A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 241 The Last Item

The auction proceeded.

Item after item was successfully auctioned off and the auction was reaching the end.

When it reached 10PM, Li Er walked out from the backstage and onto the main stage.

The moment Li Er made his appearance, the entire hall quietened down.

It was as if a song had reached its climax.

Everyone held their breath and there was a nervous and anticipatory look in their eyes.

They knew that the most important part of the program was finally going to start.

The main item for the night was going to be revealed soon.

"First things first. As the organizer of tonight's auction, I would like to thank everyone for coming. The

Mid-Autumn Festival Auction has been able to go on for eight years in a row now. But I have to say that

tonight's auction cannot be compared to the past years.”

"Yunzhou is the brightest star in all of Jiangdong tonight. Even the event in Jianghai cannot be

compared to this one in terms of scale and grandeur. Thank you everyone, for giving me this honor!" Li

Er's deep voice filled the hall as he stood on stage in a well fitted suit.

There was applause all around.

Li Er waved his hands to quieten everyone down. Then he continued, "I believe everyone knows that

we have now truly reached the climax of tonight's auction."

"And I'm very sure that many others are like me and you can't wait to see what the next item up for

auction is."

"But before that, let me ask everyone a few questions."

"I'm not sure if everyone has heard of a person who disregarded his own safety and stood up when

Jiangdong was in danger?"

"And does everybody know that there was a person who descended from the skies like a king to wield

his incredible power to save Jiangdong from dying?"

"His slim body has held up the expansive land of Jiangdong!"

"His fists of iron finished off that bloodthirsty wolf who killed without any conscience!"

"He might be young, but his prowess is greater than a mountain!"

"He might be small in stature, but he is unparalleled in might!"

"Nobody knew who he was when he went to Mount Tai. But his incredible strength shook all of

Jiangdong when he left!"

"That's right, he is Mr Chu."

"The king of Jiangdong, Mr Chu!"

Li Er's words were respectful and carried authority in them. They swept across the hall like a huge gust

of wind.

Many people in the audience had never seen Mr Chu before. But through Li Er's words, they felt like

they could see that authoritative and incomparably mighty figure that seemed as tall as Mount Tai itself.

There was another round of applause.

But this time, the crowd was applauding for Mr Chu. They were clapping for that incredible man.

"How wonderful, what a wonderful speech. Mu-Cheng, did you see that? That's how powerful Mr Chu

is! That's the influence that the man I like has!!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were going crazy from excitement, especially Su Qian. After hearing

Li Er's speech, she felt so emotional that she was about to cry.

Her voice was filled with immense admiration and reverence for Mr Chu.

Qiu Mu-Cheng herself wasn't calm either.

She wasn't as crazy over Mr Chu as Su Qian was, but she still admired and looked up to Mr Chu too.

She had seen how that man had risen and she knew how noble that man really was.

"That's right, Qianqian. He really is a hero. He's really worthy of all this respect and admiration you see

here," Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled faintly as she looked down at the uproarious crowd and the look of

reverence in their eyes.

But neither Qiu Mu-Cheng nor Su Qian noticed that there was a man standing behind them who was

looking at Qiu Mu-Cheng's beautiful back view with deep adoration in his eyes.

"Mu-Cheng, so what if a thousand people admire me? So what if ten thousand respect me?"

"To me, all this isn't even comparable to a strand of hair on your head."

The applause in the hall was thunderous as everyone tried to express the deep respect and admiration

they had for Mr Chu.

But nobody knew that this highly respected man only had eyes for Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Sometimes life was so dramatic like this.

You might be looking at the scenery by the window, but the one supposedly looking at the scenery

outside is actually looking at you.

This was exactly what was happening between Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan.

After a long period of applause, Li Er started speaking again.

"Alright alright, I won't say too much. Let me now announce what incredible item Mr Chu has put up for

auction tonight. The last item for tonight is..."

There was a loooooong period of silence and suspense.

Li Er paused for an extremely long period of time before his lips finally moved again and his voice

echoed through the hall. "A chance.”

"A chance to have dinner with Mr Chu

"That's right, that's the last item for auction tonight."

"Of course, to most people, this is just an ordinary meal. But I'm sure this isn't just a meal to all of you,

but an opportunity. This is an opportunity to sit down with the most powerful man in Jiangdong, to share

the same breathing space as him and to share pointers with him."

"You will be able to say anything you wish to him! Regardless of your doubts, your thoughts, your

requests. Everything. As for who will ultimately be able to get this chance...that depends on all of you

tonight," Li Er's thick voice echoed in the hall.

Finally Li Er faced the crowd and declared, "The bid starts at $1!"

What?!

$1?!

This starting price caused quite a stir in the hall once again.

But someone soon started bidding.

Su Qian couldn't sit still at all.

"Mu-Cheng, it's $1! Only $1!"

"Let's go for it!"

"Even if I have to bankrupt my family, I'm going to get the chance to have dinner with Mr Chu! With the

beautiful starry sky and the moon over the river, I'll be having a private candlelight dinner with Mr Chu!

Mr Chu might even fall for me during this dinner because the atmosphere is soooo romantic!" said Su

Qian confidently with her fists clenched.

Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded. "Qianqian, I support you! I'll bid too!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to bid not because she wanted to marry Mr Chu like Su Qian. She just wanted

to see this legendary man and ask how to be as successful as him.

One only became more outstanding after talking to other outstanding people.

'Til offer $100,000!"

"$200,000!"

The two women quickly got into the bidding.

Ye Fan didn't whether to laugh or cry at these two women.

This silly wife of his actually wanted to bid for this chance too.

This silly girl. Didn't she eat with him every day?

Why was she bidding?

What was the point?

Wasn't this as pointless as having to remove your pants to fart?
