Chapter 167 Decided to take action personally
In this circle, no one wants to create unnecessary grudges because of an auction, unless they are already hostile to each other.
Zhao Ziqing didn't dare let Lin Fan raise the price at will anymore, so she decided to do it herself, and her several bids were quite decisive.
However, nothing has come along so far that has truly impressed her.
With the one-hour break coming, the auction came to a temporary end.
The fat woman cast a sharp look towards Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing, obviously preparing for her "revenge" plan in the second half.
At this moment, the venue was more like a social occasion, and many people walked towards Zhao Ziqing and had cordial conversations with her.
An auction is actually also a social feast.
Many people come here not only to bid, but also to expand their network and find business opportunities.
Reminiscing with old friends and making some new friends may spark new cooperation and open up new business channels.
In recent years, Zhao's rapid rise has attracted attention from the industry, making people wary but also attracting many people seeking cooperation.
Zhao Ziqing is naturally open to cooperation opportunities that come to him.
"Zhao Ziqing, I knew I would meet you here tonight."
A young man wearing designer clothes walked over with a smile.
"Is there anything you want? I'll give it to you," he said generously.
"Thank you, but I can buy it myself." Zhao Ziqing responded indifferently.
Lin Fan looked at the young man and thought to himself, is this another suitor?
"Don't be polite with me." The young man tried to get closer to him and said with a smile.
"We are not familiar with each other, so let's keep some distance." There was a hint of coldness in Zhao Ziqing's voice, and it was obvious that she did not intend to give the other party too much face.
The young man's smile suddenly became stiff, but Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Who is this friend? Would you like to introduce him?" The young man noticed Lin Fan's laughter and frowned slightly, but in front of Zhao Ziqing, he still tried to maintain his demeanor.
"He is my boyfriend, Lin Fan." Zhao Ziqing glanced at Lin Fan and introduced him frankly.
The young man's face suddenly darkened. She actually has a boyfriend?
Lin Fan's eyes widened, secretly delighted. She actually admitted her identity in front of so many people? Was this the magic of that kiss today? She would never do this before!
"I'm Zhou Xin from Gangcheng. I wonder what industry Mr. Lin is in and which company he works for?" The young man tried to calm down and asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, I actually don't do anything. I just rely on our President Zhao for support." Lin Fan answered with a smile.
"If I have to say my profession, then I am... a professional gigolo," he joked.
When the young man heard this, his face twitched involuntarily. Living off a gigolo? He had never seen anyone talk about living off a gigolo so confidently!
Zhao Ziqing was also a little speechless. She glared at Lin Fan and explained, "He was joking. He is actually the vice president of Zhao Corporation."
"Oh? Then it seems that he is indeed supported by you." The young man showed a hint of sarcasm. A man who depends on a woman has no competitiveness for him at all! A woman like Zhao Ziqing is only worthy of a wealthy man like him!
"I'm willing to support him, but you're not qualified." Zhao Ziqing's face turned cold and he retorted bluntly.
The young man's smile froze on his face again. Is this still the Zhao Ziqing he knew before?
"Did you hear that? This is what they call 'eating free food'." Lin Fan said proudly, "You want to eat, but you can't."
"Zhao Ziqing, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just feel that he really doesn't deserve you." The young man didn't want to bother with Lin Fan anymore. He thought she was just a gigolo and not worth his attention at all.
"I'm here on behalf of the Zhou Group to discuss cooperation with you." He changed the subject.
"When discussing cooperation, just follow the company's procedures." After Zhao Ziqing said this, he said hello to others and returned to his seat.
"Boy, you'd better stay away from her. You are not worthy of Zhao Ziqing at all." As soon as Zhao Ziqing left, the young man took off his disguise and said coldly to Lin Fan.
"Do you know why she doesn't like you but likes me?" Lin Fan asked back.
"Why?" The young man frowned in confusion.
"Because I'm more handsome than you." Lin Fan said with a playful smile, "Not everyone can afford to be a gigolo."
"You..." The young man was furious and almost wanted to hit Lin Fan.
"The proprietress of Guirenfang has a serious feud with Mr. Zhao. If I were you, I would definitely side with Mr. Zhao and teach that old woman a lesson. What's the point of just saying 'I like you'? Mr. Zhao isn't the type of girl to be easily fooled by sweet talk."
After Lin Fan said this, he turned back to Zhao Ziqing. Soon, the second half of the auction began.
The fat woman returned to the venue with a sneer on her face. She was determined to make Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing pay the price. First, she would make them bleed financially, and then after the auction, she would find an opportunity to make Lin Fan feel the pain of a broken leg! If you dare to speak rudely to her, you must bear the consequences!
At this moment, a sparkling diamond brooch caught Zhao Ziqing's attention.
"Want it? Then I'll take a picture and give it to you." Lin Fan said to Zhao Ziqing.
"No, I can buy it myself." Zhao Ziqing shook her head slightly.
"Hey, you don't even accept gifts from other men, so you won't accept my gift either?" Lin Fan pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay, I'll take it." Seeing that he was so persistent, Zhao Ziqing had no choice but to compromise.
"I'll offer five million." Lin Fan raised his hand and raised the price by one hundred thousand.
"Five million one hundred and fifty thousand."
"Five million two hundred thousand."
The bidding continued to rise and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"Five and a half million." Zhou Xin joined the bidding, his eyes fixed on Zhao Ziqing.
"I plan to buy this brooch and give it to Mr. Zhao."
"What a coincidence, that's exactly what I was thinking." Lin Fan smiled slightly, not showing any weakness.
"I'll pay six million!"
"I offer seven million!" The fat woman couldn't wait to raise the price before Zhou Xin responded.
The bidding is so fierce, if not now, when will you raise the price?
"Seven million, one hundred thousand!" Zhou Xin frowned. He hadn't intended to argue with Lin Fan, but now the situation was different. This old woman had joined in the fun too. How annoying!
"Don't raise the price anymore." Zhao Ziqing was worried that Lin Fan would continue to raise the price, so she whispered, "This price has already exceeded the actual value."
"The value of some things cannot be measured by money. I'll offer 10 million!" Lin Fan said with a smile and raised his hand to increase the price again.
After hearing Lin Fan's offer, Zhou Xin frowned even more.
