Chapter 503 The Billionaire Auction
Chapter 503 The Billionaire Auction
Parisian girl Catherine maintains her open-mindedness, focuses on the relief process, and is not bothered by gender barriers.
She kept praising, "It's amazing! The itching is gone... How come your hand feels like it's electrified? When you touch it, I not only don't feel itchy or painful anymore, but it also feels very comfortable?"
Cao Erdan's treatment effectively smooths out redness, with immediate results.
Even Jin Meizhu exclaimed in admiration: "Amazing! Wherever your technique touched, the rashes completely disappeared; it's nothing short of a miracle!"
“It’s not just gone, it feels so good.” Catherine held Cao Erdan’s hand tightly. “Give me a massage some more. I’ve never felt anything like this before.”
Cao Erdan laughed and broke free of her hand, thinking to himself, "Does this woman think of me as a bath attendant or a masseuse?"
Although her fair and tender skin felt nice to touch, he was a doctor; he could treat patients and save lives, but he didn't want to serve this foreign woman with massages.
"Your allergy has healed, and you don't need any more massage. Just try to stay away from seafood in the future, and you'll be fine."
Catherine got up, put on her clothes, hugged Cao Erdan tightly, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek:
"Mr. Cao, I am truly grateful, my dear, you are extraordinary! I am completely smitten with you!"
Kim Mi-joo coughed lightly and asked, "Should we leave?"
Catherine responded frankly: "No need to hide it! I just like him!"
Catherine's gaze also locked onto Cao Erdan, filled with ambiguity.
Just then, the cruise ship's announcement came on.
The auction has officially begun.
Cao Erdan glanced at the foreign woman who was constantly winking at him and said with a smile, "We're all here for the auction. It's time to go in!"
Kim Mi-joo also felt that her friend Catherine was losing face, so she quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Alright then, our seats aren't next to each other, see you later! Maybe we'll visit your Dahuan Mountain area for inspiration sometime!"
The group followed the crowd into the cruise ship's lobby.
Here, the lights are bright, and rows of seats are arranged in an orderly manner, just waiting for everyone to take their seats.
The seats at the front few tables were occupied by the top figures of Zhonggang City's elite society.
Those seated at the back were those who were numbered according to the invitation list.
Those who come uninvited, like Cao Erdan, or family members brought by guests, will have to wait their turn.
Lai Yuk-chi did not participate in the auction bidding; she was invited as a celebrity to cut the ribbon.
Therefore, she needs to go on stage, and the organizers can only arrange a seat for her after the opening ceremony.
Therefore, Cao Erdan could only sit in the back row.
But as soon as he entered, Chang Youchang saw him.
He came over and grabbed Cao Cao's arm, saying, "Master Cao, how can someone like you sit in the back? Come, come, sit here with me!"
Chang Youchang held a high position in Hong Kong and mainland China; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to associate with Ouyang Kang.
Catherine and Kim Mi-joo took their seats according to their assigned numbers, only to see Cao Erdan being led to the VIP section.
It's not surprising.
Kim Mi-joo asked Catherine, somewhat unconvinced:
"Didn't Cao Erdan say he was a farmer? He just runs some township enterprises, so how come he's so familiar with tycoons in major cities like China and Hong Kong?"
Catherine had no idea why, and guessed wildly:
"Perhaps... people in China have more respect for farmers!"
Jin Meizhu sat there in disbelief, watching as Chang Youchang pulled Cao Erdan to his table.
Six of the other seven tycoons at the table stood up, looking at Cao Erdan with expressions of fear and trepidation.
These men were all friends of Chang Youchang, and also Hong Kong and mainland tycoons who attended Ouyang Kang's funeral that night.
Seeing the sudden appearance of experts from the Imperial Clan made them somewhat uneasy, wondering if they were there specifically to target them.
After Chang Youchang's introduction, things finally settled down.
Everyone, quickly give up the main seat to Cao Erdan.
Chang Youchang personally poured tea for Cao Erdan.
Catherine spent more time watching Cao Erdan than watching the performances and ribbon-cutting ceremony on stage.
This country boy seems to be no ordinary person!
After a series of song and dance performances, the ribbon-cutting ceremony began.
Wearing a high-slit cheongsam, Li Yuzi went on stage with several celebrities to cut the ribbon.
The tycoons sitting below were whispering among themselves.
Thinking that the music would prevent others from hearing what they were saying, Cao Erdan actually had extremely sensitive ears and could hear every word clearly.
These tycoons speak eloquently on the surface, but in private they talk about nothing more than how to play with women and how to befriend the powerful and wealthy; they are all extremely despicable.
They even talked more lewdly than the village men who peeked at women's thighs under the big trees in the village.
What high society? They're nothing but a bunch of rich thugs.
When a man's abilities increase, his desires tend to swell.
Not only are the requirements for women's appearance and figure increasing, but the things they do are becoming more and more perverse.
With Cao Erdan by his side, Chang You didn't just stare at the thighs and buttocks of the beauties like the others.
Instead, he kept explaining things to Cao Erdan.
Today's auction items are all extremely rare collectibles; his intention is to acquire the elixir.
After all, the richer a person is, the more afraid they are of dying.
The poor are too busy to think about health and longevity.
Even if they have such thoughts, they know they are just wishful thinking.
Those who are rich and capable will do everything they can to prolong their lives.
He can afford any cutting-edge medical technology, as long as it's available.
Although modern medicine is advanced, it is impossible to extend human lifespan indefinitely. Therefore, traditional elixirs made through cultivation have become highly sought-after.
Chang Youchang had two goals.
One is a longevity elixir refined by a very famous Taoist master from Kunlun Mountain, which can prolong life.
Another is the Dragon-Tiger Pill, refined by the Qingcheng Mountain lineage, which can prolong life after consumption.
To put it bluntly, Chang Youchang, who is over fifty years old, wants to have a strong physique and live a long life.
Only in this way can he better enjoy the vast wealth he has earned!
As the auction began, Li Yuzi also came down and was invited by Chang Youchang to sit at his table next to Cao Erdan.
The auctioneer, dressed in a sharp suit, top hat, and white gloves, asked the hostess to bring out the first item for auction.
It is a jade antique.
Although it dates back to the Tang Dynasty, is ancient, and is quite valuable, these top figures were not particularly interested in it.
Whether or not the tycoons present like collecting, which one of them doesn't have a few antiques at home?
At their level, unless they are particularly fond of collecting, they wouldn't make a special trip to bid on a single piece of jade.
The few antiques displayed at the beginning were merely a warm-up.
They were all sold for millions at auction.
Next, the hostess brought out a porcelain plate.
Inside were two very exquisite small porcelain bottles.
The auctioneer began his introduction: "Distinguished guests, this is a wound medicine refined by Elder Dazhi of the Bodhi Temple on Mount Qingcheng after fifty years of arduous cultivation. It can be taken internally and applied externally, and its effects are truly miraculous."
To gain everyone's trust, the hostess brought out another little rabbit.
A burly man came up and chopped off one of the rabbit's hind legs with a single stroke.
The sight of blood caused the socialites in the audience to scream in alarm, while the tycoons shook their heads and frowned.
I felt that this experiment was somewhat bloody.
Then, with the help of the big man and the hostess, the auctioneer fed the rabbit the medicine.
Then I applied the topical medicine to the wound on its broken leg.
In less than two minutes, the camera projected the wound onto the big screen.
Not only has the bleeding stopped, but it has also scabbed over.
The rabbit also started hopping and jumping around.
It doesn't look like it hurts!
The big man then stabbed himself in the arm.
The bleeding stopped immediately after applying the topical medicine.
I could see the wound scabbing over.
A series of gasps came from the audience.
Everyone felt this medicine was very miraculous and was looking forward to the auctioneer announcing the reserve price.
