Three.
Two.
The numbers on the electronic screen ticked down to the last second:
One hundred million.
The timing was just right for Chi Mu Jiu.
At this price, no matter how much Chi Qi Yun from the lower hall tried to raise the bid, she could never catch up to one hundred million.
It should be noted that the combined assets of the Chi and Lei families were far less than one hundred million.
Moreover, risking everything just to negotiate a partnership with the Ye family seemed utterly meaningless.
This was undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble, and one with very low odds of success.
The people in the lower hall felt deflated, like a punctured balloon, instantly losing all spirit and collapsing into their seats.
Chi Qi Yun's face turned ashen with rage; her expression twisted in anger, as if she wanted nothing more than to rush over and confront Chi Mu Jiu. In that moment, her hatred reached its peak, and the fire in her eyes seemed capable of incinerating Chi Mu Jiu completely.
Chi Mu Jiu merely cast a cold glance at the trembling Chi Qi Yun before turning her attention away.
The quota had been bid on, but did they really have that much money to put forth? A sense of worry crept into Chi Mu Jiu's heart.
Du Heng Yan, do you really have that much money?
Chi Mu Jiu asked uncertainly again. Did this male model truly earn that much?
Though Du Heng Yan's physique and looks were exceptional, attracting countless gazes wherever he went, it was hard to believe that male modeling could earn him such a fortune. Ji Qingqing could casually take out tens of billions; she found it hard to accept that he could do the same.
Could it be that he had to call his previous wealthy patrons for help?
Just thinking about it made Chi Mu Jiu feel dizzy and overwhelmed.
The mere image of it flashing through her mind filled her with despair and disbelief.
You can't be out of money and need to contact those rich women for funds, can you?!!
Chi Mu Jiu stared at Du Heng Yan, hoping to glean some clue from his expression—something that would reassure her.
If Du Heng Yan truly didn't have the money, they would face an unimaginable situation ahead.
"Miss Chi, congratulations."
"Miss Chi, congratulations!"
Before Du Hengyan could respond, Ye Jue and Zhu Zhan from the adjacent table approached with their glasses raised.
Chi Mu Jiu felt a bit guilty; she didn't even know how to pay for this. The organizers had come to congratulate her, and she couldn't just stand there looking foolish. So, she hurriedly stood up with her glass in hand and elegantly replied, "Mr. Ye, you're too kind. It is an honor for the Chi family to collaborate with you."
"Then let's toast to a pleasant cooperation!"
Ye Jue's eyes sparkled behind his gold-rimmed glasses, but he didn't bring his glass closer; instead, he downed his drink in one go.
Du Hengyan remained seated quietly, his expression calm as he continued to serve food onto Chi Mu Jiu's plate without any other movements. Aside from the little one beside him, nothing around him seemed to pique his interest.
After exchanging a few pleasantries amidst the envious and jealous gazes directed at Miss Chi, she approached gracefully, holding the collaborative auction item.
"Miss, this is your auction item. Please take a look."
Miss Chi slightly bowed and presented the item with both hands.
Chi Mu Jiu hesitated for a moment, her gaze drifting toward Du Hengyan.
In his deep and encouraging eyes, she felt a wave of relief wash over her as she steadily accepted the billion-dollar auction qualification contract.
【Ye Group Collaboration Project Document】
The bold letters were prominently printed on the cover.
As Chi Mu Jiu skimmed through the table of contents, she was deeply shocked. This contract was the Ye Group's most significant project proposal, collaborating with the Cheng Li family’s projects. It was important to note that this luxury yacht event was organized by both the Li family and the Ye family; as for Zhu Zhan, he was sent by the Li family to oversee this auction event.
"Miss Chi, we look forward to the Chi family's involvement."
Although Zhu Zhan wasn't a core member of the Li family, he was a trusted confidant of Old Master Li and held significant influence within the family.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. Please send my regards to Old Master Li when you return; I will pay him a visit soon."
Holding the contract in her hands, Chi Mu Jiu felt an unprecedented sense of ease and confidence. With this contract in hand, the Chi family's position was undoubtedly second only to the Ye family, equivalent to that of a deputy leader.
Collaborating with the Ye family had been a long-cherished dream for Chi Feng Yi.
"No, no, Miss Chi, you are busy with important matters. Mr. Li is always ready to escort you and this gentleman."
Upon hearing Chi Mu Jiu mention her intention to pay a visit in person, Zhu Tan's expression instantly shifted to one of unease.
He felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his heart racing with anxiety. Did this lady truly not understand the terrifying nature of the man beside her? If she offended that boss, who knew what might happen—perhaps one day, the city would cease to exist.
