms. Lesley, to bring the donated item up on stage…"
Lesley held the black jewelry box and slowly walked up to the auction stage with a smile. She would feel disgusted if she held the things that Chen Linhao gave her for even a second longer. Moreover, she wanted to show a certain someone who her husband was trying to please with the company's latest product.
" The starting price of this series of jewelry is 3 million. Each raise will add 100,000…"
Su Hanyi, who was standing in the audience, was furious when she saw that Lesley had donated the latest model of LK to the auction. Of course, Han Yixiu was the most shocked.
" She…How could it be her…" Han Yixiu's eyes were fixed on Lesley." Didn't she die ten years ago?" How could-how could he be here?”
"Tell me! What's going on…"
Han Yixiu asked Han Shaoyuan.
"You won't understand…"
Han Yixiu didn't know about Lesley's existence. He didn't understand what had happened in the past ten years, and there was no need for him to explain. Han Shaoyuan's tone was casual. As he spoke, he raised the sign in his hand." I bid 100 million…"
It was still a casual voice, but it attracted another wave of surprise from the audience. A box of jewelry worth millions had actually attracted the CEO of the Han Corporation to bid for it at a high price of hundreds of millions.
Lesley's expression froze when she saw Han Shaoyuan bidding. She didn't know what this nightmarish man was up to.
"I'll add 10 million…"
A moment later, another voice came from the auction venue.
Surprise appeared on Lesley's stiff face again. She recognized the man who had bid again as the man she had met in the monastery cemetery some time ago.
"Doughty, are you crazy?"
Su Hanyi, who was sitting next to Doughty, looked at the raised signboard in disbelief. He had actually bid so high for her design.
"Two hundred million…"
Han Shaoyuan casually raised the sign again.
"Brother, what are you doing?”Han Yixiu was angry, but he could not stop it.
"I'll add another 10 million…"
Doughty smiled and raised his sign again.
"Doughty, you lunatic, do you want to go bankrupt?”Su Hanyi couldn't understand what Doughty was doing. He was the most popular designer, but 210 million was enough to take out all his money. Other than " crazy," she couldn't find any other words to explain his behavior.
" Don't worry, I know that Ke Luo's bidding is not just for show. Even if he goes bankrupt, he will definitely donate money to Mu Hui Foundation. I still want to be a great philanthropist…"
Doughty glanced at Su Hanyi and said half-jokingly with a calm expression.
" I'm just reminding you that you're far from Han Shaoyuan. He has the entire Han Corporation backing him…"
"You don't have to worry about that…"
"300 million…"
Han Shaoyuan raised the sign in his hand again.
The crowd burst into exclamations.
300 million for a box of jewelry!
"Mr. Han Shaoyuan has bid 300 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher? 300 million going once. 300 million going twice, 300 million going thrice-sold…"
The auction mallet fell heavily.
A meaningful smile appeared on Doughty's face. He turned around and whispered into Su Hanyi's ear," Ask Sky to tell the media that Han Shaoyuan, the cold-faced CEO of the Han Corporation, has bid 300 million yuan for the newest jewelry of the year, Sakura.
Snow series…"
Su Hanyi finally understood his intention after hearing his words." So this is your plan…"
" When this news is published in the major entertainment newspapers, business newspapers, and fashion magazines tomorrow, I believe that the sakurasnow series, which hasn't been released yet, will definitely attract the attention of everyone. This will be a powerful promotion that will yield twice the result with half the effort..."
Doughty crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the back of the chair. His black military boots shone under the lights of the auction hall.
"However, how do you know that he will definitely continue to bid? If he doesn't raise his card again, wouldn't Ke Luo go bankrupt?”
"Why is Eldest Miss Su's brain always so muddled?”Doughty proudly shook his feet in the air.
"You…"
Su Hanyi felt a surge of anger in her chest.
"The Han Group is in charge of many world-famous companies, and the members of the Han family are even more unfathomable. With Han Shaoyuan's reputation and financial strength, how could he be willing to lose in a public event like a charity auction? " 300 million is just a drop in the ocean…" Doughty turned to look at Han Shaoyuan, who was sitting in the front row.
Su Hanyi nodded. She knew that this Doughty was not simple. His actions were always unbelievable because he was extremely smart. All along, Dockler had been a talent that LL had tried every means to retain. In order to understand this person better, Su Han sent the Human Resources Department to investigate him, but they didn't know much about his background. She only knew that he grew up in France and had already made a name for himself in the design world when he was a student. After graduating from the famous design school in Paris, he came to China alone. Why did he come to China? What was his purpose in staying here? Who exactly was he? What could he possibly have that would make him stay in LL forever? This series of problems had never been resolved. Today, he had dared to bid hundreds of millions against Han Shaoyuan for jewelry. Once again, it proved that his background was not to be underestimated. Was he really just a designer?‘"The unfathomable ones are not only the Han Family, but also your Dao Ke Luo," Su Hanyi thought to herself.
" Miss Su Hanyi..." While Su Hanyi was deep in thought, Douglas turned to her." I'm bidding with Han Shaoyuan because I'm making the best of my mistakes." I think you should be concerned about sakura, which has yet to be released
Why would the Snow series be in Lesley's hands? You know, only you, me, and the people in the company will take over the samples. You didn't give it to her, and I didn't give it to her. Who else would give it to her…"
