Chapter 1466: No Need To Calculate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The strange man who made the offer looked very unfamiliar. n.o.body knew who he was. He wasn’t from the wealthy scene or the entertainment industry.
“Who is this man?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know him.”
“I’ve never met him.”
!!
“Did Su Bei hire him to save her dignity?”
Feng Ze’s expression did not change. “80 million and one thousand.”
“A hundred million!” The man behind him was equally determined.
At this moment, it was difficult for everyone to say that Su Bei was hyping herself up. The price had already reached this amount. Obviously, no matter who spent the money on Su Bei, she had already crushed everyone present.
This record also crushed everyone who had partic.i.p.ated in the previous charity auctions.
After this, no one would be able to surpa.s.s her record.
And the price had clearly not stopped. The stranger and Feng Ze were still bidding.
Su Bei glanced back at the strange man and recognized him.
She took her phone back from Feng Ze and opened the conversation page with Da Bao. [Da Bao, that’s enough! Your people are bidding too fiercely! Can you slow down?]
Da Bao replied: [I don’t want the painting to be taken away by someone else.]

The person behind had already called for 200 million. Feng Ze was about to continue when he saw the chat box on Su Bei’s phone screen from the corners of his eyes. He thought for a moment and stopped.
The auctioneer’s voice trembled with excitement. “Su Bei’s painting has now been auctioned for 200 million! 200 million! This is the highest price in the history of this charity auction, no, in the history of all charity auctions! Someone will donate 200 million yuan to charity for Su Bei. On behalf of the organizers and the receivers of the donations, I’d like to thank you for your kindness. In particular, I would like to thank Miss Su Bei for her righteous act. Now, 200 million yuan once, 200 million yuan twice, 200 million yuan thrice! Deal!”
“Deal!” The gavel fell.
Su Bei’s painting was eventually bought by someone.
Su Bei put a hand to her forehead, not really wanting to talk.
The reporters below the stage had already aimed their microphones at the person who took the painting. “Sir, may I ask if you intend to collect Su Bei’s painting or have other uses for it?”
“Are you from the Lu family?”
“Are you a fan of Su Bei’s?”
The man said in a deep voice, “I’m not a fan of Su Bei. I’m here on behalf of someone named Mr. Su.”
Mr. Su… Su Zhuoqian… Da Bao.
Only Su Bei and Feng Ze understood the true meaning of this name.

As for the others, they were all guessing who Mr. Su was. Was he from the wealthy circle or the entertainment circle? However, after searching for a long time, they couldn’t seem to figure it out.
It wasn’t Lu Heting who helped Su Bei bid for the painting!
Someone offered 200 million yuan just to help Su Bei donate.
This was even more shocking than if Lu Heting were to appear!
Envy and jealousy!
That person went to the stage, left a check, and took Su Bei’s painting. Then, he walked straight to Su Bei and said respectfully, “According to our master, this painting is your favorite. After bidding for it, I’ll naturally give it to you, Miss Su. I hope you’ll accept it.”
“Thank your boss for me.” Su Bei accepted it calmly.
As a mother, she was receiving the item that her eldest son had bid for her youngest son.
“My boss’ pleasure,” the stranger said.
The auction was over.
Lu Tianqing’s expression was a little ugly. Her item was auctioned for 30 million yuan, but the popularity she enjoyed only lasted for five minutes before it was completely broken by Su Bei.
Be it the media or the audience, everyone was discussing how amazing Su Bei was and who Mr. Su was.
The netizens on Weibo were only interested in Su Bei.
Feng Ze walked out with Su Bei and said apologetically, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have kept raising the price tonight.”
‘So he knew he was being unreasonable when he kept raising the price that way too, huh?’
“It’s fine.” Su Bei glanced at his expression and couldn’t argue with him. Even if this personality didn’t know her at all, Feng Ze was still Feng Ze.
But what was wrong with Feng Ze? When he first appeared, he refused to be in the same room as her. Now that the event had ended, he was walking alongside her.
Xiao Bai and Xu Huirui ran toward Su Bei.
Xiao Bai’s face was pale. “Su Bei, I’m really sorry. I took the wrong painting. I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. I didn’t make myself clear.” Su Bei was just thinking about how Da Bao had spent so much money on Gun Gun.
But when she looked at the number on his bidding placard, it was actually very close to the front.
In other words, Da Bao had been preparing to partic.i.p.ate in this charity auction for a long time.
Even if Xiao Bai hadn’t taken Gun Gun’s painting but hers, Da Bao would definitely help her bid for it tonight.
Perhaps, because it was hers, he would be willing to pay a higher price.
Su Bei walked toward the underground parking lot. Sure enough, she saw a low-key luxury car with the Lu family’s car plate parked there.
After she got into the car, Da Bao put down his phone and said, “You’re back, Xiao Bei?”
“I brought back the painting. Little kid, do you know just how much 200 million is?”
“I do. It’s about half a ton of gold and 300,000 barrels of high-quality crude oil.” Da Bao thought for a moment and gave the answer.

“So you just spent half a ton of gold on this painting, kid.”
Da Bao looked at Su Bei. “Xiao Bei, you said that there’s no need to worry about gains and losses when doing charity. This sum of money is enough for at least 20,000 children to study and live for a year.”
That was true.
Su Bei did not want to discourage him from doing charity. “However, the amount is too much. Leave charity work to the adults. It’s the responsibility that the adults have to bear.”
“Okay, I understand.” Da Bao gave her a smile.
Su Bei reached out and ruffled his hair. “Then let’s make a deal, Mr. Su.”
Mr. Su smiled sheepishly and blushed.
Su Bei didn’t ask him where the money came from. If he could afford it, he naturally had the money.

Previously, when they were in the United States, Da Bao had learned how to invest from Feng Ze. It was said that his annual income was especially impressive.
Initially, Su Bei thought that he only earned a small amount of money. Now, it seemed that… he earned more than her.
In that case, it was really embarra.s.sing when she said that she wanted to earn more money to support her husband and children… Her husband didn’t need her to support him, and now her son didn’t need her to support him either.

“I still have to attend the banquet later. I’ll get the chauffeur to send you home first. Rest early.” Su Bei got out of the car.
After the charity auction, there would be a charity banquet as usual.
