Beauty and the Bodyguard

This passbook had accompanied this poor student through high school and all the way to University. Now, the passbook had been filled to the last page, but the student was not willing to change it. Instead, he had kept it!

Now, he could already tutor and work part-time while studying. He no longer needed help from the villagers. However, he copied every number in the passbook and prepared to pay them back one by one after he graduated from college and found a job. He would pay them back double.

It had to be said that this passbook was quite significant and was in line with the theme of this charity auction. Therefore, this passbook was won by an entrepreneur who often donated to poor students at the high price of one million Yuan. He was prepared to keep it when he went back.

The items after that were also very meaningful. Of course, there was no lack of truly valuable items, such as jewelry, antiques, and so on. However, these were mostly donated by the university's professors and staff.

The auction continued in an orderly manner, and those rich people also had a tacit understanding. Unless it was something valuable that they really liked, there would be little competition. The final price was also related to the financial resources of their respective companies. Some items were sold for tens of thousands, some for hundreds of thousands or even millions. No matter how much it was, it was a show of love.

"The next item up for auction is a piece of artwork, provided by Lin Yi from the Biology and Medicine major. This is a piece of artwork he made himself, and the starting price is five thousand Yuan." It was tai Weiliang that was introduced, not Yushu. Yushu didn't need to be introduced, since Lin Yi's donation was just a normal item.

The carving was exquisite, but Lin Yi wasn't a master sculptor, so a couple thousand Kuai was already quite a high price. The starting price was five thousand, and that was purely for the rich to show their love.

Zhao Qibing was sitting beside you Panhu and Kang Zhaolong, waiting for an opportunity to bid for an item to get into the masquerade party. However, it was still early and the auction was only halfway through. He was in no rush, he just wanted to see if there was anything he liked. Wouldn't this be killing two birds with one stone?

However, when he heard the host say that the next item was donated by Lin Yi, he raised his auction board immediately and shouted before he could show tai Weiliang the details of the artwork,""Five million!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The crowd was in an uproar. Such an impatient bid, and it was five million the moment it came out, had never appeared in the auction until now! Even if it was a donation, everyone would raise the bid step by step. Who would directly call out such a high price?

Plus, usually, high-priced items were things that were already valuable or had some sort of sentimental value. Lin Yi's mementos were one of the least popular items, and the starting price was low. They were mainly reserved for small business owners who didn't have much money, or for those who had just returned to their school and worked there for a short time. Qibing's bid of five million made everyone look at him like he was an idiot.

However, Zhao Qibing didn't care about them. He was still holding his auction board leisurely as he looked at the guests who were looking at him with disdain. He thought to himself,"you people don't know that five million for a broken leg is worth it!"

Tai Weiliang was dumbfounded as well. He only reacted after a long while. Did he miss out on something? Isn't this just an ordinary craft? How could it be auctioned at such a high price?

Could this be something good? But ... He didn't see anything wrong with it. If he had known that this thing was so precious, he would have placed it at the end of the auction instead of taking it out so early.

However, what tai Weiliang didn't know was that if he had placed it at the end of the auction, it wouldn't have been sold for such a high price. The reason was simple-Zhao Qibing wouldn't wait until the end to bid for it, he would have bought one before the auction ended.

Even if they saw Lin Yi's item at the end, they wouldn't bid five million immediately because they already had something else in their hands. Even if they wanted to please Lin Yi, they would only bid two or three million.

"Five million. The gentleman in number 74 has bid five million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?" Tai Weiliang asked expectantly. After all, Zhao Qibing had raised the price to five million all of a sudden. In his opinion, this might really be something good, and there would definitely be people competing for it! The result was to his satisfaction, because someone else had made a bid!

"Six million!" A voice rang out-it was fatty Lai!

Lin Yi didn't think that someone would bid five million for a handcraft he just made! This item was originally for fatty Lai. Fatty Lai wasn't a businessman from Donghai city, but he was from a famous company in the nearby Songshan city, so it wasn't a surprise that he was here.

Fatty Lai, on the other hand, didn't expect Qibing to make the first bid, but Lin Yi had told him to bid for Lin Yi's artwork, so he still made his bid.

"F * ck!" Qibing froze-he didn't think anyone would fight with him over a piece of junk! As far as he was concerned, he wouldn't even pick it up if it was thrown in front of him, let alone buy it if it wasn't Lin Yi's work.

But he'd already called out his price, and if he didn't bid, Lin Yi might break his leg if he got upset. After all, Lin Yi could have told the school that someone had requested for his legs to be broken, but it was too difficult a request-he couldn't do it!

The school would definitely support Lin Yi, too-breaking someone's leg wasn't something they could do, after all. It'd be considered intentional.

So, Qibing continued to bid,""Eight million!"

To the heir of the Hidden House Zhao, this amount of money was nothing. If he could master the thousand legs technique, that would be the most important thing. Old master Zhao was also very supportive of this, so money was not a problem.

Tai Weiliang was dumbfounded. There were actually people competing for it? And not only that, Qibing had made an even higher bid right after? Was this thing really that good?

In fact, not only was tai Weiliang dumbfounded, everyone else was dumbfounded as well! The owners, especially, had good taste, but none of them could tell what was so good about Lin Yi's work.

"Eight ... Eight million. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher? "The Mister in number 74 has bid 8 million ..." Tai Weiliang quickly asked after he regained his senses. (To be continued.)
