Chapter 16
Chapter 16:
Soon, the hall erupted in uproar and everyone’s eyes instantly fell on Ye Chen.
The young man brought by Sun Zhentian hadn’t made a move the entire time, and unexpectedly, his first move was so bold!
Six billion and ten million yuan?!
And the target of his bidding was none other than the top wealthy young master Chen Lang?!
But perhaps Cheng Jinjin and Xiao Mingyue were the most surprised.
He’s stirred things up, he really has!
This Ye Chen actually started bidding according to what was written in Chen Lang’s diary!
Could it be that the diary was true?
Was everything in this world just someone else’s scripted novel…
Meanwhile, Chen Lang, sitting in the wheelchair on the second floor, displayed visible anger. “Ye Chen, are you doing this intentionally?!”
Ye Chen raised his head proudly and smirked widely. “In an auction, the highest bidder wins. Does intention matter?”
Chen Lang’s gaze shot daggers. “Fine! I bid seven billion yuan! Let’s see if you dare to do it!”
“Seven billion and ten million yuan!”
“…Nine billion yuan! I’m going to win this painting today!”
“Nine billion and ten million yuan!”
With each increase of one or two billion yuan from Chen Lang, Ye Chen added ten million yuan each time.
At this moment, only the sounds of Chen Lang and Ye Chen bidding against each other could be heard in the entire hall.
“Thirteen billion yuan!”
“Thirteen billion and ten million yuan!”
The bidding continued and the price reached thirteen billion yuan.
Seeing this scene, the audience was dumbfounded!
A painting worth three billion yuan suddenly skyrocketed to ten billion yuan! And it showed no signs of stopping!
These two were completely at odds with each other!
In fact, everyone also realized that Ye Chen and Chen Lang definitely had some bad blood!
Ye Chen’s status at Nanjiang University was already high, but not everyone took him seriously!
But now!
Ye Chen actually had such ability!
Even without bidding against the top wealthy young master Chen Lang, he was smirking. Who would dare smile like that without some real power?
Just walking out the door made people scared.
While everyone’s gaze was focused in the center of the room, Sun Zhentian quietly tugged at Ye Chen’s sleeve. “Ye Chen, my friend, we can’t afford to bid any higher. It’s not worth provoking the Chen family over a painting!”
It was he who brought Ye Chen here. If Ye Chen messed with Chen Lang, wouldn’t that involve him?
However, Ye Chen just shrugged at these words.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m just making Chen Lang bleed a little. This painting will definitely end up in his hands in the end.”
Everyone in the auction was shocked, which made Ye Chen feel extremely comfortable.
Even without looking back, he knew Jiang Mengyao on the second floor was watching him.
By now, she must be interested in him, right?
Well, if Jiang Mengyao really knew Ye Chen seriously, she would be shocked!
According to Ye Chen, winning over Jiang Mengyao was a done deal after this.
He straightened his back deliberately, smiled calmly, and looked like he had complete control over the situation.
(On the second floor)
It turned out that Jiang Mengyao hadn’t paid any attention to Ye Chen downstairs at all.
Instead, she looked at Chen Lang’s expression with interest.
Chen Lang’s current expression of anger and shock looked absolutely genuine!
If she hadn’t read the diary in advance, she would never have guessed that this was all an act by Chen Lang.
Having read the diary, Jiang Mengyao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
He was acting really well, so she decided to give him a reward!
“Fourteen billion yuan! Ye Chen, do you dare to challenge me, Chen Lang? Do you have that kind of ability?!”
“Fourteen billion and ten million yuan!”
The bidding between the two continued.
However, gradually, Chen Lang’s rise became less straightforward than before.
He started waiting for one or two announcements from the beauty before raising the bid, with a mix of anger and a hint of hesitation on his face.
This was a signal from Chen Lang to Ye Chen that the end was near! Pay attention!
“Nineteen billion yuan! Ye Chen, do you still want to compete with me, Chen Lang?! Do you have the ability for it?!”
“Nineteen billion and ten million yuan!”
Everyone was already numb with shock.
Witnessing such a bidding battle gave them something to boast about over tea later.
Everyone looked toward the room on the second floor, waiting for Chen Lang to make his move.
At this moment, Chen Lang’s face revealed a mixture of shock, anger, and a hint of confusion!
Ye Chen saw this expression and felt it was about time. Chen Lang would definitely bid again, but he didn’t need to follow suit.
This must also be the limit of what Chen Lang could bear.
Ye Chen considered himself an expert in this area; he had used this tactic often in auctions abroad and always succeeded.
Letting Chen Lang bid twenty billion yuan would make him realize the consequences of provoking him!
Meanwhile, Chen Lang had an angry expression, preparing to shout out twenty billion yuan before the hammer fell, showcasing the protagonist Ye Chen’s precise calculations. After that, the auction would end perfectly, and everyone went home.
The beauty’s pleasant voice rang out, “Nineteen billion and ten million yuan once!”
At this moment, Jiang Mengyao nodded slightly toward the beauty on stage.
In the quiet anticipation of the crowd, the rhythm of the beauty suddenly changed!
“Nineteen billion and ten million yuan twice!
Nineteen billion and ten million yuan three times! Sold!!!!”
Previously, there was a three-second interval between each bid announcement.
This time, there wasn’t even half a second!
It was announced in one breath!
The beauty struck with a small hammer, and then everyone applauded!
???
Ye Chen’s upturned mouth gradually receded, and he felt a sudden darkness before his eyes!
Everyone was shocked, and after a second, they started applauding in unison.
Wow, wow, what an incredible bidding war!
They witnessed the birth of the most unjust case in auction history!
Listening to the audience’s applause, Chen Lang was so shocked that his mouth hung open for half a day.
This time it wasn’t an act; this time it really took him by surprise!
What was going on?! Could it be that he bid too late?
Obviously not, it was this beauty’s fault!
Why didn’t she follow the rules? She didn’t even give people time to react; she just sped through the bids at lightning speed?!
