Zhu Xiangyue had to admit that he was clever. Yue Hui had also considered this, but such actions would only serve to enhance the company's visibility without actually making any profit; it might even lead to losses. Yue's Jewelry was already well-known and did not require such tactics, but for the Zhu Family's jewelry company, this presented an opportunity.
The staff, hearing Zhu Xiangyue's words, found themselves in a dilemma. They could not offend Yue Hui, nor could they disregard Zhu Xiangyue, especially since Zhu was willing to offer an additional million. Ultimately, the staff could only apologize to Yue Hui.
"Mr. Zhu, I see you have plenty of money. Do you think I want this Golden Buddha? I came here today just to accompany Mr. Jiang; I have no intention of purchasing any artifacts. This Golden Buddha is something Mr. Jiang has his eye on, meant as a gift for his god-grandmother. What you're doing is disrespectful to Mr. Jiang," Yue Hui said calmly.
Zhu Xiangyue glanced at Jiang Chen, who stood nearby with an expression as calm as a still pond.
"Ha! I don't care about Mr. Jiang; I've set my sights on the Golden Buddha. The highest bidder wins. If anyone wants to snatch it from me, it's simple—just offer a price that makes me hesitate," Zhu Xiangyue declared.
The staff couldn't help but feel secretly pleased at Zhu Xiangyue's words. The young master of the Zhu Family had arrived at just the right moment. If everyone were like Zhu Shao, today's auction would likely see total sales increase by at least thirty percent.
"Zhu, Zhu Shao—" Just as Zhu Xiangyue finished speaking, someone beside him tugged at his sleeve. He turned to see Dong Mingshui looking anxious and signaling him to be quiet.
Dong Mingshui certainly remembered Jiang Chen; three years ago on West Lake, he had teased Yue Hui and nearly faced death at Jiang Chen's hands. He knew well that despite Jiang Chen's youthful appearance and seemingly harmless demeanor, his strength was terrifying. Dong Mingshui dared not provoke someone with such extraordinary abilities.
As a friend of Zhu Xiangyue, Dong Mingshui felt it necessary to offer a warning.
"Just say what you need to say," Zhu Xiangyue replied impatiently.
"That person... we can't afford to offend him; his skills are too formidable—he's a martial arts master," Dong Mingshui whispered.
"So what if he's a martial arts master? Does he dare use force here?" Zhu Xiangyue scoffed dismissively.
"That's true, but Zhu Shao, you should still be cautious; he really is very powerful," Dong Mingshui said after a moment of thought. With so many people around tonight, even if Jiang Chen was capable of great things, he probably wouldn't dare act violently in front of such a crowd. Still, it was better to be careful.
Zhu Xiangyue sneered and ignored Dong Mingshui's advice, turning his attention back to Jiang Chen with a provocative tone: "I don't care who you are or what your background is; the rules of the auction state that the highest bidder wins. I've outbid you by a million for this Golden Buddha. If you're not satisfied, feel free to raise your bid; I'm ready to compete until the end."
Yue Hui fell silent, internally mourning for Zhu Xiangyue for three seconds. He had initially worried that Zhu might surpass Yue's Jewelry within five years, but now it seemed uncertain whether Zhu Xiangyue would even survive the night.
"This Golden Buddha—I won't raise my bid; it's already mine," Jiang Chen said coolly.
"You really are naive! I've outbid you by a million! Brother, if you don't have money, then don't come to places like this," Zhu Xiangyue mocked.
"What I want is mine regardless of whether you offer an additional hundred billion. As long as I haven't completely lost my patience, you'd best disappear from my sight; otherwise, you might find yourself erased from this world," Jiang Chen replied calmly.
