Xie Zhou looked at Chu Zheng's back with a deep and distant gaze.
The man was completely bewildered. What was the background of that woman?
Xie Zhou actually called her Mr. Gu?
Which Mr. Gu?
Why doesn't he know?
Liu Manman's expression was unclear. She lowered her head and used her bangs to cover her expression.
Only the tightly clenched hand hanging by her side betrayed the unease in her heart.
Xie Zhou led her into the venue. The man followed nervously, his mind filled with Xie Zhou's call "Mr. Gu".
After entering, the man immediately spotted the girl he had just seen at the very front.
Sitting in the first row, this...
"Why has the president of Starlight Entertainment changed?" "
"I don't know..."
Not a single word has been heard. Isn't that girl the one who's been very popular in the entertainment circle recently... Is it called Gu Chuzheng?
"I know her. She even said she was kept by someone..." "
Come on! How did I hear about this? Was it the one from the Gao family who framed her? I have no idea what grudge Gao Xueyun has against her.
"Can the president of Starlight be kept by someone else?" Are you kidding? What a big deal does this require?
The soft and fragmented sounds of discussion all around, when heard by the man and Liu Manman, were particularly shrill.
President... The president of Starlight Entertainment...
The man wiped a cold sweat. Just now, Xie Zhou called her "Mr. Gu", which meant he had known all along...
"Mr. Xie, is she really the president of Starlight?" Liu Manman held Xie Zhou's arm, showing a curious look.
"Um."
Having received an affirmative answer, Liu Manman's face turned pale.
How could she be the president of Starlight? Could it be that all the knowledge I knew about her before was just her deceiving me?
-
The whispers did not disturb Chu Zheng, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her.
It was only when the auction began that these voices died down.
It was said that there were quite a few good items at this auction. Chu Zheng was flipping through the booklet she got when she entered the venue, on which were the items to be auctioned.
But the last three items were all questioned.
So many people have gathered here today, probably all for these three things.
Chu Zheng wasn't interested in these. If it weren't for the mission sent by Wang Ba Dan, she wouldn't have come.
"Take pictures of what you like later." " Chu Zheng threw the sign to Su Jiu.
Su Jiu: "..."
This scene is similar to an idol drama in a TV series.
But the problem is... He is a man!
Why doesn't she feel out of place at all when she says such words?
Su Jiu would never dare to hold up a sign. Besides, all these things are just external to him. He has never entered the entertainment industry for the sake of making money.
Su Jiu lowered his head and idly turned the sign over and over again.
"Raise."
Su Jiu suddenly heard the sound of the Chuzheng. He froze and didn't move. In the next second, his wrist was held by someone and the sign was raised.
Su Jiu looked up at the stage and saw a painting worth three million... Does she like this?
Chu Zheng raised the signboard, and Liu Manman followed suit.
At first, there were still people following, but gradually no one followed. Only Chu Zheng and Liu Manman remained, and their prices kept soaring.
Liu Manman came with Xie Zhou. If she dared to do so, it must have been Xie Zhou who signaled.
Xie Zhou actually has quite a few women around him. Spending lavishly on women is not something new.
It's just that the newly appointed president of Starlight Entertainment... So rich and powerful?
"Nine million!" Liu Manman's voice suddenly rang out.
Chu Zheng looked over at Liu Manman, who provocatively curled the corner of her mouth.
"Mr. Gu, nine million is a bit not worth it..." Su Jiu reminded her.
The base price of this painting is only three million.
Chu Zheng held his hand and raised the sign again: "Ten million."
There was an uproar in the venue. This was the highest price so far.
Everyone looked at Liu Manman, but Liu Manman had no intention of raising the sign again.
For a moment, everyone felt a bit sympathetic towards Chu Zheng. Had she been tricked?
Su Jiu held Chu Zheng's hand and said with both hands, "Mr. Gu, Liu Manman deliberately provoked you..."
"I know." Should I send her a banner to thank her for being so willing to help others?
Do you know how to still...
"Rich."
"..."
The people sitting around Chu Zheng all blushed.
It's amazing to be rich!
Whose rich young lady is this!!
Do your parents know about this extravagant spending?
Su Jiu's gaze fell on the hand he was holding Chu Zheng. He had not noticed it just now, but now when he realized it, his fingers seemed to have frozen.
The delicate and warm touch under the fingers made Su Jiu reluctant to let go.
He swallowed hard and glanced at Chu Zheng. Suddenly, Chu Zheng raised his other hand and rubbed his head twice.
Su Jiu's ears suddenly turned red. Fortunately, the light was dim and he couldn't see it.
After doing this, Su Jiu also forgot to let go of Chu Zheng's hand.
From now on, as long as Chu Zheng raises her hand, Liu Manman will surely follow suit, raise the price and eventually give up.
Chu Zheng accepted all the orders and was very grateful to Liu Manman for spending money on her.
Those who sit far away all think that Chu Zheng is a person who gets easily provoked, but those who sit close all know that he understands everything at all; it's just that he has a lot of money.
Congratulations, young lady, on completing the task. The 50 million reward has been credited to your account. The cheerful voice of the King's Horn rang out, "The little sister is so great!"
Chu Zheng gave a cold laugh back to the King's Horn.
[...] You've already praised her. Why aren't you happy yet? Why is the young lady so hard to please? She held me tightly and trembled.
For the last three mysterious auction items, many people perked up.
Xie Zhou was clearly here for the last three auction items as well. Every time Liu Manman raised her hand, she would look at him. Only after Xie Zhou nodded would she make a move.
The price of the last auction item has soared all the way and has exceeded 20 million.
Moreover, several people didn't give up, each looking determined to succeed.
There are also many people paying attention to Chu Zheng. It is unknown whether this wealthy new president of Starlight will join as well.
Twenty-five million each time.
Twenty-five million twice.
"Thirty million." Su Jiu raised his signboard, and his clear voice filled the entire venue.
"Thirty-two million!" Liu Manman followed.
"Forty million." Su Jiu's voice was trembling a little. This was just too outrageous.
"..."
While others add at the lowest price, she directly adds at tens of millions right from the start...
Liu Manman gritted her teeth, her heart filled with anger and resentment. She took the initiative to say, "Forty-two million."
Su Jiu looked at Chu Zheng hesitantly. Chu Zheng motioned for him to continue, "Fifty million!"
Xie Zhou pulled Liu Manman down, wanting her to stop following him, but Liu Manman shouted out before him, "Sixty million."
After she called out, she had no intention of following. Because of what had happened before, she felt that Chu Zheng would definitely continue.
However, she waited for a long time, but there was no further movement from Chu Zheng's side.
It was only then that Liu Manman panicked.
"Sixty million each time."
"Sixty million twice."
"Sixty million deal!"
Liu Manman's eyes widened slightly, and all the color on her face faded. Why didn't she follow anymore? Didn't she follow every time before?
"Mr. Xie..." I...
The last shot was over. The host said a few words and began to leave. Xie Zhou had a stern expression and got up to leave.
"Mr. Xie." Liu Manman anxiously caught up and said, "Listen to my explanation."
