Chapter 610: Hosting an Auction (Third Update)
Chapter 610: Hosting an Auction (Third Update)
Cui Jinhao didn’t care about any of that. Firstly, he was the heir to the H Country’s Six Star Group, hailed as a business prodigy, and he was also the only disciple of the "Sacred Hand" of H Country’s medical field, Jin Chonghuan. But what was most important was that he was the disciple of H Country’s number one fighter, Park Zefeng. With this series of auras, no one in H Country could compete with him; this Lin Feng, no matter how capable, couldn’t compare to him. Once Ding Wan’er arrived in H Country and saw his strength, she would naturally choose to break off her engagement with Lin Feng. He firmly believed this.
After seeing Lin Feng, he felt annoyed internally but secretly pleased. He had originally planned to send someone to deal with Lin Feng while Ding Wan’er was abroad. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to come right into the line of fire by leaving Tianhai for H Country. Wasn’t this much better? Comparison would highlight the differences, and as long as he could thoroughly crush Lin Feng, that would make Ding Wan’er see his shining side even more. Thinking this, Cui Jinhao’s annoyance instantly vanished, and he faced Ding Wan’er with a smile that radiated from within.
"Thank you. It’s an honor for Yingbo University to participate in the International University Exchange Summit. What is our schedule like next?" Ding Wan’er politely bowed slightly in thanks and didn’t take her hand off Lin Feng’s arm to shake hands. The reason being, Ding Wan’er didn’t want to shake hands with Cui Jinhao at all. Right before boarding the plane, she had just found out that Cui Jinhao had become the reception head for the summit, which had already irritated her greatly. She undoubtedly understood that this was all a scheme arranged by Cui Jinhao, but since things had come to this point and there was no way to change it, she could only accept the reality.
However, Ding Wan’er had already made up her mind; wherever she went, she would hold Lin Feng’s hand, to utterly dishearten Cui Jinhao. She was already extremely averse to Cui Jinhao and had no intention of giving him even a sliver of hope.
"That... First, please have the Yingbo University delegation return to the hotel to rest. There will be activities arranged for the evening," Cui Jinhao replied, not expecting Ding Wan’er to be so cold. She hadn’t even extended a hand, forcing him to awkwardly retract his own. He felt like Ding Wan’er had just completely dropped him in public, making his blood boil. He, the heir of the Six Star Group, was snubbed by Ding Wan’er like this...
Cui Jinhao glanced at Lin Feng beside him, his eyes filled with rancorous resentment, thinking that if Lin Feng hadn’t come, Ding Wan’er definitely wouldn’t have treated him like this. It must have been that Lin Feng had been speaking ill of him behind his back; he was determined to utterly discredit Lin Feng later and win back his public face, showing Ding Wan’er that she was wrong in choosing Lin Feng!
But though he thought this, on the surface, Cui Jinhao maintained a smile and spoke genially. Due to his status, he couldn’t expose anything in front of everyone. Only later, when he arranged things, could he deal with Lin Feng. As long as Lin Feng was completely trampled underfoot in H Country, or even left his life there, then Ding Wan’er would not be able to resist his strong advances!
"Alright then, Wan’er, let’s head back to the hotel first," Lin Feng said, without giving Cui Jinhao a second glance, and told Ding Wan’er they should rest at the hotel. Of course, Lin Feng had long noticed that streak of rancor in Cui Jinhao’s eyes but chose not to address it.
"Okay." Hearing Lin Feng say this, Ding Wan’er happily complied, as she also didn’t want to stand there talking to Cui Jinhao.
"There’s a shuttle bus outside for reception, please." Seeing that Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng hadn’t paid any attention to him at all, Cui Jinhao grew even more irate. However, in such a public setting, he could only continue to lead the Yingbo University delegation away with a smile.
Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er, leading the Yingbo University delegation, boarded the reception shuttle bus and slowly left Shoucheng Airport, heading towards the host hotel.
At this moment, Cui Jinhao’s face was as cold as ice, internally seething over not expecting Ding Wan’er and Lin Feng to disrespect him so blatantly, causing him to lose face in public. He flung open the door of the ultra-luxury business car originally prepared for Ding Wan’er, and as soon as he shut the car door, he was seething with fury over the recent events...
"Lin Feng, just you wait! I’ll make sure you get what’s coming to you!" Cui Jinhao was now burning with jealousy. Since Ding Wan’er had left the airport, she hardly deigned to glance at him, instead focusing all her attention on Lin Feng. How could he accept this? If possible, he would have long desired to become the person by Ding Wan’er’s side and make Lin Feng disappear completely...
......
Cui Jinhao returned to his office with a face as dark as iron, resembling an enraged lion, scaring the secretaries at the door so much they didn’t know what to do. They had never seen the General Manager so furious; they could only shiver outside, not daring to enter, praying in their hearts that they wouldn’t be called in, or else they would be in big trouble...
Half an hour later, Cui Jinhao finally regained his composure, picked up a bottle of wine, and started drinking it with big gulps; however, he was still very restless inside, his thoughts chaotic, unable to conjure up any good plans to strike at Lin Feng and win over Ding Wan’er’s heart. Out of options, he had no choice but to call Jin Junxi, asking him to come over and advise him.
Upon receiving Cui Jinhao’s call, Jin Junxi immediately rushed to his office. But as soon as he entered and saw Cui Jinhao’s grim face, he was taken aback; he too had never seen Cui Jinhao this thunderously angry and felt nervous himself.
"General Manager, what do you want to arrange for me?" Jin Junxi walked up to Cui Jinhao and asked cautiously. Although he had been with Cui Jinhao for several years, he still had to be careful in such a situation. In front of an irate Cui Jinhao, it was best to tread lightly to avoid getting burned.
"Find me a way to humiliate that Lin Feng. I want to crush him and let Ding Wan’er know that I am the most suitable for her. Oh, Wan’er won’t attend private gatherings, so it has to be during the international university exchange summit, otherwise she will definitely refuse to participate." Cui Jinhao had calmed down a bit now. After venting, he knew that unleashing his anger wouldn’t solve the problem. All he could do now was to figure out a way to crush Lin Feng, only then could there be a chance to win back Ding Wan’er’s heart. But he couldn’t think of any good plans now, so he had to rely on Jin Junxi to come up with one.
Jin Junxi was someone he was quite satisfied with. Over the past period, Jin Junxi had given him many reasonable suggestions, helping him deal with many troublesome matters. So as soon as he calmed down a bit, he called Jin Junxi over. As a direct member of his team, Jin Junxi would surely come up with the best plan for him. Cui Jinhao was confident in this.
"General Manager, let me think..." After listening to Cui Jinhao’s words, Jin Junxi began to think seriously. He was well aware of the situation. Although he hadn’t gone to pick up the guests at the airport in the morning, he had heard others mention it and knew that Cui Jinhao was bound to be furious, but he hadn’t expected such a thunderous rage from him. Now that he was here, he had to come up with a good idea for Cui Jinhao or else he might be in big trouble. With that in mind, Jin Junxi gave a brief reply and then concentrated on thinking...
After pondering for over half an hour and considering many options, he weighed them carefully and finally decided on the most suitable plan before he spoke to Cui Jinhao.
"General Manager, what do you think of this plan? You could talk to the summit organizers about hosting an auction, with all proceeds donated to the summit for event funds. Under this guise, we can invite all the school heads to the auction, giving Dean Ding no reason to refuse. Then, we could bid a high price on an item to give to Ding Wan’er, seizing the opportunity to undermine Lin Feng while showcasing your strength—it’s killing two birds with one stone."
"As for the auction items, I think you could invite some celebrities from H Country to donate something. After all, this also promotes the educational exchange between H Country and the world’s elite universities, and I believe they would be willing to participate. With them involved, it will be much easier, and we can also contribute some items of our own. This way, the event will be flawless, leaving no room for anyone to find fault. General Manager, what do you think?"
Jin Junxi explained his entire suggestion clearly. The reason it was the most suitable suggestion was that by doing so, it would maximize the potential to obscure Cui Jinhao’s control over the situation, while also being a grandiose and rightful part of the committee’s scheduled activities. Ding Wan’er would then have no reason to refuse participation, and it would enable Cui Jinhao to naturally perform some actions. Indeed, this was the best plan from every perspective.
"Excellent, very good, let’s do it! I’ll contact people right away, and you go immediately to arrange things for the biggest auction in Shoucheng tonight." Hearing Jin Junxi’s suggestion, Cui Jinhao’s eyes brightened and he praised Jin Junxi’s idea. The plan was indeed perfect; he could manipulate the auction to give something to Ding Wan’er. In the public eye, Lin Feng would definitely lose face completely. Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
With that thought, he hurriedly instructed Jin Junxi to go out and arrange matters, while he himself would immediately contact the upper echelons of Shoucheng’s high society. As Jin Junxi mentioned, those celebrities surely wouldn’t miss this opportunity for fame, especially with his personal leadership, they would be even less likely to refuse—no doubt they would participate in the auction very actively and enthusiastically.
