Chapter 389 - 235: Sorry, My Budget is Ten Million US Dollars_2
For a moment, various domineering CEO storylines played through her mind.
The next item was a jade-carved Buddha statue. Although the jade used wasn’t of a very precious kind, it was significantly larger than the previous one, with a starting bid of thirty Everbright Lamps.
Li Ang didn’t dawdle, and soon after their bidding began, he ended the competition with a direct bid of five Life Medals, which was equal to 50,000 US Dollars.
At this point, even Mage Yan Feng, who had been sitting on the side, showed a satisfied smile, clearly approving of Li Ang’s performance.
When Li Ang spent another 30,000 US Dollars to secure the third Buddhist relic, the eldest sister in Gao Ranran’s dormitory finally realized that he was simply rich and capricious.
But wait, something’s off. Could there be a possibility that he didn’t want to make his romantic feelings too obvious, so he deliberately bought other items as a cover, only to end up gifting her the Buddha amulet?
She recalled a plot she often saw in short videos, where a boy would buy something for the whole class just to ensure that the girl he secretly liked also got it. The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and her gaze towards Li Ang became increasingly tender.
The fourth Buddhist relic, 60,000 US Dollars; the fifth Buddhist relic, 80,000 US Dollars; Li Ang made a bid only once each time, but each of his bids at least doubled the already sky-high price, ensuring he nabbed every item auctioned thus far.
It was as if he was not at an auction but had come to stock up on goods.
The young auctioneer, a monk, was increasingly exhilarated. This Buddhist gathering was his debut, and encountering a generous donor like Li Ang made all his month-long preparations worthwhile.
The higher the final bid for the items, the higher his commission would be.
"This sixth item is a Ming Dynasty Buddha statue created by a highly respected monk from Shaolin Temple. Due to warfare, this statue was lost and, after several changes of hands, came into possession of a destined donor who now wishes to find a true connoisseur at this Buddhist gathering."
