Chapter 71
Liu Qi glared fiercely at Wang Dalong, who responded with a simple, honest smile to all the strange looks from those around him.
Is he stupid? Of course he's not stupid! He's doing this to support the Rong family. If President Shang really cares about Miss Rong, wouldn't he appreciate it?
Wang Dalong was able to rise from humble beginnings as a country boy to become one of the bigwigs in B City, which means he must have both brains and skill.
When doing things, you need to be accurate in your judgment, quick in your actions, and ruthless in your resolve!
Wang Dalong was smug, and others who realized what was happening quickly followed suit.
"320,000!"
A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd. Wang Dalong glared angrily and turned his head to see who was competing with him.
Good heavens, it's Niu Zhiyong! That shameless bastard is always going against him!
"350,000!"
Wang Dalong raised the price again, and Niu Zhiyong was not to be outdone.
"380,000!"
Just as Wang Dalong was about to call out again, someone beat him to it.
"400,000!"
Surprisingly, even more people realized what was happening and began to support the Rong family and Rong Rong.
"450,000!"
"500,000!"
......
More and more people started bidding, and Wang Dalong was so angry that he was fuming. Liu Qi was even more furious.
In her imagination, everyone should ridicule, despise, and despise Rong Rong. No one should be willing to bid on Rong Rong's paintings, and she should become the only collection that is forcibly returned, recorded in the annals of history, and forever ridiculed.
But now, why are people willing to bid, and even raise the price higher and higher? They're just a bunch of lunatics, just like the crew of "Unreachable"!
Liu Qi was furious. She desperately tried to signal to the second-generation rich kids who had just ridiculed Rong Rong, hoping they would take the lead in bidding low prices. Unfortunately, for some reason, they all avoided her gaze.
Like Liu Qi, Yan Jin was also somewhat frustrated. So many people at the scene were giving face to the Rong family and merchants, which made him very unhappy.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually returning to normal, Wang Dalong suddenly stood up, raised a sign, and shouted, "2 million!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Two million is already a high price, and many people were already prepared to stop here. They were just giving face to the Shang and Rong families and supporting them was normal social interaction. But if someone like Wang Dalong were to raise the price so wildly that they were determined to buy the collectible, it would seem too low-class.
It's likely that only someone like Wang Dalong, an outsider to high society, or someone from a humble background, would do something so tasteless.
Niu Zhiyong hesitated, as if he was about to get up, when Wang Dalong immediately shouted, "5 million!"
"Hiss!" Niu Zhiyong gritted his teeth, glared at Wang Dalong, and fell silent. He couldn't bear to part with 5 million.
He might spend the money and still not be able to get a number with the Rong family or the Shang family, knowing how arrogant those nobles were.
Niu Zhiyong comforted himself like this, then looked at Wang Dalong with a foolish expression. Wang Dalong chuckled inwardly, knowing that Niu Zhiyong lacked perspective.
He's quick, decisive, and accurate in his actions! Only Wang Dalong has that kind of guts!
Finally, the painting by Rong Rong, which was part of Liu Qi's collection, was sold for 5 million RMB.
When the staff delivered the painting to Wang Dalong, the onlookers had various expressions: some were amused, some were curious, and some were admiring. Wang Dalong, however, wore a simple, honest smile and happily put the painting away.
The auction continued.
The situation became much calmer after that. Liu Qi kept looking towards the entrance of the venue, hoping that Rong Rong would arrive soon. She had prepared other surprises for her.
If one attempt wasn't enough to humiliate them, then she'd do it again; she was determined to get her revenge.
Just as the auction was halfway through, screams and commotion suddenly erupted at the entrance.
Everyone frowned and looked curiously towards the door, only to see a group of people rushing in from outside.
After they entered, they did not continue towards the venue. Instead, they lined up on both sides of the entrance, pushing and shoving each other, all looking at the entrance like a group of fans chasing after a star.
But how could that be? They saw that among this group of people were several popular celebrities, a few rising stars in the business world, but most of them were staff members of the venue.
"What are you doing?" Liu Qi was furious. She had been holding back her anger for a long time with nowhere to vent it. With the staff in such a mess, she finally found a target to vent her anger on.
Liu Qiteng stood up and strode aggressively toward the door; she was determined to get rid of these people.
Liu Qi was furious, but when he approached the door and saw the two people walking in, he suddenly froze on the spot, his face stiff and comical from shock.
A woman, more beautiful than anything in the world, dressed in a radiant gown, was walking gracefully toward her.
The other person's exquisite features were so beautiful that they defied description, overwhelming her thoughts and leaving her mind blank.
Her loosely styled hair exudes an elegant and casual beauty. Although it is slightly messy, it gives people a feeling of exquisite detail down to the last strand.
A magnificent diamond necklace and crown, if worn alone, would be dazzling, but when worn by someone, they appear so inconspicuous, serving only as embellishments to a woman's already stunning beauty.
At this moment, Liu Qi had forgotten everything. She didn't even notice the extremely handsome man she always paid attention to standing next to the beauty. She just stared intently at the beauty as she walked towards her step by step.
She grew increasingly flustered, unsure how to react to the beautiful woman's arrival or how to greet her.
However, all her worries were in vain. The beauty simply walked straight past her and left without giving her a single glance or a single word.
Liu Qi suddenly turned around and saw more and more people rushing towards the beauty.
Everyone seemed to have gone mad and lost their minds.
People were speaking to the beauty with eagerness, infatuation, greed, excitement, and fervor, trying to get close to her. But soon dozens of bodyguards rushed in from outside the door, quickly following the beauty and keeping the frenzied crowd at bay.
Who is she? When did such a goddess appear in City B? Or rather, when did a goddess descend to earth?
Liu Qi was in a panic, unable to sort out her thoughts, when suddenly a voice exploded in her ear, making her vision go black and almost causing her to faint.
"Rong Rong!" Qiu Xing happily approached Rong Rong and called out to her.
Shang Feng's eyes were sharp, like those of a domineering dragon, as he guarded his princess and glared warily at Qiu Xing.
Rong Rong suddenly smiled, causing a gasp of surprise.
"Rong Rong?"
"Could it be the eldest daughter of the Rong family?"
"It's her? How could that be? Impossible!"
"Miss Rong isn't like that. She's a 'punk' girl, isn't she supposed to be ugly? How could she be so... so..."
"So beautiful! So beautiful! I'm going crazy! Why did she always wear such heavy makeup? Who taught her that? I'll kill that person!"
"How stupid of me! How come I didn't even notice the real face under the heavy makeup?"
"No wonder Shang Feng and Qiu Xing were both won over by her; who could resist her charm? If only I had known... if only I had known..."
"What did we know beforehand?" The man didn't say it, but everyone tacitly agreed.
If they had known that Miss Rong was a rare treasure and that she was right beside them, they would have cherished her dearly and held her close to their hearts long ago.
We will never give anyone else a chance!
