The lack of applause made everything awkward. Tang Mo’er raised her beautiful brows and graciously led her angel girls to take a bow. King-back’s runway show had officially ended.
Soon, one person applauded, followed by two then three. Soon the whole crowd erupted in a thunderous applause.
Everyone in the auction hall was giving the runway show a standing ovation.
Old Master Lin, who was standing beside the door, had a dark expression on his face. His gaze was akin to a poisonous snake wanting to wind itself around the elegant Tang Mo’er on stage and constrict her until she lost her heartbeat.
This girl, she really was like her mom. And he had already ruined her mom, so she would be next…
At this moment, the bead curtains of the other Earth room was pushed open, and a handsome figure emerged.
It was Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen looked from above at Tang Mo’er who was standing in the middle of the stage. He squinted at her with his beautiful eyes and said, “Tang Mo’er, your runway show has ended, but to express your sincerity, you should dance for us to liven up the mood.”
Everyone’s enthusiasm ran even higher when they heard Beichun say that. “Beauty Tang, give us a dance!”
“That’s right, we’ve been waiting…”
Tang Mo’er lifted her bright eyes to look at Huo Beichen’s handsome and devilish figure. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. Was he doing this on purpose?
Purposely making things difficult for her?
Because of Huo Yanmei, Huo Beichen didn’t like her and had been against her since three years ago. He made things difficult for her but even she couldn’t imagine that he would do something like this. How despicable!
“Young Master Huo, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but a woman will only dance for the man she loves, me included. I’ll only be dancing for my man from now on,” Tang Mo’er said.
Huo Beichen stuck both hands in his pocket, his pink lips curving into a thin smile. “I’ll buy your partner’s collaboration rights for 100 million.”
The wealthiest man in Karghalik had named his price, propelling Tang Mo’er’s King-back’s starting price to at least one hundred million.
The CEOs in the auction hall were stunned. Young Master Huo had called out 100 million the moment he opened his mouth.
Wasn’t it rumored that Young Master Huo and Tang Mo’er didn’t get along?
Huo Beichen had named his price at 100 million. Tang Mo’er was pretty astonished as well, but she didn’t think too much. Who knew what this tyrant was thinking about.
Tang Mo’er and the auctioneer exchanged glances. The auctioneer walked over quickly and asked, “Alright, the auction for King-back’s partner collaboration rights have officially started as of this moment. Young Master Huo has opened the bid at 100 million. Is there anyone who would like to raise that?”
“150 million.”
“200 million.”
The CEOs in the room all started bidding.
Huo Beichen stood above watching those below contesting the bid, then said casually, “What I meant just now was, 100 million US dollars.”
What?
100 million US dollars?
Everyone was stunned. Huo Beichen had actually offered 100 million USD.
In the Sky room, Yan Dong said softly, “President, it looks like Young Master Huo really wants to get the partner’s Colma oration rights of King-back. But Young Master Huo hasn’t ventured into the world of jewelry these few years. I wonder why he is so keen to work with King-back?”
Gu Mohan’s handsome features darkened and he pressed his thin lips together.
Fu Qinglun took a look at Gu Mohan. “Beichen holds many things against Tang Mo’er, but no one knows exactly how much.”
Gu Mohan didn’t say anything. At this moment, the auctioneer’s voice rang out beside his ear. “Young Master Huo has offered 100 million USD. No one else has placed a higher bid, Going once… going twice…”
King-back was a jewelry brand. It was already unheard of that its partner’s collaboration rights would be going for 100 million USD.
Gu Mohan looked at Yan Dong silently.
Yan Dong nodded curtly, then opened the bead curtains and raised his plaque outside. “My president raises this bid to 200 million USD.”
Everyone in the auction hall raised their eyes one-by-one. The top magnate from the Sky room had finally made his move!
At this moment, the bead curtains from the other Sky room were pushed open as well. Butler Ye walked out. “My master raises this bid to 300 million USD.”
It was the Lu family’s butler, Butler Ye.
Lu Jinwen was starting to contest as well.
The two of them were bidding in intervals of 100 million USD, and clearly didn’t want anyone else joining the competition.
Huo Beichen wanted to say something, but his secretary ran over hurriedly and whispered to him, “Young Master, please stop bidding. Old Master has frozen all your accounts and the company’s accounts. You don’t have any money right now!”
“What?” Huo Beichen’s eyes turned cold. “How did Old Master Lin find out that I’m over here bidding?”
The secretary wiped cold sweat off his brows. “Young Master, President Gu gave Old Master a call.”
Huo Beichen was at a loss for words.
F*ck!
Second Brother was playing dirty!
Yan Dong continued bidding. “Our president raises the bid to 400 million USD.”
Butler Ye smiled faintly. “500 million USD”
“600 million.”
Butler Ye smiled at the room behind Yan Dong. “My master has instructed us to bid 100 million higher than whatever President Gu bids.”
The whole venue erupted in commotion.
Lu Jinwen was going head to head with Gu Mohan.
They were going all out with their money.
This auction was an unprecedented one. Lu Jinwen had become a tycoon in Singapore before he was 20 and was both extremely talented and extremely wealthy. Gu Mohan was from the younger generation but had already become the richest magnate in the Capital. Half of the Capital’s land belonged to him. Who among these two would have more money?
No one had ever thought of this before. No one, not even wealth rankings, had ever calculated their wealth like that.
The auction had entered a stalemate. Tang Mo’er lifted her head to look at the room upstairs, and knitted her beautiful brows.
At this moment, the bead curtains were pulled open, and a tall, handsome figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight. Gu Mohan had appeared!
Gu Mohan looked over at the room behind Butler Ye, and smiled thinly. “Uncle Jin, it’s been three years since we last met.”
Butler Ye opened the bead curtains respectfully, revealing Lu Jinwen.
Dressed in full black, Lu Jinwen was in a custom-made black shirt and trousers. In the three years that they hadn’t met, his features were still as sharp and handsome as before and he didn’t seem to have aged at all. But he still exuded that dangerously cold aura, his almond-shaped eyes still haughty and indifferent.
All eyes were on him the moment he came into sight.
Lu Jinwen hadn’t been seen for many years already.
Gu Mohan and him in the same place represented the best of their generations.
Fu Qinglun sat on the sofa looking at the backs of these two men. His lips curved upwards. Everyone was busy guessing who had more money between Gu Mohan and Lu Jinwen, but he was laughing at how blind they were. The one with the most money here was… Tang Mo’er.
Among these two men, one was her father and one was her husband, and both of them were helping her earn more money.
The world was cold like this.
Lu Jinwen took a look at Gu Mohan, and with a voice level and devoid of emotion, said, “Kid, you’re 20 years too early to be competing with me on money matters.”
With that, he turned around and walked steadily towards the People room.
