Chapter 75 - Light up the sky for her

In the brightly lit conference hall, there was a bustling crowd, and a grand charity auction was being held here. As the host's enthusiastic opening remarks gradually heated up, the much-anticipated moment finally arrived - Si Shenxing, the helmsman of S Group, stepped onto the stage. Unlike those business leaders who gave lengthy speeches, Si Shenxing's words were concise and powerful, and he announced the official start of the charity auction in just a few words. Everyone present knew that every move of Si Shenxing contained deep meaning, so this auction was not only a contest of financial strength, but also a test of vision and strategy. Du Zhengguo, as a representative of the Du family, although not out of sincerity, also symbolically participated in several rounds of bidding to show his attitude to Si Shenxing. S Group is no longer comparable to the former Xia family. Its prominent status makes the Du family dare not easily make enemies, and only wants to find opportunities for cooperation in a win-win situation. At the auction, all kinds of heroes competed to bid, just to leave a deep impression in front of Si Shenxing. In the conference hall, the bidding sounded one after another, and it was very lively. However, when Master Jiangshan's work "A Corner of Broken Stone" appeared in front of everyone, the whole venue was instantly boiling. This painting not only carries the value of art, but also becomes the focus of everyone's pursuit. Xia Liuli, a woman who has no special preference for calligraphy and painting, is yearning for it because she knows the meaning behind this painting. Her master, Master Zhao Ti, is a loyal fan and disciple of Jiangshan. This painting as a gift will definitely make her master look at her with new eyes. So, Xia Liuli quietly acted like a spoiled child to Du Haoran beside her. Du Haoran, a young and promising business elite, has always been generous with money. He looked at Xia Liuli lovingly, and then raised his sign to bid. Just as the bidding entered a white-hot stage, a mysterious figure walked onto the stage. He was Si Shenxing's right-hand man Huo Gang. Huo Gang whispered a few words in the host's ear, and the host nodded. Then the two emcees lit a delicate little lantern and walked onto the stage. "Mr. Huo Gang lights up the sky for "A Corner of Broken Stone"!" The host's high-pitched voice echoed in the venue. As soon as this was said, the originally noisy venue fell into silence. Even Du Haoran, who was determined to win, put down his bidding card with a look of astonishment. Seeing this, Xia Liuli was full of doubts. She gently pulled Du Haoran's sleeve: "Haoran, why don't you shoot? What does lighting up the sky mean? Why don't others shoot?" Before she could explain, a girl next to her sneered: "Master Du, what kind of female companions are you looking for? You haven't even heard of lighting up the sky? Are you from the countryside?" The girl's words made Xia Liuli's face turn red instantly. She was afraid that Du Haoran would dislike her because of this. But Du Haoran was not provoked. He explained gently: "Liuli is not a country girl. It's just that I will buy her whatever she wants directly, so she has never participated in the auction." The girl's face froze when she heard this, and then she got up and left. Xia Liuli secretly felt lucky that Du Haoran was not influenced by her. At the same time, she became curious about the identity of the girl. "Haoran, do you know that girl?" Xia Liuli asked tentatively. Du Haoran shook his head slightly: "No, but I met her at the dinner of the cooperative project yesterday. She is from Yuecheng and has been cooperating with our Du family recently." Xia Liuli nodded, but she was afraid. She understood that the reason why the girl was so rude to her was probably because she had a crush on Du Haoran. Fortunately, Du Haoran's heart was still with her, otherwise she would easily be snatched away by another woman. Thinking of this, Xia Liuli became more determined to shoot "A Corner of Broken Stone". However, the MC on the stage had confirmed that no one in the audience would bid again, and took the painting away. The next auction item was a painting by a foreign painter. Du Haoran took the opportunity to explain to Xia Liuli the meaning of "lighting up the sky". In the auction, this means that no matter how much others bid, the lighter will increase the price infinitely on this basis until no one dares to bid again. Xia Liuli heard this and widened his eyes: "That means, even if we bid 100 million, he will bid more than 100 million to buy the item?" Du Haoran nodded: "That's right. Those who dare to light up the sky are naturally not afraid of other people's bidding. Those who don't have this confidence don't dare to try it easily." Xia Liuli lowered her head and said with some self-blame: "I don't even know this. Am I embarrassing you?" Du Haoran shook his head gently: "I have participated in countless auctions over the years, and this is the second time I have seen someone light up the sky. It's no wonder you don't know." "Have you seen it before? Who lit the lights?" Xia Liuli asked curiously. "Si Shenxing." Du Haoran answered meaningfully. Xia Liuli subconsciously looked towards the first row and saw Huo Gang leaning over and whispering beside Si Shenxing. She thought to herself: "He... is Si Shenxing's man? How strange." Du Haoran seemed to see through her thoughts: "It is indeed strange. Because the last time the sky lights were lit, it was also for this "A Corner of Broken Stone." Xia Liuli was even more confused when she heard this. Lighting up the sky lights for the same painting is rare in auction history. What's more, the painting on display today was originally Si Shenxing's collection. If he wanted to keep the painting, he didn't have to auction it. But now he bought it back at a high price, what is the intention? Xia Liuli certainly didn't know that Si Shenxing's move was not a whim. In fact, he didn't know until today that Jiang Shan was Xia Zhuozhuo. He has always loved Jiang Shan's paintings, so he collected many of them. But Xia Zhuozhuo is Jiang Shan, which makes things completely different. Even if he had collected many of her paintings, he would never let anyone else bid for them. In fact, if he had known that Xia Zhuozhuo was Jiangshan, he would never have put the painting up for charity auction. Now that he knew the truth, he would naturally buy it back at a high price to show his appreciation. With Si Shenxing joining in, others naturally did not dare to bid. An hour later, the auction ended successfully. All the proceeds from the auction will be used to build Hope Primary Schools to bring knowledge and hope to children in poor areas. The host held the microphone and announced the second event of the day - the Chinese painting competition. When he said that the champion would be responsible for the appearance design and LOGO design of S Group's new products, there was an uproar at the scene. Many people only knew that the champion could get a bonus of one million, but they never expected such an attractive additional reward. Xia Liuli's heart moved, she knew that this was a rare opportunity. If she could win the competition, she could not only show her talent, but also contribute to S Group's new products. More importantly, this would be a great opportunity to show her ability to Si Shenxing. Thinking of this, Xia Liuli's eyes became firm and confident. She decided to go all out and strive to stand out in this competition. Du Haoran silently supported her from the side, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation... Xia Liuli unexpectedly learned that she had the opportunity to participate in the S Group's new energy vehicle design competition, and she was secretly delighted. People around her whispered in her ears: "This champion is so lucky to be able to create a new car logo by himself!" "If I could draw, I would definitely give it a try." She thought to herself: If I can stand out in this competition, I will be famous all over the world and become a rising star in the Chinese design industry. This sudden opportunity seemed to pave a bright road for her to reach the peak of her dream.
