Chapter 1084: Auction a Hug

It was undeniable that Chen Mengyan was more outstanding than any of the previous models. She had no trace of foundation but was still beautiful; she overshadowed the previous models.

"This thumb ring is made with a first-rate imperial jade..." The host began to talk non-stop about the origins of the thumb ring in Chen Mengyan's hands...

The thumb ring had been regarded as a symbol of power since ancient times. Many people thought that the thumb ring became popular after the transition from Ming to Qing. In fact, it was misled by the TV series.

In the TV dramas of the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, there were few appearances of thumb rings. However, in the Qing shows, thumb rings were very common. It was often seen when the emperor rewarded the minister with a jade thumb ring, while some royal aristocrats used to wear thumb rings when they went out.

In fact, the thumb ring had already appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and it became popular in the Han Dynasty and the Warring States period. However, the Qing emperor ruled the empire on the back of a horse. He excelled at equestrian archery, and the thumb ring was an indispensable instrument for archery. The thumb ring worn on the hand during archery was placed on the thumb when it was used. When the bow was pulled, the bowstring was inserted into the deep groove on the back to prevent injury.

Therefore, it was pursued by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Emperor Qianlong. Thus, thumb rings were extremely popular during the Qing Dynasty.

Nowadays, the function of the thumb ring had been weakened, and more emphasis was placed on its aesthetics. However, the thumb ring was still a symbol of power. Some big bosses always liked to wear a thumb ring on their hands to show their wealth.

"And the person who finally gets this thumb ring will get a hug from our model, Little Yan!" Finally, the host shouted.

"Ah?" Chen Mengyan became dazed on the spot. She didn't expect the host to add such a condition at the last minute. During the rehearsal, there was no such thing!

In fact, almost all the models who participated in this kind of activity were psychologically prepared to play along following the circumstances. It was typical in this kind of social activity. No one would feel that there was anything wrong with it, so the host did not give any prior notice.

Most of these hugs and kisses were improvised and difficult to be arranged in advance.

" Oh ..." The people below the stage immediately became excited. They were used to the commonplace women. When they saw Chen Mengyan, who was so pure and pleasing, some people had already gotten eager to get into action and became determined to win.

"The starting price of this imperial jade is five hundred thousand yuan." The host was very satisfied with the situation in the audience, so he raised the starting price at the last minute. The original starting price was two hundred thousand yuan, and he instantly turned it into five hundred thousand yuan.

However, this did not stop the enthusiasm of the audience below the stage. When the host just announced the starting price, some people had already made a bid. "Six hundred thousand!"

The man who raised the placard was a pink-headed fat man in a suit and trousers. He had some style, but he had a lascivious gaze in his eyes which made Yang Ming particularly disgusted.

Motherf*cker, is my girlfriend for you to look at? Yang Ming thought resentfully. However, the person he hated the most was the host. Looking at Chen Mengyan's expression, it was obvious that she was unaware of it. It must be that this host had added such a hug at the last minute to excite the atmosphere.

Yang Ming pondered about the flying needle in his hand and secretly glanced at the host on the stage. It's not that I am too cruel, but you, kid, are really horrible . Yang Ming said in his heart.

"Seven hundred thousand!" Another man below the stage called out his price.

"Eight hundred thousand!"The fat man before did not want to be outdone, so he added a hundred thousand yuan.

However, the conflicts before this were all trivial. Everyone understood that the real buyer was coming from behind! Those who had not spoken yet could be the ultimate winner.

Sure enough, when the price climbed to one million, a man wearing golden-rimmed glasses sitting in the VIP seat among the audience opened his mouth. "Two million!"

" Wah !" The audience below the stage were stunned. This person actually added a million in a moment; he was really rich.

"Three million!" Another voice sounded. It was also a person in the VIP seats, but it was a young man in his twenties. He looked handsome and had good taste. He dressed casually and looked energetic. At first glance, he was a rich young master.

The young master proudly looked at the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and gave a gentleman's smile to Chen Mengyan on the stage.

However, how would Chen Mengyan still have the mood to look at the young master below the stage? Chen Mengyan was anxious to death. She wanted to get off the stage several times, but she was afraid to ruin the order and atmosphere of the auction!

Chen Mengyan was now extremely regretful. She just wanted to become a model to have some fun, but she did not expect it to become a dilemma!

Let Chen Mengyan hug an unfamiliar man? It was better to let her die! Chen Mengyan would never do this. She hoped that no one would buy this thumb ring, but the auction bidding was getting more and more intense.

"Five million!" The man with the gold-rimmed glasses did not show weakness, and faintly called his own price.

The look on the energetic young master's face changed. His brows furrowed, saying, "Six million!"

For a hug, they spent so much money. It was obviously not worth it. The energetic young master thought that if it could be exchanged for a night with a beautiful woman, it was still worthwhile.

Being such a heroic young master as myself, I should be the target of attention of these models, right? Thinking of this, the energetic young master was relieved.

When the energetic young master bid six million, the audience sighed! Even if this imperial jade was more expensive and even priceless, it couldn't be worth six million yuan. Obviously, the ultimate goal of the energetic young man was not the imperial jade, but Chen Mengyan's hug.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses did not seem to think that the energetic young master could bid such a high price, and was suddenly surprised. He began to figure out the gains and losses in his head. Obviously, spending millions to buy an imperial jade was too much.

However, the imperial jade was just an accessory. Both of them were fighting for Chen Mengyan's hug! The drinker is not really interested in the alcohol. Everyone present was well aware of that.

However, those who could bid at this price were only those who were really wealthy. The small bosses from before could only sigh. Who would take half of the family property to buy a hug?

Therefore, in the field of competition, there were only two people: the energetic young master and the man in gold-rimmed glasses.

"Six million and fifty thousand!" The man in gold-rimmed glasses gritted his teeth and bid a number that he could scarcely bear. Six million for him was basically his acceptable limit.

If he spent more money, he would probably be attacked by his brothers in front of his father once he went back. Therefore, the man in gold-rimmed glasses did not dare to increase the price anymore.

Although he also saved a lot of secret stash money from the company and kept it in the small vault, he could not let his brothers know. Once his secret stash was exposed, his status in front of their father was not guaranteed anymore. The company's inheritance rights would also become uncertain.

Moreover, six million was precisely the dividends of last year. It was the money that he deserved. So no matter what he did, no one would say anything.

Over there, the number bid by the energetic young master was also at his limit! The energetic young master participated in this jewelry exhibition with only ten million yuan of pocket money, two million of which had been squandered before the jewelry exhibition. Except for the hotel, dining, and other expenses, the money that was left was less than seven million. So, he couldn't use all of this money to buy this imperial jade. If that were the case, even if Chen Mengyan finally treated him exceptionally well, he had no money to spend with the beauty.

Therefore, the energetic young master must leave a portion of the money in his pocket. However, since he had already set a price of six million, he was determined to win. It had already reached the last moment. How could he lose?

"Six million one hundred thousand!" The energetic young master added another fifty thousand yuan more than the man with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Six million one hundred thousand, is there any price higher than six million one hundred thousand?" The host was so experienced; he naturally knew that the current price had basically reached its peak. Even if the price increased again, there was already no space for increment.

"Six million, one hundred and ten thousand!" The man in gold-rimmed glasses obviously was not reconciled and added another ten thousand.

"Six million, one hundred and twenty thousand!" The energetic young master added another ten thousand.

"Six million, one hundred and thirty thousand!" said the man in gold-rimmed glasses.

"Six million, one hundred and forty thousand!" said the energetic young master.

"Six million, one hundred and fifty thousand..." said the man in gold-rimmed glasses.

So, both of them increased the price by ten thousand and eventually reached six million two hundred thousand. The man in gold-rimmed glasses obviously had no more arrogance, but he still increased the price by the thousands. "Six million two hundred and one thousand!"

"Six million two hundred and two thousand!" No one expected that the energetic young master also couldn't endure it. He was also feigning more than his abilities at the moment.

Yang Ming looked at the bidding of the two people and felt a little amused. More than six million just to buy a hug from Chen Mengyan? What are you thinking...

While Chen Mengyan was anxious, Lin Zhiyun was also a little panicked. She wanted to call Yang Ming, but she remembered something when she touched her pocket. When she was changing clothes with Chen Mengyan, she was afraid that the phone would ring and affect the auction, so she put the mobile phone in the storage closet.

"Brother Yang, what should we do?" Bao Sanli was responsible for the safety of the auction. When he saw Chen Mengyan going on stage, he was also surprised. He was thinking about countermeasures, but then he saw Yang Ming.

"Let's keep watching." Yang Ming shrugged without hesitation.

"That just scared me!" Bao Sanli listened to Yang Ming and knew that he had a countermeasure. He immediately gave a sigh of relief. Initially, Bao Sanli thought about this. If anyone dares to do anything to Chen Mengyan, I will kill him.

"Ten million!" Yang Ming saw the gold-rimmed glasses man and energetic young master were almost done competing, and faintly bid a price.

In fact, in the eyes of Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan was priceless. Ten million couldn't even buy Chen Mengyan. However, Yang Ming now had to use money to buy a hug from Chen Mengyan.

Yang Ming also did not bid a price of a hundred million or one billion to scare people, just as long as it was enough to overwhelm the two competitors with an absolute advantage. Moreover, the money had to be handed over to the jewelry association as a commission. It was not that the money paid would be returned to his own hands, so Yang Ming did not need to let the jewelry association gain benefit.

"Ten million!" The host's hand trembled. The reason why he was so provocative was that he would get five-thousandth of the winning bid as commission for every product he auctioned!

And with ten million, that was fifty thousand yuan of commission. How could he not be excited?

"Ten million, is there anyone higher than ten million?" The host shouted.

Obviously, whether it was the man in gold-rimmed glasses or the energetic young master, or everyone present at the scene, they all did not expect someone to come out at the final moment!

Everyone thought that the final winner would be one of the two men, the man with the golden-rimmed glasses or the energetic young master, but they did not expect Yang Ming to rush out suddenly with an absolute advantage.

As she heard this familiar voice, Chen Mengyan's surprise was in the extreme! Just when she really didn't know what to do, Yang Ming appeared.

Yang Ming was already in the room, but Chen Mengyan, who was standing on the stage, was in a panic. She would not look below the stage, nor did she have the mood to watch the people in the audience one by one. That was why she did not notice Yang Ming there.

The man in the gold-rimmed glasses and the energetic young master did not have the courage to bid more than ten million. If Yang Ming's bid was seven million, the two men might have competed with another ten or twenty thousand. However, now that Yang Ming's price was ten million, they had no intention at all to compete anymore.

"Ten million going once!"

"Ten million going twice!"

"Ten million going three times!" The auctioneer raised the hammer in his hand and asked.

"Sold for ten million!" The auctioneer waved the hammer in his hand and hit it.

" Thump "! A hammering sound came.

"Congratulations to this... mister who receives this imperial jade!" The host didn't know how to address Yang Ming. Because Yang Ming was not present before, and he only joined in later, the host did not specifically check Yang Ming's information. Naturally, he did not know what Yang Ming's surname was. "This gentleman will receive a warm hug from Miss Little Yan!"

"Wait a minute!" The man with the golden-rimmed glasses was obviously dissatisfied. "Where did this person come from? Is he eligible to participate in the auction? He stood there and did not sit in the auction!"

"This..." The host only thought about the issue of the commission. He did not think about the identity of Yang Ming. Now, listening to the golden-rimmed glasses man, he heard some truth. If Yang Ming was not a customer who participated in the auction, but someone who came in to visit, it was suspicious whether he could produce the ten million!

"Yeah, where is this person from? Is he eligible to participate in the auction?" The energetic young master was also a loser. Hence, at this moment, he disregarded his former hatred and joined forces with the gold-glasses man to go against the enemy.

"Who says that I'm not qualified?" Yang Ming pulled his own windbreaker off very smugly and then took out his seat number in the auction area from his pocket. He raised it and threw it in an empty space in the VIP seats.

Yang Ming was responsible for the overall planning of the audience. Naturally, he would use different identities to make unannounced visits for inspection, so having a seat number in the auction area was normal.

When they saw the seat number that Yang Ming threw, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses and the energetic young master shut their mouths.

"If you have a seat number, why didn't you sit down?" The energetic young master said in an unsatisfied tone.

"Who set a rule that they must sit during the auction?" Yang Ming looked at the energetic young master with despise.

The energetic young master was at a loss for words. Indeed, no one had stipulated that they must sit in the auction. If people were willing to stand, it was their personal habit. He couldn't control it.

The host quickly found the identity of Yang Ming according to his seat number. He smiled and said, "Welcome Mr. Yang to come on stage and accept a hug from Miss Little Yan."

Yang Ming walked on the stage with great enthusiasm and looked at Chen Mengyan with a smile. He whispered, "Come on, Sister Little Yan... Let's hug!"

Chen Mengyan turned red and snorted. "So annoying." However, she was extremely obedient and hugged Yang Ming.

Yang Ming laughed and said, "Let's get a room tonight?"

"Go die." Chen Mengyan whispered, "We have a home. Why do we still need to get a room?"

It turns out that she likes doing it at home. Gaga. Yang Ming thought lasciviously. But I like it, a kindred spirit!

The people below the stage naturally couldn't hear what Yang Ming said on the stage. They thought that he was like the previous Boss Wang who wanted to ask the beauty for a date.

Most people were just enjoying the scene, so they weren't really jealous of Yang Ming. Only the energetic young master and the man in gold-rimmed glasses were unwilling. However, if another had more money than themselves, what could they do?

Yang Ming patted Chen Mengyan, then let go and came down from the stage. Chen Mengyan also retreated to the backstage. Her heart was full of sweetness; Yang Ming always appeared when she needed him most.

This made Chen Mengyan very happy.

Although the little crisis was solved, Yang Ming already hated the host. If you want to joke, you don't joke about this, right? What if I didn't arrive in time?

Then, wasn't Chen Mengyan going to be taken away by others? How could people with a serious chauvinistic tendency like Yang Ming allow such a thing to happen?

Therefore, Yang Ming vented all his anger at the host. Yang Ming faintly sneered as his right hand moved slightly, and a special flying needle fell into his hand.

Yang Ming looked at the host who was still eager to introduce another jewel on the stage. His right hand shook, and the flying needle was shot. Yang Ming's skill at secretly throwing weapons was first-class, even better than Fang Tian.

The flying needle was very thin, and it didn't cause much pain to the person's body. It was either a fatal blow or a slow impact. Yang Ming didn't want to kill people at the jewelry exhibition. After all, it was the Ming Yang Security Company who was in charge of security work. Yang Ming did not want to smear his own brand.

Therefore, Yang Ming aimed the flying needle at the host's sciatic nerve.

Seeing the flying needle completely inserted in the host's sciatic nerve, and then slowly melt in the host's blood, Yang Ming smiled lightly.

"Next, the auctioned jewelry is a diamond ring exhibited by the Day Dream Company... Please welcome the model, Tian Tian..." The host continued to give a hard-working speech.

The host made a gesture of welcoming, then walked to the side to give his position to the model. However, when the host lifted his leg, he almost fell down. He just thought he was not careful! However, after taking another step, the host found that his right leg was a bit problematic. " Aiya ? Aiya ? I... How did I become lame?
