Flash Marriage: The Prince's Contract Wife Novel - Chapter 181
Chapter 181: Her intuition
Zheng Zeyi could not hide the smile in his eyes when he heard that.
He coughed lightly and said,””Then I’ll have to trouble you to thank President Qiao for me. I’ll accept the gift first.”
Seeing this, Millie couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. She then dismissed her previous thoughts.
She must have sensed wrongly just now. This President Zheng was quite easy to get along with. He was just a little cold when he first came in.
“Enjoy your meal, President Zheng. I’ll be going back first.”
After saying their goodbyes, Miley turned around and left the room, leaving assistant li and Zheng Zeyi to look at each other.
Assistant li laughed in embarrassment and pointed to the tray on the table.””President, President Qiao sent this over.”
Zheng Zeyi did not say a word, then he suddenly said,””Do you want it?”
Upon hearing this, assistant li couldn’t even imagine what he had heard. For a moment, he was quite touched.
The president … Was actually asking him if he wanted it!
Just as assistant li was about to say that she could try it, she looked up and met his deep eyes.
His eyes seemed to be saying,”do you dare to try?”
Assistant li immediately lowered his head and said in a higher voice,””No, President. I don’t like to eat these things.”
“Well, that’s good.”
Zheng Zeyi was quite satisfied. He picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. It was indeed sweet but not greasy, and the taste was excellent.
From the looks of it, Joes had indeed put in a lot of effort.
At the thought of this, Zheng Zeyi could not help but speak softly, his gaze even gentler.
If he had known that Chen zuolin in the other room had also received these things, he might not have been so happy.
Chen zuolin’s reaction was much better than Zheng Zeyi ‘s.
Even though she was happy, she still had a cold expression on her face. Only when she mentioned Joes would she soften a little.
Millie couldn’t help but smile after seeing their reactions.
It seemed like … She was a little interested in President Qiao.
However, she didn’t mention this matter when she returned to her seat, pretending that she didn’t know anything.
It was to prevent Jossi from not being able to continue the conversation.
Joes did not know what Millie was thinking about as well. She was completely focused on the auction.
At this moment, seven items had already been auctioned off, and the total price had exceeded ten million.
This was the eighth item.
The smile on Yan Ling’s face deepened. At her signal, the staff member lifted up another glass box.
The items this time were slightly different from the previous ones.
Most of the items in the auction were jewelry. However, Hengyuan investment had also prepared some other precious items in order to better mobilize and the atmosphere.
For example, in the glass box now, there was a porcelain bottle carved with blue and white flowers.
It looked extremely exquisite on the outside, with green and white alternating between each other. The colors reflected each other and were extremely pleasing to the eye.
After the vase was placed on the stage, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Many people’s eyes were burning with desire.
Many people had made up their minds, their eyes determined to win.
Seeing this, Yan Ling was even more satisfied and said,””Dear guests, this item is a porcelain bottle from the Ming Dynasty.
The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the blue and white porcelain carvings were perfect. Even at that time, it was a rare porcelain vase, let alone now. ”
What she said was also correct. The value of these antiques would only rise, not fall.
After that, seeing that he was almost done speaking, Yan Ling struck the hammer and said,””The starting price of this porcelain bottle is three million!”
Three million!
This was the item with the highest starting price among all the items currently up for auction.
Of course, this blue and white porcelain bottle was definitely worth the price. Most of the people present could see it.
This kind of treasure was hard to come by, and if he missed it, it was uncertain if he would come across it again.
Although two million wasn’t a small amount, those who could come to the auction house were all people with status and power.
This number was within their scope.
As soon as Yan Ling shouted the starting price, the atmosphere in the hall immediately heated up, and many people followed suit.
“Two million one hundred thousand!”
“I bid 2.6 million!”
“I … 2.8 million!”
………
The price was rising at an extremely fast rate, and the voices of people calling out prices kept on ringing out.
It could be seen that most of the guests in the hall liked this porcelain bottle very much. Otherwise, there would not be such a reaction.
At this moment, Jiang Hai’s eyes were darting around the porcelain bottle. He was ready to bid.
He had also bid for a necklace before and had spent about 700000 to 800000 Yuan, which was not a lot.
Since Joes had specially invited him, she must have invited him over to fleece her.
Joesse did not expect Jianghai to be so smart. She sighed. If she had known, she would have sent someone to help her at the auction.
“Three million five hundred thousand!” Jiang hai raised the number plate in his hand.
However, as soon as he made his bid, the price was immediately pushed down by the others, because the value of this porcelain bottle was far more than 3.5 million.
Seeing this, Jiang Hai’s expression turned ugly. However, he had no other choice. If he wanted to get this bottle, he had to offer a high price.
At this time, there was no movement in the two private rooms above. The two CEOs of big companies were not in the mood to compete for anything.
Seeing this, Miley felt relieved, even though she did not know how Jiang hai had offended her boss last time.
However, this man had a wretched appearance and one could tell that he was not a good person at first glance.
“President, he has bid five million, but I don’t think it’ll stop. This porcelain bottle should be at least eight million.”
Millie’s eyes curved, but her guess was still very accurate.
Joes nodded slightly and rubbed her chin with her fingers. She said,””That’s right, but it should be a premium.
This kind of thing is hard to come by, and everyone here is a high-end person in the upper class. To be honest … They don’t lack money, and they just want to keep it. ”
This was her intuition, and the current development had always been within her expectations.
Millie blinked her eyes and said with a smile,””President, it seems like you’re right.”
The bidding for the blue and white porcelain vase was the fiercest among all the items that had been auctioned.
There were more than 20 people bidding, but they still didn’t stop.
Jiang Hai’s voice was drowned out.
“I bid 8.5 million!” A man raised the number plate in his hand and said with determination.
80,000 and 500000 was almost the value of the porcelain bottle, but it did not stop.
Another person also raised his number plate.”I bid 8.8 million!”
“Whoosh!”
The crowd was in an uproar. Many people had already placed their bids and were now watching the show.
