"The first item we will be auctioning is a diamond bracelet donated by Ms. Shen Huihui. This bracelet is Ms. Shen Huihui's favorite bracelet. The starting bid is 50,000 HKD, and each increment must be at least 10,000 HKD. Everyone, please place your bids. "
Li Zekai wanted to show that he had forgiven Fu Guangwei, and he was also the first item to be auctioned. But what Fu Guangwei said earlier had made it clear to everyone that Li Zekai must bid for this bracelet.
"100,000 HKD." Li Zekai raised his hand.
"110,000."
"130,000."
"150,000."
… …
"200,000 HKD." After a few token bids, Li Zekai made another bid. This bracelet's real value was less than 100,000 HKD. This time, no one followed Li Zekai's bid. In the end, this bracelet was sold for 200,000 HKD. Li Zekai took back the bracelet and put it on Shen Huihui.
But no one noticed that Shen Huihui did not look happy. The Second Young Master of the Li Family was only willing to spend 200,000 HKD on her.
After the applause, the rest of the people also took out their items to be auctioned. There were sunglasses, neckties, brooches, necklaces, rings, etc. These were all items that Fu Guangwei had brought with him, and they were all auctioned off.
Fu Guangwei was very excited. These people's bids were much higher than the previous charity auctions he had attended. In the past, the bids were around 30,000 to 50,000 HKD. But this time, the cheapest item was at least 100,000 HKD!
Feng Yu's first donation had played a big part in helping the University. No one wants to lose face. 30,000 to 50,000 HKD for a pair of sunglasses was already a sky-high price. But compared to the others, it was too shabby.
Didn't you see that the copybook that looked like a chicken claw was bought by someone for 100,000 HKD? If this book was sold outside, no one would even buy it for 5 HKD!
"The next item is a scarf from my sister, Fu Mengying. The starting bid is 10,000 HKD, and each increment must be at least 5,000 HKD."
Fu Mengying raised her hand: "20,000 HKD."
"50,000 HKD."
"100,000 HKD."
"180,000 HKD."
"250,000 HKD."
… …
Feng Yu suddenly realized that something was amiss. Why were there so many people bidding for this scarf? Didn't the previous auctioneers stop bidding after three to five times? This scarf was not worth more than 10,000 HKD. Now, it had increased to 320,000 HKD!
Moreover, it was usually the men who bid more to win the beauty's smile, just like the lipstick and earrings from before. But no one bid so high, right?
The strangest thing was, why were all the bidders women? Why did this woman fight with Fu Mengying for the scarf? Didn't she know that Fu Mengying was going to take it back? Was he deliberately raising the price?
Was Fu Mengying so unpopular? But those women still need to give face to the Fu family. Or could it be that the young ladies here were all so willful?
Fu Mengying also did not expect that she would be able to get the scarf back with just a scarf. Although Feng Yu had raised the donation level for the Charity Ball, she thought she could get the scarf back with at most 100,000 HKD.
But the price of the scarf had increased to more than 300,000 HKD. She did not have enough money. If she could not get the scarf back, then she and the Fu family would lose face. But even if she could get the scarf back, she also could not afford so much money. Fu Guangwei also did not have so much money.
Fu Mengying pulled Feng Yu's sleeve lightly. Feng Yu turned and looked at Fu Mengying: "What do you want?"
"Feng Yu, can you help me get the scarf back? I will return you the money later." Fu Mengying could only beg the people around her. Damn. Why were her cousins not bidding for the scarf? Did they really think she could afford a few hundred thousand HKD? How much was her monthly allowance?
Feng Yu realized that many people were looking at him. What were these people trying to say? Should I help her get the scarf back? What the hell has this got to do with me? I am not her friend!
But if Feng Yu did not help, then Fu Mengying would be embarrassed. Feng Yu would also be looked down upon by others, and the 1 million USD spent would not be as effective. It could be said that this scarf was related to his face.
"400,000 HKD." Feng Yu raised his hand and shouted.
"450,000 HKD." A female voice shouted from the other side.
Feng Yu turned around and saw a proud look on her face. Who was this? What was her surname again? Feng Yu did not remember offending this person. He looked at Fu Mengying. Fu Mengying was also confused. She also did not remember offending the Second Miss of the Huo Family.
Feng Yu did not know that all this was because he had rejected those girls from the Huo Family to dance. Those girls who had invited him felt embarrassed. Especially the Second Miss of the Huo Family. This was the first time she had invited a man to dance, and she was rejected!
Feng Yu was too embarrassed to ask Fu Mengying for money. That means he was spending his own money. Spending money should be done with a purpose. Pointless bickering would only result in idiocy.
"This is my last bid. 460,000 HKD. If anyone wants to increase the bid, I will stop." Feng Yu said.
Everyone was looking at Feng Yu, but when they heard what Feng Yu said, they turned to look at the Second Miss of the Huo Family. The Second Miss of the Huo Family was also being scolded by her brother. Why did you embarrass the Fu Family for no reason? Furthermore, you had offended Feng Yu, whom he had wanted to befriend. Do you know that Fu Guangzheng, who used to sell antiques and offended people, had increased his wealth after he got to know Feng Yu?
In the end, the Second Miss of the Huo Family did not increase the bid. She let Feng Yu use 460,000 HKD to buy back the scarf that was originally worth a few thousand HKD. Everyone clapped and congratulated Feng Yu. 460,000 HKD. Feng Yu had bid the highest bid in this auction. This Feng Yu was really rich!
The auction continued. But when the Second Miss of the Huo Family's necklace was brought up for auction, the base price was 80,000 HKD. Fu Mengying raised the bid to 300,000 HKD and purposely looked at the Second Miss of the Huo Family.
Feng Yu looked at Fu Mengying in shock. Didn't you say you don't have any money? Are you trying to make me pay for this necklace?
The Second Miss of the Huo Family saw Fu Mengying's expression and her face changed. This necklace was given to her by her mother. Although it was not worth a lot, it was meaningful. She must not let anyone else win this necklace.
Fu Mengying raised the bid to 500,000 HKD before she stopped. The Second Miss of the Huo Family was so angry that she stomped her feet. But her brother scolded her. It was all her fault. This month, he will not give her any more money secretly. The Second Miss of the Huo Family had no choice but to accept the congratulations from the others. After all, her necklace was the highest bid in the auction.
Feng Yu thought this was the end. But Fu Mengying continued to raise the bid of a few more people. These were all the young ladies from wealthy families who had raised the price of their scarves.
This was obviously revenge. But those young ladies still had to buy their scarves. If Fu Mengying bought their scarves and threw them away after polishing her shoes, they would be disgraced.
Feng Yu realized that Fu Mengying was a vengeful person. Fu Guangwei had hinted to Fu Mengying a few times that this was his charity ball and not to let his sister spoil it. But Fu Mengying pretended not to notice. She will not let this happen. She was still brooding over the loss of 300,000 HKD. She did not know that Feng Yu had no intention to ask her for the money.
Feng Yu was the one who donated at the start of the auction, and he had also bought a scarf for Fu Mengying. That's why he did not want to send anything else to the auction. He had already gotten to know all the people he wanted to know, and the amount of donations was sufficient. Why would he waste his money?
Until the auction ended, Feng Yu did not bid again. But Fu Guangwei, who was on the stage, was smiling. This charity ball had received more than 10 million HKD, excluding Feng Yu's 1 million USD. This was an unprecedented success. As the host, he was also proud.
What made him happier was that Feng Yu was willing to spend more than 400,000 HKD to buy that scarf for his sister. Seems like Feng Yu still had feelings for his sister. It would be great if these two could be together!
