Auction day.
The room is not big, and the podium in front and a dozen row of chairs fill the entire room.
The people from the Song family were already present, and then, the secretary and uncle beside Shi Ran’s grandfather also came in and sat in the seats next to them.
"Please sit here."
"Thanks."
"Why is the Song family here?"
"Stop talking, even the Shi family is here."
No one dared to get close and just kept whispering from a distance.
No one could have imagined that just a small auction would bring together the richest family, the Shi family, and the Song family, which had risen to prominence only a few years after arriving in Nanhu.
It's like a dream.
With five minutes left before the auction, the entire room fell silent.
The door made a sound of opening again, and everyone looked over. At this moment, a man walked in alone.
The man turned around, took leisurely steps, and walked inside.
Unlike the two prominent figures, people were not impressed.
But there was an unexpected reaction.
That is, everyone in the Shi family and the Song family knows who he is.
"No!"
I don't know who made the sound first.
"How could you?"
Grandpa Shi's secretary looked at the teacher who appeared in surprise.
"teacher?"
My uncle was also surprised and his face turned pale.
Unlike the three people who moved their seats out of fright, the teacher seemed very calm. After nodding in greeting, he sat casually in the middle seat where no one had sat before, and crossed his legs.
The people from the Song family exchanged glances with my uncle silently, their brows furrowed.
The auction has begun.
The auctioneer confirmed the time after observing the signal and announced it in a trembling voice.
"The lowest price at the auction is eight million yuan."
Each person who participated in the auction received a piece of useless paper and an envelope.
This is a simple way to write down the amount you bid, seal it, and the auctioneer confirms and writes the highest bid as the winner.
No one, whether from the Song family, the Shi family, or the teacher, considered how much to write.
As soon as the paper and pen are received, write the number and seal the mouth of the envelope.
The people from the Song family, the secretary of the Shi family's grandfather, and especially the uncle all looked at the teacher.
Although he received a lot of attention, he just looked at the front with aloofness.
Later.
The auctioneer took away all the envelopes.
Only the rustling sound of envelopes being opened could be heard, and the auction room was silent due to a subtle sense of tension.
"The results will be announced..."
The auctioneer followed procedure and announced the three bids that were close to winning.
“First, the Song family’s 18 million yuan.”
My uncle just turned his eyes and looked at the Song family with a smiling face.
It was clearly stated that 16 million yuan would be enough, but in the end, they unexpectedly asked for 2 million yuan more.
"Then the Shi family, 15 million yuan."
The auction hall became noisy again.
"Does this mean the Song family won?"
"It seems to be correct."
"The Shi family actually had its competitor's products snatched away by the Song family?"
Because everyone was aware of the subtle antagonism between the Shi and Song families, the reaction was even stronger.
Shi Ran's grandfather's secretary looked at his uncle with red eyes, but his uncle shook his head pretending to know nothing, acting as if nothing had happened and pretending to be innocent.
"Finally, the agent offered 18.01 million yuan."
The auctioneer swallowed the money with a gulp after seeing the number written on the paper.
The auction site was shrouded in astonishment and silence.
"What?"
There was a moment of astonishment, and then everything became quiet again.
It's as if time has stood still.
"this……"
The Song family couldn't believe it, but couldn't say a word.
Everyone turned their eyes to the teacher.
The teacher just stood up as if nothing had happened, straightened his clothes, and one corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"Thank you for your mercy."
The teacher left with a victorious smile.
What a shame!
It's a shame!
He was afraid that his uncle's price was too low and that he was a double agent, so he deliberately offered two million more than the price we had agreed on. Unexpectedly, the teacher offered only ten thousand more than him.
No one needs this ten thousand, but this ten thousand seems like a humiliation.
The teacher was in a good mood when he saw the aggrieved faces of the Song family.
I remembered the conversation I had with Shi Ran before.
"Miss, why do you have to ask for 18,010,000 yuan, in round numbers?"
Shi Ran said confidently, "Grandpa offered 15 million yuan. The Song family will definitely offer more than that, but they are cunning and may not believe what my uncle says. They may offer a higher price. I guess they will offer 18 million yuan. Teacher, you don't need to write too much, just 18.01 million yuan."
Shi Ran had already imagined in his mind how the Song family would be humiliated. He had never seen it with his own eyes, but he imagined that it would be very interesting.
She crossed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and said proudly: "It's not much, ten thousand yuan can defeat the Song family, isn't it better?"
"I understand." The teacher nodded, "Wait for me to come back."
Just as Shi Ran expected!
There really was no surprise, no surprise at all.
After the mine was acquired by Shi Ran, it was mined immediately and then polished and sold. For some reason, the mined diamonds were more lustrous than those on the market and sold better.
"Ah! It's so nice to have money!"
Shi Ran sipped the cold fruit juice while reading the diamond sales report. It was truly incomparable. Maybe it was because she had snatched the Song family's, so it was even sweeter.
Shi Ran put down the empty juice cup with regret, stretched his waist, looked out the window and muttered to himself.
"From today on, I am also a rich man."
After saying this, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Things are going so smoothly, so let's dig into my uncle's side now."
On one side is the father who loves his aunt the most and is gentle to his twins.
On the other side was the betrayer holding Shi Ran's shoulders with a distorted face.
Now, it's time to figure out which of the two is the real face.
Shi Ran tried hard to recall the divorce between her aunt and uncle in her previous life.
At that time, the divorce of the two was a sensational scandal.
The Shi family is the richest family, while my uncle's family is just a middle-class family. They married into the Shi family and later became what they are today. Unfortunately, they did not manage the business well and owed tens of millions in debt.
Shi Ran crossed his arms over his chest and clicked his tongue twice.
"Phoenix man? As expected, you can't marry down."
Shi Ran clapped his hands and suddenly remembered.
"After my uncle got divorced, he married someone else within two months. My aunt, on the other hand, left the Shi family, saying she wanted to relax. She's been living in another province ever since and rarely comes back." Shi Ran bit her finger, looking thoughtful. "Could he have cheated? Was it because of a woman? My aunt is so beautiful, she already has an aunt, why would she cheat?"
Shi Ran couldn't find the real reason, so she lay on the table and said distressedly: "Why divorce? Why betrayal? I must find the answer."
