Thirty million... For Ai Jiang, it was definitely a substantial amount.
Xia Wan’an, of course, knew when to take a step back, after all, if the show kept going, it would seem fake, and if it seed fake, her intentions would be easily seen through.
So, after hearing the number, Xia Wan’an didn’t raise her paddle anymore.
"Thirty million, thirty million! The lady in the second row has bid thirty million! If no one else bids, then I’ll..." In the midst of the host’s enthusiastic speech, Xia Wan’an saw Han Jingnian turn to glance at her, then whisper to Zhang Te, after which, she saw Zhang Te reach for his own paddle.
No way? After the nephew stirred the pot, did the uncle want to join the fray too?
Did this uncle-nephew duo really need to be so troubleso?!!!!
With Han Jingnian’s net worth, if he started bidding, Ai Jiang would surely back down... wouldn’t her carefully staged drama be ruined?!
Xia Wan’an, of course, wouldn’t allow Han Jingnian to ss up her plan, so without much thought, she picked up her phone and began texting him.
"Mr. Han, please refrain from bidding, thank you!"
After sending the ssage, Xia Wan’an looked up to see Han Jingnian checking his phone, which made her even more frantic as she started typing again.
"Mr. Han, please consider it a favor..."
"Mr. Han, I beg, I beg, I beg..."
"Mr. Han, saving a life is greater than creating a seven-story pagoda. You’re a god, a Buddha, a hero..."
While Xia Wan’an was wracking her brain thinking of ways to praise Han Jingnian, a ssage suddenly popped up on her screen: "Condition."
Condition? What the hell?
Xia Wan’an raised her hand in confusion and typed, "Mr. Han, did you send the wrong ssage?"
Just as she was about to hit send, she suddenly realized, the man of few words, Han Jingnian, was negotiating terms.
Translating the word "condition" ant: I can help you, but I have conditions. What would be yours?
Thinking of this, Xia Wan’an quickly deleted the ssage she had just typed and replaced it with, "Mr. Han, it’s a beautiful evening. Would you allow to invite you to the Garden Mansion at the Four Seasons Hotel for coffee as a token of my gratitude?"
After the ssage was successfully sent, Xia Wan’an looked at Han Jingnian. The man was staring at his phone screen for a while, then turned to Zhang Te, said a few words, and Zhang Te put the paddle he had just picked up back down.
Watching this, Xia Wan’an breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully she understood Han Jingnian and decoded his ssage in ti, otherwise her plan would’ve been ruined!
Seeing no one else bid from the stage, the host started speaking into the microphone, "Thirty million once, thirty million twice, thirty million for the third ti!"
"Congratulations to Miss Ai Jiang for winning the bidding item, and also becoming this year’s charity event ambassador... Now, please welco Miss Ai Jiang to the stage..."
Under thunderous applause, Ai Jiang stood up. Wearing a sweet smile and the gaze of the entire audience, she walked onto the center of the stage with the hem of her dress slightly lifted.
After steadying herself, she adjusted her dress, then looked towards the audience.
She had succeeded, she had finally succeeded... She was the event ambassador... She had finally entered the high society circle she had been admiring!
As Ai Jiang’s emotions churned, the host started speaking again, "Now we’d like to invite Mr. Chen Ji, the founder of the charity event, to present the award to Miss Ai Jiang... Let’s welco Mr. Chen Ji..."
