The tea party ended very quickly. The buyers returned to their seats to prepare for the third round of bids. However, after being speaking to Anna, everyone lacked motivation to continue. They only stayed for the sake of staying.
“Alright, once again, thank you for your supporting Thirty-Two Prefectures. Now, the third and final round of bidding will begin. Alright, let the countdown begin. Ten, nine…”
After Manager Lin finished the countdown, he began to announce the bids from all sides. “Mrs. Xia, 150 million yuan… Mrs. Xu, 140 million yuan… Ms. Qiao, 180 million yuan!”
Qiao Nian’s bid caused the crowd to be surprised. She was the focus of attention today, and everyone watched her every move. However, most people still did not believe that the unknown Qiao Nian would be able to fork out 180 million.
After crowd calmed, Manager Lin continued to bid, “Ms. Anna, 200 million yuan!”
Everyone quickly put Qiao Nian’s bid to the back of their minds. Even if everyone knew that Anna was the Qin family’s future daughter-in-law, that 200 million yuan would still have to come out of her pocket, right?
“Anna, no wonder Qin Yang said that the Eleventh Building is his wedding house. So, this is the reason!”
“Anna, is something good going to happen between you and Qin Yang? Please remember us when you send out the invitations!”
“It can’t be that serious, right? Why show off like this?” Of course, there were also those who were jealous and unconvinced.
Qiao Shi was the happiest when she saw this bid. She had already begun to look at Qiao Nian with contempt!
Just when everyone thought that the bids were over, Manager Lin announced another bid. “Mommy’s Good Boy, 300 million yuan!”
“It’s me!” Qin Geng stood up proudly albeit shyly. “I want to use my own money to buy a house for mommy.”
He took out a card from his small bag and said, “Come on, use this card!”
Then he turned to Qiao Nian and said, “Mommy, don’t thank me. I want to be like my sister and buy a house to give to you. This is what a son should do!”
Qin Geng was too happy! It was the first time he felt that the card that his father gave him was so useful.
The sharp-eyed onlookers had already noticed that the card that he took out seemed to be a black card issued by the World Bank! There were only ten cards like that in all of China!
Manager Lin was dumbstruck. Before he could even react, the auction assistant had already taken the card from Qin Geng.
The card was swiped on the machine, and the cold automated voice of the machine spoke. “Authorization limit, one billion yuan. Please confirm your purchase of 300 million yuan.”
The entire venue was quiet. Then, an uproar erupted.
What on Earth was going on with this boy who came out of nowhere? Everyone looked at him and then at Qiao Nian, their gazes gradually becoming puzzled.
“Stop, stop, Stop!” At this moment, Manager Lin was frazzled as he tried to control the crowd.
He looked at everyone apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, everyone. I still need to confirm who the final buyer of the group is.” After saying that, he put on the promotional video and rushed to the second floor.
Qin Yang, who was sitting on the second floor, deeply understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. This scheme, which was originally meant to trick Qiao Nian, actually cost him 300 million in the end!
He had originally only planned to give away a house, but now, he was going to spend 300 million to give it away! What kind of messed up situation was this? This was the craziest problem he had encountered since he started his business!
Qin Geng, this silly brat, did he think that money grew on trees? 300 million! 300 million was a huge amount! Did this kid understand what he was doing? When he got home, he would teach his son a lesson!
