Cheating Others
The auction continued, but it wasn't as heated as the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing the day before. Although the items being auctioned weren't cheap, there weren't many bidders, and the bidding wasn't intense either. Many people gave up after seeing that there were people fighting over the items.
It wasn't something that could be taken or not, and there wasn't a need to ruin their relationship over these things.
"These people are really rich!" Xiaoxiao couldn't help but click her tongue when she heard the tens of millions. "I could buy a Ferrari with just a little bit of it!"
"Didn't you cheat Wu Chentian enough yesterday?" Lin Yi said, amused.
"Heh heh … Who told him to mess with me?" Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly. "I cheated him a lot! He's lucky I didn't teach him a lesson! Eh? Right, Lin Yi, why did you come to the auction? You and them … "
Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it before, but when she remembered that Fatty Lai called Lin Yi boss, her eyes widened. "You're that fatty's boss?"
A few black lines appeared on Lin Yi's forehead. He was a little speechless. He'd neglected the fact that Xiaoxiao was beside him, and he hadn't told Fatty Lai what to watch out for, and now Xiaoxiao saw through him.
"That fatty's the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. He saw that I'm strong, so he wanted to be my follower," Lin Yi explained.
"Oh, I see … That fatty seems to be very rich?" Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes at Fatty Lai. "Hey, Fatty, I'm your sis-in-law. Aren't you going to give me a gift?"
"Wha?" Fatty Lai's eyes widened as he looked at Lin Yi, confused.
"Ignore her, she's sick." Lin Yi waved his hand, gesturing for Fatty Lai to ignore Xiaoxiao.
Fatty Lai laughed dryly and turned his head away, wondering if this girl had anything to do with his boss.
"That's all? He seems to listen to you a lot. Don't tell me you have a share in that pharmaceutical company? " Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid. Naturally, she didn't believe Lin Yi's words. Was it just martial arts that could make that fatty listen to her like that? That doesn't seem possible, right?
Lin Yi ignored her and turned his attention to the auction stage. The next auction item was the Millennium Snow Lotus, but Lin Yi's target was the box that contained the Snow Lotus.
"Tsk! If you don't want to say it, then I won't! " Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed that Lin Yi was ignoring her again. Why was she so bad in his eyes? How was Tang Yun stronger than him?
"The next auction item is a thousand-year-old snow lotus!" The auctioneer slowly placed a delicate wooden box on the stage and said slowly, "I believe everyone knows the uses of the Millennium Snow Lotus, so I don't need to explain! Everyone knows that a Snow Lotus is rare even in a hundred years, let alone a Millennium Snow Lotus! This thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was found in a cave. It's been around for a long time. When it was found, it was stored in this box. After being identified by experts, the age of this Snow Lotus is at least a thousand years … "
The auctioneer went on and on about the origin of the Millennium Snow Lotus. In fact, all of this was stated in the auction booklet, and the auctioneer just repeated it in his own words.
"The starting price of the Millennium Snow Lotus is five million. Let the bidding begin!" The auctioneer finished and waited for the people to start bidding.
This 1,000-year Snow Lotus caused a moment of silence. Although most people had heard of the 1,000-year Snow Lotus, they didn't know how to use it. They weren't researching medicine. Even if they spent five million to buy it, it would probably be useless.
So most people were just watching, but at this moment, someone called out a price.
"Six million!" Kang Guifeng stood up and raised his paddle, calling out a price that wasn't too high. As far as he was concerned, there shouldn't be many people competing for the Millennium Snow Lotus, or even none at all.
Fatty Lai was watching as well, about to make a move when he saw Kang Guifeng raise his paddle. He froze! But then he remembered that House Kang was also a medical company, so it was normal for them to buy the Millennium Snow Lotus. But he didn't know if they were determined to get it.
"Eight million." Fatty Lai raised his paddle.
However, Fatty Lai had been the focus of the auction yesterday, and his raising of his paddle attracted everyone's attention. It wasn't that Fatty Lai was spending eight million to buy some Millennium Snow Lotus, but that he and Kang Guifeng were at loggerheads.
Yesterday, Fatty Lai and Kang Guifeng were competing for the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, and today they were competing again. But even though Fatty Lai and Kang Guifeng were competing, no one else dared to interfere!
First, these two weren't easy to mess with, especially Fatty Lai, who had Guan Xuemin behind him. Who would want to offend him? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if they caused trouble now?
Second, the Millennium Snow Lotus was useless to them, so no one would bid for it.
"Ten million!" Kang Guifeng's face darkened. He didn't think that Fatty Lai would interfere! He thought he could get the Millennium Snow Lotus for six million, but now he had no choice but to raise the price to ten million!
"Fifteen million!" Fatty Lai didn't wait for Kang Guifeng's voice to finish before calling out a new price.
"Fuck!" Kang Guifeng's face turned the color of a pig's liver as he cursed under his breath. He looked at Doctor Kang. "Father, this Fatty Lai is obviously here to cause trouble! He screwed us over yesterday, and I'm guessing he's thinking the same thing today! "
Kang Guifeng couldn't be blamed for thinking that way. People of the same trade were enemies, and this was an unchanging rule. It was only natural that Fatty Lai wanted to go against House Kang.
"We have to get this Millennium Snow Lotus no matter what! It doesn't matter if he's here to cause trouble or not, we can't give up! " Doctor Kang's face was unfriendly as well, but in order for House Kang to be promoted to a noble house, they had to get this Millennium Snow Lotus! Otherwise, everything would be over.
"Twenty million!" Kang Guifeng called out a higher price, hoping to scare Fatty Lai and make him give up.
"Twenty five million!" Fatty Lai wasn't scared at all, calling out a higher price.
"Thirty million!" Kang Guifeng said immediately.
"Fifty million!" Fatty Lai said calmly.
Kang Guifeng was furious. There were only two people bidding, why did you raise the price by twenty million all of a sudden? What was the meaning of this? Did he have too much money to spend, or was he just trying to scare people?
"Fifty-five million!" Kang Guifeng looked at his father, who nodded before continuing.
