Chapter 118

Xu Yun dressed head to toe like the tall rich and handsome archetype, simply making people’s eyes s.h.i.+ne.

QiangZi couldn’t help but to lament, “Truly a person relies on their clothes, and a horse relies on the saddle.”

“Daddy’s outfit wasn’t handsome before?” Xu Yun said with displeasure, wearing this wasn’t comfortable. “I’ve never worn this kind of clothing since I was small. It’s awkward as h.e.l.l.”

GuoGuo helplessly shook her head, but today she absolutely wouldn’t indulge Xu Yun in wearing flip flops and a skull print tank top – that was simply too embarra.s.sing for her as well as her mom and Qiu Yan-jiejie.

Finally Xu Yun and GuoGuo reached an agreement. Xu Yun could wear these clothes, but he absolutely wouldn’t wear the bowtie. GuoGuo also agreed, but requested Xu Yun to unb.u.t.ton three b.u.t.tons – this way he would appear even more flashy.

Xu Yun was finally dressed up by GuoGuo into a frivolous, unruly young bada.s.s of a play-boy. Apparently this way he was a bit more fitting when putting him beside Ruan QingShuang and Qiu Yan.

If it wasn’t for that hotel, even if Xu Yun was beaten to death he wouldn’t wear uncomfortable clothing. d.a.m.n, these pants, if it came to blows just raising his leg would rip the crotch of his pants.

At three in the afternoon, QiangZi drove them to the scene on time.

The auction hall was in a conference room of this HeDong Grand Hotel. Inside was packed tightly with thirty rows of chairs – altogether able to accommodate five or six hundred people. This was truly not small.

Just as the four of them got out the car they saw Qin Wan’er. Qin Wan’er had already reserved for them seats and numbers; the treatment was naturally far beyond ordinary.

Xu Yun led the three beauties grouped together, immediately arousing an uproar.

A handsome guy with two beauties and GuoGuo like a little princess, absolutely stimulated the crowd’s eyeb.a.l.l.s. Ruan QingShuang and Qiu Yan – one peerlessly n.o.ble, one cool and extraordinary, naturally became the focus of everyone’s eyeb.a.l.l.s.

Afterall there weren’t many women in the auction hall, so Xu Yun’s noticeability wasn’t high. This was also good. No matter what was said about Xu Yun he was a low-key young man.

Back when Qiu Yan accompanied Millennium Feng she had long become used to such a scene, but Ruan QingShuang truly hadn’t received so much of this kind of excited scene. With so many eyes on her, she felt quite a bit uncomfortable.

GuoGuo didn’t mind having her limelight stolen. She had confidence that ten years later, she would be even more incomparably peerless.

“A lot of people.” Uncomfortable, Ruan QingShuang got closer to Xu Yun. Only near Xu Yun did she feel a little safer.

Xu Yun nodded. “Seems like today this scene is even bigger than I thought.”

Originally Xu Yun had thought that since the South City Tiger Trio had already disseminated the news, most of the people should give up coming here. But what he hadn’t thought of was that Liu Sheng’s villa was also an especially hot buy. As well as the location’s FengShui, it was absolutely HeDong City’s top location since ancient times – the very highest of China’s east.

Additionally, there was also one reason. Even though pretty much all the eager buyers had given up on the hotel, but very many people that hadn’t seen Ruan QingShuang and Xu Yun in person all wanted to see these respectable persons. This was also a reason why the auction hall was so popular.

Some gang leaders of HeDong already started whispering that these two girls were cla.s.sy, and of course they had no good impression of Xu Yun. Those that said it and those that didn’t all had the same thinking – truly a good napa cabbage had already been eaten by a pig.

Xu Yun also wasn’t unable to see what these grandsons were thinking, just that he was too lazy to argue with them. Whatever they wanted to think was fine.

Finally, within a corner of the venue, the South City Tiger Trio saw Xu Yun and Ruan QingShuang, and hurried to greet them. “Shuang-jie, Yun-ge, you have come.”

Even though their voices weren’t at all loud, but it was enough for people to hear and the rate this was pa.s.sed along was absolutely not slower than the speed of the blogosphere. In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar.

This made Ruan QingShuang even more uncomfortable. She still wasn’t used to becoming the focus of everyone’s attention. At the moment she had again become the topic of everyone’s discussion, and completely had no way of getting used to it.

“Mommy, your reputation is really big.” GuoGuo sneakily smiled, and then again sighed. “Ai, it seems GuoGuo-jie’s reputation still hasn’t spread yet.”

Right now Ruan QingShuang’s prestige was already second to none. The South City Tiger Trio recovering their power completely hung on Shuang-jie’s name.

At the lead of the South City Tiger Trio, the four people of the uproarious venue came to the seats that Qin Wan’er had long reserved before. The four of them sat down, and all voices of the audience followed suit in silence.

Everyone around Ruan QingShuang didn’t even dare to breathe loudly – after all, the person in front of them was exactly the current number one of HeDong City’s Underworld!

But this quiet barely lasted less than half a minute. Closely following with the crowd’s discussion, everyone was whispering. Ruan QingShuang completely couldn’t hear what they were saying, and these people didn’t dare to be loud, afraid they would bother Ruan QingShuang.

“Achee! Achee!” Xu Yun’s nose was itchy, and even sneezed twice in a row.

After this once again the entire venue quieted down, quiet such that even dropping a needle could be heard; it could be seen in everyone’s eyes just what kind of powerful tyrant Xu Yun was.

“d.a.m.n!” Xu Yun rubbed his nose. “One thought, two curses and three things to worry about, I sneezed twice, who is talking sh*t about me?”

Even though Xu Yun was casually speaking to himself, but he made everyone so nervous that they stopped breathing!

The South City Tiger Trio’s gazes each looked around. This time the people who spoke with envy or had it in their hearts all turned green as though they were afraid of their thoughts being seen through, and didn’t even have the courage to look at the South City Tiger Trio in the face.

“Yun-ge, there’s no one here that dares to speak ill of you.” Shan HongNing bitterly laughed.

“That’s not for sure.” Xu Yun’s sixth sense told him that there was an unfriendly gaze staring at him, but because of his status, by no means would he go find out who would secretly glare at him.

While speaking, the auctioning staff official appeared at the scene – he was mid-ranked of the government’s National a.s.sets Department.

He didn’t have to say much and everyone quieted down politely, and because the scene originally was already quite quiet, he spoke. “Good afternoon everyone. Today everyone who has come has the same purpose, so I won’t speak too much nonsense. The following things will be handed over to the auctioneer. Ladies and Gentlemen, you only need to prepare to raise your paddles.”

After the auctioneer spoke with the leaders.h.i.+p he went to the auction block, and with a polite smile he said, “Today is a very special auction. Everyone is very clear, and I don’t need to explain. At the moment I will bring up the very first auction item. This is a two-storied, six hundred meters+ villa, located in our HeDong City’s villa district at the eastern outskirts. Surely everyone knows of that place, perhaps some are even owners living in that location.”

Below it was especially quiet. Xu Yun looked around, at the scene nearly everyone was member of a gang. It was impossible for a corrupt official working at government departments to dare come, so this ensured his confidence even more that his 8 million could get the hotel.

“No need to say much, everyone is very clear of the value of this villa. At the moment the starting price is 1 million, raise from one million!” The auctioneer slightly smiled, “Now the auction has started!”

The words descended, and the entire room was at first in a spell of silence, seeming as though everyone’s gaze cl.u.s.tered onto Ruan QingShuang, waiting for her to bid.

If it wasn’t because he was tight on cash, Xu Yun would have called out long ago. Forget it, endure for the hotel, anyways if they bought the hotel everyone could live in the top private rooms, and they completely wouldn’t need to buy a villa.

Finally someone was sure Ruan QingShuang had no intent to buy it, and called out the first bid, “1.2 million!”

The auctioneer stretched out his hand pointing. “Number 37 has bid 1.2 million! Does anyone other friend want it!?”

With the spur of the first person,the whole room was instantly ignited. “1.5 million!”

“2 million!”

“2.1 million!”

“2.6 million……”

Even though the bid increased at 10,000, but the asking price for this villa was originally very low, so most were increases of 10,000 or 20,000 and even 50,000. The asking price of 1 million for the villa very quickly rose to 5 million.

At this time the main event began, a bid from the back was a determined buyer.

“6 million!” This raised it by 1 million, truly quite ruthless.

“8 million!” Truly rich people in HeDong were as many as cows had fur.

“10 million!” Wow, truly so bold! Directly raising it to eight digits!

A price of 10 million truly made everyone stunned for a moment.

The auctioneer lightly smiled, “10 million! Our friend number 56 has bid 10 million! Does anyone else want to bid!?”

The person who bid 10 million was truly no outsider, and it was exactly the South City Tiger Trio’s Lu Feng. Of the three of them he was the wealthiest, and having been in the construction industry for many years, he was clear about the villa’s location. At the moment at the very least it was worth 15 million, even if it only changed hands he would earn 5 million.

Anyway, Lu Feng was sure Shuang-jie and Yun-ge had no interest, and boldly called out bids.

The crowd seeing that it was Lu Feng speaking while sitting next to Ruan QingShuang and Xu Yun, each pondered for a bit, not knowing if they still dared to speak.

“10 million going once!” The auctioneer used all his effort to try to move the mood of the entire room, “This is an excellent location, the extremely good FengShui of the villa district! At this price buying it is affordable, buying it is a.s.sured, buying it is equivalent to earning it!”

GuoGuo rolled her eyes, “Oh please! This guy should change his job to selling on infomercials.”

Lu Feng felt solid confidence in his chest that no one would pay 10,000 more and also offend him, this kind of hot person beside Shuang-jie.

Just as everyone was calming down, when they were preparing to see Lu Feng earn for cheap, a woman’s voice as sharp and clear as an oriole sounded, “20 million.”

Shock!

Even Xu Yun and Qiu Yan, these two venerated extremely powerful people couldn’t help but to feel a bit apprehensive.

Lu Feng nearly didn’t even hide his anger heading over, directly going over to the place he heard the voice – but because there were too many people, he couldn’t see clearly, and could only conclude it was that girl that was twenty years-old or so.

The eyes of the whole room looked over, and everyone discussed who this girl was. It seems that they hadn’t even seen her before.

“Number 165 has bid. 20 million going once!” The auctioneer felt joy in his heart; they only liked these kinds of people.

With this price, of course no one would speak again. If it was raised anymore, there completely wouldn’t be any gain for cheap.

“20 million, going twice!” The auctioneer raised the gavel. “Going thrice! Sold! Congratulations number 165 for buying the villa on the eastern outskirts!”

Truly an extremely bold girl, directly shocking the entire room, with the winds blowing her way comparable to Ruan QingShuang and Xu Yun and the others – and also surpa.s.sing in comparison.

Xu Yun looked at Lu Feng smiling, “What kind of background does that girl have? To even dare to take a property that you’re eyeing? Hehe, not simple eh. It seems like there’s a powerful person in HeDong City here.”

Lu Feng shook his head. “Yun-ge, this girl definitely isn’t a native of our HeDong City. Locals definitely wouldn’t have raised this bid. Even though that villa district already has no listings, but at the very most it’s worth 18 or 19 million, 20 million is not worth it.”
