"Hehe, it's for a good cause, letting those kids have free nutritious meals is worth it. Besides, haven't I given her enough gifts already? Auctioning one piece won't make this girl feel heartache at all, haha..."
Xu Xinghan sat in the center, exuding a casual air, and said with a smile.
"Five million."
"Five million two hundred thousand."
"..."
After the price climbed to five million, the upward trend started to slow down.
"Five million six hundred thousand, this gentleman has bid five million six hundred thousand, is there no higher offer?"
The female host scanned the room and asked.
However, this time no one raised a paddle to bid further.
"Since I'm here, I might as well contribute a bit myself."
Qin Yang thought for a moment and inwardly mused that his wealth was quite substantial now, so he could do some good deeds too.
This was a gathering of top entrepreneurs from Jiangnan, and he thought that no one would dare to blatantly embezzle anything under watchful eyes. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face of all the businesses here. He hoped the funds could genuinely be used for those children's school lunches in the mountain regions.
"Ten million."
Qin Yang raised his hand and gently made a bid.
"Ten million?!"
With one strike, the price was increased by over four million, almost doubling it. This number immediately gathered everyone's attention in the room.
At this moment, the spotlight also turned onto Qin Yang's face.
However, what these entrepreneurs saw was an unfamiliar face. Except for Xu Mengjie and Li Manni, no one else present knew Qin Yang.
Even those rich people who had visited Qin Yang's Feipu Manor rarely saw him in person.
The entrepreneurs seated with Qin Yang were even more astonished, as this young man in simple attire had actually bid ten million.
At charity events like these, many entrepreneurs would make donations, but typically it would only be in the tens of thousands, and at most in the hundreds of thousands. They too earned their money with hard work.
From one event to another, the funds usually totaled around ten million or so. This time, someone had directly bid ten million.
Onstage, Xu Mengjie slightly covered her small mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with a trace of surprise. Clearly, she didn't expect the bid to come from Qin Yang.
"Who is this?"
"Which family's young master is he? I haven't seen him before..."
"..."
After a brief silence among the entrepreneurs present, a hint of doubt appeared in their eyes.
Seeing not only the spotlight but also numerous surprised and curious gazes directed at him, Qin Yang was at a loss for words. He truly wasn't trying to show off; he just wanted to make a charitable contribution.
"Mr. Xu, whose young master is that, daringly throwing out ten million, quite the gesture."
The plump middle-aged man sitting next to Xu Xinghan said.
Xu Xinghan turned his head to glance at Qin Yang, but he found he didn't recognize the young man either.
"I don't know him either."
Xu Xinghan shook his head and said.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you should be careful. I suspect this fellow is likely making a move on your precious daughter, which explains such a generous bid."
The plump middle-aged man said with a laugh.
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Xu Xinghan's eyes. He shook his head with a smile, thinking it wasn't impossible. After all, there hadn't been a shortage of wealthy suitors for his daughter in recent years.
However, to think that a mere ten million would earn his favor or win his daughter's affection would be to underestimate him or his precious daughter too much.
At least in terms of wealth, the Xu Family didn't need to cling to anyone in Huaxia, as few families surpassed the Xu Family in wealth. Therefore, ten million, significant to others, was just a drop in the ocean for Xu Xinghan.
"Sir, are you bidding ten million?"
Onstage, the female host asked.
Qin Yang smiled slightly and nodded.
"Ten million is truly an astonishing number. Thank you for your generous bid, and for your generous donation to the children in the mountain regions. Also, thank you to Miss Xu Mengjie for donating this precious pearl necklace. Could I invite you to come on stage to take a photo with Miss Xu Mengjie?"
The female host looked at Qin Yang with a smile, not doubting for a moment, since those who could enter this event were esteemed figures in Jiangnan. Since he made the bid, he would certainly fulfill it.
Seeing all eyes on him, Qin Yang couldn't refuse, especially since it was just a photo with Xu Mengjie.
"Alright."
With that, Qin Yang nodded and stood up.
At this moment, the venue erupted into warm applause. Even if people didn't know Qin Yang, his assured demeanor was unmistakable, so no one here doubted his ability to fork out that ten million.
Qin Yang made his way onto the stage, followed closely by the spotlight.
Onstage, Qin Yang stood next to Xu Mengjie while photographers prepared to take pictures.
"Qin Yang, that's ten million; it's not a small sum..."
Xu Mengjie said softly.
This guy was indeed surprising, bidding so easily for ten million. But upon thinking about it, it wasn't hard to understand that someone who could grow such delicious grapes wasn't ordinary.
"Don't worry, I have it."
Qin Yang said with a light laugh.
After speaking, Qin Yang took out a checkbook and a pen from his pocket. Of course, the checkbook and pen were actually summoned from his Spatial Storage Talisman.
Then, under the spotlight, Qin Yang scribbled a few strokes and directly signed a check for ten million.
Pa-pa-pa!
Seeing Qin Yang signing a cash payment check right there, all the entrepreneurs present quieted down for a moment, then the hall erupted in warm applause.
Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
Photographers below the stage seized the moment and snapped several photos.
After Qin Yang signed the check, he handed it to the female host and then stepped down from the stage.
The female host stared blankly at the check in her hand for a moment, astonished by such straightforward payment on the spot. Usually, donations were transferred a few days after an event.
When she lifted her head again, she saw Qin Yang already stepping down the stage.
"Excuse me, I was too excited just now, so I didn't manage to say anything for a moment. On behalf of the children in mountain areas, I thank this generous gentleman.
The theme of our charity event today is to ensure educational opportunities for children in impoverished mountain areas by providing a nutritious lunch for them. We assure you that every donation will be used for the children."
The female host raised the microphone and said solemnly.
"Mr. Xu, this young man is impressive, quite straightforward too."
The plump middle-aged man sitting next to Xu Xinghan said.
"Hmm."
Xu Xinghan nodded slightly.
At this moment, the spotlight followed Qin Yang as he walked down the stage, accompanied by enthusiastic applause from the audience.
However, just as Qin Yang stepped off the stage and was about to return, his expression suddenly changed. He abruptly looked up at the ceiling of the hall, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.
