Li Zhanting's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his fist clenched as he gripped the number plate.
Under the host's stunned gaze, he raised the sign and said in a terrifyingly low voice, "Two billion!"
"Two billion! President Li has bid two billion!" The host's voice was no longer as impassioned as before.
After all, anyone could see that the atmosphere was tense enough to blow the entire hotel to rubble; this was no ordinary auction.
Gu Momo glanced in Li Zhanting's direction, her clear, cold eyes bright and captivating, carrying an air of unwavering determination, "Twenty-five billion!"
There were other people present, but most of them had entered the venue early and did not see Gu Momo disciplining Lin Wan'er, so they did not know Gu Momo's background.
Seeing her repeatedly go against Li Zhanting, doubts and criticisms began to emerge.
"Where did this woman come from? How dare she openly challenge Master Ting?"
"Exactly, she offered 1.5 billion? Can she even afford that? She's just spouting nonsense."
"Could it be some unknown Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, or Mr. Wang's mistress who's making a fool of herself?"
...
Upon hearing this, Director Chen was already sweating profusely. He wished he could immediately step forward and sew up the foul mouths of these ignorant spectators!
They had no idea that this petite, seemingly frail woman could change the entire capital city with just a flick of her finger.
Crushing them is no different than crushing an ant!
Fortunately, Gu Momo didn't pay any attention to their discussion and stared at Li Zhanting with great interest.
Seeing him angrily raise his sign and raise the price to three billion.
Three billion, what does that mean?
An ordinary person could not earn that much income even if they worked for a hundred years without eating or drinking.
This painkiller has long exceeded its intrinsic value.
Each subsequent bid was merely Li Zhanting confronting her.
She remained calm and composed, raising her sign with unhurried grace, "Three billion five billion!"
The host pinched his philtrum; this was probably the most terrifying auction of his career!
The starting bid of 80 million has increased nearly 50 times.
He'd love to be fired by the association right now! That way he wouldn't have to be caught between Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, the economic powerhouse of the capital!
Director Chen, standing to the side, was ashen-faced, and the handkerchief he had used to wipe his sweat was practically soaked with water.
Li Zhanting's prestige in the capital is unmatched; anyone who encounters him must give him a wide berth.
But compared to him, who knew the inside story, he was even more aware that Gu Momo was the big shot he couldn't afford to offend. Even Li Zhanting, after learning Gu Momo's true identity, would definitely try to curry favor with her.
After much deliberation, he took out his phone to consult the association and was ordered to immediately terminate the auction.
Everything should be done in Ms. Gu's best interests!
He staggered onto the stage, snatched the microphone from the host, his voice trembling, almost kneeling before Gu Momo:
“Miss Gu…you…you don’t need to spend so much money! The association is giving you this medicine for free, okay? Please don’t make us feel so bad.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhanting's handsome features could no longer be described as merely ugly.
Who exactly is this Gu Momo, that she could make Director Chen give up so much profit and hand over the auction items?
Are they not even afraid of offending him?
Those who had just been questioning Gu Momo were now stunned.
Who would have thought this was a hidden master!
Or is it that behind this woman is a man powerful enough to rival Master Ting?
It should be noted that the association that organizes the charity auction is a non-governmental organization, not subject to the influence or jurisdiction of any force. Even Li Zhanting has no right to interfere.
And they seemed to value Gu Momo very much!
Seeing that Gu Momo didn't speak, Director Chen took it as her tacit consent and quickly ordered his subordinates to open the glass safe, take out the pills that were packed in a wooden box, and present them to Gu Momo with both hands.
"Ms. Gu, this is a small token of the association's appreciation. Please accept it."
Sitting next to Li Zhanting, Li Qingling looked at her beautiful aunt with admiration, just like a little fangirl, completely forgetting why she was there!
That pretty auntie is so cool! She's beautiful, has a great figure, and is so respected. Even Daddy has to pay for things, but she gets them for free!
Why isn't the pretty auntie her mommy?
Thinking of this, Li Qingling propped her chin up with one hand, pouted, and looked so pitiful that it was heartbreaking.
Gu Momo glanced at the box. She wasn't really interested in it; she just wanted to put Li Zhanting on the back. But since Director Chen had given it to her, she could accept the gift.
She got up and saw Li Qingling looking dejected. She thought she was upset because she had lost her pills, so she quickly waved to Qingling and said in a sweet voice, "Ling'er, come to Auntie's side. Auntie has something to tell you!"
When Li Qingling heard the pretty aunt call her name, her mind went blank for a moment, but she immediately regained her energy!
A pretty auntie is calling me!
She hopped off the chair with her short legs, her pink skirt billowing up and down with each step, looking incredibly cute.
As she approached Gu Momo, she didn't slow down at all, and rushed straight into her arms.
Gu Momo also knelt down and caught her with perfect understanding, hugging her tightly in her arms, a smile spreading across her eyes, blooming like a captivating flower.
