Gorgeous CEO Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 174: Spending Money for Dignity!


Whoosh~

The moment these words were spoken, the entire venue was shocked!

All eyes filled with surprise and disdain immediately turned to Lin Fan. Who is this kid? Is he really adding one dollar? Isn't he ashamed? Someone get security to throw him out!

On stage, both Ye Fei'Er and Qin Si Xuan were taken aback, glaring fiercely at Lin Fan. Are you looking down on this Sea Mountain Diamond, or are you looking down on us sisters? You dare to add just one dollar?

Ye Fei'Er, biting back the urge to curse, barely kept a polite tone and said, "Sir, in our auction, the minimum increment is one hundred thousand; one dollar cannot be added."

"One hundred thousand? That much? With that, I could have a different girl every night for a month. Never mind, let someone else have it..." Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.

This time, the looks directed at Lin Fan became even more disdainful. Even Su Yanyu couldn't help but scoot a bit away from him, as if to say she didn't know him.

So embarrassing!

"Haha! Mr. Lin, this is a charity auction. The money from the auction will be donated to children in poverty areas. How can such an act of charity be compared to something as sleazy as hiring girls? If Mr. Lin cannot afford it, please keep quiet, so as not to disgrace the many wealthy individuals present,"

Zheng Longyun suddenly commented with a sarcastic tone.

Then, he raised his hand and shouted, "I want this Sea Mountain Diamond! I'll bid twenty million." Having said that, Zheng Longyun turned to Lin Fan and let out two cold laughs, full of provocation.

Lin Fan's pupils constricted, but the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile!

Su Yanyu frowned slightly, with a touch of gloom between her brows. By now, Su Yanyu had already considered Lin Fan one of her own, so anyone who dared to insult Lin Fan was her enemy!

"Thirty million!" Su Yanyu suddenly shouted.

Whoosh~

The moment these words were spoken, the whole venue was in an uproar!

"Su Yanyu is actually competing with Zheng Longyun for the sake of this unknown man. It seems her relationship with this man is not simple!"

"It's well known that Yanyu Group and Zheng Group have ongoing conflicts; recently, Zheng Longyun even set up Yanyu Group. In this auction competition, neither seems willing to be outdone by the other!"

"This is going to be a good show!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement, eager to see how things would unfold!

Zheng Longyun's face slightly darkened. Of course, he didn't want to be overshadowed by Su Yanyu and continued to shout loudly, "Thirty-five million!"

"Forty million!" Su Yanyu didn't hesitate, raising the bid by another five million.

"Forty-five million..."

"Fifty million!"

"Fifty-five million..."

"Sixty million!"

...

"Eighty million..."

...

In just a moment, Su Yanyu had crazily raised the bid to eighty million, yet she remained unfazed, as if such an amount was but a drop in the ocean to her, not worth mentioning.

Her face carried a proud and arrogant expression, like a queen above everyone, exuding boundless dominance!

Zheng Longyun's face had turned completely dark. His intention to bid was merely to humiliate Lin Fan, yet Su Yanyu's involvement had spiraled the situation out of control. If he admitted defeat now, it would be like slapping his own face.

Gritting his teeth, Zheng Longyun said, "Ninety million!"

"One hundred million!"

Su Yanyu raised the bid again, her tone still as proud and cold!

This time, the entire auction could no longer remain quiet. Everyone turned to look at Su Yanyu in amazement, with some even admiring her boldness!

Spending one hundred million to buy a diamond the size of an egg is indeed an astronomical price, almost unheard of in domestic auctions!

Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng frowned deeply. She had just announced her collaboration with Zheng Longyun. If Zheng Longyun lost this competition, it would also be a slap in the face for her.

"Keep bidding!" Gu Qingcheng immediately commanded.

"Understood!" Zheng Longyun's face lit up with happiness; with Gu Qingcheng backing him, he felt even more confident.

"One hundred fifty million!"

Zheng Longyun ruthlessly added fifty million more!

This time, Su Yanyu's composed expression finally showed a slight change. One hundred fifty million completely exceeded her budget!

Feeling that Su Yanyu was behaving a bit unusually, Lin Fan said, "Boss, it's just a diamond. If you like it, I can find a friend to get you one, and it won't cost more than ten million."

"It's more than just a diamond, it concerns the face of the Yanyu Group! With so many wealthy people present, if I admit defeat, many might look down on us, thinking that the Yanyu Group is too weak and even causing some potential partners to give up on working with us. It concerns the future and the prospects of the group!" Su Yanyu analyzed rationally.

Lin Fan let out a bitter smile, sighing internally: Business is indeed like a battlefield; it's bloodless yet deadly!

"Boss, what is your limit?" Lin Fan asked.

"One hundred sixty million! If they raise the bid any further, I can only give up. Face is important, but our group recently lost tens of billions, we can't spare too much money,"

Su Yanyu's face turned heavy, yet when she looked at that Sea Mountain Diamond, the affection in her beautiful eyes didn't escape Lin Fan's notice. Obviously, the woman really liked this diamond!

"Forget it, I'll help her this time." Lin Fan thought to himself.

As Su Yanyu prepared to raise her hand to bid again, Lin Fan suddenly grabbed her wrist, gently patting the smooth back of her hand to soothe her.

When Su Yanyu turned her head in confusion to look at Lin Fan, Lin Fan had already raised his hand!

"Two hundred million!"

Lin Fan shouted boldly!

Stunned! Shocked! Amazed!

The entire audience was left gaping, eyes popping out. Was this still the same guy who just bid one dollar?

Su Yanyu stared blankly at Lin Fan's handsome profile. Lin Fan's sudden move made her feel warm inside, but could this guy really be worth two hundred million?

Gu Qingcheng's smile instantly disappeared. She knew Lin Fan's identity, and she knew that two hundred million was but a drop in the bucket for Lin Fan. The fee for one of his operations wouldn't be anything less than two hundred million, and in US dollars!

Gu Qingcheng gave Lin Fan a flirtatious smile, "Little brother, are you sure you want to compete with your big sister for this diamond?"

"Can't help it, my boss likes it, so I must have this diamond," Lin Fan shrugged casually.

"Do you think you can take this diamond from me?" Gu Qingcheng said arrogantly.

"You can try! If you dare to offer three hundred million, I'll offer four hundred million. If you dare to offer four hundred million, I'll offer five hundred million! I believe you wouldn't spend that much money on a diamond, right? As for me, it's the opposite, I have plenty of spare cash on hand! Comparing wealth? I might not be inferior to you!" Lin Fan's lips curled up, exuding dominance!
