“Didn't I have the Bodyguard send her away? Why is she still in Linjiang City?”
Qin Tianming guessed that the second woman to bid was Yang Sining.
Because her voice was very easy to recognize; you only needed to hear it once to remember it.
“This is bad, why is she at the auction? And why is she bidding against me?!”
Ye Rou was a little curious.
Who is this person Tianming is talking about? Is she also a character from the novel?
“Sister, the longer you stay in Linjiang City, the more danger you'll be in.”
“And you're even trying to snatch Ye Fan's item. If that scoundrel sees you, he'll definitely have ill intentions towards you!”
“Even if you're a Villain, that walking Teddy won't let you off easily.”
“Most importantly, don't mess up my plans!”
The sudden appearance of a mysterious woman bidding for the jade pendant was already giving Qin Tianming a headache.
Now Yang Sining was causing trouble too; Qin Tianming had two headaches instead of one.
Zhao Yanran, also sitting in a private room, was a bit puzzled.
Aside from Ye Fan, no one would be interested in this jade pendant.
Qin Tianming and Ye Fan bidding for the jade pendant was entirely to draw hatred.
But now there was another woman bidding, which truly made Zhao Yanran unable to guess who this person was.
Anyway, it definitely wouldn't be someone Qin Tianming arranged.
After all, Qin Tianming was trying to accumulate hatred, not divert it.
However, the appearance of this extra person also made Zhao Yanran breathe a sigh of relief.
Her original intention was to reduce Qin Tianming's hatred in Ye Fan's heart.
Now that someone was helping her, Zhao Yanran was naturally overjoyed.
“Director Zhao, should we continue to raise the price?” the beautiful secretary asked.
“Not yet, wait until Ye Fan raises the price, then you call out,” Zhao Yanran said.
“Yes.”
Downstairs, Ye Fan, sitting in the auction hall, had a massive headache.
It was bad enough that Qin Tianming was competing with him for the jade pendant, but now there were two more women.
Ye Fan couldn't understand why, with his graceful demeanor, clear eyes and delicate brows, and heroic features, women would go against him.
Was it to deliberately attract his attention?
Women, you two have successfully caught my attention!
“Ye Fan, didn't you say that ordinary people couldn't see the efficacy of this jade pendant?”
“Why would anyone bid for it?” Lu Yongyi panicked.
He only brought six million this time.
And that six million was from him selling everything he had, plus a bank loan.
If he couldn't buy this jade pendant today, he would suffer a huge loss!
“We just need to raise the price a bit more, and they won't follow.”
“As for Qin Tianming, if he really wants this jade pendant, I'll raise the price of the jade pendant to the ceiling for him!” A fierce glint flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
Tonight, even if he couldn't get this jade pendant, he would make Qin Tianming bleed money!
“Three million,” Ye Fan called out loudly.
Zhao Yanran's secretary saw Ye Fan's bid and immediately raised the price: “Three million five hundred thousand.”
“Four million,” Yang Sining spoke out.
She was buying this jade pendant for Qin Tianming.
So, anyone who raised the price, except Qin Tianming, she would follow.
Yang Sining was not short on money; her annual dividends amounted to hundreds of millions.
By now, the money in her bank account was more than the entire net worth of most of the wealthy gentry present.
“What the hell! Are these two crazy? Why do they insist on going against the protagonist?”
“I'm the Villain, I'm the one who's supposed to draw hatred!”
Now, even if Qin Tianming called out a price, it would be useless.
He was drawing Ye Fan's hatred, not anyone else's.
Although he knew one of them was Yang Sining, he didn't know who the other woman was.
It couldn't possibly be Zhao Yanran, could it?
Zhao Yanran had specifically asked him earlier if he was coming.
Besides, the voice didn't sound like hers!
Just in case, Qin Tianming sent Zhao Yanran a text message.
“You didn't go to the auction, did you?”
“No, why?”
“Nothing, good night, mwah.”
Sigh, although your character setting is a bit broken, at least you're not causing me trouble right now.
“Ye Fan, it's almost five million, do you still want to raise the price?” Lu Yongyi asked.
This is not what you said!
Didn't you just say these two rich women were just casually bidding?
“Raise it! This time, they definitely won't follow!” Ye Fan's face was ashen.
“Four million five hundred thousand!” Ye Fan called out his bid for the third time.
The Auctioneer on stage was so excited he almost dropped the microphone.
A jade pendant that would have been difficult to sell for fifty thousand was now being bid up to four million five hundred thousand.
And the bids were coming from VIP guests on the second floor.
Four or five million was just a drop in the ocean in the eyes of their VIP guests.
“Five million.” The beautiful secretary followed the bid again.
“Six million.” Yang Sining also continued to call out.
“I just want to be a bad guy, why is it so hard?!”
“Could it be that my heroic display of humiliating Ye Fan just now made another woman fall for me?”
Qin Tianming's looks were not inferior to Ye Fan's.
Plus, as the Eldest Young Master of the Capital City Qin Family, the women who pursued him numbered in the five digits.
If Qin Tianming's reputation wasn't so bad, Zhao Yanran might also have been moved by him.
Putting aside his reputation.
The incident where Qin Tianming humiliated Ye Fan just now made everyone around him applaud.
To humiliate the person who was originally supposed to be the one doing the humiliating, what a wonderful thing!
Ye Rou looked at Qin Tianming, who seemed to have been played with, and felt distressed.
“Young Master Qin, perhaps you shouldn't bother with this jade pendant.”
“Six million is too expensive; it has already far exceeded the value of this jade pendant.”
“Ah, Rou Rou is so good! She knows how to be considerate of me.”
Ye Rou's face flushed. It was her first time being addressed so intimately.
Even her adoptive parents only called her Ye Rou.
“But your consideration is misplaced!”
“Forget it, you don't understand, and I don't blame you.”
No, I understand everything.
“Ye Rou, what this Young Master has said counts. I will definitely buy this jade pendant for you!” Qin Tianming regained his vitality.
“Young Master Qin, even if you buy it, I can't accept it,” Ye Rou shook her head.
“It's not like I'm giving it to you for free.” Qin Tianming gave a charming smile, then turned to look at her lecherously.
“Since I can't use the jade pendant to draw Ye Fan's hatred, then I'll use you.”
“Sorry, Ye Rou.”
Ye Rou's expression tightened, feeling a little scared.
“Young Master Qin, what do you want me to do for you?” Ye Rou pretended not to know anything.
“You're a senior this year, you'll be interning soon, right?” Qin Tianming asked.
“Yes,” Ye Rou nodded.
“I happen to need a secretary.” Qin Tianming took Ye Rou's hand and gently stroked the back of it.
Ye Rou's body stiffened, and a faint blush spread across her face.
“Young Master Qin, please respect yourself.” Ye Rou pulled her hand back.
“As for being your secretary, I'm definitely not suitable,” Ye Rou refused.
“No, if I say you're suitable, then you're suitable,” Qin Tianming said domineeringly.
“And I also know you're short on money.”
“As my secretary, you'll not only get a high salary but also that jade pendant.”
