Chapter 573 My Sharp-Tongued Wife
The two young masters suddenly spoke up, interrupting the proceedings. The host, who was preparing to move on to the next item, had no choice but to stop abruptly, a polite but embarrassed smile appearing on her pretty face.
She didn't dare to offer any advice or dissuasion; such disputes between scions of wealthy families were not something a small-time host like herself could get involved in.
It's no exaggeration to say that she can't afford to offend any of the people in the auditorium right now.
"Young Master Zhao, Young Master Chen, please don't be anxious. President Qin hasn't made an offer yet; he probably just hasn't found something he likes..."
A chubby middle-aged man stood up and smiled as he smoothed things over. He was Liu Feilong, the initiator of today's charity auction, the director of the Donghe Community Subdistrict Office, and the chairman of Feilong Group.
His identity is somewhat special. Although he is not considered a member of the elite circles in Jingzhou, he is still a prominent figure in Jingzhou.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to organize such a large-scale charity auction and attract so many wealthy family heads to participate.
Although the main reason these people came was because of the prior rumors that the Admiral was coming, and it actually had little to do with Liu Feilong, the fact that he was able to get the Admiral of Jingzhou to come was itself a remarkable achievement.
It is against the rules for people within the system to engage in business, but Liu Feilong's situation is rather special.
Although the Feilong Group he founded appears to be named after him, it is actually the property of the entire Donghe community and is not privately owned.
This is precisely why Feilong Group has such a great advantage. Even though it has only been established for a few years, it has a very strong momentum and its assets are rapidly moving towards the 10 billion mark.
A net worth of 10 billion is a watershed moment.
Once you cross that line, your influence in the Jingzhou business district will be completely different.
So the host didn't dare to speak, but Liu Feilong didn't care.
But as the host, he naturally couldn't afford to offend either side, so he could only try to smooth things over and find an excuse for Qin Wanqing.
"Director Liu, you're mistaken. Today's auction isn't just any ordinary auction; it's a charity auction. Since everyone's here to do charity, what they buy doesn't really matter. In my opinion, some people simply don't want to do charity, and they certainly don't want to give you, Director Liu, or the Admiral any face!"
"Of course, I'm not talking about Wanqing. Wanqing has always been very sensible in this regard! But as the saying goes, even the most wise monarch can't withstand having treacherous and wicked people around him!"
Zhao Wuyai showed no sign of stopping while he was ahead; instead, he continued his sarcastic mockery.
As the eldest son of the Zhao family, he naturally had no need to give Liu Feilong face.
"Young Master Zhao is right! Some people have gotten lucky and infiltrated the circles of the wealthy families in Jingzhou, like a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel! These kinds of despicable people should be completely eliminated!"
Chen Feng, standing to the side, gritted his teeth and agreed. The Chen family was also a wealthy family, although not as powerful as the Qin or Zhao families, they didn't need to be afraid of Liu Feilong.
Moreover, they weren't targeting the director of Donghe Community, but rather "a certain petty person"!
Seeing Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng making trouble for the Qin family, the wealthy and powerful figures present did not get involved. After smiling, they continued to chat and drink tea in small groups during the pause.
Zhao Yanwang, the head of the Zhao family, even brought out a cigar. From this point of view, it is clear that Zhao Wuyai's liking to comb his hair back and smoke cigars is obviously imitating his father.
However, the eldest son of the Zhao family clearly only learned the basics. He was certainly good at being flashy, but his aura was far inferior to that of Zhao Yanwang.
Even if the head of the Zhao family just sat there quietly taking a puff of his cigar, he still exuded an aura of power and influence. He truly deserved to be one of the most important figures in Jingzhou!
"Young master, young master, those people surnamed Zhao and Chen say that there are bad apples and villains around Miss. Who are they talking about?"
Sitting next to Ye Bai, Shen Lu leaned her head closer and asked with a blank expression.
...This silly girl is hopeless.
Ye Bai was exhausted and could only sigh in the end, "Those two are insulting your son-in-law."
"what?"
Shen Lu was shocked, then furious.
"They dare to insult my son-in-law? I'll fight them to the death!"
As she spoke, the little girl stood up, revealing a fierce yet adorable expression, as if she wanted to rush over and teach Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng a lesson.
"Stop, stop, stop, don't be impulsive..."
Seeing this, Ye Bai could only laugh and cry as he pulled Shen Lu back. Today's occasion was not suitable for fighting, especially since the two of them hadn't even met yet.
But at the same time, Ye Bai also felt a warmth in his heart.
It wasn't for nothing that we spoiled this silly girl. Although she's not the brightest, she's really quick-witted and always ready to step up when something's wrong.
"Uncle!"
Shen Lu was still unwilling to give up. Those two bastards dared to curse her son-in-law in public. They simply didn't take her, the Great Demon King Lulu, seriously at all!
They must be taught a lesson!
"Lulu, sit down!"
Before Ye Bai could offer any further advice, Qin Wanqing gave a cold snort.
Although the little girl often dared to act coquettishly in front of Ye Bai, she still respected her young mistress and could only pout and choose to obey.
"Zhao Wuyai, Chen Feng, have I given you too much face? How the Qin family behaves is none of your business to tell us what to do."
"And do you even have the right to judge my man? The two of you combined aren't even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned cold, and she spoke indifferently.
"Beautiful! No wonder you're my sharp-tongued wife!"
Hearing Queen Qin's blunt retort, Ye Bai couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
He had originally planned to go up and slap Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng across the face, but now he realized that Qin Wanqing's two sentences were even more humiliating than if he had actually done it.
They showed no respect whatsoever to Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng!
"Qin Wanqing, you..."
Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng's faces instantly turned ashen, and they almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
The two of them combined aren't even worthy of carrying shoes for Ye Bai's good-for-nothing adopted son?
Is there any description more humiliating than this?
"Alright, alright, it's just a small matter, no need to make a fuss. If Miss Qin doesn't want to bid, she can leave it at that. This charity auction is entirely voluntary; we never force anyone..."
Liu Feilong wiped his sweat and tried to smooth things over again.
These scions of wealthy families were practically his ancestors; he had to treat each of them with the utmost respect.
It's not that he's afraid of the other party, but if Feilong Group wants its business to continue to grow, it's best not to offend these powerful families in Jingzhou.
Especially Queen Qin, she is a powerful figure who truly wields influence. Even though she is no longer the president of the Qin Group, her status is comparable to that of the heads of wealthy families, far beyond what Zhao Wuyai and Chen Feng, these two playboys, can compare to.
"Director Liu, I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean by 'if you don't want to bid, then you don't have to bid'? If everyone is like the Qin family, I don't think there's any point in continuing this charity auction!"
Zhao Wuyai seized upon the loophole in Liu Feilong's words and began to counterattack.
Although he was furious with Qin Wanqing, he didn't dare to argue back and could only vent his anger on others.
It wasn't because he was afraid of Queen Qin, but because, as one of the three most devoted admirers, he still hadn't given up on his feelings for the most beautiful woman in Jingzhou.
If a simp dares to talk back to a goddess, then he's no longer a simp.
"Who said we weren't going to bid? I was just distracted for a moment, which allowed you to get a little bargain. If I had actually made an offer, you would have been scared out of your wits."
Ye Bai pursed his lips and said.
"Heh, you really don't know how to talk big! A poor bastard like you can scare us to death? You really dare to dream!"
"Alright then, I won't bully you. As long as you name your price, I'll pay ten times as much. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Zhao Wuyai sneered disdainfully.
"Are you serious?"
Ye Bai's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
