Everyone was instantly drawn to the voice.
Luo Chen had appeared at the doorway at some point, and another woman stood beside him.
That woman had an exquisite face, as if carved by the heavens, both radiant and dignified.
“Jin Suyan?”
Someone shouted out loud instantly.
Jin Suyan? Ziyuan was also taken aback, then looked closely again. Who else could it be but Jin Suyan?
Why would she be with Luo Chen?
But before everyone had time to consider this, Yuan Lianghua spoke coldly.
“You still dare to come?”
“Mr. Luo Wuji will arrive here soon. Instead of running at this time, you actually dare to appear before us?” Han Donglai also snorted coldly.
Zhang Yang, Yuan Na and the others spoke up too.
“I came to celebrate Ziyuan’s birthday.” Luo Chen glanced at Jin Suyan beside him, and many people followed behind Luo Chen, holding various items.
“Celebrate a birthday?”
“You must be joking!” Han Donglai sneered.
“Everyone, let me handle this matter.” At this time, Chen Jianbin, the richest man in Nanling, stepped out with a cold smile.
“This place was booked by Mr. Chen with his own money. For this Luo to come today, isn’t he asking for humiliation?” Zhang Yang and the others whispered.
“Hmph, when he gets thrown out later, let’s see if he can still hold his head up.” Chen Jie also mocked from the side.
But Chen Jianbin had already stepped forward, speaking from a position of superiority.
“Today this venue was booked by me, and I didn’t give you an invitation either. You say you want to celebrate Ziyuan’s birthday?”
“To speak bluntly, you don’t even have the qualification to step foot in here today!” Chen Jianbin snorted coldly.
“Still celebrating a birthday?”
“I think you’re here to ask for trouble!”
“Security, please show him out.” Chen Jianbin sneered.
The few security guards at the door hesitated, but finally braced themselves and went up.
“Sir, sorry, today is a private gathering, this place…”
“I booked this place, at double the price.” Luo Chen spoke very calmly. The security guards were stunned at once.
“Double the price?” Chen Jianbin laughed coldly again and again.
“What? Before you competed with my son to throw money around?”
“Now you still want to compete with me to throw money around?” Chen Jianbin naturally knew about his son’s money-throwing affair, which had made Chen Jianbin feel uncomfortable inside. After all, he was the richest man in Nanling. When had he ever feared anyone when it came to money?
Hearing Luo Chen mention money at this moment, he immediately laughed. The remaining people also laughed, because before when Luo Chen and Chen Jie competed to throw money around, Chen Jie lost because after all he was just a rich second generation.
But Chen Jianbin was different. He was the true richest man in Nanling. Mentioning money before him? That was really courting death.
“If you want to throw money around, I can accompany you once.” Luo Chen said this deliberately. Because of the ten billion in his hands, so far only two billion had been spent, with nearly 7.9 billion remaining. Spending such a large sum of money was actually quite a headache.
“Hahaha, Luo, you want to compete with my dad to throw money around?” Chen Jie stood out to speak now, but his eyes were full of mockery.
“I didn’t hear wrong, you want to compete with our Nanling’s richest man to throw money around?”
“Has he gone mad?” Many people looked at Luo Chen with complete astonishment in their eyes.
“Luo Chen, calm down.” Ziyuan quickly stepped forward to pull Luo Chen. After all, that was the richest man in Nanling.
If he competed with the richest man in Nanling to throw money around, wasn’t that deliberately being wasteful and making a fool of himself?
And no matter how rich you were, could you be richer than the richest man in Nanling? Even if your family truly owned a mine, he could make you spend it all.
And Chen Jianbin looked at Luo Chen proudly. If Luo Chen truly wanted to throw money around, he would accompany him to the end, even if it meant spending his entire fortune.
Because this was something Luo Wuji requested to celebrate Ziyuan’s birthday. This matter he could not and dared not mess up.
And even if he spent his entire fortune, so what?
As long as he pleased Luo Wuji, with one word from him, he could gain even more. Not to mention, he didn’t think Luo Chen could outspend him.
After all, he was the richest man in Nanling. Several hundred million or over a billion might just be numbers to ordinary people.
But when you truly had even one hundred million, you would discover just how much confidence you truly had.
Not to mention the several billion in assets in his hands.
“If you throw money, I’ll accompany you to the end!” Chen Jianbin snorted coldly.
“Good!” Luo Chen didn’t mind Ziyuan’s obstruction, and directly spoke out.
The security guards saw this situation didn’t look like a joke, so they quickly ran to get the boss. The remaining people present all wore expressions of waiting to see Luo Chen’s joke.
Ziyuan looked at Luo Chen anxiously, but Luo Chen gave Ziyuan a reassuring look.
Very quickly, the hotel boss came personally.
That was a fat man with long hair and an amiable smile, but when he saw Luo Chen, he was clearly stunned.
Because he discovered Luo Chen was actually an Esper, and a level-one Esper at that.
You must know, in China, Espers were actually very few. Even level-one Espers were rare.
And he himself was a level-three Esper.
“Hehe, Boss Zhang.” Han Donglai and the others stepped forward to greet him, clearly knowing this Boss Zhang.
But Boss Zhang, because he was an Esper, had always looked down on Han Donglai and the others.
Plus his background was actually quite substantial, because this Boss Zhang, despite his unremarkable appearance, had connections in the Esper Association.
“Do you two mean to bid, with the highest bidder winning?” Boss Zhang looked at these two with interest.
He naturally wished these two would do this.
“No, after all I’m also the richest man in Nanling. If we played like that, wouldn’t it lose my face?”
“My meaning is, whatever price we call, we immediately give you that amount, and even if we lose, this money won’t be returned, only treating it as buying some happiness for Miss Ziyuan.” The corner of Chen Jianbin’s mouth curved into a cold smile.
The meaning was very obvious, just like giving rewards to a streamer. Once this money was thrown out, it couldn’t be taken back.
Once these words landed, everyone’s expressions immediately changed.
If the highest bidder won, then the losing side would only lose face.
They wouldn’t suffer financially.
But Chen Jianbin’s words were clearly meant to trap Luo Chen.
Because he was very confident the final winner would definitely be himself, but he wasn’t stupid. If Luo Chen desperately drove up the price, and finally said, I lost, you take it.
Then wouldn’t he have spent money for nothing?
But with his previous proposal, even if the other party lost, the other party would still have to spend the money.
“Do you dare or not?” Chen Jianbin looked at Luo Chen contemptuously.
Fighting with me, you might still be too green.
