Chapter 173: Chapter 171 Unexpected

Chairman Wu’s eyes also revealed excitement, "Miss Lin Shiyu, could you please come up here?"

Lin Shiyu stood up, smiled faintly, nodded, and walked towards Chairman Wu, while Ye Feng continued to eat his food, with Chairman Wu not noticing Ye Feng’s presence.

For Ye Feng, securing the final spot was inevitable; there was nothing surprising about it.

Wan Tianhua furrowed his brow, "Wan Yucheng, what’s the matter with you? Weren’t you not going to let the Lin Family get it?"

Wan Yucheng smiled slightly, confidence shining in his eyes, "Dad, don’t worry. She hasn’t gotten the final spot yet, right? Besides, the Luminous Pearl isn’t hers yet, no need to hurry."

"Fine, I’ll see what you’ve done. I hope you won’t disappoint me!" Wan Tianhua said indifferently.

"Don’t worry, when have I ever disappointed you?" Wan Yucheng was brimming with confidence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have seen, the highest bidder is Miss Lin Shiyu’s Lin Group!" Chairman Wu said with a smile, then looked at Lin Shiyu, "Miss Lin Shiyu, could you confirm that you will bid 10 billion to purchase this moment’s Luminous Pearl? I want to confirm with you once more."

Lin Shiyu nodded, "Correct, for this Luminous Pearl, I will bid 10 billion."

"Great! Miss Lin is indeed straightforward. Do you prefer to pay by card or by check?" Wan Tianhua asked.

"Either is fine, whatever method is convenient for Mr. Wan to receive the payment is okay!" Lin Shiyu said with a refreshing straightforwardness.

"Alright then, let’s go with card payment!" Following that, Chairman Wu fetched the card machine.

"Miss Lin, once you’ve signed the contract and swiped the card, the Luminous Pearl will be yours, and the conference spot next month will belong to you as well!" Chairman Wu said, looking at Lin Shiyu.

The transaction was about to succeed, but Wan Yucheng wasn’t worried at all and simply narrowed his eyes, watching Lin Shiyu.

"Sure, please wait a moment," Lin Shiyu nodded and then took out her bag, getting ready to swipe her card.

But at that moment, Lin Shiyu searched high and low and could not find her bank card.

"How strange..." Lin Shiyu furrowed her brows, her face taking on an uneasy expression. Seeing Lin Shiyu in this state, an intrigued Chairman Wu asked, "Miss Lin, is there a problem?"

Lin Shiyu looked embarrassed, "I can’t find my bank card, but I specifically brought it with me when I came out today. Now it’s gone."

Chairman Wu smiled lightly, "No problem, Miss Lin. If you can’t find your bank card, you can take your time looking for it, report it missing, or get a replacement. I can accept a check as well; it’s all the same to me."

Lin Shiyu said with a frown, "My check is missing too..."

...

The entire crowd watched Lin Shiyu with cold eyes, their gazes filled with contempt.

"Is it possible she doesn’t have the money?" The crowd looked at Lin Shiyu, doubting whether she could produce the funds.

"Chairman Wu, my apologies. Please wait for me a moment. I will have someone send it over. Rest assured, you won’t be missing one cent of the 10 billion today!" Lin Shiyu assured.

"Lin Shiyu, don’t forget the rules. What does it mean that ’you won’t be missing anything today’? Chairman Wu has already said payment must be made within ten minutes. Two minutes have already passed; you have eight minutes left. If you can’t make the payment, according to the rules, the Luminous Pearl should go to our Wanshi Group."

After finishing, Wan Yucheng looked at Chairman Wu, "Chairman Wu, I’m right, aren’t I?"

Chairman Wu’s face turned slightly displeased and nodded, "Correct, rules are rules. As I said before, payment must be made within ten minutes. If Miss Lin you can’t pay within the set time, then I have no choice. The Luminous Pearl will have to go to Mr. Wan Tianhua’s group, and so will the spot."

"Chairman Wu, I hope you can wait for me for another ten minutes. It takes at least twenty minutes for my person to bring the card, it’s simply impossible to get here in ten minutes!" Lin Shiyu said anxiously to Chairman Wu.

Chairman Wu shook his head with no sign of emotion, "Miss Lin, I’m sorry then, but the rule is the rule. Once the ten minutes are up, we will make the transaction with the Wan Family."

"Lin Shiyu, I don’t mean to criticize you, but if you don’t carry your card, why bid such a high price? You must live within your means. Being overly arrogant will only leave you embarrassed in the end!" Wan Tianhua said to Lin Shiyu, his voice dripping with sarcastic glee and unmistakable pride.

"Exactly, I thought Lin Shiyu could really come up with 10 billion. Now it seems she was just making random bids!"

The people around started to discuss amongst themselves, their eyes showing contempt for Lin Shiyu.

Suddenly, Lin Shiyu felt extremely embarrassed. She distinctly remembered that her card was in her bag—she always carried it with her, yet now she couldn’t find it.

Not just that, even Lin Shiyu’s check was missing, which was difficult for Lin Shiyu to accept.

Just when everyone was mocking Lin Shiyu, Ye Feng stood up.

"I’ll pay the money then..." Ye Feng stood and said calmly.

Ye Feng’s voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

"Ye Feng!" The crowd was stunned, looking at Ye Feng in surprise, followed by a hint of disdain.

"This is..." Seeing Ye Feng, Chairman Wu was taken aback, feeling an intense familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before but couldn’t remember where in the moment.

"Sir, you say you will pay the money?" Chairman Wu asked Ye Feng.

"Correct," Ye Feng nodded.

Chairman Wu inquired, "May I ask your relationship with Miss Lin?"

Ye Feng said coolly, "I am her husband. I’ll pay on her behalf. Is that a problem?"

Chairman Wu smiled lightly, "Since you are Miss Lin’s husband, then of course there is no problem."

"Ha ha ha..." at that moment, Wan Yucheng burst into laughter, "Chairman Wu, you must not believe him. How could he possibly come up with 10 billion? Do you know who he is? He is the Lin Family’s live-in son-in-law, a freeloader. All the money is controlled by Lin Shiyu. If Lin Shiyu can’t produce the money, do you think he can?"
