"Look, this is a painting of the Wen and Ming Mountains. I bought it from a private hidden family. It cost me 30 million. Today, I will show it to all of you for free, so I won't charge you any money."
Ximen Feng's high-profile tone inevitably attracted many people. Each of them stretched their necks to take a look.
"It is really a painting of the Civil Calamities Mountain and River. I am afraid it is rare to see this in a national museum, right?"
"This time, Young Master Ximen made a huge profit. He accepted Wen Zheng Ming's painting for 30 million and bought it. At the very least, he doubled it!"
"Haha, Young Master Ximen has sharp eyes. We ordinary people are very envious!"
A wave of flattering voices came from all around, and it was so loud that it shook the sky. It only made Ximen Feng feel comfortable. He pointed at Qin Chuan and the others and said arrogantly.
"I'm afraid you country bumpkins have never seen such a precious treasure before. Today, I will let you all broaden your horizons. Just treat it as me, Young Master Ximen, doing charity. Hahaha..."
"Damn it, why didn't I encounter such a good thing? I let Ximen Feng take advantage of me for nothing."
Wang Dachuan angrily slapped his forehead. Compared to Ximen Feng's collection, his stuff should be thrown into the trash bin. It was like the difference between heaven and earth!
"This idiot is really ridiculous. How dare he be so arrogant with a fake painting? I really don't know if his eyes have some kind of problem."
At this time, a very inappropriate voice was heard. It was exceptionally ear-piercing in the midst of the crowd's compliments. Ximen Feng's laughter suddenly paused, as disgusting as eating a fly.
"You f * cking brat, what nonsense are you spouting!" Ximen Feng grabbed the painting with one hand and pointed at Qin Chuan with the other. His face was full of anger.
"I say, this painting of yours is fake. To think that you would dare to show it off."
Qin Chuan shook his head. He picked up the grapes on the table and threw them into his mouth.
"You, you fart! How can this painting be fake? " What kind of antique does a bumpkin know! "
Ximen Feng was so angry that he trembled and scolded Qin Chuan angrily.
"That's right. Is this kid blind? This painting is clearly real."
"I think he's jealous of what Young Master Ximen said on purpose."
"Wang Dachuan too, why did he bring such an ignorant kid here..."
The surrounding people shook their heads and discussed. They looked at Qin Chuan as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Alright, quickly sit down."
Lu Xueqing could not hold back anymore and pulled Qin Chuan down.
"Humph, this time you know how ignorant you are. Wait for me to give the painting to Elder Lin for appraisal. When the time comes, don't change your mind!"
Ximen Feng put away the painting proudly. He looked at Qin Chuan with disdain, turned around and returned to his seat.
"Mr. Qin, are you telling the truth?" Wang Dachuan looked excited. He believed in Qin Chuan's ability. If he said the painting was fake, then it must be fake!
"No, his painting is real." Qin Chuan shook his head calmly. Although he didn't observe it carefully, Qin Chuan could feel the ancient Qi emitted from the painting. If it was fake, he wouldn't have such a feeling.
"Then why did you say that? Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?"
Wang Dachuan looked a little depressed. Initially, he thought that the painting was fake, and that it could kill Ximen Feng's arrogance. Qin Chuan said that it was true. This time, he was the one who had lost face.
Qin Chuan, on the other hand, chuckled. His eyes sparkled. "Brother Wang, regardless of whether this painting is real or fake... What I said doesn't count. What Ximen Feng said doesn't count either."
"Then who said so?" Wang Dachuan was stunned, as if he had understood something.
"He said it."
Qin Chuan smiled and gestured at Elder Lin, who was not far away. "Didn't Ximen Feng say that he would give the painting to Elder Lin to be appraised? We can do this..."
The auction was about to begin. In the middle of the auction, besides going to the toilet, Qin Chuan did not provoke anyone else. It made Lu Xueqing feel slightly relieved. She thought that it was a wrong decision to bring Qin Chuan here today.
The process of this meeting was to hold an antique auction in the afternoon. In the evening, there was also a raw stone auction. The profits would be taken out one-tenth of the profits and donated to the charity organizations in Dongjiang City. It was used to build the orphanage and support the poor, so it was not too extravagant. However, the host came up to warm the place, followed by a man in his 40s or 50s. A middle-aged woman with a kind face walked up.
She was the organizer of this auction. Her name was Tao Qinghua, and she was also the leader of the Dongjiang City Charity Agency.
"Ladies and gentlemen, charity is inseparable from us. Think about those children who don't have books, those who don't..."
An impassioned but sorrowful speech made Qin Chuan sleepy. Finally, when Qin Chuan was about to fall asleep, the speech ended and the auction officially began.
Rubbing his eyes, Qin Chuan turned to look at Lu Xueqing. Unknowingly, her eyes were filled with tears and she was wiping her tears.
"So kind." Qin Chuan couldn't help but mutter.
"What did you say?" Lu Xueqing turned her head and said with tears at the corners of her eyes.
"It's nothing. The auction has begun." Qin Chuan shook his head, but in his heart, he acknowledged Lu Xueqing even more.
Such a beautiful and kind girl was actually his wife. He didn't know that she was his wife. Was it because of the good fortune he had gained in his previous life?
With a clear bell ring, the first item was brought onto the stage. It was a saber coin from the Warring States Period. It wasn't very valuable, but it was filled with an ancient aura. The starting price was 100,000 yuan.
"I bid 200,000!"
Just as the bidding started, Ximen Feng stood up and shouted loudly.
"Young master Ximen is really caring. Although this blade coin had existed for a long time, it had never been sold at a high price because it had existed for a long time. The fact that Young Master Ximen was able to bid at 50% of the market price means that he is definitely supporting the charity industry in Dongjiang City! "
Seeing this, Tao Qinghua immediately began to praise Ximen Feng.
"Humph, that's right. Our Ximen family naturally knows how to take it from the people and use it to the people. We are not like some upstarts who don't take out a single cent."
Ximen Feng said and gave Wang Dachuan a provocative glance.
"Damn it, this kid is going too far!" Wang Dachuan furiously slammed the table, stood up and shouted. "I bid 400,000!"
0
"Hahaha! Wang Dachuan's head was kicked by a donkey? He actually spent four hundred thousand yuan on one broken sword coin."
Who asked him to be rich? How could he be worthy of being called a nouveau riche? "
A wave of mocking voices suddenly came from the surroundings. In their eyes, Ximen Feng had offered a high price for charity, while Wang Dachuan had only offered a high price to show off.
"This is really infuriating! All of you shut the f * * k up!"
Wang Dachuan shouted angrily, turned around, and was about to throw a punch at the person who had mocked him.
"Calm down, Mr. Wang. The show is still coming. Let this kid be proud for a while."
Qin Chuan hurriedly pulled Wang Dachuan back, thinking to himself, "Why is this old kid even more impulsive than me?
"Since Director Wang supports the charity of our Eastern River, then I won't take away the love of others. This antique will be given to Director Wang."
Ximen Feng did not forget to stab Wang Dachuan in the back. His ugly face could be seen at a glance.
"Whoever is crying and laughing is still behind." Qin Chuan snorted coldly. Ximen Feng stared at them like a plaster, which had already made Qin Chuan particularly disgusted.
"Mr. Wang, don't you have the order of the auction items? How many items do you want?" I'll help you bid. Qin Chuan asked.
"The third item is, Mr. Qin must help me get it." Wang Dachuan said with some distress.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Don't Ximen Feng like charity? I will make him bleed this time!"
The second item was an exquisite vase with an antique taste. It was clearly not an ordinary item.
"This vase is Song Ruyao's vase. The starting price is two million. Each bid must not be lower than one hundred thousand."
As the host finished introducing the vase, all the merchants were immediately attracted by the uniqueness of the vase. Even Ximen Feng's gaze fell on the vase with a longing expression.
"Mr. Qin, that vase is fake. You must not take a picture of it." Seeing that Qin Chuan wanted to participate in the competition, Wang Dachuan hurriedly advised.
"Mr. Wang, don't worry. I said I will make Ximen Feng bleed."
Qin Chuan glanced at Ximen Feng. Since he wanted this thing, Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't let him get it so easily.
