the host was really confused and didn’t know how to introduce it, even though the calligraphy looked really well-written and seemed to be written by a famous author.
however, the problem was that no matter how good the word was, it was not written by a famous person. the person who wrote it was a little girl, a little girl with no reputation or status.
she was just a big star or a big missy. that was better than nothing.
who would be willing to buy such a painting?
although the necklace had shocked everyone, it had been worn by the eldest daughter of the xu family. she was the niece of the nether abyss empire’s second-in-command.
of course, the auctioneer was still the auctioneer. although the words and the person who wrote them seemed to be worthless, he still praised them.
the person who wrote the words had no status, so it didn’t matter if the words weren’t written by a famous master.
the main point was that this piece of calligraphy was good.
it was so well-written that it could naturally be praised.
the auctioneer used all the nice words he knew to praise the calligraphy.
of course, no matter how much the auctioneer praised it, it was useless to say that this calligraphy would be very valuable in the future. many people in the audience did not believe it.
no one had expected leng rongrong to be even more perfunctory than xu rourou.
she had so many valuable things on her, and she couldn’t bear to take out a single one to auction, but she just took out a piece of calligraphy to auction?
and it was written at the last minute.
did she really think that she was a master-level character, that a piece of calligraphy could be sold for a sky-high price?
xu rule seized the opportunity. of course, she would not let leng rongrong off so easily. she turned around and said sarcastically, ” miss leng, didn’t you say that we can’t even compare to a single strand of your hair? why did you take out such a piece of calligraphy to auction? are you perfunctory with the family? since you can’t bear to, then don’t even write. the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were all prepared for you, what did you pay?”
“what did i pay? i wrote, i did.” leng rongrong looked at xu rule. ” second miss, you’re going overboard with your words. to be honest, i think my words are quite valuable. you’ve already said that a single strand of my hair is more precious than your entire being. then, the words i write must be even more precious!”
xu ru le was speechless.
“moreover, miss xu, even if you don’t like my writing, you can’t be so sure that you don’t like other people’s!”
“i’m not asking you to buy it, why are you so excited?”
“second miss xu, you didn’t organize this charity auction, did you? the charity funds weren’t used on you, so why are you so angry? if second miss xu feels that other people’s donations are too little, you should contribute more. after all, you are the most favored second miss of the xu family, aren’t you? are you so poor that you can only donate one necklace?”
leng rongrong looked xu rule up and down a few times with a disdainful look, then said, ” forget it. if you’re really that poor, just pretend i didn’t say anything. ”
“you’re so silly!”
the people around them started to make a fuss. ” that’s right, second miss xu, can’t you put in more effort? ”
xu rule glared at leng rongrong.
“the bracelet on second miss xu’s wrist is not bad. aren’t you going to donate it? i see that second miss xu is so kind and even blames us for not putting in enough money and effort. in that case, you should put in more effort!”
leng rongrong said with a half-smile.
many people around were looking at xu rule. xu rule’s heart ached for her, but she thought that if her little uncle could help xu rourou bid for the necklace, he would definitely help her bid for her bracelet too.
to save face and to show her generosity, xu ru le smiled and said, ” okay, i’ll donate my bracelet then. ” although it’s one that i really like, it’s only right to do charity. i’m not like some people who don’t want to donate anything they have and just write a piece of calligraphy to brush it off.”
xu ru le really took out her bracelet.
the corners of leng rongrong’s lips curved up slightly, her face black-bellied, not caring at all about what xu rule said.
the calligraphy and painting were still being auctioned.
leng rongrong was the one who said the starting price. ” 30 million. ”
therefore, when the auctioneer announced the price, everyone present was shocked.
” damn, it’s not even a work of a famous artist, and the starting price is already 30 million. although such a piece of calligraphy is pretty, i think the starting price is at most 300 yuan! ”
” three hundred is a little too much. i think i’ll consider it if it’s three thousand. ”
“that miss leng seems to be very good at accumulating wealth. she wouldn’t want to bid for her own calligraphy, right? if there’s no one else, she’ll have to buy it herself to ease the awkwardness.”
there were whispers around.
every time she heard these whispers that were unfavorable to leng rongrong, xu rule would be particularly happy.
she was looking forward to leng rongrong making a fool of herself.
but who would have thought that after the starting bid of 30 million was announced, many people would actually start to fight for it.
“50 million!”
“eighty million!”
“i bid 90 million!”
“100 million, no room for discussion. this is mine!”
“i’ve seen this kind of writing at old master li jinshu’s place before. it seems to be in old master li jinshu’s collection! i bid 110 million!”
“li jinshu? that chinese art master? that great artist?”
“old master li jinshu’s collection? then i’ll bid 200 million!”
“speaking of which, these words are indeed powerful. it’s even better than some of the calligraphy masters’. it’s worth collecting!”
just like that, as they talked, everyone seemed to realize that leng rongrong’s handwriting was very good, and it was very classic. then, they began to bid for it.
in just a few minutes, the price was raised again and again, and it was countless times more exaggerated than xu rourou’s necklace.
in the end, it reached a price of more than one billion.
it was as if money wasn’t even money, but just a number.
everyone was very crazy. there were a few people who were good at calligraphy and painting, and they were almost about to fight. each of them looked determined to win.
leng rongrong was calm and composed.
xu ru le was in disbelief, and many people who didn’t know much about calligraphy and painting were also dumbfounded.
what was going on?
wasn’t this calligraphy written by that miss leng?
she was just a little girl who wasn’t very famous, so why was everyone fighting over her so fanatically?
isn’t this too exaggerated?
“don’t tell me you hired all these people?” xu rule turned around and glanced at leng rongrong. she could not believe that so many people were bidding crazily just because of the charm of this calligraphy.
“hire? you can think this way too. you can’t afford to hire them anyway.” leng rongrong shrugged her shoulders, showing an indifferent attitude.
” f * ck you! ” xu rule felt that every time she spoke to leng rongrong, she would be so angry that she would feel like she was suffocating, unable to let it out nor swallow it down. it was too infuriating.
at this moment, the climax came.
mo linyuan and tang luo had just finished discussing the business worth hundreds of billions of yuan when they heard everyone bidding for calligraphy and paintings.
