Chapter 432: Chapter 432
"Damn! These bumpkins dare to bully you and even tricked your uncle out of one hundred million dowry? Don’t worry! After the auction is over, I will definitely get justice for you." Brother Tian said.
During the conversation, his right hand subtly embraced Chen Baifeng.
"Hmph! Shameless!" Cheng Tianxue scoffed upon seeing this scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the charity auction held by the Murong Family tonight! All proceeds from tonight’s auction will be d to Hope Primary School!"
Just then, a young woman in a fiery red evening gown walked up to the stage and spoke into the microphone.
As her voice trailed off, enthusiastic applause erupted from below.
"Damn! This woman is so beautiful!" Zhang Xiaohao thought heatedly to himself.
A height of 175 centimeters, not counting the high heels.
She possessed a curvaceous figure with skin as clear and sparkling as snow, shining with a bright luster.
Her features were delicate, with an oval face, slightly prominent nose, and lashes subtly fanned out.
Her eyes were as pure and serene as a landscape painting.
Especially those fiery, seductive red lips which, even when closed, radiated immense allure.
she carried a fiery and unrestrained aura, like a wild horse in its untamed glory.
In her freedom, there was also a touch of nobility.
"Such a beautiful creature! Just by her perfect figure alone, she’d be worth enjoying for three years or even longer!" Zhang Xiaohao inwardly exclaimed.
"Yeah, gorgeous!" Hearing someone ask him, Zhang Xiaohao responded instinctively.
No sooner had he spoken than he snapped back to reality.
Before he could explain, a sharp pain shot through his thigh.
Cheng Tianxue had already employed her signature skill, fiercely pinching Zhang Xiaohao’s thigh.
"Xue’er I was wrong, she’s an ugly monster! Not good-looking at all." Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmph!" Cheng Tianxue scoffed, withdrawing her gaze.
The enchanting woman on the stage continued.
"Before we start the auction, let me introduce myself! My name is Murong Yu Yan, and I will be hosting tonight’s auction!" Murong Yu Yan said with a sweet smile.
"Next, I will introduce the rules of the auction. Tonight, the person who spends the most will be the champion of this charity auction and can make a reasonable request to the Murong Family," Murong Yu Yan explained.
"Alright, I believe everyone is eager to begin, so I now declare the auction officially open," Murong Yu Yan said.
As her voice fell, a waiter came up carrying a red tray covered with a red cloth.
Murong Yu Yan smiled and lifted the red cloth, introducing the item.
"Presented before you is a blood diamond, a category of gemstones, about the size of a baby’s fist! Carved by a top sculptor from country Y, it is believed to have nurturing effects. The starting bid is ten million, and each bid must increase by at least one million! Let the bidding begin," Murong Yu Yan said.
"Eleven million!" As her voice fell, a young man next to Chen Baifeng raised his bidding sign.
"Twenty million!" Zhou Pengfei raised his sign.
He added a whopping seven million in one go, instantly deterring many others who were tempted to move.
"Young Master Zhou from Lanling Venture Capital Company bids twenty million, any higher offers?" Murong Yu Yan asked with a sweet smile.
"Hmph! Twenty million and thinking of securing the top-grade blood diamond? Ridiculous," Brother Tian scoffed.
"Twenty-one million!"
"30 million!" Young Master Zhou coldly glanced before lifting his sign again.
"..." Brother Tian instantly deflated.
"The young master of Lanling Venture Capital bids 30 million again. Successful people present, any more bids?" Murong Yu Yan smiled.
"Husband, let’s get the champion of this auction," Cheng Tianxue said.
"That’s not worth so much money! At most, it’s worth twenty million!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmph! What do you know? The Murong Family is the real big family in Southern Province, they have many industries under their control. If we win the auction, by the time the new cosmetics are launched, we can leverage their sales channels to instantly make our product a hit," Cheng Tianxue explained.
"Oh." Zhang Xiaohao responded noncommittally.
Cheng Tianxue quickly kissed Zhang Xiaohao on the face.
"Husband, please help me!" Cheng Tianxue cooed.
"Mhm!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
This was Xue’er’s first time acting coquettish. Wasn’t it just some money? He decided he’d secure the championship.
"30 million for the third time! Sold..."
"50 million!" Zhang Xiaohao assertively lifted his sign.
"Huh!" Murong Yu Yan was briefly stunned. Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
She looked at Zhang Xiaohao suspiciously.
Her eyes, like landscapes in a painting, deliberately lingered on Zhang Xiaohao twice.
"Bai Xue Cosmetics Company bids 50 million, anyone else with a higher bid?" Murong Yu Yan smiled.
Young Master Zhou coldly glanced at Zhang Xiaohao but did not bid, unclear of his intention.
"Congratulations to Bai Xue Company for winning this blood diamond with 50 million," Murong Yu Yan said with a sweet smile.
Zhang Xiaohao walked up to the stage.
He looked at her seriously and said,
"Is all the money from tonight’s auction being d to Hope Primary School?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Huh!" Murong Yu Yan involuntarily blinked.
Her painting-like eyes measured Zhang Xiaohao up again.
"Giggle! Handsome, what’s your name?" Murong Yu Yan smiled.
"Zhang Xiaohao! Public Relations Manager at Bai Xue Company," Zhang Xiaohao introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang. Regarding your query, I can assure you with the centennial credibility of the Murong Family that all of tonight’s auction proceeds will be d to Hope Primary School. I, Murong Yu Yan, will oversee the entire process! Anyone who dares to reach for a dime, won’t need you to act; I will chop off their hands myself!" Murong Yu Yan declared assertively.
"Mhm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"In that case, bring up all your auction items!" Zhang Xiaohao said with charismatic authority.
"Huh! Mr. Zhang, what are you trying to do?" Murong Yu Yan asked suspiciously.
Her beautiful eyes scanned Zhang Xiaohao once more.
"I’ll take everything!" Zhang Xiaohao said flamboyantly.
"Taking everything?" Murong Yu Yan asked, still doubtful.
"Mhm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded again.
"Hmph! Miss Murong, this guy is here to cause trouble, quickly have him thrown out!" Brother Tian shouted coldly.
Young Master Zhou looked at Zhang Xiaohao with amusement, sitting there still, with his eyes slightly squinted, quietly enjoying the drama.
"Damn it! This wretched guy dares to take advantage of the situation to flirt. Humph! After this, you’re losing your reward," Cheng Tianxue thought to herself bitterly.
