Chapter 184 Auction
Starting bid: one dollar!
Huang Dacheng tapped the gong with a slightly excited expression, making a "dong" sound.
"One dollar, Mr. Huang, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Some people couldn't believe the price and shouted it out.
"That's right, just one dollar!"
Huang Dacheng pointed to Liang Bixin on the food cart.
After this quote was announced, the few real estate developers who were eager to bid hesitated to make their own, suspecting that there was something fishy going on.
"Isn't one dollar?"
Fatty Lin turned his head and asked.
"yes!"
Zhong Tianzhen nodded.
"No one's making an offer?"
Huang Dacheng chuckled and patted Liang Bixin's face, saying, "Ah Xin signed with me a long time ago and joined my company. I trained her for eight years, and she's mastered every skill and technique imaginable. You won't lose out for a penny!"
He paused, then added, "You know, just a few days ago, I still considered Ah Xin the apple of my eye. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Ah Zhen, how did Ah Xin offend President Huang and get auctioned off in public?" Fatty Lin gestured toward the stage and asked curiously.
We'd like to know the answer to that question too.
However, that's not what I noticed. What I noticed was Fatty Lin's hand. His hand was on Zhong Tianzhen's shoulder, and his fingers were tapping Zhong Tianzhen's delicate collarbone intermittently.
"Fatty, Ah Xin has offended Boss Huang more than once or twice. Last time, she cheated on Boss Huang with a boyfriend, and he was already auctioned off once. That auction sold for three million!"
Zhong Tianzhen didn't pay attention to Fatty Lin's fingers. She looked at Liang Bixin on the food cart with a complicated expression, a mix of smugness, relief, and unspoken worry.
I instantly understood her look. When we were kids, most of the students in our class had that same look when the class monitor who loved to tattle got scolded by the teacher. They were both gloating and worried that they would be the next ones to be scolded.
"Oh, three million last time, one dollar this time?" Fatty Lin laughed.
"Last time it was on the ship, and Ah Xin took half a month to recover after returning!" Zhong Tianzhen said.
Have you ever been auctioned off?
Fatty Lin pinched Zhong Tianzhen's cheek and asked.
Zhong Tianzhen fell silent.
Silence means consent.
"I wasn't auctioned off, I was given away!"
Just when I thought Zhong Tianzhen wouldn't answer, she spoke up.
"deliver?"
Fatty Lin looked at Zhong Tianzhen with amusement and asked, "You're so famous, you still want to give gifts?"
"Fatty, that's how it is in Hong Kong. Even superstars aren't immune!" Chung Tin-chen said.
"Is no one taking pictures?"
While the two were chatting, no one made a bid, so Huang Dacheng asked again.
Everyone knows there's a problem with this situation, so of course no one is willing to bid.
"Ah-Xin, there are penalties for not getting a bid!"
Seeing this, Huang Dacheng wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and patted Liang Bixin's face.
With her mouth gagged, Liang Bixin immediately swayed her body upon hearing this, pleadingly looking at the crowd below the stage, appearing pitiful and endearing.
Even so, no one made a bid.
"How did she offend General Manager Huang this time?" Fatty Lin asked.
"I heard she's climbed the social ladder and wants to terminate her contract!" Zhong Tianzhen glanced at Liang Bixin on the stage with envy and jealousy.
"Climb up a high branch? Which high branch?" I asked.
"The second son of Li Guagua, the richest man in China!" Zhong Tianzhen said.
"Yo ho!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin's eyes lit up immediately. He raised his hand and shouted, "I'll put in one dollar!"
"Alright, our Master Lin has offered one dollar. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"
Huang Dacheng banged the gong and pointed at Fatty Lin, shouting.
No one responded.
Now I understand why no one bid.
First, some people felt there was something fishy going on; second, some people knew that Liang Bixin had hooked up with Li Guagua's second son and dared not make a bid.
But they are worried about Li Guagua's second son; we don't need to worry about that.
"One mosquito, my first time!"
Seeing that no one was bidding, Huang Dacheng struck the gong.
Still no one made a bid.
"One mosquito, for the second time!"
"One mosquito, for the third time!"
Three gongs rang out in succession, but no one bid. Huang Dacheng's face gleamed with oil as he pointed at Fatty Lin and shouted, "Alright, Ah Xin belongs to Master Lin tonight! Please invite Master Lin to the stage!"
Fatty Lin stood up, straightened his clothes, and even jokingly cupped his hands in greeting to the people around him.
The crowd looked at him strangely; some were curious, but most were gloating, waiting for him to suffer.
After going on stage, Huang Dacheng handed the food cart to Fatty Lin and said, "Master Lin, the rooms are in the back. Do whatever you want with them!"
"Sure, sure!"
Fatty Lin took the food cart, but didn't leave. Instead, he said, "Mr. Huang, I'm afraid I can't handle this alone. I'd like someone to help me!"
Huang Dacheng was taken aback, then quickly realized what he meant and beckoned to Zhong Tianzhen, who was sitting next to me, saying, "Tianzhen, you'll help Master Lin tonight!"
"good!"
Zhong Tianzhen hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sweetly replied.
"Fatty is so mean! You're not allowed to copy him!"
Long Nier then leaned close to my ear and whispered some instructions.
While giving me instructions, he also pinched me.
"Nier, I didn't do anything!" I felt wronged.
"Did you watch less tonight?" Long Nier snorted.
"You've seen plenty of those male models too, haven't you?" I retorted.
"Um?"
Long Nier glared at her and started pinching her again.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" I quickly begged for forgiveness.
As they were talking, Zhong Tianzhen had already gone up on stage and was pushing the food cart to the back with Fatty Lin.
"Keep the party going!"
Huang Dacheng struck the gong once, and the lights dimmed again.
"Girl, Huang Dacheng is coming down, can you give him some face?"
Seeing Huang Dacheng walking over, I continued to beg for mercy.
"Waiting to go back!"
Long Nier twisted her hand and then let go.
"Chirp!"
Little Eight also popped up and chirped in response.
"You little brat!" I laughed in exasperation.
During this period, Xiao Ba did a lot of this kind of kicking someone when they're down.
As they were talking, Huang Dacheng returned.
"Mr. Huang, aren't you afraid of offending Li Guagua?"
After Huang Dacheng sat down, I didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.
"What am I afraid of?"
Huang Dacheng chuckled and said, "If what I'm doing really manages to break up Young Master Li and Ah Xin, President Li might even thank me!"
I thought about it, and it really is true.
To put it bluntly, Liang Bixin was just a plaything that Huang Dacheng kept, and she was even auctioned off once.
A woman like that, let alone entering the Li family, wouldn't even be allowed into an ordinary family!
Thinking about this, a question suddenly came to mind.
What makes a woman like Liang Bixin so captivating to Young Master Li?
If you had Li Yuechi's beauty, that would be fine, but you don't!
Liang Bixin is not top-notch in terms of figure or face, so what makes her so captivating to the well-traveled and experienced Li Er Gongzi?
