Chapter 29: Buying toys for the cat is really about meeting your lover?
An imperial green diamond is given to the nanny at home. Even the richest family cannot do this.
Even when Chu Rong took this thing out to use as bait, it put a lot of psychological pressure on him.
He thought Ye Man would like this thing, and since he knew it was a good thing, he naturally assumed that everyone would know it was good. He never thought that the two more wasteful young masters of the Chi family would give it to the nanny at home.
But what Chi Jue wanted to do was something that would make outsiders suspect that he had a problem with his brain, and he would definitely be scolded if his family knew about it.
He has to spend money, money that is not worth it, to cut some flesh, so that the children next to him will feel that he is in pain and that he is not well, and then they may feel happier.
If he is happier, Chi Jue will be happy too.
If at the beginning, Chi Jue gave in to Ye Man out of guilt and with a bottom line, then now, he sincerely hopes to make him happy.
When one really cares about someone, when one really wants to care about that person, then there is no need to worry about bottom lines.
Xiaoman has thorns all over his body, all of which grow from his inward parts.
If someone pokes him, he will poke holes all over himself. What can we do if we don't take care of ourselves?
Chi Jue reached out and pinched Ye Man's face, and seeing that he looked unhappy but was actually sitting there obediently, he couldn't help but smile.
"Starting at 50,000, step 10,000, start bidding..."
After the auction item was introduced, there was a commotion among the guests tonight when they heard the price.
Anyone with a normal IQ knows that it is impossible to buy this imperial green jade with such a small amount of money. If the price is so low and the step price is so small, it means that the organizer is very confident about the value and transaction price of the item in a normal auction. In this kind of situation, it seems more like someone is setting up a trap.
Those who are interested will definitely wait and see what the specific situation is. Don't get involved in the stage of the boss's fight and get yourself into trouble.
In this subtle silence, Chi Jue calmly raised the sign.
"Five hundred thousand."
It was Chi Jue who called the price, not Ye Man.
This was a bit beyond Chu Rong's expectations. He thought Chi Jue would be the one who stopped him, but now it was Chi Jue who stepped into the pit first.
The stage has been built this far, so there is no reason not to go up.
Chu Rong followed suit and raised the sign: "Five hundred and ten thousand."
He didn't ask for a higher price, but just lowered the other party's price by one level.
At the moment, this little bit of money is nothing to either of them, but the tension has already spread because of this action.
People around were looking at the two tables. Those with sharp eyes had already figured out who the two parties in the dispute were.
Chi Jue naturally recognized Chu Rong. It was not surprising that someone who had bullied Xiaoman would do something terrible.
Seeing that the other party was deliberately making things difficult, Chi Jue remained unmoved. It was Ye Man who trembled first.
Hua Chijue's money should be the one Chijue feels the pain, so why should he feel the pain too?
"Brother Tong, I am very possessive of other people's money. I feel bad when they spend money. Can you give me two points?" Ye Man never forgets to find opportunities to increase his cannon fodder points.
"Brother Tong, Brother Tong? Are you really taking a break?"
System: "...It's time to get off work, why are you arguing?"
"I added it for you."
Ye Man laughed: "Thank you, Brother Tong! Brother Tong is the best!"
System:......
Add, add, add. Where can I find points to give him?
If my name is written on the test paper, will I get ten extra points?
Add points to him and deduct points from his performance, and go to work on loan every day!
It's not here to enslave the host to work for it, it's here to lend money to raise children!
The system said coldly: "The last glass of juice. Your sugar intake today has exceeded the limit, host."
He cursed angrily: "Be careful of cavities!"
Ye Man put down the cup he had just raised.
No one noticed that someone else had taken Xiao Wu's place behind him.
Xiao Wu, who was concentrating on paying attention to his young master so as to be able to step forward when the other party needed him, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by someone.
The man was wearing a smart black suit, carrying a briefcase in his hand and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He smiled at him apologetically, pointed silently behind him, and made an apologetic gesture, asking him if he could move aside.
Xiao Wu stood up bewilderedly, made way for his seat, and watched the man with extraordinary bearing sit in his seat.
Just as the young master put down his cup, he didn't know that someone had changed behind him. He thought it was still his assistant, Xiao Wu, who leaned back and whispered to him, "I don't want to drink juice anymore. Pour me some water."
Xiao Wu took a closer look at the man who appeared out of nowhere, recognized who he was, took a deep breath, and was about to remind the young master, but was stopped by Secretary Chen who smiled and handed him a glass of champagne.
One second late.
The head of the Xu family took the cup from his young master under Xiao Wu's horrified gaze, put it aside, and poured water for him in another cup.
His young master took a sip and muttered, "Why is it warm?"
Turning around and holding it up to the back: "Add more ice cubes."
Xu Huaiting looked at the cup in front of him with both hands and said slowly: "No."
"Yes, just now..."
Ye Man felt that the voice sounded familiar.
Chi Jue looked at the voice, paused, and said solemnly: "Mr. Xu."
Ye Man was also stunned.
Why did the living ancestor come here?
At this time, Chu Rong raised the sign again.
"Two million and one hundred thousand. Any more orders?"
In just a short while, the bid reached two million.
Ye Man couldn't hold back his anger anymore and wanted Chi Jue to give up.
Forget it, it's really too expensive. At worst... he can buy twenty pairs of gloves for Aunt Zhou, and then go to Aunt Zhou to be nice. He can make people happy with just his words, and save two million right away!
This is a mouth worth two million!
He nervously pulled Chi Jue's sleeve: "Brother Chi Jue, we don't want this anymore."
In fact, this price is far from the original value of the item, and there is still room for further bidding.
Seeing that Ye Man was really anxious, Chi Jue said "OK" and stopped raising the sign.
Xu Huaiting: "Want this?"
Ye Man: “?”
Xu Huaiting took the sign handed to him by Secretary Chen and raised it up.
He didn't make an offer.
No quotation, default tiered price is added.
The auctioneer called out, "Two million and twenty thousand."
However, Xu Huaiting held it up and did not put it down.
He was lazy and lay in his den like a lion, wagging his tail in boredom. He seemed not to be looking at Ye Man in front of him and pretending to be asleep. However, when the cup in the other's hand almost fell, he held it up steadily without even looking.
The person is right in front of him, he is watching, nothing can happen.
Ye Man: "Thank you......?"
Xu Huaiting nodded, his hand still raised, not feeling tired at all.
He looked at the stunned auctioneer on the stage from a distance and reminded him, "Go on."
Now everyone reacted, and whispers broke out all around.
"Oh my god, lighting a sky lantern?" someone joked in surprise.
It doesn't have such a complicated meaning.
The reason he held on to it was that no matter how much anyone offered, he would pay a higher price than the other party to buy it.
Not everyone is qualified to do this.
If you can’t pay the money by then, you will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the organizer. The organizer will also verify your capital in advance, and those who don’t have enough capital to play this game will be politely persuaded to withdraw.
However, the one playing this now is Xu Huaiting.
Even if he is here temporarily, there is no need to verify his capital.
This name, this face, is the biggest pass and admission ticket.
The auctioneer swallowed his saliva and turned to persuade Chu Rong in a subtle way: "Mr. Chu, do you want to continue to raise the price?"
I was very anxious and hoped that the other party would not act impulsively.
Chu Rong was really panicked at this time.
If this piece of Imperial Green falls into the hands of the Chi family, he will have a way to force them to return it, but if it falls into Xu Huaiting's hands, it will be gone!
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Five million!"
Then he stared at Xu Huaiting's movements. He bet that Xu Huaiting was just in a whim and would not take it seriously.
Xu Huaiting is not interested in these things!
However, even though he was staring at Xu Huaiting, the other party's hand was still raised steadily. This meant that he was going to get it.
Who would stand against him at this time?
The auctioneer blushed: "Five million and ten thousand."
Chu Rong sat there, clutching the sign, his face flushed red and green, and he didn't raise the sign again until the auctioneer struck the gavel.
The whole audience was shocked for a moment.
Countless eyes looked in this direction.
The thing was delivered to Xu Huaiting. He glanced at it without much concern and threw it to Ye Man, "Take it and play with it."
Ye Man: “…”
Holding this thing, my breathing almost stopped.
"Mr. Xu, this is so expensive..."
Chu Rong was so upset that he was almost dying, but he still thought it was valuable.
"Not bad."
In the second half, Ye Man spent the whole time in a trance.
I didn't know what I was doing here, I just sat down and didn't leave.
Every now and then, he would see something interesting and buy two, take a look at them, and then throw them to Ye Man.
With her chin propped up on the back of her hand, she watched him carefully touch the things he threw to her, looking at them intently, as if it was very interesting to see him fiddling with those things.
At the end, Ye Man held a bunch of small things in his hands, looked up at Xu Huaiting, and called out weakly, "Mr. Xu?"
The whole person looks a bit confused.
I don't quite understand what he means.
It's normal that he can't guess it.
Even someone as smart as Chi Jue couldn't figure out what Xu Huaiting was doing or what the deeper meaning was.
Xu Huaiting really doesn't have any profound meaning.
After thinking about it, I think I probably have the same mentality as those who are raising cats for the first time. In the past, I didn't even look at the cats and had no interest in them at all, but suddenly I wanted to buy all of them to play with. Before I knew it, I bought too many.
His eyes dropped to his lips.
Can't see clearly.
If you really want to know whether his tongue is injured, you probably have to fix it and take a closer look.
It is best to touch it and make sure there are no wounds.
Xu Huaiting's breathing paused.
Avert your eyes.
His voice was a little hoarse. "Are you interested in mountains or the sea?"
Ye Man: "Sea...?"
This question left him completely confused.
"I see."
Xu Huaiting came in a strange way and didn't say much when he left. Only Ye Man was left holding a bunch of things, looking indescribably confused.
When I went out, I met Chu Rong.
Chu Rong was staring at them, especially the imperial green in Ye Man's hand.
In the past, he would have definitely gone to Chi Jue. But today, he had completely lost his usual interest.
I was about to say something, but the assistant took the phone with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "It's my husband calling."
Chi Jue stood in front of Ye Man, frowning and watching Chu Rong answer the phone with a purple face. He probably got scolded for a while. Finally, he hung up the phone, gritted his teeth, looked at the two brothers of the Chi family, and said, "I'm sorry."
He never mentioned the imperial green again and turned away angrily.
Chi Jue sneered.
Ye Man was still confused. On the way back, Chi Jue patiently explained to him, "This thing originally belonged to Chu Rong. It was worth a lot of money. But he was sold for such a small amount of money. He suffered a loss. He couldn't afford to offend Mr. Xu, so he wanted to make trouble for us."
"Logically, this matter shouldn't have been reported back to the Chu family so quickly. I guess Mr. Xu must have told his father something."
Chi Jue touched his brother's head and sighed with inexplicable worry.
......
Beijing city.
Sun Hongming rushed to find Xu Qiting early in the morning.
Stunned: "Did you hear about what happened to Xu Huaiting in Longde last night?"
"He...he wouldn't really go to meet his lover!"
