Chapter 440 Misunderstanding?

Feng Yi smiled with satisfaction when he heard Feng Chi calling out the price.

The two of them had acted together in the Feng family when they were students. They had deceived so many people and had been working together for so many years under the eyes of that group of people. As expected, the two cousins ​​still had a tacit understanding.

He regretted saying 2.5 million just now. This number sounded a bit subtle.

He didn't pay attention when he said it and shouted it out casually. He thought that others would quickly pass this number, so he didn't think much about it when he called out the price.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly became quiet.

Fortunately, Feng Chi took over.

"Three million."

Feng Yi shouted.

It’s not like I’m trying to lower the price. This scene is too embarrassing. Everyone knows that Feng Chi is with me. It’s just a little bit of a cushion. Don’t make it too exaggerated. I’ll take a random photo later.

In the end, Feng Yi won the black rough diamond for three million, which was far less than the more than ten million that the Wang family expected.

Some of the guests couldn't hold it back and laughed, but Wang Xuqin, who continued to preside over the auction on the stage, still performed impeccably.

After that, the smoke came back again, and the atmosphere was completely different from before. Whether it was intentional or just for fun, it was like running and gunning again after the intermission, the rhythm was fast, intense, and tireless.

This is the normal atmosphere of Mingyao activities!

In comparison, the deserted and calm scene just now was simply distorted.

Mr. Gong and Ms. Yin set their sights on a piece of jade. They worked together to acquire the good-quality jade at a high price.

"Smoke" filled the auction hall, and the atmosphere became heated. There were people teasing, scolding, and even rolling up their sleeves to get involved, no matter whether it was decent or not.

As a member of the melon-eating crowd, Feng Yi has indeed gained a lot of knowledge. I also roughly know how high the price will be if these people run and bomb.

He picked up the auction book and flipped through it again, looking around and focusing on a painting.

It was a painting jointly painted by several students supported by the Mingyao Fund. It was a love painting and was non-commercial in nature. This painting can't compare with those jewelry and diamonds, but Wang Xuqin also quoted a starting price of over 100,000 yuan.

Feng Yi participated in the bid bidding, but this time there was no silent scene with the black diamond. Many of the guests who had not yet made a move stared at the painting, hoping to get it done cheaper.

Finally, Feng Yi bought the painting for five million.

Wang Xuqin added at this time: "Actually, there is a little surprise here."

While he was talking, he had another picture frame handed over to him.

The painting is not big, about the same as a ten-inch tablet.

Wang Xuqin explained: "This was a gift from one of the authors of the painting just now. It was a painting he made when he was a child. He painted it based on the legends told by his elders in the family when he was young..."

The single-color pencil drawing shows that the brushwork is very childish, and the painting seems to be about the monsters and villagers in the stories of the elders.

The bonus items are not included in the auction brochure.

Feng Yi looked at the painting and blinked.

There is this little surprise that I didn’t know about!

The "monster" in the painting does not have a snake tail, but has fangs and claws, and part of its body is covered with scales.

Feng Yi was very suspicious that this was a scene of one of his ancestors teasing the villagers.

Hey, it’s worth studying.

If this painting was placed in the auction book, he would have set his sights on it. But it's not bad now.

Some guests joked: "Hey, buy one and get one free, Feng Yi is very lucky!"

Feng Yi nodded and said: "You are indeed lucky."

Others didn't take it seriously, and it didn't matter if they bought one and got several free. Little did he know that Feng Yi really liked this childish painting, and decided to study it with an archaeological mentality afterwards——

Learn about my ancestors who appear everywhere through folk tales.

Feng Yi spent another five million, and everyone knew that this was to make up for the previous black diamond auction.

Black Diamond's three million is still too little for this occasion. "Mingyao Auction" is not a real commercial auction, and it would be disrespectful to talk about "picking up bargains."

By the time all the auction items were taken, it was past midnight.

Almost all the guests took action, and Feng Chi also spent seven million here.

Wang Xuqin stood on the stage and concluded the auction:

"...Dreams bloom and love spreads thousands of miles. We, Mingyao, support those in need to realize their dreams, such as students who have difficulty studying, or those who are talented but face difficult conditions..."

“Sincerely thank you all for coming to participate in this fundraising event of Mingyao!”

After Wang Xuqin finished speaking, the guests also said:

"Brother Xu, you're welcome!"

"Happy to help!"

As he spoke, loud applause erupted.

However, Wang Xuqin, standing on the stage, had some subtleties hidden under his perfect smile.

I always felt that these applauses did not mean much recognition, but sounded like...a slap in the face.

When Feng Yi took pictures of Black Diamond, these people were having fun, right? Are you all laughing secretly in your heart?

Oh, quite a few of them were blatantly laughing out loud.

These people are not good people!

One is Feng Chi and the other is Feng Yi. They always feel that they are not compatible with the aura of these two people named Feng. Wang Xuqin has to think carefully about whether and how to invite them next year.

It's hard to say Feng Yi, but Feng Chi... Never let guests come for things like warm-up, they are too easy to turn around and make the decision!

The auction ended and the guests were free to move around. Feng Yi declined their invitation to the night event and returned to the guest room with the items he had acquired today.

Putting the painting aside for now, Feng Yi took the black diamond and looked at it carefully.

Energy substances can respond, but they are different from the diamonds that his ancestors had polished their feet with before.

Moreover, it is not just a surface reaction. Further research is needed.

He is eager to study it, but this is not a good place for research.

It is not convenient in the city. If you make a fuss, you will be easily targeted. There are already many people paying attention to him during this period, so it is better to find a quiet place and boldly study it.

The island is good.

By the way, visit Xiao Xin and let Xiao Xin meet the new colleague.

Making a plan, Feng Yi put the black diamond away and took the childish painting "archaeology".

The next day, the yacht carrying guests returned.

When getting off the yacht, many guests were in low spirits. This is because they had fun all night.

Back to the hotel, except for those who were catching up on sleep in the hotel, other guests left one after another.

Feng Yi and Feng Chi went downstairs together.

"You can drive the sports car back directly. I have other arrangements for the next few days, and my schedule may not match yours." Feng Yi said.

"Okay! Hehehe, I've been craving it for a long time!"

Feng Chi asked his assistant to drive his own car back, and he drove Feng Yi's supercar.

Although there was no Feng Yi's smart watch, which was the "one-person-only" master control terminal, some functions could not be used, but it was enough to satisfy curiosity and quench cravings.

"Which car are you taking?" Feng Chi asked.

"There is also a business car." Feng Yi said.

Xiao Jia has already driven the car over.

"Oh. Wait, there are still things in my car that I haven't taken." Feng Yi opened the door of the sports car and leaned in to search.

Not far away, another group of people also came out of the elevator.

Jin Li was talking to someone, and when he saw Feng Yi's movements, he said to the person next to him, "I'll make a call," and then walked aside, holding his mobile phone and pretending, but his attention was always on Feng Yi.

The door of Feng Yi's sports car was open, and Jin Li could see Feng Yi's movements inside.

Looking at the posture, he should be searching in the hidden storage slot.

Looking at Feng Chi's reaction, Jin Li could guess roughly. Since he was going to lend the car out, he would definitely empty the things inside, right?

What exactly is it?

While guessing, Feng Yi took a few packaging bags with nozzles from the car.

"What is this?" Feng Chi was curious.

"Brain supplement packs. Writing supplementary materials is too brain-intensive, so I need to supplement it. Here, two bags for you."

Sensing Jin Li's overly concerned gaze, Feng Yi looked over.

Jin Li responded with an awkward but polite smile.

He thought he had misunderstood Feng Yi.

Just as he was about to leave, Jin Li saw Feng Yi walking towards a black commercial vehicle that was driving over. The car looked extremely stable and heavy.

Jin Li had studied this kind of modification before, and he could see at a glance some details that were worth studying in depth.

Is this security level too high?

Does Feng Yi really need a car of this level?

While thinking, Jin Li saw a big guy who was strong and looked like a bear, coming out of the car, with sharp eyes and a murderous look.

Jin Li was dragged.

Is this also Feng Yi's bodyguard?

I haven't seen him before, but it is obvious that this person is very familiar with the other people who follow Feng Yi, and they are familiar with each other after working together for a long time.

Maybe this person is the hidden strength?

No wonder some people say that the best fighters are underwater and don't show up easily.

However, Jin Li's eyes were not too much on this strong man, but on the strange box he was carrying.

I saw that this warrior with questionable professionalism walked to the rear of the car with the box on his back and carefully put the long box in the trunk.

This scene made Jin Li have some bad associations again. I always feel that there is a powerful weapon inside.

Did he really misunderstand Feng Yi?

Is it possible that he didn't misunderstand?

Jin Li was brainstorming.

On Feng Yi's side, inside the car.

"Why is Xiao Bing here?" Feng Yi asked.

Xiao Bing put away the box and returned to the car. Hearing Feng Yi's question, he said:

"I went to pick up the newly customized kitchenware today. I happened to pass by here. I heard from Xiao Jia that your ship is about to arrive, so I came to pick you up."

He handed over a cold snack.

The car slowly drove out of the basement. The car window was not closed tightly. Feng Yi could still hear the loud voices of several guests.

Looking over, it seemed that the friend of the guest came to find him.

The friend's words were a bit sour because he could not participate in the Mingyao event.

The guest did not care, but put his hand on his friend's shoulder:

"It's a pity that you can't participate! Hahaha, this Mingyao event is so interesting, there is so much fun!"

Those who did not receive the invitation did not care about the sourness at this time, and came over, like a badger jumping in a melon field:

"Tell me more!"

Feng Yi closed the car window.

I can't hear it, so it's not me.
