Before the joy on Cao Wanrou's face fully bloomed, she was interrupted by Gu Yian's sudden bidding. After hearing the familiar voice, she turned back to see who was so ignorant, and then she smiled half-heartedly at Gu Yian. gaze.
Seeing Sun Hua sitting in the front row staring closely at Master Rose's painting "Sleep", Cao Wanrou knew that this was her only chance.
After finally finding out that Sun Hua's recently crazy obsession with the mysterious painter Rose's paintings will appear at a domestic auction for the first time, in order to please him and get him to accept him as his disciple, in order to restore his recent negative image, Cao Wanrou He did not hesitate to put down his body to please Huang Miao to get the invitation to the auction.
Moreover, Cao Chuanfeng also made it clear that the funds that can be used this time are about 40 million. Spending a large sum of money to make a desperate move to make Cao Wanrou a disciple of Sun Hua was not only to elevate Cao Wanrou's status in the painting world, but also to make a comeback for the Cao family through this shareholder style.
If this step is taken correctly, it is not impossible to enter the international market in the future. By then, Cao Chuanfeng will completely get rid of the reputation that he developed by sucking the blood of his deceased wife.
So this time is Cao Wanrou's last chance. If she succeeds, she will be transformed into a promising young painter. If she fails, she will be a worthless chess piece in front of her father who only cares about profit.
This is also Cao Chuanfeng's last chance. If he can't catch up with Sun Hua's success and lose the name of Sun Hua's disciple's family business, Cao Chuanfeng's Cao's business is in a serious internal situation. I'm afraid it can only reduce its scale and shrink forever. These 4,000 Wan is all the cash flow that Cao Chuanfeng can mobilize.
When they heard that the deal for 26 million was about to be completed, Cao Wanrou and Cao Chuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway.
When she found out that the owner of the voice was Gu Yi'an, Cao Wanrou was about to yell, but she woke up after Song Nana's reminder. Cao Wanrou couldn't help but become afraid. If she really lost her composure on this occasion, she might really be with Sun Hua's disciples. Identity is gone.
Looking at the frightened Cao Wanrou, thinking about the limited capital flow in his hands, and knowing that he could not let Cao Wanrou rush to the front, Cao Chuanfeng gave Gu Yian a restrained look, and then raised his sign: "31 million."
Gu Yian was not afraid at all: "35 million."
As soon as Gu Yian finished speaking, he saw Cao Chuanfeng turning around suddenly and staring at him fiercely. Then he quickly concealed his expression, not even paying attention to the rules of the auction house, and forcibly interrupted the auction process and said:
"Hahaha, everyone, my little girl is Wu Zang. She ran away from home in a rage with me a while ago. Unexpectedly, she saw her at the auction today and started causing trouble. She probably doesn't even have 1 million in hand, let alone 35 million. Xiao An, don't lose your temper with dad, dad loves you and Xiao Rou equally."
Gu Yian could hear the whispers of other people. Some said that Cao's company was in trouble a while ago, and some people who knew about the real and fake daughter of the Cao family were disdainful of Gu Yian, who grew up in the countryside.
Perhaps after hearing the discussion that was not conducive to Gu Yi'an, Cao Wanrou also suppressed the gloating in her heart and made a sobbing gesture, unable to speak, which vividly showed the helplessness of an adopted daughter. Even Sun Hua couldn't help but move. Kai stared at "Sleep" and handed a tissue to Cao Wanrou, sighing secretly at her rough fate.
Gu Yian took everything in his eyes and was speechless for Sun Hua, a romantic painter who did not eat the fireworks of the world. He could not tell the difference with such a simple performance. If he could get a trace of sympathy from Sun Hua, Cao Wanrou would have more chances to become his disciple. After a while, I'm afraid Cao Wanrou should thank herself for giving her this opportunity.
Facing the different looks from everyone, Gu Yian was just about to ask the conference staff to verify his capital when he heard someone say:
"Logically speaking, Mr. Xu shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, but my daughter and Quanzi have a close relationship with little friend Gu Yi'an. Let me be fair here.
Putting aside the fact that the relationship between Gu Xiaoyou and the Cao family has caused a lot of commotion on the Internet recently, everyone must have heard about it. I think everyone has a weighing scale in their minds about what is right and what is wrong.
Since Miss Gu is raising the price, Xu believes that she can be responsible for him, so today Xu will be the guarantor for Gu Xiaoyou. "
Gu Yian looked at Xu Baoran and Xu Baozhu who were standing behind the uncle and winking at him. A warm current surged through his heart. After nodding to the three of them, he took the initiative to ask the conference staff to verify the capital.
The expression on Cao Chuanfeng's face became stiff when Xu's father opened his mouth. He secretly resented the relationship between Gu Yian and the Xu family. He didn't believe that just because he filmed a variety show with the sons and daughters of the Xu family, he could be invited to marry him. Xu's father, a giant Buddha who usually doesn't care about anything, came to speak for Gu Yian on this occasion.
If Cao Wanrou's jealous look was real, she would probably burn holes in Gu Yian's body if she could. On the contrary, Song Nana's expression didn't change much from the beginning to the end. Gu Yian couldn't help but be more wary. In her past life, Song Nana was the best at hiding a knife behind her smile. She killed someone with a soft knife.
"Director Xu, you have to be careful when guaranteeing. Ling Qianjin and Ling Gongzi Xu were deceived at a young age. There is still some cooperation between our Cao family and Xu family. As partners, I really can't bear your loss of thousands of dollars." Wan, you can’t even hear a sound.”
Cao Chuanfeng said, although the cooperation he mentioned was that his products had counters in Xu's shopping malls, it is estimated that Xu's father had never even heard of such a trivial matter, so he naturally sneered at Cao Chuanfeng's words.
Everyone present heard another meaning from Cao Chuanfeng's words. This was the biological father's doubts and stamped recognition of his daughter's character. Fortunately, most people knew that Gu Yian had not been raised by Cao Chuanfeng's side since she was a child. The credibility of Cao Chuanfeng's words is limited.
But some people think that Cao Chuanfeng has not remarried for many years after losing his wife, which shows that he has a deep affection for his deceased wife and should love his daughter more.
But every time there is such a voice, those matrons who are accustomed to the tricks of wealthy families want to say, those men can say that they respect their wives even if the red flags at home are not falling, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. This Cao Chuanfeng is not married to a wife, but he It's not because of the Yue family, but I don't know what to do privately.
I think of Gu Qingpeng, Cao Chuanfeng's father-in-law, who was also an old business man who started from scratch. Unfortunately, he has been in poor health in recent years. It is said that he went abroad to recuperate and did not even show up to recognize his own granddaughter. It seems that something is really bad, otherwise How could Zhongshan Wolf be allowed to treat his beloved daughter like this?
Gu Yian clearly sensed the emotions of everyone present. There was kindness, compassion, and indifference that had nothing to do with him, but there was surprisingly little malice.
Not wanting to see Cao Chuanfeng's behavior anymore, she thanked the person who spoke for her. Under the anxious and ugly faces of the host and auctioneer, the staff who went to verify Gu Yi'an's assets came with a notary and looked at Gu Yi'an's expression. There was a moment of disbelief, and then it was announced that Gu Yian had passed the capital verification, and attached the auction house's black supreme VIP membership card.
Everyone gasped. Everyone present was rich or wealthy, but even Huang Miao from Wonderful Dairy, who had generously sponsored the auction, did not have such a VIP membership card. Huang Miao felt very complicated. After all, he knew that this membership card was hard-earned, but when he thought about the relationship between Gu Yian and the Xu family, and thought that the Xu family might have helped her, he was relieved.
Perhaps Xu understood everyone's expressions, and Director Xu wanted to explain, but when he saw Gu Yian shook his head slightly, he remained silent.
In his heart, he felt that Gu Yi'an knew how to curb his sharpness at a young age. He was ashamed of his temperament. He could rest assured that his child could make such friends.
The auction process continued. The host touched the cold sweat on his forehead and continued: "Miss Gu just bid 35 million. Is there anyone higher than her?"
Everyone turned their attention to Cao Chuanfeng and Cao Wanrou, who had not very good-looking faces. Cao Chuanfeng, who noticed this, was a bit stuck, pulled his tie and nodded to Cao Wanrou.
Cao Wanrou directly quoted the base price: "40 million." Then she stared nervously at Gu Yi'an's reaction.
Gu Yian looked at Cao Chuanfeng, whose face was already as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Cao Wanrou, whose face turned pale from nervousness, and knew that this should be close to their psychological price. If he raised the price again, the fat fish that took the bait would probably be slipped away.
So he deliberately frowned, bit his lips lightly, and lowered his eyelids seemingly reluctantly.
The auctioneer had never wanted to end the magnetic field auction so much, so he spoke faster, and after confirming repeatedly that no one had offered a higher price, he made the final decision.
"Congratulations to Mr. Cao Chuanfeng, Ms. Cao Wanrou won the first auction of Master Rose's painting "Sleep" in China at a transaction price of 40 million."
Everyone present applauded one after another. Listening to the applause in their ears, the Cao family's father and daughter's hearts were bleeding. They could have won 26 million, but it was all because of that little bitch Gu Yian, which cost them a lot of money. For 14 million, it was really a desperate move this time. Regardless of the proportion of congratulations and ridicule in the applause, the Cao family and his daughter left the venue early because they had something to do next.
Gu Yian recalled the meaningful words that Song Nana left when she passed by him before they left, "Leave a small chance in doing things so that we can meet again in the future." He couldn't help but sneer. Who could have given her Gu Yian's chance of survival in her previous life? What about her?
Thinking of the upcoming increase in the account balance and the further increase in value of Rose's paintings thanks to the Cao family's father and daughter, Gu Yian's inner villain was very happy.
Even Little Chaos, who had been dormant, seemed to feel the master's pleasure, and raised the corners of his mouth. Gu Yian decided to be generous and not care about Song Nana's rudeness just now.
After holding on until the final auction was over, Gu Yian left the venue humming a little tune after greeting the Xu family.
Because there was a high profile in the auction this time, and because of the popularity he had gained from variety shows, although he was not a big celebrity, in order not to meet any crazy fans like Ling Yifeng, Gu Yian used the talisman to suppress his breath. , so that everyone who meets her will subconsciously regard her as a passerby.
