Chapter 172 Who Would Still Care
Even the usually gentle and knowledgeable leaders couldn't help but gasp in amazement. To them, the words "Oh my god" best expressed their inner shock.
"The Tear of the Goddess was sold for a billion. How much is this big diamond worth? It's twice as much as the Tear of the Goddess!"
"Could it be two billion?"
"It shouldn't be that high, but it should be worth at least 1.5 billion."
“This is absolutely a peerless pink diamond and will set a new auction record!”
As people were discussing the matter, representatives from major brands pulled out their phones to report to headquarters. Soon, they received a reply: As long as the price did not exceed 2 billion, they would try their best to get the diamond.
Even Zhou Xin's father gave the same instructions, which made Zhou Xin feel very embarrassed and unwilling. Asking him to go to that guy who eats soft rice to buy it? This is simply trampling on his dignity!
Zhao Ziqing couldn't keep her composure anymore. She wasn't surprised by the pink diamond's authenticity, but rather where on earth had Lin Fan gotten such a precious diamond? Did it really just fall from the sky? This man seemed to be hiding so many unknown secrets!
Not long after, Liu Dawang carefully handed the pink diamond back to Lin Fan. Lin Fan casually took the diamond, tossing it in his hands a few times, as if he was holding not a priceless pink diamond, but just an ordinary stone.
"What was the result?" Liu Dawang watched Lin Fan's casual movements, feeling a surge of nervousness. Although diamonds were one of the hardest substances in the world, what if something unexpected happened?
"It's true." As soon as Liu Dawang finished speaking, the crowd erupted in excitement. Although everyone had expected this, hearing the confirmed news in person still left them feeling incredibly shocked.
Zhang Guilan's obese body swayed slightly, and her vision went dark. In just a few minutes, she had already lost hundreds of millions in assets. The price of the Goddess's Tear at auction again might not even reach the previous starting price! The title of "largest pink diamond" had changed hands, and its value had plummeted.
"Haha." Lin Fan smiled as he re-examined the storage ring in his hand. He began to realize that each of the treasures in the ring was likely priceless. Compared to that, those dozens of tons of gold were probably nothing.
Lin Fan stepped down from the stage and handed the dazzling pink diamond to Zhao Ziqing. "This is for you." A burst of exclamations echoed throughout the audience. "He really gave the pink diamond to Zhao Ziqing? Isn't that incredibly generous?"
"Isn't he said to be a gigolo? He is simply a super rich man!" "If someone gives me such a big pink diamond, I will marry him immediately!" A wealthy woman's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"..." The person next to her looked at her with a twitching mouth and thought: Sister, you are over 50 years old!
Zhao Ziqing's heart raced as she gazed at the pink diamond in Lin Fan's hand. He'd previously gifted her an emerald worth a fortune, and now he'd given her another diamond worth a fortune... Who could possibly resist this man's charm?
"Take it and don't mention giving me money." Lin Fan said as he gently took Zhao Ziqing's hand and placed the dazzling pink diamond in her palm.
"It's yours now."
Zhao Ziqing held the heavy diamond in her hand and nodded slightly, saying, "Well, I'll take it."
Lin Fan smiled softly, musing playfully: kissing truly brings people closer. Before today, she would have probably declined this generous gift. Accepting it meant she considered him one of her own. It seemed he'd have to find more opportunities to kiss her in the future.
He turned to Zhou Xin and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Master Zhou, you should learn to be more generous and stop being so stingy when pursuing girls."
"It's just a small sum of more than a billion."
Zhou Xin stared at him angrily, but could no longer call him a "giant rice man." After all, how could someone who casually gave away over a billion in gifts be a gigolo? He himself didn't have the financial resources to do so, and even if he did, he wouldn't be willing to squander them.
Lin Fan turned to Zhang Guilan again and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh, by the way, congratulations to Mr. Zhang for capturing the picture of Tears of the Goddess. You really have good taste."
Zhang Guilan was so angry that she couldn't breathe, her eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint. The muscular man was so scared that he hurried to calm her down and even performed artificial respiration, fearing that something might happen to this financial sponsor.
"Bastard, I... I will never forgive you!" Zhang Guilan caught her breath, pointed at Lin Fan with trembling fingers, and swore with gritted teeth.
Lin Fan curled his lips in disdain and turned to the auctioneer, saying, "Sorry for delaying the auction. Please continue."
The auction finally ended.
Many people gathered around Zhao Ziqing, hoping to pay a high price for the large Goddess's Tear she was holding. However, Zhao Ziqing politely declined each offer. This was a gift from Lin Fan, so how could she possibly sell it? Even if it was just an ordinary stone, she would treasure it.
"Hey, everyone, listen to me. Large-sized Goddess Tears are not for sale," Lin Fan said loudly. "But you can go to Mr. Zhang to buy Goddess Tears. I guarantee that Mr. Zhang will be happy to sell them."
"Now that it's no longer the world's largest pink diamond, who would still want it?"
"Forget ten billion, I wouldn't even buy it for five hundred million."
"If it's 300 million, I might consider it. Mr. Zhang, are you willing to sell it for 300 million?"
These words nearly made Zhang Guilan faint again. Three hundred million? That was a threat to her life! Her hatred for Lin Fan deepened, and she wished she could tear him into pieces.
"It's time for us to go." Zhao Ziqing said to Lin Fan.
"Okay." Lin Fan nodded and extended his arm. Zhao Ziqing naturally took his arm, and under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two walked away side by side. Zhou Xin watched their backs, jealousy burning in his heart. Why wasn't he the one holding Lin Fan's arm?
He thought for a moment and walked towards Zhang Guilan: "Boss Zhang, are you just going to let it go?"
"Forget it? He made me lose so much, I won't let him go easily." Zhang Guilan said viciously.
"Master Zhou, how about we join forces to deal with him?"
"How to cooperate?"
"Let's attack Zhao's company together and split the profits equally!" Zhang Guilan said to Zhou Xin, "Once Zhao's company collapses, what will Zhao Ziqing have left to show off in front of you? By then, she'll definitely throw herself into your arms."
"This..." Zhou Xin hesitated.
"If you're worried about offending Zhao Ziqing, you can hide behind the scenes and provide me with financial support. I'll do the bad things," Zhang Guilan added. "When she gets into trouble, you can help her. Won't she be so grateful to you then? She'll definitely throw herself into your arms."
Hearing this, Zhou Xin was moved: "Okay, I agree to cooperate!"
"It's a pleasure to work with you. We'll discuss the details later. I have something to do now, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Zhang Guilan was about to leave.
