160: Chapter 160: Stone Bracelet 160: Chapter 160: Stone Bracelet What!
This bracelet is worth 20 million?
After Tang Fengming’s words fell, the whole venue erupted in uproar, and the crowd started whispering to each other:
“I didn’t hear wrong, right?
What’s so special about this Ice Flower Rose Jade that it’s worth 20 million, and that’s just the conservative price?”
“I read in the Treasure Record that the Ice Flower Rose Jade is a type of Lantian jade, originating from hot spring outlets and reputed to have unique health-preserving properties.
It definitely ranks in the top ten in the Treasure Record.”
“The snuff bottle that was just auctioned off reached the highest bid of 10 million in the whole venue, and that was already far above its market value.
The starting bid for this Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet is already twice that of the snuff bottle—this is definitely going to be the highest bid of the evening!”
“As expected of a mber of the Song Family, one of the four great families of East Sea, Song Shaopeng makes such a grand gesture as soon as he makes a move.
Using an item worth 20 million for charity is truly extraordinary!”
All eyes from the guests were fixed on the stage, completely sensationalized by the event.
Especially those rich young ladies and noblewon, each of them staring at the Jade Bracelet with shining eyes.
This Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet was many tis more precious than the diamond brooch earlier!
Who wouldn’t want to own such a treasure?
And many of the big shots present were not concerned about the price of the bracelet itself.
They cared more about who would be able to win the bid for this bracelet.
Because, in this banquet of wealth and status, the person who could defeat all competitors and secure the Ice Flower Rose Jade would truly be the highlight of the evening.
At the sa ti, Lin Tong, sitting in the front row, slightly furrowed her brows upon seeing this scene.
Song Shaopeng suddenly pulling such a stunt, she didn’t know what he was playing at, but she could tell it definitely wasn’t anything good.
“Be careful later on, I always feel that Song Shaopeng is targeting us.”
Turning her head to look at Ye Xuan, Lin Tong whispered a warning.
“Dear, let’s just enjoy the show first.
I was just worried that tonight’s banquet was too bland.
Since soone is offering us a performance, we should definitely support them.”
Ye Xuan, looking straight at the stage, shrugged nonchalantly.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Lin Tong was sowhat speechless.
However, upon further thought, she realized that in such a public setting, Song Shaopeng wouldn’t dare to make any improper moves.
At that mont, Tang Fengming had already handed the Jade Bracelet back, glancing at it reluctantly one last ti, he declared loudly, “Song Shaopeng, I offer 25 million for this Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet, how about letting have it?”
Wow.
As soon as this was said, the whole venue stirred!
Being the covert owner of Treasure Pavilion, no one doubted Tang Fengming’s taste.
Now, even he was coveting the Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet and personally bid on it, proving beyond doubt the imnse value of the item.
At this mont, many of the major bosses sitting below had already made up their minds to win this Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet at all costs.
Firstly, the Song Family could carelessly offer an item worth 20 million, showing a truly impressive style, and they didn’t mind befriending soone from the Song Family; secondly, since Song Shaopeng pulled out this Jade Bracelet to show off at the last minute, he wants to make an impression!
If they could win this Jade Bracelet, not only would it show commitnt to the Song Family, but they’d also possess a treasure, making everything absolutely perfect.
“Mr.
Tang, that’s not very generous of you.
Since this is a charity auction, everyone should have a chance to bid,” a major boss unhappily spoke up.
“Exactly!
Mr.
Tang, this is ant to be fair competition.
Why should you be the only one to bid?
You can’t monopolize this!”
Seeing this scene, Song Qingfei lightly smiled and seized the mont to officially announce the start of the auction.
“I must have this Ice Flower Rose Jade, 30 million!” the major boss called out.
“I bid 35 million!”
“Forty million!”
“…”
The bidding soared!
Tang Fengming frowned.
Although the Ice Flower Rose Jade was invaluable, it was rely an ornant after all.
The bid of twenty-five million just now had been his limit!
Now that the price had exceeded this, he stopped bidding, shook his head, and sat back down.
In the end, the Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet was sold for a high price of fifty million and was once again acquired by the wealthiest man in East Sea City.
Song Shaopeng, with the Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet, won the top spot, receiving cheers and praise from everyone, and completely stealing the show.
Just when everyone thought the auction was about to end, Song Shaopeng stood up and said, “I heard that tonight, the Liu Group has two special invited guests.
Since I contributed an item, as the saying goes, ‘Good things co in pairs!’ Why not invite them to bring out an item as well, to broaden everyone’s horizons?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shaopeng’s gaze directly targeted Ye Xuan and Lin Tong in the front row, without any attempt to hide it.
In his view, even if Ye Xuan was highly capable, he utterly lacked any status and certainly couldn’t produce a decent auction item.
Thus, he devised this sche, with a simple goal – to make Ye Xuan lose face in front of a large audience.
By flaunting his wealth in this manner, he intended to thoroughly humiliate Ye Xuan!
Moreover, even if the other party could produce sothing, it would undoubtedly be of poor quality, like sothing from a street stall.
The value would be far less than that of his own Ice Flower Rose Jade Bracelet, giving him even more reason to put down the latter.
Upon hearing Song Shaopeng’s words, everyone shifted their attention to Ye Xuan in the front row.
Previously, they were curious about how Ye Xuan managed to sit next to Liu Ying; it turned out he was a special guest at the charity dinner!
At this mont, Lin Tong also finally realized Song Shaopeng’s intentions, and her pretty face imdiately turned sour.
However, Ye Xuan appeared indifferent, his lips even curling into a faint smile.
This Song Shaopeng couldn’t best him, and now he was attempting to press him down with wealth, using such despicable ans.
The fa of being one of the ‘Four Young Masters of East Sea’ was just that!
Sitting beside him, Liu Ying was sowhat curious.
When had this guy co into conflict with Song Shaopeng?
It was clear that he was being targeted to be made a fool of.
“Giggling, little brother, it seems you’re not welco everywhere.
Do you want sister to help you?”
Liu YInng winked, her eyes fluttering like a pair of small fans as she covered her mouth and laughed.
Ye Xuan touched his nose, thinking to himself that his wife was right there, yet this woman dared to flirt with him.
Fortunately, at that mont, Lin Tong wasn’t paying attention, or else she would have surely gotten jealous!
“Ye Xuan, everyone is so enthusiastic and tonight is a charity auction.
Eastern Group wouldn’t mind offering an item for bidding, right?”
Seeing Ye Xuan not responding, Song Shaopeng imdiately urged him on with a sneer.
Since you’re seeking a slap in the face, I’ll grant it to you!
Ye Xuan coolly responded, “I ca out in a hurry today and didn’t bring much with .
I don’t have anything valuable to offer right now.”
“Are you in a hurry or can you simply not produce anything?” Song Shaopeng sneered.
“I can’t produce anything, but our CEO has a stone bracelet that’s priceless, much more valuable than your cheap jade bracelet.
It’s perfect to bring out for you to broaden your horizons!”
Ye Xuan stood up and said loudly.
What!
A stone bracelet?
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the entire audience was stunned.
