114: The auction

The auction

0Qin Yan entered the auction hall with Wu Qi and got a seat. She could hear the mocking of Starlight Entertainment's artists by Skylark Entertainment.

When the female assistant mocked the artists of Starlight Entertainment, the surrounding people all quickly chimed in. "Of course! Shao Heng has Skylark Entertainment supporting him! No matter how arrogant Gong Tianhao once was, he has no choice but to lower his head before Shao Heng."

The female assistant crossed her arms across her chest and coldly looked over everyone. "Since when could just anyone be mentioned in the same breath as my Shao Heng?"

As soon as Ling Shaozhe heard that, he took the chance to go up with an ingratiating expression. "What are you saying, Sister Ying? How could pieces of trash like this compare to Brother Shao? Nowadays, the Starlight Entertainment only barely manages to hold on because they have a god like Brother Shao with them!"

When enemies met, anger boiled over. Ling Shaozhe's eyes were brimming with hatred as he looked at Fang Wen and Gong Tianhao.

Back when they filmed Terrifying Dragon together, he exploded with popularity while Fang Wen remained anonymous. One soared to the heavens while the other remained on the ground.

Later though, Xu Dong actually managed to make a piece of trash like Fang Wen popular while his reputation became ragged.

If it weren't for the fact that he habitually flattered and curried favor with people, he would've been shelved already.

In front of Shao Heng, Xu Dong was nothing!

The female assistant was somewhat mollified. She derisively looked at Gong Tianhao and his group. "You're right! This whole gang has to rely solely on Brother Heng but they're acting so ungrateful! They're seriously heartless and wretched!"

Shao Heng was currently skillfully navigating his way through the honorable guests and chatting with them. He noticed the situation with his assistant but had no intention of stopping them.

Jiang Xun almost snapped with fury at these absolutely distorted words.

"How can these people be so shameless? It's clearly Shao Heng who's latching onto our company like a leech…"

At this time, Gong Tianhao jubilantly turned to Qin Yan and walked over, "Sister, you are really here!"

"Who is Gong Tianhao talking to?"

"I don't know, have you seen this lady before?"

"Is she Gong Tianhao's girlfriend? He is so arrogant but he still made this average looking girl as his girlfriend!"

"But how did she enter the auction hall?"

"Yeah, that blows my mind too. When can any nobody enter the auction hall?"

All kinds of speculations arised after Gong Tianhao spoke to Qin Yan.

Nearly everyone's eyes were pulled toward Qin Yan.

However, the girl acted like she didn't notice anything. She leisurely spoke to Gong Tianhao.

"Yes, I just came to observe," Qin Yan nonchalantly replied to Gong Tianhao.

"You can go back to your buddies. Don't worry about me," Qin Yan reminded Gong Tianhao.

Gong Tianhao was confused hearing Qin Yan's words. He didn't understand what this girl was trying to do. First she saved him, then came to the auction to observe. What the hell did she want!

Gong Tianhao left in a confused state.

At this time, the host had already stood on stage and announced the start of the auction, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today we have gathered here for the auction of Starlight Entertainment. I welcome all the esteemed guests here in the bidding process."

Qin Yan looked at Wu Qi and nodded. Wu Qi was a very mysterious person and thus nobody could guess that he was the CEO of the top special effects company in the country.

Wu Qi showed a thumbs up sign in the direction of Qin Yan.

"The starting price of the bid is 50 million yuan," the host announced.

When Ji Lingchen and others heard the price, the felt that they had been slapped hard in their faces. How can their company be valued so less!

Tears appeared in their eyes when they felt this humiliation. But without Xu Dong, they could not do anything.

The moment this price was announced, it caused a small commotion.

Most of the people present were young politicians or rich young masters. Some of them wanted to bid despite knowing that Skylark Entertainment would eventually win the bid.

"55 million." One person raised his sign.

At this moment, the others followed suit.

"60 million."

"65 million."

"75 million."

A fair competition was going on but till now Skylark Entertainment's representative had not picked up any sign.

The bid reached 90 million at this time.

"90 million yuan once.

"90 million and one yuan twice…"

"100 million yuan."

The sign was up from Skylark Entertainment's side.

"Heh, 100 million is too high price for this wretched company."

"Yes, they are no more of any value."

"If it wasn't because Shao Heng wants this company, Skylark wouldn't have been interested in it."

"100 million yuan once.."

"100 million yuan twice.."

"200 million yuan," Wu Qi raised his sign.

Everyone looked over at Wu Qi. Who was this man? Is he mad to compete with Skylark Entertainment! Also did he have so much money or is he just joking here.

"Young man, this is an auction. It isn't a joke that you can make by raising any amount. If you win, you have to pay," an elder reminded Wu Qi kindly.

Wu Qi looked over at the elder and smiled, "Don't worry sir, I know what I am doing."

Every person in the auction heard the conversation between Wu Qi and the elder man. The faces of people from Skylark Entertainment darkened.

"250 million yuan," the Skylark representative bidded.

"350 million yuan," an indifferent voice that could shock everyone sounded. It was Wu Qi again. He was raising the stakes by 100 million yuan everytime.

Shao Heng looked over with a dark expression. 'Where did this mad dog come from!'

"400 million yuan." The representative of Skylark gritted his teeth and raised his bid. This was nearing the limit that he was given. But since Director Shao signalled him to continue, he continued.

"500 million yuan." Wu Qi's cold voice sounded again.

The audience gasped. This person was literally a madman. Some people even thought that he was just here to put Skylark Entertainment in loss.

Director Shao hesitated this time. 500 million was his limit. He couldn't squander more money on Starlight Entertainment. He took out his phone and dialled a number.

"Mr. Wu Jingcheng, someone is causing trouble in the auction process now. Can you help me out to deal with him?"

Wu Jingcheng picked up the call and heard the other party before replying mercilessly, "Get lost. The Hongxing Gang has nothing to do with Skylark Entertainment from now on."

The call was then hung up.

Director Shao was dumbfounded. 'What happened just now? Did I dial the wrong number this time?' he wondered.

He then checked the call log and confirmed that the number was correct. He could not believe what was happening. Before he could contact any other person of Hongxing Gang, he received a message.

Seeing the message, he knew that he was done for. Hongxing Gang had really broken all the relations with Skylark Entertainment.

Shao Heng did not see the incredulous expression on his grandfather's face. He urged, "Grandfather..."

Director Shao looked at the anticipation in his grandson's eyes and sighed. He dotted on this granddon the most. Since Hongxing Gang had refused to support them, he had to rely on his own.

Gritting his teeth, he signalled to the representative.

"550 million yuan," from Skylark Entertainment's side.

On the other side, the mouths of Ji Lingchen and others were hung open.

They wondered who Wu Qi was and why was he trying to acquire their company.

Gong Tianhao had told them about Qin Yan and they now knew who was the girl who rescued Gong Tianhao back then.

They subconsciously looked at Qin Yan when they noticed her looking towards them as well.

Qin Yan smiled at them. Although her face was average, the smile and her eyes captivated the hearts of Ji Lingchen and others. Their minds and hearts subconsciously calmed down making them get a feeling that everything would be alright.

Qin Yan looked at the artists and felt a pity in her heart. The most loyal and honest people had to suffer so much in the hands of evil people of Skylark Entertainment. She would absolutely not allow it. She continued to toy with Skylark Entertainment.

"650 million yuan," Wu Qi raised his bid again.

At this moment, Director Shao's face turned black. He could not increase the bid anymore. Otherwise, the Skylark Entertainment would go bankrupt sooner or later.

All the artists and managers of Skylark Entertainment who were in attendance felt their faces slapped. They looked over at Director Shao in unison.

Director Shao regretted his actions now. He thought that Starlight Entertainment was in his pocket and nobody would dare to compete with him on this matter. So he jad invited all the A-listers of his company to the auction to feel the magnificence of Skylark Entertainment. But the tables had turned now.
