Chapter 544: Battle of Honor! Not for Bread, but for Dignity!
When this price was announced, the whole audience was shocked. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuge Lan again, and there were exclamations and discussions.
"Who is this? People in the VIP area are actually starting to challenge!"
A man exclaimed.
"Two million gold soul coins, this is not a small amount!"
The woman next to him sighed.
"I saw that the two of them seemed to have a quarrel at the beginning. I guess the people from the two families must have been arguing."
Another man said.
At this time, the old man also said:
"The struggle between the rich, it seems that this Ocean Star necklace is out of my hands."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
The woman also said:
"Now there is a good show to watch, the struggle between the rich."
At this time.
Tang Xu's face became extremely ugly. He didn't expect that someone would dare to bid at this time.
He stared at Zhuge Lan, his eyes burning with anger.
"What do you mean? How dare you ruin my good thing!"
Tang Xu gritted his teeth and said.
Zhuge Lan, however, looked calm and said indifferently:
"The auction is a fair competition. If you can bid, why can't I?"
The host was so excited that his voice was trembling:
"Two million gold soul coins! Is there a higher bid?"
The housekeeper beside Tang Xu also hurriedly approached him and whispered:
"Master, this price has exceeded our budget, otherwise..."
Tang Xu glared at the housekeeper fiercely:
"No! I must get this necklace."
He pressed the button again and shouted loudly:
"Two million and one hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Zhuge Lan did not hesitate and raised the price again:
"Two million and two hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
After that, the whole auction hall was greeted with cheers.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense. Everyone looked at Tang Xu, waiting for Tang Xu's next move.
Tang Xu's face was ashen. He didn't expect Zhuge Lan to be so difficult.
"Two million and three hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
Tang Xu almost shouted out this price.
This statement caused another round of cheers, and everyone looked at Zhuge Lan again.
The two of them had become the focus of this auction item. This was no longer a simple competition for the Ocean Star Necklace, but more like a fight for their personal honor.
Zhuge Lan pressed the button again, shook his handsome hair, and then posed a victory pose and said:
"Two and a half million!"
Amid the deafening cheers in the auction hall, Tang Xu stomped his feet in anger. He said to Zhuge Lan viciously:
"You poor boy, do you know the strength of my White Elephant Family? If you piss me off, you'll be in trouble."
Zhuge Lan was not afraid at all:
"Tsk, what about the White Elephant Family? I've never been afraid of it."
Tang Xu was so angry that he gritted his teeth at Zhuge Lan's arrogant attitude.
Seeing this, Tang Xu's housekeeper hurried forward to hold Tang Xu. He whispered to comfort her:
"Master, don't bother with them. Don't let these people ruin your mood. The current price is far more than the value of this necklace, it's not worth bidding any more."
But.
He, Tang Xu, has always been spoiled and pampered, so he has never been provoked like this.
He doesn't fight for the buns, but for his dignity! He pressed the button again and shouted:
"Two million and eight hundred thousand!"
Zhuge Lan frowned slightly, thinking:
"This kid really dares to shout."
Zhuge Lan looked at Dugu Bo, and his eyes seemed to ask him for advice.
Dugu Bo stroked his green beard and said calmly:
"Since Mr. Tang is so thoughtful and spent a lot of money to buy a necklace to please the beauty, it can be said that he is full of sincerity. Then we can't be an obstacle to him, right? We should have a heart to help others, so let's give this necklace to Mr. Tang!"
Zhuge Lan listened to Dugu Bo's words, his eyes turned, and then he smiled evilly.
He deliberately raised his voice and shouted to Tang Xu:
"Hey, Mr. Tang, congratulations! You are rich and powerful, this necklace belongs to you, I hope you can please the beauty with it, but don't let the beauty look down on you, that would be embarrassing."
Tang Xu's face turned black and he shouted angrily:
"Huh, poor boy, you want to fight me?"
Zhuge Lan also spread his hands, pretending to surrender, and returned to his seat to pick up the snacks and started eating.
The host was also keeping a close eye on the development of the situation in the VIP area.
When he saw Zhuge Lan return to his seat, he understood.
The host drew the attention of the audience back to the auction table and began to count down again. His voice sounded particularly loud in the silent auction hall:
"If no one bids again, I will start counting down."
"Two million and eight hundred thousand once!"
"Two million and eight hundred thousand twice!"
He paused for a moment, and after making sure that no one bid again, he shouted in a louder voice:
"One million and six hundred thousand three times! Deal! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the Ocean Star Necklace!"
As the hammer in the host's hand fell heavily, making a crisp sound, this fierce bidding finally came to an end.
The whole auction hall was filled with huge applause.
"I didn't expect that the competition would be so fierce for the first item!"
A man said excitedly.
"That's right, the two in the VIP area are really fighting."
The man next to him responded.
"But the price is too high. Two million and eight hundred thousand gold soul coins are enough for ordinary people to spend in several lifetimes."
Another woman sighed.
"That's a fight between the rich families. Let's just watch the excitement."
An old man shook his head and said.
"The person who won the necklace seems to be Tang Xu from the White Elephant Family. Tang Xu must have been so angry that he spent so much money on a necklace."
Another person analyzed.
"You can't say that. The White Elephant Family is rich. Maybe this little money is nothing to them."
Someone immediately retorted.
"This first auction item is so intense. The subsequent auction items will definitely be more exciting."
Someone said expectantly.
"Yes, I hope to see more fights between the rich families. That's interesting."
Another person echoed.
At this time.
Tang Xu looked at the envious eyes from the auction floor and looked proud on his face.
He raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of pride, as if he had won an important victory.
At this time.
The etiquette lady held the exquisite box containing the Ocean Star necklace in her hands and walked towards the VIP area where Tang Xu was with an elegant step.
She was wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, as if she had walked out of a classical painting.
The color of the cheongsam was like the elegant blue on the ancient blue and white porcelain, exuding a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
The fabric of the cheongsam was delicate and slightly shiny under the light.
The close-fitting cut perfectly outlined the graceful figure of the etiquette lady, and her slender waist was not even a hand's length. The slender legs were faintly visible at the slit, showing the feminine softness and elegance... (End of this chapter)
