Chapter 774: Seven hundred and sixty-nine, spend hundreds of thousands on a fan

And just at the moment that voice appeared, everyone’s gaze shifted over.

They all clearly saw who had just spoken.

No one had expected Gu Chen to dare to place a bid of five hundred thousand at this time.

This was a whole five hundred thousand, not a small sum by any means.

Such matters were no joke.

At that moment, everyone looked at Gu Chen very seriously, to confirm that he wasn’t just joking around.

At this very moment, Gu Chen’s expression was also extremely serious.

He didn’t seem to be messing around with everyone there.

Tong Jingxin, who had been absolutely certain he would win the item, felt his face turn cold instantly when he heard Gu Chen’s bid.

At that time, his gaze began to darken bit by bit.

The chairman, upon hearing Gu Chen’s bid, was also momentarily stunned. He had not expected Gu Chen to actually spend so much money on such an item.

Spending hundreds of thousands on such an item really seemed too much of a loss, even for someone with money to burn.

So at that moment, he was checking to see if Gu Chen was merely confused and talking nonsense, right?

But Gu Chen looked very serious at that moment, which didn’t seem like he was spouting nonsense.

And just then, the auctioneer on stage didn’t care about all that.

"Do we have any higher bids from the guests present? Five hundred thousand for the first time!"

The auctioneer encouraged higher bids to continue the auction.

However, it was obviously futile, for while most people present could afford hundreds of thousands, none of them would spend that much on such an item.

After all, their money didn’t come from thin air; they knew how to spend it wisely, but not to waste it like this.

In comparison, they now thought that Gu Chen seemed a bit too extravagant.

Taking out so much money as if it were just for show.

There were so many better ways to spend money, yet he chose to spend it here.

Maybe in others’ eyes, Gu Chen was just being a bit wasteful, but to that person, Gu Chen seemed to be provoking.

Tong Jingxin’s gaze was fixed firmly on Gu Chen, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

His look was no longer simply angry but more like wanting to flay Gu Chen on the spot.

"I bid five hundred and fifty thousand!" he said bluntly.

He raised the bid even higher than what Gu Chen had offered.

Everyone was a bit disbelieving when they heard the price being pushed higher.

But it was clear to the discerning eye that the auction item was no longer important; the two men seemed to be at loggerheads.

Gu Chen, upon hearing his bid, simply glanced at him indifferently.

Then, Gu Chen said nothing.

After the auctioneer repeated the reminder three times,

the item indeed ended up in the hands of Tong Jingxin.

People didn’t know quite what to say.

Spending hundreds of thousands for such a shabby fan would seem outright insane.

Gu Chen didn’t say anything at that moment, and even his face bore a hint of regret. He truly did want to spend hundreds of thousands to purchase the fan, but had not expected this guy to go against him.

If that was the case, Gu Chen was not going to be polite; he was fine with letting him have the item.

And when Tong Jingxin had spent hundreds of thousands on that shabby fan, there was no smile on his face.

Even at that moment, one could clearly see his face contorting with displeasure.

Spending so much money on such an object, no one could easily accept that.

And especially under such circumstances, his heart felt even more stifled.

"No wonder he’s from Yancheng, really rich."

Gu Chen, as if possessed by a demon, said such a sentence at that moment.

Everything was quite alright before Gu Chen said that.

It was as if the sea was calm and the waves were still.

But after Gu Chen uttered those words, in an instant, the gaze of everyone present shifted towards him.

And at the same time, after hearing it, everyone couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Spending several hundred thousand on such a worthless item, indeed, only someone from Yancheng could do such a thing.

At that moment, everyone was whispering among themselves, but it was obvious that they were all looking at Tong Jingxin with a bit of ridicule.

For everyone there, the act of the moment was like that of a patient with a disease.

If he weren’t sick, he wouldn’t have spent so much money on that thing.

Everyone was secretly mocking him here.

Upon hearing this, Tong Jingxin’s face became incredibly angry in an instant.

At that moment, he slowly turned his gaze toward Gu Chen over there.

For a moment, it felt as though he wanted to tear Gu Chen into pieces.

"Kid, I dare you to say that again."

As he said this, it seemed as though he was about to start a fight with Gu Chen right there and then.

This scene, when seen by everyone, made them all frown.

No one thought this guy had any dignity; instead, they felt he was undisciplined.

In such a formal auction setting, with so many guests present, his sudden appearance as if ready to start a fight was quite embarrassing and inappropriate.

However, considering he was from Yancheng, nobody took it too seriously.

So, at that moment, everyone could only stay silent, although everyone felt a certain resistance toward him.

The auctioneer also quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please refrain from arguing, return to your seats, as we are about to present the next lot."

The auctioneer hurriedly said this.

The kid seemed somewhat reluctant, but in the end, he sat back down.

When sitting down, his eyes never left Gu Chen.

However, with so many people around, he couldn’t really do anything to Gu Chen.

"The next lot to be presented is a ring, an Emerald Ring from the Nanga Coast.

The starting bid is still 100,000 yuan, with each increment not less than 1,000 yuan."

It seemed like all the items in the auction were starting above 100,000 yuan.

This left Gu Chen slightly surprised.

However, Gu Chen really had no interest in these jewels or anything like that.

So, during the next several rounds, Gu Chen did not participate.

Because such things would only be a burden to him if bought, and the fan he originally wanted to give as a gift, he didn’t win either.

His face remained calm and collected.

It was at that moment that time passed by little by little.

Soon, the auction came to the last item.

"The next item we’re going to auction is also the highlight of this auction event, and I believe countless guests have already heard about this last lot.

Before officially presenting it to everyone, let me give you a brief introduction."
