Chapter 85 Finding Fault
"That's what his father meant..." Li Jinxing smiled without any surprise, and the smile on the corner of his lips became a little more sarcastic: "I want to see how long he can hold on!"
"His father? Are you talking about the president of some chamber of commerce?" Nie Yao asked in surprise.
Li Jinxing nodded slightly. Nie Yao recalled the Chamber of Commerce president who had personally welcomed Li Jinxing in. He did look somewhat similar to Ji Minghuan...
Before Li Jinxing came, Ji Minghuan was in great glory at the charity auction. Perhaps it was because he was the president's son that everyone was kind of trying to please him. Even during the auction, no one dared to offend him openly!
However, at the final auction, the situation was broken. No one cared about the president's reputation anymore, and they kept raising their hands to bid, as if they were competing with him...
When Ji Minghuan raised the sign again, his expression had turned somewhat ugly.
Nie Yao saw this and almost burst out laughing. "I can see from Ji Minghuan's face that he's almost gnashing his teeth. This price must be painful for him, but why does he have to keep bidding?"
Li Jinxing sneered and replied indifferently: "For his father's and his own face, and for their business..."
"I really don't understand..." Nie Yao felt terrified when she saw the bid increasing by 10 million each time, as if her bidding just now was just a game!
In the end, the collection donated by Li Jinxing was not bought by Ji Minghuan, but was bought by another investor for 200 million yuan.
This price also set a record for the charity auction. The president of the Charity Federation once again came on stage to express his gratitude. There was applause from the audience, but Ji Minghuan's face was extremely gloomy.
If he hadn't been concerned about his father's reputation, he would probably have left the scene in anger.
As the donor of the collection, Li Jinxing went to the backstage with the investor who bought the collection to handle the handover procedures. Before leaving, he specifically instructed Nie Yao not to leave in a hurry.
Nie Yao simply sent away Assistant Mei sent by her father, and stayed alone at the charity dinner, waiting for Li Jinxing and occasionally eating something to fill her stomach.
But she vaguely sensed a pair of eyes staring at her back, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Nie Yao finished a piece of cake, turned around with a glass of lemon juice, and saw Ji Minghuan walking up to her at some point.
Perhaps it was because he saw the cream residue on the corner of her lips that Ji Minghuan curled up his lips into a mocking smile: "You seem to feel at ease eating here, but what good are the cakes in this kind of place..."
"It's just to fill my stomach. Since it's a dessert buffet at a charity gala, why can't I eat it with a clear conscience?"
Nie Yao just felt that his words were sarcastic and weird, so she raised her eyebrows and asked back.
Ji Minghuan frowned slightly. He had been holding back a lot of anger, but when he heard her say that, he just smiled coldly and said, "If you didn't know, you would have thought that even if the Nie family found you, you would still be abused by them. You are such a poor person. Don't bring shame to the Nie family..."
"Whether I have brought shame to the Nie family or not is not your turn to judge!"
Nie Yao no longer wanted to be nice to him and said coldly, "But you, Ji Minghuan, gritted your teeth and raised your bid just now, but still failed to bid for the grand finale. Do you feel that you have lost face for your family and come to pick a fight with me?"
