Chapter 477 My Student Cannot Be the President 33
Three days later, Xia Yichu dressed up carefully and went out.
Li Boran has class today and is naturally not at home.
Zhou Qu personally drove to pick her up. When he saw Xia Yichu appear, Zhou Qu's eyes flashed with surprise.
The two didn't chat much. Zhou Qu opened the car door and let Xia Yichu sit in. Then he returned to the driver's seat and drove Xia Yichu to the venue where the charity auction was held today.
The person who organized the charity event this time was a childhood friend of Zhou Qu.
Zhou Qu's status is so noble, and his childhood is not that of an ordinary person.
When Xia Yichu and Zhou Qu entered, the charity meeting was about to start.
Because Zhou Qu had a black card issued to him, the position where the staff led the two of them was also the best place in the venue, where they could most directly see the things on the stage.
When Xia Yichu came here, she actually just came to take a look, but she didn't expect that something would really catch her eye.
It was a customized watch, and the host on the stage was introducing its origin to everyone.
Next to him, Zhou Qu watched Xia Yichu stare at the stage without blinking, and whispered to her: "This watch is real. At that time, I found the master who went to find this watch specifically for this watch. The master had already retired at that time, but he insisted on begging in front of the house for a month, and finally the master was moved by his integrity and agreed to his customization."
"Of course, when he bought it, the price of this watch was not cheap. He wanted to customize this watch at that time, but it was actually just a whim. After the watch was completed, his passion had long since passed and he had never worn it. Once. I originally thought he would keep it for good collection, but I didn’t expect that he would also put it up for auction.”
"Yes." Xia Yichu nodded. Just as the two of them were talking, the host had already started to raise the bidding price for the auction.
The base price of this watch is 10 million.
However, everyone here is from a distinguished family, either rich or noble. Everyone is discerning, and many people, like Xia Yichu, love this watch very much.
Therefore, as soon as the host's words came to light, people already started raising placards to bid.
Xia Yichu sat in her seat without saying a word. It wasn't until the number of people competing finally started to dwindle that she raised the competition card in her hand.
At this time, the price of this watch has changed from 10 million to 15 million.
In one move, Xia Yichu directly increased the amount by two million, turning it into seventeen million.
Xia Yichu's move instantly suppressed those people.
Some of those who bid before gave up because they didn't have that much money, and some gave up because they felt that it was not worth spending so much money to buy a watch.
There is only one person, and that is a very young girl. She was the one who just raised the price of 15 million.
The girl didn't expect that she was about to put the watch into her pocket, but someone stabbed her into it.
She turned her head and glared at Xia Yichu fiercely, then gritted her teeth and raised the sign again. The middle-aged man who came with her next to her wanted to stop her, but it was a little late.
"Seventeen and a half million, is there any higher price than this?" the host said while standing on the stage.
Xia Yichu ignored the girl's gaze, raised the sign in his hand without blinking, and directly raised the price to 20 million.
This madman!
The girl stared at Xia Yichu angrily, but finally stopped raising her sign.
Not to mention everyone around, even Zhou Qu who was sitting next to him was stunned by Xia Yichu's generous move.
No matter how expensive and unique this watch is, the price is already very high at around 15 million.
Twenty million is really not worth it.
This thought just crossed Zhou Qu's mind, but when he looked at Xia Yichu, because no one bid anymore, the host smiled when he announced that she had bid for this watch. Zhou Qu couldn't help but smile and overturned his previous thoughts. It didn't matter. As long as Xia Yichu liked it, there was no harm in being willful.
The Zhou family's property is countless, and she can spend it as she pleases.
Zhou Qu thought happily, but he didn't know that he would not even be qualified to let her spend his own money in the future.
The things I sent for auction later were equally precious and extraordinary compared to the watch just now, but they were no longer attractive to Xia Yichu.
As for Zhou Qu next to him, in fact, from the beginning to the end, he just wanted to spend extra time with Xia Yichu, otherwise he would not come to participate.
Every time a lady wears a necklace or a gem, Zhou Qu will turn his head to see if Xia Yichu likes it. After receiving Xia Yichu's turn of the head in response, and he didn't see any love for those things from Xia Yichu's eyes, I had to say "Oh" with some disappointment, and then wait for the next thing to appear.
However, until the end of the charity event, neither of them met someone they liked again.
Seeing the disappointment on Zhou Qu's face every time he refused, Xia Yichu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
She was too slow, and she only discovered Zhou Qu's thoughts about her last week.
Xia Yichu came to the appointment today. In fact, the main purpose was that she wanted to make it clear to Zhou Qu that she was not suitable for him.
============
After the charity meeting, Xia Yichu and Zhou Qu also left with everyone.
If you bid on something at the meeting, you have to go backstage to settle the bill. Zhou Qu originally wanted to pay for Xia Yichu, but Xia Yichu refused.
Xia Yichu was carrying a bag, which contained the watch she had just photographed.
Xia Yichu was in such a good mood that she ignored Zhou Qu's nervous and shy look next to her.
Xia Yichu didn't react until the two of them walked to the parking lot and Zhou Qu took out a bouquet of roses and a diamond ring from the car, knelt in front of her and proposed to her.
"Zhou Qu...I..." Xia Yichu looked shocked for a moment, but quickly realized what he was doing and took a few steps back quickly, his rejection clearly visible.
The smile on Zhou Qu's face gradually faded. He ignored the sadness in his heart. Instead, he stood up from the ground and admitted his mistake to Xia Yichu: "I'm sorry, did I offend you? Was I too anxious? You, don’t be afraid. I’m serious. I’ve thought about it for a long time. In my twenty-six years of life, no one has ever given me this feeling like you. Just seeing you makes me feel like I'm very happy. New Year's Eve, I really like you, want to marry you, and want to spend a lifetime with you. Can you accept me?"
