Yuan Heng was mesmerized and murmured, "Ah Lang, when it's developed, I'll have to reserve a villa on the mountaintop."
“No,” Ning Lang said.
Yuan Heng turned his devilishly handsome face towards him and raised an eyebrow.
Ning Lang looked into his phoenix eyes and slowly shook her head.
Yuan Heng fell silent, knowing this topic couldn't be continued. Once fewer people were around, he would ask her more carefully why it wasn't okay.
Suddenly, Sheng Ju, who was in the front row, stood up, holding his phone in his hand, and strode out.
Sheng Xuan raised his eyebrows warily, watching his figure disappear through the doorway, then turned to look at Ning Lang.
Ning Lang sat calmly, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Sheng Xuan immediately guessed that it was she who had done it!
Could it be that she... planted someone next to Sheng Ju?
He swallowed hard and nudged her elbow with his large hand.
Ning Lang turned her pretty face away, her voice muffled: "You've paid for your ticket, now you just need to enjoy the show."
Sheng Xuan chuckled softly, his hand involuntarily reaching up to cover his smiling mouth.
A moment later, Shengju returned, his well-maintained and prosperous face beaming with smiles. He sat back down next to his son and began to whisper to him.
Just then, the projection on the big screen ended.
The emcee gave an excited speech and quickly moved on to the auction.
The starting price was 5 billion, a price that deterred many, and only a handful of people participated in the bidding.
Jiang Lirong did not hold back. Every time someone raised the price, he calmly raised his paddle and kept raising the price.
Shengju's assistant kept raising signs while cautiously watching his boss's expression.
More than three minutes passed, and the atmosphere on the field became tense.
Only the Ming and Sheng families remained in the competition, and the price soared from the initial 5 billion to 7 billion. Many people in the room were sweating profusely, while others watched the show with curiosity.
Yuan Heng narrowed his eyes, watching Jiang Lirong in the front row show no mercy, and clicked his tongue twice inwardly.
"Ah Lang, the Ming family is really well-funded... Guess how many hundred million they'll win?"
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "More than nine billion."
Yuan Heng was somewhat incredulous. "No way? Working this hard?"
“Because there’s a reason to fight.” Ning Lang chuckled softly.
The price quickly soared to eight billion!
The room was completely silent, except for the auctioneer, who was sweating profusely and kept repeating the prices, his voice trembling slightly at the end, clearly extremely nervous.
Sheng Yu could no longer sit still and kept turning her head to glare at Jiang Lirong.
Lin Huier, standing next to Jiang Lirong, kept glancing nervously at him, and even secretly tugged at the hem of Jiang Lirong's clothes.
Ming Haoyuan's face was slightly pale, his hands were awkwardly crossed, and he seemed quite uneasy.
Sheng Ju unconsciously loosened his collar, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his sweat, his fingertips trembling incessantly.
A moment later, Jiang Lirong tugged at his suit jacket and suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Nine billion!"
The crowd erupted in uproar!
Originally, the price was 8.3 billion, but unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle and refined general manager of the Ming Group suddenly raised the price to 9 billion!
Sheng Ju was startled, and his chubby son, Sheng Yu, roared furiously, "Nine billion!"
Yuan Heng suppressed a laugh and whispered, "Why isn't it a boxing match? Otherwise, it would be so much more exciting!"
Ning Lang and Sheng Xuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
Just then, Lin Huier, who was next to Jiang Lirong, suddenly fainted and slumped against him!
He seemed startled and hurriedly helped her up, then handed her to his assistant.
Just then, the auctioneer repeated: "Nine billion for the first time! Nine billion for the second time!"
Jiang Lirong seemed to have lost interest in bidding and hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Get Miss Lin to the emergency room!"
Those nearby scrambled to help, offering assistance or support.
The auctioneer shouted repeatedly, "Nine billion, for the third time!"
Then he raised the auction gavel high—and finally brought it down!
