570 The fight

Jiang se returned to her seat and looked at the time. There were still about fifteen minutes before the charity banquet officially began.

Mo Anqi had a helpless look on her face while Xia Chaoqun's expression remained the same.

Steinway was different from the fedarer watch that Jiang se had bought a few years ago. Their family had never employed a spokesperson before. Xia Chaoqun's previous efforts were just to get a chance.

Now that Tao cen had the ability to build a relationship with CapMan and win his admiration, it was all due to their own abilities.

The two assistants handed Jiang se a love pie. On it were the items donated by the invited guests so that she could have a rough idea of the items to be auctioned later.

Jiang se soon saw the pair of bracelets she had donated on the electronic screen. It showed that there were many people who had followed her. Clearly, many of the guests liked the pair of bracelets.

Steinway had donated a piece of musical score manuscript written by the deceased Italy composer, Amadeus, from 70 years ago. Jiang se was immediately interested when she saw it.

This manuscript had been around for many years, but it was well-preserved. As Amadeus was a world-famous talented composer and musician, most of his manuscripts were preserved in the hands of his descendants. Very few of them were circulated outside.

Therefore, his manuscripts were very valuable to many music lovers, and it was difficult to buy them even if you had money.

For Steinway to be able to donate such a manuscript at a charity party like this, it was obviously very eye-catching.

From the pictures, there were about two or three pieces of the manuscript, which were worth no less than a million.

This was especially true in tonight's charity auction. It would probably fetch a very ideal price. Jiang se did some mental calculations. The 1.6 million that Yu Wei had initially calculated for her might not be enough for her to get the manuscript. She would probably have to spend more.

It was rare for her to meet someone she liked. After making up her mind, she didn't panic when the auction officially started. She watched the auction items being auctioned off one by one. The pair of bracelets she donated was sold for 380000 Yuan in the end. At the end of the auction, the manuscript of armadeus was finally brought on stage.

Jiang SE's expression brightened. The host on stage was already following the procedure. He first thanked Steinway for presenting the manuscript before giving a simple introduction.

“One manuscript from Amadeus, and three pieces of music score. This manuscript was from Amadeus when he was young.”

The host picked up the manuscript, and the camera fell on it. The words on it appeared behind the screen so that everyone in the audience could see it.

At this moment, many people in the audience were already eager to try. The host had explained the rules of the auction. The manuscript would be sold at a starting price of 200000. Jiang se had already expected that the manuscript would be very popular. However, when the auction started, it was still beyond her expectations.

In less than fifteen minutes, the price of the manuscript had risen from 200000 to 750000. The assistant clicked her tongue and ran over with small steps. She stood at the side of the corridor and lowered her head to whisper to Jiang se, ”

“Sese, don't you want it?”

The junior Assistant's surname was Chen. She was originally a fan of Jiang SE's. When Xia Chaoqun was looking for an assistant for Jiang se, she took the opportunity to break out of the crowd of competitors and work for Jiang se. She took good care of her. Earlier, she noticed that Jiang se was looking at Adeus's manuscript. When she saw that the price of the manuscript was rising, she became a little anxious.

“No rush.” Jiang se shook her head. This was the moment when everyone was fighting to get their hands on the item. There was not much point in bidding now.

She explained to her assistant in a soft voice, ”

“When the price reaches a million later, there will be fewer people competing.”

As the price rose, many people who didn't have a strong desire for Amadeus's manuscript would gradually give up. Those who stayed were the ones who really wanted to collect it.

However, the value of this manuscript varied among people. Jiang se gave it some thought. If Tao cen was a smart person, there was a high chance that she would be able to get her hands on this manuscript.

Song Yi, who was sitting on the other side of the VIP seats, was also talking to Tao cen.

“Sister Tao, how many people do you think will bid for Amadeus's manuscript in the end? Will the price exceed our budget?”

Tao cen had the intention to take over Steinway's business. She had to get her hands on the manuscript that Steinway had presented tonight.

Money was nothing to Tao cen, but it was not easy to earn CapMan's favor with dignity.

the price is for the financial planner to worry about, not me. Tao cen looked at the cards that were raised from time to time and smiled.

it's hard to say how many people will be there in the end, but Jiang se will definitely be there.

Both of them were very interested in Steinway. She would not miss such an opportunity, and neither would Jiang se.

When she spoke, Song Yi could not help but look in Jiang SE's direction. Under the light, Jiang se could be seen sitting in the front row on the other side. Her hands were crossed on her lap as she stared at the screen seriously. Up until now, Jiang se had not made any bids for the manuscript.

will Jiang se be bidding too? ” Song Yi asked. Tao cen had been trying to nurture him recently, so when he heard Song Yi's question, he smiled.

“Let's see who can get it!”

After the manuscript's bid reached 900000, the number of people who raised the bid gradually decreased.

The three manuscripts of Amadeus donated by Steinway were precious, but after they exceeded a million, the people who wanted to collect them became much more cautious.

After 1.6 million, there were only two people left.

Mo Anqi squatted down beside her and whispered, ”

the two parties that are still competing with each other are eisen group and SA technology. Both of them have cooperation with Steinway.

When she said this, Jiang se understood that when the price of the three manuscripts from Amadeus exceeded 1.6 million, those who were in the know had stopped bidding. They were not going to bid anymore.

However, in the eyes of the head of Steinway, CapMan, it was clear that the value of art could not be summed up with just 1.6 million. Therefore, both companies that had a partnership with Steinway had made their moves separately in an attempt to raise the value of this armadeus manuscript.

At this moment, it would be much easier for Jiang se to get the manuscript if she took action again.

She raised a card and entered her expected price on the operating screen.

When many people who were competing for the manuscript had stopped raising their placards, Jiang SE's sudden raising of her placards had clearly attracted the attention of many people.

The host on the stage shouted excitedly, ”

“One million seven hundred thousand!” It caused an uproar.

The person-in-charge of Steinway turned around and looked in Jiang SE's direction. He waved at her from a distance with a smile.

The manuscript's market price was around a million Yuan. Even if it was auctioned for charity tonight, 1.7 million Yuan was a bit surprising.

As soon as the host finished speaking, Xiao Zhang from the media section of China Information muttered to himself, ”

Jiang SE's so willful. She spent so much money just to buy three pieces of draft paper? ”

“She must really like art.”

Yu Zilin's eyes widened as well. She replied softly, ” otherwise, Steinway wouldn't have sent her that invitation for their 30th anniversary in China. I heard that she's pretty good at playing the piano too.

Before she could finish her sentence, everyone thought that no one would be able to continue bidding after the manuscript reached 1.7 million. Who knew that the next moment, someone else raised his sign to bid.

Xiao Zhang gasped and pushed her away, unable to say a word.

Yu Zilin pushed the mirror stand on her face and followed Xiao Zhang's hand gesture. The person who raised the sign was sitting in the first row of the VIP seats at tonight's charity banquet. He should be an important person invited by ” the style of the times.

Before she could see who it was, she heard the host say excitedly, ”

“One million eight hundred thousand!”

“Tao cen is also bidding.”

The moment little Zhang said this, the entire media section was in an uproar!

does Tao cen really like Amadeus's manuscript, or is he competing with Jiang se on purpose? ”

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask Yu Zilin excitedly. Yu Zilin shook her head in a daze.

After Tao cen raised his card, it was obvious that he would not let the matter rest.

Xia Chaoqun frowned. Beside Jiang se, Liu Ye pursed his lips and subconsciously turned to look at Jiang se.

Tao cen's actions had pushed Jiang se into a difficult position. If she continued to compete, the news tomorrow would definitely reveal that they had been fighting over a manuscript.

As a result, Jiang SE's competition with her senior would cause her to be attacked by Tao cen's fans. At the same time, some Chinese netizens would probably think that her personality was too extreme and that she had gone a little too far. She would lose some of the favorable impression that the people had of her if they were not her fans.

After all, Tao cen had been famous for many years. She had a much deeper Foundation than Jiang se.

If Jiang se let go now, although it would not look good on her and it would cause the scene of her still submitting to Tao cen at the charity banquet, her ‘admission of defeat' would also indirectly prove that she ‘acknowledged' that her status was still inferior to Tao cen's. Even if the media wanted to make groundless accusations, they would not be able to do anything about it.

Tao cen's fans might mock her if the news was exposed, but it was better than people thinking that she was arrogant.

Liu Ye and Jiang se had worked together in two shows. He believed that he had some understanding of Jiang SE's personality.

She was very smart and knew how to judge the situation. She should understand the principle of temporarily enduring anger.

He thought that Jiang se did not need his reminder. She would not have a direct confrontation with Tao cen in public either. To his surprise, while he was still thinking about this, Jiang se raised her paddle again. Liu Ye was stunned.

“You're so silly!”

He did not expect Jiang se to continue fighting with Tao cen for the manuscript. Even if she really liked it, there was no need for her to spend so much money on it in such an occasion.

After asking around, she found out that the money was enough for her to buy other Amadeus manuscripts.

Jiang SE's head was lowered as she entered her bid seriously. The light from the screen shone on her face. Her exquisite and flawless makeup made her look cold and beautiful when she was not smiling.

“What's wrong?”

Jiang se seemed to have noticed Liu Ye's gaze. After she had lost the amount she expected, she looked up at Liu Ye and asked him softly with a smile.

The host on the stage seemed to be stunned by Jiang SE's actions. He paused for two seconds before he said, ”

“Two million!”

‘Hiss!' Many people in the venue gasped when they heard the price.

When Yu Zilin heard the emcee's bid, she wondered if Jiang se had gone mad.

If Tao cen stopped competing, Jiang se would inevitably be labeled as a bully. If Tao cen continued to compete, the ‘dispute' between the two female stars of century Galaxy, which had been a hot topic for a long time, would be seen by everyone.

Either way, it was not in Jiang SE's favor. She had finally made it this far. She had been living in fear and trepidation because of her work. Why was she losing her cool now?

Mo Anqi was a little anxious as well. She noticed that Xia Chaoqun's expression had turned serious.

Xia Chaoqun wasn't usually angry, but at this moment, the disapproval in her eyes was clear.

Although mo Anqi did not like Tao cen because of Jiang se, she was rational enough to know that this was not the time to fight Tao cen head-on.

When could they not fight in private? why did they have to put their conflicts on the table?

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, no matter how anxious she was, she could only desperately signal to Jiang se with her eyes.

“Sister Tao?”

When Song Yi heard Jiang SE's offer, which was as Tao cen had wished, he either heaved a sigh of relief or became even more nervous.

He knew that every pair of eyes around him was watching this scene. After tonight, the entire newspaper would be reporting everything that happened in front of him.

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous and focused, but Song Yi could hear the breathing of everyone around him and the shutter sound of people in the media section taking out their phones to secretly take photos.

“Do you still want to bid?”

In just a few short breaths, Song Yi felt that his clenched fists were covered in sweat. He was still a little excited, but Tao cen was much calmer in comparison.

“Why not?”

Tao cen replied with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Jiang se took the bait as she had wished. If she stopped now, the scene would end too early.

While she was happy, she also felt a little regretful.

In reality, Xia Chaoqun had chosen to guide Jiang se wholeheartedly and had brought her to where she was today in just a few years because she truly saw Jiang se as a worthy opponent.

She was robbed of her role in ” the lost city ” by him, and she was set up by him once, but she did not make a scene in the company, nor did she complain to anyone. Instead, she silently endured it. When she saw him, she was still polite and gentle, as if nothing had happened.

However, she had secretly won the honor of being the first spokesperson of fedarer in China and had also gained Chesare's favor. She had quietly pushed Laura out of the way and become the female lead of the big production ” God's salvation ” that Chesare had taken up the role of.

She could even poach a part of the Elysees car brand that she had endorsed for ten years.

Tao cen actually saw Jiang se in a new light. She even felt that her fighting spirit and ambition were rising. However, she did not expect Jiang se to lose her cool.

Perhaps he was too young and always took his pride too seriously.

Her previous impression of Jiang se might have been an illusion.

Xia Chaoqun was too impressive. That was why she was able to suppress Jiang se when Tao cen was not around. She managed to handle everything well.

However, at the charity banquet, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Chaoqun was unable to control Jiang se as he wished. Jiang se finally revealed her weakness.

Of course, the auction had to go on. If Jiang se did not continue to ‘argue' with her, the show would not be able to start.

Since Jiang se had already threatened his position, of course, he had to suppress her. It would be best if he could suppress her to the point where she could no longer turn the tables and threaten him!
