Long Fei nodded faintly at the auctioneer, thinking to himself, "It's just 1.2 million, is there really a need to get so excited?"
The auctioneer exclaimed with joy, "1.2 million! This gentleman is willing to bid 1.2 million. Is there anyone else who would like to raise the bid?"
The crowd was abuzz, but who would want to be that fool?
The auctioneer banged the copper hammer with a smack, and after three strikes, it was officially sold.
A beauty dressed in a cheongsam brought over a glass of red wine with graceful steps and offered it to Long Fei as she bent over respectfully.
The auctioneer also bowed to express his respect, saying, "Let us give a round of applause for this generous gentleman. Thanks to him, thousands of orphans in Binhai City will have an egg and a cup of milk every morning."
The applause was sparse, with most people looking at Long Fei with an expression reserved for a country bumpkin.
Only a few people gave Long Fei a thumbs up, nodding in acknowledgment.
