A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 224 Mr Ye, Are You Crazy?

"$50 million!” said Sun Yu-Hao domineeringly the moment the auctioneer reported the starting bid.

The bid instantly increased by $10 million. His tremendous domineering aura shook the crowd.

All the rich men who were keen on bidding swallowed their offers.

"$60 million!"

When the crowd became quiet, Shen Fei stepped forward as expected.

Everyone laughed bitterly and killed their thoughts of bidding for it.

When these spectacularly rich people decided to fight, the less wealthy ones quickly decided not to

participate in case they ended up becoming collateral damage.

Sun Yu-Hao was undaunted by Shen Fei competing. He upped the bid again by $20 million at one go,

"$80 million!”

When Sun Yu-Hao made his bid, the crowd went quiet.

Even Shen Fei paled slightly. He was a little nervous as he asked, "Mr Ye, should I keep going?"

"Don't be a wuss. Keep going," said Ye Fan calmly while he smiled.

"Okay!" When he heard Ye Fan's words, Shen Fei upped the bid, "$90 million!"

"Heavens! $90 million!"

"Young Master Shen made a $90 million bid."

"Does anyone want to go any higher?" the auctioneer was thrilled.

Sun Yu-Hao was starting to feel stressed by its rising price. But he gritted his teeth and yelled, "$100

million! I must have this stone. Does anyone else want to vie with me?

The crowd was uproarious. The $100 million bid was a new record in the history of this jade stone

auction. Sun Yu-Hao became the center of attraction once again.

Shen Fei then got up to up the bid, but Ye Fan pulled him and said, "It's okay. You don't have to go

further."

"Damn, Mr Ye, what are you doing? This is the last stone among all the star attractions. If I give this

one up, there will be none left. We already gave up all the other ones, so why can't I buy this? Then

how can I recoup my losses? I would have come to the jade exhibition for nothing!" Shen Fei was so

anxious he almost wanted to cry.

Ye Fan was the one that told him to bid for it, but now Ye Fan was also the one telling him to stop. So

naturally, Shen Fei was perplexed.

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled, "It's just some stupid stone. If you successfully bid for it, you might

just jump off the building. I'll be honest with you. Stone number 9 is worse them stone number 2

because it contains nothing but rock.

There isn't a scrap of jade in it. I told you to compete with him so that you could push the price up.”

What?

"Stone?"

Ye Fan's words gave both Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie a shock instantly.

"Are you certain, Mr Ye? That $100 million jade stone nothing but rock?" Shen Fei was in disbelief.

Han Shao-Jie asked as well, "Exactly. Mr Ye. How do you know it's just rock?"

Ye Fan said calmly, "It was a guess."

Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie really didn't know what to say.

Ye Fan made Shen Fei so angry that he wanted to slap him.

"Mr Ye, stop kidding. It's giving me a panic attack," Shen Fei was so anxious he wanted to cry.

Qiu Mu-Cheng said angrily to Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, what nonsense are you saying? Are you prepared to

face the consequences if you make Young Master Shen lose money? If you don't understand what's

going on, then just shut up.”

After Shen Fei questioned him, Ye Fan remained calm, "I will say it again. I'm merely making a

suggestion. You can decide whether you want to take it."

"Okay, Mr Ye. I'll go with your suggestion one more time." After learning from his mistake earlier, Shen

Fei decided to heed Ye Fan's advice one more time. He stopped bidding for the rock altogether, and it

fell into Sun Yu-Hao's hands just as they hoped.

"Haha! Young Master Shen, it looks like in terms of finances, the Shens are only so-so.” After

outbidding Shen Fei twice, Sun Yu-Hao felt undoubtedly arrogant. He looked at Shen Fei from a

distance with the smug look of a winner on his face as his words overflowed with contempt.

"Mu-Cheng, did you see how impressive and awesome Yu-Hao was? He completely crushed Shen

Fei," bragged Han Fei-Fei to Qiu Mu-Cheng about Sun Yu-Hao.

Shen Fei was furious inside, "There's nothing for you to be proud of. All you did was spend a bomb

buying a stupid stone. Only fools would be happy! To tell you the truth, the stone you bought doesn't

contain any jade at all. You can go fuck yourself!"

In the rock gambling trade, it was taboo to curse like this. After all, they relied a lot on luck to win. So

Shen Fei's swearing infuriated Sun Yu-Hao. But Sun Yu-Hao composed himself very quickly and

laughed, "Young Master Shen, all you can do now is talk. You're an idiot. But do you think I'm an idiot

like you?"

"You...” Shen Fei gritted his teeth but didn't argue. It was the truth after all, so he couldn't refute the fact This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

that he had just spent $26 million on scrap.

The auction continued. Sun Yu-Hao didn't continue bidding, perhaps because he was low on funds.

Shen Fei spent $500,000 on rock number 11 instead.

"Trash is trash. Even the stone he picked was a leftover. I bet there's no jade in it since it only cost

$500, 000," Sun Yu-Hao and the others laughed.

Very quickly, the auction came to an end.

But Sun Yu-Hao still wanted to make fun of Shen Fei, so he went over and said, "Young Master Shen, I

see you spent another $500, 000 to buy a lovely stone. I happen to have two myself, so why don't we

get them cut together. Then we can enlighten everyone here."

"Mu-Cheng, you should stay and watch with us. After I extract the jadeite, I will make a bangle for you

right away," said Sun Yu-Hao to Qiu Mu-Cheng affectionately.

The purpose of his visit was to show off to Qiu Mu-Cheng. Also, he wanted to shame Shen Fei and the

others.

"Humph, I'm busy and I don't have time to hang around and play with you.” Shen Fei could tell Sun Yu-

Hao was trying to take the chance to humiliate him. Since he didn't have any good stones and the only

one he had was a leftover which no one else wanted, he didn't want to take the risk with Sun Yu-Hao.

If Shen Fei ended up with a second piece of scrap stone today, it would be a major embarrassment.

What would people say about him if he did?

"Let's stay, Young Master Shen. Since Young Master Sun personally invited us, we should do him the

honor," said Ye Fan.

When Shen Fei heard him, he almost wanted to cry. He pulled Ye Fan over and asked him softly, "Mr

Ye, are you crazy? It's a $500,000 leftover stone. Can we compete? His jade is far better than mine. If

we compete with him, we will end up embarrassing ourselves!"

Shen Fei looked miserable. Ye Fan insisted that he buy rock number 11 earlier. As no one else wanted

it, Shen Fei got it at its starting price. Then he later found out it was a leftover stone cut from rock

number 9. How could something like that contain jade? No wonder no one wanted it.

But Ye Fan didn't seem to care at all and said, "It's okay. It's not your first time disgracing yourself

anyway, so there's no harm doing it again."

Since Ye Fan was persistent, Shen Fei got forced to cut his rock along with Sun Yu-Hao.

Qiu Mu-Cheng complained instead, "Ye Fan, why are you making trouble? Are you trying to embarrass

Young Master Shen? Sun Yu-Hao deliberately invited him to humiliate him. How can there be jade in

some leftover stone? I don't know what you're thinking," said Qiu Mu-Cheng as she sighed in

annoyance. She couldn't tell what Ye Fan was thinking about at all.
