Han Si Hai was montarily speechless, his facial muscles twitching as he looked at Lin Mu, "Alright, I’ll bid four hundred and fifty million!"
"Five hundred million!" Lin Mu effortlessly raised another hundred million, "To be precise, it’s five hundred million, five hundred twenty million."
As soon as Lin Mu said this, there was an uproar in the audience. This era in Wancheng really had foolish people with too much money! An ordinary flower-and-bird painting fetched a sky-high price of five hundred twenty million, and those on stage secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They had wanted to speak out against Han Si Hai but did not dare to; fortunately, Lin Mu had given him a harsh lesson, making everyone feel quite pleased!
"You..."
Han Si Hai looked at Lin Mu, his facial muscles involuntarily twitching again!
"Don’t be so nervous, Boss Han!" Lin Mu said calmly with a cheerful smile, "I recently made a small fortune, and it’s all registered at the notary office. Ah, Eldest Young Master Han, what’s the matter? Don’t be in a hurry, wipe off the sweat, take it slow!"
The Han Family, being the foremost of the four great families of the Three Zhushan Families, had always been a dominating presence! The Eldest Young Master Han had the ans to co up with over five hundred million RMB, but this was no small amount. For such a random scribbling of a "painting," was it worth spending so much? Moreover, if the elders in the family found out, they might take action against him for poor managent, costing him the position of Patriarch of the Han Family!
"Oh, Brother Lin is quite generous! You must really like this ancient painting, while I, being a re illiterate, can’t tell the authenticity. So, it wouldn’t be right for to compete with you, would it? After all, a gentleman should help others achieve their aims!"
Everyone could hear the underlying bitterness in his laughter! Han Si Hai smiled at Lin Mu, then handed the auctioneer’s little wooden hamr to Lin Mu.
Han Si Hai walked over from the other side, nearly bumping into Lin Mu head-on. "Rember, next ti you send people to assassinate , hire so real experts, hire so high-quality people, stop sending useless ones. If you’re short of money, I can lend you so! As for acting, you’re lacking finesse. It’s better to keep a low profile in such settings to avoid being struck down by hubris!"
"Very well, Lin Mu, let’s wait and see. There’s a long ti ahead!" Han Si Hai sneered coldly.
"Always ready!" Lin Mu’s expression was calm as he gestured lightly.
"Hmph!" Han Si Hai swung his arm, called out to Han Gan, and then walked out of the exhibition hall door!
Lin Mu looked at the auctioneer, still in a daze, and handed him the little wooden hamr in his hand, "What are you standing there for? I bid one and a half billion!"
"Ah, okay." The auctioneer snapped out of it, then announced to the crowd below, "Five hundred million, Young Master Li bids five hundred million, anyone want to raise the bid?"
The auctioneer watched the people below!
"Alright, five hundred million once!"
"Five hundred million twice!"
"Five hundred million three tis!"
With a "pa" sound, the small wooden hamr in the auctioneer’s hand decisively fell!
"The final showcase item of this auction and Miss Su’s personally inscribed piece has been won by Young Master Lin for the astronomical price of five hundred million; congratulations to the Big Tycoon Lin!"
The entire venue erupted, accompanied by the sound of soothing music, as many envious of the tycoon applauded to congratulate Lin Mu. In an instant, Lin Mu beca the focal point, a focal figure. A Black Chicken Painting, starting from ten million, was auctioned up to five hundred million, truly astonishing. Wancheng is indeed a place with people foolish and wealthy enough!
However, for Lin Mu, it was all worth it. Of course, Lin Mu had his own reasons; he couldn’t always rely on Sophie’s fa to get noticed, and he had to show so of his own charm!
Through this event, the various business leaders navigating through both black and white circles of Wancheng had taken note of Lin Mu. Even daring to sha Han Si Hai publicly, Lin Mu might be the first, further solidifying his future status and identity!
"You really are bold, spending five hundred million just to win an ancient painting!"
Sophie, standing beside Lin Mu, comnted, "It’s just, how will you pay it back?"
How to pay it back? Lin Mu chuckled inwardly, could Brother say that it only takes a hundred more missions to earn that money back?
"No need to worry about !"
Lin Mu smiled confidently, glancing at Sophie,
"Now, let’s get back to the question you asked this morning!"
"Uh, what are you talking about?" Sophie asked,
"Did you forget, you asked , what day is today? Well, now let tell you loudly, Feifei, happy birthday, marry !"
Lin Mu held the ancient painting and knelt on one knee beneath the beauty president’s long gown, causing many envious n to glare with jealousy.
"So, you spent over five hundred million to prepare a birthday gift for , is that right?" Sophie was slightly moved,
"Yes, to be exact, five hundred twenty million, plus one thousand three hundred and fourteen, do you know what that ans?"
"Why five hundred twenty million and one thousand three hundred and fourteen?" Sophie was puzzled,
"Because that represents: ’I love you for a lifeti,’ you silly girl..."
A warm feeling of happiness instantly flowed into Sophie’s little heart.
However, the composed Sophie didn’t imdiately accept Lin Mu’s gesture but smiled and said,
"Don’t forget we still have a one-month trial period, so I can only say, so far, your performance has exceeded my expectations, but whether you can persist until the final victory is up to you..."
At this mont, Earth Wolf walked up with Qi Manlin.
"Boss, you’re amazing, spending a huge five hundred million on a Black Chicken Painting!"
"Shall I tell you this Black Chicken Painting will be my love token with President Feifei!"
"But, giving such an expensive gift, I’m afraid I can’t accept it?" The beautiful president was quite moved.
"Just five hundred million and it’s considered expensive? Our Huaxia CEO takes his wife to Europe and Arica, buying her planes and missiles worth millions at once! And this five hundred million just flows straight from to you, it doesn’t go into anyone else’s pocket. Just take it as my love token for you!"
"Alright, five hundred million, uh, as long as you’re sure you can repay the debt!" Sophie asked unnaturally,
"That’s a secret!" Lin Mu laughed, "Anyway, the old man said he’s been saving all the money I earned in the past seven years to get a playful wife, so spending five hundred million at once, I think that stingy old man will be heartbroken for half a month!"
"Wow, Boss, truth be told, spending five hundred million on a flower-and-bird painting that’s not worth anything! That’s not like your usual frugality!"
"Cut it out!" Lin Mu was infuriated by Earth Wolf’s public teasing, "Every ti I take you out for food, I’m the one footing the bill,"
"Hmph, keep pretending!" Qi Manlin coldly snorted from the side, softly muttering to herself, "Acting like nothing matters, but who knows how you really feel inside."
