MO Qian glanced at Zhuang Hang and said with a warm smile, “Second young master Zhuang, you’re observant. You’ve even noticed such a minor detail.

Zhuang Hang looked at MO Qian and smiled gently. “President mo, you can just call me by my name.”

MO Qian nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

The first item had already started to be auctioned on the stage. The host explained in detail, “This is a rare and precious medicinal herb collection book. It was donated by our director Zheng at no cost. It has the most complete and oldest medicinal herbs in country Z. It’s a treasure-level collection of our country’s local medicine! We say it’s the only copy because there’s only one in this world! The starting price is 200000 Yuan, and every 10000 Yuan is an increment. The bidding starts now!”

As the host spoke, he looked expectantly at the audience.

However, after five seconds, no one in the audience raised their sign.

This was a very average performance. There were not many collectors among the people who came to the scene. There was no use in bidding for a medical book collection that was meaningless to him.

Even though the starting price of this precious medical book was only 200000 Yuan, these rich people usually spent more than that when they played cards.

However, humans were animals that were best at judging the situation. They didn’t want to waste money bidding for something without practical use.

Zheng Kai and Wan Jun stood in the last row of the seating area. Wan Jun looked at the quiet and indifferent people and was puzzled. “That’s the last copy of the herbal collection. You can’t find it even if you want to. Do these people know what’s good for them?”

Zheng Kai frowned slightly but wasn’t as impatient as Wan Jun. “The place hasn’t warmed up yet. What are you so anxious about? Just take it slow!”

As he spoke, he felt a little disappointed. He didn’t expect anyone to be willing to treasure such a lone copy. He added, “At most, it’ll be canceled, and I’ll take it home to worship! If my Grandpa knew I would donate it, he wouldn’t be happy!”

However, just as he finished speaking, the host on stage suddenly announced in a loud and excited voice. His eyes were looking toward the private room on the second floor.” Guest No. 5 has raised his sign to bid once, and the sole copy of the herbal collection is 210000 once! Are there any other distinguished guests who wish to bid?”

He babbled and looked at the people below the stage with encouraging eyes. However, the person sitting on the second floor obviously attracted everyone’s attention.

A few voices of discussion came from the crowd.

“Who’s this number 5? Was it because he had too much money? A few hundred thousand for a lousy book?”

“Who are you talking about? MO Qian? I think it’s possible! Hasn’t the news already spread? Zheng Kai, the director of the Savior Research Institute, had invited MO Qian to attend the auction! I’m pretty sure!”

“There’s no need for possible! The person sitting upstairs is indeed MO Qian. Not only MO Qian, but Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang from the Zhuang family are also there!”

“Now that you mention it, it’s not strange! They’re all rich people; of course, they wouldn’t care about a few hundred thousand!”

Hearing this conversation, the people in the seating area were stunned. They seemed to have just remembered who was sitting on the second floor.

Something that even MO Qian was so eager for must be something extraordinary. Since that was the case, they naturally couldn’t let it go quickly, so they all raised their boards.

Right now, they felt it didn’t matter whether they needed it. When the time came, they would bid for it and give it to MO Qian, and they would be able to gain some face in front of MO Qian. This was the most important thing.

The host looked at the signs below the stage, suddenly erected like bamboo shoots after the rain. He was overjoyed and quickly announced, “The VIP on the 19th will bid once. The only copy of the herbal collection will be sold for 250000 once!

Guest No. 10, 290000 once!

“Guest No. 22, 310000!”

“Guest number 34, 400000 going once! Are there any higher bids?”
