Xu Mingzhi did not stay to chat. After handing over her documents, she looked in the direction where the young man had disappeared into, but she could no longer see anything.
“What’s wrong?” Su Cunyi noticed her expression. “Do you know him?”
Xu Mingzhi was not sure. After a moment of silence, she looked at him.
“There’s a VVVVIP competing with us.”
It was not until llam that all the attendees entered the venue.
Xu Mingzhi, Su Cunyi, and Zhang Guihua were all ordinary guests, so their seats were right next to each other.
Today’s auction item was a car, and the venue was very spacious.
The seats of the guests were opened in circles.
On the huge display platform in the center, the car parked diagonally was covered in Tiffany blue silk cloth. The huge screen behind it showed the ID of the highest bidder.
The auctioneer in a tuxedo walked up to the stage with a small hammer in his hand. Following him was a staff member. Everyone’s curiosity was instantly piqued.
The venue was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breaths.
With a swoosh, a huge piece of soft silk cloth was raised high by the staff, and the only sports car in the world came into view!
Even though they had seen it in a car magazine, they were still shocked to see it in person.
A hot, charismatic, and good-looking French model stood beside the car, causing an uproar at the scene.
“OMG! The car is so beautiful…no wonder my wife ordered me to bring this car back to her today.”
“The company knows what girls like.” “How could anyone not like such a car…”
“Anyway, I have to bring it home today.”
The entire place was filled with suppressed exclamations. Not only Xu Mingzhi, but the others were also like hunters who had their target locked.
They were ready to raise their paddles.
The reporters were all waiting outside. This was their hunting ground!
The auctioneer announced the rules and procedures. The starting price was only 25 million!
Every time one raised their paddle, they would increase the bid by 1 million.
The auction officially began. Before Zhang Guihua could react, Xu Mingzhi raised hers!
The auctioneer reacted quickly and immediately raised his hand politely in her direction. At the same time, he spoke into the microphone, “26 million!”
At the same time, Xu Mingzhi’s ID was shown on the big screen behind the auctioneer.
The attendees looked at her in surprise.
His movements were so fast!
Zhang Guihua momentarily forgot that her son was going to buy Su Ji a car. With a competitive attitude, she also raised the paddle.
“27 million!”
Following that, the other guests also raised their placards one after another, as if they were free.
“28 million!”
“29 million!”
In less than ten minutes, the price had risen to 50 million!
Everyone let out a small sigh.
It was already 50 million so quickly…
Although everyone who came here liked this car, if this continued, it was hard to say whether they would be able to get it in the end.
Then, at this moment…
The big screen flickered and the number stopped at 8888.
It was the VVVVIP!
“60 million!” The auctioneer raised his hand and gestured to the man in the VIP seat on the second floor.
Gasps rose and fell, and the crowd immediately began to discuss enthusiastically. This time, the price was raised by 10 million. This was also a privilege only VVVVIP customers had!
Everyone looked in that direction, but the man was still wearing a mask and sunglasses, so his face could not be seen clearly.
After a moment of silence, Su Cunyi raised his hand, but Zhang Guihua pushed it down. “It’s already 60 million, what’s the point of raising it? Do you really want to spend so much money to buy that girl a car? Does she still call you dad?”
At the mention of this, Su Cunyi smiled knowingly. “I’ve already said it. No matter what, I’ll always be her father.” Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes.
Xu Mingzhi raised hers.
“61 million!” The auctioneer called out.
Su Cunyi and Zhang Guihua looked at her at the same time.
If she’s rich and willing to be a sucker, then let her be,” Zhang Guihua said.
Soon, other people followed.
During this period, the VVVVIP client on the second floor also raised his a few times.
Because there were too many people raising their paddles, the increment was quickly adjusted to 5 million, and the VVVVIP increased it by 20 million each time.
As the bid increased, the bidding price jumped even faster.
After another ten minutes, the bidding price had exceeded 100 million!!
When the bidding price reached 100 million, half of the people silently put down their paddles.
And when it broke 200 million, the number of people who were still raising their paddles were close to zero.
The crowd gradually began to talk animatedly. Xu Mingzhi continued to raise hers calmly. “205 million!”
“Tsk tsk.” Zhang Guihua shook her head.
What a sucker.
Before Su Cunyi could retort, Xu Mingzhi suddenly whispered into his ear,
“lend me some.”
Due to the project, she had been transferring less cash to Country F recently. This had gone over budget.
She was speaking so close that Su Cunyi smelled the fragrance of her shampoo and paused.
Zhang Guihua pulled her son away. “Son, don’t do it!”
Xu Mingzhi couldn’t be bothered with Zhang Guihua and looked at Su Cunyi.
Su Cunyi swallowed, “okay! My mother still has 200 million yuan in her private savings!”
“Who told you to tell her that! Zhang Guihua was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
“225 million!”
The VVVVIP on the second floor raised his paddle again.
“F * ck!” Xu Mingzhi slapped the armrest. “225 million going once!”
Xu Mingzhi once again raised hers, “230 million!”
As the auction entered the final stage, the other bosses were just watching. Now, they only wanted to see if the VVVVIP upstairs still wanted to bid.
This price was not very suitable for a limited edition sports car.
However, the big boss would not back down.
The auctioneer said, “250 million!”
Everyone was shocked!
Su Cunyi and Xu Mingzhi looked at him at the same time!
“250 million going once!”
The auctioneer looked at Xu Mingzhi and the others when he called out the price.
Xu Mingzhi pressed her temples and asked Su Cunyi in a low voice how much he could lend her. Su Cunyi told her a number.
“250 million going twice!”
Seeing that there was only one last chance left, Xu Mingzhi raised her paddle and was eager to try one last time.
Zhang Guihua’s forehead was full of sweat, but she was not as arrogant as she was at the beginning. She pulled Xu Mingzhi’s hand and tried to persuade her. “Please stop. It was my fault in the past. I apologize to you. Money is not easy to come by. Every car is the same. It’s not like a car worth more than 200 million yuan can fly…”
Xu Mingzhi had a headache from her nagging and missed the opportunity.
“250 million thrice!”
The auctioneer hammered three times, and the screen froze.
Below “8888” was the signature of the bidder.
The staff used a beautiful box to hold the bidding receipt and sent it upstairs.
Everyone applauded wildly, their gazes following him. Some were envious, some were impressed, and there were also Xu Mingzhi and Su Cunyi who were purely jealous and hateful!
Xu Mingzhi stared at the autograph on the big screen like a tiger.
What did that mean?
pH level?
