313 Backlash
“I still say the same thing. Either you keep this mess for yourselves, or sell it to me for three million.”
The security captain looked at the stage. Those who could come here were all famous people. They had never encountered such an unreasonable situation.
The woman on the stage was clearly in a dilemma. The price of this necklace was originally scheduled to be around five million yuan. If it was sold for three million, it would definitely be a loss.
Moreover, the difference between three million and ten million was not small.
Seeing that they did not react for a long time, Gu Rou lost her patience. This necklace had to be worth millions. It could be nine million but definitely not ten million.
She remembered the mission Gu Yuan had given her. She looked at the security captain in front of her and said sweetly, “It’s indeed your auction’s fault. How about this? We’ll add another million and you sell it to us for four million. This is good for everyone.”
Four million yuan had at least reduced their losses. The woman on stage was a little hesitant. She looked back at the man behind the curtain. That was their manager.
This was the first time the manager had encountered such a situation. His head hurt. He waved his hand to get the woman to agree, not wanting to be entangled with Zhang Yue anymore.
If it was four million yuan, their losses were still acceptable, but if they could chase away the two troubles, the manager was willing to lose money.
“If you agree to them, I’ll just say that whoever is competing with me is a helper. When the time comes, I’ll buy it at a low price. What kind of auction is there to hold?”
Gu Man spoke at the right time. Although her words were filled with shamelessness, she did not sound like a hooligan. It was more like she was discussing a big business deal.
Her aura was transmitted from her words. Even though the curtain covered her appearance, one could imagine her slightly angry face behind the curtain.
Boundless pressure assaulted their face, making them tremble uncontrollably. They subconsciously wanted to listen to her orders.
Everyone’s gaze landed on Zhang Yue. This time, it was not the recognition from before. Everyone’s faces were filled with hatred.
Just as Gu Man had said, as long as their interests were touched, no matter who it was, they would experience their condemnation.
Even if the person who affected their interests was someone they had just supported.
Zhang Yue’s expression instantly turned ugly. He could see the dissatisfaction and reprimand of others. Moreover, he could not refute Gu Man’s words.
The reason why the auction agreed was because the auction wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and successfully carry on with the auction.
But now that it involved the interests of others, he knew that he probably could not settle this matter.
As expected, their gazes were like wolves and tigers. They did not care that he was beside them and discussed unscrupulously.
“That’s right. Why should he buy it at a low price just because he wants to? Then what’s the point of the auction? We might as well all pester them endlessly.”
“That’s right. If I had known this would happen, I would have done this for the few items just now. Not only could I get what I wanted, but I could also bid at a low price.”
“We can’t let him buy it for four million! This is unfair to others. Where’s the order of the auction?”
“If your auction is like this, I’ll know how I will buy in the future.”
It was not only the people on the first floor who could not sit still. The people on the second floor could not sit still anymore.
Amidst the crowd’s voices, an old man’s voice was especially obvious.
“Is this how your auction does things?”
The old man’s voice was especially abrupt. Everyone looked at the private room.
However, the person sitting inside was a young man. They did not see an old man.
As the voice sounded again, the old man gradually appeared in everyone’s vision, instantly causing an uproar.
“It’s actually Old Master Cui. I originally thought that only Cui Hong would appear at this auction. I didn’t expect Old Master Cui to be here too. Could it be that there’s really something good at the auction today?”
Everyone knew that Old Master Cui was looking for a tool to collect souls because a master said that such an item could cure his grandson’s illness.
