The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 118

One of the important reasons why Xuan Sheng disliked the first two paintings by famous painters was because the paintings were too plain.

Master Su Qian's Phoenix Wearing Peony was extremely graceful and luxurious. Bamboo ink Master Lin Yu also had a style.

However, Xuan Sheng felt that something was missing.

When he saw Yuan Wanxia's ancient pine painting slowly open on the screen, Xuan Sheng's eyes twinkled.

This was an ancient pine painting, but it was different from the ancient pine painting Xuan Sheng had seen.

The painting uses white powder as snow, tree heads and reeds to reach the top, sand feet as gold powder, and broken ink to show gentle sunlight after snow.

The entire scene was cold and sparse, with a light accumulation of snow. The sight of small boats and fishing fishermen formed a beautiful landscape in the cold forest.

The scenery was slightly covered in snow and fog, giving it a gloomy atmosphere in early winter. However, there is no shortage of rich life interests.

The scenery behind was filled with ancient pine trees decorated with ink. The pine needles are sharp with brushes, heavy with hooks, and the scratches are very beautiful and clear.

It was mainly dyed with water-based ink and ink. On ancient pine leaves, the top is powder or gold coated. After a small snowfall, there was still a view of the sunlight on the old pine tree.

The old ancient pine had a gloomy feeling in its historical literature.

On the other hand, Yuan Wanxia's painting not only drew ancient pines but also combined the old ancient pine with the warm sunshine of the fishing village, making one feel the endless vitality of this painting.

Moreover, Yuan Wanxia's paintings were very experienced in drawing. Even every blow revealed a relaxed ease.

"This one." Xuan Sheng's eyes were filled with interest.

"Alright, then let's start the auction for today's third work. The starting price of this 'Ancient Pine Fisherman Painting' from Yuan Wanxia is 1 million!"

"1.2 million."

"1.3 million."

"1.5 million."

"2 million."

Everyone in the ordinary hall downstairs started bidding. Xuan Sheng and Jun Shiling did not move.

When the bid reaches two million, no one raises the bid again.

"Alright, number 15 bids 2 million. Is there anyone higher than him? 2 Million go once, 2 million go twice." The host's hammer almost fell.

The offer came from the VIP room upstairs.

"2.5 million."

"OK, VIP room 1 bids 2.5 million. Is there anything higher?"

Xuan Sheng originally wanted to wait for the final offer. Who would have thought that someone would have the same thought as him? He looked at the VIP room 1 opposite him and pressed the bid button.

"2.8 million."

"Okay, VIP room 2 bids 2.8 million. Is there anything higher?"

"Three million dollars."

"3.5 million."

"4 million."

"4.5 million."

Seeing that VIP Room 2 was raising the price step by step, Jun Shiling's gaze deepened as he pressed the price button. "10 million."

This caused a commotion at the auction.

The initial price of a million dollars has actually increased tenfold. Furthermore, Yuan Wanxia was a name that no one had ever heard of. No one knew why his paintings could be sold at such an expensive price.

In private room 2, Xuan Sheng saw 10 million dollars suddenly soaring and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Even though he liked this painting, he did not need to spend ten million dollars. He immediately gave up on the thought of continuing to bid.

"Alright, VIP room 1 has bid 10 million. Is there anything higher than 10 million? 10 Million go once, 10 million go twice, 10 million go three times! Let's congratulate VIP room 2 for getting this "Central Pine Fishing Map" by Yuan Wanxia!"

Until the end of the auction, no one knew who the mysterious guest who had bought this ten million dollar painting was.

However, extravagant actions such as doubling the price to the other party still led to heated discussions.

The world of calligraphy and painting that did not appear in public this time of year received a lot of attention this time.

The trending topic "painting Yuan Wanxia worth 10 million" quickly caught everyone's attention.

Everyone was interested in ten million dollars and entered the trending topic.

There is news about the auction being a trending topic. "The mysterious buyer bought Yuan Wanxia's 'Central Pine Fishing Map' for a high price of ten million dollars, setting an auction record for paintings this year!"

The accompanying image was a huge 'surprise.

[The thesis, is this the way the rich play? ]

[Ten million for a painting?!!!! You crazy? Can't you donate so much money to the mountains as a public service? The rich have no conscience. ]

[People in front, do you hate the rich? How do you know they haven't donated money? ]

[As a person who studies art, I don't think there is a famous painter named Yuan Wanxia in the world of painting. Why are his paintings so expensive? ]

[I heard that Master Su Qian's and Master Lin Yu's paintings were auctioned at the same time. Their paintings are just under five million dollars. How could Yuan Wanxia be sold at such a high price? Could he be borrowing an auction to launder money? ]

At this moment, everyone was just watching the fun. On the one hand, they were surprised by the high price of ten million dollars. On the other hand, they were curious about what kind of painting Yuan Wanxia had drawn.

It was only when the marketing account followed Yuan Wanxia's terms and found a long article posted and re-posted by Qian Yan that things became more complicated.

From this article it is mentioned that Yuan Wanxia, the painter, first appeared in the eyes of everyone. It's only been a month or so.

The first peach painting sold for 200,000 dollars. The second time it appeared, it sold for 1,000,000 dollars.

On the other hand, the third appearance which is also this time the "Central Pine Fishing Map", actually jumped to 10 million.

Combining the contents of the Qian Yan article, Yuan Wanxia was like the biggest classic in the Qian Yan article. He has all the conditions to criticise.

[Eating melons. I always thought that the world of painting and calligraphy was more aloof and arrogant. I don't expect so many dirty things. ]

[This jump is too fast. The first time, it was 200,000. The second time, it was 1,000,000. The third time, it was 10,000,000. Justjust wonderful. I think only the entertainment industry falsifies data. I did not expect that there was such a thing in the world of painting and calligraphy. ]

[I wonder what kind of painting could sell for ten million dollars? Is that a real buyer? Or is it fake data? ]

[I can't believe that someone actually spent so much money buying a painting drawn by an unknown person. Even Master Su Qian's painting at the auction back then wasn't sold at such a high price. ]

Seeing that Qian Yan, who was certified as a famous painter on Weibo, had criticized the data for being falsified, and that Yuan Wanxia's data was indeed strange, all netizens supported Qian Yan on Weibo.

The world of painting and calligraphy is a very pure world at the heart of society. Qian Yan's article had made them realize that they could be played like this. Wasn't this a huge blow to a painter who had real talent and ability? Therefore, everyone spontaneously took action and continued to repost Qian Yan's articles, sharing them up to 100,000 times.

Just as everyone was cursing and guessing this unknown Yuan Wanxia, a very important official Weibo post published a post.

As Bai Lian looked at the door anxiously, the CEOs who were drinking, playing, and playing at the table became serious after receiving the phone call.

Bai Lian thought that this CEO Xuan might be a big investor.

Following several small investors, a group of people walked towards the next room.

"Hello, CEO Xuan." Some of the presidents who took the lead bowed and nodded as they entered. Bai Lian also bowed.

"Please sit down." To Bai Lian's surprise, the voice of this big investor, who was supported with respect, turned out to be very young.

As everyone sat on the sofa, Bai Lian looked up. The man in the main seat was very handsome. The white shirt makes it look charming.

Xuan Sheng rubbed his brows and felt his heart start to move again. He looked at the person in front of him more impatiently.

"How's that?"

CEO Li gestured for Bai Lian to sit beside Xuan Sheng. Bai Lian stood up and approached Xuan Sheng.

Xuan Sheng, who was already feeling a little depressed, frowned as he smelled the strong fragrance of Bai Lian's perfume.

"Don't come."

Bai Lian could only retreat in embarrassment and anger.

"CEO Xuan, look at this project. It's just been developed by us." CEO Li glanced at Bai Lian and handed the project proposal to Xuan Sheng.

Bai Lian stepped aside and sent a message to Xia Wanyuan.

"I'm at the door."

Seeing Xia Wanyuan's reply, Bai Lian finally relaxed and nodded at CEO Li.

"CEO Xuan, look at this proposal first. Someone is coming. You should have fun before you leave today."

Xuan Sheng had often stopped taking his medicine these few days. He didn't take her when he left this morning. Now, his hand holding the project proposal tightened slightly. He felt that the turmoil in his heart was constantly looking for a breakthrough and wanted to get out of his body.

Xuan Sheng glanced at the plan and pursed his lips. "Is that everything?" He stood up and wanted to leave.

CEO Li's expression changed and he hurriedly pulled Xuan Sheng back. However, before his hands could touch Xuan Sheng, he was frightened by his cold gaze. He hurriedly pulled his hand.

"CEO Xuan, what is it that makes you dissatisfied? Let's discuss it again."

"What needs to be discussed for this trash?" Xuan Sheng raised his leg to leave, but CEO Li did not dare to stop him.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Xia Wanyuan originally thought Bai Lian was the only one who invited her. He didn't expect so many people. From the looks of it, they might want him to accompany a capitalist like Supervisor Jin was playing around.

However, he did not expect to meet someone he knew.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Xuan Sheng, then at the room filled with celebrities and young models. His eyebrows slightly raised.

"Yuan Yuan, you're here. Hurry up, come in and introduce everyone. This is my best friend, Xia Wanyuan." Bai Lian walked to the door and wanted to hold Xia Wanyuan's arm. Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan pushed her hand and walked in.

"Miss Xia is so pretty." Seeing Xuan Sheng staring at Xia Wanyuan without blinking, CEO Li stopped. He thinks there's a chance.

"CEO Xuan, let's give Beauty Xia face and stay a while before leaving."

Xuan Sheng sat back on the sofa.

"Come, Miss Xia, sit here." CEO Li pointed at the chair beside Xuan Sheng, but Xia Wanyuan ignored him and sat down on the sofa.

"Here, Miss Xia, drink it." CEO Li poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

"Aren't people supposed to invite me to pour wine for me?" Xia Wanyuan's expression was cold, and she did not even look towards CEO Li.

"Come, Bai Lian, come here. Pour Miss Xia a glass of wine." CEO Li waved. Bai Lian gritted her teeth and forced a smile. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.

"I wonder if CEO Li has heard some rumors about me?" Xia Wanyuan did not receive the wine glass. Instead, he asked Bai Lian to hold a wine glass as he spoke to CEO Li.

"What rumors?" CEO Li was a little confused.

"I'm very arrogant and have a bad temper." Xia Wanyuan scolded herself word by word, causing everyone to be confused.

"Especially because I have a bad habit of liking others to my knees and toast me."

"You!" When Xia Wanyuan said this, Bai Lian's eyes burned with anger.

"I think Miss Xia's habits are pretty good."

Xuan Sheng smiled when he heard that. This Xia Wanyuan really did not suffer any losses. Bai Lian had trapped him, but she made him kneel down and proposed a toast.

"Yes yes." Seeing Xuan Sheng say so, CEO Li followed and looked at Bai Lian with a threatening look.

There was nothing Bai Lian could do. He still relied on CEO Li to give his resources away, so he could only endure the humiliation and kneel before Xia Wanyuan. He handed the wine glass to Xia Wanyuan.

"Please."

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Bai Lian with cold eyes. This Bai Lian had deceived the original owner of the body and caused the Xia family to go bankrupt. Now, he was using it as a friend to exchange benefits.

If this person was in the Xia Dynasty, he would probably be beheaded many times.

Xia Wanyuan took the cup from Bai Lian. Just as Bai Lian was about to stand up, she splashed an entire cup of wine onto her face.

"Xia Wanyuan, you!" Bai Lian felt her eyes burn. He's in a sorry state. He immediately reached out to slap Xia Wanyuan, but Xia Wanyuan grabbed her wrist.

"You won't be so lucky when you conspire against me." Xia Wanyuan leaned closer to Bai Lian and whispered to her. The coldness of his tone made Bai Lian's heart tremble.

After speaking, Xia Wanyuan released Bai Lian's hand. Bai Lian lost her balance and fell to the ground. No one around dared to help him.

Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. This person looked very beautiful, but they did not expect him to be so cruel.

Among the people present, only Xuan Sheng could laugh.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting quietly as if nothing could affect him, Xuan Sheng rubbed his earrings and the corners of his lips curved up. This woman, Xia Wanyuan, is my cup of tea.

"All right, you can all go. Miss Xia and I have something to talk about." Xuan Sheng suddenly spoke.

"What do you think of this project?"

"Leave it here. I'll consider it."

"Okay, then please continue." CEO Li is pleased that his goal has been achieved. He hurriedly took his men away. No one came forward to help Bai Lian stand up, so she could only struggle to get up from the ground.

He looked at Xia Wanyuan with jealousy and anger before leaving the room.

"Miss Xia." Xuan Sheng poured a glass of water for Xia Wanyuan. "I really don't know about what happened today."

"M." Xia Wanyuan knew.

Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan's beautiful side profile and his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to say something, he felt his mind suddenly become muddled and pain surging like a needle.
