Chapter 402: Powerless
The man's fists tightened and he was forced to sit down. He pressed his hat to cover his attractive eyes and his delicate face.
"I announce that the auction will begin now!"
There was a "pop" sound and the mallet struck.
"The first item to be auctioned is priceless blue and white porcelain. Please see the big screen for details."
He introduced the historical background of blue and white porcelain, but when the shooting started, no one took action.
"..." This is so fucking embarrassing!
The man coughed, but no one took pictures.
"Then let's take a look at the second item, which is the teacup used by Empress Dowager Cixi."
After introducing this tea cup, no one took pictures.
The scene was awkward and silent for a while.
Then the third and fourth items were introduced.
No one raised their hands or spoke.
This may be the worst auction he has hosted.
Are these people here to watch the fun? No one took pictures.
"The last one is Yu Xi, who was once popular all over the country."
Ye Xi watched the necklace being brought to the auction table, her hands slightly curled up.
This was her brother's hard work, but it was taken away and now it is being auctioned.
"The starting price is 10,000 yuan, start now."
The hammer fell, and everyone started to increase prices.
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty to fifty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
……
Hearing their increase of five thousand and five thousand, Ye Xi felt particularly ironic.
Ana Shen raised his sign, "Fifty thousand."
Everyone's eyes turned to him, and Yu Xi's price was suddenly raised.
The man was startled slightly, and he smiled.
The woman next to her put on a mask and held up a sign, "One million."
Ye Xi turned around and looked in that direction. Someone would actually pay a higher price for this necklace?
The woman was wearing a mask, and the man next to her kept his head lowered, so Ye Xi couldn't see their faces clearly.
But it felt familiar to her.
"One million times! One million taels..."
"Two million." Ana Shen continued to raise the price.
"Two million and one million." A certain merchant mustered up the courage to shout out this number.
Then the second person raised the price: "Two million and a half million!"
"Two million and sixty thousand."
……
Both Ana Shen and the man were silent, leaving only the others raising their prices.
The whole scene started to boil.
This is what they want. Even though 'Yu Xi' has disappeared for three years, it is still the king!
The price has been raised to 10 million.
Ana Shen's legs were stacked casually, and he was supporting his chin with one hand. The black suit made him look colder, and he had an indelible domineering aura of a king.
Ye Xi didn't know what Shen Yan's purpose was in bringing her here, but seeing 'Yu Xi' being auctioned like this made her feel a little uncomfortable.
His hand gently rested on the back of her hand, giving her infinite comfort.
He picked up his sign and glanced at the man.
Just as the woman was about to speak, the man hummed lightly.
Ana Shen raised the sign, "Twenty million."
"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, two thousand..."
"Twenty-five million." The woman raised her sign again, showing a confident smile.
Ye Xi looked at her. Could it be that her brother's necklace was going to fall into someone else's hands again...
Twenty-five million, this price is indeed very high compared to the starting price of ten thousand. It may give 'Yu Xi' and Dazzling some dignity back.
But so what? Watching it appear, there is nothing I can do about it. (End of chapter)
