"Gentlemen, ladies, please be quiet. We will start the official auction. Let us first look at today ’s first artwork" Venus and Adonis. "
Before the hammer auctioneer walked onto the stage, someone placed a medium-sized painting on the easel beside him. As soon as this picture was drawn, the atmosphere of the entire auction venue suddenly rose, and even became hot. The scene that had just calmed down was again full of whispers.
The auctioneer was very satisfied with the sensation caused by his heavy artillery, and when Brigitte sitting in the corner saw the painting being put up, his hands were clenched and his eyes were straight. There was no lady in her mouth who scolded: "These **** thieves, they are desecrating, desecrating sacred art."
On the other side, Zhou Qingfeng was a little puzzled by the commotion in the venue. He asked strangely: "Is this painting special?"
If others show their ignorance in this way, Xu Yun is afraid that they will despise them. But Zhou Qingfeng's wise and funny image has been planted in the heart of Miss Tianhou, and now he is blank and a bit real and cute.
Xu Yun even smirked in his heart, and he thought about it carefully: "The author of this painting is Titian, a man who became the father of oil painting. His work represents the beginning of an era and even influenced the Renaissance Raphael and Michelangelo of the three heroes. This painting is also very interesting, it is a story about incest, ...... "
Listening to the story behind the oil painting by Xu Yun, Zhou Qingfeng found that he had no knowledge of the art. He said weakly: "Isn't the Renaissance the Picassos? Where did Titian come from?"
"Ha Ha Ha ..., the age of Picasso's life is far from the Renaissance." Xu Yun's stomach was amused by Zhou Qingfeng's silly look, she was almost leaning against each other by pulling the man's arm On the wide chest, the joy in her heart almost forced her to say three words of confession.
It's just that this sudden and intense emotion was destroyed by the hot auction venue. I heard a banging hammer, and after more than ten rounds of fierce bidding, the auctioneer sold the painting.
The hammer sound smashed Xu Yun ’s thoughts into a crush. She finally managed to clear her mind. After she stabilized her mind and heard the auction price on the stage, she could n’t help but stick out her tongue and said, “It ’s too expensive, I ca n’t buy it. Up. "
The world has been in peace for too long, and the prices of various works of art have been increasing. Even the current black market prices are staggering. Looking at Zhou Qingfeng, Xu Yun seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't had any income in recent years, and I'm almost bankrupt. It looks like I can't pick it up cheaply."
The queen of the music scene actually said that he was about to go bankrupt. If this news is released, I am afraid that the entire entertainment industry will explode. But Xu Yun is full of heart today, and by the chance of being alone with Zhou Qingfeng, I really want to say all the depressed thoughts in my heart, "Would you like to hear about me?"
Xu Yun's words are almost a bit aspiring. She has no friends, working alone in the entertainment circle, but she is tens of thousands of concerned eyes. Generous, elegant, confident and proud, she actually wanted to be weak for a while, but she couldn't find anyone to talk to.
"You say it, I'm listening." Zhou Qingfeng gently held the woman's catkin. In this increasingly fierce auction, the two men and women looked at others and found nothing but to talk about their feelings.
Xu Yun felt very calm in her heart, and her usual anxiety disappeared. She leaned on the man ’s shoulder and said softly, "I haven't released a new song for several years, but I won't do anything else, only sing. I was invited to participate in TV shows and commercials, but I couldn't do it.
In the past ten years or so, I have been used to a luxurious life, and it costs a lot every month. After being sought after by people all year round, I suddenly became terrified when I realized that I was afraid I could not sing. Others call me Tianhou, in fact, I am just an ordinary girl!
I ca n’t find a song that makes me like it. Those songwriters have already said that I am too picky. The current music scene is already waiting in secret to read my jokes, but I really don't want to sing those songs that are not to my liking. This is ridiculous, but it happened to me.
I'm like a little mouse in a cage, and I've reached the point of nowhere. I thought about change, but I do n’t know how to change. In the past two years, I began to suffer from severe insomnia. I had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep. I even got anorexia, obviously hungry, but couldn't eat anything and vomited as soon as I ate.
But. . . . . . I have eaten well and slept well in these two or three days, and the assistant said that my appearance has greatly improved. do you know? I always thought that I had been insulated from love in my life, but now I found that the one who followed my heart did not show up. "
Miss Tianhou ’s forehead is sweating, and she can see drops of water on the tip of her nose. She stared at Zhou Qingfeng, thinking she was a girl. She could say that this point was already the limit. Now what should the boy say now? Even if she coaxes her!
"But I ... I actually ..."
"I don't want to listen to this."
"Are you sure I am right for you?"
"I want to listen to an affirmation without looking for excuses."
In Xu Yun's burning eyes, Zhou Qingfeng opened his mouth a few times but said nothing. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xu Yun's original eager heart slowly became cold. When she found that she couldn't get the words she wanted, she even had a hatred in her heart, and said sadly: "Are you so cruel? I don't ask you anything, can you comfort me?" "
After saying this, strong self-esteem makes Xu Yun no longer able to continue sitting next to Zhou Qingfeng. Huo Ran got up, bowed her head and hurried away, and quickly left the auction venue with tears.
And Zhou Qingfeng just sighed and said to himself: "It seems that I am only suitable for the overbearing occupation of the overlord's hard bow, like this kind of innocent love can't get it! Seeing this girl so poor, I actually I feel a sense of guilt. "
Goodbye the next day, Xu Yun returned to normal. She still smiled with Feng Wan, and the two women continued to stroll around on the cruise, but she no longer flirted with Zhou Qingfeng. Originally, she liked to watch Zhou Qingfeng eat and drink, and also tasted various foods, but this time her anorexia came again, she could only watch, and then secretly drink nutrient solution to supplement her physical strength.
The auction continues. Since each auction does not exceed ten collections, more than fifty collections took five or six days to complete. During this time, Elvin and Brigitte used CIA's channels to contact multiple members participating in the auction to successfully buy all the outgoing paintings.
And Xu Yun must come to every auction, but no longer carry Zhou Qingfeng. She occasionally held a sign, but ultimately failed to sell because the price was too high. Until the last final painting "Virgin, Son and Saint" was put on the easel, it came from Raphael, one of the three Renaissance masters.
"This is Raphael's most important altar decoration painting. It has been preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of New York for more than 100 years. It must be bought, and it cannot be left in the hands of others." Brigitte There is a profound understanding of the importance of paintings. This last painting is highly representative of both artistic value and historical value.
But Elvin is running out of money. The black market price of more than fifty artworks is far beyond his estimate. CIA has prepared 200 million cash for the case and stored it in the vault of the cruise ship. This huge sum of money is enough to bury several living people. But now this money is also used up.
"We have no money."
"How much is left?"
"Less than five million."
"God hell, go get the money. I hope no one will raise prices with us."
Unexpectedly, Xu Yun, who has never sold any works, is determined to buy this painting, although she does n’t like it at all.
Have never been in love, and the heartbroken woman who was like a man but loved a man for the first time entered a paranoid state. She almost self-destructively invested all the money she had left, and finally made the senior agent of CIA awkward.
"Three million."
"3.5 million."
"Four million."
"4.5 million."
"Five million."
"5.5 million."
After rounds of bidding, Elvin couldn't bear it. The ruthless woman is completely unreasonable, and he is just forced to the end. The plan to pack all the paintings is so unsuccessful. What is missing is the treasure of the New York Metropolitan Museum.
If you know the reason behind this, Elvin will definitely point at the nose of Zhou Qingfeng's angrily and scold: Would you like to coax this woman? Let you sleep for free but pretend to be innocent, actually let her out and harm us? Do you know how serious this is? The next thing is you forced me. (To be continued.)
