Chapter 37 - jade pendant with dragon and phoenix

As soon as Zheng Guanghui heard this, a look of contempt appeared on his face. Actually, Ding Wenyou has no feud with him. It's just that this person is too fond of competing. For example, when Zheng Guanghui took Ling Feng as a live-in son-in-law, Ding Wenyou had to find one too. And he wouldn't stop until his live-in son-in-law was more capable than Ling Feng. But this person is extremely stingy and mean, which makes Zheng Guanghui really dislike him. In this auction bidding, they had been increasing the price by fifty thousand each time. But now that it was almost reaching a million, he suddenly called out ninety-eight thousand. Zheng Guanghui shook his head and was about to continue bidding, but was stopped by Ling Feng. Zheng Guanghui turned to look at Ling Feng. But he saw Ling Feng shaking his head, indicating that he should not increase the price anymore. Zheng Guanghui frowned in confusion. But he didn't have much money on him. If he continued to increase the price, he still couldn't beat Ding Wenyou. Moreover, in this way, the profit margin would be small. Plus the appraisal fee and various taxes, he wouldn't make much money.

"Why don't you continue bidding?" When Ding Wenyou saw that Zheng Guanghui stopped increasing the price, he immediately turned around and asked with a grin. "Are you out of money? If so, do you want me to lend you some?" Ding Wenyou looked at Zheng Guanghui even more arrogantly with a look of contempt.

"Me..." Zheng Guanghui was enraged and was about to stand up and increase the price. Ling Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed and hurriedly pulled him, preventing Zheng Guanghui from continuing to bid.

"Ling Feng, what are you doing?" Zheng Guanghui looked at Ling Feng angrily.

"Dad, calm down. If we continue to increase the price, we'll be out of money!" Ling Feng said with an embarrassed look. When Ding Wenyou heard this sentence, he was even more triumphant. The contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Trying to act rich without money? Just asking for humiliation!

At the same time, he saw Ling Feng whisper something in Zheng Guanghui's ear. Although he didn't hear what was said. But he saw that Zheng Guanghui finally sighed and looked helpless. Seeing this scene, Ding Wenyou was even more certain that Zheng Guanghui was really out of money. He only felt extremely pleased. Almost being outbid by him. After going back and forth like this, no one continued to bid. Ding Wenyou successfully won the ring.

"Lao Zheng, if you don't have money next time, don't pretend to be rich." Ding Wenyou taunted again. Then he proudly asked the expert to help appraise the price.

Soon, the appraisal result came out. According to the unanimous appraisal of the experts, the market price of this antique should be around six hundred thousand!

"What?" Ding Wenyou and Zheng Guanghui exclaimed in unison.

"Only six hundred thousand? Is there a mistake?"

The waiter responsible for delivering the appraisal report darkened his face and said, "Sir, are you doubting Professor Zhou's ability?" The expert who announced the price brought up Professor Zhou, immediately silencing Ding Wenyou. As soon as Zheng Guanghui heard that Professor Zhou thought it was only worth six hundred thousand, it must be correct. He couldn't help but look at Ling Feng strangely and remembered the whisper Ling Feng had said to him earlier...

"Let him be proud for a while. Later, he will regret it!" Earlier, he thought Ling Feng said this just to comfort him.

"Did you know it already?" Zheng Guanghui looked at Ling Feng. Ling Feng must have known it from the beginning. The words about doubling the profit within one million were just to lure Ding Wenyou into a trap. But Ling Feng just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Good, very good!" Ding Wenyou is not stupid either. After confirming that there was no problem with the price of the ring, he realized that he had been tricked. He was extremely unhappy and glared at Ling Feng and Zheng Guanghui viciously.

However, Ling Feng and Zheng Guanghui didn't even look at him. The two were chatting and laughing, looking in a great mood.

"Kid, you wait!" Ding Wenyou snorted coldly. Revenge is a must for a gentleman.

The auction continued. But for the next few items, either they were too ordinary or too expensive. Ling Feng analyzed one item after another for Zheng Guanghui. Zheng Guanghui also didn't bid. Zhang Minhai beside them was also listening and nodding slightly. From the age, workmanship to the details, he said them all accurately. Immediately, he had a much better impression of Ling Feng and thought this young man was quite capable.

"The next item is this dragon-phoenix jade pendant. The starting price is one hundred thousand. Each increase must be at least ten thousand!" As soon as the dragon-phoenix jade pendant was put on display, Ling Feng's eyes immediately focused.

"Dad, this item can be bid on!"

"Okay!" As soon as Zheng Guanghui saw that this item started at only one hundred thousand, he didn't hesitate and bid directly.

"I bid one hundred and fifty thousand!" Because of the previous incident, he was in a great mood and increased the price by fifty thousand as soon as he bid.

"I bid two hundred thousand!" Ding Wenyou, who hadn't bid since he bought the first ring at a loss, also bid again. Zheng Guanghui turned to look at him. But he saw that the other party was also looking back with a sneer.

"Are you trying to mess things up?" Zheng Guanghui frowned slightly and asked coldly.

"Haha, Zheng Guanghui. Who said that after you bid, I can't bid?" Ding Wenyou sneered coldly. Zheng Guanghui was right. Ding Wenyou was indeed deliberately causing trouble. Having been tricked earlier and losing several hundred thousand. If he didn't take revenge for this, he wouldn't be called Ding Wenyou.

"I bid two hundred and fifty thousand!" Zheng Guanghui refused to be outdone.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

...

Neither of them was willing to back down. Soon, Ding Wenyou raised the price to a high price of eight hundred and eighty thousand.

This time, Zheng Guanghui didn't bid directly but hesitated. He knew a little about antiques but didn't see the specialness of this dragon-phoenix jade pendant.

"Why, Zheng Guanghui. Are you out of money again?" When Ding Wenyou saw that Zheng Guanghui didn't continue bidding, he immediately became anxious. He also couldn't see what was special about this dragon-phoenix jade pendant. If he really spent eight hundred and eighty thousand to buy it, it would definitely be a huge loss. The reason he offered this price was just to get back at Zheng Guanghui. But if Zheng Guanghui didn't continue, then this item would be stuck in his hands. Thinking of this, he immediately had a feeling of being unable to express his bitterness, just like "a mute eating bitter melon". The key is that he can't blame others because all of this was his own initiative. Could it be that this kid deliberately tricked him? Ding Wenyou looked at Ling Feng beside Zheng Guanghui with lingering fear, afraid that this was also Ling Feng's trap. But when he saw that Ling Feng was still persuading Zheng Guanghui to continue increasing the price, he immediately felt relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't deliberately targeting him. Otherwise, this kid would be too terrifying!

"I bid one million!" Under Ling Feng's persuasion and seeing that the item was about to fall into Ding Wenyou's hands, Zheng Guanghui finally decided to take a gamble.

Seeing this, Ding Wenyou finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to increase the price anymore. After confirming that no one else increased the price, the item was directly won by Zheng Guanghui. Zhang Minhai on the side couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that Ling Feng had misjudged this time. Ling Feng turned to look at Ding Youwen and asked with a deliberately surprised expression:

"Why don't you increase the price anymore?"
