My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 868: The Show Begins

Chapter 868 The Show Begins

Wu Tingyun secretly switched the auction item, and the intentions of his lowly act caused a huge stir at the scene.

Tang Jian’an was also embroiled in a battle of wits with his nine elite allies.

Over at Chu Group, they naturally despised the reckless and audacious Wu Tingyun.

"This move is truly brilliant."

"No wonder it’s the idea of the big shots, directly pushing Chu Group into the spotlight of public opinion. This time, Chu Group is destined to face disaster, bringing out such a worthless item in front of everyone is truly embarrassing. It won’t be long before news about Chu Group being stingy will spread everywhere, and then under the pressure of massive public opinion, the predicament that Chu Group faces will be catastrophic."

"Even if Chu Group tries to defend that the broken porcelain isn’t the auction item they presented, it’s indefensible."

The business elites on Tang Jian’an’s side began to mock.

Anyone with half a brain can see what that broken porcelain is worth, there’s no need to doubt. If someone lacks this bit of discernment, they’re blind.

"Is it the simplicity of the grand principle? Is there any mystery in this?"

"Logically speaking, even a strand from Chu Group would contribute immensely to charity."

"But this porcelain, it’s so ordinary, there’s nothing commendable about it, just like the jars used for pickling in rural areas, inside a specialized store, there are countless of such porcelains."

"Something’s not right, I suspect this is a ploy by other tycoons against Chu Group."

"The rumors about the nine tycoons targeting Chu Group aren’t baseless."

"What clever scheming, Tang Jian’an and the others are using us as pawns, binding us to their interests, wanting to report Chu Group’s various faults through us. Although the facts before us aren’t the real truth, we who are in the know, can only report what we see. Even if there’s room for imagination, we don’t dare to fabricate their exclusion of Chu Group, besides, we don’t have the guts to report their faults either."

The reporters were stunned, among them were insightful ones, often engaged in such reporting, naturally they saw the intrigue, but seeing is one thing, reporting it is another.

Wu Tingyun watched the crowd’s reactions with a smile, feeling deeply satisfied. All these were his tactics, how could he not be pleased?

What he didn’t know was, the despicable idea he came up with out of personal grievance had provoked dissatisfaction from Tang Jian’an. They could target Chu Group, but for a lowly figure like Wu Tingyun to use them for personal vendettas against Chu Group was taboo, inviting calamity.

Tang Jian’an took the matter onto himself as Wu Tingyun’s mastermind, considering this an opportunistic move.

Tang Jian’an gained respect from Song Tianba and others, which fulfilled his vanity, yet even so, it couldn’t dispel his dissatisfaction towards Wu Tingyun.

If Song Tianba and others knew the truth, once Wu Tingyun steps down, he’d at least get a harsh punishment if not worse.

Targeting Chu Group was fine, but for a lowly figure like Wu Tingyun to dare to prance around and align with them, what qualification does Wu Tingyun have for that? Isn’t that seeking death?

Wu Tingyun only had the mindset of a petty man, he didn’t understand the world of tycoons. If he had guessed this, he would’ve been scared witless long ago.

At this moment, he scanned the room, chuckling, "The auction item presented by Chu Group is really extraordinary, I think it’s definitely a great piece. Please, everyone, bid enthusiastically and contribute to charity."

Anyone with half a brain could tell Wu Tingyun was speaking sarcastically, the mockery on his face was so obvious, who wouldn’t understand the meaning?

Wu Tingyun continued sarcastically, "As long as you’re not a fool, you understand the value of this porcelain. I won’t announce a base price, feel free to bid, bid more or less, depends on your mood."

The words were extremely malicious, if one bids high, they’re a fool.

If one bids low, they still risk being considered a fool.

A plant arranged beforehand by Tang Jian’an looked extremely uncomfortable, he was instructed to bid on Chu Group’s item to save face. Otherwise, anyone could see they were targeting Chu Group.

However, if Chu Group’s item was worth it, they could bid low to take it down, which would be a blow to Chu Group and provide an excuse to criticize them, but such a worthless item, if taken at the original price, would appear foolish.

This plant naturally looked unhappy. With Tang Jian’an stealing Wu Tingyun’s idea, without prior arrangements, the plant was in a pickle. Tang Jian’an grew increasingly dissatisfied with Wu Tingyun, now Wu Tingyun was showing signs of leading them by the nose, how could he be not angry?

"Lowly creature, no discernment at all." Tang Jian’an thought coldly, deciding that he must give Wu Tingyun a harsh lesson after this.

"One million." The plant was stuck, without Tang Jian’an’s order, he could only follow the original instructions.

This price was more than a thousand times the value of the porcelain.

The reporters remained silent, thinking, it seems there are indeed many fools in this world, looking at the plant with rich expressions. But they dared not say this aloud, guessing the subtle struggles among the tycoons, they could only do their job without the courage even to discuss it.

Song Tianba and others vaguely sensed something wrong, but for the moment they couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

Wu Tingyun had also come to his senses a bit, realizing he had overplayed his part, and dared not wantonly criticize Chu Group anymore. To call the plant a fool would be utterly senseless.

Hastily, he said, "It seems there are still enthusiastic people contributing their sincerity to charity. It shows our world still has love, right? I suggest, please clap your hands to pay high respect and greetings to our benevolent gentleman."

Wu Tingyun could only try to recover from his foolishness.

He didn’t ask if there were other bidders, he knew there weren’t.

"One million first bid, one million second bid, one million..." Wu Tingyun’s loud voice spread out, people inwardly indifferent, they only gloated over Chu Group’s plight, no one held any sympathy.

Suddenly.

Wu Tingyun’s third call was interrupted.

"One billion!" Tang Jian’an bid as if his butt was on fire.

"Five billion, oh no, I also bid ten billion." Guo Xiong’s eyes were red from urgency.

With the two big shots making their bids.

The scene was instantly dumbfounded.

Collective shock.
