3rd Story 13
Zhang Jiaqi and Bai Xue glanced at each other, Zhang Jiaqi took a deep breath, and patted Bai Xue’s hand comfortably. They had discussed it a long time ago. This jade necklace is not very good. When its was bought it only cost a few hundred dollar, even if it has appreciated in the past few decades, is only a hundred thousand in the sky. They gave a budget of one million this time. Zhang Jiaqi still has some private houses, and today he is bound to get this jade necklace.
Over there, Cheng Nuo quietly said to Li Yueran, “Do you want this necklace? I think it has a good meaning. If you like it, I can buy it for you?”
Li Yueran was a little moved, she has also heard about Chen Hetian and the love for his wife. The two have been together for nearly 60 years. The husband and wife have a harmonious relationship. Not everyone can encounter such a relationship. “I like it very much. If nothing else, the meaning of this necklace is so good!”
“Okay, then buy it! You can buy it for any amount of money. It’s a charity auction anyway!” Cheng Nuo didn’t know the content of the auction in advance. , In fact, they just got off the plane, almost didn’t catch the red carpet and they even changed their clothes in the babysitter’s car. Originally, I just thought that this was a charity gala, and doing charity is always a good thing. Who knows, there are such surprises. An idea suddenly popped up in Cheng Nuo’s mind and felt that the feasibility was very high.
Sure enough, after the auction started, many people raised their placards to bid. The starting price was 50,000 yuan, and soon the price was raised to 500,000 yuan. Zhang Jiaqi saw that everything was as expected, but Cheng Nuo didn’t even make a move. He smiled and raised his placard again. The price was raised to 800,000. At this time, there were fewer bidders. Zhang Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew that Cheng Nuo raised his card at this time, “One million!”
Bai Xue nervously grabbed Zhang Jiaqi’s arm, “Jiaqi !”
Zhang Jiaqi patted Bai Xue’s hand soothingly, “Don’t worry, there is me!” Then he also raised his card, “One million and one hundred thousand.”
“One million and two hundred thousand!”
“One million and three hundred thousand!”
“One million and four hundred thousand!”
Seeing that Zhang Jiaqi and Cheng Nuo were on the bar, everyone who had some interest in this necklace put down the brand. It was obvious that CEO Phaeton and Second Young Master Xingguang had the upper hand, so it’s better for them not to participate. It’s just a necklace, but the meaning is better, and it’s not worth a lot of money.
The price of the necklace was quickly raised to 2.2 million.
Zhang Jiaqi wanted to bid again, but Mike came over quietly, “Mr. Zhang called and told us to give up this auction.”
“But!” Zhang Jiaqi said reluctantly, “We have planned for so long, why did we just give up? Bai Xue was not reconciled, bit her lip and looked at Mike. She was supposed to be the most eye-catching and happiest person tonight, did she just give up?
“The plan can’t keep up with the changes, who knows that Phaeton is also involved! It’s just a necklace. Although it is a charity, more than two million is more expensive. Besides, there is really no need to conflict with Phaeton. There will be more opportunities in the future. , For example, if you take the best actor and confess in front of billions of viewers, wouldn’t that be better? Forget it! Bai Xue, you are the most considerate and you also persuade him!” Mike said with a frown.
On the stage, the host has already reminded at the end, “2.2 million, is there any price increase? If not, 2.2 million once!” The host said slowly.
Although Bai Xue was unwilling, she understood that this was not the time to play with her temper, “Yeah, Jia Qi, forget it! Wouldn’t it be more beautiful when you get the best actor and then confess your love? I’ll wait for that day.
Zhang Jiaqi sighed slightly, “Bai Xue, I have wronged you, don’t worry!” The host on the stage continued: “Two million and two hundred thousand twice!”
“Five million and two hundred thousand!”
Everyone looked at the sound, wanting to see how bold he was, daring to pull his teeth out of the tiger’s mouth, and grabbing something with Mr. Phaeton Cheng. But at first glance, it was Mr. Cheng himself who held the placard? What’s going on here? Rob with yourself? Also added three million! Money doesn’t burn like that, right?
But those who are interested understand immediately, five million two hundred thousand, 520, I love you! Mr. Cheng took the opportunity to make a confession. Thinking about Mr. Cheng’s previous actions, the mere 5.2 million is not worth mentioning.
The host was also obviously stunned. He has hosted hundreds of large and small gala events, and has hosted this charity gala four or five times. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. As a reminder, he continued: “5.2 million once, 5.2 million twice, 5.2 million three times! Deal! Please come on stage.”
Taking advantage of Cheng Nuo’s absence, the host smiled, “This auction is the highest in history for a charity gala. Mr. Cheng, you obviously have the opportunity to buy this necklace for 2.2 million, why did you increase the price to 5.2 million? 520, this number is very meaningful? Isn’t it what everyone thinks?”
Cheng Nuo stood beside the host and said with a smile: “It’s what everyone thinks. In fact, I and a lot of people who participated in this auction thinks the same, the necklace itself is not important, but the meaning it represents. I think the love between Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen who have gone through ups and downs, never forget their original intentions and go through the sixty spring and autumn hand in hand, is the most important thing. In fact, the meaning of this necklace is priceless and cannot be interpreted with money. But today, since Mr. Chen took it out for charity, he should spend more money doing charity. The reason why I chose the number 5.2 million is because I want to use this special number and this necklace symbolizing love, to express my love to the person I love, Sweetie, we are in love for long enough, I think we can move on to the next step, are you willing to marry me? I have the household registration book ready!” After speaking, Cheng Nuo took the necklace and turned towards Li Yueran’s direction and get down on one knee.
There was an uproar, followed by applause. Li Yueran covered her mouth in surprise. She didn’t expect Cheng Nuo to propose to her in this way. This completely satisfied her vanity as a woman! Urged by her side, Li Yueran stood up and walked slowly towards Cheng Nuo. Standing in front of him, Li Yueran took the necklace and said, “I do.” Cheng Nuo stood up excitedly. He got up and hugged Li Yueran.
There was another round of applause below, and occasionally there were entertainers from Phaeton Entertainment, “Kiss! kiss!”
Li Yueran pushed Cheng Nuo away embarrassedly. Cheng Nuo smiled and hugged her shoulders. The host was secretly delighted. Just now, news came from the director’s team that the ratings of this live-broadcast charity gala reached its peak. “Qiao Yue, can you tell me how you feel now?”
Li Yueran wiped her tears and smiled, “Actually, I have thought countless times about how he would propose to me, perhaps in a bright-eyed manner. In the morning, when we were having breakfast, he suddenly took out a ring and said let’s get married! Or in the evening when the sun was setting, we were walking in the garden and he took out a ring from his pocket, let’s get married! I didn’t expect him to propose marriage in this way, it was really unexpected, and it also surprised me. It deeply satisfied my vanity, really!” After speaking, she couldn’t help but laughed.
The host suddenly remembered, “Yeah, where’s the ring? How can you propose without a ring?”
Cheng Nuo took out a ring from his pocket like a conjurer, and put it on Li Yueran without saying a word. “I have been carrying with me all the time! From the first day we met, I was ready to propose and get married.”
The host looked at the heart-shaped blue diamond ring, and it looked familiar. The natural heart-shaped blue diamond that was auctioned off by an unknown person for 150 million in New York! It turned out that it was taken away by President Cheng, and it really was a big deal!
In this way, Cheng Nuo and Li Yueran stole all the limelight that night. The headlines of major media were news of Cheng Nuo’s proposal, and it firmly occupied the hot search and headlines on Weibo.
Zhang Jiaqi and Bai Xue carefully planned to grab the headlines, but they died prematurely.
On the way back in the car, Zhang Jiaqi and Bai Xue were both a little depressed. Bai Xue wanted to maintain her caring image. Fortunately, Zhang Jiaqi directly black-faced the whole process. Mike frowned and said, “Jiaqi, what happened to you tonight? You have been black-faced all the time and fell into the eyes of those who care so it’s time to make up. I know that the plan fell through and you are in a bad mood, but infront so many media , you have to put on a smile. Do you know how much effort the company has put in to maintain your image?”
Zhang Jiaqi raised his head, “You are ashamed to say, didn’t you say that everything was arranged? Didn’t you say that everything was under control? Then why is there such a change? I am a shame today!”
Mike ‘s veins jumped on his forehead, his fists clenched and loosened. After a long time, he suppressed his anger and explained patiently, “No one wants it to become like this. For today, we also spent a lot of energy, spent a lot of money and spent a lot of time, did a lot of work, even the company came forward and greeted many people, no one will really grab that necklace from you. However, people are not as good as heaven, who knows how Qiao Yue and Cheng Nuo will end up coming at the last minute. We can make Xingguang and other artists who are close to Xingguang not bid with you, but we really don’t have the ability to buy the boss of Phaeton! Jiaqi, it’s not easy for anyone, please understand each other!”
Zhang Jiaqi hummed after hearing such a word, and wanting to say more, Bai Xue hurriedly pulled his sleeve and gently persuaded: “Jiaqi, Mike is right, this is also a no-brainer and Mike doesn’t want to do this. Take your time, don’t be in a hurry. .”
Zhang Jiaqi glanced at Bai Xue and finally stopped talking.
Mike breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, he felt that the existence of this calamity was still somewhat useful. At least she could stop the angry Zhang Jiaqi.
