Chapter 1307: Chapter 1234: Each Cry Louder than the Last
The charity auction at the Jiang’s Wang Charity Gala continues, with fervor intensifying.
In just an hour, ten items have been snatched up in the bidding frenzy, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
Wang Xinmo, wearing a smile, taps his right index finger on the table, while his heart swims in doubt.
Up till now, those three have made no moves, as if they’re just watching the excitement.
Don’t they want to bid for anything?
"Could it be, the items they are interested in are yet to come?"
Five precious items are yet to make their appearance at the auction.
Wang Xinmo trusts his judgment, so he remains unwavering.
The Luo Family Siblings, Luo Jiahao and Luo Jiaqi, can’t help starting to feel anxious.
Be it to spite those three or to obtain what Ron desires, to present it as an offering to mend ties, both aspects are crucial.
But what if "Little Prince" has guessed wrong and they don’t really want to bid at all?
Wouldn’t that leave the siblings doubly disappointed?
The Luo Family Siblings even begin to brood in frustration.
"The next item up for auction is a Small Regular Script Calligraphy Collection, a ’Ling Fei Script’ by a Ming Time master calligrapher..."
As Xuexin introduces the item, the crowd explodes in excitement.
Many connoisseurs are present.
This calligraphy collection is without a doubt a treasure!
Even Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes shine as he suddenly lifts his head.
"Xiaosheng, are you interested in that calligraphy collection?" Lin Weiwei quickly asks upon noticing Bai Xiaosheng’s reaction.
Lei Ying turns to look as well.
"I just remembered, Sir Xiahou Qi’s birthday is coming up. He adores calligraphy, especially regular script. This collection would make the perfect birthday gift!" Bai Xiaosheng speaks in a hushed tone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nod in agreement.
They should surely purchase it!
Onstage, Xuexin is already smiling with the opening bid, "The starting price for this calligraphy collection is two million."
"Two million two hundred thousand!"
"Two million four hundred thousand!"
"Two million six hundred thousand!"
The calligraphy enthusiasts in attendance eagerly raise their bidding paddles and call out their prices, driving the calligraphy collection past the three-million mark.
The pace of bidding begins to slow.
"Four million!"
A deep, resonant voice rings out, the bidding like a drumbeat, instantly silencing the hall.
Someone has raised the bid by a million!
The crowd looks on astonished, turning their heads to see who it is.
Next to a table in the third row, a burly man sits, raising his bid paddle.
At Bai Xiaosheng’s cue, Lei Ying finally raises his voice.
Standing by, Yue looks at the three distinguished guests she is hosting in amazement, simultaneously unable to suppress her excitement.
Why do they all hope to guide the guests? Beyond the bonuses, if her guests win an auction, they earn a hefty commission!
If the final price is four million, her commission would be...
Yue inwardly rejoices, equally surprised at Bai Xiaosheng and his peers.
These young individuals are indeed wealthy, befitting of the event’s esteemed guests!
Wang Xinmo and the Luo Family Siblings sitting in the front row, realizing it’s those three, instantly become alert.
"So, this is what they are after!"
"To bid four million right off the bat? Where did these people get so much money? They must be acting for Ron!"
"We must secure this auction item! Crush them thoroughly, make them fail their mission and face punishment. Then, we can offer the item to Ron and mend our relationship. Father will surely support our approach!"
Their thoughts differ.
Luo Jiahao leans towards Wang Xinmo, offering a smile, "Little Prince, please let this auction item go and leave it to the Luo Family."
Wang Xinmo contemplates briefly.
His men, watching from the surveillance, spot that it is the big man from the trio raising the bid, not the beautiful woman.
Then, this item could be the very thing Ron wants.
Since the woman seems indifferent, with no apparent desire, it wouldn’t hurt to let the Luo siblings have it.
"Presenting a calligraphy collection to a beautiful woman, what’s that about? Moreover, it’s not even what she wants. If she has no interest in this auction, I’ll think of another way to approach her later," Wang Xinmo considers silently.
With that thought, he offers Luo Jiahao a slight smile, "Well, I’ll let you have this one!"
"Thank you, Little Prince," Luo Jiahao says with a smile.
Luo Jiaqi eagerly rubs her hands together.
"Five million! Any higher bids?"
Onstage, Xuexin inquires with a smile, and as more bids come in, Lei Ying shouts five million!
The room grows quiet; no more bids are heard.
Even those who are not short on money set a value limit in their heart for each item, ceasing to bid once that threshold is passed.
"Five million, if there are no further bids, it shall belong to that gentleman!" Xuexin declares with a smile.
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
A slightly urgent shout comes forth from Wang Xinmo’s table.
Luo Jiahao holds up his bid paddle high.
The entire hall promptly falls silent, all eyes turning to that spot.
Even though it’s not clear, to be seated at the same table with "Little Prince" means one is no ordinary person.
Many people begin to whisper amongst themselves.
"Who’s sitting with ’Little Prince’ today?"
"I heard it’s the Luo Family from the south side."
"Oh, that Luo Family has several cooperations with the Wang Family this year."
"What cooperation? I’d say the Luo Family is seeking a powerful backer at a loss!"
Even with their masks, the presence of Luo Jiahao and Luo Jiaqi is widely known, and sitting with Wang Xinmo is like wearing a label; they are instantly recognized by everyone in the hall.
