Chapter 80 Gossip Night
It was a cloudy day, and drizzle began to fall as night fell. Lu Qingfei wore a dark windbreaker, but still felt cold, so he wrapped himself in a scarf and took a taxi to the art exhibition hall.

When we drove nearby, we saw that the old trees on both sides of the road were nearly a hundred years old, and the buildings had changed from high-rise buildings in the city center to old villas.

The lobby, which is specially used as an auction venue, is oval in shape and three stories high. The surface of the building is covered with rain, which ripples under the reflection of lights.

The drizzle illuminated by the street lights looked like pearls falling off a string. Lu Qingfei looked up at the three big words "Art Museum" through the rain and was in a trance for a moment.

She blinked, the mist on her long eyelashes dissipated, her eyes became clear again, and she walked in slowly.

Normally, you must first register as a bidder, pay a deposit and receive a bidding number plate before you can participate in the on-site auction.

Jin Yu knew someone at the auction, and Lu Qingfei, by chance, took a shortcut and got the bidding number plate.

The auction room has a simple layout, with a podium and microphone on the stage, and a large screen at the back and small screens on both sides that electronically display the auction items in all aspects.

The people in the auction hall were either dressed in suits or elegant and noble. Lu Qingfei had no intention of observing others and just sat down.

The ceiling is inlaid with cold white lights, and the seating design is more like a table and chair combination in a conference hall, which is relatively spacious and bright.

There are folded auction cards on the table. The first page briefly introduces the history of the auction, the second page explains the significance of the auction, and the third and fourth pages are the items to be auctioned tonight.

Only eight items were shown and sold in one night, which is very rare for an auction house.

But this is also one of the characteristics of Haicheng Art Museum.

Regarding auction items: it is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.

To bidders: It’s up to you.

The main point is that a sister is noble, and the one who comes is a brother.

Lu Qingfei was casually browsing the cards when someone suddenly called her, "Hey, aren't you the one with a boyfriend..."

Lu Qingfei looked up, his gaze still had substance and was sharp and piercing.

Zhou Jinghuai swallowed the words back when they were about to come out of his mouth.

Lu Qingfei recognized him, his eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou."

"You remember me?" Zhou Jinghuai was surprised.

Lu Qingfei nodded: "Thank you last time."

"You are welcome."

Zhou Jinghuai sat down next to her, looked around and asked, "Alone?"

Lu Qingfei hummed.

really!

The boyfriend is not paying attention and doesn’t even know that his girlfriend is being thought of by someone else!

If you don’t wear this green hat, who will?

With such a good opportunity, why doesn't Mr. Jiang come to poach people?!

...He can't come! If he comes, I'll die!
Countless romantic news flashed through Zhou Jinghuai's mind. Appearance reflects the heart, and his pair of peach blossom eyes became more affectionate.

The auction officially begins.

The auctioneer exchanged a few pleasantries and formally introduced today's auction items.

“The first lot to be auctioned is the painting An Tai Song by the late Chinese painting master Qi Kexin, which contains four elements: green pine, crane, sun and water.”

The auctioneer introduced slowly: "Master Qi's extraordinary painting skills have brought out simple elements, showing his wish for peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and the feeling of long-lasting happiness in the world."

Zhou Jinghuai glanced at Lu Qingfei and saw that she kept her brows lowered and focused on the bidding list. He couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Lu, which auction item are you here for today?"

He was most interested in gossip about Jiang Heng, so he found out Lu Qingfei's name from Director Gu last time.

"I came here for Master Qian Baozhu's "Smoke, Rain and Snow."

Lu Qingfei pointed at the list with his slender white fingers. Zhou Jinghuai looked and saw an oil painting called "Muse".

Just at this moment, the auctioneer talked about this painting.

"Lu Shilan is the only disciple of Master Qi Kexin. He was once praised as the ancient Greek god in charge of Chinese painting for his superb skills."

"It's a pity that God is jealous of his talent, and not many paintings are left to the world. Today's painting, titled "Muse", is his first oil painting and also his last painting."

Everyone was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the painter died at a young age.

However, precisely because he was deceased, the paintings were sold at sky-high prices.

"What's the difference between Chinese painting and oil painting?" The girl who was sitting next to Zhou Jinghuai and wearing a mask and waking up from a nap asked blankly. The voice sounded familiar, and Lu Qingfei turned his head to look for it, and met a pair of almond eyes that were as bright as pearls.

The other person's slightly dilated pupils seemed to be saying, what a ghost seeing so late at night!

Zhou Jinghuai was about to tell Jiang Chi the gossip that Lu Qingfei was your uncle, but before he could open his mouth, Jiang Chi said, "Fei Bao?"

Zhou Jinghuai was full of doubts.

Lu Qingfei's gaze moved from Jiang Chi to Zhou Jinghuai, and then from Zhou Jinghuai to Jiang Chi.

The same brand-name windbreaker, a couple's outfit.

She seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"The difference is quite clear. Chinese painting uses lines as the main expression method, emphasizing brush and ink, while oil painting uses colors as the main expression method, emphasizing light and shadow."

Lu Qingfei answered Jiang Chi's previous question: "Chinese painting focuses on the use of ink, which makes objects show light and shadow effects and three-dimensionality. Oil painting focuses on the use of perspective to make objects more realistic and three-dimensional."

The shock in Jiang Chi's eyes seemed to be semi-permanent and had not yet disappeared.

"I see! I've learned your lesson!"

This time Zhou Jinghuai knew that her name was Lu Qingfei.

The two of them moved closer and whispered openly under Lu Qingfei's gaze.

"She is the one your uncle wants to poach."

"She was the one who helped me convince my uncle to invest."

"?"

"?"

Confused on both faces.

The bidding for "Muse" was still going on and had already reached six figures. Lu Qingfei raised the seven-digit card without hesitation.

Not only did everyone find it unbelievable, the auctioneer also found it incredible.

Lu Shilan's oil paintings are far less valuable than his Chinese paintings, so a six-digit price is already high enough.

The price is actually seven figures!
There was still a spark of hope in the bidder's heart, but it was extinguished at this moment when he failed to make a comeback.

Six-figure artist, seven-figure sucker.

Whoever wants to be the sucker can be the sucker!

"Three, two, one. Deal!"

When the auctioneer dropped the hammer.

Jiang Chi, who was feeling both surprised and sleepy, was suddenly woken up by the knock.

She exchanged places with Zhou Jinghuai, moved closer to Lu Qingfei, and whispered, "What a coincidence, do you want to have dinner together later?"

Lu Qingfei looked tactful and spoke tactfully: "You can eat, but being a light bulb is fine."

“…It’s not what you think.” Jiang Chi felt that he couldn’t wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Lu Qingfei: "What do I think?"

Jiang Chi: "Boyfriend and girlfriend."

Lu Qingfei became interested: "Isn't it?"

"No."

Jiang Chi said: "We are just closer than childhood sweethearts, but still one step away from being boyfriend and girlfriend."

Lu Qingfei followed her words and asked: "Which step?"

Jiang Chi muttered: "The step of being public."

Lu Qingfei sincerely encouraged: "Come on, the finish line is just ahead."

Jiang Chi begged: "Can you keep it a secret for me and don't tell my uncle?"

Lu Qingfei said: "I'm not familiar with your uncle."

What I meant was that it wasn't to the point of gossiping.

Jiang Chi said: "Uncle knows you very well!"
