Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Apologizing to You in Person_1

"Miss Xu, if I really didn’t have money, I would not refuse your help, but I truly have money now, so let this time be on me."

Ning Fan shook his head at Xu Yourong.

"Okay, if the money you have isn’t enough, just let me know." Xu Yourong nodded, not insisting further.

"Hmph, pretending. I want to see how long you can keep up this act!" Su Qingcheng snorted coldly, waiting to see Ning Fan’s embarrassment.

"One million one hundred thousand!"

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million five hundred thousand!"

In the auction hall, the bidding continued incessantly, and the price of the century wild ginseng soared.

"Two million!"

At this moment, a sultry-looking woman suddenly shouted from the back row.

Two million was nearly the market price for the century wild ginseng. To go any higher would start to seem unreasonable.

For a moment, the voices of the bidders in the venue reduced significantly.

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

But an elderly man with white hair didn’t give up and bid again.

"Three million!"

The sultry woman directly raised the bid by a million.

"Three million one hundred thousand!"

The white-haired elder bid again.

"Four million!"

The sultry woman clearly was determined to obtain the wild ginseng.

The white-haired elder, frustrated, looked at the sultry woman and ultimately, reluctantly gave up.

The price of four million for a century ginseng was excessively high, too expensive.

"Is there another bid?"

"Four million once!"

"Four million twice!"

"Four million..."

The auctioneer on the stage loudly announced, ready to bring down the hammer.

The sultry woman also couldn’t wait to stand up.

’Ning Fan, do you need me to intervene?’ Xu Yourong again turned her head to look at Ning Fan, not speaking, just silently asking with her eyes.

"Heh, didn’t you say you would handle it yourself? So go ahead and bid." Su Qingcheng laughed mockingly.

"Five million!"

At that moment, Ning Fan, who had been silently observing, picked up the bidding sign in front of him, raised it, and loudly declared.

"Five million?"

In the auction hall, all eyes turned towards him.

"Six million!"

The sultry woman from the back row clenched her teeth and bid without hesitation.

"Seven million!"

Ning Fan also bid without any hesitation.

Their manner of raising bids surprised many people.

The current price had already far exceeded the value of a century ginseng, yet both parties were still raising the bid by millions, seemingly treating money as if it were nothing.

"Eight million!"

No sooner had Ning Fan placed his bid, the sultry woman shouted again.

Meanwhile, she looked at Ning Fan with pleading eyes from a distance.

"Ten million!"

Ning Fan, as if he hadn’t seen the sultry woman’s plea, declared loudly.

After the bid of ten million was called out, the sultry woman finally lowered her head in resignation, clearly not having enough to match ten million.

The surrounding crowd looked at Ning Fan in amazement, wondering who this young man who had paid nearly five times the price for a wild ginseng could be.

"Ten million! Sold!"

On the stage, the auctioneer excitedly finalized the sale with a bang of his hammer.

By selling the wild ginseng for ten million, his commission had increased several-fold!

"Ning Fan..."

Xu Yourong suddenly called Ning Fan’s name softly, then discreetly reached out to pull his hand.

In the palm of her hand, she secretly held a bank card, intending to stealthily pass it to Ning Fan.

"Yourong, what are you doing? Surely you aren’t secretly giving Ning Fan money, are you? He has already said he will do it himself; you should not force him."

Su Qingcheng, with sharp eyes, saw this and deliberately reached out to catch Xu Yourong’s hand, intending to snatch back the bank card in Xu Yourong’s palm.

Unexpectedly, just as she reached out, Ning Fan pushed Xu Yourong’s hand back.

As a result, rather unluckily, Su Qingcheng ended up tightly grabbing Ning Fan’s hand!

Clang!

Su Qingcheng’s extended hand withdrew as if bitten by a snake, pulling back instantly.

"Miss Xu, thank you for your kind intentions. I truly have the money, so let me take care of this."

Ning Fan said to Xu Yourong, then stood up and went to the auction house’s backstage to make the payment and collect his purchase.

"Qing Cheng, how was it? The touch was not bad, right?"

Xu Yourong put away her bank card and teased deliberately.

"I don’t understand what you are saying..."

Su Qingcheng, expressionless, changed the subject, "Yourong, let’s leave. Otherwise, if Ning Fan doesn’t have the money to pay later and gets thrown out by the auction house staff, we can’t afford to lose face over this."

"I think... If Ning Fan says he has the money, then he should actually have the ten million."

Xu Yourong hesitated, then shook her head.

"Hmph, if he really has ten million, I will apologize to him personally!" Su Qingcheng scoffed.

No sooner had her words fallen, Ning Fan returned with a wooden box in hand.

Inside the wooden box was the very century wild ginseng they had just auctioned off!

"You, you, you couldn’t possibly have failed to pay and made yourself a fake ginseng, right?" Su Qingcheng’s eye twitched as she spoke.

Before Ning Fan could answer, the auctioneer from the stage quickly approached, handing him a receipt and a card with great respect: "Mr. Ning, here is your ten million payment receipt and our auction house’s VIP card. Please keep it well, from now on you are a VIP member of our auction house."

"Hmm."

Ning Fan took the receipt and VIP card and put them away casually, then turned to Su Qingcheng, "Miss Su, what did you just say?"

"I..." Su Qingcheng was speechless.

"She just said that she would personally apologize to you." Xu Yourong said with a grin.
