Chapter 20 - Auction for Wind and Cloud (1)
The Verbale was just a small change, and the entire Charity Dinner was quickly restored to normal. After all, all of the people here were important figures.
Lin Yi returned to the viewing gallery on the second floor, picked up a cup of fruit juice and started to chat with Lin Guanting who was beside him.
The auction had already reached its climax.
On the brightly lit stage below, the auctioneer was in the midst of preparing a new auction item.
A set of teeth carved mahjong.
With the lights off, Mahjong's luster and luster were excellent. It was an art piece that was absolutely worth collecting.
The material is an ancient mammoth's tooth. As everyone knows, fossils of ancient mammoth's teeth are becoming rarer and rarer, and the price is one per day. This set of mahjong was made by the master of modern times, Jiang Qingming.
The host enthusiastically introduced, then announced a starting bid of 100,000.
Lin Yi placed a piece of fragrant cow willow into her mouth, then saw Xiao Xinlou grab the microphone on the table and said, "I'll take it for 100,000."
"…"
Lin Yi glanced at her coldly. She was so angry that she wanted to spend some money to vent it out.
Suddenly, a low and sinister voice sounded out, "Three hundred thousand."
There were only a handful of people who had two hundred and ten thousand dollars worth of battle qi, especially when added to a small mahjong.
Hearing the voice, everyone turned to look at Lin Yi who was sitting in front of a round table with a red dragon pattern tablecloth.
There was no sitting posture, only two legs touching the floor, and he leaned back, his feet casually resting on the bleachers railing, his khaki pants rolled up to show his protruding ankles.
His whole person seemed to be in a slovenly state, but he also had a strong aura that could not be ignored.
In her previous life, after going through the incident with the Verbale, how could she still have the face to stay at the scene? She left early in the morning without seeing Ying Hannian at all.
The group of men at Ying Hannian's table all shouted excitedly.
"Oh oh, Camphor attack!"
"Camphor, I heard that this kind of mahjong feels really good. Next time, come to your house and call thirty-six times."
The table Lin Yi was at was no exception. Someone said with a look of disdain, "I don't even know where those trash came from, after earning some money they'll think of themselves as people of the upper class."
"He's Ying Hannian. Recently, when I went out, everything I heard was about him. He hasn't lost a single business battle for someone at such a young age. He's quite a character."
"If I were to say that he's wearing a dragon robe, he wouldn't look like the crown prince. Just look and see, he's a nouveau riche. How noisy."
"If I had such a son, I would have killed him with a slap long ago."
Lin Yi listened quietly and could not help but look in that direction. She saw that there was a table full of people holding Ying Hannian up.
These were all the Crown Princes who did not appear very often in the corporate world. Their eyes were good, and they had come early to curry favor with Ying Hannian, if she had had such eyes back then, and asked Ying Hannian to help them, the Lin Family wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
Right now, the enmity between them had already been settled. She did not mean that Ying Hannian was able to help, she just hoped that he wouldn't take revenge on her.
Just as she was thinking, Ying Hannian suddenly turned and looked at her.
They looked at each other through the air.
His eyes were as black as obsidian, filled with indifference, but also an unfathomable complexity.
Lin Yi immediately retracted her gaze, only to see Xiao Xinlou picking up the microphone again, "Three hundred and fifty thousand."
"Four hundred and fifty thousand."
This was added by Ying Hannian.
"Five hundred thousand."
Xiao Xinlou added on, only then would she be happy if she could not wait to spend all her money.
"Six hundred thousand."
When the mahjong price was raised, the crowd erupted with excitement. The guests who came were either rich or noble, and it was not that they couldn't afford the price, but that everything had a price. No one would waste so much money.
