Chapter 62: Extremely Hurtful and insulting

Lin Bai did not even raise his head and said, “Let them take as many pictures as they want.”
He could guess what those people would do after taking the pictures, but he did not care.
Luo Yang noticed that Lin Bai did not care, so he could not say anything more. He could only silently glare at those people, hoping that they would restrain themselves a little.
However, these businessmen who had been in the jade industry for many years had already trained their faces to be as tough as iron walls.
Luo Yang’s warning gaze had no effect on them at all.
They were still in high spirits and were mocking them.
Lin Bai filled out the bidding form and stood up to say to Luo Yang, “Let’s go, we can go back.”
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment and asked, “Aren’t you going to look at anything else?”
“No, I’m looking for this piece of material.”Lin Bai said.
Luo Yang was a little speechless. He thought to himself, ‘Did Boss come all the way here just to spend a large amount of money to bid for this piece of material that he can’t see through?’
However, he immediately denied this idea.
Luo Yang felt that no matter how powerful Lin Bai was, it was impossible for him to predict the future and to already know that there would be such a piece of raw material at the public emporium before he arrived.
He guessed that Lin Bai was just annoyed by the surrounding spectators and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so he casually made an excuse.
“Well, I just finished shopping. Let’s go back.”
Luo Yang thought that he understood Lin Bai’s feelings very well, so he said so.
After the two of them left, they strolled around the nearby scenic spots and went to the night market to taste the local specialty snacks. It was not a wasted trip.
The next day, Lin Bai got up early and tidied up. He sat by the French window and enjoyed the breakfast provided by the hotel.
Luo Yang climbed out of bed in a daze with messy hair. He wandered over to take a look.
“Hey, the breakfast is quite sumptuous. A star-rated hotel is indeed different.”
“Oh right, where are we going to play today?”
Lin Bai replied indifferently, “We’re still going to the public emporium. The bid for the material that was thrown in yesterday will be opened today.”
Luo Yang immediately lost his composure.
“F*ck, the bid will be opened today? So soon?”
Lin Bai said, “Not that soon. It has already been displayed for a few days. Yesterday was the last day. The bid will be revealed after the exhibition is over.”
As he said this, Lin Bai secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Fortunately, he had always been cautious and had flown over a day earlier.
Otherwise, if he had just flown over to the auction on the day of the news, he would have to watch the other party become rich overnight.
Therefore, it was important to understand the rules clearly. It was also very important to do what needed to be done as early as possible.
Ever since Luo Yang heard the news of today’s bid opening, he had been on tenterhooks. He kept muttering under his breath, “This is too fast. How can it be so fast…”
Yesterday, he had gone crazy eating and playing around. He deliberately did not think about the bid in order to prevent himself from being anxious.
The current him felt like he was about to get his results after an exam. He could not help but feel anxious and nervous.
After all, he had put everything he had on the line. He really couldn’t be as calm as Lin Bai.
Looking at his nervous and anxious appearance, Lin Bai couldn’t help but laugh. He comforted him, “Don’t be so worried. Believe me, it will definitely be a good result.”
Luo Yang nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes. I’ll be relying on your good wishes.”
Although he said that, the anxiety in his heart didn’t lessen by much.
Lin Bai knew that he would probably be like this until the results were out.
Therefore, Lin Bai did not care about him.
When they were done packing and rushed to the public emporium, it was time for the bid to open.
The organizers announced the prices one by one according to the order of the numbers of the raw jade materials, as well as the winning bidder’s number.
At the same time, the big screen in the venue kept rolling and broadcasting the opening bid information.
Some people were gleeful while others were sad.
Some people bought the jade materials they liked at an extremely low price and cheered excitedly.
There were also some people who missed out on the best raw jade materials because of a little difference in price and kept sighing in frustration.
In such an atmosphere, Luo Yang, who was already very nervous, could not help but become even more anxious.
He lowered his voice and said to Lin Bai beside him, “Boss, do you think we can win the bid?”
Lin Bai answered confidently, “Definitely.”
With the super cheating device, the Future News app, in hand, if they still could not buy that top-quality imperial jade, it would be a little unjustifiable.
Luo Yang nodded hard. “Boss, I’m relieved to hear that. You’re definitely right. I believe you.”
As he spoke, the organizer read out the bid number of the stone.
Luo Yang immediately shut up and listened to the announcement on the stage.
“Jadeite Stone 003894, the winning bid is…”
When the organizer read until here, he suddenly paused.
Obviously, he did not expect that someone would actually bid such a number.
However, the organizer was, after all, experienced and knowledgeable. He quickly suppressed his emotions and read it out as usual.
“Jadeite Stone 003894, the winning bid price is 300 million and one yuan.”
“The winning bid is from bidder 934747, Mr. Lin.”
Before he finished his sentence, a heart-wrenching shout came from the crowd.
“Just one more yuan!”
“Why did I miss the bid by just one more yuan!?!”
That person shouted until his voice was hoarse, as if he had lost the whole world.
The others were baffled, but only Lin Bai knew it clearly.
The person who shouted was the original bidder in the news.
He should have used 300 million to buy the jade raw material that could produce the best Emperor Green.
But now, Lin Bai had used 300 million and 1 yuan to take away everything that belonged to him.
If Lin Bai had offered tens of millions more than him, that person would probably accept the result.
Since it was a bidding war, the one who offered the highest price should get it.
He had offered less than others, so it was normal for him to not be able to buy the thing he liked. He would not be too emotional.
However, Lin Bai had only offered one yuan more than him. This was unacceptable.
Lin Bai’s actions were extremely hurtful and insulting.
Therefore, Lin Bai could now understand why the little boss had lost his composure.
The little boss was almost obsessed. He kept muttering, “Why can’t I add two more yuan!”
“If only I bid 300 million and two more yuan! If I add two more yuan, that material will be mine!”
When the people around heard this, they basically understood what was going on.
It had already spread in their circle. Everyone knew that yesterday, a fool had bid 300 million and one more yuan for the material that they did not dare to touch.
At that time, they were still laughing crazily. Lin Bai had specially rewritten the form just to add one more yuan. They said that this kind of behavior was simply insane.
But now they suspected they were the ones who were insane!
