The reason Jiang Xue said this was also out of consideration for Mr. Chen and the others. Previously, they had spent twenty thousand on her writing, so it wouldn’t make sense for the auction price to be lower than that.
Doing so would be unfair; she wouldn’t be letting down just Mr. Chen but also herself. After all, the characters she penned with spiritual power afterwards must surely be better than what she wrote before.
"This price?" Xiao Yang was somewhat troubled. Even the works of masters didn’t necessarily go for this high a price. But for a newcomer like Jiang Xue to demand such a high price, isn’t it a bit...
Mr. Chen, listening to Jiang Xue’s words from the side, naturally understood why she said that. He laughed and said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, just do as the girl says."
"Alright then!" Seeing that Mr. Chen had spoken, Xiao Yang nodded and agreed.
Twenty thousand it is, whether it sells or not isn’t his problem.
Once the auction matters were settled, Mr. Chen noticed that quite a few people had arrived, and even some old friends, so he said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, you go on with your work if you have any, I’ll take the girl and the others to have a look around." This update is available on novel_fіre.net
"I’ll accompany you, I happen to be free at the moment." Xiao Yang stood up and joined Mr. Chen and Jiang Xue in viewing the exhibition.
The exhibition hall was large and spacious, with calligraphy and paintings hanging from the central pillars and the walls around. To avoid aesthetic fatigue, the calligraphy and paintings were interspersed.
Because Jiang Xue was a newcomer, her few pieces were placed towards the back, near the corner.
However, a strange phenomenon occurred. Usually, the works placed at the back were seen by relatively fewer people, but this time, the back was crowded with onlookers.
Seeing people heading toward the back, Xiao Yang was a bit surprised and asked a staff member on-site, "Xiao Wang, what’s going on here?"
"Manager Yang, they’re all flocking to those three pieces at the back. Not sure what magic those characters possess, but they manage to attract everyone’s attention."
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Xiao Yang turned to glance at Mr. Chen, seeking his opinion.
"No rush, let’s take our time and gradually move over there." Mr. Chen smiled, suspecting that this situation was likely due to Jiang Xue’s works.
Because her calligraphy felt very unique, providing a very pleasant and comfortable feeling. Ever since he had Jiang Xue’s piece mounted and hung in his study, no matter how long he stayed there, he never felt tired. Instead, he felt invigorated, his whole body relaxed.
For this reason, when Manager Yang suggested pricing Jiang Xue’s calligraphy based on buying interest, he disagreed. He felt that Jiang Xue’s calligraphy was good, but more importantly, it was the artistic conception and the comfortable feeling conveyed that mattered.
"Okay, let’s follow Mr. Chen’s lead." Manager Yang agreed with a smile, then accompanied Mr. Chen and the others from the front to the back.
They had thought that, having taken so much time, those viewing the calligraphy might have left by now. Instead, not only had they not left, but many were inquiring with the staff about the price of the few pieces.
Indeed, there are still quite a few discerning individuals.
Seeing this situation, Manager Yang was surprised once more. He had overseen numerous exhibitions, and this wasn’t his first calligraphy and painting exhibit, yet it was the first time he encountered such a phenomenon.
Upon closer inspection, he saw the works being discussed were indeed Jiang Xue’s three pieces, and he was even more astonished. Could he really have undervalued the worth of these three works?
With this thought, the way he looked at Jiang Xue inevitably changed.
