I've Already Snagged a Top-tier Goddess at the Start; I'm Incredibly Wealthy!

144: Cao Lang’s assigned seat number: 666The popularity of this heart of egypt needs no further elaboration.

As early as a few years ago, it had been widely publicized in the circles of the wealthy; many of the tycoons present were determined to obtain it this time!

This unique symbolic meaning was priceless!

In the war-torn Middle East, it was difficult for any mines to operate normally, making the discovery of this largest pink diamond extremely rare!

It was said that a Black man risked his life to snatch this national treasure from the hands of the rebels. The journey was so epic that it would likely never be repeated in history!

”One hundred and thirty million!”

Qin Cheng sat with his legs crossed and was the first to raise his paddle, looking like a total show-off.

After three seconds of silence, the various tycoons began a frenzy of bidding.

”One hundred and forty million!”

”One hundred and fifty million!”

”One hundred and eighty million!”

The price began to climb steadily. Clearly, many tycoons were extremely interested in this necklace.

A female tycoon present, whose business focused on air conditioning and who was worth hundreds of billions, was determined to get the heart of egypt. She raised her paddle and shouted:

”Two hundred million!”

Once the price reached two hundred million, the room fell silent. It seemed to have exceeded many people’s psychological expectations.

”Four hundred million!”

Cao Lang raised Tian Xiwei’s paddle and called out with calm composure.

As soon as these words were spoken...

The entire hall fell silent!

Zhao Liying stood on her tiptoes to see the paddle at the back row. A flash of surprise crossed her eyes; she clearly saw a man holding the paddle from Tian Xiwei’s seat.

However, having seen many grand scenes, she didn’t focus too much on it and spoke into the microphone:

”The... gentleman in seat 98 has bid four hundred million. Are there any higher bids?”

This damn price just jumped straight to four hundred million.

It felt like it had already exceeded its actual value!

Who would dare to follow that?

Many tycoons turned around and saw Cao Lang behind Tian Xiwei, and they all fell silent.

Four hundred million! This figure brought everyone back to their senses!

Meanwhile, the manager standing in the distance looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes nearly popping out of his head in terror!

Just now, he had been busy reporting to Karrina, the person in charge of the Bvlgari gala, and had actually forgotten to arrange a seat for CEO Cao!!

Karrina was the CEO of Bvlgari’s Huaxia region! She was also the person in charge of today’s gala!

She was beautiful and had a graceful figure, a very powerful businesswoman. At this moment, she questioned the manager with a cold face:

”Xiao Chen, why doesn’t our distinguished guest even have a seat number?”

”Ms. Karrina... I, I, I... I’ll arrange it immediately!!!”

Manager Chen was so scared he started stuttering. He was usually quite clever and had prepared for today’s gala for a full two and a half years!!

Unexpectedly, despite his meticulousness, such a major oversight had still occurred!

If he didn’t resolve this properly, his future prospects in this life could be said to have vanished like bubbles!

”Four hundred million once.”

”Four hundred million twice.”

”Four hundred million three times!”

”Sold! Congratulations to our gentleman at seat 98 for winning this collection item.”

The gavel fell!

At this moment, Cao Lang became the user with the largest single-transaction spending in Bvlgari’s history!

And such a supremely distinguished client was currently sitting at the very back of the auction, without even a bottle of mineral water by his hand!!!

Wasn’t this making them a laughingstock!!

Karrina’s face was dark. This female CEO, known for her swift and decisive methods, wished she could fire Manager Chen’s entire department!

Tonight’s incident was simply the biggest service failure in Bvlgari’s history!

If the bosses of big brands like LV and Chanel found out, it would be another bloody commercial war!

How could a century-old luxury multinational jewelry company that treats customers as gods let a potential high-quality client sit alone and unnoticed in a corner?

At this moment, Manager Chen ran over, his face full of extreme regret. He forced himself to smile and bowed in apology:

”CEO Cao, I’m... I’m really sorry!!! It was a major oversight on my part to have you sit here. Please give me a chance to make it up to you!! I’ll go add a seat for you in the first row!”

As soon as these words were spoken...

Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye were both shocked!

They both knew this Manager Chen. Last time they took a fancy to a limited-edition bracelet, they had to rely on Manager Chen’s connections just to get on the waiting list.

Now, he was like a lowly minion who had broken a heavenly law, humbly begging for Cao Lang’s forgiveness.

Was this the oppressive power of a top-tier tycoon?

”I’ll just sit next to Ms. Tian Xiwei. I’m using her paddle anyway.”

Cao Lang showed the paddle in his hand.

This action made Manager Chen even more terrified. A supremely distinguished client actually had to use someone else’s paddle to bid.

This was simply the shame of this auction!

At this time, Karrina walked over with an apologetic smile and introduced herself in broken Chinese:

”Hello, Mr. Cao. I am the CEO of Bvlgari Huaxia. I offer my sincere apologies for our poor hospitality.”

After all, with four hundred million thrown down, even the President of Bvlgari would have to come in person to apologize!

She had just searched for this sentence using AI and memorized it for a while before saying it.

Cao Lang said in English, ”English?”

Hearing English, Karrina felt a deep sense of closeness. However, her mother tongue was Italian. She first used English, then repeated her previous words in Italian.

Cao Lang immediately began to communicate with Karrina in Italian.

He was proficient in twenty foreign languages; simple Italian was a piece of cake for him.

The people around them were all completely lost, but the way they looked at Cao Lang underwent a massive change.

This young man was not simple!

In a few words, Cao Lang indicated he wouldn’t pursue the matter and to just be careful next time.

After all, he had only come on a whim to look around.

To show her apology, Karrina stated she would urgently provide some compensation plans. As a priority, she specially customized a seat number for Cao Lang: number 666.

There were 99 participants in total, and everyone was arranged sequentially from 1 to 99.

When it came to Cao Lang, it was directly number 666.

This was a unique, customized number, highlighting Cao Lang’s distinction!

During the jewelry handover, Cao Lang said calmly:

”Since this necklace was won using Ms. Tian Xiwei’s paddle, then it’s a gift for Ms. Tian.”

As soon as this was said, Tian Xiwei’s small mouth dropped open in shock, and Zhou Ye’s eyes were also bulging out in equal shock!

The eyes of all the socialites and female tycoons present also changed as they looked at Tian Xiwei.

So what if she was just a small star?

At the very least, she could receive the heart of egypt that they couldn’t even wear!

How heavy this love was! This sincerity was simply unprecedented!

Qin Cheng was also petrified!

What the hell?

I could understand you spending thirty million to sleep with a small star!

But now you’re spending four hundred million just to flirt with a popular starlet who isn’t even a Best Actress winner?

Is she worth that price???

Qin Cheng began to doubt his life... The look in the eyes of Yang Mi, Sister Mi, beside him also changed significantly!

If someone gave her a necklace like that, she wouldn’t mind dating them for a bit.

Of course, Cao Lang had his own plans.

He certainly had four hundred million in assets.

But who could refuse a deal where spending four hundred million resulted in an eight hundred million cashback?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on the successful cashback. 800 million huaxia currency has been deposited into your account!]

Who wouldn’t be dazed by this beautiful sound?
