"Does he really have the money to pay? Do you guys think the guy before was framing him or telling the truth?"
"If he can’t pay, that’ll be interesting. By then, that guy from Nanzhou will have a good time."
"According to Young Master Hong’s handling methods, he would end up subsidizing that guy from Nanzhou."
When Ye Feng took the stage, everyone began to whisper, clearly not optimistic about him, feeling that he would contribute to the guy from Nanzhou.
The guy from Nanzhou was the man in the duckbill cap competing with Ye Feng, the largest jeweler in Nanzhou.
At this moment, the guy from Nanzhou also sneered.
Actually, he was indeed gambling; he was betting that Ye Feng couldn’t pay. Then he could acquire the No. 2 bid king at a lower price and get a subsidy.
So, in the end, although he still had some competitive power, he didn’t bid.
Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Ye Feng sneered and paid no mind.
But Liu Xue, hearing their chatter, was inexplicably a bit nervous.
In the transaction area, Ye Feng took out a bank card, just a very ordinary one.
"This guy is definitely maliciously competing. Watch him get his comeuppance." Seeing this, Liu Qingsong was extremely excited.
In his mind, there was no way such an ordinary card could hold nine hundred million in funds.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, if you had nine hundred million, you’d get a black card or something.
"Looks like I gambled right." The man from Nanzhou in the front also smiled excitedly.
He thought he bet right, not only was No. 2 bid king his, but he’d also make some money.
"This guy, really doesn’t have the money? Is it really malicious competition?" Others were also extremely surprised.
In an instant, all eyes focused on Ye Feng.
Even Hong Qi was taken aback: "No way? If you didn’t have the money, you should’ve told me earlier; I could’ve transferred it to you."
At the same time, Hong Qi made up his mind that even if Ye Feng didn’t have the money, he would stand by him and pay for him if necessary.
Thinking of this, Hong Qi walked towards the transaction area to clean up the mess for Ye Feng.
"Swipe the card!" But Ye Feng smiled and gestured.
"Sir, are you sure?" The cashier, a lady, asked uncertainly.
She thought Ye Feng got the wrong card and wanted to remind him to switch cards.
"What else?" But Ye Feng was unfazed, asking in return.
"Alright then." Seeing Ye Feng so assured, the cashier lady proceeded to swipe the card.
After successfully swiping, she began to issue a receipt, and the device showed the successful transaction—an expenditure of nine hundred million?
"This is... was the card successfully swiped?" Seeing this, the cashier lady realized her concern was unnecessary.
After the transaction, she handed Ye Feng the card and other documents, respectfully saying, "Transaction complete, good luck, now the No. 2 bid king is yours."
"What? Transaction successful? He has that much money?" Witnessing this, the previously excited man from Nanzhou slumped into his chair, utterly dejected.
He thought he had reached heaven, only to find he’d been cast into hell.
"How is this possible? Where did he get that kind of money? This is not logical." The most stunned was Liu Qingsong, his face showing utter shock and anger.
He never thought Ye Feng really had the money to pay and bought the No. 2 bid king.
"Haha!" The happiest and most triumphant was Hong Qi, seeing Ye Feng’s successful payment, he laughed excitedly: "I knew it, how could boss not have money? Seems like I was worrying for nothing."
In his excitement, Hong Qi retraced his steps as if nothing had happened.
"Now this is what you call low profile, this is a true boss, paying nine hundred million without even a frown."
"What did that guy say before? Said he couldn’t afford over five hundred million, and now? He paid nine hundred million. I just want to ask, does your face hurt from being slapped?"
"That guy, truly a joke. Without Liu Xue, the Liu Family really became a laughingstock."
"And now Liu Xue, with such a powerful boss backing her, is bound to shine in Jiangcheng, it seems like the sky of Jiangcheng is about to change."
Seeing Ye Feng swipe nine hundred million in the blink of an eye, they became more respectful towards him, with no more previous chatter, rather they regarded Liu Qingsong as a joke, thinking Liu Xue would undoubtedly accomplish great things with Ye Feng.
Previously, Liu Xue was already intimidating enough for them.
But now, Liu Xue made them feel danger and fear, fearing they might lose their ground any day.
So, after the auction, they would definitely make a good relationship with Liu Xue and surely win her favor.
With their discussions, Liu Qingsong felt his face burning with pain, swelling from the figurative slap.
"Husband, where did you get the money?" Puzzled, Liu Xue asked with a furrowed brow.
"Borrowed it from someone, once you make money, pay me back and I’ll return it to them." Ye Feng smiled, giving a pretense.
"Alright then!" Hearing this, Liu Xue nodded.
Liu Xue never imagined that it was always Ye Feng who provided resources, funding, solved troubles, and still remained the major shareholder of her company.
Ye Feng was like a Guardian God, protecting Liu Xue, allowing her to successfully carve out her career.
If Liu Xue really knew all this, would she be overwhelmed with emotion?
After securing these two raw stones, Ye Feng was content.
The jadeite in the No. 2 bid king was worth at least over a billion in jadeite.
And the No. 5 bid king was even more impressive; if cut open, it would surely astonish everyone.
Back at their seats, Ye Feng and Liu Xue noticed Liu Qingsong’s face was very unpleasant, making Ye Feng smile smugly.
He knew Liu Qingsong was waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Ye Feng wanted to show him a joke, but his strength wouldn’t allow it!
As Ye Feng and Liu Xue sat, the No. 1 bid king began to auction.
As Ye Feng guessed, the competition was most intense for the bid king, mainly the people in the front fighting for it.
Originally, if Ye Feng was willing, he could have sat at the front with the best seat.
But Ye Feng was too low-profile, so he had the Xu Family arrange an ordinary seat, to match Liu Xue’s company’s situation.
Seeing these people bid frantically and the rapidly rising prices made Ye Feng click his tongue.
No doubt, this was the undisputed bid king, with the highest-recognized auction price for raw stones, so under these circumstances, it made sense; otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense...
