Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire!

84 Mockery

Just as Liu Yun was about to retort, he heard Liu Fan say again, “Moreover, regardless of whether this is your younger brother or not, don’t you still have to discipline him? Aren’t you too insensitive? Do you know who is present today? They are all high-ranking officials and nobles from both the province and abroad.”

“And now, you brought such a brat over and still dared to occupy a seat in the venue. Do you want this child to be on equal footing with us? Is he worthy?”

Liu Yun simply felt a wave of anger rush from his feet to his head. He could not tolerate it!

This was too f*cking excessive!

!!

Just as Liu Yun was about to rush over and fight Liu Fan, an honest voice sounded. It was an old man sitting in the first row. “Since you’re here, sit down and wait for the auction!”

Liu Yun looked at the old man. The old man was wearing a long robe and his eyes were narrowed. Ever since Liu Yuan and Ye Xuan entered, this person had not opened his eyes slightly.

Liu Fan and Liu Yun looked at each other and then at the old man. They did not expect this person to speak too. However, no one said anything.

After sitting down, Liu Yun explained to Ye Xuan, “Brother Ye, the old man here is called Zhang Feng. He’s the head of the famous Zhang family in Suhang. He has many businesses under him. I heard that the Zhang family has to pay more than a billion a year just to pay taxes.”

Compared to Zhang Feng, Liu Yun was nothing. If not for his father’s identity, he would not have the qualifications to be on equal footing with such a person.

“I understand.” Ye Xuan nodded.

At this moment, an auctioneer walked to the center and looked at everyone present. He said loudly, “First of all, thank you for coming! Let’s not waste any time and enter today’s auction segment.”

The auctioneer didn’t say anything else and got someone to bring over a small fish tank. Inside was a small white and orange fish that was only four to five centimeters long.

When everyone saw the small fish, they discussed its breed.

“What kind of fish is this? It looks a little unfamiliar! Look at its dorsal fin. It’s so unique!”

“I’ve never seen it either! Is it a rare species?”

“It must be an extremely rare kind! Since when did ordinary fish appear at the fish exhibition auction?”

“It looks so beautiful. This fish is also full of vitality!”

Seeing that everyone was guessing, the auctioneer gave the answer. “This is a Bladefin Basslet from the deep sea area of Cura?ao. It’s extremely rare! The last recorded auction item was a three-centimeter-long Bladefin Basslet from seven years ago.”

Now, this one was five centimeters long. Be it in terms of rarity or length, it was dozens of times more precious than the previous one!

The guests were surprised, and many of them revealed eager expressions.

If such a rare species was raised in their own fish tank, they would be so proud!

Moreover, this could be considered an investment. If someone liked it and bought it at a high price, they could easily earn a sum.

The starting price was 10,000 USD. It was a very reasonable price.

The bosses were very enthusiastic and raised the price as if their lives depended on it. In the end, the price gradually stopped at 100,000 USD.

One hundred thousand USD was equivalent to 700,000 yuan. It was really an astronomical price for a fish!

Ye Xuan found it interesting and asked Liu Yun, “Doesn’t your father like this? Aren’t you going to buy one for him?”

From the introduction of the auctioneer just now, this Bladefin Basslet seemed to be extremely rare.

Liu Yun looked very open-minded and said, “Brother Ye, you don’t know about this, right? This kind of fish is so rare. Who knows how to raise it best? It’s especially difficult to find some information! Not only is it difficult to raise, but the price is also so high. Wouldn’t it be a waste if the fish dies?”

When Ye Xuan heard what he said, it made sense.

However, what Ye Xuan didn’t know was that Liu Yun looked at the fish and frowned. He didn’t have that much cash.

However, if he said this, he would probably be laughed at by Brother Ye, so he looked for a similar reason.

Of course, this was also his personal experience.

Previously, he had used his pocket money to buy a fish for his father. He thought that if he could win his father’s favor, wouldn’t he earn back the money he spent?

Therefore, he bought a rare fish species that cost more than 100,000 yuan and brought it home.

His father was also overjoyed when he first obtained the fish species. He took all kinds of photos to show off to his friends.

However, when it was time to raise the fish, he was dumbfounded.

After checking a lot of information, he did not even know what the fish ate.

In the end, before he could show it to his old friends, the little fish died.

His father felt embarrassed and taught Liu Yun a lesson. He said that Liu Yun dared to spend money to buy things without knowing anything.

The next few auctions were all rare fish that everyone had never heard of, causing a commotion.

The eyes of those high-ranking officials and nobles widened.

“Oh my god, that’s a Peppermint Angelfish! Isn’t it too beautiful? I love these stripes!”

“This price is indeed a little high! In the past two years, the fish market has become more and more active. The price of these high-end ornamental fish is almost astronomical!”

“It’s indeed different. It’s even better than what I saw in Xiangjiang.”

Everyone’s attitude was similar. They just tried their best to offer the highest price they could afford. Whether they could buy it depended on fate.

Ye Xuan seemed like he was here to watch the show. He realized that the snacks prepared at the auction tasted good and started to taste them leisurely.

He sipped a mouthful of fragrant tea and ate a mouthful of snacks. How comfortable!

Meanwhile, Liu Fan’s bid failed. Just as he was feeling depressed, he saw the blissful Ye Xuan.

Liu Fan sneered as if he had found an extremely good pastime. He teased, “Young Master Liu, did you bring your brother to the auction house to freeload? In my opinion, since you’re already here and your brother is on equal footing with us, you should be more generous.”

“Look, all the high-ranking officials and nobles sitting have bid, except you. You can also bid Even if you can’t buy it, it’s good to have a good time!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Liu Yun and Ye Xuan. They also knew that Liu Fan’s words just now were just to embarrass Liu Yun and Ye Xuan.

How could they buy such expensive fish?

This was especially the case for Ye Xuan. A child like him had to rely on his association with Liu Yun to enter. Moreover, he was eight to nine years old. How could he state a price in this kind of situation? Wasn’t this nonsense?

“Huh.”

Beside her, a girl immediately laughed. Then, a middle-aged man beside her looked at his daughter and frowned.

His daughter was usually quite well-mannered and had never made any big mistakes in big occasions. Why was she so unreserved now?

“Xiaoyue, what’s wrong?” The middle-aged man said with displeasure.

Then, the girl sat up straight and whispered into her father’s ear.

The general meaning was that she felt that Ye Xuan looked familiar and just remembered that she had seen him on a live-stream. Ye Xuan’s sister was a streamer and she even brought him to her live-stream before.

Although the girl’s voice was not loud, the hall was silent at this moment, so almost everyone heard what she said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s faces were filled with disdain. Liu Fan also laughed out loud.

Although there were all kinds of professions, in their opinion, Internet celebrities were simply online beggars. They were even worse than actors. For high-ranking officials and nobles like them, if their son got together with an actor, they would not even allow it, let alone now that they were sharing a room with an internet celebrity’s younger brother and were on equal footing with him.

It was simply ironic.

“Young Master Liu, I really misunderstood you. Could it be that you recently approached an internet celebrity streamer with tips? You even brought her brother out to see the world!”

As soon as he said this, the derogatory meaning became even stronger.

“Sigh, this auction is so noisy.” Even the old man, Zhang Feng, shook his head helplessly. Then, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Today, Liu Yun had embarrassed himself and the Liu family in front of these high-ranking officials and nobles.
