Chapter 435

"However..." Su Meng's smile grew even stranger.

"I originally planned to use this painting to raise three or five hundred thousand to renovate the teaching building of Daping Village Primary School."

"But I never expected Master Xie to be so generous, suddenly offering so much, benefiting every sector of Wanshan County."

"Master Xie's boldness truly leaves me in admiration!"

"Since that's the case... hahaha... Master Xie, don't feel you're at a loss!"

"Congratulations, the 'Spring Trees and Autumn Frost Painting' is yours!"

What?

Did Su Meng really agree to the deal?

Just for such an eccentric price?

In a grand hall in the Imperial Capital, the Director's hand, about to tap the screen, suddenly froze.

After stiffening for a moment, he suddenly flew into a rage.

"Su Meng! Are you playing with me?"

"If you had delayed by just one second, my bid would have been sent!"

"I even took out the old man's coffin money!"

"And the result is missing this masterpiece by just one second?!"

"Damn it! I lost a billion!"

The entire hall fell silent, everyone staring at the Director with mouths agape.

The Deputy Commander's mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a low voice.

"Just now, you gave him five hundred sixty-seven minutes!"

"If you hadn't intentionally wanted to watch the spectacle, wouldn't this painting have already been in your hands?"

The Director sat back down in his chair, looking utterly dejected.

"How could I have expected that someone would truly guess his thoughts?"

"And this Xie Lecheng actually finalized the intent with Wanshan County within just a few short hours at noon."

"This boldness... tsk tsk... it seems there is a mastermind behind him!"

"Even I only guessed it after seeing him sit for so long under the sign of Daping Village Primary School."

"Truly, there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens!"

"If I had known earlier, I certainly wouldn't have given him those five minutes!"

"Is that so?" The Deputy Commander glanced at his phone screen and suddenly chuckled helplessly.

"Three hundred forty-six thousand... tsk tsk... what a huge gesture!"

"Mobilizing such a large sum of money, I'm afraid you definitely needed your sister-in-law's approval, right?"

"So those five minutes just now... were you going to report to your sister-in-law?"

Click-clack... click-clack...

Suddenly, the sound of keyboards erupted in the hall; everyone stared seriously at their screens, putting on an air of serious work.

I am working seriously; I heard nothing!

I heard nothing about the gossip that the Director is henpecked!

"Dad! How did it go?!"

Wan Zi puffed out her chest, looking extremely proud.

By now, Xie Lecheng was completely stunned.

Even now, he still couldn't believe he had truly secured this unparalleled masterpiece?

Defeating the three richest men, defeating a billion in cash, all on the strength of three hundred million?

How is this world so fantastical?

A moment later, a pang of pain struck his heart, and he stared tightly at Wan Zi.

"Did you guess long ago that Su Meng only wanted to renovate Daping Village Primary School?"

"Yes." Wan Zi nodded, saying proudly.

"I already said it; I am Su Meng's biggest fan, and I know him best!"

"Then you... then you..." Xie Lecheng pointed at her, his finger trembling.

"Since you guessed it long ago, why did you still make me offer so much?"

"Something that could have been settled for three or five hundred thousand, yet I actually offered... three hundred million?"

"Of course!" Wan Zi looked entirely reasonable.

"As a biggest fan, isn't it only natural to be your brother's leek?"

Pfft~~~~ Xie Lecheng could no longer hold it back, and a mouthful of old blood spurted directly out.

How did this little cotton-padded jacket suddenly turn green?

"Cough, cough, cough!" The Director coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject.

"This... is not important!"

"What is important is that this young man is now in big trouble!"

"Yes." The Deputy Commander's look at Su Meng also carried a few extra meanings.

"Causing such a huge commotion, exploding so many wealthy people, even the three richest men have come out."

"In the end, each one returned defeated; who knows what other thoughts they might harbor."

"In the future, within the entertainment industry... heh..."

The Director nodded, speaking with a thoughtful expression.

"It seems the time has come to make our stance clear..."
