Chapter 306. He Even Wanted to Chop up Nian Junting and Chew Him up
Under the gazes of the others who were whispering to each other, Nian Junting crossed his legs, proudly raised his chin, and said with a cold and clear voice, Since this is a charity event, why are we caring so much about the price of the piece? The most important thing is that were going to help those children with leukemia. Perhaps if we pay more, one more life will be saved.
His words brought himself praise from almost all the others in the venue.
Even Luosang looked at him in a different way, saying, Junting, I didnt know that you like to help others.
Mr. Nian is really a man of virtue. The emcee, who held the microphone, couldnt stopplimenting Nian Junting.
Yi Jingxi clenched his teeth and raised his bidding paddle, One-point-five million.
One-point-eight million, Nian Junting said, raising the price further.
Two million, said Yi Jingxi.
This time, Nian Junting stayed silent.
The emcee looked at him and asked, Mr. Nian, are you going to bid higher?
Nope, Nian Junting shook his head.
Yi Jingxi finally sighed with relief. Looking at Nian Junting, he said, Mr. Nian, didnt you say that if we pay more, one more life might be saved?
Nian Junting nodded, nced at him, and responded with, Yeah, but the one who paid two-million for a modernndscape painting might be seen as an idiot.
Yi Jingxis pupils shrank, and his heart nearly exploded because of anger.
The corners of Luosangs mouth twitched intensely.
She was honestly impressed by Nian Junting. It turned out that he said all the nice words earlier just to entrap Yi Jingxi.
Luosang admitted that she overestimated Nian Juntings virtue.
However, seeing Yi Jingxi trying so hard to keep himself from losing his temper, she felt rather delighted.
So, the first piece was sold to Yi Jingxi like that.
For the second and third piece, Nian Junting didnt make a move.
The fourth piece was a blue and white porcin vase from the Ming Dynasty. The starting price was two-million and eight-hundred thousand yuan.
When someone offered four-million, Nian Junting raised his bidding paddle and said, Six-million.
The venue stirred again.
Yi Jingxi curved his lips into a smile, raised his bidding paddle, and followed, Eight-million.
Ten-million, said Nian Junting.
Hearing that price, all the others turned to Yi Jingxi.
At that point, anyone with discerning eyes had figured out that Yi Jingxi waspeting against Nian Junting on purpose.
This time, Yi Jingxi didnt bid higher, but smilingly said to Nian Junting, Mr. Nian, since you like this piece so much, Ill just give it up.
Youughed at me earlier, but now, youre going to pay ten-million for an average blue and white porcin vase. What a fool.
Nian Junting gave a smile, then said with a loud voice, Thank you Mr. Yi. I was waiting for you to bid higher, so I could buy this piece with a better price to help some more underprivileged children. What a shame. How about thisIll add five-million. Ill pay fifteen-million for this vase, so we can build a few more primary schools for the needy children who are living in the mountain areas.
Mr. Nian, on behalf of those children, I thank you for what you have done! The emcee excitedly started pping.
Soon, the venue was overwhelmed by apuse and praises.
Nian Junting smilingly stood up, waved his hand, then gently made a bow.
Luosang was a little speechless.
Its such a waste that this man isntpeting for an Oscar.
Yi Jingxis face had blushed crimson at the moment. He even wanted to chop up Nian Junting and chew him up.
Before, he barely made any contact with Nian Junting and was only impressed by his proudness.
But now, he found Nian Junting was so shameless that he could even turn ck into white.
Zhong Yi held Yi Jingxis hand and said, Jingxi, calm down. Stop bidding.
Yi Jingxi coldly threw away her hands and gave her a threatening nce.
