314 Old Master Cui Appears
Old Master Cui did not deliberately hide it, as long as someone asked around, they would know that the Cui family looked for a master.
However, what they did not know was that Old Master Cui had long found someone who could treat his grandson’s illness.
“Since when can the price of an auction be negotiated at will? This is not a market.”
His mocking words also carried a pressure that could not be ignored. No one dared to refute Old Master Cui’s words, nor did anyone dare to talk back to him.
Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, the manager backstage hurriedly stood up and gestured for the woman on stage to leave. He went to the center of the stage and coughed into the microphone.
“This is our auction’s negligence. Everything that happened just now was that woman’s doing on her own. Our auction definitely doesn’t have that intention! It’s even more impossible to bargain! Everyone will auction fairly. Young Master Zhang, if you can’t buy the necklace for ten million, our Ghost Market will accompany you to the end and strip the Zhang Family of their right to auction in the Ghost Market.”
The manager’s expression was cold. Zhang Yue could not say anything. He did not dare to go against Old Master Cui.
“But it’s not my fault.”
He braced himself and said, hoping that Old Master Cui would be fair. The person in that room was definitely a helper. He could not admit defeat.
“Old Master Cui, I know you’re respected, so you’ll definitely uphold justice for me, right?”
Zhang Yue did not know Old Master Cui’s att.i.tude, so he could only gain the upper hand and flatter him. This way, he would not be unreasonable with his power.
He thought very well, but his intentions were too obvious. How could Old Master Cui not know what he was thinking? He hated juniors who schemed against him the most. His tone became much more serious. “What do you mean? Are you questioning the auction or me?”
Old Master Cui did not give Zhang Yue a chance at all. His question rendered Zhang Yue speechless.
“That’s not what I meant…”
He deliberated and spoke, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Old Master Cui.
“You speak about justice, but where’s your sense of justice? You accused a girl of being a helper of the auction. Why don’t you give her justice?”
Zhang Yue’s expression froze, and he felt indignant. Old Master Cui was the person behind the ghost market. It seemed like he was destined to uphold justice for the auction. He could only suffer in silence now.
“Old Master Cui, it’s my fault. I apologize. I’ll buy this necklace for ten million.”
At this point, it was impossible to buy the necklace for four million yuan.
He gritted his teeth and looked at the security captain in front of him. He handed him a card. Although he was apologizing, it sounded a little mocking. “It’s my fault for misunderstanding your auction.”
He sounded very dissatisfied with this outcome, but there was nothing wrong with the literal meaning.
Old Master Cui snorted. He took the initiative to appear because the girl in the private room beside him sounded very similar to Gu Man. Secondly, he could not stand Zhang Yue.
This kid was clearly still engaged to Gu Man, but he hung out with Gu Rou all day. He simply did not care about Gu Man.
Although it was impossible for Old Master Cui to agree to Gu Man and Zhang Yue’s marriage, it was another matter for Zhang Yue to hug other women during the engagement.
The engagement between the two of them had yet to be annulled, but he did not care about Gu Man’s dignity. He was simply arrogant.
No matter how he looked at Zhang Li, he was unhappy. His appearance was average, and his character was not good. He had seen how happy he was when he raised the price of the necklace just now. However, once such a thing happened to him, he was unwilling. His character was worrying and he was not worth entrusting.
After this incident, Zhang Yue was too ashamed to continue staying at the auction. He hurriedly paid the bill, took the necklace, and left the auction.
But even after he left, the Zhang family became a joke to everyone.
After all, Zhang Yue had lost a lot of face at the auction this time and had even provoked Old Master Cui. The Zhang family would probably not have a good time in the future.
Some people who had a cooperative relationship with the Zhang family took this opportunity to call the Zhang Family to sever ties to avoid being implicated.
