CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55 NO WOMAN CAN WITHSTAND THIS SURPRISE

Liu Chunming could never have imagined that Zhang Jingdong would dare to spend 200,000 yuan at his first attempt, especially when it seemed he was just playing around.

Because that jade hairpin definitely wasn’t worth 200,000, and Zhang Jingdong buying it surely wasn’t for his own use.

Once he recalled how the two of them had casually ordered nearly 10,000 worth of wine just now, he was completely nonchalant.

So, although Liu Chunming didn’t want to accept it, he had no choice but to admit that Zhang Jingdong was a bona fide rich second-generation.

As for Chen Jie, aside from being shocked by Zhang Jingdong, she also felt inferior compared to An Lu.

She had originally thought An Lu had poor taste in men, only to find out that not only was she not mistaken, but she had also picked a truly exemplary golden bachelor!

And Zhang Jingdong was still so young, with a good physique, and so handsome... At this moment, Chen Jie was genuinely impressed!

There was no way around it, by comparing Zhang Jingdong with Liu Chunming, she had to admit defeat!

An Lu too was startled by Zhang Jingdong’s wealth for the first time!

Before, Zhang Jingdong told her he made hundreds of thousands through business, then opened this restaurant.

But just buying those two Audi A6s today would cost him nearly one million, and now he has spent another 200,000.

The most critical thing was, looking at his expression right now, it seemed like this sum of over one million simply didn’t matter to him.

An Lu, after all, worked at a bank and had seen all sorts of people daily. Because she was too familiar with Zhang Jingdong, she never seriously analyzed him.

But at this moment, objectively analyzing Zhang Jingdong, she felt his net worth must be at least tens of millions.

Thinking about this, she felt a sudden sense of relief, mixed with a bit of worry.

What she was relieved about was that when she established a relationship with Zhang Jingdong, he hadn’t yet shown how wealthy he was.

And what worried her was with Zhang Jingdong being so wealthy, it might be difficult for her to monopolize his heart in the future.

While An Lu was lost in thought, the host on stage spoke, "Let’s invite tonight’s auction winner on stage with a round of applause!"

Upon hearing this, the entire venue instantly burst into tremendous applause and cheering.

At the same time, the crowd below was looking around curiously, clearly fascinated by the badass who dared to spend 200,000 in such an event.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong took a sip of his drink, stood up, but didn’t rush to the stage. Instead, he turned and extended his hand towards An Lu.

An Lu was at first stunned, then immediately filled with surprise.

She clearly didn’t expect that Zhang Jingdong would choose such a highly public moment to let her share the limelight with him on stage.

Seeing her reaction, Zhang Jingdong casually said, "I bought it for you, of course you should come up with me, let’s go!"

An Lu then stood up, overwhelmed with favor, and followed Zhang Jingdong onto the stage.

And in the moment the two went on stage, the applause and cheers from below suddenly intensified.

Because everyone suddenly realized that these two were a handsome couple.

Especially the beauty, with her looks, figure, outfit, and her aura, was simply like a female star.

Although the handsome guy was slightly less impressive, he was definitely good-looking too.

And after all, he had just spent 200,000 effortlessly; just because of this, he was absolutely among the most attractive rich men.

Then the host smiled and said to Zhang Jingdong, "Congratulations on winning the best item of the evening, and I must also say, sir, you have set a new record for the highest transaction price ever since the auction segment started at The Wealthy Club!"

"Could you say a few words to everyone?"

Zhang Jingdong took the microphone from the host, then casually put his arm around An Lu’s shoulder: "The reason I did this is very simple, I just wanted to make her smile, because she is the woman I love the most!"

As Zhang Jingdong said this, he turned and kissed An Lu’s cheek, and the entire place instantly erupted!

Among them, most men envied him for being so rich and having such a beautiful girlfriend.

And the women envied An Lu for finding such a handsome and wealthy boyfriend, who especially loved her so much.

And the woman who envied her the most among them was Chen Jie.

Not only because Zhang Jingdong was richer, younger, and handsomer than Liu Chunming, but most importantly, she could tell that Zhang Jingdong truly loved An Lu.

Chen Jie, although she had dated many rich boyfriends over the years, without exception, they all just wanted to sleep with her and never truly loved her.

At this moment, she wholeheartedly admitted she lost to An Lu.

While An Lu, as the object of envy of nearly every woman in the room, was thoroughly moved by Zhang Jingdong’s words.

At the same time, this was the first time she felt a real sense of security.

"The host has successfully gained 20 points of goodwill from the target character, and a reward of one million yuan!"

Zhang Jingdong instantly felt delighted, he knew this kind of surprise was irresistible to any woman.

He couldn’t help but grasp An Lu’s hand tightly.

And An Lu returned his gaze with one full of endless love.

After this, the host handed the box containing the jade hairpin to Zhang Jingdong, and the two stepped down from the stage.

Zhang Jingdong resumed his seat soon after, and a staff member from the big tycoon’s workforce came over.

Zhang Jingdong, in front of Liu Chunming and Chen Jie, took out his bank card and swiped for 200,000 yuan.

After the staff member left, Liu Chunming, for the first time somewhat humbly, said, "Bro, that’s impressive, dropping 200 grand just like that!"

Zhang Jingdong no longer bothered to hide his brilliance, casually saying, "What’s this amount of money? As long as my woman’s happy, even if it’s 1 million, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit!"

Though Liu Chunming didn’t agree, he had no choice but to admit, "That’s the spirit!"

He paused, then added, "So... shall we continue drinking?"

He had been tricked by Zhang Jingdong earlier tonight, and now was overshadowed by Zhang Jingdong’s spending. The only way to turn the tables completely and soothe his spite was to drink him under the table and into the hospital.

Zhang Jingdong noticed his sinister thoughts and thought to himself, I was originally going to let you off, but you’re asking for this.

He then said, "Of course!"

So the two resumed their competitive drinking bout.

Ten minutes later, each man had downed another bottle of vodka.

At this time, Liu Chunming began to feel slightly drunk, almost completely flush in the face.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jingdong, only to find that Zhang Jingdong’s complexion was still the same, hardly any different from before drinking.

For the first time, Liu Chunming felt a bit panicked!

He had never encountered such an awesome guy in the world of boozing!

But he knew he couldn’t afford to lose now, so he had to keep drinking, gritting his teeth.

At this point, Zhang Jingdong raised his hand to summon the salesperson: "Bring another 6 bottles of vodka!"

At this moment, even the salesperson was a bit frightened by their capacity for alcohol, hesitating to say, "You..."

Zhang Jingdong cut him off directly: "What, is there a problem?"

"No... no problem!"

The other party hurriedly went to fetch the alcohol.

Now, Liu Chunming, looking at the bottles on the table, felt inexplicably uncomfortable for the first time.

It should be known that previously, seeing alcohol excited him just like a general on the battlefield spotting quality weapons, but now... he suddenly felt a bit nauseous.

By now, Zhang Jingdong had already poured the drinks for the both of them.

"Mr. Liu, shall we continue?"

Liu Chunming had no choice but to forcefully push down the urge to vomit, once again picking up his glass: "Of course!"

After downing another three glasses in a row, Liu Chunming couldn’t hold back anymore and vomited outright.

He panicked instantly, hastily trying to explain with a face full of shame, "I... I’m fine..."

Before he could finish, he vomited again.

And with the vomiting, tears also started to flow.

The expression on his face at this moment was truly spectacular, filled with regret, shame, and disbelief.

He couldn’t comprehend how, after mixing in these circles for so many years, he could lose so completely to this youngster Zhang Jingdong, so utterly and miserably.

And Chen Jie by his side felt utterly heartbroken at this point.

She could never have imagined that Liu Chunming would not only be less wealthy than Zhang Jingdong, not as young, not as handsome, but now... he had also lost to Zhang Jingdong in his most proud aspect, his tolerance for alcohol!

In that instant, she suddenly realized that Zhang Jingdong was simply Liu Chunming’s nemesis.

Then she sadly realized that An Lu seemed to be her own unbeatable nemesis for life.

Thinking this, she sighed silently, then stepped forward to help Liu Chunming.

"Mr. Zhang, An Lu, he’s had too much, we’ll be leaving..."

But just when Liu Chunming had finished vomiting, he refused: "Who’s had too much, you’re the one who’s had too much, get the hell out of my way..."

Seeing him getting into a drunken frenzy, Chen Jie became both anxious and ashamed: "Chunming, stop making a scene, let’s go home!"

"Who the hell’s going home with you, I have a wife, who are you, get lost..."

Hearing this, Chen Jie wished she could just crawl into a hole. Both ashamed and angry, she gave Liu Chunming a glare, then turned and walked away indignantly.

Seeing her leave, Liu Chunming let himself go completely, turned his head, and fueled by anger and alcohol, said to Zhang Jingdong and the others: "You all are goddamn..."

Catching Liu Chunming’s mood to continue the ruckus, Zhang Jingdong’s gaze turned sharp. While pulling An Lu close to him, he raised his hand to signal the marketer: "Take him outside, get him a car!"

As he spoke, he casually handed over a thousand yuan.

The other party quickly said, "Okay!"

They called over two security guards, and together the three of them hauled Liu Chunming out.
