C158 The Bidding Began(1)
Lee Zhuohua and Lin Wunian returned to the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce's seats, and Zi Lan and Lin Wunian welcomed them.
When Zi Lan saw Zhao Hanyan holding onto Lee Zhuohua's left arm, her heart skipped a beat, as if an uncomfortable feeling was spreading out.
However, Zi Lan did not say anything, and on the surface, she looked normal.
"Miss, please sit down for a while. When the competition starts, Young Master Lee and I will get our revenge." Lin Wunian stepped forward and comforted her.
Facing Lin Wunian's comforting words, Zhao Hanyan's expression slightly recovered.
"I'm fine." Zhao Hanyan shook his head and said.
Although Zhao Hanyan said that, he did not seem to be fine.
"I still have to thank you, Young Master Lee." Zhao Hanyan turned his head and said to Lee Zhuohua.
However, when she turned her head, she found Lee Zhuohua looking at her with a smile. Zhao Hanyan was confused, not knowing why he was looking at her like that.
"Miss Zhao, you should let go of me first." Lee Zhuohua's gaze moved down and said.
"Hmm?" Zhao Hanyan followed Lee Zhuohua's gaze.
Only then did he realize that he was still holding onto Lee Zhuohua's hand and did not let go.
"Ah." Zhao Hanyan exclaimed in his heart and quickly let go of Lee Zhuohua's arm as if he had been electrocuted.
"I... I..." She whimpered as if she wanted to explain something, but found that she couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Zhao Hanyan no longer had the slightest bit of anger on his face. He had long since been completely washed away by the shame in his heart.
A red glow quickly climbed up her face from her neck at a speed visible to the naked eye, all the way to her ears.
Lee Zhuohua did not expect Zhao Hanyan's reaction to be so big. For a moment, he was speechless. He thought that it was just a grab on his arm. Why did he have to have such a big reaction?
When Zi Lan, who was standing at the side, saw this scene, the uncomfortable feeling that was originally pervading her heart began to gradually dissipate. She finally understood that Lee Zhuohua did not know anything about the affairs between men and women. Thinking of this, Zi Lan could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
With Zi Lan's smile, the redness on Zhao Hanyan's face deepened.
As for Lee Zhuohua, he looked at Zi Lan who was at the side and Zhao Hanyan who was blushing in confusion.
"What's wrong with Miss Zhao?" Lee Zhuohua said with a smile.
"N-Nothing." Zhao Hanyan said in a panic.
At this moment, Zhao Hanyan was in a state of panic. She did not know why she would have such a big reaction, but she knew that this was not the right time to do so.
"Young Master Lee, thank you for what you did. He mocked my Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce. We don't have to cause trouble for him now. We can just find him again in the bidding competition." Zhao Hanyan calmed down and changed the subject.
When Lee Zhuohua heard Zhao Hanyan's words, he did not think too much about it.
"Miss Zhao is right. We'll see the result in the competition later." Lee Zhuohua looked at Lin Wunian as he spoke. "Butler Lin, thank you for your help later."
Lin Wunian just waved his hand.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for the bidding war to begin.
...
"Please allow the participants from the various Chambers of Commerce to enter." White Light looked at the time and shouted at Jing Jingxuan's signal.
When the participants of the various chambers of commerce heard White Light's voice, they knew that the bidding competition was about to begin. They all stood up and walked into the empty arena in the central plaza.
"Tidal waves, let's go." Qin Weiyang glanced at the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce and said to Qin Haichao who was beside him.
"Big brother, no one is my opponent in this competition. Why do you still want to go up with me?" Initially, Haichao thought that he would be able to win the competition by himself, but he did not expect Qin Weiyang to go up as well.
When Qin Weiyang heard Qin Haichao's words, he shook his head slightly.
"Just in case," Qin Weiyang said lightly.
On the side of the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce.
After Chiang Jin heard the white light's voice, he slowly opened his eyes and walked towards the arena alone.
In the seats of the Chamber of Commerce where Gray Robed Man was seated.
"Let's go. In a while, we will snatch away the flag of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce." Gray Robed Man said to his companion beside him. He looked coldly in the direction of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce.
Gray Robed Man was angry at Lee Zhuohua's actions just now, and he wanted to embarrass Lee Zhuohua in the bidding competition.
Although there were only twenty Chambers of Commerce participating in the bidding competition, there was no single person limit in the bidding competition. Thus, there were dozens of people who entered the arena.
Dozens of people walked into the field in a bustling manner, and the originally empty square immediately became crowded.
White Light looked at the many contestants who walked into the arena and nodded his head slightly.
"All of you are representatives of the Chambers of Commerce in the Imperial Capital. Next up is the long-awaited bidding. The rules are the same as ever, and each Chamber of Commerce has its own flag, and the one with the most flags is the final winner." White Light loudly read out the rules of the bidding match.
"Conversely, having your flag stolen means that you're disqualified. So everyone must carefully protect your own flag." Speaking up to here, White Light's gaze swept across all the contestants in the central plaza.
After White Light said out this rule, all the contestants exchanged a glance. One could faintly discern hostility from it.
"Then, may I invite all the participants to be in their positions? The bidding war officially begins." White Light announced the start of the bidding war loudly.
After White Light gave the order, the many contestants in the plaza immediately pulled away from each other and moved closer to their own camps, carefully keeping an eye on the people from the other chambers of commerce.
