Capítulo 1937: Chapter 1835: 1,000,000,000,000_2

“Hey, did you know there’s a spending limit on this auction?” Chu Xianling quietly nudged Song Xiaodong.

“Huh? I didn’t know.”

“Come on, you’re just pretending. Others might not know, but I do. Your assets would just erase a zero.”

“I really didn’t know.”

Song Xiaodong truly didn’t know; he was planning to have Ruitu United Bank cover the cost because the bank director’s son-in-law had offended him.

“Since it’s Ruitu United Bank’s director, this matter is easily handled,” Song Xiaodong thought to himself.

“Alright, dear collectors present, this rare Kangxi handcrafted taste vase will be re-auctioned, starting at 8.9 million!” The auctioneer restarted the auction for this porcelain.

“9 million!” Song Xiaodong placed a bid.

There were no bosses present able to afford this piece.

“9 million once.”

“9 million twice.”

“9 million three times!”

“Sold!”

The deal was made on the spot with a card swipe, and the item would be delivered to Song Xiaodong’s home at a later date.

Secretary Xu quickly rushed out to calm Zhang Dongfang.

“Secretary Xu, what’s the meaning of this between you and Deputy Mayor Han? On the surface, you’re hospitable, but behind the scenes, you invite someone just to humiliate me? Huh? I’ve decided to pull out of my investment in Minghe. I’m leaving tomorrow!” Zhang Dongfang angrily headed towards his car.

Chapter 1836: Just for buying you a vase

“Mr. Zhang, don’t be angry, that Song Xiaodong is just a local bully. You’re an overseas Chinese, a valued guest to us. That Song Xiaodong wasn’t even on Vice Mayor Han’s invite list. So, do you think this has anything to do with us and Vice Mayor Han? Even so, despite having no direct relationship with this, we apologize to you. Don’t bother with such insignificant figures. And besides, didn’t you just say your personal grudge with Mr. Song wouldn’t affect your investment in Minghe!”

Zhang Dongfang was humiliated by Song Xiaodong, so he was determined to regain some face with Secretary Xu and Vice Mayor Han Yang.

“Insignificant figures? This person holds the global unique White Card issued by our Ruitu United Bank and spent a trillion from our Ruitu Bank to buy a vase. Forget investments, even I have to get involved; investments my foot!” Zhang Dongfang was a bit annoyed.

“Mr. Zhang, Vice Mayor Han just stated that there’s a cap on the transactions at this auction, Song Xiaodong’s bid doesn’t count.”

“Really?” Zhang Dongfang’s eyes lit up.

“Of course, Vice Mayor Han wouldn’t let personal emotions get in the way of business!”

“That’s good…” Zhang Dongfang seemed revived.

“About the investment…”

Upon hearing Song Xiaodong’s transaction wasn’t successful, Zhang Dongfang reconsidered.

“Secretary Xu, please convey to Vice Mayor Han that I’ll return to Ruitu the day after tomorrow.” After saying this, Zhang Dongfang got in his car.

“Mr. Zhang…” Secretary Xu was also thoughtful; Zhang Dongfang said he’d leave the day after tomorrow, not tomorrow, purposely leaving a day for Vice Mayor Han to make amends.

Now it’s up to Vice Mayor Han to make a move.

Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling headed home.

“Why did you think of buying something for your grandfather?” Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.

“My grandfather’s birthday is coming!” Chu Xianling replied.

“Oh? Is that so. Then why do you want me to spend the money for your grandfather’s gift!” Song Xiaodong playfully teased Chu Xianling.

“You’re my husband! Of course, it’s your money to spend!”

“Will you take me to meet your granddad then?” Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.

“Um…” Chu Xianling hesitated a bit.

“Let me think about it.”

“What’s there to think about? Am I not worthy?” Song Xiaodong asked Chu Xianling.

“No, it’s not that…”

Back home, a group of women immediately gathered around.

“What did you two buy?” Miao Qingqing asked.

“Nothing much, just… bought an antique…” Chu Xianling felt a bit awkward in front of her sisters.

After all, such a large amount, the other sisters might get jealous.

“Antique?” Sun Yiyi blinked her big eyes and asked Chu Xianling, “It wasn’t cheap, was it?”

“Um…” Chu Xianling lowered her head.

“How much?” Xiao Yingying came over too.

“9 million.”

“9 million?” Song Xiaoru was pained upon hearing the amount.

“Wow, Song Xiaodong, is this fair? We’re all sisters, and you only bought Chu Xianling something worth 9 million?” Sun Yiyi rebuked Song Xiaodong.

“I don’t care, I want something too!” Miao Xuanxuan pouted angrily.

Song Xiaodong had a headache; each woman wants 9 million, over ten of them, rounding up that’s a billion.

“Hey, don’t argue, this was bought for my grandfather. He loves this kind of stuff, his birthday’s coming up, I bought it for him, stop fighting, I’ll give the money back to Xiaodong,” said calmly.

“Hey, Xianling, that’s not what we mean, we just want Song Xiaodong to spend money!” a group of sisters quickly explained.

“What kind of spending is this, even if you have money, you shouldn’t be so extravagant,” Song Xiaoru scolded the sisters, and also Song Xiaodong.

“Sis, I’m not just buying stuff; I had other motives too.”

“Other motives? Eyeing the person selling the antique?” Song Xiaoru teased Song Xiaodong.

“No, sis, Xiaodong taught a lesson to an overseas Chinese today, it was so satisfying.” Chu Xianling talked with enthusiasm about the event.

“So, it was trouble again,” Song Xiaoru quickly concluded.

“I’ll tell you, that overseas Chinese was really arrogant, had a group of entrepreneurs following him around like minions. Then, Xiaodong outbid him at the auction, and he lost all face haha…”

“Overseas Chinese?” Sun Yiyi asked.

“The one Deputy Director Qiao took me to break through the road block the day Vice Mayor Han met him,” Song Xiaodong explained.
