After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1163: The Second Qin Family Auction Was a Great Success

Qin Bei watched, his jealousy getting the best of him, and couldn't help but nudge Qin Nan's arm, whispering, "What do you think? If I tell them 'Buy one, get one free,' do you think they'll go for that deal?"

Qin Nan shot him a glance, his eyes filled with disdain. "You sure that's a good deal?"

"Why wouldn't it be?" Qin Bei retorted with confidence. "I'm going to be a big star one day. For them, it's a blessing to get me as a freebie!"

Qin Nan: "..." Having you around is my blessing.

He rubbed his face and glanced at his bank balance on his phone. He clenched his fist. It was time for some plastic surgery!

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou was immersed in the heated competition. Every time the bidders hesitated to raise their bids, Qin Er would glance down at the sack of trophies on the floor, and instantly, the atmosphere would heat back up. The university presidents were now fighting furiously, their eyes red with determination.

Spending a little money today was nothing, they thought. They could earn it all back in the future. Plus, what they'd gain wasn't just money—it was fame and prospects.

According to their inside sources, the director of the Education Bureau was about to retire soon, and the next person to take over could very well come from their ranks. Having Zhouzhou would mean not just more trophies, but more achievements to show off.

No one was a fool; they all understood the stakes, and so they didn't hesitate to increase their bids.

Zhouzhou sat on the couch, rubbing her chin, and couldn't help but turn to Grandma Qin and say, "Grandma, I think I've lost weight."

"Why do you say that?"

Zhouzhou cupped her face and said, "I feel like I could float up into the sky now!"

Turns out, she was so valuable, so adored, and so incredible! She now felt like the most important person in the world!

Grandma Qin: "...Pfft."

She couldn't help but chuckle.

Grandpa Qin also couldn't hold back his laughter, covering it up with a sip of tea.

What a treasure she was.

After more than half an hour, the bidding finally reached its climax. Other schools, seeing their budgets dwindling, gradually pulled out of the race.

In the end, only the presidents of A University and B University remained in the bidding war.

The B University president glanced warily at A University's president, noticing how calm and collected he was, almost as if he had already won. This made him second-guess. What was this old man up to? Despite his confidence, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After a moment's thought, the B University president said, "I bid ten million. Zhouzhou, if you agree to come to our school, I'll offer you all the resources Qin Er received."

As for the resources offered to Qin Er, aside from the prize money for bringing him in, there would also be a private lab and a luxurious standalone dormitory. Of course, Qin Dafu never stayed in that dormitory; he'd rented it out and had been a landlord for four years, collecting rent for four years.

The B University president smiled broadly and added, "Do you like selling things at stalls? I can give you a stall in the supermarket. Pick any spot you like, one that's sheltered from both wind and rain. I guarantee you'll be happy with it."

At that, Zhouzhou's interest was piqued. In her mind, Qin Er was her confidant, and she had followed him to wealth all these years, so it felt natural to want to follow his footsteps.

Seeing her response, the B University president felt a sense of pride and cast a victorious look at the A University president. Now, how would he respond?

A University's president remained unfazed, calmly opening the bag he'd brought with him.

The B University president sneered internally. The bag was so thin it couldn't even hold a hundred thousand, and yet he was daring to pull it out?

However, in the next second, his face froze.

A University's president pulled out several stacks of cash and placed them on the coffee table, smiling warmly at Zhouzhou. "As for stalls, we have those too. This is just your bonus. Whether you choose us or not, this money is yours."

As he spoke, his expression was genuine, and he smiled without a hint of imperfection, appearing as though he were nothing but a kind elder.

B University's president turned beet red. "This scheming dog!" he muttered angrily under his breath.

Immediately, he took out a card and handed it to Zhouzhou. "I've got one too. There's a hundred thousand in it for you."

He then shot a defiant glance at A University's president. "See, you're not the only one with money."

B University's president didn't even flinch. This old man always had a way of putting on a show.

He turned his attention to Qin Er. Now, surely Zhouzhou would choose him, right?

But to his surprise, Qin Er raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on the stacks of cash. Suddenly, an ominous feeling crossed his mind.

In the next moment, Zhouzhou's eyes lit up as she hugged the stacks of cash and asked A University's president, "If I agree, does this all belong to me?"

"Of course," A University's president answered, smiling broadly, his hands moving swiftly as he pulled out a contract and a pen.

Before B University's president could say anything, Zhouzhou had already signed her name on the dotted line.

After signing, she exhaled in relief, her expression showing more tension than A University's president.

Good thing she signed quickly, before he could change his mind.

Now that the money was in her hands, it was hers to keep!

A University's president's smile deepened, his previously warm and honest demeanor now replaced by something more cunning—he now looked more like a fox.

An old fox, to be precise!

He was delighted, but B University's president was left stunned. "Why? Why her?"

He asked in frustration, his face flushed. "I offered the same amount! I gave a hundred thousand too! Why didn't she choose me?"

A University's president smiled knowingly. "I guess we have a bond."

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. "Exactly! A strong one!"

So, that money was definitely not coming back!

B University's president was about to ask again when Qin Er struck the gavel. "Congratulations to President Wang for winning the treasure."

President Wang of A University was beaming with joy.

Qin Lie also set his teacup down and said, "Thank you all for coming today. I've booked a restaurant, and I hope you'll join me for a meal."

Although the other universities didn't get the bid they wanted, they were still eager to build relationships for future opportunities, so they didn't refuse.

Qin Lie had chosen a great restaurant, and the food was delicious. Zhouzhou ate until her belly was round and content. Meanwhile, B University's president couldn't eat another bite.

Finally, when the event wrapped up, he found an opportunity to pull Qin Er aside and ask, "What exactly happened here?"

Even though he lost, he wanted to understand why.

Qin Er looked at him seriously and said, "Have you heard of the saying 'seeing money and getting greedy'?"

Even though the amounts were the same, one was a stack of real cash, while the other was just a thin card. The visual impact was vastly different, especially for a money-hungry person.

B University's president pondered for a long time before finally understanding. He was at a loss for words, realizing he had been outsmarted. The joker, in the end, was himself!

B University's president gritted his teeth in frustration and slapped his thigh. "What a miscalculation!"
