Chapter 48

"Minghe Group, thirty thousand!"
"Jiangs Shun Group, fifty thousand!"
Although the host had already made it clear that this was just a replica, since it was provided by Director Liu, the corporate moguls below still raised their paddles to bid, all to give Director Liu some face.
"Fengyuan Group, eighty thousand!"
Very soon, someone called out eighty thousand, and at that moment, Chu Tianhe slowly raised his hand and calmly declared, "One million!"

Whoosh!
At the sound of that number, the entire hall fell utterly silent!
In an instant, every gaze was fixed on Chu Tianhe, and a wave of murmurs broke out!
"It's him again!"
"Is this guy here just to cause trouble?"
"Who exactly is he?"

"One million—has this guy lost his mind?"
Everyone knew that the replica was worthless; calling out seventy or eighty thousand was already doing Director Liu a favor. But now Chu Tianhe had gone straight to a million—how could they not be shocked?
"Brother-in-law, what are you…" Qin Xiaomeng was stunned, her face full of disbelief. She knew perfectly well that Chu Tianhe didn't have a million—he probably didn't even have a hundred!
To suddenly shout out such a high price left Qin Xiaomeng at a loss. Director Liu had just said that in previous years, the entire auction never added up to more than a few hundred thousand, and now Chu Tianhe had just called out a million. Wasn't this sabotaging the event?
"Mr. Chu, you…" Wu Tianhao's expression darkened as he frowned at Chu Tianhe, feeling that his bid was a bit much.
With such a high bid, how were the other business owners supposed to respond?
"What is it? Mr. Wu, are you not going to bid?" At that moment, Chu Tianhe turned his eyes to Wu Tianhao, a gleam flashing in his gaze as he said coldly, "Is it that you won't give Director Liu face? Or do you want to embarrass me on purpose?"
Chu Tianhe had already made it clear earlier—he had no money!
Now, if no one else bid, the item would fall to Chu Tianhe. When he couldn't pay, wouldn't he be humiliated?
"N-no, of course not." Wu Tianhao hurriedly waved his hand. "How could I dare embarrass you, Mr. Chu?"
Wu Tianhao was cursing his luck. Even if he were a fool, he now realized that Chu Tianhe was out to make things difficult for him.

But there was nothing Wu Tianhao could do—his family couldn't afford to offend this kind of person. He could only raise his hand and say, "One million, one hundred and ten thousand!"

Whoosh!
All discussion ceased; the entire banquet hall fell as silent as snow, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. In that instant, every gaze in the room was fixed on Wu Tianhao!
No one had expected Wu Tianhao to follow up with a bid!
"What just happened?"
"Mr. Wu… why is he still bidding?"
Just as everyone was reeling in shock, Chu Tianhe smiled faintly and spoke once more: "Five million."
