Chapter 149: Bidding (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The venue was silent for almost a minute. Lin Wanyue started to laugh, “What’s wrong with our various sponsors? Although the last season of Delicacythat Nan Zhi is in, did not perform too well, however, this new host is a great beauty. Could it be that everyone wants to see the beauty cry?”
Nan Zhi started to furrow her slender brows.
Lin Wanyue was definitely hiding a dagger behind that smile!
No one seemed willing to place a starting bid and the venue was completely silent, making the atmosphere very awkward. Xia Xi, who was sitting below in the audience, started to cry in anxiousness again.
Some of the sponsors started to joke around, without a regard that things were serious. “If Beauty Nan sheds a few tears, our company is willing to give 20 million to be your exclusive sponsor.”
His jesting words meant that Delicacy was only worth a 20 million sponsorship at most.
Nan Zhi’s long eyelashes trembled as she stared at the men with their malicious intentions. Lin Wanyue’s purpose for bidding with her was probably to see her embarrass herself!
In spite of the disparaging turn the bidding had taken, there were sponsors that were attracted by Nan Zhi’s hosting skills, even though they did not have high expectations for her show. A food company that sold dumplings raised their card to give 30 million.
A company immediately jumped in to give 30.01 million.
The dumplings company gave 40 million and that company immediately followed with 40.01 million.
It was clearly deliberate.
Someone laughed out loud in a mean manner and the mocking laugh seemed to echo throughout the hall.
Nan Zhi knew that the company was under Bo Corporation.
Nan Yao was very pleased. She knew that Bo Shaoxiu was retaliating on purpose for how Nan Zhi had treated her.
Didn’t Nan Zhi have a financier? It seemed like her guess was right. That man who was more handsome than Bo Shaoxiu, had to be financially supported by some rich lady. An exclusive sponsor required at least tens of millions. How could that man have so much money, when what he made was earned from selling his body?
“Beauty Nan, just cry once. If you cry, our company will give 50 million!”
“Beauty Nan’s tears are really expensive! Quick, just cry and shed a few tears! You might be able to attract more sponsors who have a tenderness towards woman, if you also weep and plead with us when you cry!”
“Haha... President Lee, do you think we all like to watch pretty girls cry like you?!”
“I know that you don’t like to watch pretty girls cry. You like to watch pretty girls strip...”
Nan Zhi glared coldly at the man who was sitting in the first row of the hall. Although he was dressed in a suit, he behaved like a despicable beast who thought only with his lower half.
“Beauty Nan, I’ll give 80 million if you strip! How about it? You’ll be tied with Lin Wanyue!”
Several people started to laugh in the hall. It had almost become like a circus with the way the sponsors were carrying on. At the same time, Zhuang Jingjing said loudly, “Nan Zhi, why don’t you just strip. That that, you can get an 80 million exclusive sponsorship. There’s no loss!”
The sponsors’ meeting was different from aristocratic banquets where the guest list was carefully curated with the end experience in mind. For the sponsors’ meeting, anyone could come as long as they had the money. There were people who were refined, and also those who were uncivilized brutes. President Zhou, who was the one who had asked Nan Zhi to strip, was definitely the latter. The man was someone who dared to say anything he wanted, without a care for where he was.
“Nan Zhi, I heard that you’re an unmarried mother?” Yu Xiaoting interrupted the conversation.
This comment sent a strong ripple of revulsion to the audience as the comments in the hall became louder. Immediately after, the gazes of more than several people towards Nan Zhi were filled with disdain and judgement.
As a single mother, this Nan Zhi was was definitely a man’s mistress or had a promiscuous life, seeing she had an illegitimate son. How shameless! To think this kind of woman dared to stand on stage to request money from them!
Seeing the wave of negativity permeate the hall, the dumplings company immediately retracted their intention to be the exclusive sponsor for Nan Zhi’s show.
Nan Zhi stared at Nan Yao coldly. Nan Yao sent her a pleased, yet provoking smile that looked exactly the same as the expression she had when she leaned into Bo Shaoxiu’s embrace four years before.
It was the gaze of a winner.
Han Mo did not think that things would become like this. She picked up the microphone to try to turn the situation around. Suddenly, a clear and charismatic voice boomed out across the hall, “One hundred million.”
