The Domineering CEO, but a Crybaby! - Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Ten Billion in Value
He Shu lowered her head to look at her left hand resting on her thigh. In the palm of her upward-facing hand, there was another hand.
With this direct comparison, she found that Cen Qianyi’s hand was a size smaller than hers.
If she closed her palm, she could completely wrap her hand around hers.
This surprised her a little, as just looking at Cen Qianyi’s hand, her fingers were fair, slender, and didn’t look small at all.
But this wasn’t the most surprising thing at the moment. She refocused her attention on Cen Qianyi.
What did she mean by what she just said? Why did she want her to lead her?
And she just put her hand in her palm herself. Was this an act? What was she trying to act out?
He Shu was filled with questions, but under Cen Qianyi’s gaze, she still closed her palm and loosely held her hand.
Cen Qianyi must have her reasons… He Shu thought to herself. It was safer for her to just do as she was told.
Feeling her hand being held, Cen Qianyi looked down. He Shu’s fingers were covering hers, one by one. The warmth from her fingertips was very tangible.
If this hand kept ‘controlling’ her like this, Cen Qianyi thought to herself, then she would stay put tonight.
But if there was no ‘confirmation order’ by tomorrow, the people in the alliance would immediately know that she had failed.
She would probably become a laughingstock… But that wasn’t what Cen Qianyi cared about. After her failure, many people would definitely come and try to prove that they were better than her.
She looked up at the person under the spotlight. It was rare for her to hope that a person could live a little longer.
At least long enough for her to come back and find her.
If not for the bounty, she would still have to die.
On the podium, after Yao Bing had appeased the frightened guests, the banquet began to proceed as if the interlude just now had never happened.
But what everyone was really thinking was unknown.
On the surface, everyone accepted Yao Bing’s explanation.
Yao Bing was introducing how many charity projects the charity club she had founded had carried out over the years, how many people it had helped, and how many good reviews it had received. He Shu didn’t want to hear a single word. If she still believed that she was doing charity, she might as well believe that her nickname was Charity.
He Shu looked down at the food the staff had served her, her face a little hesitant.
Because she didn’t know what Cen Qianyi had done to her in the restroom, she was so worried that she didn’t have much of an appetite and had barely eaten anything. Then she was electrocuted, and to resist the pain, all of her muscles had tensed up, consuming too much energy.
Now she was a little hungry, and her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong?”
Cen Qianyi noticed that He Shu was looking down at the food in front of her without moving and asked softly.
He Shu looked up at her, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. She couldn’t tell Cen Qianyi that she was hungry and wanted to eat, but she was worried that it might be poisoned.
Cen Qianyi raised her eyebrows, understanding the meaning in He Shu’s eyes. This person was really bold when she was bold, and cautious when she was cautious.
She picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of the molecular cuisine made of who-knew-what. Under He Shu’s surprised gaze, she put it in her mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
“Eat. It’s not poisoned.”
He Shu swallowed nervously as the person swallowed. She didn’t expect Cen Qianyi to eat it and didn’t have time to stop her.
When she heard this, she was also very embarrassed.
“I wasn’t… I wasn’t asking you to test for poison.”
Cen Qianyi’s movements were too fast just now, and she didn’t have time to voice her suspicion.
Cen Qianyi: “Hmm.”
She knew.
How could a kind-hearted person like this ask someone else to test for poison?
He Shu didn’t know why, but after Cen Qianyi tasted it and said it wasn’t poisoned, she immediately felt relieved. She didn’t even ask her how she knew it wasn’t poisoned just by eating one bite. She just blindly believed her.
It was probably because she was so powerful in the original novel.
He Shu began to eat, eating one dish after another, trying to eat quickly to regain her strength.
Because she had another premonition, tonight would not be this peaceful… She had a feeling that something was going to happen. It was better to eat her fill, so she would have the strength to run if something happened.
While she was eating, she occasionally looked up at the stage. The banquet quickly entered the auction for charity section.
The items were all donated by the new members, and then they would bid on them themselves. It was a pointless exercise, just a way to show off their wealth.
He Shu treated it as a jewelry exhibition. Basically, everyone brought out valuable but not special jewelry.
It was the kind that was easy to appraise. The original owner had brought out a diamond bracelet, and He Shu bid for it.
If the situation wasn’t so wrong, she might have been excited about participating in an auction for the first time, but now she just wanted to get everything over with.
The staff brought the item He Shu had bid on to her.
He Shu opened the box, looked at it, and closed it. She casually handed it to Cen Qianyi beside her.
“This is for you.”
As a thank you for ‘testing the poison’ for her just now.
Cen Qianyi looked at the item in her hand, the corners of her eyes raised high. For her?
Eight million… just like that… for her?
If she hadn’t been there to watch this woman bid just now, she would have suspected it was some cheap item with the way she so casually gave it away.
This person… was really something. Cen Qianyi couldn’t find the right word.
He Shu didn’t know that her action had surprised Cen Qianyi. In her heart, Cen Qianyi wasn’t short of money. She also didn’t really have any feelings about money now… It came too easily, and it felt like looking at a string of numbers. When she was bidding just now, she didn’t even feel like she was spending her own money.
This bracelet wasn’t hers, so she didn’t feel any heartache at all.
He Shu continued to eat. Even though she had been eating for a long time, the food tonight was all a tiny bit, about the size of a ping-pong ball, on a huge plate… With this kind of food, she wouldn’t be full even if she ate for another hour.
Cen Qianyi looked at He Shu. After her initial surprise, her heart rate slowed down. In the end, she snorted in her heart and accepted the item.
Speaking of which, the unit of money for the order she had given up for her was in the hundreds of millions. This could barely be considered compensation.
She opened the box, took out the bracelet, and held it in her palm to look at it. She usually didn’t wear jewelry. It was inconvenient when she was ‘working,’ and things like diamonds, in her opinion, were just good-looking rocks that people had given meaning to.
Looking at it now, it was indeed very beautiful. Since the person gave it to her, she might as well wear it.
She put the bracelet back in the box and pushed the box back.
He Shu looked at the jewelry box that was back in front of her eyes and stopped eating.
Just as she thought Cen Qianyi didn’t want to accept it, she heard Cen Qianyi speak.
“Put it on me.”
As she said that, she pulled her hand out of He Shu’s palm and handed it over.
He Shu raised her eyebrows. So she didn’t not want it, she really liked it. It was quite a surprise. She thought a killer like her would prefer guns and knives and have little interest in these things.
Seeing that the person liked it so much that she wanted to put it on right away, He Shu felt a little proud in her heart. Did this count as giving a gift that the person really liked?
When this person came to settle the score with her in the future, it wouldn’t be too much to give her a little less punishment because of this bracelet, right?
She smiled and took Cen Qianyi’s hand, fastening the clasp for her.
Finally, she held her hand and looked at it from left to right. Although the bracelet was beautiful on its own, it wasn’t particularly eye-catching. But now that it was on Cen Qianyi’s hand, it was as if it had found the missing piece of its soul and suddenly became very attractive.
“It’s beautiful.”
He Shu finished speaking. Just as Cen Qianyi was about to open her mouth, the two of them heard a round of applause. They both looked in the direction of the sound and saw that what was being displayed on the screen was a crown. It looked like it had a history and was worth a fortune.
But in the end, it was auctioned off by Yao Bing for only five million, which was far below its actual value.
Yao Bing smiled and thanked Fu Hualuo, who had donated the crown. Anyone with eyes could see that she had specially brought this item to curry favor with Yao Bing.
So after Yao Bing called out the price, no one else bid.
They were all clever people and good actors. They saw that the item was given to Yao Bing and even asked her to try it on, saying that she had the aura of a queen.
He Shu scoffed in her heart. She didn’t have the aura of a queen. Speaking of that aura, she retracted her gaze and looked at Cen Qianyi, thinking of the scene when she shot her in the morning.
That aura was indeed very queenly.
He Shu lowered her head and continued to eat, missing the look that Yao Bing had just given her.
Yao Bing accepted the item, rejected everyone’s suggestion, and said with a smile that it was all for charity.
The implication was that she didn’t really like the crown, and Fu Hualuo was a little disappointed and heartbroken that the good thing she had gone to great lengths to find was useless.
After a small ripple, the boring auction continued. Ye Qi bid for a watch and handed it back to Nie Wenya.
The item was given by Nie Wenya, and the money was also from her. Ye Qi was just there to accompany her and cover for her identity.
Nie Wenya held the item and looked through the crowd to He Shu’s table. Just now, everyone was looking at the crown, but she was only looking at a bracelet.
She opened the box and held the watch in her palm.
Ye Qi saw the person looking down and wondered what she was thinking. She asked, “Are we leaving when it’s over?”
“Hmm.”
Nie Wenya’s matter was already handled. She hadn’t expected that the lead she had traced was Qin Mengyu, who had died on the island. The person was dead, and the lead was broken again. If this person hadn’t died before she came, she would have suspected that it was because of her.
After she took over the special case investigation department, she always encountered this kind of situation. She would trace a key lead, find the key person, but someone would always get to that person before her and get rid of them.
At first, she thought it was a coincidence, but there were too many such coincidences, and it was hard for her to believe it was a coincidence anymore.
After she went back, she had to thoroughly investigate what the commonalities were between these key leads who had died unexpectedly.
The auction was coming to an end. Yao Bing stood up and went back to the center of the stage, a hint of regret on her friendly face.
“I feel like the auction items from the new members this year are a bit boring. Everyone isn’t dedicated enough to the charity cause.”
Her words made everyone silent. Everyone looked at her, including He Shu, who was eating. She had a bad feeling about this start.
She didn’t expect the person to turn around and say that this year, she would make an exception and participate herself, bringing out some good things for everyone.
He Shu wasn’t interested. Seeing that it had nothing to do with her, she lowered her head and continued to eat.
While eating, she looked at the person next to her. Cen Qianyi was also eating.
Cen Qianyi was influenced by He Shu’s live eating show. It was really hard not to be tempted and not have an appetite when watching her eat.
She ate slowly. He Shu looked at her for a while and then looked away, under the table.
After putting on the bracelet just now, she continued to put her hand in her palm. Now she was eating with her right hand, so her left hand was free. He Shu didn’t quite understand why she was doing this. Was there something wrong with her hand?
She looked for a while but couldn’t see anything wrong.
Besides, if there was a problem with this hand, her hand wasn’t a healing device… She didn’t understand, but it didn’t affect He Shu’s eating. She was holding her left hand, and she was eating with her right hand.
Just as she scooped up a spoonful of soup, she suddenly heard a series of gasps.
She looked up, and her spoon almost fell into the bowl.
What Yao Bing had brought out was a batch of… firearms…
This was an item that was forbidden to be traded openly. How bold of her.
No wonder they had to hand over their phones…
Not only firearms, but there was also a photo of a large grassland on the screen. She explained that the person who bid on this batch of guns could arrange for them to go into the grassland and practice shooting with those animals…
Ye Qi gritted her teeth. That was a nature reserve. This person was so reckless. Nie Wenya told her to calm down, as they were still on the other person’s territory.
Nie Wenya’s eyes were cold. She looked at the person under the spotlight. Now she had a new lead. The appearance and function of this batch of firearms were the same as the ones in the arms smuggling case she had been investigating recently.
As soon as Yao Bing’s auction items came out, everyone except He Shu and Ye Qi’s tables became excited.
He Shu finally saw the kind of fierce competition she had seen in movies. One person would bid, and another would immediately follow.
In the end, this batch of items was auctioned off for a sky-high price. He Shu didn’t know the person who won the bid, but the thought of her going into the grassland to harm the animals in the photo on the screen made her feel very uncomfortable.
She couldn’t eat anymore.
“You want to save those animals? The simplest way is to kill that person.”
Cen Qianyi saw that she wasn’t eating anymore and leaned in, resting her head on her shoulder.
He Shu used to be very unwilling to hear Cen Qianyi talk about killing people so easily, but this time, she started to think about what she said.
It wasn’t that she agreed with the idea, but she found that she wasn’t wrong. It really seemed like the simplest method. But how could she kill someone… She still couldn’t accept it. The simplest method was not the best. They should still use the weapon of law to uphold justice.
At this moment, He Shu completely understood the protagonist’s beliefs and persistence in the original novel.
Where was this protagonist, Nie Wenya? Come here and see! There was a group of outlaws here who needed her to deal with them!
Cen Qianyi saw that she wasn’t speaking and didn’t continue. She had already discovered the person’s naivety in the restaurant. She tried to save people with peaceful methods but didn’t look at what kind of people the other party was.
Speaking of which, this was actually very strange. This person was nothing like the person she had found in her files.
The He Shu in the files shouldn’t be so naive.
She looked at the worried-looking He Shu. After a while, she let out a laugh in her heart. It didn’t matter who she was, or if she had multiple personalities. As long as she was this interesting, it was fine.
The last item was special, so it wasn’t given directly to the owner. Yao Bing promised to have it delivered directly to their home later.
After she finished speaking, she smiled: “I’ve brought out such good things. Shouldn’t everyone also bring out something interesting? The jewelry from before was really boring. I can tell that everyone didn’t bid wholeheartedly.”
The noise gradually receded. Everyone looked at Yao Bing with some confusion.
Did this mean that she wanted them to bring out more items to auction? And it sounded like they had to be good items.
Everyone was a little nervous, worried that the other party had taken a fancy to some important items they had. For a moment, no one responded.
Yao Bing continued: “Everyone has what they need from the previous items. Since we are destined to be in the same club, in the future, besides doing charity together, we should also help each other. Today is a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better and build some relationships. How about this, since everyone brought a companion to the island, why don’t we auction them?”
Fu Hualuo thought she was going to auction something else. She was just wondering if the other party had taken a fancy to someone’s mining rights or something. She didn’t expect it to be this.
This request was a real surprise, but after a moment of thought, she understood. She turned her head to look at He Shu.
She wasn’t the only one. Two or three other people also turned to look at He Shu.
Or rather, they were looking at Cen Qianyi beside her.
Meeting these gazes, He Shu’s heart suddenly sank. For a moment, she didn’t react.
Companion… the companion she brought to the island… She looked at Cen Qianyi, glad that she hadn’t been eating just now. Otherwise, she would definitely have choked!
No! What did she mean!
Companion, auction. A companion is a person!
“Since no one objects, let’s start with Ms. He, who is number one.”
As the words fell, a beam of light fell on He Shu and Cen Qianyi.
He Shu looked at the light that lit up on Cen Qianyi and only felt her vision go black.
These people were crazy. They were going to auction Cen Qianyi!
Cen Qianyi first had a blank look on her face. Gradually, she seemed to know what was happening. Her eyelashes trembled under the light, and after a while, her whole body started to tremble.
He Shu lowered her head to look at the trembling hand in her palm. The light fell on it, and the diamond bracelet on her hand flashed frequently as it trembled. He Shu suddenly thought of a piece of common knowledge. Diamonds were extremely hard stones. Don’t be fooled by the charming light they emitted now. They were not soft persimmons that could be easily squeezed…
She knew Cen Qianyi was faking being scared. She looked up at the person in the center of the stage, but that person was really asking for death.
Everyone’s eyes were on He Shu, waiting for her reaction.
He Shu was, of course, unwilling. Yao Bing also knew this, but that was what made it interesting.
Before He Shu could refuse, she smiled and continued: “Ms. He, you don’t want to be a party pooper, do you?”
He Shu wanted to open up the person’s head and see what kind of brain cells made her so suicidal.
Cen Qianyi had already let her go, but she was still rushing to her death.
He Shu’s mood was very complicated now. She hadn’t expected the plot to develop like this, but no matter what, she couldn’t give Cen Qianyi away like an item and let people bid on her.
If she did that, she would probably be the next one to die.
She gripped Cen Qianyi’s hand, first calming herself down.
Under the lights, He Shu became the center of attention. She tried her best to stay calm, leaning back in her chair, looking more at ease.
“I’m afraid I’ll disappoint Chairwoman Yao. I haven’t had enough fun with my person yet, so I don’t have the heart to share her for now.”
He Shu’s appearance actually had a very similar trait to Cen Qianyi’s, which was that it was very deceptive.
Cen Qianyi had the face of a little white flower. Just standing there and doing nothing, she had a lovable aura.
He Shu had a sharp and strong face. Sitting there without a smile, she had a certain authority, like a born superior. Her eyebrows and eyes had an aura that was not to be offended.
When she looked at people like this, it was easy for them to feel the urge to submit.
Ran Anni’s heart was thumping. This was the domineering CEO she had once fantasized about, who was decisive and strategic in the business world.
Ye Qi was also a little shocked. The He Shu she had seen in the past two days was either wearing pajamas or a bathrobe, and her behavior was not much different from hers. She had forgotten that she was a legitimate CEO.
Now that she saw the person suddenly become serious, Ye Qi had a feeling she couldn’t describe. It was as if she could see a little bit of her sister in her.
Cen Qianyi was probably the only person present who wasn’t fooled by He Shu. She lowered her head and looked at He Shu’s hand holding hers.
She was sweating a lot, and her palm was wet. She was holding her hand with a lot of force, and her fingernails were a little white.
Cen Qianyi was quite surprised. This person had just been electrocuted and was afraid that the other party would poison her, but now she was confronting the person directly and refuting her so bluntly.
She thought that the person had forgotten her fear, but it seemed that she hadn’t. She was still afraid, but even though she was afraid, she didn’t want to hand her over.
Thinking of this, Cen Qianyi’s eyelashes trembled slightly. Just as she was about to remind her softly, her hand was released in her sight.
Everyone’s eyes, after looking at He Shu, had already returned to Yao Bing, wanting to see her reaction after being rejected.
Yao Bing didn’t seem angry at all and still had her friendly look. Just as everyone was guessing if she would just give up, they suddenly heard He Shu speak.
“What do you mean by that, Chairwoman Yao?!”
He Shu gritted her teeth and raised her hand to knock on the table. Upon closer inspection, her fingers were twitching abnormally.
She was electrocuted! This person had electrocuted her without a word!
Yao Bing smiled: “Ms. He is young. Since I’m a little older than you, I can’t help but teach you some principles of how to treat people. Since we’re here to have fun, how can we be a party pooper?”
Bah! Who was the party pooper? How could being a party pooper be as much of a party pooper as her electrocuting people!
He Shu’s body was stiff, and her face had completely lost its composure from just now. Everyone quickly saw the abnormality and unconsciously covered their wrists. The painful memory of being electrocuted before was still fresh in their minds.
Ye Qi immediately stood up: “Is this how Chairwoman Yao treats her guests? And is the principle you want to teach forcing others to do something against their will?”
Yao Bing looked friendly: “How could that be? I never force people to do something against their will. I just think Ms. He is young and doesn’t understand some principles. I’m just putting in the effort to tell her. As for whether she listens or not, that’s up to her.”
This was truly shameless. She had already electrocuted her and started physically harming her, yet she still said it was up to the other person whether they listened or not. What else could she say? Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her body.
“You—”
As soon as the word came out, the pain became even stronger.
Nie Wenya lowered her voice to remind her: “Don’t speak. Sit down!”
He Shu saw Ye Qi’s wrinkled face and her heart sank. It was clear that the other party wasn’t going to reason with her!
The pain in her body intensified. The other party was clearly trying to increase the current little by little to make her give in.
Fu Hualuo hadn’t expected He Shu to be so stubborn. She thought for a moment and advised: “Ms. He, this is not a big deal. Don’t be a party pooper when we’re here to have fun. Besides, if you like her, you can just bid her back.”
Although she was a little gleeful before, seeing the person being electrocuted, she was also a little worried about being affected herself.
And the advice she hadn’t given before, she didn’t expect it to come true so soon. She had said that emotions like love shouldn’t be too externalized, as it could easily become a weakness.
However, she also didn’t expect that He Shu’s attitude toward her companion was even more caring than she had thought.
She was willing to offend Yao Bing and even not afraid of losing her life.
In that case, she looked at Cen Qianyi. She wanted to know even more what was so special about this woman that she could make He Shu so infatuated.
But she probably wouldn’t have a chance. She looked at Yao Bing. It was obvious that this person also wanted her.
Yao Bing hadn’t really wanted her at first. Although the person He Shu brought was indeed a heartthrob, the reason she wanted her so much now was only 50% Cen Qianyi herself and 50% He Shu.
There was no point in bullying a weakling. It was fun to make a stubborn person give in. Watching the other person’s sharp eyes gradually being replaced by pain, Yao Bing chuckled in her heart. Young people nowadays really needed some discipline.
He Shu couldn’t hold on much longer. The other party had clearly increased the current again. Although it wasn’t as painful as the time she was knocked down, it was already close to her limit.
She was biting down so hard on her jaw that she couldn’t even let out a miserable cry.
“Agree to her.”
Just as she was thinking about what to do, Cen Qianyi’s voice suddenly came from beside her.
She lowered her head to look. Cen Qianyi was also looking down. She couldn’t see her expression, but she saw that the air around Cen Qianyi was gradually condensing into the shape of a sharp dagger.
It had been so long since she had seen it that He Shu didn’t react at first. It was only when the air around her was filled with countless air blades that she was shocked. It was murderous intent!
Cen Qianyi lowered her eyelashes. Originally, she was just taking a job, and she had already promised He Shu tonight that she wouldn’t make a move.
But some people just wanted to die so badly.
“Ms. He, have you thought it through?”
Yao Bing spoke again. This time, after she spoke, Mia, who was standing to the side, also made a move, bringing people closer to He Shu.
It was clear that Yao Bing wasn’t going to wait any longer. This was a final ultimatum.
“If Ms. He has no objections, we’ll have the auction item go on stage for everyone to see.”
He Shu watched as Mia and the armed bodyguards got closer and closer to her. In her silence, she nodded.
Yao Bing smiled: “Ms. He, you’re a teachable person.”
The pain on He Shu’s body stopped. She watched as they took Cen Qianyi away. She held the item in her palm and watched as the person walked to the center of the stage.
A beam of light shone on Cen Qianyi. She had a look of panic and helplessness on her face, and her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.
He Shu lowered her head to look at the item in her palm. It was what Cen Qianyi had secretly given her before Mia and her people came over.
Looking at this familiar rabbit tail, He Shu frowned. She had clearly locked this thing in her safe… She didn’t know when Cen Qianyi had taken it out.
What was even more bizarre was that Cen Qianyi had said to her softly and quickly that it was a bomb…
She looked at the person on the stage. When did she turn this thing into a bomb?
After Cen Qianyi got on the stage, she just looked down at her feet, except for a panicked glance at the audience at the beginning.
Everyone thought she was scared, and the host continued with the proceedings.
Cen Qianyi waited for the proceedings to finish. Having nothing to do, she looked at the shoes on her feet. Generally, at banquets like this, ‘companions’ like her would willingly or unwillingly wear difficult-to-walk-in high heels to look more pleasant.
She had just seen it. Besides her, the other people with collars had heels that were all higher than hers.
The shoes on her feet had only a shallow heel, which made them very easy to walk in. He Shu had prepared them.
She said that if they encountered danger, these shoes would be easy to run in.
A hint of a smile flashed in Cen Qianyi’s lowered eyes. She wasn’t the one who was going to be running…
Although He Shu was extremely unwilling in her heart, she could only accept this outcome now.
She accepted this bizarre plot where Cen Qianyi had become an ‘auction item.’
The auction began, and everything seemed to return to a harmonious appearance.
He Shu was surprised by the acting skills of these people. At the same time, she also gained a new understanding of their morality.
Except for Ye Qi, almost all of them had no problem with auctioning off a companion and even enjoyed it.
They were all much more active than when they were auctioning off jewelry.
The starting price was one million, which was not low, but not high either. It was just average.
But soon, in less than a minute, it reached fifty million.
Fu Hualuo was surprised. It turned out that she wasn’t the only one who wanted to try out that woman named Cen Qianyi. The price had gone up to an unreasonable amount in just one minute. In her heart, no matter how beautiful a person was, they weren’t worth this price.
Anyone who bid on it would be a fool.
“One hundred million.”
He Shu doubled the price without a second thought. She didn’t care about the way others were looking at her. She was only looking at the person on the stage.
Watching Cen Qianyi being bid on by a group of people on the stage, she felt very uncomfortable. She shouldn’t be ‘humiliated’ like this.
But now, she could only join the ranks of this ‘humiliation.’ The simplest way now was to bid for her back.
He Shu’s heart was filled with bitterness. Before, she was angry that a person was being auctioned off as an item. Now, she was also participating because this was indeed the simplest method at the moment.
She suddenly remembered what Cen Qianyi had said to her before, ‘the simplest method.’ He Shu felt that somehow, some of her beliefs were slowly collapsing.
She was also using the ‘simplest method.’ She was even wondering if there would be a day when she would really kill one person to save another…
No, that shouldn’t happen!
He Shu put away these useless thoughts and looked around.
After she made her bid, the people around her fell silent, all looking at her as if she were crazy.
Yao Bing was also looking at He Shu. Seeing that the person cared so much, she found it even more interesting.
At this price, no one would follow. Everyone saw He Shu’s determination to bid for her back. Although a few people were originally a little interested, no one thought it was worth this price anymore. They even looked at He Shu with a complicated expression.
When the host asked for the last time if there was anyone else, only Yao Bing slowly raised her hand.
“One billion.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Ye Qi clenched her hands. Cheating! She understood. All this money was going to Yao Bing’s charity foundation anyway. If she bid one hundred billion or one trillion, it would still be like moving money from her left hand to her right.
She didn’t even have to move it! If she said she had made the payment, who could check her accounts? She was practically robbing Cen Qianyi!
She turned her head to look at He Shu and saw her lowered eyebrows and eyes, feeling a sense of pity.
He Shu also thought of this problem. She looked at the person in silence. Yao Bing could bid whatever she wanted. The money she bid was definitely real money that had to be paid.
The other party was bidding without any pressure. She guessed that no matter how much she bid, she could follow.
In that case…
“Ten billion.”
As these three words came out, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone looked at her as if she were a lunatic.
Cen Qianyi, who had been pretending to be scared, also looked up at He Shu.
He Shu’s face was very natural and she looked very calm. In fact, there weren’t many ripples in her heart. This money was just a number. It wasn’t money she had worked hard to earn, so she didn’t feel much heartache. Also, her company in the book wouldn’t go bankrupt, and she would soon have money again.
She looked at Cen Qianyi. Their eyes met, and she thought to herself, ‘I’ve done my best. This is all of the original owner’s net worth…’
Cen Qianyi looked at He Shu’s passionate eyes… and was a little stunned. She hadn’t expected that she was worth so much in her heart… She had just said that she was only worth 666 a month.
She curled her hand and touched the diamond bracelet on her other hand. The hard diamond tapped against her palm, and her heart seemed to have been tapped as well.
It didn’t hurt, but it left a small mark.
