Chapter 275 - Let her shine
She wondered if her design would be honored to carry out the auction.The host laughed, "This time, our starting price is the equivalent of the cost of the design. There is no upper limit, and the highest bidder gets it."
Below the stage, a flash of interest passed through Gong Yexiao's eyes. If Cheng Liyue's works were among them, then it would definitely belong to him.
Just then, the huge screen started to display the ten sets of sculptures that were being auctioned tonight. Cheng Liyue raised her head, excited to the point that she was about to scream.
Below the stage, Huo Yanran's expression immediately changed. How could Cheng Liyue have the luck to be the star of such a grand feast?
Cheng Liyue was secretly happy that her products could be auctioned at the sixth place, if only her bid could be higher, then she would not be so poor.
The first set of works was sold for 3 million USD, and the female designer cried tears of excitement on the spot. It was a good start.
Soon after, the second set of works was brought up on stage. On the huge screen, this pair of jewellery shined brilliantly and caused people to look forward to it. Very quickly, it was sold for over a million dollars.
The sixth painting was placed on top of the glass cabinet. Under the light of the lamp, the lotus flower necklace seemed to reveal a kind of Oriental beauty. It was beautiful and gentle, deeply favored by women.
The starting price was three hundred thousand dollars and it was inlaid with extremely rare diamonds. It was lifelike, dazzling, beautiful, and extremely valuable.
"One million dollars." Immediately, people in the crowd raised their bids.
"One million and five hundred thousand dollars!" another woman called.
"Two million dollars."
The price continued to rise. Cheng Liyue was a little confused, her mind was also tight from the shock.
What moved her even more was the recognition of her design."Three million dollars." A rich woman announced loudly. This necklace was both beautiful and special, and every woman wanted it.
"Three and a half million dollars."
"Five million dollars!" Suddenly, a high price was called out, and a woman in her fifties excitedly offered a high price.
"Oh my god!" This price is way beyond my expectations. This also shows the value of our work, are there any higher bidders? "
On the stage, Huo Yanran was about to go crazy with anger. Cheng Liyue had really taken the spotlight tonight, she thought that no matter what, the people in her company could not lose to Cheng Liyue. She had to raise the price of her company's work.
"Ten million dollars." Suddenly, a man in the third row raised his sign and spoke in a lazy and charming manner.
Cheng Liyue was so excited about the five million dollars that her heartbeat increased even further. The sudden voice caused her to be stunned, why would Gong Yexiao want to join in the fun?10 million dollars worth of jewelry. In an instant, the entire hall was silent. Even though the jewelry was tempting, it was still beyond their tolerance. It would only cost them 300 thousand dollars.
"This gentleman offered ten million dollars, didn't he? Is there any higher price than 10 million? If not, then let's do it at this price. " The hosts all looked at Cheng Liyue enviously, feeling that she was too lucky.Cheng Liyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Was Gong Yexiao sure he had to pay her so much?
She couldn't help but look at Huo Yanran and find her staring at her with a cold expression.
Cheng Liyue quickly shifted her gaze. At this time, the bidding continued, the next item on the list was Huo Yanran and co. and she had bid 5 million US Dollars for it. However, compared to Gong Yexiao's 10 million, she was not as generous.Gong Yexiao lazily sat on his seat. Actually he had directly thought of fifty million dollars, but he was afraid that this woman would be angry if she didn't accept it. He had only bid ten million, so it should be a bit more practical.
So he could give her $9.7 million for this reason.
Let's see if she still accepts it.Cheng Liyue stood on the stage with a complicated feeling in her heart, while the others were all excited. Only she, with a bitter face, felt that Gong Yexiao had come to cause trouble, and if he did not bid, wouldn't it be better to let others buy it? Why did he offer such a high price?
Although this banquet gave him a chance to pay, in Cheng Liyue's heart, she absolutely did not want to take Gong Yexiao's money.
What's more, this kind of astronomical figure of 9.7 million was enough for her to use for a lifetime.
Off the stage, Gong Yexiao was invited to the backstage to draw a cheque. Only when Cheng Liyue returned to his seat did he gracefully sit back down.
"You're crazy!" This was Cheng Liyue's first sentence.
Gong Yexiao turned and looked at her, "I'm not crazy."
"You're not crazy, what price are you offering!?" Who are you bidding on? "
"I am also one of the guests and have the right to bid." Gong Yexiao laughed."You …" Cheng Liyue was unable to refute her, but in her heart, she felt like she was about to collapse.
"In a week, you'll be able to receive my money. Happy?"
"Happy my ass." Cheng Liyue puffed his cheeks with unhappiness.
Gong Yexiao's handsome face turned ugly.
The awards ceremony ended at seven o'clock tonight. There was a punctual dinner held in the auditorium of an international hotel.When Cheng Liyue came out, it was already four in the afternoon. From time to time, she would receive greetings from the side with a smile on her face as well as her blessings.
It was all thanks to this man that she was able to gain so much fame.At this time, two wealthy women caught up to her, "Miss Cheng, may I have your contact number? We like your design very much and would like to ask you to design a set of jewelry for us in the future. "
Cheng Liyue immediately nodded, "I can." After saying that, she wrote down her number. At the same time, she did not forget to write down the name of the company.
The two rich women also saw Gong Yexiao and exclaimed secretly. They did not expect that her boyfriend was such a handsome and tall Oriental man. He quickly got his contact information and happily left.Huo Yanran followed behind him, she looked at Cheng Liyue who had instantly become a famous person with flames of hatred, and a face full of unwillingness.
"Yanran, who is she to Gong Yexiao? They seem very close. " Tony, her man, asked curiously.
"Regardless of who she is, to the Gong Family, she is nothing." Huo Yanran gritted her teeth.
Beside her, Tony finally understood why Huo Yanran wanted to enter the domestic jewelry design market. Was it to deal with this girl?
Looking ahead, Gong Yexiao held Cheng Liyue's hand, and left as if they were a lover.
Just now, he even offered a high price to buy her work for this girl. One must know that this wasn't a gift, but a money directly given to this girl.
