My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 281: 280, Symposium (3) Chapter 281: 280, Symposium (3) Song Yan Ning and her companions nodded.

“This gentleman is Old Xu, and he’ll be presiding over the auction shortly. Old Xu, this is the brilliant Mr. Liu, she is his boss, and this is Mr. Qin,” Yang Qi introduced the parties to each other.

He had met Old Xu once a few years ago, during his most glorious period. Since he got along well with Old Xu, they had exchanged phone numbers. He never expected to encounter him again, and even more so that Old Xu would be the auctioneer.

Old Xu nodded slightly. He had heard of the dazzling presence of Mr. Liu, but the current him was not fond of mingling with Huaxia businessmen. If it hadn’t been for Yang Qi grabbing his attention and insisting on chatting, he wouldn’t have bothered with Yang Qi. Back in the day, he had some renown, but now in the jewelry world, he couldn’t even rank. Why would he care about Yang Qi?

Seeing Old Xu seemingly uninterested in them, Song Yan Ning’s group simply nodded back. They certainly weren’t interested in forcing themselves on others.

Yang Qi felt somewhat embarrassed and looked at Song Yan Ning’s group, “Old Xu is just like that, don’t mind him.” He could also feel that Old Xu wasn’t as enthusiastic towards him as before.

Song Yan Ning’s group shook their heads. They wouldn’t concern themselves with someone unrelated to them.

Old Xu saw more people entering the auction venue and stood up, “Excuse me.” Acknowledging them was already a matter of giving face.

As more and more people entered the auction venue, the quiet hall became noisy.

Zhang Yun discovered that his seat was right next to Liu Xin’s and a happy smile appeared on his lips. It seemed his luck was not bad.

He had just sent someone to find out which rough lot Song Yan Ning had chosen, only to learn that Song Yan Ning’s group hadn’t submitted their bid numbers. This frustrated him. Now, seated right beside them, he could clearly see what rough they chose. All he had to do was to place a slightly higher bid than theirs and he could snatch away their rough.

Song Yan Ning glanced at Zhang Yun and a cold laugh flickered in her eyes. As if she didn’t know what Zhang Yun had in mind. Since the other party wanted to cut in, she would let him have his way.

Time ticked by, and the venue soon filled with people.

Old Xu stepped in front of the auction podium, surveying the crowd, “I am Xu Kunyang, the auctioneer for this event. First, let me represent the organizers and welcome everyone here.”

“Clap, clap, clap!” A round of applause erupted in the auction hall.

When the applause subsided, Old Xu smiled slightly at the crowd, “I know you esteemed guests are here for the rough, so I won’t waste your time. Let’s begin with the bidding for the Red Zone rough. Please enter the numbers of the lots you’ve selected and your bid prices into the mobile phones placed in front of you, and remember once submitted, they cannot be changed.”

The Red Zone was full of waste and unpopular rough, so there was no need to waste time on individual bids.

“Boss!” Liu Xin handed the phone to Song Yan Ning.

Song Yan Ning shook her head, “You enter it.”

“Okay.” Liu Xin opened the notebook and began to slowly fill in the numbers from the notebook and the prices they had discussed into the mobile phone.

Zhang Yun watched out of the corner of his eye as Liu Xin handled the mobile and mentally noted the rough lot numbers and prices. Once Liu Xin submitted, he would enter the same and by then, even if Liu Xin found out, there was nothing he could do.

Liu Xin carefully checked everything a second time, then pressed the confirm button.

Once Liu Xin submitted, Zhang Yun quickly entered the numbers he had just noted, raising his bid slightly above Liu Xin’s. The price of Red Zone rough couldn’t compare with those of the Blue or Yellow Zones. The businessmen coming to Myanmar for the betting event rarely bid on Red Zone rough, so the starting prices set by the organizers were not high.

Liu Xin glanced at the mobile phone in Zhang Yun’s hands and his brows immediately furrowed, “You really are despicable!”

He noticed that Zhang Yun had entered the same numbers as he, only with a higher price.

Zhang Yun laughed heartily and submitted the numbers and prices, “President Liu is wrong. This is fair competition; the highest bidder wins.”

“Don’t get too happy too soon,” Liu Xin coldly huffed, not bothering to argue further with Zhang Yun. He had plenty of ways to deal with such a despicable person.

Zhang Yun’s laughter contained a note of smugness. Since he dared to openly snatch Liu Xin’s lots, he wasn’t afraid of Liu Xin getting back at him, especially since Zhang Yun himself was no pushover.

The bid results were quickly displayed on the large screen.

Seeing the results on the screen, Liu Xin and Zhang Yun were both taken aback. How could this be?

Liu Xin couldn’t help laughing, “Mr. Zhang, did you enter the wrong number by mistake?” The numbers on his side and the numbers he entered matched.

“Liu Xin, did you buy off someone inside? How despicable!” Zhang Yun was certain his entries were accurate.

“I’m not like you; I don’t like losing,” Liu Xin responded with a cold laugh, turning his head away. He was curious too. He had clearly seen Zhang Yun input the same numbers as his, could there have been a glitch in the system?

Old Xu glanced at the big screen, “Now let’s move on to the Blue Zone rough. Please enter your numbers and bids.”

Liu Xin had only noted the Red Zone numbers and was about to put down his mobile phone to watch the other bids when Song Yan Ning’s voice came, “Enter P11503, P11730, and P11829. The price should be around five hundred thousand each.”

Liu Xin looked at Song Yan Ning in surprise and quickly entered the numbers and prices she mentioned into the mobile. She was so straightforward, wasn’t she afraid Zhang Yun would hear? The bidding for the Blue Zone rough was different from the Red Zone. Although the number of bidders couldn’t match the Yellow Zone rough, it would certainly not be few.

Zhang Yun hadn’t heard Song Yan Ning’s words. Seeing Liu Xin inputting numbers again, he thought for a moment and also entered numbers and prices on his mobile phone. The loss from before didn’t really affect him since the Red Zone rough was truly cheap.

After everyone submitted their bids, the results were quickly displayed on the big screen.

Zhang Yun, seeing the results on the big screen, immediately revealed a happy smile. Turning to Liu Xin’s gloomy face, he gloated, “Sorry, but I won the bid this time. Don’t be disappointed; the Yellow Zone auction is still to come.” But he wouldn’t give Liu Xin any chances.

Liu Xin glared fiercely at Zhang Yun and turned his head to look at the screen. This despicable, shameless villain, he thought, wait until we are back in our country and see how I deal with you.
