He cursed inwardly, “Damn it, so you’re not the one paying the money!!”
Yang Hao smiled without a word, just silently watching Qin Feng.
Zhao Yuanyuan, who was live streaming, didn’t expect such a huge reversal in the plot either. She originally thought Yang Hao would keep on going!
After all, he just blurted out 10 million like it was nothing, not seeming like someone who’s strapped for cash.
However, now that Qin Feng had only added a million, Yang Hao stopped. Zhao Yuanyuan always felt something was off, but couldn’t quite figure it out for the moment.
However, the netizens in her live chat were once again blowing up.
“He’s backing out just like that?” Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
“What’s with this guy?”
“Do I sense a conspiracy here?”
“This guy must be a shill!!”
“Drove the price up and then he pulls out!”
“I knew it, Mr. Qin is badass!”
“Only the number one second-generation rich in Hucheng could spend 11 million on the rights to a private room!”
“Big bro backed down! Looks like the top rich second-gen of Hucheng is superior!”
“This guy is obviously playing games! He was so eager to raise the bid just to drive the price up, then when it hit 10 million and he saw Qin Feng hesitating, he stopped raising. And so Qin Feng became the sucker!”
“…”
The netizens were analyzing with sound reason, some already seeing through Yang Hao’s intentions.
“Mr. Qin, the finance department still hasn’t received your transfer.”
At this moment, Manager Wang said to Qin Feng as he moved closer.
Yang Hao’s money had already been received, but Qin Feng claimed he would pay 11 million, yet the money hadn’t arrived!
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and glanced at Yang Hao with furrowed brows, wanting to ask, “Are you doing this on purpose?”
But with Zhao Yuanyuan still live streaming, it wouldn’t be good to ask such a question in case the other party admitted to doing it purposefully.
Then wouldn’t his role as the poor sucker be solidified!
After hesitating a little, Qin Feng still transferred the money, since he was supposed to be “Hucheng’s top rich second-generation” after all, and he had to keep his word!
“Finance has confirmed the receipt of Mr. Qin’s money!”
Once the transaction was through, Manager Wang said cheerfully.
“Mr. Qin is mighty!”
“Our Mr. Qin is so rich!”
Qin Feng’s two flatterers immediately started to heap praises on him.
However, at this moment, Qin Feng didn’t feel any joy of victory, but a sense of suffocation in his chest.
In fact, he had been closely observing Yang Hao’s reactions, and after he had completed the transfer, he noticed a distinct upward curve at the corner of Yang Hao’s mouth.
This subtle movement seemed to confirm his suspicions that he had been tricked!
Could it be that he and this establishment were in cahoots??
A big question mark popped up in Qin Feng’s mind!
But he had no way of asking about it at the moment.
However, no matter what, his persona as the number one rich second-gen of Hucheng had been preserved.
And there was still the beauty!
With that thought, Qin Feng’s gaze instinctively fell upon Zhou Ziqing, and he smiled, “Beauty, I’ve won, so you should join me for dinner, right?”
“I never agreed to that!”
Zhou Ziqing decisively shook her head, “And I’m not some kind of bargaining chip!”
“Eh?”
Seeing Zhou Ziqing’s response, Qin Feng frowned immediately, then looked at Yang Hao, “Bro, shouldn’t we keep our word?”
“Since I’ve won, she should stay and have dinner with me!”
Qin Feng felt he needed to address this with Yang Hao, and as a victor at that.
Yang Hao shook his head with a smile, “I can’t make decisions for others!”
“I never agreed to that either. You’re the one who unilaterally decided that!”
“Whether Ziqing wants to stay and have dinner with you is her own matter, her decision. As she said, she’s not a bargaining chip, and with whom she dines is her freedom!”
After finishing his words, Yang Hao casually shrugged and pointed upstairs, “Now the private room is yours.”
“Bought for 11 million, you should hurry up and have your meal!”
“This…”
Qin Feng’s brows immediately twisted into knots, recalling that neither Yang Hao nor Zhou Ziqing had indeed promised to have the meal.
He had just wishfully thought that if he could win in this PK, Zhou Ziqing would certainly stay.
After all, most women are attracted to the successful!
It only made sense for Ziqing to stay after he had defeated Yang Hao!
But to his surprise, even after he had spent 11 million to buy the rights to the private room, Zhou Ziqing still showed no intention of staying.
Which meant that this beauty was not at all interested in money, at least from her current behavior!
“Beauty, what do you think?”
“Our Mr. Qin spent 11 million to buy the rights to the private room. Can’t you stay for a meal and give him this face?”
At this moment, Pink Hair jumped out again.
As he spoke, he also took a step towards Zhou Ziqing, looking as if he would not let her leave if she did not stay.
Seeing this, Ye Tingting was not about to show any weakness as she stepped forward with her hands on her hips, pursing her lips, “What now, you won’t let us leave?”
“Hucheng’s richest second-generation is so overbearing, huh!”
“And besides, you have people livestreaming, right? Are you planning to showcase the kidnapping of ordinary women on live broadcast?”
“What era are we in, trying to play the gangster, huh!!”
Ye Tingting’s voice was loud, not only could everyone present hear her, but her rant was also clearly heard by the netizens in Zhao Yuanyuan’s live broadcast room.
“The lady is right, you can’t force people!”
“Anyway, if someone spent 11 million for me, I would definitely stay!”
“Forget 11 million, if someone spent 1 million on me, that’s enough!”
“No, no, 500 thousand for me is fine!”
“I’d settle for 300 thousand!”
“Are you all so competitive? Even this kind of thing can be snatched away! Alright, alright, I would stay for 100 thousand!”
“You are all missing the point. It’s not about the money, but about the lady’s will. If she doesn’t want to stay, what does Mr. Qin spending a billion have to do with her?”
“Right, how many years has it been since our country was founded? We are not in feudal times anymore, we women have stood up, okay! It’s not like having money means you can do whatever you want, thumbs up to the beauty!!”
“…”
Netizens in the live broadcast room started discussing with enthusiasm, some were mocking while others elevated the event to a matter of women’s rights.
However, at that moment.
A few more people entered “Hushang Family”. These people were dressed fashionably, and the person leading them was a middle-aged man in his early forties. The other men and women were following to his left and right, forming a flanking retinue.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Qin Feng was first taken aback, then a smile spread across his face as he went up to greet, “Director Wu, what a coincidence to see you here!”
The middle-aged man at the forefront was Wu Dehai.
Those flanking him included executives from Maetian Entertainment, as well as people from internet celebrity incubator companies and other media corporations.
Naturally, these people were here to dine, though it also counted as a business social event.
However, Wu Dehai did not expect to encounter his own boss here.
He first nodded and greeted Qin Feng who had come up to him, then strode energetically towards Yang Hao.
With a face full of smiles and under everyone’s gaze, he greeted obsequiously, “Director Yang, what a coincidence!”
“What brings you here?”
Yang Hao had not expected to run into Wu Dehai here either. He nodded slightly and pointed to Ye Tingting and Zhou Ziqing at his side, “Came over for a meal.”
Wu Dehai, of course, also saw Ye Tingting and Zhou Ziqing and greeted them before saying cheerfully to Yang Hao, “If Director Yang doesn’t mind, why don’t we join you?”
Yang Hao shook his head, “No, we are just about to change locations.”
As the losing party, Yang Hao still had the “sense” to prepare to leave and make room for Qin Feng.
“Uh…”
Wu Dehai paused, then said with a smile, “Director Yang, since we’ve met by chance, let’s consider it fate! I actually had some work to report to you as well!”
Hearing the conversation between Wu Dehai and Yang Hao, Qin Feng and the others, including Pink Hair, were dumbfounded.
They recognized Wu Dehai, but judging from the current situation, it appeared the general manager of Maetian Entertainment was indeed fawning over Yang Hao.
That made things quite interesting!
