Yuan Rui immediately moved his body sideways, blocking Gu Jue's glance at Shi Yunnan.

With his back to Shi Yunnan, he murmured to Gu Jue with what he thought were fierce eyes, "You idiot, don't try to grab my carrot."

Shi Yunnan was amused by Yuan Rui, and saw his lover's slightly puzzled eyes, so he explained in a low voice what happened just now.

After listening to Luo Lingsheng, his eyes darkened a little, "Do you need to check them?"

Shi Yunnan squinted at Gu Jue and Song Miaoke who were in the same row, his eyes changed slightly, and he whispered a word in Luo Lingsheng's ear.

Luo Lingsheng heard the words, and quickly sent a message on his mobile phone.

In less than half a minute, Qin Jian in the front row got up, looked at them meaningfully, and then quickly walked towards the outside of the court.

At the same time, the welcome sound of the host finally sounded on the field. The process of the charity auction is very simple——

The first eight auction exhibits belonged to private donations of wealthy businessmen and wives for charity dinners. They were all relatively small items, and the auctioned money would be fully used for poverty donations.

The latter exhibits are all provided by individual designers or design studios, and the starting price of the auction is set by the former themselves.

The total price of the final auction minus the design cost in the early stage, and the remaining amount will also be used for charity donations.

After the host gave a brief introduction, the professional auctioneer came on stage.

Since the first eight pieces of jewelry were all small pieces, the starting price was not too high for the guests present, and the auction went on and on quickly and smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, the follow-up design exhibits brought the atmosphere of the auction to a climax.

Shi Yunnan didn't have much interest in bidding, but he couldn't help studying the design elements of each exhibit when it came out, and he even took the initiative to explain it to Luo Lingsheng.

Originally, Luo Lingsheng had no interest in these jewelry auctions, but he liked to listen to Shi Yunnan's continuous explanations, and he was especially fascinated by the love from the heart of his lover.

"Why do you like jewelry design so much?" Luo Lingsheng never asked, he remembered that Shi Yunnan's university major had nothing to do with this.

"Because my mother liked to collect jewelry when she was alive."

Shi Yunnan's eyes flashed a gleam, and he sighed.

Back then, Wen Min also had a special jewelry cabinet, which carefully stored all kinds of jewelry items.

Every time she gets a brand new favorite jewelry, she will temporarily forget her mother's identity, and carefully match the jewelry with clothes and makeup and ask: Yibei, Yunan, does this necklace look good for mother?

Wen Min is a lady from all walks of life, and also a young lady who has been spoiled to the point of grown-ups.

The composition of her married world is very simple, with her favorite piano music, jewelry, baby twins and her beloved husband.

It's a pity that fate loves to play tricks on people.

After the Shi and Wen families fell apart, they did not take all of Wen Min's belongings away.

Later, Xie Wei became the new mistress of the Shi family. When Shi Yunnan returned home from abroad for the first time, he found that she was wearing her mother's earrings.

That was the first time he protested against the 'stepmother'.

However, Xie Wei used to be eloquent, she wiped her tears in front of Old Master Shi and Shi Sheng and pretended to be innocent, and even took the initiative to return the earrings to Shi Yunnan, and in the end it became him throwing a child's tantrum.

From then on, Shi Yunnan's feelings for this 'stepmother' dropped to the lowest level.

...

Seeing Luo Lingsheng's complexion gradually darken, Shi Yunnan quickly changed the subject with a smile, "I also came into contact with the jewelry design industry by accident, and I found it very interesting, so I gave it a try."

When he participated in the jewelry design competition for the first time, he used an alias at random.

He won the Most Innovative Award in that competition, which was due to luck and strength, and later he also got invitations for studio orders and private orders.

Gradually, he developed into his own design business.

If it weren't for the fact that he encountered the most important turning point in his life when he temporarily returned to China, maybe Shi Yunnan is still living a design life abroad day and night.

Yu Shuo in the front row turned sideways, ignoring his long-time friend and looking at Shi Yunnan.

"Mr. Shi, can you recommend to me which of the exhibits that have not yet been auctioned is more suitable for me to start with? The price doesn't matter, I can afford it."

Shi Yunnan no longer had the resistance to Yu Shuo that night when he first met, and immediately leaned forward to recommend him for a long time after hearing his request.

Luo Lingsheng was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the two people who were 'talking to each other', his sour eyes seemed to corrode a hole in the forehead of a long-time friend——

Does this person have any eyesight?Does he have no object himself?

...

The auction progressed to halftime.

Luo Lingsheng suddenly received a text message from Qin Jian who had not returned from his trip.

He read the news carefully, and immediately frowned and showed it to Shi Yunnan, "This should be regarded as illegal operation in the auction, do you want to report it to the organizer?"

Shi Yunnan saw the content of the text message clearly, "No wonder Lingyu is so sure to win."

He raised his brow lightly, "Don't report it yet, what's the point of reporting it now, the fun hasn't started yet."

Luo Lingsheng met his lover's eyes and immediately understood his intentions, "You want them to shoot themselves in the foot?"

"of course."

Shi Yunnan clung to Luo Lingsheng's ear, and explained a few more words in a very low voice.

Yuan Rui on the side couldn't bear the wholesale dog food, so he deliberately cleared his throat, "Yunnan, do you want to go to the toilet with me?"

Shi Yunnan, who just finished explaining the important matter, was speechless for two seconds, and looked over like a fool, "Are you a primary school student? Do you still have to hold hands with you when you go to the bathroom?"

"No."

Yuan Rui gestured for the position with his eyes, and instinctively said, "Gu Jue has just left, I have to follow up quietly to see, I am afraid that he will maliciously compete and come up with some dirty tricks."

Hearing this, Shi Yunnan quickly gave Luo Lingsheng a look, "I'll meet him again, and add some bargaining chips to the next good show."

"Ah."

Luo Lingsheng knew that Shi Yunnan had a plan and did not stop him.

Shi Yunnan got up and followed Gu Jue's direction.

Yuan Rui also heard the 'unclear' conversation just now, he vaguely sensed something, and chased after his friend a little worriedly.

"Yun Nan, did something happen? Gu Jue tampered with our design?" Yuan Rui asked as he walked.

It's not that he thought too badly of Gu Jue and Lingyu maliciously, but that the other party had a 'poaching' trick ahead of them.

Yuan Rui was afraid that Gu Jue would do another immoral thing that would damage their studio for his own chance of winning!

Gu Jue, this person looks dignified on the surface, but he must be careful!

"It has little to do with our designs for the time being, so don't be nervous."

Shi Yunnan patted Yuan Rui on the shoulder, and pretended to stand on the sink outside the bathroom.

"It's not that easy to tamper with design products at this kind of auction. If they are exposed, their Lingyu will only be thankless."

Yuan Rui felt relieved when he heard the words.

In less than a minute, Gu Jue came out from the inside. He saw two people standing in a row in front of the sink, approaching, "What a coincidence?"

Yuan Rui snorted, "So unlucky."

Gu Jue's sham smile slightly retracted. While pressing the hand sanitizer, he locked onto Shi Yunnan in the mirror tightly, "Mr. Shi, you have no future in Yuanshi, do you want to consider coming to our Lingyu?"

"I can directly promote you to be the supervisor of the design team."

Shi Yunnan is the only remaining member of the first batch of designers in the Yuan family. Gu Jue doesn't believe in Yuan Rui's ability, but he still recognizes Lu Zhao'an's vision of picking people.

He wanted to coax Shi Yunnan into coming to Lingyu with better conditions, and then throw it away like Yang Sen and others, and not reuse it.

First, it can attack Yuanshi and Yuan Rui, and second, it can grind Shi Yunnan.

As soon as Yuan Rui heard this, he immediately became unhappy, "Gu Jue! Don't think I dare not hit you! There is no monitoring here!"

Gu Jue likes to see other people losing control of their emotions, which gives him the pleasure of standing on the top of the game.

"Yuan Rui, don't deny it, you are just an idiot who can't help you. With the Yuan family in your hands, it will only speed up its demise."

"We have been fighting for so long in the previous generation, but we haven't won a game. Believe it or not, it will take less than two years..."

Gu Jue raised his hand and blew on the foam that was accidentally propped up in his palm, "Yuan is like this foam, it disappears in the blink of an eye."

Shi Yunnan gave a low laugh, and took the place of Yuan Rui.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Gu, I have already invested in Yuanshi Jade Design, and I am a partner and designer, so accepting your superficial kung fu of 'poaching people' is disgusting to the stomach."

"..."

There was a trace of anger in Gu Jue's eyes, and his words became more impolite, "It seems that Mr. Shi's vision is really not very good, and the work he designed must be a mess."

Who wouldn't know how to speak quickly?

The more Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui refused to admit defeat, it might mean that they had no confidence in their hearts.

Lingyu had been preparing the exhibits for this auction three months in advance. With Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui's impromptu hugging for one month, what good things could they make?

How can it be?

Just when Gu Jue was secretly belittling him, Shi Yunnan suddenly moved close to his ear, "Gu Jue, since you took over the Lingyu Design Department, it has been less than two years since you took over the Lingyu Design Department, and your capital chain has already been torn apart. the wall?"

"..."

Gu Jue only felt that the invisible strong aura held him in place, and the sharp question made it difficult for him to refute for a while.

Yes.

Lingyu jade design used to be a big piece of fat for their Gu family. The reason why Gu Jue wanted to get down from this high-level position was actually to pretend to be capable and deceive all kinds of little lovers.

Because he has no intention of management and has no design experience, he has forced away three or four veteran designers in the past two years, and the remaining designers have started to form cliques and fight openly and secretly, and have no interest in creativity and development.

By the time Gu Jue found out, the liquidity and sales amount of this independent department had been completely lost.

If not, how could he be willing to put down his figure to participate in this auction?It is also impossible to accept Xie Keyue's investment so easily.

Of course, he didn't show his secrets in front of Xie Keyue.

If at this auction, their design exhibits can attract the rich people present and have an advantage in auction prices, they should be able to win a lot of private design orders in the future!

Coupled with the use of 'charity design' as a publicity gimmick, Lingyu's other civilian designs should also have another wave of sales growth.

Step by step like this, he will definitely be able to recover the shortfall he lost.

"Lingyu is fine, don't bother Mr. Shi to worry about it." Gu Jue took half a step back, returning to wash the foam in his hand.

A dark light flickered in Shi Yunnan's eyes, and he changed his low-key style in design work, "Gu Jue, just wait and see!"

His tone was very arrogant, "My design work will definitely fetch the highest price in the auction, and then I will trample your Lingyu's design work under my feet."

These words were like a big rock hitting Gu Jue's heart hard, he looked over -

Shi Yunnan's eyes showed firmness and confidence, as if he had foreseen a result that hadn't happened yet.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Yuan Rui shook his wet hands violently, and the water droplets hit Gu Jue's face.

"Yuan Rui! What are you crazy about!"

"Gu Jue, you'd better sit tight and watch the show! The most correct thing I, Yuan Rui, has done in my life is meeting my friend Shi Yunnan! His design will definitely amaze the audience!"

"You Lingyu can only do tricks behind the scenes, I..."

Taking advantage of no one around, Yuan Rui added a sentence as if venting, "Bah! What the hell!"

He dropped the belittling words and quickly caught up with his friend who had gone away.

Gu Jue was getting more and more angry, he couldn't even figure it out - why did Shi Yunnan know Lingyu's funds and profit and loss situation!Can he even say that only his works can be auctioned to the best of the audience?

impossible!Not allowed either!

Gu Jue ravaged the paper towels used to wipe his hands into a ball of rubbish, and felt that he had to increase the stakes and gamble——

As the work of 'X Design' exhibited in the final auction, he and Lingyu Design must win the studios of Yuanshi and Shi Yunnan!

Yuan Rui quickly caught up with his friend, hooked his shoulder all of a sudden, "Yunan, I will keep it a secret for you!"

He was grinning, and it was rare for him to joke without being nervous.

Shi Yunnan asked, "What's the secret?"

Yuan Rui replied, "You were so close to Gu Jue just now, won't Mr. Luo be jealous if he finds out?"

Shi Yunnan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Stop talking nonsense in front of him."

Yuan Rui patted his chest and assured, "I know, I know, I'm your natal family! If your relationship doesn't go well, I'm afraid my career will suffer."

"Yuan Rui, get out of here."

……

When the two returned to their seats, the second half of the auction had already begun.

The atmosphere at the venue was very enthusiastic, and the No.18 work was sold for 760 million yuan, which is the highest price in the audience so far tonight!

Soon, the auction progressed to the last process of tonight - the display and auction of cutting-edge 'X Design' works.

Yuan Rui took a deep breath nervously, "Yunnan, it's our turn."

"Now, let me disclose No.20 No. [-] work for you, from..."

The auctioneer got stuck for a moment, but quickly recovered, "The 'Chan Hua' designed by Lingyu."

A display of the details of the work was displayed on the big screen, and at the same time, the display cabinet containing genuine products was also pushed up by the staff.

Yuan Rui said without any reaction at all, "What's going on? Shouldn't our work be displayed first?"

"Don't worry, I deliberately asked someone to change it temporarily." Shi Yunnan replied in a low voice.

He asked Qin Jian to find an excuse of 'data error' and temporarily changed the auction order between them and Lingyu. Because the relationship had little impact, the organizer staff easily accommodated it.

Yuan Rui was puzzled, "Why?"

Shi Yunnan looked at Gu Jue's direction and said, "Some people who pursue victory too much will pursue the highest point more blindly and impulsively before the final price and result are nothing."

Yuan Rui was confused when he heard it, but seeing that his friend was not nervous about it at all, he simply suppressed his emotions and waited.

The auctioneer on the stage cleared his throat and immediately started a smooth introduction, "Guests, please look, this exhibit is a brooch made of diamonds and emeralds. It is shaped like a sunflower, so it is named 'Chan Hua' .”

The petals of the brooch are long side strips, gradually transitioning from yellow diamonds to colorless diamonds, and the transition of the entire color strip is very natural.

The most fascinating thing is the round jade stone inlaid with an emerald in the center. The color of green onion makes people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

This brooch is a very bold innovation in jewelry design, because compared with the dazzling diamonds, the calm texture of emeralds and jade are difficult to integrate.

But at this moment, under the illumination of professional lights, the petals of the brooch exude a near-golden yellow light, which gradually merges with the light of colorless fine diamonds inwards, just like the morning sun in the morning, bright but not dazzling.

And the emerald emerald in its center, its quality and luster, even from the perspective of a layman, is one of the best top greens!

All of a sudden, several rich and wealthy ladies around exclaimed in admiration, "It's so beautiful!"

"Isn't this brooch too exquisite?"

"What's the starting price? Husband, I've taken a fancy to this one!"

Gu Jue heard a steady stream of sighs and love from around, and he felt a little more confidence in his heart.

He looked towards the fifth row and the three or four position numbers in the fifth row, looking forward to the next development.

"No. 20 No. 450, a private collection designed by Lingyu, the starting price is [-] million, and the bottom line increases by [-]! Bidding is now officially started!"

As soon as the words fell, a guest sitting in the fifth row raised his bidding number plate, "No. 35, 500 million!"

A sudden price increase of 50.

When Yuan Rui heard this number, he thumped instantly.

Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng who were sitting next to him looked at each other, knowingly watching the play.

In the next second, another six rows of guests raised their placards and shouted, "520 million!"

"Okay, Mr. No. 06, raise the price to 520 million, is there anyone else?" As soon as the auctioneer asked, another lady immediately raised her hand to raise the price.

In particular, the auctioneer will exaggerate the bidding atmosphere.

In less than 3 minutes, the bidding price of this brooch has soared to 700 million, and the most fierce bidder among them was the guest No. 35 sitting in the fifth row.

Secondly, there is guest No. 06 sitting in the sixth row.

"700 million a time, is there anyone raising the price?" the auctioneer looked around and shouted.

Suddenly, a familiar voice from the front row said, "No. 14, 770 million!"

All of a sudden, the highest price in tonight's auction was refreshed!

Gu Jue, who was sitting on the seat, instantly lit up his eyes, revealing the long-lost winner's smile.

Yuan Rui's eyes immediately chased after him, but he almost jumped up when he saw the opponent's face clearly.

He looked at Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng in disbelief, and asked in a low voice, "Yunnan, what's going on? Isn't Assistant Qin from Mr. Luo? Why did he go to shoot our opponent's design works!"

The person who called out the bidding price of '770 million' was Qin Jian who had disappeared for a long time after the opening.

Shi Yunnan suppressed Yuan Rui who was about to become a puffer fish, approached him and explained in a low voice, "It was on purpose."

"What do you mean?"

"The guests holding the No. 35 and No. 06 competing cards are actually invited by Gu Jue through money and connections."

"..."

Yuan Rui blinked in confusion, but this time he quickly realized, "Are they maliciously driving up the auction price? This is against the rules of the auction!"

Deliberately or even maliciously create an atmosphere of "hot auction" to guide guests who really love auction items to widen their bidding chips again and again under excited and impulsive circumstances.

Wait until the auction price reaches the critical point and then stop in time. The successful bidder buys the product at a premium. This is not a profit, but a loss!

And the ultimate beneficiary is often the commodity seller who hides behind and manipulates all this.

"Of course we know." Shi Yunnan replied.

This auction money was donated as a love fund, no matter how high the auction price is, it will not flow into Lingyu's pocket, but what they want is such a high price victory and effect——

In order to obtain higher attention and gimmicks, coupled with jewelry works with decent designs, there will naturally be high-value orders coming to the door.

Yuan Rui did not refute, after all, this was also the purpose of him and Shi Yunnan coming to the auction.

It's just that no matter how much they want to win, they can't engage in such small private operations!Isn't this a clear pit for the guests who really like this work?

"Don't worry, this is a psychological game."

Shi Yunnan patted the back of his friend's hand to comfort him, "With me here, I feel that he will only fall into a big tumble."

During the brief conversation between the two, the auction price has soared to 860 million.

The two 'guests' on No. 06 and No. 35 chased after each other to increase the price, and two noble ladies who really valued jewelry followed suit.

After another round, the auction price has reached 900 million yuan, and the bidder is a noble lady wearing a cheongsam and mink fur.

Yuan Rui could hardly stand it anymore, and his dislike for Gu Jue was getting deeper and deeper.

He has a moral bottom line that is too high when dealing with jade.

Just when everyone thought the auction price was too high, a familiar and indifferent voice sounded from the front row, "No. 098, 950 million."

All of a sudden, the eyes of the audience were all focused, and even Luo Lingsheng squinted his eyes in surprise, "Yu Shuo?"

Yu Shuo in the front row waved his cards interestingly, using the cards to cover up his mouth shape, "I guess what you are doing, I have nothing to do to help you."

"Don't worry, the price will continue to increase over there. If I really lose the bet, the 950 million yuan will be considered a premium product."

This little money is just such a little itchy flesh.

Sure enough, Yu Shuo's price was exported, and the auction house froze for a moment——

Although love and impulse are the truth in the auction, but a diamond brooch was sold for 950 million, which is considered a sky-high price!

Gu Jue sat on the seat, and the phone vibrated.

"Mr. Gu, do you want to continue to increase the price?"

"Mr. Gu, it's time to stop, right?"

The two text messages before and after came from the "fake guests" on the 06th and 35th respectively. They are the core trustees responsible for driving up the high prices.

At the current critical point of high prices, they can no longer raise the price rashly for Gu Jue behind the scenes, so as not to stumble and cause accidents.

Gu Jue was still hesitating, and suddenly there was a discussion beside him, "According to this auction trend, this brooch won't reach 1000 million, right? That's a new high!"

"Not necessarily, I think 950 million is almost the same."

"It's already 950 million, and it's only 50 short? I don't think the rich lady has to make another move. Women, they are always willing to spend money on things they like."

...

Gu Jue listened silently in his heart, and inexplicably flashed through his mind what Shi Yunnan said at the bathroom entrance——

Gu Jue, just wait and see, my design work will definitely fetch the highest price in the auction, and then I will trample your Lingyu's design work under my feet.

"President Gu, what's wrong with you?" Song Miaoke reminded, "It's already been the second time."

When Gu Jue heard this, he immediately replied the message with his mobile phone.

add!

Added to 90 million!

Not long after this news spread, the 'Tuo' in the front row raised the price to 90 million before the auctioneer called to stop for the third time!

As soon as this price was exported, Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng smiled playfully at the same time.

Yu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head——

This man's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, so he guessed right.

"It's only 1000, and it's a full [-] million!" Song Miaoke was nervous but also looking forward to it.

Gu Jue held his breath tightly, his eyes fixed on the noble lady in cheongsam and mink fur.

He is gambling!

Bet that the other party is willing to spend money to buy this brooch!

After all, the other party was already willing to bid up to 900 million, and a mere 100 million was an impulsive decision!

But time passed by every minute and every second, and there was no new movement in the audience, but it was a little unnaturally quiet.

Gu Jue's panic gradually seeped out from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, the auction will stipulate that the auction time for each price increase is limited to 1 minute, but the organizer and the auctioneer often delay the time in order to obtain higher benefits.

This time the auctioneer also secretly took advantage of Gu Jue, he glanced at Gu Jue's position from time to time, trying his best to delay the time and raise the atmosphere.

It's a pity that no one is willing to raise the price.

"It's almost done! Why haven't you finalized it yet?"

"That's right, it's been too long, hasn't it?"

"Is this auctioneer professional or not?"

Some guests began to make noises impatiently. It's almost ten o'clock, and they are still waiting for the last exhibit to come out, so they should go home and rest early after the auction!

The auctioneer received a strange voice, and also heard the closing sound of the organizer's field controller in his ears.

He took a deep breath, and had no choice but to make a final decision in front of all the guests, "Congratulations to guest No. 06, who bought this brooch at a price of 90 million!"

The moment these words came out, Song Miaoke shouted in panic.

Many people around heard the exclamation and turned their eyes sideways.Many people recognized Gu Jue's identity and expressed their congratulations, "Mr. Gu, congratulations."

"The auction price of Lingyu's sale this time is too beautiful!"

Gu Jue couldn't answer the words at all, and even lost the original light and arrogance in his eyes.

He was stunned in a rare position, hot and cold sweat broke out alternately on his forehead suddenly, and he couldn't get up with a breath of depression stuck in his chest——

how so?He actually lost the bet!

At this moment, other people's congratulations are a great irony to his ears!

He spent 90 million to buy his own company's design?The most terrible thing is that all the money has to be donated as love money in the end!

In addition to the management fee, registration fee, etc. spent in the early stage, the loss of this auction is almost tens of millions.

Suddenly, Gu Jue smiled mockingly at Shi Yunnan, his face turned livid.

At this moment, he seemed to have been slapped countless times, and the auction price of nearly ten million could completely crush him!But he couldn't shout anything, he couldn't say anything!

If it is exposed that he asked for a 'trust' to drive up the price, this matter will be more serious than losing nearly ten million!I'm afraid that Lingyu's design works will no longer appear in major auctions in the future!

Up to now, Gu Jue can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

...

"did you see it?"

After the game ended, Shi Yunnan whispered to his lover and friends, "Once a person loses a clear understanding of himself, he will dig a deep hole and bury himself."

He deliberately put the order of his design works at the end, just to create more uncertainty for Gu Jue——

What if Yuan and Shi Yunnan's design work can be sold for a higher price than 950 million in the end?

Not to mention, Shi Yunnan also used words to give him psychological hints at the bathroom door.

Under multiple intangible pressures, Gu Jue did not allow such a 'win-to-lose' thing to happen, he lost his calmest judgment under impulsiveness, which led to such a result.

Luo Lingsheng caught the cunning in his lover's eyes, "Gu Jue has stumbled a lot this time."

Shi Yunnan snorted, "He is in a cocoon, no wonder I am."

Yuan Rui at the side heard this, and made no secret of his gloating, "That's right! He deserves it!"

One is happy and one is sad.

Not long after, the last design work was finally brought before the eyes of all the guests.

Before the auctioneer introduced a single word, the moment the genuine product was exhibited, exclamations from the audience erupted one after another.
