The invisible battle ended with the organizer going up on stage and saying his speech .
“Don't you feel that he had bad intentions?” Ming Shu asked Qin Che .
Shen Yuanzhao must have had other intentions when he said those words .
“You snatched his chance of working with Joseph . He now thinks that you are a spy sent by me . Do you think he'll have any good intentions?” Qin Che mocked as he looked forward .
“How do you think he will take his revenge on us?” Both of them had provoked the male protagonist and were now on the same side .
Qin Che thought for a while . “He can't touch the Ruan family . They are not within his control and the Ruan family is not so easy to deal with . There is a higher possibility that he would hire people to kill us or create an accident . ”
Ming Shu: “…” He's the male protagonist . He won't do such things .
“Do you always do that kind of thing?” He said it so naturally . Must have done it a lot of times .
“Do I need to hire people to do that?” Qin Che replied .
The random person behind them: “…” Hey, I heard everything .
Who do you want to kill!
“Hard to say . ” Ming Shu smiled mysteriously . “Are you really not planning to explain the accident at that time to me?”
Qin Che's body went stiff .
Ming Shu closed in on him and grinned with confidence . “You didn't lose your memory . ”
Qin Che reached out and grabbed Ming Shu's waist tightly to prevent her from moving . He ridiculed her in a low voice, “Should I be killed then, my dear sister?”
“That's not necessary . I don't really care if you have amnesia or not . ” I just care about my Hatred Points .
You just have to hate me .
Qin Che looked down at her . She was very close to him . Her hands were crossed in front of her and her posture was relaxed . She didn't guard against him .
The area where his hand was at started to feel hot .
He let go of Ming Shu . “Let's talk when we get home . ”
Ming Shu took a bag of sweets out of his bag and popped two into her mouth .
Qin Che: “…” When did she put that in?
This foodie…
Qin Che was lost in thought . He could still feel her body temperature against his hand .
Stange .
Her love for food gave him a familiar feeling .
“35000 . ”
The 35000 woke Qin Che up and he instinctively looked up at the stage . There was a painting and the description said that it was done by a famous artist .
He then followed the gaze of the auctioneer and realized it was beside him .
“What are you buying this for?”Qin Che titled his head and was speechless . She didn't look like someone who would appreciate these things .
“To spend your money . ” Spend all your money away .
What was the link between spending his money and buying this…
Qin Che had a sudden realization . She was raising his number plate… Qin Che's lips started twitching . What the hell! He started his ranting .
Excellent!
Do you know how hard I work to earn this money? How dare you spend it just like that?
I am so angry I could die .
“36000”
Nan Youyou raised her number plate and said her price . She looked past Shen Yuanzhao and stared at Ming Shu, provoking her .
Ming Shu chewed her sweets and continued raising her number plate .
“37000 . ”
“38000 . ”
“39000 . ”
“40000…”
Nan Youyou seemed to be targeting Ming Shu and raised her number plate whenever Ming Shu did . Ming Shu wanted to spend all of Qin Che's money and was happy to have Nan Youyou help her .
In the end, the painting that was originally worth RMB30000 was sold at RMB50000 .
After that, whenever Nan Youyou raised her number plate, the final bid would always exceed the original price of the item by a lot .
Nan Youyou was exasperated . However, she didn't have as much money as Ming Shu and couldn't afford to be as willful as her .
Ming Shu noticed Nan Youyou's anger and started spending even more money .
Qin Che held his forehead . He didn't want to look at Ming Shu .
If she continued to spend like this, the Qin family would go bankrupt soon .
“Okay, the last item up for auction is old Mister Zhang's private collection, the blue-and-white dragon porcelain dish . Starting bid is RMB1,000,000 . ”
The crowd remained silent for a while .
Whether or not the blue-and-white dragon porcelain dish was worth the price, no one really cared . Old Mister Zhang's name was enough to wake everyone up and even those who just came here to watch a show started to be active .
“1 . 2 million . ” Very soon, someone called out a price and raised the started bid by 20,000 .
“1 . 3 million . ”
“1 . 5 million . ”
More and more voices rang in the room and the price exceeded 2 million in just two minutes . However, the price didn't stop and continued to rise .
Ming Shu knew that these people were not bidding for the item . They were doing this for the owner of the item .
Who is this old Mister Zhang?
“He is a formidable figure in the business world . He has his hands in both the political and mafia world . Everyone has to give him some face . ” Qin Che guessed what Ming Shu was thinking and explained to her softly .
Ming Shu stared at the item on stage and started thinking .
When the price exceeded three million, the number of people who continued bidding grew fewer .
“3 . 2 million . ”
After this price was called, the place got quiet . The auctioneer started counting .
“3 . 2 million calling once . ”
“3 . 2 million calling twice . ”
“3 . 2 million…”
“3 . 25 million . ” The auctioneer immediately changed his sentence . “This lady placed a bid of 3 . 25 million . Is there any higher bidder?”
Nan Youyou bid . Ming Shu had to join in to spend more money .
Ming Shu gently said, “3 . 5 million . ”
Nan Youyou gritted her teeth . “3 . 55 million . ”
“3 . 2 million . ”
“3 . 6 million . ”
The bid continued to increase to 3 . 85 million .
Nan Youyou hesitated . Shen Yuanzhao suddenly raised his number plate . “Four million . ”
Ming Shu looked at Shen Yuanzhao . Shen Yuanzhao was looking this way, too . He seemed to want to play with her .
The lighting in the auction room was dark and Ming Shu's face was a bit blurred . However, Shen Yuanzhao still caught the smile in her eyes .
It was so bright that he couldn't move his eyes away .
Yet, it was eerie, too .
“Five million!”
Qin Che: “…”
Kill him now .
Let me die .
Shen Yuanzhao frowned . “Boss Qin, are you going to let her fool around like this?”
Qin Che's heart had burst a few times, but he gnashed his teeth and said dotingly, “As long as she likes it . ”
Nan Youyou pulled at Shen Yuanzhao and seemed a bit agitated . “Boss Shen…”
Shen Yuanzhao patted Nan Youyou's hand and made a “please” gesture toward Qin Che . He didn't want to continue this fight .
“Five million, closed . Congratulations to this mister . ” The auctioneer called out three times and after no one added any bids, he sealed the deal .
The auctioneer was grinning widely . This year's charity auction's total sum collected was much higher than last year's . This meant that their salary would increase, too .
Qin Che couldn't smile at all . He just wanted to find somewhere to strangle his dear sister .
The people onstage got down and the lights came on . The host swayed his way up to the stage . “This year's auction will be a bit different . The person who donates the most amount of money will be the ambassador for our auction next year . ”
The host paused for a while and a spotlight shone on Qin Che . The host announced with high spirits, “Congratulations, Mister Qin, for being next year's charity ambassador . ”
The crowd immediately started talking .
The charity ambassador was not just any position .
ZF would prioritize the company of the charity ambassador whenever there were suitable projects available .
Ming Shu finally understood why Nan Youyou was agitated . In the second half of the year, there was a big project which all the big companies fought over . This included Shen Yuanzhao's company .
If he got the position of the charity ambassador this time, the deal would more or less be sealed . The project would be his .
If she had helped Shen Yuanzhao get this offer, Shen Yuanzhao would definitely be grateful to her .
Even if Shen Yuanzhao didn't want it, the Nan family could rise in status, too .
Sigh, this was an excellent round of gaining Hatred Points .
