Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Bidding and Cooperation

Wei Hongjun was already beside himself with excitement, seeing the Emperor Green about to fall into his hands.

Suddenly, a Cheng Yaojin came out of nowhere, offering an even higher bid than his own, and he immediately froze, his complexion took on an unsightly tinge.

In the jewelry business, Wei Hongjun was the dragon among men, and the way he had earlier raised the price so significantly was clear indication enough; he was warning everyone present to back off, that he was going to secure the Emperor Green for himself!

But now, someone else had the audacity to enter a bidding war with him, which was not only a challenge to him but a blatant disregard for Wei Hongjun.

With a stony face, Wei Hongjun looked over and saw Liu Ying approaching from the edge of the crowd, his brow furrowing into a look of astonishment.

He hadn’t expected it to be this woman!

Before, Liu Ying had been following Ye Xuan closely; he had thought she was Ye Xuan’s girlfriend and had not taken her seriously.

But now, with her offering five hundred million to purchase the Emperor Green, it was apparent the two weren’t a couple; otherwise, it wouldn’t have come to this!

"Miss, what do you mean by this? Could you perhaps give Wei some face and let me have the Emperor Green?"

With a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes, Wei Hongjun said to Liu Ying with a composed but stern face.

The fact that she could so effortlessly come up with a five hundred million bid meant she clearly wasn’t just anybody, as he could only manage to go as high as three hundred million himself.

Although he reigned supreme in the jewelry industry with absolute authority, there were plenty of others who outshone him outside his realm of expertise.

If someone from another industry was here to cut into his profits, he really had no way of handling it!

At least, Wei Hongjun wasn’t so arrogant as to disregard everyone.

In an auction, it all came down to who could bid higher; someone wealthier than him had offered five hundred million, and naturally, the highest bid would win.

Therefore, despite his dissatisfaction, Wei Hongjun still suppressed his anger, adopting a negotiable tone as he spoke.

"Boss Wei, I too am quite fond of this Emperor Green."

Liu Ying smiled softly, not outright rejecting him, but her words made it clear she wasn’t going to back down.

After speaking, Liu Ying’s lips curled up into a smile; her long eyelashes fluttered, and the corners of her mouth revealed a grin tinged with both cunning and mystery.

Ye Xuan, observant as ever, quickly realized this woman must have some ulterior motive.

For a moment, his gaze towards Wei Hongjun was filled with a hint of pity.

Poor CEO Wei had first been tricked by him, and now, it seemed he was about to fall into another trap set by Liu Ying.

It appeared Wei really should have stayed at home today as it wasn’t his day to be out and about.

Upon hearing Liu Ying’s words, Wei Hongjun’s face grew even more displeased, yet he was powerless to change the situation.

However, he hadn’t given up and still somewhat reluctantly said:

"Miss, I truly need this piece of Emperor Green. Consider it a favor owed to you by Wei; could you possibly relent and let it go?"

To secure the Emperor Green, Wei Hongjun was left with no choice but to shamelessly invoke a personal favor.

"Boss Wei, I really do love this piece of Emperor Green."

Liu Ying’s smile bloomed beautifully, and seeing Wei Hongjun’s crestfallen expression, her lips quirked upward before she deftly changed the subject:

"However, since Boss Wei is also keen on it, I am willing to let you have the Emperor Green, but I wonder if Boss Wei is a man of his word?"

Hmm?

Having been ready to accept defeat, Wei Hongjun was startled by her remark.

But he quickly recovered and nodded promptly, "Of course, my word is my bond!"

He knew that Liu Ying wouldn’t make such a statement unless she needed the favor; it seemed that his decision to invoke a personal favor wasn’t mistaken.

"Good, Mr. Wei is indeed a straightforward person, so I will speak frankly,"

Liu Ying smiled lightly and said directly, "I hope Mr. Wei could collaborate with Liu Group and become a brand consultant for the jewelry line under Liu Group. What do you think about that, Mr. Wei?"

Actually, Liu Ying had come to the antique market this time specifically to talk about a partnership with Wei Hongjun, and trying her luck at the stone gambling was merely a side activity.

She knew Wei Hongjun was a very proud man, that’s why she hesitated earlier at Qingya House and didn’t approach him!

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was because Ye Xuan had unearthed the Emperor Green that she found the opportunity to extend an invitation to Wei Hongjun.

"Liu Group? Are you Liu Ying?"

Wei Hongjun asked in surprise, having heard of the famous name of Liu Ying, the beautiful CEO of the Liu Group, whose reputation echoed throughout the entire East Sea.

However, he had never had the chance to meet her, which is why he hadn’t recognized her identity when he saw Liu Ying!

"It’s an honor that Mr. Wei recognizes me,"

Liu Ying said modestly with a slight nod of her head.

An honor?

What a joke!

Wei Hongjun inwardly smiled bitterly, not expecting that the charming woman in front of him was actually the CEO of the Liu Group, Liu Ying.

At this moment, he realized that he had been played once again.

Liu Ying wasn’t really planning to buy the Emperor Green; her actual target was him!

She pretended to bid on the Emperor Green, leading him to voluntarily offer a favor, which she would then use to exchange for a partnership with the Liu Group.

This woman had a deep game!

Ye Xuan and Liu Ying, these two were birds of a feather, coming together to scheme against him.

Wei Hongjun felt incredibly frustrated inside. The feeling of being led by the nose was intensely irritating to him.

He wanted to refuse just to spite Liu Ying, to make her shell out an additional five hundred million to buy the Emperor Green.

But what could he do when he loved the Emperor Green so much? Even knowing he was falling into Liu Ying’s trap, he had no choice but to willingly walk into it.

"Alright, Miss Liu, it seems I have no choice but to agree,"

Wei Hongjun sighed, conversing with a sense of resignation.

"Mr. Wei, your choice will be the correct one! I no longer want the Emperor Green; it is now yours,"

Liu Ying spoke with a smile, in a very good mood, knowing she had made the right bet.

Indeed, Wei Hongjun couldn’t bear to part with the Emperor Green; otherwise, she would really have to spend five hundred million to purchase it.

Although Liu Ying quite liked the Emperor Green, it was just a simple fondness, nowhere near the level of obsession that Wei Hongjun had.

This piece of Emperor Green, for Liu Group, could not bring in any revenue. However, wooing Wei Hongjun was an entirely different matter.

With Wei Hongjun’s influence in the jewelry industry, once he lent his support, Liu Group’s jewelry line would absolutely become a national bestseller.

The two reached an agreement, and Wei Hongjun spent three hundred million to joyfully acquire the Emperor Green.

This scene was met with enviable eyes from those around, filled with jealousy towards Ye Xuan!

This kid was just too lucky, selling a piece of Emperor Green and making three hundred million in an instant, soaring to the status of a billionaire.

Yet, Ye Xuan paid no heed to the envious glances, his expression as calm as still water.

It was as if making a clean profit of three hundred million was merely an insignificant number to him; his gaze shifted to another club-shaped raw stone.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s move, the crowd’s gazes involuntarily followed suit.

When they noticed the other club-shaped raw stone on the ground, everyone’s eyelids twitched, their breathing grew heavier.

Could it be...

This was another piece of Emperor Green?
