The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 357 - 280_2

It’s well-known that Rong Xian’an sold off family assets to sustain a drug habit, and while Rong Zhi appeared to stabilize the RH Group, she actually had to inject a significant amount of money, leaving the facade glittering but hollow inside.

They all assumed Rong Zhi simply couldn’t stand Ying Fan’s ostentatious display.

"Let her bid. When she can’t come up with the money, it’ll surely be a colossal embarrassment."

This was a charity auction, and losing face here would indeed be a nationwide disgrace.

Ying Fan naturally understood this logic. His sullen face instantly shifted, his mood calming down as he smirked sarcastically.

He had to see how poor Rong Zhi could stand up to him.

Pressing the bell, he said in a calm voice, "Two hundred and fifty million."

As soon as he finished speaking, a nonchalant voice continued from the box:

"Five hundred million."

This fucking doubled instantly!

Ying Fan’s breath hitched briefly, then he relaxed, curling his lips, "Six hundred million."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see that Ying Fan was now engaged in a standoff with that person.

Many attendees who remembered Rong Zhi recognized her and began whispering among themselves.

"It’s six hundred million now, will Third Young Master raise the bid?"

"Given the grudge between these two, it seems likely. But does she have money?"

"She probably does. Didn’t SL Pharmaceutical just get cleared a few days back, with Old Lu and Chief Qi even testifying on her behalf? With those two backing her, she can walk sideways in Beijing and not care about such small amounts, right?"

The topic gradually shifted as the conversation flowed, moving on to the sensational clearing incident that had stirred the internet days ago.

With two big names backing them, along with Grandpa Qi’s clarification and Qi Nian’s reluctant confession, SL Pharmaceutical’s reputation was thoroughly redeemed.

Both online and offline stores selling the medicinal candy were directly sold out.

The RH Group’s daily income skyrocketed over these days, and the stock market saw an increase of several percentage points, turning a sea of red.

Ying Fan’s hand tightened on the armrest, a flicker of mockery and loathing in his eyes.

Just a little bit more, and he could have completely ruined SL Pharmaceutical!

But Old Sir Lu and Qi Ruiqin’s intervention overturned his calculations, preventing any of his plans from coming to fruition.

When Ying Fan saw RH’s stock market recovering, he almost spat blood.

His gaze fixed on the blue diamond, he had lost the corporate battle, but here he wouldn’t lose!

This time the pause seemed especially long, and just when Ying Fan thought he had the win in hand, the box continued to bid.

This time she seemed annoyed, straightforwardly throwing out the highest stake—

"One and a half billion."

The bidding tone remained calm and flat, as if calling out one and a half billion was like spending fifteen dollars.

Sitting next to Rong Zhi, Shen Junze was rarely shocked.

"Third Young Master, one and a half billion just for a blue diamond, isn’t it worth it?"

Rong Zhi casually crossed her legs, turned slightly, and responded with indifference, "Someone at home likes it, can’t help it."

In her unemotional tone, Shen Junze could impossibly detect a hint of indulgence.

His throat tightened, and he was left speechless.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yuanwu instantly looked up, glancing at her cool, slender-eyed tail, and chuckled lightly.

She was—giving them a warning.

-

One and a half billion exceeded everyone’s acceptable price.

Even though Ying Fan was furious, he wouldn’t throw that much money for a mere diamond.

He had to relax his strained hand and stopped bidding.

After the third strike, the host wiped the cold sweat and announced that Bluebloods had been auctioned off to Rong Zhi for one and a half billion.

The evening’s highlight concluded, and the remaining lots were lackluster, the crowd uninterested, dispersing quickly after completion.

Rong Zhi followed the servant to make the payment, and she happened to run into Ying Fan, who was also there to pay.

Facing each other, one had a face hidden with resentment and appeared gloomy, while the other raised an eyebrow slightly, remaining as indifferent as before.

"Good move, Third Young Master," Ying Fan snorted coldly.

In his anger, he could barely maintain his courtesy.

Rong Zhi reached into her pocket, casually retrieving a card and handed it to the servant.

Thankfully, Song Lichen reminded her to bring the card before going out, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to pay.

Ying Fan, intending to see how she would pay, then heard a ding, indicating a successful payment.

Such a large transfer surely required bank management to be present. The bank manager, witnessing the transaction, was also quite surprised.

Being able to swipe and for such an amount indicated that the card balance was indeed ample.

Moreover, seeing the cardholder’s calm and composed manner, the bank manager instantly showed respect.

"Hello, Madam, this is your card, and the platinum card prepared by our auction house for you. Presenting the platinum card next time will waive certain fees."

Rong Zhi slipped her hand into her pocket, her slender, fair fingers pinching the card as she softly said, "Thank you."
