Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Liu Ying’s Cooperation

"Wearing this Ebony Sandalwood bracelet for a long time not only invigorates the spirit but also nourishes the complexion, beautifies the appearance, and delays aging!"

Tang Fengming stroked the Ebony Sandalwood bracelet and asked in a deep voice, "I bid thirty million Federation Coins, is there anyone offering higher?"

The room fell silent.

Thirty million Federation Coins! Not everyone can just whip out that kind of money.

Though sitting among them were tycoons with net worths over a billion, few were willing to spend tens of millions of Federation Coins on a bracelet.

They might as well give Tang Fengming face!

He was the owner of Treasure Pavilion and the chairman of the East Sea City Antique Association, with a great passion for antiques and curios, which is why he would buy it for his collection.

Especially a fossil bracelet from thousands of years ago, which holds significant research value—if it could be displayed in his own shop, it would be truly meaningful!

Song Qingfei smiled faintly and said, "Since there are no more bids, then I declare this Ebony Sandalwood bracelet goes to Tang..."

"Hold on!"

The voice had not yet faded when another voice rang out.

The crowd turned to see that it was Liu Ying, seated in the first row, who had spoken.

"Ms. Liu, you also want to buy this bracelet?" someone asked.

"Exactly, I also want this Ebony Sandalwood bracelet, and I bid forty million Federation Coins!"

Liu Ying smiled charmingly, her face flashing with excitement as she spoke with determination.

What?

Forty million Federation Coins!

Everyone was surprised.

Nobody expected that Liu Ying, the CEO of the Liu Group, also wanted to bid on the bracelet, outbidding Tang Fengming by a full ten million Federation Coins!

Both had stature—one the CEO of the Liu Group, the other the owner of Treasure Pavilion. It was unclear whose home the bracelet would ultimately go to.

"Ms. Liu, I’d like to know why you want this bracelet?"

Tang Fengming frowned and asked.

Thirty million Federation Coins was already the highest price he could offer. He thought no one would contend with him, but the opponent bid forty million Federation Coins.

This was beyond his financial capability!

"Mr. Tang, I’m truly sorry, but I must get my hands on this Ebony Sandalwood bracelet. However, I’m not buying it for myself but rather for an elder in my family who is celebrating a birthday, so I would like to gift him this Ebony Sandalwood," Liu Ying said, her beautiful eyes looking at Tang Fengming with a hint of apology.

"The elder, is he ill?" Tang Fengming suddenly asked.

"Exactly, the old gentleman’s health has not been good."

"Well then, even if I disagreed, it wouldn’t matter. I can’t afford forty million Federation Coins, so the Ebony Sandalwood bracelet will have to go to you," Tang Fengming said helplessly.

He had previously said Ebony Sandalwood has the effect of prolonging life and nourishing the body. Since Liu Ying intended it for saving a respected family elder, it stemmed purely from filial piety.

"Ms. Liu, this Ebony Sandalwood bracelet is yours now, congratulations," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, turning his head towards Liu Ying, who was sitting beside him.

"I haven’t even thanked CEO Lin Tong yet; to actually part with something as rare as Ebony Sandalwood, I must ask Ye Xuan to convey my heartfelt thanks to CEO Lin Tong," Liu Ying said with a coquettish smile, glancing at Lin Tong next to her, her charming face revealing a smile.

"No need, I am simply showing compassion and contributing to charity," Lin Tong said coolly, a cold beauty on her pretty face.

Seeing the two women nearly starting an argument, Ye Xuan gave an awkward smile and wisely chose to shut his mouth.

At this moment, a cheongsam-clad beauty with a tray approached Liu Ying, presenting the bracelet to her.

Liu Ying also took out her bank card and handed it over to Ye Xuan with a smile.

"This asshole, actually managed to produce something so valuable and sell it for such a high price."

Seeing this scene, Song Shaopeng’s face darkened. He had intended to deeply humiliate Ye Xuan but instead allowed Ye Xuan to steal all the limelight.

Instead, he had humiliated himself!

Song Shaopeng felt indignant. He was unable to swallow this affront and stood up in a fit of rage, having already forgotten Zhao Banshan’s earlier cautions.

He glared fiercely at Ye Xuan and sneered, "I want everyone here to bear witness, starting from today, the Song Family will withdraw all support for the Eastern Group and terminate all cooperation!"

The crowd was visibly surprised, clearly seeing that Song Shaopeng was a sore loser and intended to target the Songfang Group with his withdrawal.

Lin Tong’s face changed. She hadn’t expected Song Shaopeng to make such a statement in front of so many people, obviously antagonizing the Eastern Group!

Her expression became ugly. Although the Song Family had previously withdrawn funds, they still retained some cooperative projects.

Now, with all support being retracted, the financial situation of the Eastern Group was dire, to say the least.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, an icy glint flickering within. This Song Shaopeng had repeatedly and provocatively tested his limits. Did he truly think Ye Xuan wouldn’t dare to annihilate his entire Song Family?

Just then, a resonant voice came from the crowd.

"Brother Ye, rest assured, the Xie Family is willing to partner with the Eastern Group."

Hearing this voice, Ye Xuan immediately recognized that it was Xie Fenglin speaking.

"Ha ha, big shot Xie, do you even dare to speak for the Xie Family? Chenyu, it seems your elder brother isn’t giving you much face," Song Shaopeng sneered, glancing at Xie Chenyu in the crowd.

"Brother, when did it become your turn to call the shots in the family? I’m telling you now, the Xie Family will definitely not fund the Eastern Group," Xie Chenyu retorted dismissively, deliberately raising his voice.

Upon hearing this, Xie Fenglin’s expression darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Xie Chenyu was publicly slapping him in the face. But Xie Fenglin was powerless, being someone of low status within the family, not even his younger brother took him seriously.

Seeing Xie Fenglin remain silent, Song Shaopeng’s smile widened.

Even if your stone bracelet was worth a city and fetched 40 million, what of it?

Without the Song Family’s support, the Eastern Group is just waiting for bankruptcy and closure. Let’s see who can save you now.

Thinking this, Song Shaopeng was smug, his gaze at Ye Xuan filled with mockery.

"CEO Lin Tong, our Liu Group recently has a project. Since the Song Family has withdrawn funding, it would be perfect to collaborate with your Eastern Group. Would you be interested?" Liu Ying looked at Lin Tong with a smile, speaking slowly.

What!

The Liu Group wants to partner with the Eastern Group?

Liu Ying’s words caused most of the audience to show surprise, their gazes all turning towards Lin Tong and Ye Xuan.

Song Shaopeng’s smile stiffened on his face, feeling as if he had been slapped hard.

He had just announced his withdrawal of funds, and Liu Ying had already proposed partnering with the Eastern Group, darkening his expression considerably.

"Miss Liu, do you really want to collaborate with our Eastern Group?" Lin Tong asked as well, her face filled with surprise and delight.

She was very aware of the Liu Group’s status in East Sea City.

If they could collaborate with the Liu Group, the Eastern Group could completely break away from the Song Family, transfer all the funding, and develop its own brand. This was what she had been striving for.

"Yes, I can decide to collaborate with your Eastern Group, but I have one condition," Liu Ying enunciated, her enticing red lips parting in a seductive smile.

"What condition?"

"The partner must be Ye Xuan. I’ll only sign the contract with him," Liu Ying stated.
