Song Ziwen finally realized, Ren Feng is a scammer, an outright scammer, and the kind that feels like a bottomless pit, yet he foolishly jumped in.
For heaven's sake, he got tricked just like that and still had to be lectured by him, losing face entirely.
A billion isn't much to him; he can easily get a sum from the family, but once face is lost, it's hard to regain.
Song Ziwen was really furious, but at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I will pay for it."
"Oh." Ren Feng elongated his response, smiled, and nodded, "Mr. Song is truly Mr. Song, a gentleman indeed, outstanding and unique. It seems I've wronged Mr. Song, judging a gentleman with the heart of a scoundrel."
Ren Feng's words made Song Ziwen's face darken again. He snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
In the end, the porcelain was still bought by Song Ziwen for a billion.
After making the transaction, Ren Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Song on your victory. You must keep up the good work next!"
Song Ziwen's face twitched, responding coldly, "Thank you, Ren Feng, for your kindness."
Ren Feng cheerfully watched as Song Ziwen turned away with a grim expression, feeling immense satisfaction in the misery of his adversary.
As for the enemy, you scam if you can, scold if you can't, and fight if necessary—there are always ways to deal with them.
After the transaction was completed, Mr. Qi continued with the auction.
He composed himself from the excitement and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the second auction item is a painting—a landscape album by Ye Xin, a famous painter from the Qing Dynasty. This is an authentic piece with significant collectible value. The starting price is 500,000."
Everyone present did not rush to bid but instead looked towards Ren Feng and Song Ziwen.
With these two here, even if they wanted the item, they might not get it.
Ren Feng smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Mr. Song, this is an authentic piece. Aren't you interested? I'm giving you the chance to take the lead, Mr. Song; don't miss it."
Song Ziwen's face turned grim. This bastard really put him between a rock and a hard place.
"You're joking, Ren Feng. I'm not really fond of this piece. If you like it, feel free to take it."
"In that case, I won't refuse."
Ren Feng chuckled, and everyone watched him to see what price he would bid.
After clearing his throat, Ren Feng suddenly said, "I bid..."
Everyone watched him, and then they saw Ren Feng smile slightly and utter the remaining words: "600,000."
Thump!
People around nearly fell over, many twitched at the corners of their mouths. Damn, all this fuss and you bid such a small amount?
Are you teasing us?
Mr. Qi was also momentarily stunned, seemingly not reacting, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Don't look at me like that, everyone. It's charity; the amount isn't the main point. It's the thought that counts, right? If the heart is in the right place, less money isn't an issue. The main thing is everyone contributes; the more people, the bigger the impact, right? Don't worry, just bid." Ren Feng said with a smile.
Shameless, truly shameless!
But the executives around also breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, it wasn't too outrageous.
"800,000!"
Someone else continued to bid.
The price of the second item rose relatively slowly and was eventually taken by Liou Rumei for about 3 million.
Song Ziwen's face was now a bit gloomy and uncertain. After being messed around by Ren Feng earlier, he wasn't sure whether to continue competing with Ren Feng. But looking at the second item, it seemed like maybe he wasn't that rich?
Forget it; better let it go for now.
The third item quickly came up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this third item is a vase, a Song Dynasty craftwork of great value." Mr. Qi smiled and said, "It..."
"1 million!"
Before he finished, he was directly interrupted.
Everyone was surprised and looked at Ren Feng.
"Uh, don't look at me like that, everyone. I just think this item is nice, so I want to use it as a nightpot."
Ren Feng blinked.
Everyone around almost fell over again, and Mr. Qi's mouth twitched. This is a fine antique vase, yet you say you want to use it as a nightpot?
Ren Feng smiled as he said to Song Ziwen, "Mr. Song, do you want this item?"
"Since Ren Feng likes it, I won't interfere," Song Ziwen said with a smile.
Ren Feng nodded with a smile, "Mr. Song, you are indeed graceful, but if it's because you overspent earlier and don't have enough money, no need to be polite. I can cover for you first."
Everyone around twitched their mouths at this remark. This guy really knows how to hit where it hurts. Ren Feng looked at Mr. Qi, "Go ahead and quote the price; I want this item."
People initially wanted to bid, but Ren Feng directly named the price.
In the end, Ren Feng secured the piece for 3 million.
"Please transfer this item to Mr. Xia from the Flying Snow Group as her donation." Ren Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, little brother, you're taking such good care of your boss and not leaving any for me?" Liou Rumei said in a seemingly aggrieved tone, "Give big sister a share too."
Ren Feng glanced at Liou Rumei and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Rumei, there's a share for you too."
On Xia Wenxue's side, her expression didn't reveal any emotions; she showed no sign at all.
Mr. Qi, on the other hand, was quite pleased. The items auctioned today fetched quite high prices.
"Alright, up next is the fourth item..."
"1 million!"
Once again, before the words were fully spoken, he was directly interrupted.
Mr. Qi was astonished and looked at Ren Feng.
Everyone around was left speechless. For heaven's sake, what kind of behavior is this? The item hasn't even been revealed yet.
"No need to look; this item is mine." Ren Feng said with a smile, "I believe no one else here wants to compete with me, right?"
Mr. Qi twitched his mouth, "Sir, the starting price for this item is 1.5 million."
"Oh, that's simple. I'll add then, 3 million, the same as before." Ren Feng said calmly.
Mr. Qi was somewhat helpless, "Would you like to hear me introduce the item first?"
"What's there to introduce? I'm not buying it for myself anyway." Ren Feng said in surprise, "Consider it a donation from Mr. Liou."
Mr. Qi's face twitched; he could only remove the cloth strip, take a deep breath, and quickly said, "Genuine Jingde quality, genuine official seal, this item is exclusively donated by the cultural relic collection leader Mr. Jingde for use at our auction. Thank you for Mr. Jingde's strong support. For cultural relics collection, find Mr. Jingde for an honest transaction. This auction item is a Tang Dynasty official seal jade seal. Exquisite workmanship signifies official authority, with engraved characters of significant collectible value, starting at 1.5 million!"
After finishing, Mr. Qi took a big breath. Luckily, his eloquence from auction years was still intact; he wasn't embarrassed.
People around were stunned; many wanted it, but just as one person raised their hand, Ren Feng calmly said, "5 million."
Alright, with this, no one dared raise their hand.
The item was thus bought by Ren Feng.
The auction went quickly. With Ren Feng causing a commotion, the prices were significantly higher than usual, but he didn't act recklessly.
Soon it was break time; as Ren Feng saw Song Ziwen quietly leave, he smirked and, after saying a word to Liou Rumei and Xia Wenxue, followed him out.
