Quick Transmigration: The Day I Blew Up My Housemate

2.5 CEO with a Tintin (5)

Every couple in the banquet was given a round fan with different numbers for them to bid with during the auction. The Li couple received the number 45.

The first item auctioned was a ruby diamond with a startling starting price of 100 000 USD. Feng Mian let out a low whistle at the rich's past time of wasting money. She herself was from a nouveau rich family, but her parents had her sent to boarding school since junior high to be independent, and her allowance only allows for three or four pairs of nice sneakers every year. The Feng couple had risen to their current status by the principle of hard work and taught their daughters to do the same. Although she knew that her parents do attend auctions, she had never accompanied them to one before.

Expensive hundreds of thousands worth of items were brought out and bids after bids were called out, each one higher than the previous. Hao Junlin maintained an uninterested face until one particular painting was brought out.

Edward Hopper's Chop Suey.

Hao Junlin stood straighter, his glinting eyes remained undeviating from the artwork under the veil. He wasn't the only one who was interested and several bidders have put out their price, raising it now to 200 000 USD.

Feng Mian saw his rare enthusiasm and thought that she wouldn't mind spending money."Do you want it?" she asked.

Hao Junlin looked at her, his brows furrowed. "It's a bit expensive," he said modestly.

"It's okay, it's only a bit. You're the legal wife, so my money is your money. And Li Xiaocheng's money is my money. Everyone's happy."

System 555: 'Are you not counting Li Xiaocheng as a person anymore?'

Feng Mian raised her fan, her momentum strong and fierce. "300 thousand!"

The crowd gasped. Their CEO just raised the price by 100 000 in one go. How domineering! How handsome! That's how a CEO should be!

"400 thousand!" Someone else raised the bid.

Everyone's head whipped to see the source of the voice. Who is this brave young man competing with their mighty CEO?

System 555: "The second male lead has made his entrance. He's Zhang Wei, your predestined rival Xiao Mei oh~"

Feng Mian is usually a free-spirited person who preferred staying out of trouble's way but the type who gets extremely competitive once she sets her eyes on something.

'You want to compete with daddy for money? Bring it on, let's see just how rich you are.'

System 555 expressed, 'It's not your money.'

"500 thousand!" Feng Mian shouted.

The second male lead wasn't going down without a fight either. "600 thousand!"

The value had gone way above its original price. The auctioneer began to sweat bullets, he felt that although the painting was rare, it wasn't worth 600 thousand. But these two rich personages wasn't someone he could offend.

Feng Mian's young blood soared. She grounded her teeth, "One. Million."

'This daddy's pocket is as deep as the South China sea. Let's see you if you dare walk out of here broke!'

The crowd broke out into loud excited whispers. Five times the original price oh!

Hao Junlin tugged onto Feng Mian' sleeve. "It's not worth one million." Though he was highly intrigued, that was an extravagant price to pay for just one painting. It's not like Leonardo da Vinci or Picasso painted it.

Zhang Wei stood up. He had been eyeing this painting for a long time and had come here specifically to buy it off, he hadn't really expected that someone would be willing to pay a million for it.
