Chapter 235 The War Without Gunfire
The moment Bai Li pressed confirm, the backend system quickly recorded her bid.
The 500 million yuan in the bank card was automatically frozen and left empty.
If the bid is successful, the 500 million will be automatically transferred.
But if it fails, the 500 million will be returned to Bai Li.
In Bai Li's mind, 500 million was more than enough and foolproof.
Who would dare to spend the money for just one night's booth, except for someone with a super-rich system like her?
as predicted.
After the new price was announced, a distinct gasp of surprise came from the booths in the distance.
-------------------------
"500 million! Who offered that price?" Miss Lin suddenly jumped up from the sofa, her eyes fixed on the PAD in her hand, her voice sharp and shaky with shock.
She thought there was something wrong with her eyes; just moments ago, the auction price was hovering around 150 million.
In her estimation, even if the scene was crazy, 200 million would be the maximum number. How could it have jumped so much in the blink of an eye!
Her fingers trembled slightly as she counted carefully over and over again until she finally confirmed that it really was "500 million".
"Could it be those guys next door? It must be them!" Miss Lin bit her lower lip, her anger flaring up instantly.
Aside from those spoiled brats who love to cause trouble, who else would be so bored as to spend 500 million?
A bunch of people who have nothing better to do than eat their fill!
Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Miss Lin's eyes.
That group of people often clashed with Luo Nan at school, constantly causing him trouble.
Now, Luo Nan's family has suffered a sudden misfortune and fallen into poverty, plunging him into a low point in his life. He must be feeling very sad.
But these despicable guys just wouldn't let him go. They kept trying to trip him up. They were definitely trying to ridicule and mock him. It was really too much!
No one knows which malicious person secretly spread the news that Luo Nan went out to work as a male model to the school.
In no time, the news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the campus.
Today, looking around, many of the people on the field are her classmates.
Most of these people came with the intention of watching the show become a joke.
Especially those male classmates who usually don't get along with Luo Nan, they must be hiding in some corner right now, secretly gloating.
They must be thinking that the once powerful school bully has now been reduced to selling his body to make a living, and is even being fought over by them to keep them company.
This stark contrast undoubtedly gives those psychologically disturbed boys a twisted sense of accomplishment.
Just now, the price of Luonan, which was packaged as "Ares", skyrocketed because Miss Lin was constantly bidding against the other side.
Despicable boys!
They must have scraped together 500 million!
Although they are all from prominent families, they are still in school and have not yet left their families, so they don't have much spare money.
She took out the 200 million yuan she had hidden away in her account today, but it still wasn't enough.
But 500 million is definitely the limit for those guys.
Miss Lin gripped the PAD tightly in her hand, her eyes revealing a stubbornness.
Luo Nan was her idol, and she absolutely couldn't stand by and watch him be humiliated by those people. No matter the cost, she had to protect Luo Nan's last shred of dignity.
Miss Lin picked up the phone and dialed: "Hello, Dad, transfer me 500 million yuan. I need it urgently."
---------------------------
"Holy crap! Who is it? 500 million? That's really generous!"
At the same time, a considerable number of gasps erupted from the other booths.
Several boys of similar age were sitting in the booth.
One of the tall, thin boys suddenly stood up, nearly knocking over his wine glass, his face filled with shock.
In the center of the booth, a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses frowned slightly, a thoughtful glint in his eyes behind the lenses, and slowly said, "I saw Lin Ling when I came in."
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy booths instantly quieted down.
Miss Lin certainly has the ability, and as a former admirer of Luo Nan, she has the motive.
The tall man asked in surprise, "You mean Lin Ling offered a price that made her brain malfunction?"
On the other side, a boy with phoenix eyes clicked his tongue softly, a hint of disdain on his face. His gaze swept across the crowd as he spoke, "Never mind who offered the price. I'm just asking you, how much money did you all bring today?"
"Huh?" the tall man exclaimed again. "Hey Chen, you're not going to go for it, are you? 500 million? Are you out of your mind...?"
...What happened?
The tall man didn't finish what he was saying.
To be honest, he was a little afraid of this man surnamed Chen.
The man surnamed Chen's lips curled into a sinister smile as he coldly said, "Miss Lin is all alone. Do you think all of us combined are no match for her? Don't tell me you're chickening out."
They were all just adults, full of youthful vigor, and couldn't stand being called "cowards."
After hearing Chen Shao's words, the group looked at each other, their competitive spirit instantly ignited.
Thinking about it carefully, each of them has a lot of pocket money and savings from their parents, which they usually spend on eating, drinking and having fun, leaving most of the money idle.
Now, when added together, it would indeed be a considerable sum.
Since they were just sitting there anyway, they might as well take this opportunity to humiliate Luo Nan, who used to be so arrogant in school, and make that former school bully bow down to them. Everyone felt a surge of excitement, as if they could already see Luo Nan's pathetic state.
"Go for it! I'm not afraid of her!"
--------------------------
After Bai Li made his bid, the auction price has remained unchanged for a long time.
She leaned back on the sofa in the booth, leisurely watching the auction enter its final countdown. Just when Bai Li felt confident of winning, the numbers on the previously still screen suddenly started jumping wildly again.
"550 million!"
"580 million!"
"600 million!"
……
Bai Li sat up straight.
Who is it?
People are willing to pay 500 million?
And it's not just one company following suit.
Jiang Mingfei was speechless for a moment. It wasn't her first time here, but she had never seen such a scene before.
Not to mention Jiang Mingfei, even Noir, who works here, was stunned.
He was already green with envy when he saw Bai Li's bid of 500 million, but now, seeing the ever-increasing price, he felt that his worldview had been completely overturned.
Noir's voice trembled with shock and excitement: "This...this has already broken our local record!"
He was filled with amazement. The performance that this newcomer, Ares, had generated in one night was probably more than what he had achieved in six months of hard work.
The continued rise in prices has aroused Bai Li's competitive spirit and curiosity.
She thought to herself, even if Ares is incredibly beautiful, it's just buying a booth for one night, which doesn't seem worth spending such a huge amount of money.
Bai Li had a strong feeling: this Ares is definitely not simple.
Those who are challenging the auction definitely have other motives.
What could it be?
Bai Li squinted her eyes with great interest.
Noir told me that Ares used to be a rich kid. Could it be that they're rivals from the past? Or is there some other, deeper reason?
“Interesting…” Bai Li murmured softly, and deducted her price from the PAD again.
She had great confidence that if she took the auction seriously, no one would be able to easily outmaneuver her tonight.
Unless the opponent is someone of Wu Hai's caliber.
Her liquid savings, accumulated over time, had reached a terrifying number, with so many zeros that even she sometimes couldn't be bothered to count them carefully.
She is destined to win this war without gunfire.
