Confrontation Between the Tip of the Needle and the Point of the Wheat_2 And just as Wu Tongda fell silent for a moment, the Lin family head, Lin Youzhi, suddenly raised his hand, his voice calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two billion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Wu Tongda, Lin Youzhi, as the mastermind behind the Supreme Jewelry Store, was a complete nemesis to Fan’s Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store, like fire and water, irreconcilable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that between the Fan family and the Lin family, only one could survive; and the other, would inevitably be eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Youzhi was clear in his mind that there was no possibility of reconciliation with Fan Zhijian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this was the case, he had no reservations, and naturally, he could bid at will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two billion hadn’t reached the true reserve price of the Heart Jade, but the other side’s provocation had thoroughly angered Geng Pan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This heir of the Ross family didn’t even turn his head, simply raising his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three billion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geng Pan had already learned from Chu Mo that this piece of Heart Jade was purchased for five billion; even if he offered three billion, he wouldn’t be incurring any loss whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Youzhi didn’t immediately follow suit, instead he fell into silence for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Youzhi remained silent, Wu Tongda leaned towards him and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This piece of Heart Jade has appeared at an auction two years ago and was eventually sold for 330 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, Lin, if you get it for less than 330 million, you won’t suffer any loss at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian in the front row, then after gritting his teeth slightly, Lin Youzhi once again raised his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred and thirty million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Youzhi’s bid was the lowest possible price for the Heart Jade; even if the other party no longer bid, if he got the Heart Jade for three hundred and thirty million, he would at least not be at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auctioneer on stage did not dare to say another word at this moment; the bidding had deviated completely from the script, and he himself didn’t know what would happen if he hammered down rashly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this time that the hall fell into a rare silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mo in the front row glanced at the blonde young man beside him and, seeing his indifferent expression with no interest in bidding again, Chu Mo let out a light sigh and then for the first time spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five billion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Chu Mo’s first bid, and in fact, the amount didn’t matter to him, because he was the organizer of the auction himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he offered a hundred billion, it would merely be transferring money from his left pocket to his right, without any waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bid only because the actual value of the Heart Jade was indeed five billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t participate, Lin Youzhi would scoop up the Heart Jade for three hundred and thirty million, a huge bargain that Chu Mo was naturally unwilling to allow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the indifferent words of Chu Mo fell, the whole hall returned to utter silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until then that the tycoons in the hall suddenly remembered that they had Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu from Modu sitting in the front row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were only Fan Zhijian here, the choice between the fifth family of Modu, the Fan family, and the eight great families of Hua Country, would be a no-brainer; almost one hundred percent would choose to side with the eight great families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu from Modu was added to the mix, this originally easy question suddenly became worth reconsidering for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though young, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu had stirred Modu to its core with his own strength in just half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention his endorsers with assets worth hundreds of billions, just the investment in the Trillions Club alone was ample reason for everyone to take his power seriously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the eight great families of Hua Country were powerful, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu of Modu was not to be taken lightly, especially with a few guests he had invited, which formed a force that could challenge the eight great families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more frightening was the group of young people in the front row, all of whom had terrifying potential for growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were two princes destined to inherit the kingship, while the Jewelry Queen Mina was the third most influential woman in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Mina, with one quarter of royal blood, wielded immense influence throughout Britain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included a future heir to the Ross family’s inheritance, which might amount to fifty trillion, and the invaluable Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that the few young individuals in the front row now possessed the strength to arm-wrestle with the eight great families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, throughout the entire hall, the wealthy magnates who originally sided unequivocally with the eight great families once again became subtly discomposed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely because Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu offhandedly made a bid, at this moment, the hall once again fell into a hushed silence, where everyone harbored their own thoughts, yet no one dared to challenge with another bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auctioneer on stage, seeing Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu bid in person, had been worrying about how to conclude, but now didn’t need to trouble himself further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly hammered down the final price with crisp efficiency!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five billion, this magical Heart Jade, now belongs to Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the auctioneer’s words fell, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu suddenly gently gestured towards the display stand, and the quick-witted auctioneer immediately brought over the Heart Jade, then respectfully presented it before Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu took the top-tier treasure worth five billion from the auctioneer’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was currently winter, and the temperature was rather cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as his hand touched the Heart Jade, he felt a faint heat emanating from the jade, spreading warmth throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu couldn’t help but be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good thing was definitely a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Heart Jade was expensive, its value made it entirely worth the five billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he had initially prepared the Heart Jade for Geng Pan and had no intention of keeping it for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu glanced at the blond young man beside him, remainig composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all that had transpired, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu guessed that even if he were to offer the Heart Jade to Geng Pan now, the other party would probably not accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, it was better to follow the blond young man’s original wish and give the Heart Jade directly to the three young ladies in the back row!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought in mind, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu, holding the Heart Jade, suddenly turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze directly skimmed over the middle position where the heads of the eight great families sat, then fixed on the three young ladies at the very end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu shook the Heart Jade in his hand and then beckoned to the three girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl named Xu Shanshan immediately rose up with a face full of surprise and then walked excitedly towards him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu hesitated slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had intended to give the Heart Jade to Geng Pan’s beloved, a girl named Sun Qiuman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the person who approached was the tall Xu Shanshan, who was also the one who had bid earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Sun Qiuman was too shy, which was why she let her best friend come forward, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tall girl called Xu Shanshan walked up brimming with excitement, he placed the Heart Jade in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant she received the Heart Jade, the woman before him also seemed to feel that magical surge of warmth, jolting fiercely with eyes full of shock and elation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu withdrew his hands; the Heart Jade was just one of the exhibits, and there were other items that needed to be auctioned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Xu Shanshan hastened back, flushed with excitement, the auctioneer on stage took a deep breath before continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, allow us to present the third exhibit, a diamond necklace specifically prepared for Princess Mina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heart of the Deep Sea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This necklace features a main diamond of a fifty-carat sapphire, surrounded by three hundred and sixty-five exquisite diamonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heart of the Deep Sea was once the most beloved jewel of a queen and had previously set an auction record of six hundred and fifty million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will now start at a bid of one hundred thousand RMB, Princess Wei’er Mina, please place your bid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the auctioneer directly addressed Princess Wei’er Mina, expecting the item to be sold smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before Princess Mina could even speak, a clear and melodious female voice suddenly rang out from the center of the exhibition hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two hundred thousand RMB!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the voice fell, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu suddenly curled his lips into a smirk, and a hint of cold laughter flashed in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Lin Ling’er from the Lin family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally couldn’t endure the loneliness anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>",1544,"2026-05-29T15:34:12.861Z","2026-06-01T04:29:37.635Z",1,"novelbin.me","050165e4be5d9449e35822c4ad04643046eaabe4ebe03a7a5f4686d4fd4fe1fe","trillionaire-s-slice-of-life-chapter-490","trillionaire-s-slice-of-life-chapter-488",1263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrillionaire-s-slice-of-life-cover.jpg"]
