Ye Shaowen: âI have it!â
Ye Xian: âNo, you donât!â
Ye Shaowen: âI really do!â
Ye Xian: âI know you do, but we canât beat him, really!â
Ye Shaowen: âNonsenseâ¦â
Ye Xian covered his mouth with her hand, and at the same time, the auctioneer energetically counted down the last time, âOne billion for the third time!â
âSold!â
The hammer struck, and the whopping sum of one billion stunned everyone present.
The item was sold, the sale rights were transferred, a billion in cash, all completed within just a few minutes.
Bo Tingshen set down his teacup and stood up to leave.
Jiang Wanze and Luo Yuwei followed closely behind.
When Ye Xian sat down, feeling as if her heart had turned to ash, her glasses slid off her face onto the floor.
She instinctively covered the upper half of her face and bent down to pick them up, when unexpectedly⦠a shiny, jet-black leather shoe mercilessly stepped on her sunglasses.
The sunglasses were crushed into pieces, shattered beyond recognition.
She looked up slightly and saw only half of the manâs expressionless, stern face, fading from her view bit by bit.
â¦He snatched away my notebook and even crushed my sunglasses, itâs just too much. Why do I have to have a boss like you?!
In her sorrow, a slender, delicate hand picked up the broken glasses.
âIâm sorry for breaking your glasses.â
Luo Yuwei picked up her glasses with a gentle and contrite expression, handing them to her with a sincere and pitiable look that would soften anyoneâs heart to blame. Not to mention, it wasnât even her who had broken them.
âItâs alright, it has nothing to do with you.â
Ye Xian accepted the glasses, and as she took them off, her brows and eyes were inadvertently revealed. Luo Yuwei saw her eyes and was surprised.
Such beautiful eyes.
âIt is related, President Bo crushed them, itâs the same as if I did.â
Ye Xian: â?â
Luo Yuwei: âBecause we are together, shall I compensate you?â
âNo need, itâs just a pair of sunglasses, not worth much.â
Ye Xian: Youâre together, youâve already taken away my notebook, do you even care about these sunglasses?
âThank you then~â
Luo Yuwei gave her a slight smile, picked up her white dress, and swayed away.
After the three of them left, the venue started buzzing with whispered discussionsââImpossible to deny Star Entertainmentâs capability, casually throwing out a billionâ âTheir top-tier artist must make a billion with just two dramas, right?â âI really donât understand why President Bo spent so much to buy such an unknown scriptâ âThe perspectives of tycoons are different from ours, right?â âEh? Werenât those two in black at the auction acting as shills? Intentionally driving up the price?â âProbably, they didnât dare show their faces. We should be cautious with the next novel.â
Driving up the price?
Pah! I had my money all bagged up!
Ye Xian angrily pulled off the mask from her face and threw the broken sunglasses into the trash can.
Ye Shaowen discarded the number plate in his hand, puzzled, âXiao Yezi, you liked that script so much, why did you give up on bidding just now?â
Ye Xian: âIf I didnât give up, what then? Could we really outbid him?â
âWhy not? As long as I call a high enough price, I donât believe he will dare continue to raise the bid!â
âWhat wouldnât he dare? Heâs the Crown Prince of the Bo Consortium, the head of Star Entertainment. Is there anything he desires that he canât have?â
He even swallowed the Mu Familyâs private land worth over ten billion without hesitation, let alone a small script.
He wants it, itâs as simple as reaching into a bag. If thereâs anyone to blame, itâs her bad luck. Of all people, she had to confront him!
Ye Shaowen, angered, heavily punched the table, startling Ye Xian. She had failed to get the script, yet it seemed that her older brother was even angrier than she was.
