Chapter 1464: The Show Begins

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon, it was Lu Tianqing’s turn to have her item auctioned.

She offered one of her handwritten piano scores. It showed both her talent and her taste. She stood out from the crowd.

Although her background was previously criticized, her current status was still extraordinary. On the one hand, she was the daughter of the big shot Jin Mingchang, and on the other hand, she was the wife of a member of He Consortium. Everyone naturally had to treat her with respect.

Jin Mingchang and He Yuan protected her well enough. Her piano score was auctioned off for 30 million yuan!

After He Yuan gave this price, Jin Mingchang did not bid anymore. He Yuan successfully obtained the piano score and walked elegantly toward Lu Tianqing. He gently handed the item over with both hands!

!!
The applause was thunderous and did not stop for a long time.

“As expected of the daughter of a famous family. She’s really extraordinary.”

“This is probably the highest price tonight, right? It’s equivalent to He Yuan donating 30 million for Lu Tianqing!”

“Indeed! But don’t forget, there’s another highlight!”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Su Bei.

“I wonder how much Mr. Lu will donate for Su Bei?”

“I’m guessing it’ll be more than Lu Tianqing!”

“Stop guessing blindly. Don’t you see Feng Ze’s attitude toward Su Bei? But Mr. Lu doesn’t even care about this matter. He might not waste much on Su Bei!”

“Don’t forget that Su Bei’s management company will definitely donate a high price for her even if it’s just for her status! Just you wait!”

Lu Tianqing had a charming smile on her face. When she heard these discussions, she was even happier.

He Yuan sat down beside her and gave her a kiss. He gave her enough face and attracted enough attention and cameras!

“This is true love! The members of He Consortium are probably not as free as the people from Lu Corporation, right? But they personally came with their partners!”

“Tsk, tsk. That’s right. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen Lu Heting publicly accompany Su Bei to any event. Only when they publicly announced their marriage did they appear together.”

“It seems… they’re just in a contractual marriage and having fun!”

At this moment, Su Bei was sending a WeChat message to Lu Heting. [You don’t have to help me get it. I’ll settle it myself. Charity events don’t only happen once, and we don’t necessarily have to donate under the noses of others.]

[Alright.] Lu Heting agreed.

She also told Qiao Mei: [I don’t need the company to step in for me. I’ll handle it myself.]

Qiao Mei had always known she was full of ideas and agreed.

Su Bei asked Xu Huiru to help her bid for her item with Xiao Bai. When the time came, the two just had to name suitable prices and Su Bei would be the one who paid for it in the end.

“What’s being auctioned now is Su Bei’s item, a small painting,” the auctioneer said from the stage.

The painting he produced was a very small one, and there was nothing special about it.

Su Bei immediately asked Xiao Bai on WeChat: [How did you get this?]

[Huh? Did I take the wrong thing?] Xiao Bai was surprised. [Do you want me to get it back?]

[Forget it, it’s too late. Let’s just go along with it!]

What she wanted to auction was a copy of her work, while this was a gift from Gun Gun.

However, since the works were going to be auctioned off anyway, it didn’t matter which one it was.

“The starting bid is 10,000. The minimum for each increase is 1,000. Everyone can start bidding now!” the auctioneer shouted.

Xu Huiru immediately called out, “11,000!”

There was a little ripple of laughter because the increase was too insignificant.

Previously, not to mention Lu Tianqing, even the bids for other small celebrities saw an increment of tens of thousands each time.

Xiao Bai then called out a bigger number. “20,000.”

“30,000.” Xu Huiru followed up.

However, the laughter did not stop. Clearly, they felt that this price did not match Su Bei’s current status. Was this how the Lu family treated her?

At the side, two inconspicuous people looked at the painting on the stage and adjusted their glasses. They were a little surprised by the spiritual energy in the painting. This painting was definitely extremely valuable!

If it was auctioned off, the value would definitely appreciate in the future!

Most of the artistes’ items were bought by the people around them and returned to the artistes as they were all personal items. Outsiders usually wouldn’t think of bidding for personal items.

However, if the items being auctioned were paintings, discs, and some props used for filming, outsiders might want to join the bid. It would not be a problem if the price was right. After all, everyone was doing this for charity.

Xu Huiru and Xiao Bai were still raising the price by 10,000 yuan each time. They planned to stop after raising it to 200,000 yuan.

The audience was filled with scattered laughter.

The man with the glasses suddenly raised his hand. “300,000!”

This price raised the slightly dull atmosphere.

Could it be that the Lu family had finally given Su Bei face?

Su Bei turned around. She couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, but she knew he wasn’t one of them.

‘If he’s not one of us, why is he causing trouble?’

This was something that Gun Gun had given to her! When Su Bei did charity work, she would never be stingy with it. However, she definitely could not give anything that Gun Gun and Da Bao had given her to outsiders, no matter how much money they gave her!

Xiao Bai sent her a WeChat message for instructions. [Su Bei, should Huiru and I still continue bidding for you? What’s a suitable amount?]

Su Bei replied: [You guys don’t have to continue.]

She placed the sweets and phone in Feng Ze’s hand and raised the bidding placard herself. “500,000!”

As soon as she raised her hand, the audience was stunned for a moment before they started discussing. No matter the price of the other artistes’ items, the artistes themselves would stay out of it. Although many people paid for the cost themselves, no one had ever bid for their own item.

Su Bei’s action was really shocking.

“So, Su Bei is planning to raise the price herself?”

“What… is going on? Is Su Bei so worried that her item won’t be able to fetch a high price?”

“It’s showtime! Too bad there’s no popcorn or Coke for sale!”

The man with the glasses was very optimistic about the future of the painting. He didn’t give in at all. “A million!”

Su Bei was angry. Who was he? Was he deliberately causing trouble for her? That painting was worth a lot of money to her because it was a treasure, but what was it worth to outsiders?

Beside her, Feng Ze, who had been propping his forehead up with one hand, showed little interest in the scene until the woman beside him unconsciously placed the sweets and phone in his hand.

His body jerked, his mind and body surging. The sweets felt warm on his palm.
