Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1551 - 1525: Su Wanyi’s Anger
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
The second auction item is a porcelain vase, starting bid at 800,000.
Su Wanyi looked at Ye Chen and said.
"I think this vase is nice, you can bid for it."
"1.6 million."
Ye Chen stood up with a smile and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Ye Chen.
Some people gave Ye Chen a slight smile,
Of course, some smiles were not friendly, like those from Xu Kai and Zhou Jun.
"Young Master Xu, I think this vase is nice, what do you think?"
Zhou Jun glanced at Xu Kai beside him and said.
"I also think it’s quite nice, just what I like."
Xu Kai said with a smile.
Then he looked at his girlfriend beside him and said.
"You bid."
Zhang Shuang nodded with a smile, stood up, and said.
"I bid three million."
Ye Chen was surprised upon hearing this.
Su Wanyi saw Ye Chen’s expression and obviously knew he must know this woman; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such an expression.
"Ye Chen, you continue to bid."
"Wanyi, I think let’s leave it at that. This vase is worth this much money, and anymore isn’t worth it."
Ye Chen shook his head and said.
He felt there was no need to confront a girl.
Su Wanyi knew Ye Chen wasn’t bothered by the price, but because of the girl who had just bid.
"Ye Chen, do you know this girl?"
Upon hearing Su Wanyi’s question, Ye Chen honestly said.
"This Zhang Shuang was my first girlfriend in middle school, but we haven’t been in touch for a long time."
Su Wanyi laughed after hearing this.
"Ye Chen, since you are strangers now, what is there to worry about? Keep bidding."
Ye Chen still shook his head.
"Forget it, since she likes this vase, we should let her have it."
"Ye Chen, I’m determined to get this vase."
Su Wanyi said imposing as she stood up.
"Six million."
Firstly, she couldn’t stand Ye Chen showing leniency because of a first love, and secondly, she noticed Zhou Jun beside the girl smiling at her.
This made Su Wanyi very angry.
Su Wanyi looked like a queen of aura.
Everyone gasped.
Oh my God, such boldness to bid so much at once.
The host didn’t expect anyone to bid such a high price just for this vase.
She spoke excitedly.
"Now someone has bid six million. Is there anyone who wants to continue bidding higher? If not, the vase will go to President Su."
Just as the host was about to start the countdown, Xu Kai indeed stood up with a smile.
"President Su, I’m sorry. Originally, I could fulfill your love for your boyfriend, but coincidentally, I also really like this vase, so I must apologize."
Then he smiled and looked at the host and said.
"I bid nine million."
Upon hearing this price, everyone gasped again.
No one expected that within Su Wanyi and Xu Kai’s bids, the vase with a starting price of 800,000 had exceeded more than ten times its value.
Everyone felt the tension between the two.
"What’s going on? They’re arguing over a vase."
"I think there must be something else behind this."
Su Wanyi’s expression became ugly; she felt Xu Kai’s words were really unpleasant.
The rules of auction always give the item to the highest bidder, but Xu Kai’s words implied a clear targeting of Ye Chen.
His implication seemed to suggest Ye Chen was freeloading.
Su Wanyi had never been this angry before; she didn’t care about the setting anymore and wanted to argue with Xu Kai.
Ye Chen, of course, saw her intention and shook his head at her, signaling not to be impulsive.
Su Wanyi held back her anger and sat there, her little fists clenched tightly.
Xu Kai looked at Su Wanyi with a smug expression.
Seeing this, Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Wanyi, since Young Master Xu likes it, let him have it."
Su Wanyi was really infuriated by Ye Chen’s words.
She thought Ye Chen’s personality wasn’t like this, but tonight he seemed to have changed.
Could it be because of his first girlfriend?
Su Wanyi had wild thoughts.
Ye Chen didn’t know what to say at the moment.
Xu Kai was very smug to have won the vase with nine million.
He shot a contemptuous look at Ye Chen and then turned to his girlfriend and said.
"Little Shuang, today if this freeloader dares to bid, you continue to bid. I want to see how capable he is."
Zhang Shuang nodded with a smile; she thought Xu Kai was very dashing.
The price he just called out was simply shocking to the whole audience.
She kept watching the changes in expressions around her, feeling even more prideful to be the girlfriend of a man like Xu Kai.
Ye Chen could sense Su Wanyi’s jealousy.
But he really felt wronged, since being with Su Wanyi, he cared only for her.
Whatever first love it was, had nothing to do with him.
Yet Su Wanyi’s actions clearly didn’t trust him.
Even because he gave up the vase, she was angry with him.
Ye Chen thought there was no need to confront a girl like this at the venue.
The auction continued.
What puzzled everyone was, the whole auction had turned into a private bidding war between Ye Chen and Zhang Shuang.
Whenever Ye Chen bid, Zhang Shuang immediately called out a higher price.
Of course, the item ultimately fell into Zhang Shuang’s hands.
Su Wanyi’s expression became increasingly angry; she couldn’t understand how Ye Chen behaved tonight.
Just because Zhang Shuang was Ye Chen’s first love, he didn’t want to break their harmony by continuing to bid.
Su Wanyi couldn’t stand it anymore and took herself out for some fresh air.
Seeing Su Wanyi leave, Ye Chen certainly followed her out.
In the auction just now, besides Ye Chen and Zhang Shuang bidding,
The others were like spectators, sitting aside enjoying the drama, with no intention to bid on items.
Everyone seemed to notice something was off, coupled with Su Wanyi’s sudden departure.
A buzz of discussion ensued.
"I see, Su Wanyi’s boyfriend definitely has a story with that Zhang Shuang."
"This plot is too interesting; I feel not even novels would dare write this way."
"I’m kind of curious how Ye Chen will explain this to Su Wanyi; the girl isn’t dumb, she must have figured it out, which is why she’s so mad."
Xu Kai, Zhou Jun, and others also looked smug.
"Young Master Xu, you are truly amazing. You didn’t see how awkward Ye Chen’s expression was."
"Exactly, he was so proud before, now he’s pathetic."
"I saw Su Wanyi was so angry she left the venue directly; it’s likely these two are over."
Xu Kai suddenly turned to Zhou Jun and said.
"Isn’t this precisely what you wanted? Now that they’ve broken up, don’t you have a chance to pursue Su Wanyi?"
