Chapter 287: The White-Robed Knight (Part 7)

The moment Tang Xingyu sat down, the heavy stone in Liu Ruipeng's heart finally fell to the ground.

Jin Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Huaan shook his head secretly: "Sigh, why go through all this trouble?"

Xue Tianhao punched the armrest in frustration.

If it were him, he would have thrown every cent he had at it; he wouldn't have been so timid!

"10.1 billion, going once!"

"Sold!"

"Congratulations to No. 17, Mr. Zheng!"

Auctioneer Wang Xiaoqi struck the gavel.

The white knight now belonged to Zheng Qian.

He had won four consecutive auctions.

She really didn't understand the world of the rich.

Jiang Yanran thought to herself that this auction had ended in a victory for Zheng Qian after all.

Tang Xingyu certainly had courage, but in the face of absolute strength, he still fell short.

Let alone Tang Xingyu, if anyone else were in his position, they wouldn't have been able to withstand such immense pressure and would have chosen to back down.

After Zheng Qian went on stage and signed the legal documents.

[Spent 10.1 billion, system cashback 101 billion, credited to account!]

Ding.

Zheng Qian's phone received a notification of funds being deposited.

He had made quite a lot of money in Jiangnan over the past few days.

His account now held 236 billion.

When he stepped off the stage, countless reporters and media swarmed around Zheng Qian, wanting to interview him:

"Mr. Zheng, what was your purpose in bidding for the white knight?"

"Mr. Zheng, could you share your thoughts on spending 10 billion to buy this cruise ship with us?"

"Mr. Zheng..."

Zheng Qian did not answer any of the reporters' questions.

If not for the security guards doing their best to hold them back, Zheng Qian probably would have been overwhelmed by these people.

For safety reasons, the auction house added extra personnel to escort Zheng Qian and his party out first.

On the other side.

Liu Ruipeng and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

They patted Tang Xingyu on the shoulder.

"Remember to wire the money back to us."

After saying that, they left first, beaming with smiles and whistling.

Tang Xingyu slumped in his seat, his gaze vacant, his body limp.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

Tang Xingyu weakly pressed the answer button.

"Xingyu, where are you right now?"

"What exactly happened at the auction?"

"Did you use that fund? Tell me quickly!"

On the other end of the line, Tang Chuanyan was asking frantically.

He had allocated 5 billion in funds for Vice President Qi Chunqing to revitalize Yuehua Shipping and capture the surrounding market.

This money was equivalent to half his life's work!

If he had acted on impulse just for the sake of face, Tang Chuanyan would want to bang his head against a wall.

The key was that there was no way to use legal means to punish this kid!

Who told him to be his own biological son?

The CEOs of those enterprises in Jiangnan hadn't come forward.

Tang Xingyu was from Qilu, attended university in Yezhou, and graduate school in Shanghu.

Why was he getting involved in the excitement?

Wasn't this just being an idiot?

Tang Xingyu glared viciously at Vice President Qi Chunqing beside him.

Vice President Qi Chunqing's eyes darted away, not daring to meet Tang Xingyu's gaze at all.

There was no need to think; he must have been the one who snitched.

"Dad, the money is still in my hands. The other party bid 10 billion."

"I didn't make a move."

On the other end of the line, a trembling voice let out a sigh of relief.

"Come back to me right now!"

After saying that, the call was hung up.

The group of reporters who hadn't managed to interview Zheng Qian only now came to their senses.

It was normal not to be able to interview Zheng Qian; he was such a big shot!

Wasn't there still another person involved in the venue?

Tang Xingyu!

Although he lost, if they could get his first-hand account, that would also be acceptable!

Immediately, they swarmed toward Tang Xingyu in a crowd.

"President Tang, you are similar in age to President Zheng. Are you and President Zheng acquainted?"

"President Tang, you stood up and hesitated just now; were you considering raising the bid?"

"President Tang, how did you persuade the CEOs of Ruipeng Real Estate, Changyuan Building Materials, and Huaan Fund?"

"President Tang, the funds on the books of these four CEOs couldn't possibly add up to 9 billion. Is there support from the richest man in Jiangnan behind you? Is he just hiding behind the scenes?"

Tang Xingyu said nothing, glaring at the reporters.

Interviewing a loser just to grab attention.

Their hearts were malicious!

Tang Xingyu didn't answer any questions!

He walked away with his people directly.

The reporters and media, who had also been snubbed, had the exact opposite attitude.

"Heh, he's just a loser, why is he putting on such airs!"

"If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't interview Zheng Qian, who would come to interview you!"

"Exactly, a loser, what are you acting so high and mighty for!"

"Dead trash!"

Previously, Zheng Qian refused their interviews because he couldn't be bothered to waste words with them.

But Tang Xingyu's refusal to interview them turned into putting on airs and incompetent rage.

...

"Xingyu!"

"Wait for me!"

After Tang Xingyu left the venue, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Lu Shanshan.

"Xingyu, why are you walking so fast?"

Tang Xingyu wasn't intentionally ignoring Lu Shanshan.

It was just that his mood had fallen to rock bottom.

He didn't want to say anything, and he didn't want to see anyone.

That was why he left alone without even saying hello, leaving the people around him behind.

He had been beaten by Zheng Qian until he was down and out.

Even worse than a dog.

In this auction, Zheng Qian won!

Liu Ruipeng and the others hadn't lost either.

The one who lost the most miserably was him!

Tang Xingyu was extremely helpless, his heart filled with grief and indignation.

He hated himself for not having enough strength to confront Zheng Qian.

He had once been so proud!

Since childhood, he had been the favored child envied by others, the "child of someone else" in the mouths of many parents.

Now he had also tasted what envy felt like.

That's right.

Even a person like Tang Xingyu could feel jealousy.

"Yeah, I'm going first."

Tang Xingyu just replied perfunctorily, then opened the car door and got in to leave.

Vice President Qi Chunqing, Xiao Xinhao, and Zhao Ying arrived late.

"Shanshan!"

"Where is young Tang?"

Zhao Ying ran over, clutching her heart.

She was gasping for air.

Zheng Qian had almost scared her into a heart attack!

"He left."

"He left?"

Vice President Qi Chunqing's brows were already twisted into a frown.

He had been afraid just now that Tang Xingyu would act on impulse, which was why he had secretly run out to call Tang Chuanyan.

He hadn't expected it to hit Tang Xingyu so hard.

He had followed Tang Chuanyan for decades and knew that Old Tang was like a hungry wolf in business, extremely cruel and unscrupulous.

Only toward Tang Xingyu was he partial and extremely doting.

Just now, standing next to Tang Xingyu, he had clearly heard Old Tang's roar.

This also proved from the side that today's matter was simply too big!

Even Tang Chuanyan couldn't help but lose his temper.

This was equivalent to nearly ten years of profit for the Xingyao Group!

If Tang Xingyu had acted on impulse and thrown the money away in a fit of heat, Old Tang's half-life of work would have been in vain.

"Vice President Qi, what's wrong with young President Tang?"

Xiao Xinhao asked this without considering the occasion.

Slap.

A slap landed on Xiao Xinhao's face.

"Ask, ask, ask, ask your ass!"

"Go get the car!"
