Xu Taiping believed that there were geniuses in the world.

What was a genius?

Geniuses were people who could achieve great things without hard work. Only then could they be considered geniuses. Anyone who had achieved great things by relying on the later geniuses could not be considered a genius.

Obviously, Zhao Xiaohua was a genius, a genius at biting others.

From being immature, to being proficient, to being proficient, and then to being proficient, Zhao Xiaohua had only used three moves.

Many people would not be able to reach the level of Zhao Xiaohua in their entire lives.

Xu Taiping had always thought of himself as the champion of long distance running, but in front of Zhao Xiaohua, Xu Taiping felt that he was perhaps a little too naive.

Coming out of the washroom, Xu Taiping felt that his legs were floating.

Logically speaking, working continuously for such a short period of time shouldn't have exhausted him. However, the feeling that came from Zhao Xiaohua's lips made Xu Taiping lose his strength.

Zhao Xiaohua held Xu Taiping's hand as they walked back to the party.

At this moment, the auction was almost over. In the 20 minutes since Xu Taiping disappeared, they had auctioned 5 items. The entire auction had raised a total of 10 million.

Eight years ago, Mr. Ye Luofei bought this antique from abroad. At that time, Mr. Ye Luofei spent about 30 million yuan on it. Ladies and gentlemen, the 30 million from eight years ago is now worth at least 60 million yuan. the host shouted.

Even Xu Taiping couldn't help but give a huge round of applause. As an actor, being able to spend thirty million to buy back the Old Ancestor's things from abroad was already a very impressive feat. Not to mention that he had even donated this item out now.

After a long time, the applause stopped.

"Now, we would like to invite our etiquette lady to present this item to everyone!" The host Gao Sheng shouted.

The music at the scene rang out, and beams of light struck a lady of etiquette who was walking over from the side.

The ceremonial lady held a tray in her hands. On the tray, there was an exquisite and ancient purple sandalwood box.

The ceremonial lady placed the tray in the center of the stage and then placed the box on the stage in the middle of the stage.

Under everyone's gaze, the ceremonial lady gently opened the box.

Inside the box, a jade hairpin appeared in front of everyone.

The hairpin was very beautiful and it had a classical charm to it.

This is a hairpin that was passed down from the Imperial Palace over two hundred years ago. Some people said that this was used by Princess Geiger in the past, and it was snatched out of the Imperial Palace by the allied forces of the multinational force over two hundred years ago, and after turning it around for over two hundred years, it was bought back to the country by our Mister Ye Luofei. Although this hairpin has been through more than two hundred years, it is still intact and has a very good appearance. Now, the bidding begins! " the host shouted.

"80 million." A calm voice sounded.

This voice was exactly the same as the voice that shouted 5 million, so everyone didn't need to look to know that the one bidding was China's richest man's son, Li Jiang Shan.

Eight years ago, the price of the hairpin was only 30 million, and now, it was only worth around 50 million. When Ye Luo had bought the hairpin back then, the actual value of the hairpin was around 30 million, and eight years later, it was worth around 30 million. At that time, the price of the hairpin was only 10 million, and it was unknown whether Ye Luo was unlucky or the auction was arranged for it, but in the end, Ye Luo had bought the hairpin back then, it was worth around 30 million.

"Good heavens, 80 million! I've never even seen that much money before!" Zhao Xiaohua sighed.

"So rich!" Xu Taiping sighed.

On the stage, the host shouted excitedly, "Our Young Master Li bids 80 million. This is really a sky-shaking price. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

No one bid.

After that, more and more people began to applaud. Everyone began to congratulate Li Jiangshan for winning the hairpin and also expressed their gratitude for his generous donation.

The auctioneer raised the hammer high up in the air. Just as he was about to fall, a similarly calm voice rang out.

"One hundred million."

These sounds were so insignificant in the midst of the applause, they were almost drowned out by it. But for some reason, these sounds passed through the crowd and finally entered the host's ears.

"One hundred million, which gentleman offered one hundred million? Please raise your hand!" The host shouted excitedly.

Following the host's call, the applause from the audience suddenly stopped.

Originally, Li Jiangshan was smiling as he chatted with his female companion, seemingly not taking the applause to heart. However, when the applause stopped, Li Jiangshan's face uncontrollably trembled a little.

100 million?

When Li Jiangshan heard this price, he could not believe it because the price had already far exceeded the true price of the jade hairpin.

A hand suddenly rose up in the crowd.

Everyone looked towards the owner of this hand. In the end, they were shocked to discover that the owner of this hand was the author who had sold this hand for two million just now, that is to say, the host's "Mr Xu!"

This Mister Xu actually offered a jade hairpin worth thirty to forty million yuan?!

Everyone was stupefied. This Mister Xu was secretive. Was he that rich?

Li Jiangshan looked at Xu Taiping.

Although Xu Taiping wore glasses, Li Jiangshan still recognized him at a glance.

In truth, Li Jiangshan had many opportunities to discover Xu Taiping. However, whether it was when Xu Taiping had raised his hand and said that it was his writing previously, or when Xu Taiping's writing had sold for a high price, his attention had not been on Xu Taiping at all. In fact, he had not even turned to look at Xu Taiping.

However, after being surprised, a cold smile appeared on Li Jiangshan's face as he said, "I was wondering who it was. So it's actually CEO Xu."

"Aha, isn't this Director Li?" Xu Taiping looked at Li Jiangshan in surprise and said, "Director Li is in a good mood, you actually came to Hong Kong."

"I just happened to be here on vacation, so I came to attend this party on the way. Does Boss Xu like this hairpin?" Li Jiangshan asked.

"Yeah, I like it for some reason!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"Alright then, let's each rely on our own abilities. What do you think?" Li Jiang Shan said with a smile.

"Sure!" Xu Taiping nodded.

Their conversation came to an end.

Although this round of dialogue didn't have any very important information, everyone who heard it still felt their hearts tremble.

Sitting in the back row, CEO Xu actually recognized Li Jiangshan. Moreover, based on Li Jiangshan's words, Li Jiangshan seemed to value this person a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said something that depended on one's own ability.

A person sitting in the back row could actually attract so much attention from Li Jiangshan?

How was this possible? Anyone with a higher status would be seated in the front row!

In the dinner party the night before, honestly speaking, Lin Zhirong didn't take Xu Taiping too seriously. The reason why he was so keen to chat with Xu Taiping and even invited Xu Taiping to the party was mainly because Xu Taiping was an investor, and that investor was definitely rich. When the time came, he might be able to contribute a little bit to charity.

It was precisely because of this thought that when Lin Rong arranged Xu Taiping's seat for him, he had arranged it to be at the back. This was because for people like Xu Taiping and Zhao Xiaohua, who didn't hold much importance in the circle, they would usually sit in the back.

Such an arrangement was originally nothing, but who would have thought that this Xu Taiping would actually know Li Jiangshan, and was even a character who dared to fight with Li Jiangshan.

Lin Ruorong's mind was already thinking of how to make up for the relationship between him and Xu Taiping after the party ended. Those who knew Xu Taiping, or had ridiculed him before, also started to think of how they could get closer to Xu Taiping.

Someone who could compete with Li Jiangshan in a play was definitely someone worth dating!

"20 million." Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Jiangshan opened his mouth to speak.

"120 million!" Our Mr. Li has bid one hundred and twenty million, and this is definitely the highest price we have bid in all these years. The host shouted excitedly.

"Two hundred million." Xu Taiping said with an indifferent face.

"Mr Xu, what did you say? I-I seem to have heard wrongly?" The host asked with his mouth agape.

"Two hundred million." Xu Taiping held up two of his fingers.

"200 million!" My God, Mr. Xu, 200 million! They directly raised the highest price we have ever offered by 80 million, 200 million, there's no way we can raise it by that much! " the host called.

"I'll add another 20 million." Li Jiangshan said.

"220 million!" the host called.

"Double the price, 440 million." Xu Taiping calmly said.

His words were like a thunderclap, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble violently.
