What’s the most essential thing that’s normally present in a dog-blooded business novel?
Of course, it’s all kinds of luxurious and precious jewelry, masterpieces and all kinds of strange objects that cost hundreds, thousands, millions or even hundreds of millions.
Therefore, when the auctioneer called out a starting price of 10 million, Shen Yu was able to take a sip of champagne calmly with a smile on his face.
‘Don’t be afraid.
Such a small spectacle.
I’m used to this.
As long as I’m not the one paying.
Everything can be easily discussed!’
Feng SiRui soon came back from outside, sat beside Shen Yu and seemed to intentionally or unintentionally say, “Did you see anything you like?”
“Not yet.” Shen Yu put down his champagne glass and glanced at the waiter standing against the wall on the far left from the corner of his eye.
Within around ten minutes, he had looked at him at least 34 times.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
—— ‘This guy is either a fan or he has some kind of conspiracy against me. Otherwise, why are his hands moving back and forth, showing how nervous he is?!’
—— ‘He’ll probably find an opportunity to come over and offer wine soon.’
—— ‘If I dare drink this wine, I’m definitely a stupid c*nt1.’
Feng SiRui frowned, followed Shen Yu’s line of sight and saw an ordinary-looking waiter.
‘Is he being too sensitive?
Then after this, would all trees look like soldiers in disguise?’
He thought about it but didn’t care too much. But after a while, he watched as the waiter really approached their table step by step.
“Sir, do you want some champagne?”
“No, thank you…” Shen Yu took his glass away, “Mr. Feng next to me wants it.”
Feng SiRui, “…”
‘Knowing that there is a problem, yet still pushing it towards me?
Want me to drink that wine?!’
The waiter obviously didn’t expect to be rejected and his face changed slightly, “Sir, let me pour some for you.”
Shen Yu frowned and looked over towards him, “Are you going to buy and sell by force2?”
“Who knows if there’s something in this alcohol. You’re really insisting on me to drink this?!”
His tough attitude caused dissatisfaction among some of the rich people who like to pretend to be gentlemen, “He’s just a waiter, why are you making things difficult for him?”
Shen Yu’s lips curled, “I’ve refused already. Could it be that I’ve even lost all the rights to refuse?”
“You really like being a good person so much. Why don’t you drink that whole bottle of champagne?”
The rich man now fell into trouble. Because of Feng SiRui’s face, it was hard for him to refute. So he could only pass his glass over, “Come, pour a glass for me. I’ll drink.”
The waiter’s face turned strange, “Sir, I’m afraid this won’t work. This alcohol…”
The rich man’s face turned ugly when he heard this, “I was trying to help you just now. Instead of accepting it, you’re actually giving it away? Are you trying to imply something?”
“Be honest. Are you doing this on purpose?!”
The waiter panicked and opened his mouth to explain, “That’s not what I meant…”
The scene wasn’t harmonious anymore. Shen Yu pursed his lips and suppressed a smile. But the man beside him shouted in a low voice, “Enough!”
“This is a charity dinner. Not a place for you to argue…”
He turned to the waiter with a not so good look on his face, “Get out of here. Your services aren’t needed here!”
“Yes, Mr. Feng.” The waiter left dejectedly looking back. He walked away with a nostalgic look pasted on his face, as if he had left something important behind.
Shen Yu had a panoramic view of this performance. He pursed his lips and laughed soundlessly.
—— ‘Such a clumsy method. It’s hard not to be exposed!’
—— ‘It’s probably that Li Fenghua again. She still didn’t forget to help me with something before leaving.’
—— ‘When I have the chance, I’ll definitely clean her up and let both mother and son kneel down in front of me and call me dad… No, wait. The generations are all messed up…’
Feng SiRui rubbed the centre of his brows helplessly and said in a deep voice, “Be serious, later when the auction for the item starts, don’t forget to bid.”
Speaking of this, Shen Yu restrained his expression and moved towards Feng SiRui, “What’s the speculated price of the item?”
“You can’t really just raise the price all over the place and expect me to follow suit, right?”
Feng SiRui casted a sideways glance at Shen Yu, “Grandpa said that the item must be obtained.”
Shen Yu, “I—”
He only had time to say a single word before the auctioneer on the stage started speaking emotionally, “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s final auction item is about to appear…”
“Please allow me to solemnly introduce the item’s origin.”
The hostess displayed a standard smile as she walked up with a tray held within both hands. A ring in the box was taken out.
“An antique ring from the Song Dynasty. It has an emerald green glazed octagonal gemstone that’s inlaid in silver. It has a history of more than 700 years and was the dowry of the prime minister’s wife…”
Shen Yu stared at it, his eyes wide in disbelief.
—— ‘What the hell. This stuff is priceless isn’t it? I can’t afford it even if I sold my villa. The dog man is still asking me to bid for it?!’
—— ‘No. I have to find a chance to run. The dog man is definitely trying to scam me!’
He was about to move, but his arm that was laying on the armrest was locked in place, “Where are you going?”
“Toilet.” Shen Yu smiled wryly, “I’ll go and immediately come back.”
“Hold it in!” Feng SiRui’s voice was cold and didn’t sound kind at all.
Shen Yu froze.
—— ‘Does the dog man have any humanitarian spirit?!’
“The bidding starts now. The starting price is 50 million.”
Shen Yu really wanted to take a sip of champagne to calm down, but he ended up choking as he poured it down his throat, “Hck—”
—— ‘No way, no way. This thing can kill someone. I have to run away!’
—— ‘Why is the dog man so cruel? Why is he dragging me and not letting me go?!’
Feng SiRui finally couldn’t bear it anymore, “Just bid, I’ll pay for it.”
Shen Yu leaned back on his chair in an instant, resuming the posture of a rich madam3 . He opened his mouth and stretched out his hand while saying, “Rui-ge, what money isn’t money. Let’s not do this. We’re all family anyways.”
—— ‘Why didn’t you say it earlier?! Scared the sh*t out of me!’
He groaned in his heart and calmly raised his hand, “I’ll offer 100 million.”
—— ‘The dog man’s money can be squandered casually. Anyways, it’s not mine.’
“Mr. Shen is offering 100 million…” The auctioneer excitedly said, “Is there anyone offering a higher bid?”
The higher the bid, the more commision he gets. So of course he had to work harder.
Everyone present seemed to know that it was something passed down in the Feng Family, so no one else bid for it for the sake of Elder Feng’s face.
Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, he suddenly heard a clear voice.
“I’ll offer 200 million.”
Shen Yu and Feng SiRui both turned their heads together. It was the chairman of the mainland’s Senhua who was sitting not far away with a provocative smile.
—— ‘Father investor?’
—— ‘Why is he here? Could it be because of love and hate? Is he here to make trouble?!’
Shen Yu thought so, turned to look at Feng SiRui and narrowed his eyes as if he was looking at a cheating scumbag.
“Can’t you have some serious thoughts in your mind?!” Feng SiRui gritted his teeth.
“Rui-ge, don’t say that…” Shen Yu pursed his lips and smiled, “You’re all that’s on my mind.”
Feng SiRui desperately suppressed his breath and raised Shen Yu’s arm with a dark face, “One billion!”
The ‘tool man4’ turned pale when he heard this number, “Rui-ge, let’s not fight like this, alright?!”
