Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 688 A new beginning
He could not stand this feeling of humiliation, and he had no place to vent his anger, so he could only turn to Zhou Qi and sneer, "What are you so proud of? You think you got a bargain and act like a saint. It's just a trifle. You are such a bumpkin who has never seen the world."
Li Jianan was watching with great joy, while Zhou Qi became the focus of everyone's attention, which made Huo Weiting jealous and angry. If he had known this, he should not have given up so easily. If the hairpin ended up in his hands, he would be the one to stand out, and Li Jiaxin's attention would also be attracted to him.
Tang Jiachen was not to be outdone and echoed, "That's right! Poor people are poor after all. They have never seen any big scenes. It's really funny." He also felt very uncomfortable and didn't understand why good luck always favored Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi chuckled and responded: "It's just over 100 million. To me, it's like free money. I don't feel bad about spending it." His words made the people around him hold their breath, especially Tang Jiachen, whose teeth were almost clenched to the point of grinding.
Just when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, a gray-haired man quietly appeared at the table and politely said to Li Jiaxin: "Miss Li, could you please show me this hairpin again?"
This gentleman was one of the three jewelers. Before Li Jiaxin could react, Huo Weiting immediately said excitedly: "Jiaxin, show it to Mr. Hou quickly. Maybe he didn't see it carefully because he was on the stage for too short a time."
"That's what I said. How could something like this be worth so much money? It must be a misunderstanding." Huo Weiting tried to save the situation, but his words revealed obvious reluctance and helplessness.
"This is something that really suits you," he said. "It's not very nice to go out with a knockoff."
"If you really like it, I promise to do my best to find the original, no matter how much it costs. If I really can't find it, I will ask someone to make a replica for you."
"Who said this is a replica?" The other party's tone was a little unhappy.
The visitor's face darkened slightly, as if he felt that his professionalism had been challenged. "If it weren't for the Huo family's face..." He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear: if it were someone else, they might not be so polite.
Before he could continue, Zhou Qi had already taken the hairpin and examined it carefully with both hands. His expression became more and more excited: "The craftsmanship of this hairpin is very ancient. It should be a British handicraft from the last century. And the angel heart inlaid on it - a natural heart-shaped ruby - I have also heard of it."
"Rubies are rare, let alone a naturally formed heart-shaped one. I'm afraid there's no other gem like this in the world." Zhou Qi's voice was full of respect: "The last time I saw it was fifty years ago at the Hua Fulun family, and it has been missing since then. I'm so lucky to see it again today!"
Huo Weiting's face turned from excitement to embarrassment. Li Jianan laughed and said, "Mr. Huo, what did you say just now? You want to copy one? This is naturally formed, how can you copy it? Are you polishing a ruby? The value is completely different."
At this moment, Huo Weiting just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
At this time, another guest turned his gaze to Zhou Qi, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mr. Zhou, excuse me, I am willing to pay 200 million for this hairpin, I wonder if you would consider selling it?"
"I'm sorry," Zhou Qi replied calmly, "This is a gift I specially prepared for Jiaxin. It represents my thoughts and I have no intention of reselling it."
Hearing this, the man sighed softly, obviously regretting missing such a precious opportunity. However, in his opinion, Zhou Qi obviously wanted to win Li Jiaxin's favor through this precious gift. Only such a special thing could attract the attention of this rich daughter.
"Giving a jewel to a beautiful woman, Miss Li, shows Mr. Zhou's sincerity." The man added politely and then left the scene.
When Li Jiaxin took the hairpin from Zhou Qi, she clearly felt the weight of this gift. The price of 200 million and the words just now gave it a deeper meaning. This gift was not only extremely precious, but also carried Zhou Qi's thoughts for her, which made her feel touched and a little uneasy.
Zhou Qi noticed Li Jiaxin's uneasiness, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Take it."
"This gift is too expensive, I..." Li Jiaxin felt a little embarrassed.
Before she could continue, Zhou Qi interrupted her: "I really like the bow tie you gave me before. This is my return gift." After saying that, he gently held her wrist and placed the exquisite hairpin in her palm.
Zhou knew clearly that without Li Jiaxin's help in Guangdong Province and Hong Kong City, many things would not go so smoothly. However, Li Jiaxin's heart was filled with different ripples at this moment, her cheeks were slightly red, her fingers gently stroked the heart-shaped ruby on the hairpin, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
Li Jianan, who was watching silently from the side, saw the changes in his sister clearly. He knew that his sister had always been aloof and few people could impress her. But Zhou Qi was different. Not only did he spend a huge amount of money to buy a hairpin for his sister, he also proved his sincerity and uniqueness with his actions. Which girl could refuse such a man?
Not long after, at a charity auction, a fan inlaid with broken gemstones attracted everyone's attention.
"Five hundred thousand!" Tang Jiachen shouted out the price.
"Six hundred thousand!" Zhou Qi raised his hand to bid without hesitation.
Tang Jiachen's face suddenly darkened. He had wanted to show off his strength through this auction, but he didn't expect that Zhou Qi would follow closely behind him every time he made a bid. The secret competition between the two seemed to have just begun.
Zhou Qi didn't even glance in that direction, obviously he was used to this kind of scene. He remembered that Tang Jiachen always provoked him like this when he was at the stock exchange. Now, Tang Jiachen shouted "One million!" with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.
However, Zhou Qi did not hesitate at all and immediately responded: "Five million." His voice was calm and confident, indicating that he would never back down at this moment.
Just as Tang Jiachen was about to make another offer, Huo Weiting stopped him with a wave of his hand. "Five million, one hundred thousand!" Huo Weiting deliberately made the price awkward, obviously trying to make things difficult for Zhou Qi.
But Zhou Qi just smiled faintly, and then said: "Ten million!" His movements were quick and elegant, as if everything was under control.
People around began to whisper, and the two began their bidding war again. The price was rising so fast, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what was so special about this fan? The previous movement made people realize that Zhou Qi had an extremely sharp eye, so they looked more carefully at the items on the screen.
