Chapter 51: Everyone’s Idol (21)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xie Zhou had a gaze filled with serenity as he watched Gu Chuzheng leave.

Meanwhile, the man had a dumbfounded look. Who was that woman?

‘Xie Zhou actually called her President Gu?’

‘Which President Gu was he referring to?’

‘Why did he not know any?’

Liu Manman had an indiscernible look as she lowered her head and used her bangs to cover her expression.

Only her tightly clenched hands laying beside her body revealed the troubled feelings in her heart.

Xie Zhou brought her in and the man followed in with perturbed feelings as his whole mind was filled with Xie Zhou’s words of President Gu.

After he entered, at his first glance, the man saw that girl at the very forefront.

She sat in the first row. This…

“Why did the president of Jewel Entertainment change people?”

“I don’t know…”

“I haven’t got wind of anything. Isn’t that girl very popular in the entertainment industry recently who is called… called Gu Chuzheng?”

“I know her. Some rumors said she has a sugar daddy…”

“It isn’t true. I heard that it was the Gao Family who framed her? I wonder what kind of enmity Gao Xueyun has with her.”

“The President of Jewel Entertainment has a sugar daddy? Is this a joke? How much money does that person need?”

Discussion arose within the surroundings and was especially ear-piercing when it drifted into that man and Liu Manman’s ears.

President… President of Jewel Entertainment…

The man wiped off his cold sweat. Earlier, Xie Zhou had called her President Gu so that means he had already known that…

“President Xie, is she really the President of Jewel Entertainment?” Liu Manman had a curious look as she hugged Xie Zhou’s arm.

“Hmm.”

After she got his confirmation, Liu Manman’s expression turned nasty.

‘How could she be the President of Jewel Entertainment? Could it be she was lying to me about the things I knew about her previously?’

The whispers had not bothered Chuzheng as though what was happening in the surroundings had nothing to do with her.

The noise had only quietened down when the auction ceremony began.

There were many great items sold in the auction ceremony. Chuzheng flipped through the brochure she got at the entrance and it stated the items up for bidding later.

But the last three items had a question mark on it.

Today, many people had probably come for these three items.

Chuzheng was not interested in such events. If it was not for the mission Bastard gave, she would not have come.

“Later, if you have anything that you like, just bid.” Chuzheng passed the bidding number plate to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu was shocked. “…”

This scene was like the idol dramas on television shows.

But the problem was… he was a man!

Why did she not feel it was inappropriate to say such words?

Su Jiu had not dared to raise the bidding plate. Moreover, all these items were mere worldly possessions and he had not entered the entertainment industry to make money.

Su Jiu lowered his head and spun the bidding plate in boredom.

“Raise.”

Su Jiu suddenly heard Chuzheng’s voice and froze. At the next second, his wrist was held by someone and the bidding plate was raised.

Su Jiu looked towards the stage. It was a three million dollars painting…’She liked that?’

When Chuzheng’s side raised their plate, Liu Manman raised theirs as well.

Initially, there were still some people who followed after, but slowly, no one raised except for Chuzheng and Liu Manman as the price skyrocketed up.

Liu Manman came with Xie Zhou so it was definitely with Xie Zhou’s signal that gave her the guts to do it.

Xie Zhou had many women by his side so to squander money for a woman was not new to him.

But the new President of Jewel Entertainment was… so wealthy too?

“Nine million dollars!” Liu Manman’s voice suddenly rang.

Chuzheng looked towards Liu Manman and Liu Manman smirked provocatively.

“President Gu, nine million dollars doesn’t seem worth it…” Su Jiu reminded her.

That painting’s base price was only three million dollars.

Chuzheng held his hand and raised the bidding plate again. “Ten million dollars.”

There was a huge uproar as that was the highest bidding price so far.

Everyone looked towards Liu Manman yet Liu Manman had no intention of raising the bidding plate.

In that instant, everyone had some pity towards Chuzheng. ‘Was she tricked?’

Su Jiu pulled Chuzheng’s hand and grabbed it with his two hands. “President Gu, Liu Manman is agitating you on purpose…”

“I know.” ‘Should I have to give her a medal and thank her for being so helpful.’

“If you knew, then why did you still…”

“I have the money.”

“…”

The people who sat around Chuzheng were covered in shame.

So what if you have the money!

Which family’s darling daughter was this!

Does your family know you are a prodigal!

Su Jiu’s gaze fell on his hand. He had not noticed just now, but now when he noticed, his fingers seemed to have frozen.

The warm touch under his fingers made Su Jiu find it hard to let go.

He gulped down his saliva and glanced at Chuzheng. Chuzheng suddenly raised her other hand and fondled his head.

Su Jiu’s ears were tinted red, but luckily, the lights were dim and others could not see it.

With that touch, Su Jiu had forgotten to let go of Chuzheng’s hand.

Later on, whenever Chuzheng raised her bidding plate, Liu Manman would definitely follow up, but would give up once the price was high.

Chuzheng accepted it without question and was very grateful to Liu Manman for helping her to be a prodigal.

Those who sat far away had thought that Chuzheng was a person who was rash yet those who sat near her knew that she knew everything and just had lots of money to spare.

[Congratulations Little miss for completing the mission! Your reward of fifty million dollars is now in your bank account.]King’s cheerful voice rang. [Little miss is so awesome!]

Chuzheng returned a cold smile to King.

[…]Why was she still not happy even after I praised her! Little miss is so hard to please. I’m shivering in the cold!

For the last three mystery items in the auction, many people became serious.

Xie Zhou had obviously come for the last three items in the auction too as Liu Manman had to wait for his confirmation before raising the bidding plate.

The price of the last item had skyrocketed and passed the twenty million dollars mark.

Moreover, many had not given up and looked determined.

Many others paid attention to Chuzheng as they wondered if this rich President of Jewel Entertainment would join in.

“Twenty-five million dollars going once.”

“Twenty-five million dollars going twice.”

“Thirty million.” Su Jiu’s clear voice traveled through the whole conference hall as he raised the bidding plate.

“Thirty-two million!” Liu Manman followed up.

“Forty million.” Su Jiu’s voice was quivering as it was a little absurd.

“…”

Others had always added on from the lowest price yet she straightaway added ten million…

Liu Manman gritted her teeth as anger and hatred filled her heart and she acted on her own accord. “Forty-two million.”

Su Jiu looked at Chuzheng hesitantly and Chuzheng motioned at him to continue. “Fifty million!”

Xie Zhou pulled Liu Manman back and wanted her to stop yet Liu Manman was faster than him and shouted, “Sixty million.”

After she said that, she had not decided to follow as according to just now, she felt that Chuzheng would definitely follow up.

Yet she had waited for a long time and there was no movement from Chuzheng’s side.

Liu Manman started to panic.

“Sixty million going once.”

“Sixty million going twice.”

“Sixty million dollars, sold!”

Liu Manman’s eyes widened as her face paled. ‘Why hadn’t she followed up? Hadn’t she always followed up?’

“President Xie… I…”

The last item had been sold off and the emcee gave the ending speech before others started to leave. Xie Zhou’s face had darkened as he stood up and left.

“President Xie.” Liu Manman hurriedly followed him. “Please listen to my explanation.”
