Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Auction Contest

"Miss, aren’t you disrespecting me too much?"

"I’m not boasting, but in South Korea, there hasn’t been anyone who dares to disrespect me!"

"Oh, by the way! The seas have been rather rough lately, and since you’re foreigners, you should be careful. Otherwise, if something were to happen, it would be hard for your family to find out," Li Xinen hinted, veiling his threat to Leng Qianqian.

On the other hand, he was trying to showcase his strength and domineering side.

"Are you threatening me?"

"..." Who knew that when Leng Qianqian turned around, her icy gaze frightened Li Xinen so much that his legs went weak, and he almost wet himself.

In an instant, Li Xinen felt he wasn’t locking eyes with a person but with a tiger, a lion, a wolf, or some other fierce beast!

Moreover, this stare-down was taking place in the wild, not in a zoo.

Locking eyes with a fierce beast like a lion in the wild, with no glass or fences for protection, one can imagine how dreadful the outcome would be.

How could this woman’s eyes be so terrifying?

Am I overthinking it?

Li Xinen still wanted to say something.

But then he heard the host’s voice on the stage in front of him.

Announcing that the charity auction was officially starting.

"..." The words Li Xinen had on the tip of his tongue, he could only swallow.

Worried that his agitated emotions would disrupt the charity auction, he could get kicked off the cruise ship.

As for the actual controller behind this cruise ship, Li Xinen was well aware.

The Kim Family!

They were something he couldn’t afford to offend; throwing around tough talk was one thing.

Soon, after the opening remarks were concluded, the first auction item was unveiled from under the red cloth.

It was a strand of gemstone necklace called the Heart of the Ocean.

The central blue gemstone truly gave one a sense of the ocean.

Very clear, no impurities to be seen.

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand US dollars!" announced the host.

That’s equal to seven hundred thousand won, not a cheap starting price.

"One hundred ten thousand US dollars!" someone raised their hand.

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

"One hundred twenty-five thousand."

"One hundred thirty thousand!"

...

The atmosphere suddenly ignited.

Chen Wei turned his head and noticed Leng Qianqian intently focusing on that blue gemstone and asked, "Do you like it?"

"As long as it’s bought by you, I like it."

"..." Chen Wei had to admit, Leng Qianqian knew the art of speaking quite well.

After all, she was his senior.

So, Chen Wei raised his hand.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Li Xinen from behind, who jumped in with, "I bid three hundred thousand US dollars!"

This amount stunned the entire room.

Those who were about to raise their paddles and call out bids hurriedly dropped their arms, fearing they might call out the wrong price and be unable to bear the cost.

At the same time, their gazes turned toward Li Xinen.

Realizing it was him, they began to flatter.

"Who else could be so generous with their money? It turns out to be President Li of the Six Star Group."

"Hahaha, since President Li has made his move, it looks like the rest of us probably have no chance."

"Give up, just give up, how can we possibly take away something President Li wants?"

...

Hearing these voices singing his praises, Li Xinen immediately turned his gaze onto Leng Qianqian.

He wanted to see her look surprised, admire him.

But to his disappointment, she remained indifferent.

She didn’t even bother to glance his way.

"..." Li Xinen.

Playing hard to get, are you?

Li Xinen consoled himself.

Thinking about how Leng Qianqian would definitely transform into a groveling dog, begging him to give her the necklace after he got it.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand US dollars for the first time!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand US dollars for the second time!"

"Three hundred and fifty..."

As the auctioneer’s words were halfway through, Chen Wei raised his hand and called out in time, "One million US dollars."

"One, one million! You’re not joking, are you?"

Bang!

Even when Li Xinen heard this, he somewhat doubted his life, slamming the table as he stood up.

"Sir, please calm down and do not disturb the auction," a security guard approached.

"Sorry." Realizing his impulsiveness, Li Xinen quickly sat back down.

Then the auctioneer confirmed again and again, "Sir, are you truly planning to buy this necklace for one million US dollars? It’s US dollars, not South Korean won."

One really couldn’t blame the auctioneer for treating Chen Wei specially, but such an exaggerated price increase was simply too striking.

There were no tricks or fanciness involved, it was just using the price to pressure others into silence.

Without the capital, they also lacked the courage.

"I confirm," Chen Wei nodded.

"Alright, one million for the first time!"

"One million..."

Listening to the words coming from the stage, Li Xinen, thinking he was offering good advice, said to Chen Wei, "I won’t keep bidding against you, I advise you to just run off."

"If they find out you don’t have that one million US dollars, they won’t let you off."

Seemingly offering good advice, but in reality, he wanted to add insult to injury, an utter heart-stab!

"..." Chen Wei made no response to that.

This guy!

Giggle giggle giggle!

Li Xinen gnashed his teeth, his hatred for Chen Wei reaching an unprecedented peak.

Unable to restrain himself, he blurted out an old Great Xia saying, "Ignore the old man’s words and suffer in front of your eyes, let’s wait and see!"

"One million for the third time! Let us congratulate that gentleman over there, for winning the Heart of the Ocean necklace at the price of one million US dollars," the auctioneer announced.

Afterward, Chen Wei proactively asked the staff to swipe his card, getting the Heart of the Ocean necklace ahead of time and putting it on Leng Qianqian.

When it was confirmed by the staff that Chen Wei had indeed paid one million US dollars for the Heart of the Ocean necklace.

..." Li Xinen’s smile stiffened, and he couldn’t quite manage to laugh anymore.

It felt as if his face had been slapped by someone—an unseen aggressor—yet the stinging pain was unmistakably real!

Just who was this kid?

To actually be able to shell out one million US dollars!

Li Xinen refused to believe this was possible.

His gaze suddenly hardened; for the next auction item, he vowed to properly deflate Chen Wei’s arrogance, no matter what!

He couldn’t let Chen Wei be the only one seizing all the attention!

Li Xinen did not want to lose face in front of the woman he liked.

Today, at any cost, he would impress upon both of them his own financial power!

And make Chen Wei realize the magnitude of the gap between them!

So that Leng Qianqian could not resist the allure of his wealth, his mountains of gold and silver.

The ultimate beauty willingly throwing herself into his arms.

Just the thought was exhilarating.

"The starting bid is fifty thousand US dollars!"

Li Xinen was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he totally didn’t pay attention to what the auctioneer had said earlier.

Upon hearing "fifty thousand US dollars," he immediately made a bid, "I bid two hundred thousand!"

Sure enough, faced with that astronomical figure, no one dared to raise a paddle.

Glancing at Chen Wei, he lacked the guts as well.

Now, Li Xinen felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Two hundred thousand US dollars for the first time!"

"Two hundred thousand US dollars for the second time!"

"Two hundred thousand US dollars for the third time!"

"Let us congratulate President Li for winning this painting, ’Carefree,’ sponsored by the big star Park En-lie, at the price of two hundred thousand US dollars," the auctioneer announced.
