Chapter 309: Chapter 309: The World of the Rich is Too Terrifying

Jiang Wanze: "Big Brother wants to bid on this novel? What’s so special about this novel? And his bidding, it’s strange, it doesn’t seem like he truly wants to acquire this work, but rather he’s simply competing with those two people behind him."

Thinking back to the look Big Brother had given them at the entrance of the building, Jiang Wanze’s suspicions deepened; Big Brother must know them.

Ye Xian began to lose her composure. Once or twice could be coincidence, but this was the third time! CEO, are you serious?

Ye Shaowen clenched her hand, "Don’t worry, if you want it, Second Brother will definitely get it for you."

Ye Shaowen: "Eight million!"

"Ah..."

As his words fell, everyone in the venue looked at him in shock. Eight million? Couldn’t be, such a minor work! Were these two men in black the foolish sons of some wealthy landowner, with too much money to spend?

Bo Tingshen: "8.1 million"

The crowd: "..." This novel must have something extraordinary about it, worth a deeper look!

"Big Brother?"

Jiang Wanze couldn’t suppress his curiosity and looked at him.

Bo Tingshen, however, remained silent, his slender fingers tapping on the mahogany table, one tap at a time, like a wild beast patiently toying with its prey.

Ye Xian, seeing his calm and composed silhouette, felt as if her mentality had collapsed into a mudslide.

It was over, it seemed the CEO was determined to get this novel, ready to fight her to the end.

How could this be! She had been so down on her luck recently and just when she had found a way out, someone was cutting her off? If it had been anyone else it might have been bearable, but it had to be the CEO, with Star Entertainment’s formidable financial resources. How could she compete with him? Wasn’t this like throwing eggs against a rock?

She had thought that with the script in hand, her life was about to take off, but it turned out to be a false start!

So, the CEO didn’t bid on "Red Beauty’s Smile" earlier just so he could go for "Conquest of the World"? Then... considering both narratives were evenly matched in the data that followed, the original trajectory of the novel hadn’t changed at all!

The leads would benefit equally whether they acted in "Red Beauty’s Smile" or "Conquest of the World"!

And the reason why "Red Beauty’s Smile" became popular was not just because of the novel’s own popularity, but also because of the collaboration of Star Entertainment’s top team and the added appeal of Jiang Wanze and Luo Yuwei. Meanwhile in the original "Conquest of the World", it was purely the strong storyline that made it a hit. Now, with Star Entertainment producing "Conquest of the World", one could imagine it would be even more popular than in the original work!

Everything was progressing towards a better scenario as per the script trajectory, everything remained unchanged, the only thing that changed was, she thought she was about to turn her life around and walk into a brighter path, but in the end, it was all empty effort.

Bo Tingshen relentlessly pressed on, keeping the bidding increments exactly at 10,000, clearly playing psychological games, while Ye Shaowen was known for his poor mental state, "10 million!"

"10.10 million"

"15 million!"

"15.10 million"

"20 million!"

"20.10 million"

"..."

The people in the auction house were already dumbfounded, like a monkey jumping around a melon field, utterly ridiculous!

This price had already exceeded "Red Beauty’s Smile", and the speed at which both sides were bidding made it seem as if ten million was just a number, not real money.

The world of the wealthy is too terrifying!

As a teacup emptied, a staff member at the venue refilled Bo Tingshen’s cup.

Bo Tingshen picked up his teacup and gently toyed with it in his hands, his fingertips caressing the warm cup walls, his actions elegant and composed, which seemed incredibly provocative in the eyes of Ye Shaowen and Ye Xian.

Ye Shaowen was furious, "50 million!"
