Yun Ruyi was a professional fragrance designer after all, so she had a good grasp of the ins and outs of the industry.
Master Bai Mi was a reputed fragrance designer who had never shown his face in public and no one knew his gender. Rumors had it that he was a mysterious man close to 50 years of age. He was a loner who shunned contact with the outside world and did not work for any company. Hence the fragrances that he designed were truly unique.
His fragrances not only captured the hearts of many, more importantly, but they also had medicinal effects. For this reason, his reputation spread very quickly, and even people who were not familiar with fragrances had heard of him and respectfully called him the “Miracle Doctor within the world of fragrance design”.
To think that such an impressive person would send their work in to be auctioned!
And even so, the starting bid was so low!
When comparing this to the starting bid of her daughter’s fragrance, Yun Ruyi suddenly felt thoroughly shamed by all the stares that she was now receiving. Not to mention her daughter, who had quickly turned pale as a sheet. The girl kept her head down, not daring to lift her chin even a little.
As for the husband… she didn’t even dare look his way. Given how he abhorred any hint of embarrassment, the mother and daughter pair would get a good dressing down from him for sure when they got home.
As expected, the perfume saw a round of heavy bidding from the people.
Very quickly, the price rose from 200 thousand to 6 million.
Within another three seconds, it rose to 10 million.
From his position at the back of the room, Black Chicken let out a chuckle.
“Boss…” He called out to the girl cautiously. She was still absorbed in the game. He continued, “Look at how angry your father is.”
Tang Qianmiao continued to ignore him.
The bid was still going strong…
“10.3 million!”
“10.8 million!”
“100 million.”
A male voice like the crystal-clear wind cut through the noisy bidding. Suddenly the room fell silent.
It was then that Tang Qianmiao’s fatty snake smashed against the wall again and died.
She finally looked up, towards the back of Feng Xian’s head.
Haha.
This guy had got to be crazy.
Black Chicken’s jaw dropped. Then he gave himself a slap and closed his mouth. “Boss, Feng Xian… isn’t that a little… does he really want the perfume that much…”
Tang Qianmiao did not reply. She merely raised her card and called out, “200 million.”
Immediately, everyone turned to look at her.
This girl again!
Lin Wenyu bit her lip, unable to come to terms with what was happening. All these wealthy and powerful people now had their attention on Tang Qianmiao, looking at her with curiosity and admiration.
But that attention clearly was meant to have been for her!
Right at this point, Feng Xian made yet another bid….
“300 million.”
Tang Qianmiao smiled to herself and casually raised the bid, calling out, “500 million.”
Everyone in the room was stumped by now. It was only a vial of perfume. Did it have to come to this? Wasn’t this price too ridiculous?
Just as everyone thought that surely Feng Xian was not going to fall for this, he raised his card again and called out, “800 million.”
The hall was so quiet now, one could hear the people breathing. They all knew it was no longer about a vial of perfume, but keeping up with appearances. It wouldn’t be surprising if it went on for a while longer.
But at this point, Tang Qianmiao suddenly fell silent and did not raise her card again.
In the end, the perfume went to Feng Xian.
The petrified Black Chicken shifted towards Tang Qianmiao and said, “Boss, you’re too evil.”
She had never intended to buy the item and was only raising the bid to strong-arm Feng Xian along. And worse, even though he knew it, Feng Xian played right into her hand.
Black Chicken did not understand why they did what they did.
Tang Qianmiao stared at the back of Feng Xian’s head, as though deep in thought about something. Then a look of interest appeared on her face.
The auction ended successfully. Once Tang Qianmiao made her payment, she took her pearl earrings and walked away. As the two of them were walking across the carpark, Tang Qianmiao suddenly halted and pricked her ears. She narrowed her eyes.
“Boss, what’s up?”
Tang Qianmiao threw him a glance and said, “Get me something to eat from that supermarket across the road.”
After she had gotten rid of Black Chicken, she slowly looked up. Around the corner, someone appeared.
“Eldest Young Miss, Sir would like to see you. Please come with me.”
