At this moment, inside the quiet private Room No. 24.
Wang Qingyun, hearing no more bidding outside, sneered coldly and prepared to raise his bid.
Although his primary target this time was the Ghost Orchid, getting his hands on other rare treasures like the Phoenix Feather of Tang or the Tianyi Lotus would be quite desirable as well.
Of course, the premise was not to exceed the market price by too much.
“Hm? Why haven’t I heard a bid from Room No. 6 for a while? Are they out of money?”
Wang Qingyun suddenly thought of Room No. 6, which had just lit the sky lantern. His previously relaxed brows furrowed tightly again.
In the flower and plant industry, it had always been him putting others in a tough spot. But earlier, for the first time, someone had forced him to swallow his pride.
This made him quite displeased, but even so, Wang Qingyun only cursed the other as a flashy clown in his heart. He didn’t dwell on it, as securing the rare flowers was his top priority.
Just as he was thinking this, the bidding bell outside suddenly rang.
“Ding!”
“Anonymous bidder in Room No. 6, Mr. Leng, bids 25 million!”
The bell instantly echoed throughout the entire venue!
This brought the previously quiet Room No. 6 back into everyone’s view once again, and the name “Mr. Leng” resonated in everyone’s ears!
However, this sudden bid seemed to give Wang Qingyun, whose brows were already tightly knit, a vent for his anger.
His gaze darkened, and he wanted to see how far this Mr. Leng, who had already spent over 30 million on a sky lantern, could go in this auction.
“Ding!”
With a single bell, the price for the Tianyi Lotus, which had already reached its peak, began to soar again!
“Mr. Wang Qingyun from Exotic Flowers Trade, Room No. 24, bids 26 million!”
“Ding!”
“Anonymous bidder in Room No. 6, Mr. Leng, bids 27 million!”
“Ding!”
“Mr. Wang Qingyun from Exotic Flowers Trade, Room No. 24, bids 28 million!”
“Ding!”
“Anonymous bidder in Room No. 6, Mr. Leng, bids 29 million!”
…
The bells rang out rapidly across the hall!
When the price surpassed 30 million, everyone in the venue held their breath!
At this moment, the two fierce bidders from the last round were once again going head-to-head!
“Ding!”
“Mr. Wang Qingyun from Exotic Flowers Trade, Room No. 24, bids 30 million!”
“Ding!”
“Anonymous bidder in Room No. 6, Mr. Leng, bids 31 million!”
“Ding!”
“Mr. Wang Qingyun from Exotic Flowers Trade, Room No. 24, bids 32 million!”
Because the bells were ringing too rapidly, even though the auctioneer tried his best to keep up, his speed couldn’t match the pace of the bids.
Amidst the chaotic bells, the price skyrocketed!
Many people in the audience even stood up from their seats!
Very quickly, the price reached 35 million!
“Ding!”
“Mr. Wang Qingyun from Exotic Flowers Trade, Room No. 24, bids 35 million!”
When this price was announced, shock flashed in many people’s eyes!
35 million!
This price exceeded the market price by a staggering 10 million!
Many present didn’t even have net worths reaching 10 million!
The audacity of these two bidders was terrifying!
At this point, after Wang Qingyun raised the bid to 35 million, the hall fell into an unprecedented silence!
Everyone was waiting for Room No. 6’s response!
However, after several dozen seconds, Room No. 6 remained silent.
“Hmm? Backed down?”
The crowd was startled, but upon reflection, they understood.
After all, Mr. Leng had already spent over 30 million on the sky lantern in the last round and bid over 30 million again this time. His audacity was already incredibly bold!
A minute later, Wang Qingyun stepped out of Room No. 24.
With a cold expression on his face, he said loudly, “What? Not bidding anymore? Young man, I’m teaching you a lesson—there’s always someone better out there. Using cheap tricks to grab attention only makes you a clown, one who will never make it to the end!”
Everyone understood the target of Wang Qingyun’s words!
His arrogant declaration, backed by his 35-million-yuan bid, reverberated throughout the hall!
For a moment, the entire venue was silent; no one dared to respond to Wang Qingyun’s words.
However, after a brief silence, a calm laugh suddenly rang out.
“Heh.”
Then, the same cold voice from before followed.
“Teaching me a lesson? Very well, let me teach you a lesson then.”
At this moment, everyone seemed to sense something in that cold voice.
In an instant, everyone on the first floor stood up, and many on the second floor stepped out of their rooms, all eyes turning toward Room No. 6.
After a few seconds, the cold voice spoke again.
“Waiter!”
“Mr. Leng, I’m here, how can I assist you?”
The waiter’s voice trembled slightly, as if sensing what was about to happen.
“Light the lantern!”
The voice from the room was as calm and cold as ever.
Yet, as soon as it echoed through the hall, everyone immediately felt an overwhelming, reckless aura engulf the entire venue!
